Well as I change my shape, start shifting weight
I can’t help but question if my path is straight,
But as I work this maze, I chip away at today
So tell me something I don’t know, here I’ll put it simply
My brain is racing, going a 100 in a 60
I’m a short fuse just trying to keep the peace & if you
Share the sentiment then keep up with me
C’mon, show me some spine and smile
C’mon, how we’ll arrive there in style
C’mon, break out the shine in your smile
C’mon, here in the light stay for a while
-----
I rock a stormy past, my walls were made of nails & glass
And fell to ash the second we were matched
Can you see me, as I would dive in freely,
Just for a hint of quality, how instead
We were never ‘bout the palm trees
Life is strange, and we’re just playing inside
But let’s not entertain our pride
Just grab my hand and straight away we’ll fly
C’mon, show me some spine and smile
C’mon, how we’ll arrive there in style
C’mon, break out the shine in your smile
C’mon, here in the light stay for a while
-----
Today was a nice day
Skipped rocks, swung from the monkey bars
Laid in the grass and just looked up for hours
Then came the rain, and we ran to our car
To our, warm blanket
Oh I never want this day to end
What I’ll do for happiness
-----
C’mon, show me some spine and smile
C’mon, how we’ll arrive there in style
C’mon, break out the shine in your smile
C’mon, here in the light stay for a while

All music & lyrics written and recorded by Stephen Molina
Mixed & Mastered by Damon Dennis at Crossroads Studio in Lubbock, Tx
After 9 years of writing songs and learning instruments, Stephen Molina has finally decided it was time to start pumping
out some tunes! Infusing acoustic-folk rhythms, a free-flowing bass, some light piano and electric leads, and a driving backbeat with free-form elements, Scuba and the Tanks has bloomed into a collaboration project that all Indie Rock lovers can enjoy :)...more
It's a damn good aggressive folk record with a gorgeous voice leading you through. Take a peak, you won't regret it! Favorite track: Wonderful, Amazing Scuba and the Tanks
This kid was barely 19 years old when he released his first album! A beautiful blend of dreamy electric tones and experimental structures make this one hell of a record! Scuba and the Tanks
