agedkindling I can't stop singing these songs. The perfect casserole of math rock, emo, and a dash of Horse the Band.
Prof Caff is the antidote to all of life's venom. Favorite track: That's A Chunky.

She said she needs space As I watched her tie her hair back I’m feeling the same And for one brief moment I found myself caring again When the world stops spinning I'm haunted by these 24 frames Moment I sold that ghost, au revoir to what could have been And now you know You know I ain't that man at all As these leaves change color remember that everything fades And now you know You know I ain't that man at all Hating All the things I used to ignore Patching The crumbling damn of your age Prepare yourself for the flood Seeing I’m barreling out of control Failing With the clock of your life winding down A body’s a failing thing When the world stops spinning I’ll be here staring off again Feeding your cat, staring at photos, remembering I ended it And now you know You know I ain't that man at all And for this one brief moment I knew that I’d be ok And now you know You know I ain't that man at all

Hold your breath The panic soon sets in Bark demands Like anyone’s listening The lines been drawn out Show your teeth as your claws dig in I got your world in my hand My heart races And the sun burns on my back again With all eyes forward Your battle cry cuts Across this wasteland of a lawn That wet nose These high hopes A step back And time froze As my arm moves back to throw Full speed in motion You jump and your heart stands still Steadfast devotion That pup with the iron will Your stare could cut glass Triumphantly standing I beckon you back So we start again So we start again When your jaws unclenched I grant you amnesty And the world rolls back to my feet Ennobled mutt I hold so dear to me I couldn't do this alone One more and lets go OH! Buddy! Buddy! Buddy! OH! OH! Full speed in motion You jump and your heart stands still Steadfast devotion That pup with the iron will Full speed in motion You jump and your heart stands still Steadfast devotion That pup with the iron will

I'm gonna write a book Full of all the mistakes I've made My personal Everest Amidst a barren landscape It's hard to put a title on Such a decaying tomb A lexicon of honesty As you hunt through all these sun bleached bones I'm just trying to let you in I'm just trying to let you in Through a decade of scars and a war torn heart I can't let you in I'm gonna dig a ditch Fill it with my hopes and dreams Top it off with gasoline Light a match and start the eulogy As I stare across this funeral pyre Into an endless cloud of smoke This feeling rushes over me That these cinders now have become home I'm just trying to let you in I'm just trying to let you in We're all islands On an uncharted boundless map As years fade down I don't long for the coast Don't complicate Take two steps back Just focus on breathing Stop these knuckles from shaking And in the end When you draw your final breath These dollars and cents The shit you collect all just slowly turns to dirt Don't complicate Take two steps back Just focus on breathing Stop these knuckles from shaking I'm just trying to let you in We're all islands I'm just trying to let you in We're all islands I'm just trying to let you in  We're all islands As this fire smolders down to ashes I think Was it worth my time dwelling on trivial things Completely compulsive, immensely destructive Now I know it won't amount to nothing at all

The Spinz 03:51
Woke up dizzy and nervous I think I bit through my tongue again As the blood stains the sink Down the hall I hear voices Apparition of an argument Abbey, where did you go? Is this the way my world ends? And as of late It's getting harder and harder to breathe And I can't think straight enough To see the wall in front of me What instigates Worth getting out of bed Spending all this time Fighting the voice inside your head Seems like endless appointments Revolving door of E.R. trips Watch my bank account burn Disappointing engagements Your white cell counts on the rise Betrayed by my own blood Is this the way my world ends? And as of late It's getting harder and harder to breathe And I can't think straight enough To see the wall in front of me What instigates Any sense of self When all that's left Is just the shell that you've become Been writing down All of these questions I got for you To defame this gospel you hail as truth I'm down and out Finally seeing the liars now This light burns out Under the crashing wave This heart beat fails As I'm swept out to sea This light burns out Under the crashing wave This heart beat fails As I'm swept out to sea As of late It's getting harder and harder to breathe I've been writing down All of these questions

Dope Shades 04:46
She kept roses by the door In a house I can’t breath in no more Old broken stove and a shattered coffee cup That note I just straight up forgot I’ve been getting stable You’ve been paying rent Don't think we’re able to come back from this They finally shut all the lights off And I've been off my med's for nearly a month It’s so cold Burning books again to try and stay warm And chasing ghosts As the walls cave in And I’ve been waiting Oh, so many nights Just to wake with my head on my phone And I’ve been thinking Something isn't right Waking up in this house all alone This ain’t a nightmare this was a fight The one that shattered all you know And I’ve been praying I got it right Cause I'm the worst at letting go It’s so cold Digging through dusty boxes and tattered photos And taking note Of all the things I never knew And I’ve been waiting Oh, so many nights Just to wake with my head on my phone And I’ve been thinking Something isn't right Waking up in this house all alone This ain’t a nightmare this was a fight The one that shattered all you know And I’ve been praying I got it right Cause I'm the worst at letting go And I’ve been waiting Oh, so many nights Just to wake with my head on my phone And I’ve been thinking Something isn't right Waking up in this house all alone This ain’t a nightmare this was a fight The one that shattered all you know And I’ve been praying I got it right Cause I'm the worst at letting go Cause I’ve been waiting Oh, so many nights Just to wake with my head on my phone And I’ve been thinking Something isn't right Waking up in this house all alone

