I read a book on grief It told me to lay in bed To picture you standing there And what you would have said I go to the corner store I get a Big Gulp of guilt I pour it on the floor just to watch it spill 'Cause all I do is watch TV I thank my lucky stars those people aren't me But I'm still staring at a screen Why do I compare Because comparing is free When I can't sleep at night I listen to true crime Is that my twisted brain Trying to pass the time Maybe if you were here You'd say you were too mean Maybe if you were here You'd be a drag queen 'Cause all I do is watch TV I thank my lucky stars those people aren't me But I'm still staring at a screen Why do I compare Because comparing is free All I need is eighty summers To get my shit together All I need is eighty summers To get my shit together All I do is watch TV I thank my lucky stars those people aren't me But I'm still staring at a screen Why do I compare Because comparing is free All I do is watch TV But I'm still staring at a screen

I was in the van when I saw the video Where you ripped me apart with a microphone So I said to Mel, well, at least I exist Can we pull over 'Cause I'm getting sick I spent the night and I let you bleach my hair I tried not to cry You tried not stare And we fell asleep on a pull-out bed Now do you pretend that we never met Does it count when you fall in love on a mountain And no one's shouting for you to watch out And I know I kissed every single person with lips But you were so special then And you still are now And on New Year's Eve I told you I'd never leave But I was not used to telling the truth back then If I could I'd do it all again Got on the A Took a train Upstate Couldn't close my eyes or I'd see your face And she texted me and said I should be ashamed Got a brand new phone and I changed my name I ate fast food and stayed at my parents' place Then I sent some nudes Just to act my age Should I be ashamed 'Least I told the truth Am I still to blame if you moved on too Does it count when you fall in love on a mountain And no one's shouting for you to watch out And I know I kissed every single person with lips But you were so special then and you still are now Went South on tour Slept on a kitchen floor and you stayed up with me 'Cause I was so scared of germs And the radio plays that song we danced so slow Now are you dancing to the same song with her I can't stand to hear that Waltz anymore

The Age 02:50
Is this the age when everything goes sour All this fruit and I can't make a dent In my dreams I hold you in the shower I wake up and all my clothes are soaking wet Give me one summer I won't forget Show me how to dance until my heart goes numb And I drink too much I'm used to regret Close your eyes, let's fall in love Is this is the month when it's too hot for touching All this ice is melting at my feet On the beach your shoulders, golden pillars Then I open up my mouth, but I can't speak Give me one summer I won't forget Show me how to dance until my heart goes numb And I drink too much I'm used to regret And I drink too much I'm used to regret When I drink too much can't you just pretend pretend pretend That this is the age when everything goes sour All this fruit and I can't make a dent In my dreams I hold you in the shower I wake up and all my clothes are soaking wet I wake up and all my clothes are soaking wet I wake up and all my clothes are soaking wet

about

Al Olender Kingston, New York

There’s nothing scarier than being honest with yourself. For singer/songwriter Al Olender, facing her fear of the truth has been a cleansing, often cathartic process that’s led to the kind of revelations she had previously thought unobtainable. On her debut full-length album Easy Crier, the Upstate New York based artist asks: what happens if we vow to never tell a lie, ever again? ... more
