Get Well 02:50
Sometimes at night, I leave this reality. Still awake with eyes closed, in and out of dreams. Lights trailing out my window, the sky swallows my house hollowing out the inside, just let my body die and evaporate while carried in the rain. This perfect blue sky is my reality but when I focus, I try to see you can't follow me into my grave. Don't let me be the man I hate, the one that left when I was eight. I see your face in the clouds but only when it rains. Lights trailing out my window, the sky swallows my house hollowing out the inside, just let my body die and evaporate while carried in the rain.

Falling Up 03:24
Let's take a piece of ourselves and throw it to the wind. I'm watching you through your window and I know that it's not right, god please, please tell me that I'm wrong, please tell me when I'm wrong. These lights are taking me down, I'm falling out just to see myself falling down. I know that I can't see you because you're scared of letting yourself down and falling out. Lost touch with myself but I had to lose touch with you and everything was falling apart. It's hard to see what I'd done, god please, please help me see those things that block me from you. These lights are taking me down, I'm falling out just to see myself falling down. I know that I can't see you because you're scared of letting yourself down and falling out. Setting myself up every time, it's just what I do. It's just what I do.

Wander 02:45
You have to hold on to those memories as a kid casting your first stone in the lake behind your summer home. When the time falls away, slowly past your face and your heart starts to beat on at a normal peace. You let it fade away and pretend it never came, the pictures on my wall are still screaming your name. Your mind is thoughtless and serene, you begin to miss it when it leaves. You have to hold on to those memories as a kid casting your first stone in the lake behind your summer home.

Everything I was used to dwelling on just makes me feel dead, I was coming apart in my head. We were always falling apart but I never could admit it, much less stay committed. I can't explain when those letters were never sent, maybe we were never meant. This condition is a case where I was so naive and scared to be anything but me. This will never escape me completely and that is all that you can see, it plays over and over, we're over, it's over. I wrote this down a thousand times for you but it never made sense and only some of it was true. You left me as the time was fleeing beneath me, these thoughts are fleeting and this will never escape me completely. This condition is a case where I was so naive and scared to be anything but me. This will never escape me completely and that is all that you can see, it plays over and over, we're over, it's over. We were always falling apart but I never could admit it.

Wonder 03:40
One autumn night, we were walking down the street when the leaves were falling down. We came to a place where the sidewalk was white with moonlight and no trees to block the stars. There was a stir among the sky and the blocks of the sidewalk began to form a ladder to you. My heart beat faster and I drew her up closer to my chest, stuck in her eyes, I said, "Tomorrow, we'll run faster and stretch our arms out farther". She smiled and I pulled her closer, this time to my face. So we beat on, against the current. There was a stir among the sky and the blocks of the sidewalk began to form a ladder to you.

I can't stand the sight of myself anymore but when I stop thinking about these things I've done, I realize I've made it away, I made it so far away. All I hear is the movement inside of my head to the sound of your open heart and an open mind, if I could find a shred of hope that's left in these bones, well I'd trade that for anything. I wish I cared who's watching, it doesn't matter what I want, you know I'm never right. I hope this spirit's watching over me tonight because I'm sick of feeling sorry for myself. So when the roof caves and I get sucked up into space, I'll be better off, you'll be better off without me. All I hear is the movement inside of my head to the sound of your open heart and an open mind, if I could find a shred of hope that's left in these bones, well I'd trade that for anything. When can I be all that you want? Because you're all I've got. So try and stop me from digging my grave before I hit the bottom.

Lights out and we fall, our hands clasp together tightly, stuck forever lightly. Clouds fade away, moving with such grace, flowing like water slipping through your fingers. When you watch the rain, you realize nothing stays the same, no matter what they say. There's nothing left in your head and everything you're used to has set into your bones. Clouds fade away, moving with such grace, flowing like water slipping through your fingers. When you watch the rain, you realize nothing stays the same, no matter what they say. When you're alone and nothing feels like home, it's hard to keep your place wherever you go.

Second Year is the debut LP from Joseph Lacy's project, The Record Play. Consisting of 9 tracks, the album is a very cohesive collection of songs about the past 2 years of Lacy's life. In addition to the beautiful acoustic sound, the tracks also include layers of poppy drums, and washed-out electric guitar melodies. With Lacy's voice being very distinct and catchy from previous acts such as Transit and The Weeds, he surely delivers these 9 tracks at his best. This is a perfect release for the summer, and for listeners who enjoy Owen, The Early November, and Turnover.
