Curious Quail - This Rest Stop Sucks
Part four of "Twelve Months"! The restrictions for this song were: 174 BPM, 4 Minutes Long and "Blaring out of a car stereo on a cross country road trip". Click More for Lyrics / etc!
More about 'Twelve Months':
On the first of each month in 2018 we are assigned 3 randomly selected restraints and have to write a song, record it, film it and release it before the end of that month. At the end of month 12, all of the songs will be remastered for a full-length with some B-Sides. ON MAY 1st: we ran a 24 hour poll on Twitter and Facebook for y'all to help us pick the 3 restrictions for the May song! It was a lot of fun and we'll probably do another one for June so make sure to follow us on both!

LYRICS:
Tired
Open window stings your tired face
How long's it been since laughter was replaced
All these things just end in our disgrace
No
I won't give up so easily
There may be nothin' as far as we can see
But we're not alone
No we're not alone
I know it feels like we have had enough
And all these things are empty to the touch
But We're not alone
No we're not alone
Though we may be fallin' deeper still
I'll hold on if you promise that you will
Stop
I swear we've already seen that truck
Can I just say this rest stop fuckin' sucks
But we will be safe
Rain
Sheets of water pourin' through these holes
We shoulda fixed 'em weeks ago, I know
Hindsight must be laughin’ I suppose
But No
We won't give up so easily
And though this may be the end of all we see
Well we're not alone
No we're not alone
I know it feels like we have had enough
When everything is empty to the touch
But We're not alone
No we're not alone
Though we may be fallin' deeper still
I'll hold on if you promise that you will
