Jacob Considering how much talent there is in WA I don't say this lightly, but Vacant Home are the best thing to ever come out of this state. Listen to this album once and nothing will ever be able to compete. Favorite track: Back Bay.

Lament 03:00
I have brought this on myself I feel the déjà vu come creeping in again It's not the first time that I've been here my friend I'll hear the words you speak And I'll see your knees go weak But the message won't get through to me I can't put any effort in I won't receive any return I refuse to help myself The truth is I'll never learn I can't put any effort in I won't receive any return When I'm blinded by the smoke From all my bridges burned My words aren't worth the paper they're printed on I've broken down on the floor I've put holes in walls Lamenting in the fact That I brought this on myself So as I sit here on a winters night all alone Losing feeling in my toes because of the cold Replaying every stupid fucking lie that I told Lamenting in the fact that I I brought this on myself I brought this on myself

Bliss 02:57
Perspective is a funny thing In shaping the path we choose It can stop us in our tracks Or take us to greater heights No love no life I won’t wind up here again No paradise My back off the canvas The cycle is ending I’ll dig myself out Free from self-loathing I’ll shed all my doubts (I'll shed off all my doubts) I can only carry this weight for so fucking long I’ve held this weight for so long This is no way to live I won’t succumb to this No love No happiness No life No paradise I can’t continue like this I won’t put up with this shit It’s time to take some accountability When it’s all said and done And I am placed in my grave I know I won’t have tarnished my name No love No happiness No life No paradise

Inner Peace 02:13
Staring at the bottom of a glass Has become all too familiar This empty void it needs to be filled And I'm happy to oblige The lock clicks as the clock strikes five As I stagger through a dark hallway I reach the foot of the bed To bury myself in the sheets Why the fuck am I doing this again Why the fuck am I so weak Why the fuck am I doing this Don't let it rise Keep it locked inside More blurry nights and bloodshot eyes I won't find inner peace tonight I won't find inner peace tonight

Shiver 03:40
The last I time I saw your face I looked into your eyes I know that you were trying but you failed to recognise Your own flesh and own blood that stood right by your side This disease has ravaged you and your mind it couldn't thrive Some days I'm prone to fuck up Some days I don't feel fine But your blood pumps through my veins So I know I'll be alright When things got tough you stood tall Never lost your shine You are a part of me You are the shiver down my spine Sleeping on the floor When I got the call I heard a voice tell me That you had left this earth You watched me grow up I watched you grow old Your mind tried to keep up But it had failed you Wither away I will see you again someday I sat and watched as the clouds came rolling in Armed with my thoughts a notepad and a pen I struggled to find the words to say I just hoped that you were proud of me You are the shiver down my spine Inked on my skin and etched in my mind Oh weary rose wither away I will see you again some day Weary rose wither away I will see you again some day

Back Bay 02:46
My feet haven't failed me yet Like they have for many others Content with standing still Not willing to move forward It's hard to wake up to the same thing Knowing there's so much more To find, to see, to feel, to love, to experience I want to see you roam through the maple leaves I want to see that summer sun beat down on your neck I wanna see you roll through the winter snow I want it all and I want you My feet haven't failed me yet Like they have for many others I'm counting down the days 'til I step foot off that plane Back Bay, When I see her again I'll be there to stay Back Bay Her voice is calling out my name Back Bay, When I see her again Back Bay, I'll be there to stay I am running, I am running to find Fulfilment in this life And I know that it's time That I find peace inside I feel the weight lift off of me I set my sights over the seas Look in her eyes and hear her say Meet me at Back Bay Back Bay, so far away When I see her again I'll be there to stay

Our lives consist of cycles When one ends we transition into another until we cease to exist We find strength in the positive ones We are productive, ambitious and nurturing Weakness consumes us in the negative ones We are apathetic, self destructive and uncompromising These cycles dictate who are are and dictate who we become As we fluctuate between the negative and the positive, we must make a choice Will I continue down the same path and accept the situation I find myself in Or will I choose to make a change and break the cycle Reflect, respond Reflect, respond Change paths Move on

Heirloom 03:58
The decline is getting steeper The bottle is looking better Compounded by all the pressure I sit here, I wonder Is this how it's meant to be? Is this how it's meant to be? All of the things that you told me Fly around in my head It gets easier they tell me I can't see that happening The doubt creeps in Solemn and cold One though burns in my mind Will I even grow old? Will I even grow old? Will the frail bark on the family tree Be stripping away and plague me? Will the chemicals realign themselves And turn me into a shell of my former self? I know that I need to heal my self I will heal my self The only way I know how Oh I know I'll heal myself I need to mend And I'll numb the pain again The only way I know how And I'll numb the pain again And I just need this pain to end Although I feel the shiver run down my spine, your absence struck me harder than I thought it ever would The only way that I deal The only way I cope Is when I feel this liquor Burn down my fucking throat You want me to carry on To go out and make you proud But the honest answer is I don't know how
