"Every single day you feel your nerves a-creeping
They’re on the way, you’d rather be day dreaming
Wouldn’t that be nice but when you’re self-aware you can’t, you’re antsy
Every single night, looking for a reason
Not to run and hide, wish it all was pretend
Wouldn’t that be grand but when you’re self aware it can’t be
You're antsy, you can’t see a way out
You’re unraveling, but it's alright
Grab your thread as you unwind
Take the end and tie it to mine
We'll make something good of a bad time
You can feel the urge to dive into the deep end
But that's absurd when you're no good at swimming
Wouldn’t it be great to stay afloat and never sink, but you're flailing
Take another breath so you can remember
Don't give in yet, don't you dare surrender
More can be done despite the fact you're antsy
You can breathe slowly throughout
You’re unraveling, but it's alright
Grab your thread as you unwind
Take the end and tie it to mine
We'll make something good of a bad time
Unwinding ain't all that bad
We're finding ways to adapt
And finally bridging the gap"

Can't Forget

"Oh some days I’m just fine, wake to watch the sunrise
Other days I can’t fight, battles lost before my eyes
Play it back and rewind, the punishment don’t fit the crime
Vision’s clear in hindsight, what we had was bound to die
I know we’ve talked it all to death but I still can’t catch my breath
It’s been a year but the wounds are still fresh
No one asks me how I’m doing, I’m still digging through the ruins
Of the life we had before you two met
I know you may have but I can’t forget, no I can’t forget
Can’t stand the sight of your face, reminds me why we needed space
I hope you think of me every time you two embrace
I know we’ve talked it all to death but I still can’t catch my breath
It’s been a year but the wounds are still fresh
No one asks me how I’m doing, I’m still digging through the ruins
Of the life we had before you two met
I know you may have but I can’t forget, no I can’t forget
In the dark of the night it all comes rushing back
From the depths of my mind, threatening to attack
You’re still hiding behind the same tired lies
It’s just a fantasy, just a fucking fantasy, but it was real to me
Do you remember me? Do you remember me?
I know we’ve talked it all to death but I still can’t catch my breath
I know you may have but I can’t forget, no I can’t forget"

The Culprit

"Hurt heart, should have stopped this at the start
Lost love, should have nipped it in the bud
Dead dream, now it’s gone and obsolete
And I know anywhere I go, I go alone
How’d I get here? I hate to admit
All the crippling regret
All the childlike foolishness
And I am the culprit, I am, I am
I am the culprit, I am, I am
Hurt heart, trampled by a freight train car
Lost love, ripped off like a ticket stub
Dead dream, now it’s wrapped in TNT
And I know anywhere I go it’s gonna blow
How’d I get here? I hate to admit
All the cause and effect
All the misread intentions
And I am the culprit, I am, I am
I am the culprit, I am, I am
The culprit, the culprit"

Lyrics:
"Around the sun, another year has come and gone
You and I are stuck here standing still again, discontent
We watch our lives through filtered eyes
Honey, at what price?
You can move away, save up for a grand escape
You'll still be you with all your little problems till you solve them
We're so devoted to constant motion, afraid to slow it down
Despite the pretty pictures we're all painting
We're waiting with bated breath to see what's next
The grass seems greener till you've seen it from the other side"

Insult to Injury

"How am I supposed to get anywhere when nobody cares?
How can I ever be well-prepared when nothing is fair?
You kick me when I'm already down
Never help me up off the ground
And later say you were just clowning around
Don't add insult to injury
Please don't belittle me
With insult to injury
Please show some sympathy
Insult to injury, it's killing me
Don't you already know you should be less critical?
Don't be unreasonable
It really isn't that difficult
But you don't even try to sympathize
With anyone you criticize
Don't add insult to injury
Please don't belittle me
With insult to injury
Please show some sympathy
Insult to injury, it's killing me
Why are you always on the attack?
Why do you get off on acting like that?
I need for someone to build me back up
A few words of kindness should be enough
Don't add insult to injury (8x)
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't add insult to injury
It's killing me"

Deer Fellow Austin, Texas
Deer Fellow is an indie folk-pop duo with a “keen sense of song craft.” Based out of Austin, bandmates Matt Salois (guitar, vocals) and Alyssa Kelly (violin, vocals, piano) met at an open mic and were quick to collaborate. Fast forward to present day and coupledom, the two have built a cross-genre sound that “pulls you in right away, stirring romance and broken hearts.” ... more
