End of Days Reprise
02:37
|
|||
Ten times around the same old bush
Are you insecure of how it looks
Do you swear they’ll ridicule us
In all of the textbooks
The sacred truth
The damning lore
Impossible to ignore
Self-mythologized
Self-actualized
Are you starting to read the signs
Too busy writing yourself
An end of days reprise
Red flags so guaranteed
As far as the eye can see
The sacred truth
The damning lore
Impossible to ignore
I am not a loose cannon
I’m a smoking gun
I’m fine
Do you wanna be that guy
And I crashed my bike again last night
In a dream where you and me
Were on the same team
I haven’t felt like this in years
I’m living in fear again

Choosie
02:27
|
|||
Blinded by the backlight
full body chills that numb my toes
romantic feelings aside
tell me how this ends
cuz I've got to know
and I'm confused about where we stand
if I can't be your girl
could I at least be your man
and if I come on too strong
would you kick my ass
would you break my arm
would you at least sign my cast
no no no no no
don't make this bad for me
I'm past veiled and polite
take me to the gym
teach me how to shoot guns
or chain me up out back at night
if I'm just another dog
loyal to being shunned

Wave Emoji
02:55
|
|||
If there's one thing that I've learned from the beach
it's that you're better in retrospect
or when you're not in reach
staring out at the boring sea
I felt the wave wash over me
it's an ageless motif that goes back centuries
highest marks for the absentee
I was inundated
no I couldn't make you laugh
I was inundated oh no
ready to drown or face the dull unknown
are you even proud of your artistic life?
will you look back in a year
over beers for your tears
in disgust at the songs that you'll write?
well it was 6-6-6 before
I begged for it to stop
now it's 7-7-7 I've hit the jackpot alright
but that doesn't mean
those feelings can't creep up on a wednesday night

Free to Be Lonely
04:22
|
|||
One-track mind
with no street smarts
another existential crisis
would probably get the job done
you're not hopeless
but I think you've done enough
can't you see that you're a goddamn mess, man?
you've gotta pick yourself up
cuz we've all got a lot on our plate
despite how gross and bad your shitty life can taste
you've gotta take a little time and let it go to waste
see I used to think it was the end of days
but it's been a little while since I've felt that way
we've all got a lot on our plate
what if I said to you
that I knew what you were going through?
you're losing sleep
because your nerves keep you up at night
you're free to be lonely if you like
because I spent a year of my life feeling repressed
I spent the next year alone fucking depressed
and now I'm finding ways to vent to you
and I'm knocking out that list of things I have to do
fucking finally
despite how gross and bad your shitty life can taste
you've gotta take a little time and let it go to waste
see I used to think it was the end of days
but it's been a little while since I've felt that way
yeah it's been a little while since I've felt that way
and so you fucked it up once let's be frank–
you know you're gonna make mistakes no matter what
and sure you knew better but that's part of growing up

One Cusp
02:03
|
|||
from one cusp to another
I think I've had enough
I'm not your little brother
when will they hold on high
the examples I set
the principles I live by
so thanks to
my slacker role models
now my competitive gleam
makes me feel horrible
from one cusp to an earth sign
hey patient wise guy
I don't have the time
to sit and wait
what if they never appreciate
the chances I take
but I don't know just how you do it
you say I'll learn but that's counterintuitive

Melvin
02:59
|
|||
you were tall when we first met
now you've got me 'round your neck
you said, "It's cool and I don't mind"
but we both knew that things weren't fine
It's not that hard to be so unkind
when you put your faith in other guys
Melvin, to you god bless
Melvin, I'm wishing you the best
I'll be fine
I'll be fine

If I Were Smarter
02:46
|
|||
If I were smarter
not stubborn or bruised
I would have made my peace
and given up on you
you've really gotta spell it out for me, man
cuz I'm used to getting what I want
and assuming that I can
but it wasn't part of the plan
for this to get so carried away
and get so out of hand

Golden Bones
02:14
|
|||
I don't like hugging you
cuz I don't like touching you
it just reminds me that you're real
and that there's nothing I can do
but no hard feelings no harm done
what's the point if it's not fun?
you don't take the jump and not risk the fall
Alex I am nothing after all
throw these golden bones against the wall
cuz I'm sure that I'm not worth it
measure these gold bones against the wall
beacuse we both know that I'm not worth it

