Stay
02:19
|
|||
|
I wear my hair like a helmet on my head
somehow caught up in a stupid fashion trend
but I'll blend in with a sea of faceless men
whose skulls are shaped like a bad circumcision
Yeah I'm nothing but a hypocrite
I sit inside surrounded by my own judgement
and all I could or would have left
I've lost because my lack of friends
And they are there with you
while I am here, just trying to run away
but I have lost value
so here I'll stay
In the morning I eat some frosted flakes
the most important meal of my day
is empty cause of all that sugar cane
you're what you eat, and all I am is fake
Sometimes I think that these songs all sound the same
that the uke's got no dynamic range
that my voice has nothing left to say
but my fingers still work so I'll still play
I'll still play!
And they are there with you
while I am here, just trying to run away
but I have lost value
so here I'll stay
Here I'll stay
Here I'll stay
Here I'll stay
Here I'll stay.

Caffeine
02:44
|
|||
|
There is caffeine running through my veins
but it's no substitute for blood
been up all night just trying to get myself to change
but you and I both know I never could
Cause in my head I'd like to think that I'm a genius
with deific thoughts or something more than human
then loneliness is necessary not a weakness
I find my hope in a delusion
You can go to the ends of the earth
Just living life like a rebel
but please just know the only one you're kidding is yourself
This is a rocky beach and all you are's a pebble
just cause you're different doesn't mean the you are special
I walk into a room and my stomach feels nauseous
I see friendly faces filled with hope
But if small talk and suicide were my two options
then I'd be hanging from a rope
Man I'm so sorry for those things I said and did
Sorry for all these things I've broken
Sorry for messing with your relationships
But most of all I'm sorry I didn't notice
Yeah most of all I'm sorry I didn't notice
You can go to the ends of the earth
Just living life like a rebel
but please just know the only one you're kidding is yourself
This is a rocky beach and all you are's a pebble
just cause you're different doesn't mean the you are special
just cause you're different doesn't mean the you are special

Social Anxiety
02:19
|
|||
|
Get less attractive as I age
and I get older every day
right now you and I exist
but that's just temporary
You know I've tried so hard to change
to mean those silly words I say
but i'm afraid I've been dismissed
and left here to my own dismay
Wishing I could disappear
send me like signals through the air
so I can play with my own band
walk down those thousand steps of stairs
Seems its time for me to cry
but there's still no water in these eyes
might be broken, might be damned
had my emotions compromised
Now i'm in a different state
but not a different state of mind
still lazy and apathetic
scared of getting left behind
See, there's people all around
but I'm a thousand miles away
Give my imagination credit
enjoy this bright and sunny day
But I'm not living my own life
no I haven't even tried
get distracted by that big screen
that appeases my inside
Lose my ability to speak
yeah I'll just sit here silently
people might think that I'm mean
but it's social anxiety

Alone
02:26
|
|||
|
Find a girl who's good enough to break your heart
cause you need something else to write songs about
These one's are too self aware and it really sucks
how metaphysically irrelevant all of us are
And the Uke is cool but it cant stand on its own
Needs that annoying kid you know who can play "I'm yours"
Plus an entire band behind it or it wont sound full
So how on earth can you claim to play rock and roll?
The things I love usually hate me
Think that's probably why I can't sleep
and why I'm filled with insecurities
but I'd rather be alone than lonely
You say you've got a lot to say but never speak out loud
You're stuck in a cliche feeling lost in a crowd
you'd better get yourself a ride far away from this town
cause these people all think you're insane
And you think that you're cool cause you write new songs real fast
but they don't matter and you're cheap, cause they're just first drafts
you're stuck in a single moment that has long since passed
so hurry up and write something new
said hurry up and write something new
said hurry up and write something new
The things I love usually hate me
Think that's probably why I can't sleep
and why I'm filled with insecurities
but I'd rather be alone than lonely

C Students
00:53
|
|||
|
Think I'm becoming an adult
Cause I don't feel things like I had
but apathy suits me I'm told
I don't really care about that
And I swear my thoughts are original
but you swear yours are too
maybe thats what makes us similar
think we're pioneers but thats not true
Just a C student who takes pride
in how little I tried
but still survived
by telling lies
just to get by
and you and I
we Justify
our little minds
with an article that claims that c students are bright

Agoraphobia
01:41
|
|||
|
Finally got it figured out
that no one's got it figured out
yeah we're all just hanging round
in this boring lifeless town
and we're making plans to go
all the places in the world
Just need the money and the time
but all these excuses are just lies
Cause I'm too scared to go outside
I'd rather live my life inside these lines
cause bad things happen all the time
Howard Hughes might have had it right
So I'm sweating and I'm scared
cuz someone's coming up the stairs
and now I'm pulling out my hair
cuz I hear voices everywhere
I'm the only person I can trust
won't risk it with those kids on angel dust
or that sun that'd burn me up
till I spontaneously combust
Peeing in a mason jar
growing my nails out really far
can't leave a trace of who I am
I'll never leave the house again
or the government will win!
Cause I'm too scared to go outside
I'd rather live my life inside these lines
cause bad things happen all the time
Howard Hughes might have had it right

