Nostalgia
03:41
|

Still want to suffer
Want to feel bad
Want to hate myself and be mad
But I don't anymore
Haven't for a while now
In fact i think i got this all down
But did i lose my inspiration
Was my dread my motivation
My only source of focus, my fears?
So where do i go from here
Don't want to die young but I hate that I'm getting
older
Though life's better now after all that i got over
Kind of want to go back to days when i felt colder
Don't want to die young but I hate that I'm getting older
I've always been a sucker
For nostalgia
I get high on days gone by
But I've never been better
So why am i missing
The worst days my life?
You'll miss it all
The good and the bad
The bad and the ugly
So what if I never accomplish anything
A million different projects incomplete
I've made it this far just playing it by ear
And I'll find out where to from here

Sunrise
07:01
|

I'm tired of writing boring stuff
No more soft songs
Don't want to sing, want to wreck my voice
And blow these speakers
I'm another one in a long line
of useless carefree
good for not creative types
At least I'll never be a monster
A blood sucker
At least I'll never join the corporate life
Lost in days gone by
Oh my
What a waste of a sunrise
We'll never make the big time
But we'll let em have it
Oh my
What a waste of a good time
Living for a big lie
I'm here to
Bite my tongue
Break a leg
Blow it off
And be unburdened
Where will you go
When you're turned away
As for me i don't care if I don't succeed .
Where will you go
Will you run away
Well I'm afraid I can't give up on this dumb dream
And I'll go through motions
I don't need a
Reason to feel alive
Yeah everybody's got a stupid band
No one's listening
Yet I will happily scream into the void
I do this for me
Don't want to be a big star
With a big car
Listen, no one cares that you play guitar
I gave up on all my heroes,
Phony legends
Don't want to be like all those dead rock stars
Oh my what a waste of sunrise
You throw yourself at the grind
Just to never make it
Oh my
What a waste of a good time
You won't stop to unwind
I'm here to
Bite my tongue
Break a leg
Blow it off
And be unburdened
Where will you go
When you're turned away
As for me i don't care if I don't succeed .
Where will you go
Will you run away
Well I'm afraid I can't give up on this dumb dream
And I'll go through motions
I don't need a
Reason to feel alive
No point in living unless its fun
What are you waiting for
I always wanted to be a punk
But I don't know how to skateboard
And every song I ever wrote
Is just a metaphor
For being dumb and being broke
But I'm still getting what I came for
Trying to fit into this game
is just a laughing joke
All these people playing god
While they all go up in smoke
8 billion egotistic fools
On a planet dying
There ain't a motto I can claim
That's why I'm so glad i gave up trying
I'm here to
Bite my tongue
Break a leg
Blow it off
And be unburdened
Where will you go
When you're turned away
As for me i don't care if I don't succeed .
Where will you go
Will you be okay
Well I'm afraid I can't give up on this dumb dream
And I'll go through motions
I don't need a
And I'll go through motions
I don't need a
And I'll go through motions
I don't need a
Reason, a reason
No reason til the morning
I'll be up
No reason til the morning
I'll be up
No reason til the morning
I'll be up
to see the sun
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE

Enemies
03:32
|
|||
I love people
Want people to love me
So I try and I try
To be friendly
So many people
Could live so happily
Cause they say to be kind
To your enemy
All my life I've tried
To be friends and play nice
With everyone but its time
That I draw the line
At
Narcissistic, supremacist, homophobic,
sexist, racist, authoritarian fucking pricks
Nationalist, neo-fascist, xenophobic
sexist, racist, authoritarian fucking pricks
All my life
I've been nice but it's time
For me
To make some enemies
I love this stupid world
Even though it sucks
You can blame
The aforementioned ones
Who love to screw the world
love being ignorant
love justification
For their hate
This isn't political
You're just hypocritical
Truth is that you're in a cult
Duped and tricked by criminals
I'm over babysitting these bastards
That don't care for learning
Or who's hurting
They just want their anger and their hatred
to be reflected
No perspective
Yet somehow
I still believe most people have good intentions
But how much goodwill should that get them?

I've been melting
Every single day in the sun
I'm flowing
Out onto the street and down the drain
But it's OK
I feel great
I feel wonderful
Go and fuck yourself
Get away
Another commotion,
Another reflection
I'm sleeping away
My lonely condition
I don't shelter myself
I don't ask for permission
I never wanted all this
So here's my resignation
Yeah, another wasted year
I won't get back
I'm my only enemy
Yeah, I guess I'll sit right here
And face the fact
That I'm a waste in everything
And time ain't on my side
Yeah, another wasted year
I won't get back
Life will be the death of me
Try to fake it
Play the worker bee
At "The Brand Incorporated©"
Accountability to earn my pay
I'll cross my I's
Dot my T's
I'll be wonderful
Go and fuck yourself
I won't change
Another commotion,
Another reflection
I'm sleeping away
My lonely condition
I don't shelter myself
I don't ask for permission
I never wanted all this
So here's my resignation
Yeah, another wasted year
I won't get back
I'm my only enemy
Yeah, I guess I'll sit right here
And face the fact
That I'm a waste in everything
And time ain't on my side (Don't know what's best for me)
Yeah, another wasted year
I won't get back
Life will be the death of me
I'm not in motion
I'm holding the world up with me
Go fuck yourself

