lyrics
Kathy I love this kid,
Runs so much faster than I ever did,
Crossed the globe and started as an intern,
At an indie label in a downturn,
Folded over the corner of the page,
Lit the spark and stormed the stage,
Left your friends in Fortitude Valley,
Joined a band and nailed the finale,
My heart was in arrhythmia when I saw you,
Standing silhouetted on Maple Avenue,
I felt trouble brewing, I felt the planet shake,
But I went along anyway,
In the hazy orange light,
Underneath the viaduct that night,
I had to change my tune to spare my blushes,
If this were a movie and this was the start,
Would it be a cliché part?
Cause I am far too old for foolish crushes.
So come and visit for the weekend,
Brutalism by the river with a new friend,
No secrets, no shame,
Falling in love is a dangerous game to play.

The Cleveland band temper uncompromising metalcore breakdowns with infectious jangle-pop melodies and ample dark humor.
