There's a feeling clinging inside
Claws in deep, it's never gonna die it won't
Started small, bumbling around
Watered it a little, just to see it grow
Happened quick, much too big
Never wanted this, guess I'd rather die alone
Took too much, gave too little
Somewhere in the middle, guess I'll never fuckin' know
So here I sit in the empty cell
Of my walled off heart
And it's only me
As it had been from the start
There's nothing I want more
Than to tear these walls apart
Before I paint them with my memories
Like a piece of art
A piece of art
A piece of art
A piece of art
Paint him like a fuckin' piece of art
(x6)
What good is all of this pain
If all it ever got me was another day of freezing rain?
Trickling in these four bare walls
While echoes of misery bounce around my sickly brain
Sounds like another old dog
Howling uncertainly, tail between my trembling legs
How hard can it really be?
Learn some new tricks just to prove that I can change
That I can change
That I can change
That I can change
Prove that I can change
(x4)

----------------------------------------------
Absolutely no idea where this feeling is coming from
I'm just crazy, isn't that right?
It's definitely not just me picking up on the signs
And then you repeatedly gaslight me
Into thinking that I'm the problem
You win, Melanie
Please don't contact me
It's nice to be remembered, but why not live right now?

about
In a distant future where the remnants of society stand in ruins, where the harmony of life as we know it has fractured, "Four Dudes Jamming (Except There Are Only Two of Us)" emerges as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. This EP tells the captivating story of four unlikely heroes, drawn together by fate at the decaying Orpheum Theater in Omaha, Nebraska. Each bearing their unique burdens, they find solace, camaraderie, and a rare form of magic in their impromptu compositions. Join them on a post-apocalyptic voyage, where they unearth the symphony within themselves and leave an enduring mark on a world in disarray.

After meeting each other off of Center Street at 5 years old, the two halves of Plains, Luke Gibbons and Jake Shaw-
Sutherland, became lifelong best friends. Now, after nearly 20 years of friendship and playing music separately for about just as long, the two have joined to creatively express themselves together for the first time. And thus, Plains was born....more
