All That You Have

Its nice to meet you
You haven't come by in a long time
I was starting to miss the talks we had
Its nice to see you
I swear you were someone else last time
I was hoping you would stay a while
Don’t let your problems
Become everything you have
Don’t let your problems
Take away all that you have
Keep up, Stay strong
Make up your mind
No one will do it for you
Keep up, stay strong
You’ve got one life
No one will live it for you

Fuck Today

Don’t want to get out of bed today
Just like every other day
Hit snooze for 2 hours straight
and i know I’m gonna be late
so fuck today
and fuck tomorrow too
cause i’m sure tomorrow i'm gonna say
fuck today
the coffee's cold and i already got a headache
and its only 10 am
i should have called in sick today
i wish i was anywhere but here

Not Afraid of the Dark
03:03
|
|

I’m not afraid of the dark, I’m afraid of missing out
What happens now? It all falls
I’m not afraid of the dark, I’m afraid to be let down
I’m afraid to leave this town
One thing I’ll always say is some things will never change
Why would they? I’ll fade away
And you’ll say “it’s over.”
I’m waiting. I’m waiting for something new
But nothing ever changes
One day I’ll get away from this place I’ll never stay forever
Just gotta wait and put some things together
I’m waiting. I’m waiting for something new
But nothing ever changes

Bad Habits
02:47
|
|
||
|
I have this habit of leaping before i look
And i can't make it back up to the top
What i lack in patience i make up with lack of discipline
So much for getting older i still don't want to fit in
My head hurts because i'm worried all the time
But i can't show it cause i gotta toe the line
Throw a tantrum when no one is around
Regain composure in time to settle down
My wardrobe is still filled with band tees
My fashion sense hasn't changed since i was fourteen
I still go drink cheap beer at house parties
But i won't crash on the floor with everybody
You say apathy as if that’s a bad thing
You say my compassion is missing
I've tried a million times i've tried
But now you know how many times i've lied

Fucked Up Generation
02:23
|
|
||
|
they tell me that I'm the fucked up generation
co dependent pessimistic
they tell me I’m entitled not grateful for what I’m given
self important that's an endorsement
now i know you don't believe when i say that i don’t care
its just another phase i'm in, just trying to be fair
I don't need you telling me its just a phase
I’ve been stuck in this phase since seventh grade
well I’m still here i'm not going anywhere
I could just disappear there's a whole world out there
I know i'm a grown up adolescent
but i still haven't learned my lesson
I guess I'm treading water and I don't know what I want
To have everything, to move on
Told me to go to college and then get a job
That's what I did, its no fun
I know I don't have any plans for my future
Right now it seems so far away
how am i supposed to think about tomorrow
I still haven't figured out today
I don't know what I'm talking about
Don't listen to my advice
I don't know what I'm talking about
When I'm older I might think twice

Vindictive Feelings
01:17
|
|
||
|
You didn’t recognize me when I saw you at 7-11
And that’s a shame cuz I want you to see how much better off I am
I look pretty different but you look just the same
Vindictive feelings should change but I’m damned if I’m gonna change
I like to think that things went to shit for you but I know in the back of my mind
It’s probably not true.
Saw you with some guy, he’s probably just great
But I think that I’m better, so fuck him anyway.
Time doesn’t change, old wounds remain. But I didn’t say I won’t complain.

Not Again
01:27
|
|
||
|
Hanging out at some dive bar on the side of the highway
I got 8 pints in me and a shitty sub that’s gonna come back up again
Feeling a little bit less than i did yesterday
i don't know where this is going but it’s south of here today
Not again. I won’t remember this tomorrow. I won’t remember anything.
never thought that this could be exactly like it was before
and what did you say that time when you knew that i wanted more
i'm a little bit sloppy and a little bit less than i was before
i don't want to feel this way i'll drown myself walking out the door

Dumb
02:24

“I don’t wanna be here anymore” she said. “Can’t I just stay here in bed?
This conversation is over.”
“I really want these thoughts out of my head, and if I go to sleep again, do I have to wake up?”
A fight ensued, egos were bruised. Just this side of walking out again.
There’s something keeping me here, and my thoughts aren’t clear. Maybe tomorrow it will make sense.
Or maybe I’m dumb. Or maybe you’re the one.
I can’t rely on anyone but I can rely on you.
My mind is gone and maybe I should see someone.
It’s a disaster that I caused but maybe I can find the truth.
In the midst of everything, I can’t help but wondering if I would do it all again
Memories that it brings, good and bad it’s all the same. Giving up’s just not inside of me.
But still, maybe I’m dumb.
I don’t know what I want. It’s all a game, maybe it’s all the same.
I’ve come so far and I know who you are. Let’s set the stage. Maybe I’m wrong.

Bury the Spade
01:56
|
|
||

You’ll never bury the past
Dig that spade into my back
Though your answers never change
The question didn’t stay the same.
Pull your fist back, turn my lip black. When’s the last time you ever really gave a shit?
It makes no difference now, it’s not important
You get what you get. Might not be what you deserve
Can’t find no comfort in a stupid proverb
It makes no difference now.
Tasting copper, my legs falter. What’s the fucking point of all this shit?
Trace back on this spiderweb. Right angles are way too convenient.
Can’t find no comfort in this glass of bourbon.
