A Boy My Age 01:47
9 times out of 10 I hate my best friend He acts like he’s been on Mars 4 times out of 5 I pinch him and he cries I flinch and that’s when I…stop A boy my age should not be friends with A boy my age, junior high school, Russell Sage will be a better place He called my phone My mom said I’m not home Don’t know when I’ll be home…again It isn’t fun to lie But I’d rather die Than see his stupid face…again And I’d rather feel lonely than nervous and threatened I’d rather be quiet Than say something I’ll regret And if he writes me an apology note I just might have to stab him in the throat

You say, “You’ll feel better” but You don’t know what you’re talking about and You say, “I know better” but You don’t know what you’re talking about and You say “Don’t forget me” but You don’t know what you’re talking about and You say “you can hate me” but You don’t know what you’re talking about You say, “You have to stop crying” but You don’t know what you’re talking about and You say, “it’s not worth trying” but You don’t know what you’re talking about and You say, “I’m an asshole” but You don’t know what you’re talking about and You say, “I’m a hassle” but You don’t know what you’re talking about Phone bill’s gonna be a lot so We should probably just hang up, no, I can’t stand to let you go I close my eyes and kiss the phone You say, “don’t kiss the phone” but You don’t know what you’re talking about and You say, “You’re not alone” but You don’t know what you’re talking about and You say “It takes time,” well Let’s see what you’re talking about 1 2 3 4 5 You don’t know what you’re talking about

Pen to paper No eraser Breathing in Sighing out Sarah made a serenade For a boy in seventh grade Hid it crumpled in her fist Acted like it didn’t exist Heart-shaped Fruit Roll-Up Eaten Right up Sarah made a serenade For a boy in seventh grade Hid it crumpled in her fist Acted like it didn’t exist Sarah sang a song to him To herself inside her dream Closed her eyes and tapped her feet It had such a catchy beat Monday She’ll say Something or Nothing

I figure'd maybe you might know Don’t be an idiot You know she loves you Don’t be an idiot Don’t miss this show Don’t be an idiot You know she loves you a lot Don’t be an idiot It's almost on I’m turning the volume up I’m turning the volume up What the hell is wrong with me?

And I'm Gone 02:03
I close my eyes and I’m gone I’m afraid for a long time And when I get afraid I turn into an asshole You wouldn’t want to know The dark, it keeps me gone I’m afraid for a long time And when I’m in the dark I sometimes punch the air You wouldn’t want to be there I fall asleep and I’m gone I’m afraid for a long time And when I’m fast asleep I’m in a different world Where things are easier Where things are scarier Where I can create Where I can destroy You wouldn’t want to join me

My block is shakin’ around Ringed out and upside down Everyone but me falls out Halfway through that last song I felt so bad and that’s cause I can’t be trusted When I was 9, and then when I was 15 And then I was 18, and then I was 19 And then… All I ever wanted was a chance Chance to get out of here All I know comes through the phone All I own is this moan All I know is my home That’s the doorknob that I hate That’s the floor that hurts my feet When it’s cold, when it’s cold When it's dusty and cold Back in the day when things wouldn’t go my way I’d temporarily stay inside my room all day and well All I ever wanted was a chance Chance to get out of here My block is drying out Wrinkled up, flattened down Everyone but me feels proud It's bigger than you and it's bigger than me And it's bigger than you and it's bigger than me and And it's bigger than you and it's bigger than me And it's bigger than it's bigger than it's bigger than it's big and well That’s what they say when you can’t speak up for yourself

Cellar 01:17
Made food In my Cellar Ate food In my Cellar I am under everything I am under skies and trees I am under feet and people I am under ground and gravel I am under air and planes I am under pipes and drains I am under fur and feathers I am under the weather

I can’t say anything too complex I get stares I want to not seem so obsessed But I care. I care about you I’m dismayed, I’ve misplaced What you gave me that day Is it gone? What have I done? Has it run away? I care about you I care about you If I face the wall Will you say you love me? If I cover my ears Will you say you love me? I can’t hold you hard enough Cause you squeak I can’t carry you far enough Cause I’m weak I care about you I care about you I care about you
10.
So what if I write a message down? So what if I can’t say it out loud? I express myself in the usual way I express myself in the usual way So what if I wait a day or two? Not like I’m in charge of when I get to see you I express myself in the usual way I express myself in the usual way I’m running out I’m running out So what if I'm feeling sorry? Not like you can get it out of me I express myself in the usual way I express myself in the usual way I distress myself in the usual way I distress myself in the usual way
11.
Now that all of you've seen that You can label it a fact And all those times when you attacked You can take it all back Cause everyone believes me They don't just think I'm funny They see what I've been saying They know I'm not fabricating And they will be invading And I'll be celebrating Though I can't explain it I'd be mighty glad to claim it And if this town is blasted At least no one will be sarcastic Three dots in the sky Now we know why They breeze on by They leave me behind It's extra windy tonight The clouds are taking turns being bright Like all of you I'm lined up to die No one's ever on my side

Dust Town 03:04
All these empty houses All these empty streets An abandoned town, a deserted bar With no chicks to meet All this filthy air Torn up magazines A side of fries, stepped on and kicked By a thousand pairs of feet. Ain’t nobody on the TV Ain’t no one in the subway Ain’t no voices answering any phones I thought I’d like it this way That look in your eyes On the day you fled No one was better at predicting the worst And so you left And now I’m gonna sing One big giant cloud Covers this whole town Well it’s my cloud, and we’re sticking around Casting shadows to the ground Just me and the flies Hanging around these parts I don’t know why but I’d rather die Than be here when it gets dark. I don’t know why but I’d rather die Than be here when it gets dark.

about

The debut album from Trouble's Afoot, a 3-piece rock group from New York City, has been long in the works but has finally arrived! Featuring twelve short songs touching on a variety of subjects, including junior high school, television, friendships, relationships, aliens invading, and the apocalypse!

While firmly in the pop/rock genre, the album zigs and zags from aggressive to sweet to epic to folksy, all within 24 minutes. The album was recorded in various studios and various homes, and even includes recordings from over 15 years ago!
