Friends of Convenience is about lot of "fake" friends, but in particular, a shitty narcissistic friend that, despite how much I loathed him, kept weaseling his way into my fucking life. my mom loved him (probably identified with those narcissistic qualities), my school put us in the same room every M-F for four fucking years so i pretty much sat there silently with resentment waiting for high school to end so i could go no contact and move on.
lyrics
you'll make changes and lose best friends to high school ending once & 4evr. the ties that aren't that hard to sever are ones born out of a simple convenience, because it is so awful to sit there in silence even if you have nothing to say that's really important. fuck the people who made you uncomfortable, it's really okay that you aren't sociable. things can be better inside your skin if you keep reminding yourself that in the end, nothing matters as long as your happy. even if your best friend deserves a slap, he is not as aware of the problem as I so he lives out his 24 hours a day wondering why you don't feel going like to the skate park or can only talk about music or art.
no you can't relate to a thing that they say cause you've already booked up the rest of your days with a bit of self hatred and lots of deciding whether or not tonight is when you're dying make a note of the differing taste take a snapchat of your own sad face and thank the gods you're getting out of this place where no one will ever ask you to do anything

me again, i'm just tired ha ha ha ha
Heccra is one of the most interesting artists in emo today, and his fresh take on the genre, blending elements of post-hardcore, prog/metal into it, as well as cool and weird production makes me smile aches
These guys are a huge influence on me, stylistically. Great angry vocals (shared throughout the band) enough twinkles to light the night sky, & some of the catchiest hooks ever. WATCH MY BODY DIEEEEEE aches
