II. For What It’s Worth yeah I’m the best, the best at holding on and you know, the worst at letting go i cant believe this is the life i lead and I'm still surprised you have no faith in me i know my searching for my purpose has taken time well its not a thing thats easily defined hypocrite, you know your in that same boat but still you thought you could cast the first stone for once it falls on you to follow through (cliche) cause this cowardice is just not suiting you. (for once you'll swallow pride or see i was not a fool to fall for your lies, you were wise to hide you know i can read those eyes every lie you've told grew more absurd more bold the distance you create will come around around when were both old . the wounds that you left still sting my life is now a phone that never rings im just trying to do my best to survive and thrive through this mess but its so hard sometimes to see a future where your not afraid to be seen. what happens now that its gone? you moved, i cant say you moved on i wish i hadn't read you like a book all along and to think i used to think of you as strong but i just keep saying i made it through the war i can help to help but its you who'll choose a door every day i wake to fight once more and I'm alone again when i needed the support unfortunate the only news to report this is my last of last resorts soon enough you'll realize the score i swear life is so god damn short! this misery is killing me im questioning what i believe this miserys controlling me i fuckin let you close to me yeah well misery is not who i will be i chose but this misery is history you were meant to see the future next to me

IX— At the Gates of Old at the gates of old we draw our swords and wait blood flows no time for words now flocks flown our stand is made here thunder grows at the gates of old untold reign from hell, foretold face the ocean and embrace the swell fire and fury wood and rock and bone time of madness friends who've fallen down count our losses at the gates of old armor shines, in the field, reflections hanging in our shields time moves slow, hard to know, whats become of whats been? fire and fury wood and rock and bone time of madness friends who've fallen down we count our losses at the gates of old At the Gates of Old—-

about

Released April 10, 2015, this is our debut full length album. We recorded it ourselves on credit cards and a shoestring budget over the course of a year, as well as did our interpretation of mixing, mastering and artwork. The result is an album that is different, no matter how you slice it, and represents what this band and this music and these two weirdos in the band are like. Get some headphones (recommended) or settle for a badass stereo and take an hour to check out the insanity we put to tape.

We are always working and currently are in the process of transferring our second album from our imaginations into reality, and trying to play live and fuck shit up. Thanks for checking us out y'all, and if you think we're onto something, check us out all over the god damn internet. youtube, Facebook, instagram, reverbnation, soundcloud, not twitter fuck that, @ small.drawings@gmail.com, and if you are a stalker, find us arguing about game of thrones on reddit.

We're two kids in adult bodies trying to do what we love and survive/get somewhere in life, and those two things are difficult to get together as artists in our early 20s. Party on, Garth
