Tear You Up 05:35
we grew up in the arms of the west end, now we’ve got a story to tell/ find it hard to believe me/ when i pound on the vanity table and i’m crying for help/ i’ve seen a million others drop dead in the heat/ from burt highway to cherry street/ so honey, climb in/ there’s still rubber to spin/ i’ve got a box of franzia i can plan my escape next week/ and i’ll tear you up/ well we rolled around on top of my Lincoln ’til you had my blood on your shirt/ was it hard to forget that/ if you’ve got something to say to me now you better hope that it works/ and when the tattered neon lights up your eyes/ i’ll pray to god for one more try/ but it all burns out/ once you know where you’re at/ i can keep my mouth shut if you don’t wanna be hurt like that/ near the football field in a bonfire blaze all the kids melt bottles down into ashtrays/ and in cars that were made when we were in first grade all the hickies swim up to the surface through jet black veins/ is it wrong/ to drown all of these people i’ve met with my sweat when i’m just trying to move on/ will it even get me that farther ahead/ cause in the next six weeks I’ll make fourty-two plans/ when i leave town they will all boil down to just eating whatever and fucking whoever i can/ when i come home you’ll understand

Grand Haven 04:29
feet are scraping by the water/ smell the smoke the sickly darkness/ you an ever kissing daughter/ energy i could not harness here or anywhere/ water vapor grips your ankles/ legs unshaven like a cactus/ we could let our lives untangle but it’s going to take some practice/ backs against that dying lighthouse/ singing songs about each other/ looking down the barrel of another unforgiving summer/ i can’t seem to get off that fence/ remembering the heads and the hearts you bent/ paying for a change that we underwent/ hoping for a moment that i’ll never get/ and i know, and i know we’re never gonna leave and come back alone/ hello grand haven/ drowning in the white-hot spotlights of our dead-end conversations/ always just an inch behind the peace of mind that i’ve been chasing/ worn out from the beer we smuggled/ hoping for some kind of breakthrough/ listening to your rebuttal to the promises i made you here or anywhere

Come In 04:02
if you’re after him with no place left to hide/ come in, don’t stop to wonder why/ such a lonely view but beautiful from here tonight/ come in, don’t stop to wonder why/ i’m waking up and driving home with your head against my lap/ i never thought that you would know about my fingers on your back/ but if presented with his touch would you give me up/ well i know/ i’m pouring something beautiful down the front of your red dress/ i’ve got a boy for you to kill and a man for you to try/ i can feel it in your breath/ you’d have never guessed but i know/ if i left the porchlight on would you come undone/ well i know/ welcome back/ i knew that i had enough here waiting for you to make you crack/ are you listening/ body glistening/ i finally found you out/ nothing hurts, nothing happens when you’ve got your hands on/ the people you can still let go of after all that you’ve done/ i’m waking up and driving home with your head against my lap/ feels great to know that you’ll always be coming back/ after everything is gone/ and you think you’re done fooling everyone that i know

Joann 03:34
Worn out from pulling weeds Out from the cracks inside her skull She's an important freak She's tired of moving out Every four months to somewhere worse She takes another bite from the boy of the week Joann Your mouth is boarded up Her body kinder and cleaner Than you had ever imagined The room is filling up With high school heroes and thugs You're not a fan but Joann is Behind her perfumed skin Pulls back one more mournful grin Welcomes all the half-dead men and lukewarm gin That help her redefine regret And she ran from that house with a kiss on her neck Smelled like an angel when you found her crying on the steps Who would have guessed Your heads on fire 'cause you're the only one left for Joann Joann Making the most of the violence And the silence And the streetlights crying on your car And the fact that you're not drunk yet And the one to one talk that you know you'll have on the way back to your apartment And the fact that you bought that movie she says she loves And the drugs somebody gave her that make her think nobody cares about her but you Oh, poor Joann Young fear lives in the air The hormones float in your lungs But her song's already been sung And in the morning when she leaves to slam some sham with a grand am You watch the time you spent deflate And pray to god that you could hate Joann Joann

Rewind, 1998 Played in the basement while your parents drank February throwing light away Upstairs I turned down the lamp Played your CD's in your room and watched you and your sister dance Second hand smoke coming down my throat and back up as I laugh Back before we didn't take advice Back before our spirits weren't so tender You think I wouldn't remember King and Queen Feet in the grass heads in a back yard dream The memory is wiped off clean What I know for sure is that time turns all luck around and around And it wore your parents out Spent that night crying with your face in the couch You gave those high school nights away like everybody does To the people that you thought you wanted And you wonder how your hollow heart got so haunted King and Queen Of places where we'd never want to be The money spent at seventeen and on me The memory is wiped off clean Alcohol dried up your mother Give that thought sunlight and water Makes you wonder why you even bother Watching TV getting high Telling me how hard you tried Making memories of barely getting by we are the King and Queen The ones who no one ever got to see Just sitting 'round a rotted dream Lean on me The simple life can be so mean The memory is wiped off clean

Popping the veins in my neck I surrendered Back to you I think about it I mostly remember Black and blue Built up a life inside my head but took a look on the outside And relived that sin Since I'm too tired to listen in You are a fist full or Ritalin taking my virginity I vomit I am the timid but upgraded version of me I promise The Sunday aftermath is begging me to fade out and slip by inside a coward's skin Yeah, you were naked Just like you planned it I know you hadn't planned on burning me out But I just take it I french inhale it Breathe out a story of you bringing me down Being alone is the meaning of freedom Believe me I only love those unable to see me in the end The spirit of October took me over, hardened my inside And that won't change again Yeah, you were naked Just like you planned it I know you hadn't planned on burning me out But I just take it I french inhale it Breathe out a story of you bringing me down If I could find my own way out I would have done it by now I would have Quit growing up Just like you planned it I know you hadn't planned on burning me out But I just take it I french inhale it Breathe out a story of you bringing me down

Piling It On 04:20
i spent the summertime/ fighting my wandering eyes/ biting on my tongue to pass the afternoons/ make-up shower sex/ thinking ‘bout what came next/ in an empty house the night before you moved/ wouldn’t take that much to put the blame on me now/ i woke up Christmas eve/ tired of waking up/ with a rotted hand still sleeping on your hip/ you said you never felt a rush like that/ you never felt a place so warm/ wouldn’t take that much to kill you in my grip/ but it all amounts to just a couple kids now/ touching you weather we live or die/ now that we’ve been away for so long/ i know you’re smiling but you wont see mine/ i never meant to take it that far/ keep piling it on/ keep piling it on until we’ve moved on/ I got a little bit after all/ had a little too much too soon/ didn’t take that much to put the blame on you/ i’m a little bit older now/ holding this weight wore my shoulders out/ and it feels so good to finally put it down now/ keep piling it on, keep driving away/ when everything decays/ keep piling it on

about

Decades Lansing, Michigan

Decades are what happens when three kids who grew up on punk, ska, and metal discover the smooth music of the 70’s and 80’s, and the alternative radio rock of the 90’s. Though the band still embrace their roots, it was their mutual interest in the great pop songwriters and lyricists of the last 5 decades that formed Decades. ... more
