lyrics

I walk down Benevolent Street in Providence. My dad called me yesterday at work and I cried in the closet. Prick my heart with a pin. I’m deflating and everything is pointless. What’s been laid out in front of me? Sticker on the back of the truck is faded and scratched, white and blue. It says “I never leave Rhode Island.” I wish that were true. Are you proud of me for doing exactly what’s been laid out in front of me? I don’t know what to do. I’m giving in. The logical part of my brain doesn’t have anything else to say, and I’m crying thinking about the way things turn out.

Prison On A Hill
by Somos

supported by 8 fans who also own “The Way Things Turn Out”

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long.
