"I sat behind the wheel and watched the raindrops
As they gathered on the windshield
And raced down into the humming motor
And she folded up her fears like paper airplanes
And lost them in the trees."
"[...] my heart
Spills awkward and embarrasing blood
Onto white golden streets
And I am unashamed of the stains my steps leave"
- from Mineral’s "If I Could" and "Take the Picture Now"
both from their debut release The Power of Failing, 1995,
which is I believe, the archetypal emo album
