Some Anon I always found Francis Vace's work to be very evocative but this album takes in to another level, practically assaulting you with the emotions that it tries to convey. Favorite track: Eternal.
Bubsy Canyon

Bubsy Canyon Really impressive piece of punk infused with melancholic emotion that really brings about a profound sense of vision and artistic maturity within Vace's work. Even for those unfamiliar with their earlier releases, this serves as an excellent example of their artistic versatility. If you like pop punk or even just generally are interested in what the fandom has been up to all these years later, I think this really deserves a spin. Wonderful for rainy days. Favorite track: Oats Pt. II.

Eternal 03:55
I’m not sure, I’m not sure if everything will be okay I just, I just, have to make it through today, It’s only, it’s only, a rough patch to get through, Another, just another, even if it feels brand new Have I felt this way before? I think I’ve felt this way before, Am I pulling at the thread? I think I’m pulling at the thread inside my head Forever means nothing to me, without you here, But nothing is forever, except the things we fear, Forever is nothing you see, next to the length I’d wait, But nothing is forever, or so they speculate I’m okay, I’m okay even if it feels like I’m not, I’ll pretend, I’ll pretend that nothing’s going wrong, I’m okay, not okay, it’s all the same in the end, Forever, forever, is waiting just around the bend Have I felt this way before? I think I’ve felt this way before, Am I pulling at the thread? I think I’m pulling at the thread inside my head Forever means nothing to me, without you here, But nothing is forever, except the things we fear, Forever is nothing you see, next to the length I’d wait, But nothing is forever, or so they say Forever is just what you remember, Forever is just what you remember, Forever is just what you remember, Forever is just what you remember

Uninvited 02:50
The big night is coming soon I wonder if they’ll stare, I wonder who will be there too, But that’s only if I get there Your invitation’s in the mail, that’s what they tried to say, And I’m not sure if I believe them, Theory tried to speak to no avail, I can’t listen to them bray, And I can’t believe that they’d do this again Another night in the tower, And I can hear it from here, Another night another hour, Just try to block out the cheers Your invitation’s in the mail, that’s what they tried to say, And I’m not sure if I believe them, Theory tried to speak to no avail, I can’t listen to them bray, And I can’t believe that they’d do this again

I’m not supposed to feel this way, no Supposed to stay straight and narrow Supposed to be strong and brave, But the world’s so big and scary And I think it’s against me Think it’s tryna test me Find it so depressing, it’s so messy But on the surface I just gotta stay clean, no But when I’m with you I don’t care Honey, let's go there Show me all that we could be, if we were free If I said I loved you and blew my cover I’d lose it all So I just hide it, hide it in the background Do my best to hold it under Don’t wanna blow the world asunder Keep it underneath my skin But I’m bursting when you’re near me And oh, I wanna tell you But I don’t wanna scare you And if you don’t believe me, if you leave me… I don’t know what I’d do When I’m with you I can’t Hold back how I feel Why should I hide from you...? When I’m with you I don’t care Honey, let’s go there Show me all that we could be, if we were free I’m done hiding from the truth, hiding it from you I'm breaking my walls down Coming out of the background

Oats Pt. II 03:23
I’m staring at the ceiling next to a dip in the mattress in the shape of you Forever stealing glances at the doorway you used to come home through And sometimes I still set the table for two I talk to myself cause there’s no one else to talk to I’ve been spending my nights on the floor I even miss how you snore I’m in a boat without oars I can’t eat oats anymore I fuckin miss you and the way that we were I was a fucking bitch, and oh so many other words To forgive is not to be forgiven I fucking love you, if you would just listen I’ve been spending my nights on the floor I even miss how you snore I’m in a boat without oars I can’t eat oats anymore Lyra, why did you eat my oats, That’s the part the really gets my goats, Lyra, why did you eat my oats, Part toothache, and part hoarse swollen throats I’ve been spending my nights on the floor I even miss how you snore I’m in a boat without oars I can’t eat oats anymore

Outside 02:42
Alone with my thoughts, alone with my voice, The sound of it echoing back from the void, Alone through these nights, alone though these days, Despite that I can I’ve got nothing to say, Pressure building up, I can’t keep it in, There is no difference, without and within, Pressure building up, I can’t let it out, It doesn’t help to shout it out loud, What’s the point of even having a voice, if there’s no one to hear it now, And what’s the point of even having a choice, it’s all the same in the end somehow, Someday and somehow, i’ll break down these lies you’re living, But until then, I’ll just be here, outside looking in. The view from the top, is not what it seems, The days start to blur, and so do the dreams, The view from outside, the threshold I crossed, Does what I’ve gained outweigh what I’ve lost? Was that a thought? Did I say it out loud? There is no difference, within and without, I could talk all day, til the sky turns black, But what is the point if nothing is said back? What’s the point of even having a voice, if there’s no one to hear it now, And what’s the point of even having a choice, it’s all the same in the end somehow, Someday and somehow, i’ll break through these wall you live in, But until then, I’ll just be here, outside looking in.

