lyrics
and i don’t want to dream, drift away in my sleep, or grow old like everyone else. i want to go down in flames. i don’t want to die on my knees or on the ground. i would give up this life just to go another round. to say that, at least, i tried. but i know that’s not my fate—i’m destined to fall. i’m destined to be buried young. there will be things that words can never explain. just don’t waste your time worrying about me. and it may be selfish to close my eyes and pray that one day i’ll drift away in my sleep. but i’ve fought tooth and nail for a life i can’t have—for a love i just can’t seem to reach. so i bid you farewell with a funeral hymn, and i hope one day you accept the pain that i’ve endured, like a thorn in my side with no one to remove it. there will be things that words can never explain. just don’t waste your lives worrying about me. don’t worry about me.

Nervous Young Man
by Car Seat HeadrestFrom the first moment I heard Will Toledo's washed-out screams on Boxing Day, I knew he'd "make it". Here we are, 2 years later and he's on Matador records. Sometimes, the world rewards talent.
