Coolant 02:32
I never considered that you were never bitter, just sick and overwhelmed. I guess I'm sorry too, for putting everything on you. Just know I'm trying now to be Better for everyone I love. I'm trying. I wake up most days having forgot your face. The malice decays and the distance keeps you sane. Maybe one day you'll call, put death to the push and pull. It's not me and it's not your fault. Through trails we become Better for everyone one we love. I'm worthy.

How do I look back at the memories without letting them take a hold of me? I get so lost in them. Always wanting to relive, just to keep the image sacred. I'm sure you'll wait there for me. The gates of hell have never seemed so pearly. I'm sure if you'd ever die, I wouldn't even get the chance to cry cause soon after, the universe would deem it ultimately perverse to let me live through that kind of hurt. So I'll see ya there and then.

It's time I stop kidding myself, swallowed whole by a sea of moving boxes. Taken back square one, rebuild with what you could recover from your rockbottom bunk, I hope we're okay now. Here's my Hey Annie, a pain of the gut. Take my "I'm sorry"s and take them for what you should: some acceptance, some progress, a foward that I've been lacking. It's time now and I hope so Empty rooms, white white wall, "Holy Ghost" and the change I don't know where you've been, but I know that I've been locked in my anger and I think it's time to let your memory rest. With no goodbye, I'd play the victim, the drugs were easy and I was vacant. Thought I'd die here and without you but there was so much more. From dismantled to deserving of the life that we are leading. I don't need you and that's okay, you don't need me and that's okay. But I've got a new apartment, and I've got a slue of good friends. And It turns out that I turned out worthy of it all. Empty rooms. white white walls, "Holy Ghost" and the change. I'll let go, I'll move on and friend it was good while it was.

Caved In 02:56
caved in, sent a message, poured my heart out, let it all go in a letter to san anton. but you couldn't care less - at least that's what i think and it doesn't matter - at least that's what they all say, but sometimes I have dreams that all these songs I sing echo down your street to keep you from getting sleep. sometimes I have dreams that you die before we speak and all the words I swore I'd say haunt and rot my brain so I caved in, sent a message, pour my heart out in a letter to san anton

about

"Closer Now, More Than Ever" was written and recorded by Holy Kerouac (Clarissa Rodriguez) in several small rooms across Lake Jackson and Austin, Texas. Lyrically, the record is about recalling people who used to be in your life and having to reconciling with the impact they had on you. It is about growing and grief, in the same breath. The sound that accompanies is somber and urgent while bringing together pop-punk, emo and synth pop influences to create a sonically unique foundation for Holy Kerouac's meaningful take on closure. Mixed and mastered by Daniel Zasandy, "Closer Now, More Than Ever" is set to release April 10th, 2020 on Lonely Ghost Records.
