April 3rd in the pouring rain
It's 5am and I'm broke and stuck again
My head is reeling, I've drank my feelings
I'm coming down and The Princeton calls my name
Remember the year before?
Remember the day you told me "you never know."
You might be right
That may be true
But this, I assure you
Letting go was the easy part
You won't hold me back or nail me down, no
And you can think what you want to
Tangled feet will take me where I need to go
I've chased hope through the rocks in a small glass
What was it worth and what was I thinking?
I've buried hatchets in the small of my own back
Over and over again
December 10th and it chills my bones
The streets are dead and I'm fucked and I'm coming home
I won't hold my breath, for a shot at another chance
But I crack a smile as I head down Wellington
Letting go was the easy part
You won't hold me back or nail me down, no
And you can think what you want to
Tangled feet will take me where I need to go
Tangled feet will take me where I need to go

one of the best and most excellent midwest emo record there is! amazingly well mixed for midwest emo. waterbed from this record compared to their mv version proves how important a good mix is, because suddenly this song sounds a lot more raw yet well produced in here. singaporecentralemo

Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
