Battle Royal
02:30
|
|||
It's like a fist fight at night battle royal timed just right
And if you play nice then you just might find just might find I
I've never been right never listened to anyone's advice
I'm just a dumb kid hit me in the face again so I can feel something.
Round 10 I'm on the ground again I can't win I think it's in my head
Towels in I'm losing this fight It's getting hard to pretend
And now he's hitting me blood in my eye makes it hard to see
He looks like me hazel eyes crooked teeth broken nose weird feet
With every hit he takes he smiles just a little bit just enough to say
There's no way you'll be okay okay today no way

Insanity
03:04
|
|||
People always walking down the street
They stop and take a minute
And take a selfie
Slap the phone right out of their hands
And then explain to them
To take a look around and see
What they're missing is beautiful
and the people, the trees and the sights they will never see
matter more than the web ever will and they should all just stop
One day it'll all be gone and they'll miss and they'll bitch and complain and moan and
I'll shrug and I'll shake my head and try to pretend to listen to them
Insanity insanity, oh the humanity
We've lost our vanity it's getting hard to see
What we call reality is not what is on TV
I think I'm going crazy my eyes are gonna fucking bleed!
Insanity insanity, oh the humanity
I'm losing hope and as far as I can see
nothing is changing the same old story
It's getting boring so damn deploring
Politicians are taking our taxes and taking vacations and living the life of their dreams
Meanwhile the people are starving and sleeping and begging and killing each other in streets
I'm kinda thinking there's something that's wrong here
Maybe we should steer our thoughts to a different place
Take a second to let that sink in and realize that we're all doomed in this place
Insanity insanity, oh the humanity
We've lost our vanity it's getting hard to see
What we call reality is not what is on TV
I think I'm going crazy my eyes are gonna fucking bleed!
Insanity insanity, oh the humanity
I'm losing hope and as far as I can see
nothing is changing the same old story
It's getting boring so damn deploring

Ms. Blue Shoes

You say that life goes on you don't the best of it
Life floats on so fuck all the rest of it
Take a chance and learn what you can from it
Fall in love forget all the bullshit
Ms. Blue Shoes, I'm in love with you
And you, don't even know my name
With your long blonde hair and that look in your eyes
Don't give a fuck about all the other guys
You are mine, no hello's or goodbyes
We'll be just fine
Ms. Blue Shoes, I'm in love with you
And you, don't even know my name

I'll Be Fine
03:01
|
|||
She looks at me I already know what's wrong
It's a look that I have dreaded for so long
She utters the words you're not what I need you to be
You don't provide all you do is lie what we have is useless to me
I'll be fine ( she tells me that )
I'll be fine ( maybe she's right )
I'll be fine ( she tells me that )
I'll be fine ( we'll tell with time)
I'm sorry that I wasn't what you needed
I just hope he has the decency to see it
We spent more than just the past few years wondering what we could be
You can't decide you changed your mind and soon we'll be a memory
I'll be fine ( she tells me that )
I'lll be fine (maybe she's right )
I'll be fine (she tells me that )
I'll be fine ( we'll tell with time )

And she said, I dont wanna go home
Can we just stay here? I don't wanna be alone
Cause you calm down my mind
Help me sleep at night
But she's the dark and I need the light
And I tried to fix this place
And I teased forever
It was a lonely summer without you with me
And I tried to hold on
But I just wasn't strong enough
Now I'm begging for the end
And she said
He means nothing to me, but it's easy to see
That she see's him differently
Cause that spark in her eyes, just isn't as bright
When he's standing next to me, it's fucking driving me crazy
And I tried to fix this place
And I teased forever
It was a lonely summer without you with me
And I tried to hold on
But I just wasn't strong enough
Now I'm begging for the end
I'm losing track of the lies that you led all the shit that you said
I'm deciphering inside of my head
It's getting hard to move past this I'm restless
But I've been trying my best

Rich
03:02
|

Well I wish I was rich
I guess it'd be pretty cool
To have lots of chicks hanging around the pool
Well I'd like to be famous
I could probably sign some boobs
I'd probably know Jay-Z and some other cool rappers too
If you have lots of money than you better give some to me
I'm just a broke kid playing tunes just to buy some food and weed.
And all my problems could be solved with just a little bit more money.
Until then I'll play these songs and I'll write my own story.
Well I wish I was rich
I'd buy a shit ton of cars
To drive to Vegas, and hop a couple bars
Yeah I think I'd go drinking
With a couple of my friends
We'd probably go streaking, we'll be drunk and throwing benjamins

