Leaving

He’s making fun of your brother
And my T shirt is my favorite cover
He’s lashing out at the color
You never knew but he always bugged her to shit when she’s trying to study, would bore her to death when she’s trying to be funny
I’m leaving for the summer, and she isn’t too happy about it. It looks like I don’t but I do give a shit. I wanna make an escape through the front door with my head sore
From the liquor store when you bought for me two bottles two days before I turned 21
Now he does his laundry every week
He takes a hit and lets it steep
He’s turning corners way too fast
He’s answering when no one asks.
And now he’s playing this song straight
You’ll never know it when he breaks
Even if there was something good going, he just has to let it live elsewhere outside his cut up, fucked up limbs it’s a necessary feeling in his guts where the attitude starts, and his heart doesn’t love him anymore
But nothing settles when he’s feeling rough
Takes himself to the park to let it run
Doesn’t think that his love would last
He breaks himself he breaks it fast

Hear Me
02:02
|

You are so right, time is fleeting
Gonna move some around then I’m leaving
I’m a sinker in a swimming pool
I’m a thinker but it doesn’t make me cool
It would feel so damn good if you could hear me
It would feel so damn good if you could steer me
Up the coast, now I’m alone in a city
Where I know no one, what a pity
But I’ve got something jotted down on this receipt begging when are you going to love me?
It would feel so damn good if you could hear me
It would feel so damn good if you would hear me
I wouldn’t fuck this up if you made me
It would feel so damn good if you could hear me
Scoops is upstairs getting ready
Meanwhile I’m downstairs getting lost in my head, yeah I can’t keep this one steady.
Because it wears me down and all I think abouts how
It would feel so damn good if you could hear me
It would feel so damn good if you could hear me
I’m running way too fast for the feeling
It would feel so damn good if you could hear me
It would feel so damn good if you could hear me
(It would feel pharmaceutical)
It would feel so damn good if you could hear me
(It would feel like bionicles)
I wouldn’t make a mess if you trust me
(It would feel super magical)
It would feel so damn good

White Rabbit
03:05
|

Follow along if you want to sail away
White rabbit song slowly fading into grey
And the trip is long while we sit in outer space
But when you come down I left a light on in my place
I’m sorry for the lack of information
I’m looking for something we can both do
I’m sorry for sour communication
I’m building something bigger than us two
Crowds go blind to a cardboard sign when the little yellow lines run out
And the blue light rays from the store displays get louder until they shout
Speak your mind / undefined
Hang ‘em high / Realign
When it's grey at the end
we’re repaid what we spent
Want it back now, I want it back now
The lobby’s marble tiles
Your sort of sleepy smile
The window’s flowerbeds
And sometimes wishing I was dead
The busy riverwalk
It’s still too soon to talk
The staircase wit you hide on seven hour impulse drives
I was so wrong until you put me in my place.
Want it back now! Want it back now! Turn the lights out, I want ‘em back now!
Falling off track! Start to flashback! Falling off track! Flip the switch back!
Crowds go blind to a cardboard sign when the little yellow lines run out
And the blue light rays in the store displays get louder until they shout
White rabbit song slowly fading into grey

Tenths (Amoeba Eternity)
01:41
|
|||
These are the thoughts that keep you afloat
From an early age you wait and hope
These are the thoughts that keep you awake
Know I’m never coming back to this place
So say goodbye to orange skies
And hang ‘em high inside your mind
And subway trains escaping rain
Your sly disdain / familiar pain
A reminiscent symphony of inefficient energy
A flies life will fly by like amoeba eternity
The flashlight that fell off the bed table last night shattered and scattered the roaches rejoice
The lawnmower’s long moan / the right voice, the wrong phone
The words that come out when it’s just us alone
The insomniac’s artillery: a pint from the distillery
“Tomorrow, tomorrow, we’ll all kick tomorrow”

A Little Warmer
02:34
|
|||
I’m coming to terms, maybe I handled it the best I could
And it makes me feel a little warmer when I think that hey anybody anywhere could feel this way, but I guess the chemicals set up shop in my brain stacking all their books and tables in the way, oh yeah you haven’t cracked just yet / your happiness it isn’t fake
Don’t tell yourself to take steps because you’re already there
And I don’t want to take that away / don’t wanna be the one who brings you pain
But I wanna go to the safest place in the world
I wanna get lost until I wanna hurl
I feel like I was a fly / the one you shooed away
Cause I probably buzzed too much / told myself it wasn’t enough
Buzzed some more and fucked it up
But I wanna stand on top of the world with you
I wanna stand until I wanna hurl
I wanna say something right here but I don’t know what
And if I was a train running down the tracks next to the highway I’d crash and burn big and bright
And if the sky would let me have this one thing one time, it could save me
And it makes me feel a little warmer when I think that hey anybody anywhere could feel this way
But I guess the chemicals set up shop in my brain stacking all their books and tables in the way oh yeah
It makes me feel a little warmer

