90's Pop Songs
02:31
|
|||
I declare that i care now
I always did
I only bathe myself in sparks and kerosene
I filled up my punk points
I've been over the hill
Boiling blood and 90's pop songs are all that makes my heart beat
This whole life burns out faster than i can believe
I'll burst out in flames through the atmosphere
Now i don't care to show how i care and what i care for
Bottoms up, cause smiling's up for all we've worked for
And every spark that's still to come
I’ve been bullied or deceived
I've been down and out, i've been lost at sea
But then i've gotten busy living fast and free
It's not you stop getting hurt
You just learn that you can stand the pain
And then you quit putting yourself back there in the rain
This whole life burns out faster than i can believe
I'll burn out bright right through the atmosphere

Going Away
03:16
|
|||
A shrieking sound, the reverie's gone
I take a shower, down a cup and off i go
The bus is full but i'm alone
amongst a crowd of mindless zombies on their phones
And then the minutes turn to hours
And the hours turn to years
And there's still four more days to go
I'm going away
There's just too many songs to sing, i'm getting sick of the same bridge
I'm going away
I want to swim all seven seas, fall asleep under the trees
So I'm going away
Everytime we sink
Every time the world seems to be closing in on
On all our hopes and dreams
It's easy to forget how far the skyline is
And tonight is all I have
And i know these bounds are bound to break
An earworm stuck in deep
A 9 to 5 indifferent ballad that we endure
With steel cage drums, guitars and millions of horns screaming
traffic lighted, rusty jaded jams
It's just not the same
When I'm gone

Dirty Streets
02:06
|
|||
These dirty streets can feel so cold
but nowadays they feel like home
the dirty corners, the city lights at night
the murals by the overpass
it adds some comfort to my pride
i'm finding beauty where others see a stain
i never wanted to stray
we are home now, we're all castaways
the lonely river flows aside
a place that i can feel alive
never thought that i would seize you
from the bridges to the heights
i've had the best times of my life
i never thought that i could seize you well
ever since the first day i could sense
electricity in the air
everything's moving, the city's dancing swell
it may be minus hell outside but hearts are warming up the bar
a dirty basement, people raising hell

Hate Me
03:40
|
|||
I'm running on thin ice
And i see you on the other side
Quiet smile, ready to step in
Why won’t you see the mess i’m in?
Sunken goes your pretty little limb
Hate me
Why don’t you hate me
I’ve done all i could why won’t you please
Hate me
Why don’t you hate me
A know-it-all, a good for nothing
Good for none, and nothing ever nice
Fire hazard, burning up but still as cold as ice
Eyes are cracked and throat is sore
I can't take this shit anymore
Why won't you see the mess i am
Broken goes your pretty little limb
I said i'm sorry from the start
This one is gonna leave a scar
It’s not on purpose i am genuinely fucking terrified

Ghost Town
03:28
|
|||
Dead silence
The moon glows in the sky
Lonely and grey
Over a town, one hundred buildings
Tagged up old dive bars
Empty halls and highways
And I was
Torn down, I was and old flyer tumbling in the cold september wind
You came around
Picked me up from the ground and
You shook off all the dust and let me see the sun rise over town
In this ghost town
But then it changed
Flowers sprout through cracks in broken concrete
A lifetime lost in curtain calls, in empty stalls and solid walls
The sun came up, I soaked it up
It's a new day
let me fly a little more before i wake up
this feels like something i would dream of
the sun feels so good on my bare bones

The Greatest Excuse
02:51
|
|||
And it's a good time to make some bad decisions
Clean livers, filthy dispositions
We need a good excuse
And we need some time
Our hearts beat the same fast songs
We've had a bad taste for way too long
We've got the best excuse to see stars and concrete lines pass
Beer cans and scream our black lungs out
Greatest excuse, greatest excuse
To waste away our lives
Greatest excuse, greatest excuse
For smiles and high-fives
Greatest excuse, greatest excuse
To waste away our lives
I've got the greatest excuse to waste away with all my friends
Singing here we go again
As times pass, as jobs take time
We gotta scream, scream just to feel alive
Desperation, inspiration
Desperation, my god it's sickening
I gotta scream to feel alive
All my friends, now this is all i see
The greatest excuse to see everything

Perfect Storms
03:35
|
|||
I remember the world from my young eyes
The perfect storms and endless skies
Stairways and broken boards at night
The tape deck gods were all my life
What's wrong and what is right
Never give in, never get shut down
Full circles and declines
Lives away from taxes and cash downs
A lonely heart beating still so stained
With all these lines, with all these thoughts
You gotta never settle down, never sell out
Never stop screaming, never stop fighting it out
What's wrong and what is right
What's settling down and what is selling out
What's wrong with feeling fine
What's wrong with finding love in what you are
But then i see gusts of wind come through the trees
A perfect storm forming right in front of me
I thought that i'd seen all there was to see
But now i'll give you mighty wings to soar over the seas

In Circles
04:20
|
|||
Keep going in circles
Keep going in circles every day
Racing in your own head
Going fast in circles, back at me
And it's on and on constantly
You're old and jaded
You’re fabricated
You're down at 25
You're sleepwalking on the tightrope you spun
Would it not be closed i'd see the terror in the little thing that once was called your mind
Keep going in circles
Keep going in circles every day
It's witches, forks and torches
Just to forget your own disarray
And it's on and on constantly

It's Not Over
01:09
|
|||
It’s not over
This whole life, everything i’ve known
Boils down to one dotted line
It’s not over
Bodies of mere transportation
We barely scratch the disc of life and
Everything we do is just a stupid fucking line
Lies and differences of race
Why would we believe them?
There's no god, nothing more to do
Without all the time we’ve wasted
Would you believe it
We’d be so close to the truth
It's not o-

Hey Old Friend
03:53
|
|||
Last week i heard a song we used to sing
It brought me back to a time when we were sixteen and had nothing to lose
Now we’ve gone and found our own ways
It felt weird to think about the times we had, and how i miss them all
Do you remember that time when we almost caused a wildfire?
Or when we broke the attic window of my grumpy neighbor?
How dumb could we be we thought that
These times they would last forever
Hey old friend
What's going on
So many years apart and nothing’s changed at all
Hey old friend
Found your number, gave you a phone call
We met at the old bar where we used to wear out our fake cards
And we remembered all of our crazy stupid stories and all the fun we had
We talked about our jobs, nothing fancy just small talk
And ran out of words
Hey old friend
What's going on
So many years apart, nothing’s the same at all
Hey old friend
The kids, the job, the friends you have
Tell me who the hell did you become
Are you a stranger on the street
Or someone that i once had called my brother
I do know where you came from
We have shared the same blood
As time went by we grew apart
Hey old friend
I'm glad you do well
You’ll always have your place in the stories i will tell
Hey old friend

Better Days
04:45
|
|||
And so I woke up to the smell of ash and dirt and burning clothes
Struck in the heart
A heart that's as cold as coal
Broke down
I had nowhere to go
A place so cold and distant
Broke down
I had nowhere to go
Just free fall
Anchors aweigh
Life starts today
All the dollars in the world can't warm your heart
And so i woke up to the sound of cracking walls and my life plans, all burning down
I've been lost in all i've been
And as the tiny specs of dust slowly float into the quiet rays of the sun
Over the ashes of what once was all i had to lose
Just keep hope for better days
When all is turned upside down
