Shocker 03:43
Fearing for the focus felt a frankly folded high Simply sinking safely sounding suffocating lie Through the thrusted thorough thought they thread through from before Laying low but landed lies luck locked out light ignored How do you get it through? I wish that I could get away from you Time to tell intrinsically to televise your mind Overcast and overlapping overwhelming find As the abject annexing was apt and yet begun Preparing the pieces, planned and protested action How do you get it through? I wish that I could get away from you How do you get it through? I wish that I could get away from you

I fell down when you fell out Far away Grief at bay I fell down when you fell out No one lasts Red light passed I can't stay while you decay Keep me warm In the storm I fell down

Evergreen 02:52
we cannot lay in the dark fueling an ever fading spark feeling the pieces drift away watching the embers fade to grey remember the promise evergreen but do the ends justify the means? we cannot lay in the dark fueling an ever fading spark feeling the pieces drift away watching the embers fade to grey remember the promise evergreen but do the ends justify the means?

Pretty Sweet 02:55
Ask yourself Do you really know whats going on? A flower fell I think that I finally found whats wrong And if I get caught on the simplest things Giving up on that unwritten melody I take up my time to think To realize its only passing by Somehow before I blink It’s looking me right square in the eye And if I get caught on the simplest things Giving up on that unwritten melody Ask yourself Do you really know whats going on? A flower fell I think that I finally found whats wrong

You called me up, was asking bout a song Your inflection, I could tell something was wrong What did you feel like? Topics changed a few hundred degrees Your favorite boots were fading I agreed You said how they felt like They'd come to you for comfort and respect Which knowing you they certainly would get Didn't change what they felt like The weight of all your words That I was buried underneath Begrudgingly agreed Another promise couldn't keep I am anchored to it all Will it all still be here next month? Next winter or fall? She stumbled in the dark and all alone Hope the mumbling resonated through the phone Understood what she felt like I can't believe the things some people say Yet I've pictured it still ending up that way Asking me what I feel like Don't always see the picture as a whole See the sunlight, touch the water, feel the cold Every day what it feels like The weight of all your words That I was buried underneath Begrudgingly agreed Another promise couldn't keep I am anchored to it all Will it all still be here next month? Next winter or fall?

Something's around the bend before you And I can't say what it is Something's around the bend waiting for you Where do we begin Something's around the bend before you And I can't say what it is Something's around the bend waiting for you Where do we begin Something's around the bend before you And I can't say what it is Something's around the bend waiting for you Where do we begin

about

Recorded in multiple states, at numerous locations, using a $14 microphone over the span of nearly an entire year, Songs for Austin is the debut release from Dallas emo-ish rock-ish band Counterexpressive. Each song on the record attempts a different style, from shoegaze-influenced pop-punk to 90s indebted slowcore and indie folk. We wanted to have fun with this and strongly feel that no matter your persuasion, you'll find something to enjoy on here.
