she screams into the mirror as her arms run red her life has lost all hope and now she's standing on the edge she doesn't know what she means to me she's so far away and yet I want her in my arms i want to hold her close until the fear is finally gone she doesn't know what she means to me now she is surrounded by the people that she knows she wants to stay forever she wants to hold them close she just can't stay like this forever (chorus) she's so far away and yet I want her in my arms I want to hold her close until the fear is finally gone she knows she cannot stand 'round here too long but I try to make things better and make her belong oh five years later she sits at home, she's overcome her fear and she's never alone she's got somebody to hold her now may not be me, but i don't care now (chorus) she's so far away and yet I want her in my arms I want to hold her close until the fear is finally gone she knows she cannot stand 'round here too long but I try to make things better and make her belong oh oh oh oh oh oh oh make her belong oh

Woke up and took my pills I walked down the stairs feeling ill told my mama that I loved her then I told her I had a lover I bounced off the walls like some rubber I pet my cat and I rub her back as I leave I turn back and say "thanks for nothing anyway" I left the house like a cannonball made a random call to someone I never knew and for a moment I felt sorta just like you ooh, that's gotta hurt, I'm sorry but I meant it you never knew, you pretended like you knew everything please likehate me cause I starve myself while I feed my mind with these selfish thought of my self-indulgent selfish bullet I wish I could find an end or find a friend to help me out of this before my face meets a fist, probably my own fist, I'm even on my own kill list these are pointless words that mean nothing to persons of interest stupid verses, as things worsen, climbing into my hearse and blessings for you are my curse and salt in the wounds just make it worse and the things that I think, the things that I say don't have meaning to you anyway anyway anyway (hate like, like hate, like like, hate hate) Hate me like a break in you neck Like me like you hate your ex hate when you like, LikeHate LikeHate myself Hate me like a break in you neck Like me like you hate your ex hate when you like, LikeHate LikeHate myself These words they're just sounds organized to sound like clever thoughts, but what I've brought is a waste of time looking for distractions in a stupid rhyme, and all they are are odd contraptions, strange reactions, not responsible for my actions I'm just acting out what's on my mind I try to be kind of like all the others out there all the people with brown hair green eyes like it's a green light to act like everything's fine I need to unwind pause all time undermine what I thought were good intentions destroying inventions by the way I ought to mention that everything you see will end and that includes you lucrative love, ludicrous hugs giving up, going down in history thoughts and memories these will be the end of me, end of me, end of me, it's the end of the world as we know it, don't blow it, as I walk downtown I start to look around cuz people don't know me I think they want to throw me I can't help it I'm sinking back to my hell pit think I should relish the relish on my hot dog, I feel like the odd one out, not like a shout, every time I see a clown, but ooh, now will you LikeHate me too? ooh (likeHate, HateLike, LikeHate, HateLike) Hate me like a bad taste Like me when you're headed south hate when you like, LikeHate LikeHate myself Hate me like a bad taste Like me when you're headed south hate when you like, LikeHate LikeHate myself Hate me like a bad taste Like me like you're headed south hate when you like, LikeHate LikeHate myself Like I like hate myself

about

Separate from my main music brand, The Troop of 85 was an indie/surfer rock spinoff.
The name came from coming across an abandoned building that was an old girls scout troop on the corner of 85th, now demolished and turned into a retirement center. I just thought it would be a cool name for a band. So I created it myself.
This was recorded between 2014/2015, so I was 15-16, didn't like doing multiple takes, was still figuring out my flow, so some of it's kinda rough. At the same time, that could be taken as part of the aesthetic.
The distortion on the vocals was intentionally part of the aesthetic.
Because of this, most of these tracks have never seen the light of day, with the exception of "Belong".
It has been years now since I've worked on these songs, and no longer have the files or even the program I made them on, so they're not getting any better without fully being recreated & rewritten. Maybe someday.
But yeah, this was five-six years ago that I wrote these, and they've also just been sitting in my library.
I may do something in the future with this project/band, but I haven't written many songs lately, so we'll see.
