You used to be such a pretty young With cowboy boots and blonde hair coloring That southern drawl you faked was charming for a bit But in the end, who really gives a shit? I'd like to think all our coffee dates Weren't all about the notes that you take call me dumb But I didn't see it comin' But I didn't see it comin' Is it me that you want? Or is it my ID? Is it me that you want? Or is it my ID? We used to be, such good friends But now even I, can't tell the difference Who'd a thought that you'd turn out to be just a snake Sizin' me up to eat Is it me that you want? Or is it my ID? Is it me that you want? Or is it my ID? I used to think you were my sister But I guess I was just your prey I used to think you were my brother But I guess I was just your prey I used to think you were my mother But I guess I was just your prey I used to think you were my father But I guess I was just your prey Is it me that you want? Or is it my ID? Is it me that you want? Or is it my ID? Is it me that you want? Or my D? ;) Is it me that you want? Or is it my ID?

Lost Sheep 03:46
We've got nine lives They've got ten knives And they're dyin' to introduce us to those blades There's a fine line Between love and wastin' time And its all, starting to look the same Everybody's got something to say But how much of it, really means anything? Whoa, tell me. Whoa tell me. What are we gonna to make a change? I don't know why We waste so much time Slaving away for a lifestyle we can't afford We can't speak the words alone Without a sarcastic tone Are we afraid of feeling real feelings anymore? Everybody's got something to say But how much of it, really means anything? Whoa, tell me. Whoa tell me. What are we gonna to make a change? Everybody's got something to say But how much of it, really means anything? Whoa, tell me. Whoa tell me. What are we gonna to make a change? Everybody's got something to say But how much of it, really means anything? Whoa, tell me. Whoa tell me. What are we gonna to make a change?

There's a change, a change a coming And I can't wait And all, this pain and suffering Won't be all in vain And I hate everything And I hate everything And I hate everything, but I love you And I hate everything And I hate everything And I hate everything, but I love you And all the things that make me anxious Can't be alleviated with one exhaled breath Like every other, house of cards Its coming tumbling tumbling tumbling down again And I hate everything And I hate everything And I hate everything, but I love you And I hate everything And I hate everything And I hate everything, but I love you And I hate everything And I hate everything And I hate everything, but I love you And I hate everything And I hate everything And I hate everything, but I love you

Spent the last three days staring out the window Not sure what to do with myself now Because everything I've known has walked out that front door Now I'm talking to the ravens in the yard Little blackbird, holding the world In your mouth, along with the sun Little blackbird, this might sound absurd But do you know anything about love? And I can't say that I am blameless But my heart is broken all the same Is there anything I could've done or said To make her interested again? Little blackbird, holding the world In your mouth, along with the sun Little blackbird, this might sound absurd But do you know anything about love? Little blackbird, holding the world In your mouth, along with the sun Little blackbird, this might sound absurd But do you know anything about love? Little blackbird, holding the world In your mouth, along with the sun Little blackbird, this might sound absurd But do you know anything about love? But do you know anything about love? But do you know anything about love?

Tranquilo 04:27
Jokes and songs used to Fill these halls And we'd drink our sorrows gone Til morning sun But it hasn't been that way in years And there's no amount of beer That could not make me feel like Not just giving up And I, don't know to say But my feelings for this cause, just ain't the same And this, no going back this time Cause that bridge is burnin' good, through the night I'm not the kind to say That I was right But I can see that coming from A mile away And no I won't pretend That you and I are friends Because we're not gonna fool anyone Any way And I, don't know to say But my feelings for this cause, just ain't the same And this, no going back this time Cause that bridge is burnin' good, through the night

Destino 03:56
If you ask me I think you're trying too hard Don't you know I'm addicted to your charm And I'm never, quite sure what to say I can tell you, I'm glad that I came If you ask me, this was doomed right from the start We both know, that everything falls apart But if this (but if this) all ended today I could look at you (I could look at you) and honestly say Just play it cool, like I know that you can do Just take my hand, we'll find our destino And I can't say, that we'll never never never lose our way But who's to say, what is our destino? Just play it cool, like I know that you can do Just take my hand, we'll find our destino And I can't say, that we'll never never never lose our way But who's to say, what is our destino? But who's to say, what is our destino? But who's to say, what is our destino?

Fairbanks 03:48
Somehow I feel alone In this dark and crowded room And I'm only sinking further With every awkward move And if I, could escape this awful place Then maybe I could find Some bright and better days Oh-, whoa- I feel like I am drowning Damn near constantly And I know that I need someone or something To help me, help me, help me find some peace To help me, help me, get back to my feet Somehow I feel alone In this dark and crowded room And I'm only sinking further With every awkward move And if I, could escape this awful place Then maybe I could find Some bright and better days Oh-, whoa- And I cannot fight this feeling When all these walls are closing in Should I just keep out for you To help me, help me, help me find some peace To help me, help me, save myself from me? Somehow I feel alone In this dark and crowded room And I'm only sinking further With every awkward move Somehow I feel alone In this dark and crowded room And I'm only sinking further With every awkward move And if I, could escape this awful place Then maybe I could find Some bright and better days Oh-, whoa-

I can't sleep And I can't feel my feet And I'm afraid my heart's no longer beating And my, anxiety I'll be coming nothing is overtaking I won't be coming home, ever again and I'm afraid it's the end of the road for me And this will be the last breath that I breath In this place of heartache and grief All I can see, is blood into the streets All the slack-jaw teeth closing in on me I don't know why I couldn't leave it behind Just leave it behind I won't be coming home, ever again and I'm afraid it's the end of the road for me And this will be the last breath that I breath In this place of heartache and grief

The Vice 02:51
I never thought I'd hear your voice again I could've sworn I left you for dead All of the mistakes we made along the way I swear I never meant for this It felt good It felt right And I won't, apologize It felt good It felt right And I won't, apologize I look around every now and then Searching for your ghost trying to make amends All of the mistakes we made along the way I swear I never meant for this It felt good It felt right And I won't, apologize It felt good It felt right And I won't, apologize

Take Care 05:35
We're just so hungry For our rest The world doesn't slow down It's meaningless We're just so hungry (We're just so hungry) For our rest The world doesn't slow down It's meaningless Take care of me and I'll take care of you It's no match for us when the map's held by two All this time that we waste alone It's no match for us when we grow All this time that we waste alone It's no match for us when we grow We're just so ready For our time You feel disjointed So come unwind We're just so ready (We're just so ready) For our time You feel disjointed So come unwind Take care of me and I'll take care of you It's no match for us when the map's held by two All this time that we waste alone It's no match for us when we grow All this time that we waste alone It's no match for us when we grow Take of me and I'll take care of you <3

about

Late Bloomers is a heartfelt "plug-and-play," album of Alaskan alt punk inspired by bands like Against Me! and Nirvana. This album features songs written as long as 10 plus years ago from lead singer and guitarist Russ Ariel's early solo projects and bands. The title is a nod to the budding of late music careers, and the band name a reminder to worry about what you enjoy doing and not what the "house opinion" may be. With the honesty of the lyrics and energy of the beats, this album strives to be genuine, fun, and straight to the point.