Kickflip Luis's Roof Gap
02:36
|

I’m fickle like the breeze / breaking sticks as if they’re trees
And peach colored clouds like at my grandmother’s house
We’re losing light everyday / sit watching it fade away
Pushing memories to the back of my head
To stay level horizontal in my bed
I can make it warmer if you like
It’s everything to me that you enjoy tonight
You stay in my mind but out of my sight
I can’t lay blame for keeping things so light
Listen to this cognitive dissonance
I never got to know your parents: preferable
We haven’t talked about it since: regrettable
Drain your house of everything now, let it take the paintings down
Eternal screams for else / living out of & turning into hell
Spring like your favorite novel pours out what winter bottled
Seats are filled but no ones hear, said nothing but the message is still clear
See / hear / learn / forget

Monday Night
03:53
|

Drink my beer on a Monday night
I know it ain’t good for me
Sleep till four on a Tuesday right
Ya know it ain’t gonna last
I’ve got ticks crawling in my bed
Those suckers are jumping ship
I’m gonna buy me a minivan
You know it ain’t gonna last
Oh
You’re gonna notice me this whole time
Alien smiley taking what’s mine
And if you notice me this whole time
Maybe you’ll pick up on my alien smile
Now I’m thinking bout my mom’s dad
And how he used to work downtown
Leave his car and walk the ten blocks there
The only parking spot that was free
Did any of that rub off on me
He’s willing and he works for his kids
now I’m gonna buy me a minivan
but I know it ain’t gonna last
Oh
You’re gonna notice me this whole time
Alien smiley taking what’s mine
And if you notice me this whole time
Maybe you’ll pick up on my alien smile

Love Yeah
01:41
|
|||
Even though I’m thinking bout
The people going out and kissing
I still don’t wanna think about the fun and all the other stuff I’m missing
When I tried to find what pulled me down I realized
It’s love
Yeah I’ve never shown myself that stuff
Never shown myself that stuff
It doesn’t feel like it belongs
Though it might be good I’m convinced that its wrong
It’s not the thing that’s been there all along
Yeah
Love
I never show myself enough
And when I’m feeling thin
Still won’t let it in
God I know I’m sinkin
And all I wanna do is what I wanna do
And what I wanna do is talk it through
But I can’t I’m scared I’m incomplete
And now I’m feeling so ashamed
I’m bawling on the interstate
I’m slowing to a crawl when all these cars are wizzing past
And I’m feeling like I’ll never change
And so I’ll try to break this same
Sick cycle in my head that chucks me up
And smacks me down

If You Want
04:05
|
|||
Now I don’t want you to stop till I’m bloody
Recognizable but less ugly
Watch me crumble in the cheap seats
I won’t say I don’t want to stay here
I’d never tell you I don’t feel safe here
It’s a mess but you make it home
But would you be so cruel to me
And the big screen
At the rest stop screams
It keeps telling me
To stay in my seat
But the world it turns
So endlessly
I can’t stay here
But I can’t leave
You got me trapped feeling like I’m gonna snap now
I’ve got the codes but you’ve got the keys and you’re taunting me
it’s not like anything else
I’m breaking apart
You keep cracking my heart
I want you I want you to call me whenever I’ll do anything I’ll deliver even if it’s making me quiver it’s ok if I’m up late
I was getting high with the neighbors
Using as a sort of eraser
Tried to force you out of my thoughts
but it just don’t work like that
And the big screen at the rest stop’s whispering
It keeps telling me to stay in my seat
but the world it turns so desperately
I can’t stay here but I can’t leave
You got me trapped feeling like I’m gonna snap now
I’ve got the codes but you’ve got the keys and you’re taunting me
it’s not like anything else
I’m breaking apart
You keep cracking my heart
So if you crack it deep enough
It’ll run down to the bottom floor
And if I’m still feelin rough
I’ll crack it myself, a little more
And if this change aint radical
Then what was any of this for
If I’m laying down, then I’m dying now

Air Guitar
00:40
|

It’s 1 AM and I gotta work at 8
but I’m standing in the shower playing air guitar
to a song that I wrote in the seventh grade it’s not that good but I have fun when I play it on my
air guitar air guitar air guitar nananananananana
I’m just really glad I asked you on a date you didn’t say yeah but at least now I can say
that I got off my ass and I made some waves
I add it to the ocean in a little way
I couldn’t hear you I was looking up daydreaming about spilling coffee cups and how maybe one day I’ll be happy when you are
laughing at me while I’m playing you my air guitar

Sunny Happy Demons

Living off daylight
Sunny happy demons
Staying out of sight
Rose colored reruns
I once thought of you
Like my daydreams were true
But someone took the stop out of the drain
The apple of my eye
Now rotten chasing highs
Cause someone turned the lights out in your brain
A letter to myself
I just need a catchy melody
I’ll sing for someone else
I think I’ve had about enough of me
The road ends at your door
But no ones there to greet me
And on your kitchen floor
I’m finally pleased to meet me
A sea of shipwrecked plans
The boat never made land
Cause someone took the stop out of the drain
The summits where we hide
From a life that you denied
Cause someone turned the lights out in your brain
A timestamp of my health
I just need a better remedy
A glass of bottom shelf
I’ll stay sedated for eternity
