    I STATEMENTS Full Length LP / Mint Green Vynil / Cover Design and Insert by Cristy C Road

    From Nervous Nelly Records: "At long-last, The Homewreckers’s debut LP has arrived. Literally years in the making, this half-hour tour de force distills everything that we all loved about 90s Lookout Records’ snotty, brash pop punk, but with a critical and analytical bent that recontextualizes this familiar lexicon.

    Homewreckers are anchored by renowned visual artist Cristy Road, and her impeccable musical sense speaks in a voice as immediately identifiable as her artwork and writing. All copies on green vinyl with a poster-sized insert."

    Comes with a free Download <3

    Includes unlimited streaming of I STATEMENTS via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
    ships out within 5 days

I cant tell if its your fault that im a wreck, or is it mine? I did everything I could, to never cross the line and im as sick and tired of waiting, as I hate the reality that I could lose you again for bein the real me The real me doesn’t like to hide, cause she was taught to be that way The real me wants to aggressively, laugh at every joke you ever make The real me will see you through, even if she thinks youre slightly wrong The real me would kiss you, if youre staring for too long im done pretending that, I don’t like to be alone when its just you and me, pulling teeth, living the life when no ones home I miss getting to know you inside out, talking strait, talking dirty I miss the days you could say anything And I could be the real me
2.
Im Under something Debilitating Regenerating sympathy for my mistakes Although its only So temporary So please excuse my bleak perspective for tonight Doctor said something About survival But I don’t care complacency’s my only rival And that shits boring And so are you If you dismiss me for my unfortunate world view So hold me tight I apologize That for some reason I don’t love you for tonight Until tommorow When sin and sorrow Cease to exist because im manic and restrained Don’t stabilize me Or patronize me Malfunctioning is human so please humanize me And my offbeat nights My offbeat days My offbeat thoughts of uncontrolable decay 30 bullets to the brain couldn’t justify that Im a bit insane because im sick but I dont care cause so are you ooh ooh ooh ooh

Let go from grip and Ill catch you From the edge of a cascade concrete sky Itll be okay Ill hit the ground too And the shape of our brains will match the blood on our eyes My weak wrists alone can never save you Its like fighting fire with acid rain But sometimes your mouth it got us both through And I discovered the grace of being insane Ive fallen off the edge over sixteen times this year Ive scraped all my agony on every broken bottle of beer Milemarkers are placed on every nervous breakdown And that space in between is really what keeps me around If you pushed me away I couldn’t leave you Cause Ide stand there and watch as you play dead And as we lay there broken in two Youll remember the last thing I said
4.
REMEMBER ALL THOSE TIMES WE SANG OUR FAVORITE SONGS? In the middle of every bar and car and restaurant? to the tune of fuck the world, another goddamn musical, it was easier to try to fight the world back then REMEMBER MONDAY 7AM ON WALL STREET? We thought killing cops with molotovs would set us free? I looked around for people like me, the kind who carried the world on their sleeve, and through the glitter and brass, i swore i saw you looking at me WOAH OH OH OH ITS UNBEARABLE WHEN YOU FIGHT THE ONES YOU LOVE DURING THIS 3RD WORLD WAR AND WHEN CAPITALISM FALLS, ILL STILL BE WAITING FOR YOU AT THE MALL PILLAGING, LOOTING, SHOPLIFTING AND ALL REMEMBER SATURDAY NIGHT, 5 FEET AWAY FROM ME? sirens, static, hoards of people ide rather not see? if it were only way back when, wed get a 10 piece bucket and pretend, that once again, its just us versus them
5.
I see skies of red, Bang your brother’s dead Red roses and pearls on the corpses of young girls Send money for foreign tourism, shit for the dykes and fags Who may be stranded at sea, waving a white flag Fuck the embargo Fuck the president Fuck any closet totalitarians Fuck the criminalization of human nature Fuck borders that don’t exist and societal failures Your assholes cant get along So ill just sit here and complain Cause of you, you clever shits I don’t know when ill see my family again
6.
Hey how ya doin? Im doin fine. Picked up my shit for a long long time Said so long, and Im gone, to reconnection Cause I finally aligned my equilibrium Although, I must insist, everythings still The same way it was this time last year Another December, another one night stand That I could compare to you But like I said, Im free, of the way I loathed Being crazy and totally broke Cause these plants, they work, I sware to you Although they don’t avert the way the crumbling city looks With glass blown luxury For the 1st time I miss all the concrete That gets in the way Of all the trees we saw that day when everything was wrong but totally okay and we could still be friends So yea, its Tuesday again And ive recalled the truth That from my front window the city looks good Clad in the armor of the people who want to continue to rise as beauracracy falls So hey, life’s okay, and I might to pay A bit less to see my family someday Cause a little means a lot this day in age So I try real hard to live Every day like it was the last And every night like its broken glass But I know im not immune to the fact that I might Unravel a cycle of aimless insight And everyone will think im sick Cause im unstable, unable to explain why I want to smoke myself to sleep On Tuesdays like these I wish we could pick up where we left off 24 hr window up the street
7.
Sitting around with no prospects abound Besides the memory of last year, holding you close to the ground Its that eternal struggle, of emotional rubble And trying to find a place to be alone Yeah I might sound crazy, but I must admit My lifes a sea of one night stands that haplessly cease and exist And if I had a choice of where I’de end up tonight It be trying to find a place to be alone While youre the one calling me on the phone TRYING TO FIND A PLACE, TRYING TO FIND A PLACE, TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO BE ALONE Hey I hardly understand these balls and chains And all those methods of control that make emotional strain although sometimes I wonder if you felt the same when we were trying to find a place to be alone And yea I don’t believe that love should mean a chastity belt in the way of the occasional stream of conciousness that says “I love you to death but im trying to find a place to be alone with that new girl I met while I was walking home” TRYING TO FIND A PLACE, TRYING TO FIND A PLACE, TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO BE ALONE TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO BE ALONE TRYIN TO FIND A PLACE ------TO BE ALONE ....but to tell you the truth despite our carnal ways I want to be the one you hold at night, or, at least, every couple of days So what do you say? Do you wanna get lost tonight? And try to find a place to be alone?

