some people never get sick of the city that they live in but i've spilt my guts too much on these streets to feel forgiving well, i think it's time to leave and stop fearing feeling free. now my life's long distance lovers and faraway friends at least i'll always have a floor for a bed in the end. but if you could stay with me then i might get more sleep i know i'm never where i want, it seems no matter where i am it could always be somewhere where i'd maybe feel more like me and less like slaughtered meat left to hang for weeks could be belfast or glasgow, sheffield or leeds. wrapped in yr arms, or with friends i need to make me feel whole but in the end i think i'd be better left by the side of the road. i'm my own worst enemy but i wouldn't wish this on myself. well for what it's worth i wouldn't wish this on anyone else. this city is a graveyard, terraced houses loom like tombstones that in the hazy light of evening seem like fangs if the city wants to eat me, it can go ahead and try but i hope that it chokes on my bones.

about

Amateur Historians Belfast, UK

Three people, zero superpowers.

We are Chris Curry, Luke Casey, and Gerard McCorry and we write stupidly heart on sleeve emo songs shrouded in indie-pop chord progressions.

Amateur Historians started in early 2011 & despite spending most of the year and a half we've been together on different land masses, we've managed to remain a band that exist, yes.
