La Dispute- Why It Scares Me

I think this is up already, but I couldn't resist, and the quality is good. An amazing song. From "searching for a pulse/ the worth of the world" split with Touche Amore.

At times I've shouted out unprovoked, at the world and you,
Just to see if the people around me react.
Sometimes I think they're all acting,
At times I'm scared that I'm acting too. Like,
My movements or stage directions?
Was that a change in topic or a beat in a scene?
Have I been taking my emotional cues from a script I wrote at sixteen?

Maybe I just think about it all so much
That that the fear stays close to all the ghosts I've touched.
Makes me question
Was it love or just lust?
Caked in blood or old rust?
I don't know.

Don't we remember all the moments we remember the best
Framed in poems and in pictures, sang aloud in refrains?
Does this cycle of pain and disdain for the past
Not work exactly the same?

Maybe it's just as much about what comes our way as it is about how we react.
Just as much about the things that we've still got as it is about the things we lack.
I know we won't always keep around all we feel we need--
some are fading in frames, some were born to leave--
But if we're still here, and we still breathe,
I guess we've still got time to figure it out,
To know what to do,
To know how to feel,
Know the things that I've been making up inside my head, and
To know what's real.
I want to believe that the way I am is just the way things go.
For the things that came, not the things I chose
to come.
I want to know if I had any control.
I want to know if it'd comfort me.

And if my heart just stops, pack my memories in it--
I want to know all the love I've got.
And if my heart just stops, keep me alive for a minute--
I want to know if a curtain drops.

god, why is nevershoutnever in the suggestions bar?

[hellomynameisalex12]

@grrgot you're a fag gtfo

[Abbeyisssexycx]

Why are we talking about nevershoutnever? xD I love Christofer Drew. Just in case anyone was wondering! <3

[CaptainBubuloids]

@asingerh They're two completely different genres for sure. I'm just saying. I can listen to both of them.

[asingerh]

@CaptainBubuloids To each their own. But there's an undeniable chasm between the two in terms of honesty, integrity, and talent- regardless of how you feel about either artist.

[CaptainBubuloids]

@asingerh I enjoy nevershoutnever and La Dispute.

@XxD3ADxTR33xX I'm sorry you like shitty music.

[XxD3ADxTR33xX]

@ShynessIsGolden Nah no one said they were from the La Dispute fanclub, haha, some of my best friends listen to this type of music, so i know about the songs and bands. The music is good, just the voices throw the whole thing off in my opinion. Like i really love post rock, which would sound like this in a way without words.

[ShynessIsGolden]

@XxD3ADxTR33xX Well, I'm sorry to hear that. There are plenty of jerks in the world, and being a jerk back doesn't fix anything. Besides, did someone say "I'm here from the La Dispute fanclub and this music sucks"?

I sympathize with you because I hate it when people are rude about something that's completely subjective. It makes me upset just as it made you upset when idiots insulted your music.

[XxD3ADxTR33xX]

@ShynessIsGolden actually, i came here to troll cause i was sick of you guys trolling on my band's videos, and my friends who like this music constantly making fun of the sweet tone of deeper voices. Johnny Cash for instance.

[ShynessIsGolden]

@XxD3ADxTR33xX Just because you don't like this doesn't mean you have to ruin it for everyone that does. Yeah, sure generally I hate music like this, I think he's whiny and annoying sounding, but at the same time it's strangely poetic to me. Just like you like your own bands, we like this one, and we don't insult you.

I don't dislike your comment because you don't like the band, I dislike it because you're being an ass about it.

@XxD3ADxTR33xX Yeah, I listen to some ABR as well, and I used to listen to BFMV when I was younger, and I thought the same thing about this band when I first heard them, then the more I listened to them the more I liked them. I think if you give it some time you would come to really enjoy this band
