I met a girl at a pawnshop Selling all her boyfriend's clothes She looked distressed as she told me There's thunder underneath my toes Yeah But I don't want your baggage now Cause I just got my shit worked out Am I too far gone? I may be wrong but I doubt it There's no truthness about it But when I try to get high It makes me feel so alone She tells me my band is emo And slightly kinda screamo I may be wrong but I doubt it Now I've been away for a while I've been losing it for months on end I can't get a girl so I told her Honey won't you only be my friend Yeah Now everyone feels sorry now Cause my damn life's turned upside down Am I too far gone? I may be wrong but I doubt it There's no truthness about it But when I try to get high It makes me feel so alone She tells me my band is emo And slightly kinda screamo I may be wrong but I doubt it I may be wrong but I doubt it There's no truthness about it But when I try to get high It makes me feel so alone She tells me my band is emo And slightly kinda screamo I may be wrong but I doubt it Yeah No one cares No one cares Yeah I may be wrong but I doubt it There's no truthness about it But when I try to get high It makes me feel so alone She tells me my band is emo And slightly kinda screamo I may be wrong but I doubt it I may be wrong but I doubt it There's no truthness about it But when I try to get high It makes me feel so alone She tells me my band is emo And slightly kinda screamo I may be wrong but I doubt it Yeah

Weighing the options on a scale Seeing how all these things would fail Trapped in a wave of one-night stands They got me thinking I'm the man Wait I'm falling apart Wait My mind is charred I'm crossed as fuck I don't know where I am I'm starting to meet the demons in my head I'm always thinking that they want me dead Wake up in the morning, someone else's bed You know I'm crossed as fuck Filled with regret inside my life Afraid I'll never find my wife I don't know why these girls won't stay Maybe I'll find another play, another day Wait I'm falling apart Wait My mind is charred I'm crossed as fuck I don't know where I am I'm starting to meet the demons in my head I'm always thinking that they want me dead Wake up in the morning, someone else's bed You know I'm crossed as fuck Time is nonexistent, All my vision's blurred I was gone, I was gone Time is nonexistent, All my vision's blurred I was gone, oh I was gone I'm crossed as fuck I don't know where I am I'm starting to meet the demons in my head I'm always thinking that they want me dead Wake up in the morning, someone else's bed I'm crossed as fuck I don't know where I am I'm starting to meet the demons in my head I'm always thinking that they want me dead Wake up in the morning, someone else's bed

The Old Days 03:57
You know it's been a long while Since I felt right Drinking beer People cheer At our rock shows Those beach days Translate into long Friday nights Playing pool That's cool Where'd the time go? My whole world is crumbling I'm feeling endangered And I Know we stopped talking But I've been so exhausted And I Can't see out my window It's covered in ivy Feels like I'm dying You said I'm like your brother In that Pennsylvania basement I'm sad to see you go There's no way to fix this You moved on, just maybe I Miss the old days, sometimes I saw it coming The end was near Not far away How could you say that it was worth it? It feels worse for the ones you left I feel the apathy creeping in, but what comes next? My whole world is crumbling I'm feeling endangered And I Know we stopped talking But I feel so exhausted Can't see out my window It's covered in ivy Feels like I'm dying You said I'm like your brother In that Pennsylvania basement I'm sad to see you go There's no way to fix this You moved on, just maybe I Miss the old days, sometimes I want it back (I want it back) Been a long time coming Since you ever said a word at all I'm sorry that (I'm sorry that) I didn't do more But I Can't see out my window It's covered in ivy Feels like I'm dying You said I'm like your brother In that Pennsylvania basement I'm sad to see you go There's no way to fix this Moved on, just maybe I Miss the old days Can't see out my window It's covered in ivy Feels like I'm dying You said I'm like your brother In that Pennsylvania basement I'm sad to see you go There's no way to fix this You moved on, just maybe I Miss the old days, sometimes

about

Salvation is the "preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss." This is the feeling of Nothing but a Nightmare, as they return with their third studio album. The band, always known for their genre fluidity, is taking the path of alternative pop/punk as they flash back into eras of yesteryear, with a flair of the unique sound they carry today.

The Salvation tells a tale of personal pain, relationship drama, loss, and events that are reminiscent of the band's personal and professional pasts, through a sonic atmosphere that is quite the opposite of those feelings and is a very joyful listen.

The past may not be undone, but Salvation brings us all together again.