The Feeling Goes
02:59
|
|||
The way she slides off her dress it really turns me on
I've only gotten here once so I wont last long
I'm kinda nervous how will I take off her bra?
I'll twist and turn till it breaks or she takes control
I'm getting nervous I think that I might explode
She slips her hand down my pants and the feeling goes
I think I'm doing it right but I might be wrong
This feeling's feeling so right so we move along
I unbutton her pants and slip off her thong
Then I hear a door open my boners gone
I hear a voice and it sounds kinda like her mom
My wildest dreams only wish that she sings along

Someday
03:21
|
|||
A tidal wave of discomposure
Thoughts of her face wreak havoc on my brain
One day I held her hand and the next it was over
I dreamt of someday that would never come
A hint of misery through a ballpoint pen
Keeping track of the countless nights I spend
Running circles again and again in my head
These sleepless nights will never end
And her voice it screams out and it echos
I taste her lips and it gets hard to swallow
I guess we couldn't hold on til tomorrow.
The way her hair laid on her shoulder
Her pretty eyes would glisten back in mine
One day I kissed her lips and the next it was over
I could have held her hand til the end of time
I'm taking back all the words I said to you
And the hell I put you through, was it worth it?
I'm sorry for all the songs I'll write to you.
And all the stress I caused for you. I need to know, was it worth it?

Lesson Learned
02:56
|
|||
I'm always worried about the things that shouldn't matter
I can promise that I won't sleep much tonight
I'll stay awake and I'll toss and turn and check my phone
Just to make sure she's alright
But that wont help me cause my brain is fucking scattered
Lost the part of me that made me feel alive

402 Scum

look mom and dad i'm out on my own
the bills are all payed and the lawn is mowed
is this what you want is this what you ask?
i've lost my mind its not coming back
9-5 just isn't right for me
i'm not supposed to work towards a dream
that's not mine,it's not mine, im not fine
cut me a break
throw me a bone
growing up sucks
this shit's getting old
my job is a joke
and i'm fucking broke
growing up sucks
this shit's getting old
Last week I went to my therapy
they said there's something wrong with me
i might be going just a little bit crazy
they think it comes from the lack of sleep
the voices in my head that scream
not good enough, not good enough, not good enough

Memories
03:01
|

We'll laugh about the times we got kicked out of school
for fights we probably caused cause we thought we were cool
Tim got punched in the face because he wouldn't move
I probably should've stopped him but I was too afraid to
Some friends will last you forever, pictures will hold us together
These times will pass us by, faster than the light in our eyes
Love hard and live life together, some friends will not last forever
These times will pass us by, but they'll leave their memories behind
We'll laugh about the times we got shot down by girls
That were out of our league, god damn we were naive
They'd laugh about our hair, they'd point straight at our jeans
But we'd still push so hard, because they made it hard to breathe
Those days are so far gone ( times changing we're all changing)
I really need to move on ( I need to run far away )
To much better things ( I'm leaving you tomorrow )
So hold on to the memories
They're all we've got for now ( I'm sorry for what I've done )
We'll stay in touch somehow ( please write me letters everyday )
As miles grow between us ( I'm gonna miss you so much )
These times will never leave us
Some friends will last you forever, pictures will hold us together
These times will pass us by, faster than the light in our eyes
Love hard and live life together, some friends will not last forever
These times will pass us by, but they'll leave their memories behind

What You Asked For
04:26
|
|||
This is what you asked for isn't it?
When you were younger, this is what you wanted when you got older.
This is not the shit I signed up for when I was younger
I promised my father, I swore to my mother
That I would follow all the things I wanted, do all the things only others thought of.
I guess I turned out fine but I
I can't shake, the feeling that I'm running out of time
I can't beat it maybe my mom was right
I should've stayed in school should've grown up right
Should've went to college maybe learned how to write
But that's not the way I needed things to go
I just needed space I just had to grow
I had to fall in love with the girl of my dreams just to
break her heart and rip mine from the seams.
Cause that's what we do as human beings
Fly ourselves to the top just to clip our wings and fall back to earth
more reality, back to what they want, back to what they need
back to rushing things, bad anxiety
crippling thoughts in your head, stomach pains in your bed
all the blood that you've bled, all the tears that you shed
led to moments like now that make you wish you were dead
and then it stops, things get different.
You skip a beat cause you missed the rhythm
you're finding ways in life you never knew were there
some days will drag on forever
some days you'll wish that they'll never end
so they'll go on and on.
