iamtinyhands Glass Bones by Straight Line Arrival is honest, heart-wrenching, and just pissed enough to get your juices flowing. The instrumentals, especially in Bastard of a Bastard, chilled me to my core. Favorite track: Bastard of a Bastard.

herebemonstersmusic Glass Bones is an album that pulls no punches and is as heartbreaking as it is honest. The album is the most meditative iteration of SLA's music, and it's the quality of musicianship is matched only by its production, which makes for a truly unique listening experience. Highly highly highly recommend. Favorite track: Probably Not.

I never said much to my father and he never said much to me I guess it's hard to say much to people you don't ever see I used to stay up late at night wondering if the man i would become is anything like my poor old man who would walk away from his son my biggest fear as a child was growing up to be the same but for fucks sake someones gotta break the cycle somethings gotta change

Glass Bones 04:20
I just gotta figure out where it goes if it goes anywhere at all you could see right through me if it wasn't for the shame that I wear and if I dropped everything you wouldn't even know I was there AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS YEAR AS THE YEAR I BROKE EVERY BONE THAT I HAD LEFT I've got glass bones I've got thick skin and I've got a thick skull to match it My biggest fear is one day having to pick up the pieces And I'm scared if I keep breaking myself that I'll break everything I love as well I've got glass bones, I've got glass bones, I've got glass bone you met me at a good time if such a thing really exists nowadays I just don't know what's real and what's a myth but this feels like something I can hold if i can learn just to hold on I gotta get a grip before my grip is withdrawn AND I WAS ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS YEAR AS THE YEAR I LOST EVERY FRIEND THAT I HAD LEFT If I let go then I let go for good

Houses 03:29
tattoos of houses youll never live in and animals that you have never seen but you would like to, but you would like to say you were any where but here doing anything other than what you're doing now cautious optimism for the future stepping on eggshells until then but seven months, but in seven months you can wave goodbye in three languages that you have stolen from your favorite songs I've got a plan with a pocketful of pens that whispers it will be okay I've kept myself in okay arrangements that keep me sane from day to day and while it's so god damn easy to wish for more, say i deserve more but for now but for now but for now this will have to do, this will have to do It's a shame that we're living on borrowed time

well my basement smells like shit because my cats, they won't behave but im not a good person and they love me anyways i fuck up so much its become a habit of mine so i cant be mad at them if they shit from time to time if i could hold a job as well i can hold a cigarette when i was sixty i could retire and not to a hospital bed and if i could love you half as well as you love me then this could last forever not just for a week but i digress everything falls apart but i don't try to keep it together my minds a jumbled mess of blank words and blank letters i keep writing these things even when they don't make much sense because it helps me cope when good things come to an end i smile when it hurts and i smile when i drink and i pause to converse but does it matter what i think and if i could just love myself half as much as you love me it would be half as much a mistake and end up half as much hurting

I've got glass bones I've got thick skin and I've got a thick skull to match it My biggest fear is one day having to pick up the pieces And I'm scared if I keep breaking myself that I'll break everything I love as well I've got glass bones, I've got glass bones

Probably Not 03:22
I wake up on most days wondering if it's worth it to get out of bed the first place and after a cup of coffee I'm fine I'd pray for a change, if praying ever did much of anything if there's a god, he's never on time I'm sorry Adam your heroin dealer never showed up to your funeral sorry mom I only call when its convenient I'm sorry for every job I've quit but you'll never see me apologize or admit to any wrong doing in my life because I don't deserve the woman I love or this house that we live in I never worked for a thing No, I don't deserve any of these lucky breaks I've been given I'm still alive, that's more than some can say I wake up most days well into the damn afternoon I'd check the calls I missed if I had a phone I'd pray for change, if someone else wasn't doing it for me and look how it works out for them I'd smash a window if I didn't have thirty of them myself so I'll wait for someone to do it in my stead I don't have the drive to go and kill a politician the revolution can wait until I learn how to get out of bed because I don't deserve to have people hear the songs I'm singing every words been said a thousand fucking times by people who live the life I wish I was living I wonder if they get out of bed on time probably not

I had a dream where I was thirty and nothing had changed you tell me you dream of running away and changing your name and I wouldn't expect you to feel anything but angry and sad I could lie and say the world is good, but lately it all just seems bad i can smell the broken pipes in this house show the band is still playing but i wish i was alone In a few years will this mean anything will i remember much of anyone will any of this stand out at all in few weeks will i be in the same place will i be stuck in the same mindset if i can't change it now then tell me will it ever change i can smell the broken pipes in this house show the band is still playing but i wish i was alone maybe the place i live in isn't causing my depression maybe my depression keeps me in this place and I know now more then ever i gotta get better before i go away

Wanderlust 03:09
And is Life is a parody of human existence Smiling is proof of our stubborn persistence Letdown upon letdown in regular consistence I'll just walk home alone I'll just walk home alone again I need something new I just don't wanna be here I need something new I just don't wanna be And tonight I'm counting stars While all of you count sheep Or cruise around in your cars And let your high beams blind me You say you want to catch up But honestly I've been stuck in place I have nothing to tell you really Although nothings been quite the same Nothing changes I'm leaving all of this behind Nothing changes I'm leaving all of this behind Nothing changes And nothing changes Nothing changes And nothing changes here at all Nothing changes I need something new And I think about how I think too much
