watch the adults behave like children with their informed obvious opinions the path grows wider and we must choose sides when we all want the same thing? let out the fear silly power man you put your hands where they don't belong and when they catch you (cause you know they will) you'll be gone got to let it out.
2.
there are apartments all up and down James street and parties with people whose names I won't remember but a few of us will be around forever it's a cherry on top every time I go home we get together and we are young again but they'll wake us up early so make it time well spent don't look too far ahead beyond the weather and who has cigarettes every time i go home you and I will be friends forever
3.
we're at imperial gardens where the old and the young greet riding down slow elevators into the quiet lobby all you need is a doorman and a garage here for the duration until your number is up and we'll see you above the 12th floor familiar faces i knew you before how old is your dog now?

about

No Glitter is the solo project of Billy Martin, best known as a drummer based in Rochester, New York with The Ginger Faye Bakers, Vacation Daze, Leus Zeus, and others.

In late summer 2018, Martin entered Wicked Squid Studios in Rochester, New York to record nine new songs after being inspired by visiting his hometown of Syracuse, New York. All of the sounds on the forthcoming album 'The Old City' were written, performed, and sung by Martin-- save for a few key guitar solos performed by Sage Xavier, his friend and bandmate in Vacation Daze.

The sound is reminiscent of 90s guitar rock through a classic 70s filter, with an emphasis on songwriting, hooks, and an overall heavy vibe. The lyrics are both reflective and forward looking; with tributes to his hometown, lifelong friendships, observations on current events, and how it feels to be a father with two young children at the end of the 2010s.