Well I bet When they catch you and cut you open Spill your life on the dock A mound of gold and broken hearts Will come barreling out on the floorboards washing up on shore Like Golden trash Of the people that you were before And I know This will be a rude awakening Letting people see The monster dwelling underneath Well your Instagram perfect, self centered portraits Never show the truth As long as you keep stacking views This isn't easy to write about Watch your heart sink as these words fire out my mouth If there's one thing for sure It’s that you’ve said these lines before The only difference Is I don't care anymore La didi da, didi da... Well I watched As the waves took their toll on you It ain't an easy life Getting punch drunk with the tide But then you chose to stay, watched him die a bit everyday You learned to lie to survive This wasn't easy to write about I questioned my own worth as these words fired out my mouth If there's one thing that’s true Is it ain't easy being you The only difference Is I don't care anymore La didi da, didi da... We got old and the fire died And all these ghosts won’t keep you warm at night Tossing in bed, wracking your head, too scared To admit you're all alone La didi da, didi da...

Astronaut 03:59
I wanna be a thousand Miles above the sea So I can finally think And make some sense of it I wanna live to a million See all of History Cause then I’ll finally speak Cause I’ll know everything Wouldn’t that be swell Kinda sounds like hell I’m just sick Of hearing your voice in my dreams Making a scene And excuses for everything You were the brightest light One that could burn yet guide It took a lifetime to handle this And only seconds to say goodbye Say goodbye I fight to open the front door And let the daylight in Waging war with my self doubt In hopes to god I win Cause everyday I hesitate to open up my head When all these thoughts come rushing out I’m ready for the end of it I guess I'm ready for the end of this I’m just sick Of hearing your voice in my dreams Making a scene And excuses for everything Everyday I hesitate to let the daylight in Everyday I hesitate to let the daylight in It’s so hard, it's so hard to move on

Your parting words Echo through every bone My head in hands Walk off into the brush to die alone Years go by and I'm still here Rusted up and battered gears Though this wheel still spins Consistency comes at a cost Scars reflect the things you've lost All along the way Conflicting times She finds herself counting blessings over and over at night Totals: one, two, three, four I ain't felt right In nearly a decade's worth of lies and sedatives Lost all faith All initiatives g(one,) two, three, four Try to make amends With all of the families Broken and content To watch it all fade Years go by and I'm still here Rusted up and battered gears Though this wheel still spins Consistency comes at a cost Scars reflect the things you've lost All along the way Heard a towering storm Will come sweeping through in the morning Wash up the bones of the dead Make them the displaced and forgotten Total immersion Complete delusion Save the sinking mast Or leave the hull cracked

Your track mark arms and dead sunken eyes You promised me you would just stay home tonight But when those headlights came crashing through I knew that there's no way I'm leaving without a fight Spent all this time Abusing yourself to leave your body behind And when the world starts burning You turn to the needle for a lifeline You took her advice You kept that demon at bay for a while Compulsion melted with the snow But then your fall came Shorter days make longer nights And he's finding work for both your idle hands Spent all this time Abusing yourself to leave your body behind And when the world starts burning You turn to the needle for a lifeline Breathe Just breathe You've shouldered this weight for far too long And you shouldn't have to Leave Just leave You're caught in the eye of the storm And I stayed out Until the morning light Just to bring you your bag And to say my last goodbye Turned back on the ride home Left nothing that you would regret Spending every dime that you had Just to get to where you can forget Turned back on the ride home Left nothing that you would regret Spending every dime that you had Just to get to where you can forget Turned back on the ride home Left nothing that you would regret Spending every dime that you had Just to get to where you can forget

Mr. Sleep 04:59
I’ve been here For what you call eternity Taking shape Into something more comforting Rest a little easier Worry or not I'll be there Shorter than you think Swift mistake, a slow demise Bitter end, the sweetest eyes Finally letting go I stand over your bed While this shadow wraps around your neck Truth be told This one feels different I’m finding it hard To step into the swing of this For one quick second I thought That I might still have a heart But that's not why I come here That's not why they call Day after day I seem to be breaking down And after all this time Should be easier to cope with Rest a little easier Worry or not I'll be there Waiting in the wings A broken heart, a fatal lie The truth of where your soul resides Finally time to go While I stand over your bed As these hands wrap around your neck Truth be told This one feels different I’m finding it hard To step into the swing of this For one quick second I thought That I might still have a heart But that's not why I come here That's not why they call I’ve been here For all of antiquity Taking shape Into the last thing you’ll Ever See.

about

We've endured a lot of changes since the conception of this band. We feel this record is the culmination of hundreds of gigs, thousands of hours, and many years we've poured in and devoted to this project, and each other.
This record genuinely has a small piece of everything we've experienced, both positive and negative over this time. Because of this, a self-titled full-length record just made sense. We hope you enjoy it. This is Professor Caffeine & the Insecurities.
