All In 02:28
Where does it go? What does it do? How does that thing work? Are you really so in love? Are you so in love? Say nothing of it And if you ever change your mind, we could do this all the time Because I swear I'm all in, I'm all in I swear I'm all in, I'm all in I swear I'm all in, I'm all in, I swear

Parade 02:35
There was something there, there was something there I swear I’m not imagining it And I am not prepared for what’s coming next I’m glad it hasn’t happened yet And there are ways that you can disappear And nobody will know you’re gone There are places you can go They’ll swear you’ve been here all along And all the people that you’ve wronged Parade across the backs of your eyes while you sleep And all you've worked for comes undone Every day I am more aware of what this thing is coming to And I have never been so sure of anything I didn’t know it felt like this And all the people that you’ve wronged Parade across the backs of your eyes while you sleep And all you've worked for comes undone There was something there, there was something there I swear I’m not imagining it And I am not prepared for much of anything I’m glad it hasn’t happened yet And all the people that you’ve wronged Parade across the backs of your eyes while you sleep And all you've worked toward comes undone And all the people that you’ve wronged Parade across the backs of your eyes while you sleep And all you've worked toward comes undone

I felt the fall chill for the first time today I put a sweater on and closed the windows up For the first time since May The sky was much more grey than blue And there were things I wished I knew Way before I put down roots in this place Went out that night on a whim Felt old as soon as I walked in All the college kids running around getting drunk I ordered myself a drink I thought that it might help me think Why the fuck do I ever think that’d help? Has it gone too far? If there was something going on, I’d want you to tell me If there was something going on, I’d want you to tell me If there was something going on, I’d want you to tell me If there was something going, would you just fucking tell me?

Well the man on the stage sang a song all about Marcus Garvey and JFK I watched all the people nod their heads and sway I wondered how long we could live this way I walked to the river, the river looked black I stared at the water and it stared right back Someone had spraypainted "fuck the police", "plant a tree", and "say hi, please" I was fixed on the words as I walked along the edge of the water there And to myself I said How long will they kill our prophets While we stand aside and look Apparently a really long fucking time How long will they kill our prophets While we stand aside and look Apparently a really long time

Making Room 02:35
I am making room I am making room I am making plans Making room for you I am making room I am making room I am making plans Making room for you I don't know why I'm this way I don't know the right things to do But I swear to god I meant every word that I ever said I don't know why I'm this way I don't know the right thing to do But I swear to god I meant every word that I ever said, Angela

Buried 01:58
I check my answering machine With alarming frequency But I do not think you'd think of me My absence seems to bring you peace And I can't remember how to tone it down But I'd love to see you when I come to town And we can argue or fool around, or both You know me, I'm always down in a hole Bury me please Bury me please Bury me please I read your diary You didn't make any mention of me at all You brought your new boyfriend to the show You said, "hey Matt is it alright if he goes" Oh what the fuck, I don't even know Bury me please Bury me please Bury me please

Summer Self 04:02
I don't dream anymore Tell me, why is that? And I can't even recognize my body Tell me, why is that? Well there's the person I was, the person I am And the person in between,I can't remember them But I know I don't sing anymore Tell me, why is that? And I can't even recognize my mind Tell me, why is that? There's the things that I want, the things that I need And the reality of it all is somewhere in between But I know. I've got my summer self, some semblance of health But I don't know I am

Hey, don’t look at me that way Just who the fuck do you think you are? And then the thoughts swirl around in my head It’s like oil in water or maybe oil for your car I don’t know because I can’t remember how to work a metaphor I can’t remember what I walked in here for And am I going out of business, going online, going downtown, or just out of my mind? Or am I taking things for granted Like a motorist’s compliance with a stop sign on the corner of this and that street I am taking things for granted Oh I am taking things for granted Come and see me when you’re better Come and see me when you learn how to love It could be great so great, it could be so great So please just come and see me before it's too late Because I've been taking things for granted Like the honesty of my last unprotected sexual partner I’m always taking things for granted Oh I'm fucking taking things for granted

Sirens 01:38
Spent an hour in the fields Looking at the stars When we drove back into the city All the lights were out There were sirens in the distance All the lights were out There were sirens in the distance

about

Some old songs that an old band once played, recorded for posterity and preservation of sanity.

"Matt Hall describes Say Goodbye to Hollywood as a document of his journey out of toxic relationships and habits toward a healthier, more openhearted existence. Indeed, an air of triumph and joie de vivre takes hold as the record progresses. Sometimes all you need to shake off heartbreak is loud, cathartic rock and roll. It's cheaper than therapy, and you can scream at a bar without getting kicked out. What's not to love?

If you're into raw, power-punk rock, heart-on-sleeve lyrics and big guitars, Say Goodbye to Hollywood is the album for you."

- Chris Farnsworth, Seven Days