Shittyfuck 02:19
Remember when you drove me around for 22 hours And our problems all arised from the people we fucked And you knew I was self loathing and I knew you were insane But you actually admitted it so I gave you my brain And then I gave you my hand and you took me away to a world Where love wasn’t enough As you played my friend you played the isolation game And at 21 I realized you were all I had You lied about me to your people And about your people to me Pushing me through the cracks of my reality Everything you’ve touched since then has turn to shit and I insist On cutting you off Believing you was suicide Burning bridges kept me alive You were an anarchist a chauvinist A saint and a slut two faces were never enough two faces were never enough
9.
I remember about six years ago, I wish I knew you then There was a bunch of waterfronts to pick between S4 and N10 And every waking day I remind myself everything’s okay Cause its the people’s streets were walking on and that cant get taken away... See that thing I do? Round about, around the truth But hey, its hard, to keep an open heart, around the thought of you SO I JUST SIT HERE WONDERIN’ ARE YOU UNDERMINING HOW ITS A LITTLE BIT UNSETTLING THAT WERE BURNING BRIDGES TO THE BEAT OF NOTHING? Yeah, theres something magical about the windows on the concrete But all the sprawl along the East River, looks like shit to me And like a scab, a wounded heart comes back to life in secrecy And maybe Ill find inner peace, through me and only me? Or maybe one day, hey, we’ll reconvene, hash out the truth? Like hell, I swear, it takes a pair, to say Im in love with you
10.
Hey it’s me, again, I thought youde like to know, that this sunset, takes me back, to a couple years ago, when mass corruption meant the same thing, but no one screamed alone, and the end of the world, felt so far away, unlike your voice over the phone…… So let’s let go, of the walls we built, cause baby they’re tumbling down; Turn off the 5, o’clock news, and dance with me like no ones around. Broken mirrors and black cats, don’t stand a chance, to things we can’t change, or reinvent, so here’s to you, to me, and the world that stands in our way.
11.
Fuck the Fundamentalist who made it so hard to say I want you Fuck the Insurrectionist whos revolution forgot to include us Fuck the system that sent me to hell, and the 100 some odd years of being forced to rebel, fuck the minefiled im crawling through FUCK THE WORLD, ide rather just fuck you But youre 375 Miles away And I would fly there if I could, even if just for a day Even if 50 million riot cops stood in my way I wanna take your hand Well start a violent pride parade Fuck this greyhound ticket, its $150 per round trip I wanna deconstruct the shit that’s in my head so ill just curse the government instead Fuck the system that sent me to hell, and the 100 some odd years of being forced to rebel, fuck the minefiled im crawling through FUCK THE WORLD, ide rather just fuck you
12.
Hey man im angry and I know you think its annoying Yeah, I know you hate the way you have to see the places were going The fabrics changing, youre not my hero anymore Yeah I saw benediction when they kicked you out the door I don’t want, to be pacified, I don’t want, to be classified As demure, As incapable, As not alright WE DON’T WANNA LICK YOUR BALLS TONIGHT We wanna own our abilities, our bodies, our rights WE DON’T WANNA LICK YOUR BALLS TONIGHT We wanna dance on your grave and make it out alive We wanna scream Without fighting for what we mean To sound alarming cause being loud Is often categorized as being CRAZY So whats up with the repression of our sexualities? I thought this was that other world where inhibitions seize? So hey don’t demonize me for fucking your bestfriend Were not here to argue, were here to understand that we don’t want, to be pacified, I don’t want, to be classified As demure, As incapable, As not alright WE DON’T WANNA LICK YOUR BALLS TONIGHT We wanna own our abilities, our bodies, our rights WE DON’T WANNA LICK YOUR BALLS TONIGHT We wanna dance on your grave and make it out alive We wanna scream Without fighting for what we mean To sound alarming cause being loud Is often categorized as being CRAAAZZYYY ....I wanna be myself, inside of this place, where im supposedly “free” and supposedly “safe” to enact on organisms inside of myself; free of degredation, free of your help
13.
Every lost love needs a rebound, every now and then Just like everyone wants to forget, the open wounds that manifest When every broken heart falls apart distinctively So lets forget the last few years, take my hand and make believe That the end of the world already happened Friday night No governments, no cheap regrest, just trespassing into the night Into abandoned infrastructures, and those abandoned things we said I better hold on to tommorow, ide rather just hold you instead Everyone needs a bone to pick, a few regrets, a few mistakes Everyone needs a first love, and a one that got away Baby I need my therapist to show me wrong from right Cause as far as im concerned, I should just take you home tonight Cause the end of the world already happened Friday night No governments, no cheap regrest, just trespassing into the night Into abandoned, and those abandoned things we said I better hold on to tommorow (oh oh oh), ide rather just hold you instead …..I stopped smoking weed to remember my dreams, so I could wake up next to you every night. But now this anxiety has got me down on my knees, beggin wont you please, come back to me, tonight?