If I was a scientist, I’d design you a world With cherry trees and an ocean view, and I’d be your girl If I was an architect, I’d build you a tower So we can view the world from the very top, and talk for hours and hours But I’m no scientist And I’m no genius I’m just another victim of heartache I’m just another victim of heartache If I was an artist, I’d paint you a landscape A little reserve with flowers lined up on the curb, and a massive lake If I was an Astronaut I’d fly us both to space, so we could hide away and I could run my lips, across your face But I’m no scientist And I’m no genius I’m just another victim of heartache I’m just another victim of heartache I’m just another victim of heartache I’d much rather live in my world of make believe my dear I’m just another victim of heartache I’d much rather live in my world of make believe my dear

Trying to ignore the feeling, in my chest, and in my head I’ll close my eyes and i’ll pretend, that i don’t, feel it spread, My hands are shaking like a leaf, and they are, drenched in sweat, Temporary fucking relief, is all that i, can ever get Making friends with the background hum, Learning to live with the whine, Odds and ends that i wish weren’t numb, Yearning to finally feel fine Making friends, With the background hum, Not to end, Maybe overcome Trying to ignore the static, that has crept, into my hands, Desperate not to give it the, attention, that it demands, Everywhere is feeling warm, except, not my toes, It’s impossible to name, but i feel it, in my bones Making friends with the background hum, Learning to live with the whine, Odds and ends that i wish weren’t numb, Yearning to finally feel fine Making friends, With the background hum, Not to end, Maybe overcome Making friends, With the background hum, Not to end, Maybe overcome

The world ended when you went Away, you got to go, I had to Stay, life goes on just Like every night ends with the Morning sun We got to see it all get better The work of our lives made it matter Every day beside you felt like home Now when I go - I go alone Rainbows don’t light up the sky, unless you let it rain But I can’t help why, must I feel this pain? Sometimes I cannot think of the better things Sometimes I think about way back when Sometimes I can’t forget I gotta let you go Sometimes I wish I could see you again Those were the best days, our formative years, finding our way, overcoming fears Not always adventure or something new Just a reminder of what makes a friendship true With time comes wisdom and growing through pain earned by losing what keeps us sane You helped me to learn and to see it all through then came the end, but only just for you Rainbows don’t light up the sky, unless you let it rain But I can’t help why, must I feel this pain? Manticores and dragon fights Fashion shows and starry nights Reading books by candlelight Chocolate rain, the punch was spiked Magic riddles, discords maze teaching kids, Fluttergaze Sleepovers on rainy days Pinkies crazy party ways Wing-ed alicornication Mom and dad's balloon vacation Spreading love across the nation Forgiveness needs no explanation Fighting evil, three-at a time Tartarus for pony crimes Singing songs, drop of a dime Save the world, we didn't mind Sometimes I cannot think of the better things Sometimes I think about way back when Sometimes I can’t forget I gotta let you go Sometimes I wish I could see you again For now I'll smile smile when I think of you For now I'll take a breath and just let it be For now I think that I will keep moving on Always I know you're here with me Smile smile thinking of you Deep breath, Sonic rainboom Parasprite infestation Something new generation Moving on, what you know New lives and newer shows Looking back, how you glow Magic of friendship

Lately I’ve been going, wherever the wind blows, But it’s not like I have a say And I’ve been watching the world, turn slowly under my nose, As I drift off further away, Wild flowers any which way, wheat and corn in neat rows. A fringe of beaches along the sea, I’ve been watching horses, gallop over meadows, But they’re not looking out for me, They’re not looking out for me, I’m on an Earth Pony Balloon Escape Pack ride. I’m just an earth pony, alone here in the sky. Watching the world pass by. A bridge has crumbled away, a tree’s fallen in its place, Not that it matters up here, I’ve left behind my old life, I live now at a new pace, Up in skies sunny and clear. Sunny and clear. I’m on an Earth Pony Balloon Escape Pack ride. I’m just an earth pony, alone here in the sky. Watching the world pass by I wonder what has changed, I can’t help but think, While I’ve been away, Surely nothing big I’m on an Earth Pony Balloon Escape Pack ride. I’m just an earth pony, alone here in the sky. I’m on an Earth Pony Balloon Escape Pack ride. I’m just an earth pony, alone here in the sky. Watching the world pass by
