about

I was on tour with Perfect Future when my sister was in the car accident. While on tour, I did an awful job keeping in touch with anyone back home. Days would fly by and I would keep telling myself tomorrow I'll let my friends and family know how I am. Worse still, was that I rarely answered my phone because I rarely had a moment alone, and I didn't want to put my band mates through having to hear me talk to people while in the van or at someones house. So on the night when my sister was in the car wreck, my brother called me and I ignored the phone call cause I was playing video games. When I checked my voicemail, I did call back... but I was still playing the game while I asked whether my sister was alive or not. I'll never be able to forgive myself for that.

lyrics

Brother, can you be bothered? It's been at least a month since you called home. Another town passes by in a blur of all night drives and basement shows. Today you found a place to stay with an artist that hasn't drawn in weeks. After six hours of video games your phone rings... it's your brother... you don't answer. Brendan, check your messages. There's been a car wreck, your sister may be dead. When you finally call back are you really going to sit there with that shit eating grin, half-heartedly listening, while still playing the same Goddamn game that you started this morning? Is Kimberly's life not worthy of pausing a game? It was only a game, and I'm so ashamed. It was only a game.