Year of Good Hair
02:43
|
|||
You don't know any better
and I guess you could blame them
with their antiquated politics
based on an outdated model for reference
and I don't wanna be the one
that says "hey you're doing this all wrong"
but god forbid if the people wanna sing along
so good luck getting under my skin
cuz I've been counting all my losses
I think it's time I got a win
cuz I'm making a pact
and I'm writing it all down
cuz even if it's nothing I've learned
it could matter somehow
I don't expect you to care
but I've got a good feeling
that this is my year
a whole year of good hair
so you think you're smart with your tapping
and you swear that you'll go far
but man I heard all that same shit
in the back of your car in 2006
and I know that you think that I'm just a fool
and my only strength is playing into what's cool
but if I die a martyr
I couldn't have worked harder

Happy in Hell
01:46
|
|||
I apologize for that if you know what I mean
sometimes I revert back into the old me
back when I was 17 and I was first cutting my teeth
in this fucked up scene
you know it's crazy just how quickly time can pass
we lose sight of the things we want so super fast
I never thought I'd feel this incomplete
I'm 22 and obsolete
so I did what humans do
I went looking for love
I found a person, some higher power, and a few chemicals
god I hope that this ends well
but for now at least I'm happy
happy in hell
I'm happy in hell
you make me happy in hell

The List
02:48
|
|||
Coffee in a mason jar
up too early planning ahead too far
for more patience and a new guitar
simple goals that's all they ever are
the list of things that I wanna accomplish this year
gotta polish the glass and make it crystal clear
more free time and some better lights
maybe someday even do something kinda right
or somehow even make somebody proud
I don't care if it's just myself
the list of things that I wanna accomplish this year
gotta take all the dread and make it dissapear
I don't want to lose touch with my angry balled up fists
I just want to comb my hair and make some sense out of all this shit
I don't want to trade 200 bpm for 130
I just want to be a little more sexy and kinda happy

Buddy Icon
04:11
|
|||
Tell me something about your kind
something that I couldn't find
just from staring at your buddy icon all night
I think Victoria said it right
these kinds of things they just take time
but in a year or two
I promise I'll take care of you
you were driving home way past your prime
when you said that I could keep your organs if you died
and although the context nearly blew my mind
the sentiment alone enough to make me cry
sure you're unstable but you know damn right
that's just how bad I wanna make you mine
so answer me one thing
I hope it's not too much to ask
but would you have me and could I be yours until this feeling's passed
so answer me one thing
I know you hate it when I ask
but if you're unhappy and you don't want me
could you let me down easy

Scratch your head
scratch your head
with my back foot I'm gonna scratch your head
scratch your head
scratch your head
with my back foot I'm gonna scratch your head
we're wrestling with our claws out
get whipped get bit check it check it
get whipped get your neck bit
get whipped get your neck bit
check it check it
I'm distracted
look at this rope
look at this rope it's just a rope
look at this rope it's just a rope but it's fuzzy on the end tho
bounce, roll, check this tunnel
bounce, roll, check this tunnel
man, whatev, time to chill

Third Dimension
02:03
|
|||
I've got dishes to wash
I've got mouths to feed
I've got time I need to kill
but I can't delegate my attention
to anything but the surface tension
I'm stuck here with the worst intentions
a living hell in the third dimension
I've never punched anyone
but I'm starting to think it could be fun
I've got people to loathe
I spend my nights alone
all the time I want to kill
but I can't delegate my attention
to anything but the surface tension
I'm stuck here with the worst intentions
a living hell in the third dimension
I've never punched anyone
but I'm starting to think it could be fun

Light Black (Acoustic)
01:55
|
|||
god help me if what I'm feeling right now's true
cuz I'm totally buggin' and I don't even know you
but I know you're cursed by the thought
that you'll never have a boyfriend
and after four nights of talking you say
you're feeling like your life could end again
well I don't think that this
relationship is insignificant
I being of sound mind and body could advise
that you might need somebody more than you realize
cuz you can't go on feeling so doomed
like you're not good at anything
cuz we both know that's not true
you're sick at everything
I think I read that somewhere once
I swear I can relate if you don't wanna talk about
the way you were brought up
the shitty things that keep you up at night
or if you're embarrassed by how often you cry
and I hate to think that I could admit that
but I really want you to call me back
just call me back
before I dye my hair black

Kitchen Floor
03:03
|
|||
I tried going out to ease my mind
to forget the things I always think about
but I sat alone while everyone had fun
I couldn't get over all the stupid things I'd done
so I got high and I went home and I fell down and wrote your name on the kitchen floor
I wish it didn't have to be like this
I wish that there was something more
