Lyrics
They got me screamin again, barely taking time to breathe The watershed is leakin and it’s seepin into everything I’m screamin again, what do they want me to see? Amnesty is leaving, and dishonesty is free
God’s honest truth isn’t up for review What can you do if screamin’s all you can do And yet nothing seems to move Sorry that I’m screamin at you
They got me screamin again, beggin somebody to change Wonder if there is meaning in the noise of all the rage I’m screamin again, ‘cause the steam needs a release And the engine gets to freezin if you let the oil bleed
God’s honest truth isn’t up for review That’s what you do when screamin’s all you can do Nothing seems to move Sorry that I’m screamin at you

Your voice just leaps from the starting gun, I love it! The 'gods honest truth' line is fantastic. The arrangement is simple but you're giving so much to the performance that I'm not missing anything. Great song!
this is awesome. you managed to rock hard even with an acoustic guitar. this is real catchy. great vocals. and i dig those kind of jazzy chords
YES. This is phenomenal - it's like you've taken my favourite parts of Jeff Rosenstock and transplanted them onto Matt Pless' vocal style (I KNOW comparisons aren't always helpful - it's a great piece of work in its own right, my mind just makes associations to figure out how much I like something!)
Acoustic punk is a big soft spot for me, this nails it - and it feels a bit bluesier and groovier than a lot of the genre which I really dig. You leave a lot of room to really play in both the guitar and the vocals, and you’ve got some skills to make it sound that natural! Awesome
The way the chorus moves from strident, angry, almost frenetic chords to that melancholic, flowing chord structure works insanely well. And the way it flows back into the screamed, angsty vocal and hits its stride again right after creates an interesting, engaging dynamic. This song breathes (and screams.)
This is so nice!!! Thank you so much.
Nice Work! We are all screaming these days
I feel all of this so hard. If we don’t scream it out it will wreck us. At the end there “gods honest truth isn’t up for review”…chills. Great listen
Exuberant, raw punky, quite cathartic feel in some way? Great crisp sound too!
love the delivery. wonderfully played and imaginatively written. I woudn't say no to writing one like this per week :) great start!
I like the irony of the jauntiness with the intensity of the vocals and lyrics
The lyric is so serious but that start scream had me howling with laughter!
Love the high punk energy on acoustic here. This song is immaculate.
That's so nice!! Unbelievably stoked that the scream got you hahaha
omg the energy is off the charts in this one, absolutely love your vocal delivery! 😁
Oh I love this. The delivery takes me back to some of my favorite 80's/90's alt-rock-goes-acoustic music. I love how big picture things are hinted at with descriptors from the everyday.
Welcome to FAWM screaming is welcome and you are not alone. This rips! Enjoyed the whole piece lots of cool changes sprinkled throughout and you really send it dude! Nice work
Hahaha one simply must send it. Thank you!
What’re you silly? I’m still gonna send it…
One must and you did. Cheers and look forward to more!
This is awesome!!! I love the style, your voice reminds me of And You Will Know Us by The Trail of the Dead. The lyrics are great. I’m def listening to this again
Ooh, hadn't heard of them! Love it! Thanks for the kindness 🙏
This was such a great tune! Killer hook and super catchy! I think my favorite part was the passion in your voice. I feel like you let it all hang out and that’s definitely the coolest thing!
“What can you do if screamin’s all you can do” is a 10/10 lyric. Absolutely phenomenal!
