So he's in his bedroom one night, and he was just laying there, and then boom, three AM lyric inspiration came like a train and suddenly he's scribbling down pages and pages of concepts and notes. It's not as metal as his band would like so, Eddie Munson releases his first solo album.

It's called Brown-Eyed Boy.

the words are soft but the sound is grungy but the way it flows its like a confession. Everyone assumes the guy with the honey tan skin and the rocky mountain cascades of hair is imaginary, some kind of idealistic fantasy of his.

Until Dustin hears it.

Because this whole album is about his bestfriend.

where his mother didn’t comfort him when he cried or scraped his knee, where his dad told him to man up.

he carried that shitty mindset into adulthood, he was strong, he didn’t talk about that uncomfortable weight on his chest, he didn’t cry about the ache in his throat or the pounding in his skull. Steve was a man after all.

at first he doesn’t like Eddie, the guy talks about everything, every thought in his head, even the unpleasant ones. What kind of guy tells people about those things? Why did Steve feel a tug in his gut when he heard Eddie complain? Why did a part of him want to fix it all?

and why did he start crying on that late night in eddies van when he turned to him, stopping his constant talking for once, to ask if Steve was alright?

oh wait what are my hands doing-