Devil and His Demons
02:25
|
|||
|
When I get old I don't want to grow up
Cause no adult I've ever seen looks like they're having any fun
and I can't tell if you're my one soulmate or if you're just someone
Right now my bed is sounding pretty nice
Cause I've been sleeping at all the wrong times
I've got emotional narcolepsy, my eyes are emotionally blind
and if I've done something to hurt you, then I'll apologize
But I probably won't mean it
And you can try to cry to Jesus
Just know that you've committed treason
Because the Devil and His Demons
Knew, it was just attention that you needed
Guess I'm a sociopath with no capacity for feeling
I couldn't care less about your healing, or if you were hanging from the ceiling
I'm still trying to figure out if my life has any meaning
So don't expect me to care about you
But hey I get it, its hard not to be conceited
when you look like that and all those boys are begging at your feet and
you are feeling so alone and so superbly superficial
but deep down inside you know you've already been defeated
And you can try to cry to Jesus
Just know that you've committed treason
Because the Devil and His Demons
Knew, it was just attention that you needed
And you can try to cry to Jesus
Just know that you've committed treason
Because the Devil and His Demons
Knew, it was just attention that you needed

kathrine
02:27

Pumped one too many pumps
Your ego might pop soon
I am probably just a chump
thinking im someone youd talk to
Youre a higher class of citizen
Im stuck in the slums is this
ladera ranch equivalent
Of a mandatory minimum?
Just trying to be a nice guy
Thought we could have some fun together
Should have known you’d not reply
My texts cant reach you on that pedestal
She’s too good for me
This must be jealousy
What she was taught to believe
Raises her self esteem
She’s white, rich, and naive
Living life in a bubble
Its filled up with conceit
But she acts oh so humble
And its really my fault
For asking her to be human
She’s throwing lightning bolts
Compared to her we’re all stupid
The cream of the crop
Sheds one more teardrop
Shes feels like shes so lost
Worried she’ll make traffic stop
Hands wont touch a mop
Elbows off the table top
she’s been trying nonstop
to make all of our jaws drop
Headache like you wont believe
Just down that last aspirin
And then lie through your teeth
Sayin “youre wonderful kathrine.”

Notice Me Pt. 2
04:21
|
|||
|
In an effort to appear original
I wrote some words and put them in a song
But this is my pink hair, yeah I’m just like them
Put others down to feel like I belong.
Cuz I’m just a catfish fishing
I’ve got an 8th grade mentality.
You wrote in my yearbook and you told me not to change
So I still think you're trustworthy
But your just a catfish fishing.
Fishing for validity
You’d sell your whole soul for a grain of sand
To hear someone say that you're pretty.
and girl I think I've got just what you need
but I know that you'll never notice me

What I Need to Hear
03:13
|
|||
|
Go along for the ride
But i'll be sad when its done
Picture me as that guy
On the screen who’s not alone
Those rolling words just remind me:
a child.
exactly what it means to live
I’m really good at setting goals
Cuz the future's far away
No idea what i'm doing
but i'll be happy one day
as I view the past through a mirror
I can tell
Life is smaller than it appears
"Have you been getting enough sleep?
Or any sleep at all?"
I can tell that you're concerned
It's just not what I need to hear
and through the phone You are so distant
And I know it's just a call
But I wish that you were here
I wish that you were here

Pyrotechnics
02:55
|
|||
|
Locked the door I’m taking off for a while
Cause I think I’ve got this figured out
Free will, free choice aint fit for me cause im a child
Who lives at home, and doesn’t know Which way to go I don’t even pay for my own clothes
I don’t even pay for my own clothes
Don’t let them in don’t let nobody ever see The real you,
ive trapped myself behind the walls of an emotional cocoon
and I’m so scared, yeah im so scared that its really all a coo
maybe im empty, maybe theres nothing for me to turn into
in my cocoon, I’d just as soon
take that pimped out butterfly
I’d take that pimped out butterfly
So lock me up
I’m an arsonist
Been burning bridges Like some kind of
pyrotechnic
A two piece puzzle brought together, it all seemed a bit cliché
Cause I met you, when you met me man we were both just so lonely
But my hearts broken organic matter, past its expiration date
So now im alone, and youre alone, and that’s how were gonna stay
Yeah that’s how were gonna stay
And I’m okay
And youre okay
Are just words
That we both say
At least, I don’t mean them
Anyway
So lock me up
I’m an arsonist
Been burning bridges
Like some kind of pyrotechnic
