We're here at Beach city Beach Takin in the breeze Orderin the ocean please Relax the day away With friends that say You work to hard It's time to play Visited the zoo Just after two Cost too much For me to do So I went around Ran around the town The buildings Were worth the view Chorus: By the docks and by the pier The kids are running too close I fear In the water they might fall But they laugh there not scared at all Beach city Beach We spend our day fooling Beach city Beach Throwing worries aside Verse 2: Wake up in the morning, getting me a haircut Strip malls right by the zoo White lady is nervous said she's never done this Asks her friend what to do Her friend comes around should I comb you down This girl doesn't have a clue Googled black barber shops Made the lady stop Ran right out of the room Bridge 2x: Up and down all around I feel this city within me It's thrilling, fulfilling my hearts pursuit of peace My pursuit of serenity We're at the pier in Beach city The kids are running

My Strength I feel it there My mind is clear Your words were nice to hear The sugar on my ears Nostalgic and never Lasts forever You are so endearing I wish I could see what stops you and me From ever really hearing Everything you inspired out of me Am I just naive To think that you would really stay with me ‘Cause you always leave Just when I’m at ease Don’t think just cause I’ve went away I won’t be back another day I’m not done with you You still owe its due Tough luck here’s a reality check You feel great now that’s fleeting at best I can’t let you go But this will bring you low You’re here today Tomorrow lost from me Wasted away Will this cycle end My heart it weighs Heavier again Now real for me You say it’s just pretend I know I really cared Bold declarations Great conversations Making me aware finishing something Accomplishing nothing You are so endearing I wish I could see what stops you and me From ever really hearing Everything you inspired out of me Am I just naive To think that you would really stay with me ‘Cause you always leave Just when I feel settled Don’t think just cause I’ve went away I won’t be back another day I’m not done with you You still owe its due Tough luck here’s a reality check You feel great now that’s fleeting at best I can’t let you go But this will bring you low You’re here today Tomorrow lost from me Wasted away Will this cycle end My heart it weighs Heavier again Now real for me You say it’s just pretend This time though, this time though I’ll just enjoy your company Cause I don’t know, I don’t know When next you, I will see When I’m old, When I’m old I hope that you’ll have been with me If not for you not for you This world, I wouldn’t truly see

These hug and kiss sensations Adrenalines been making me feel A way that is just dangerous Dont hold back No regrets Blood rushing to my head now I might collapse The high that I get I'm up in clouds And I think I'll stay here oh And I think I'll lay here Yeah the stars They glow they glow a look and Your heart it might just explode the Flowers bloomed See how theyve grown Animals sing They put on a show Wild things They follow the flow Beautiful queen This world we all know Reasons uncertain Questioning the way that you feel Am I this person Happiness authentic and real Enjoy every second until it fades Cause beautiful things are temporary And I think that's for the best The worst feeling is numbness Your eyes have seen the worst of days Your mind feels like a constant haze But your heart it isn't blue Your heart it fights for you Your heart is shining new 2nd

Sweet Release Were at peace With our minds Tragedies In the night When we dream Of Distant Islands And Fantasy Our lives always planning Cautious pandering Mysteries We all lie Everythings fine But inside Silent cries Dont hold you breath Inside your chest Waitin for the best Its just wasted time You know its true Search for the root Of your troubles I cant guide you through Were free to live Shackled by it Undecided We want happiness So we escape To fairylands Serving Elixirs of poison Sweet release Recognizing All the beauty In memories Melodies In harmony I'll repeat Til I feel fine If I feel right I'll go outside And play my song Under the lights Then I'll buy Myself an IV To pump me full of Liquid lies When we pray Cry out in strife Struggle through Our damaged lives Search for meaning The how's and whys Crave Release Something right

We all want to fall in love but We don't want to fall for long No we just want to fall asleep Drunk every night next to someone Hug and kiss and always miss them But never raise our children with them We all want to live forever But we don't want to hurt forever Watch TV and ache all over Become a burden to each other Drink to feel some joy again Then come back down by 10 AM We all want to have an impact So after we die we'll have done that Simple task of making love and Raising up a baby of Hopeful mental aptitude To tell ourselves we've done what we had to do We just want to feel elated Drink poison to feel liberated Kiss our hips to get stimulated Lock eyes stuck so inundated Forget our problems and our fears And the promise of so many years ahead We just want to grow obsessed with Anyone who feels electric When we touch them we feel accepted Love is just our fears suspended Anxieties are put away by Touching ourselves in the right places We all want to be in love but We don't want to be for long Cause eventually we run out of Romanticizeable life episodes When we grow old and lose control Of our bodies and then all our soul Kissing lips won't feel the same And eventually we won't know the names Of people we spent all our lives with Raising kids and passing time in Places that we fell in love And made each other feel so untouchable And silenced all the nagging voices In our heads we made our choices with

Rom would like to thank: Def would like to thank my bro Matt Hamer, for putting in dem mixing hours. I would also like to thank my parents for u know bringing me into the world to create some sick tunes, Thanks to the peeps at Matt's Music store for supplying me with some great gear. Thanks to WPI cause many hours were spent in their music hall recording haha. Also thanks to my second parents Edison and Angela for letting us come through to San Diego, where we were able to get some inspiration and down time to work on our demo.

Matt would like to thank: I would like to thank Rom for starting this band and being ridiculously dedicated to making this succeed. I'd also like to thank my parents for supporting me in my musical career which as you can see has culminated in the form of this Grammy-winning EP we've made. I'd also like to thank Edison and Angela for being the most supportive people in the world and for contributing to our self-confidence to release this record. Also thank you to everyone I bought drums from on craigslist for way too cheap. And thanks to my guitar teacher Troy Price who I am sure would be very proud of how I transferred those guitar skills to drums and drums only. Also thanks to a bunch of bands who had no direct impact on this record but inspired us a lot.

Post Empire Worcester, Massachusetts

Post Empire is the result of realizing that there was no other way for us to express ourselves emotionally besides this dumb band.

Rom Valme, Matthew Hamer, other people sometimes.
