"Remember saying things like 'we'll sleep when we're dead'
And thinking this feeling was never gonna end.

Remember that night you were already in bed, 
Said 'fuck it' got up to drink with me instead

#50 (of 365) "Derailed" Joyce Manor

6/13/2026

 
I'm not as young as I once was, and oddly, when I was younger, I didn't go to as many concerts as I do now. Of course, I didn't live in Hudson County within a short drive or train ride to Brooklyn or Manhattan, where there are dozens of shows every single night, but it's kind of ironic, now that I'm older, how many shows I go to with mosh pits and how often I now avoid the mosh pit--because it's torture on my knees--and then how often I get sucked right in with one song and then stay, at least at the edge, for the rest of the show. For Joyce Manor, if "Catalina Fight Song" doesn't come first, this song pulls me in every time.

When you make a decent living, will you buy me a train set and a hat?
So that I can sit alone in my room, sending people away from the ones they love.
Or crash them into buildings, explosions, derailments and screaming children.
Oh my god, I think I'm in love.
Yes, I know that this must be love when you ache through the days, 
Because you'll never mend your ways.