Like A Comet
05:47
|

So here i am
Still don't really have a plan
Thought I'd figure it out
Just what I'm doing by now
I'm trapped under ice
I’ve slept here for centuries
And my vice
Is holding my breath underneath
No looking back
I won't waste my life
On the things that I'd rather forget
But I understand
Like an asteroid
I'm leaving my mark before I'm buried under the sand
I cannot afford
a brand new lease on life
Can barely pay for
the ones on the car and the house
I'm in the void
Between the stars and the ground
to float away?
Or let gravity take me down
No looking back (so I forget)
I won't waste my life (waste my life)
On the things that I'd rather forget (so don’t bring it up)
But I understand (to be honest, I still make it up)
Like an asteroid (I’m crashing down)
I'm leaving my mark before I'm buried under the sand
Live like a comet
And die like a star
Live like a comet
And die like a star
It may not be healthy
But it's working so far
To live like a comet
And die like a star
If we are all dust
Then dust we will find
Dust that we're holding
And dust left behind
I still carry a purpose
Like stones round my neck
To leave something bigger
So they won't forget
I don't orbit a body
I don't have a place
Though that may seem lonely
I'm surrounded by greats
But when do I die
I hope it's dramatic
Shining so bright
but hopefully not traumatic
I'm not who I was
But I'm still the same
Different on the surface
But my core hasn't changed
I'm jumping to light speed
I'm raising the bar
I'll float here forever
If that's where you are
I’ll Live like a comet
And die like a star
Live like a comet
And die like a star
It may not be healthy
But it's working so far
To live like a comet
And die like a star

A Hundred Haunted Houses
04:57
|
|||
I've lived in a hundred haunted houses
Sometimes I still see their ghosts
They follow me around
Wherever i go
I see them in the summer
I see them in the cold
But if they ever left me
I'd never feel at home
Home
My thoughts arrive like static
On a broken radio
A cacophony of noises
I'll overthink them all
I'll always find a pattern
A message to be found
But all it is is nonsense
All it is is sound
Sound
I will never be
The happiest human being
But it's worth it all the same
There's a calming sense of comfort
In a random universe
A weight off of my shoulders
If life is meaningless
If there's a truth I'll never find it
And really that's alright
Whatever happens when we die, well
I'm sure it works out fine
I used to scream
And knock at the walls
But no one heard me
I used to be so afraid
Alone in this fortress i made
Locking the door with a chain
I used to be so afraid
In this home i never claimed
I made it my own kind of place
One step more everyday
I used to be so afraid
Yet I remain
I've lived in a hundred haunted houses
Sometimes I still see their ghosts
They follow me around
Wherever i go
I see them in the summer
I see them in the cold
But if they ever left me
I'd never feel at home
And this place isn't so lonely
With all of them around
These halls, they aren't so silent
These thoughts, they aren't so loud
The floor it keeps me grounded
The walls keep the monsters out
And I found its not so scary
Living in a haunted house

It Keeps Getting Worse
04:27
|
|||
Things aren't looking up my friend
I do believe that greed will end the world
In a flash
Everything could cease to be
There would be no memory of us
Just the ash
So if the party's over
If I'm we're all going to smolder
What a shame
Had a real good time
It keeps getting worse
Doesn't it
Yeah it seems that whole worlds full of shit
It keeps getting worse
All the time
But everyone could see the warning signs
It keeps getting worse
Ignorance is no mystery
When the governor wipes the history from the schools
Cause she's a fascist
It seems every step we ever take
Someones got to force their hate inside
And fuel the fires
So if the party's over
If we're all interlopers
What a shame
Could have been much more
No flag stands forever
Nations rise to fall and shatter
Lines we've drawn between us
Never really mattered
So forget your pride in your power, your place
Pledge allegiance to the human race
And maybe we can make it through this mess

Art is a Lie
03:06
|

Hey kids, steal all your music
You don't owe anyone anything
Don’t buy the sponsored bullshit
Pirate all your favorite content
I hope the major labels go bankrupt
And all their money turns to dust
Cause we don't need them anyway
And I hope no one's wrote these chords before
When lawyers, like conquistadors
Can plant their flags and lay claim to these notes
It’s all for the bottom line
Art is a lie
Steal this song for all i care
Distribute it to anywhere
Claim it as your own
Do what you do
I never bought any of this
So for intents and purposes
As far as I'm concerned
It belongs to you
Everyone
Music ain't a business
Or an investment for your funds
Every single rhythm
Belongs to everyone
Every note is borrowed
Every melody is lifted
From the ones that came before us
It's discovered, not invented
It's a language not a product
You can't own a frequency
Fuck the grifts that bought it
Fuck the industry
Art is a lie
Don’t let it die
When I was younger I wanted to be
Like all the musicians I saw on tv
Now that I'm older I'm starting to think
I’d really just rather make somebody feel something

Struggle of the Fool
03:39

Where am I going from here?
What do I have left to fear?
Will it consume me all year?
Where am I going from here?
How will I feel when I'm old?
When all of my story's been told
My memories tinted in gold
How will it feel when I'm old?
Should I bury myself in the stars?
Reality mended my heart
And I don't care where just far
Should I bury myself in the stars?
Where am I going from here?
Now that I've conquered my fears
And it won't consume me this year
Where am I going from here?

When the stone strikes earth
When the storm comes ashore
When we get what we deserve
Will you laugh with me once more
Leave it to me
To be an optimist
About the end
We're electricity
And we'll conquer this
Oblivion
The apocalypse aint enough to do us in
Oceans will rise
Cities will fall
But we'll be alright after all
Me and you will make it to an end
Mountains will move
A thousand feet tall
But we'll be alright after all
You and me may never be again
But we'll never end
When the grass overgrows
Our concrete and steel
When the sun implodes
Well that's just as real
Leave it to me
To be an optimist
About the end
Whatever may be
May we find a way
Over it
The apocalypse aint enough to do us in
Oceans will rise
Cities will fall
But we'll be alright after all
Me and you will make it to an end
Mountains will move
A thousand feet tall
But we'll be alright after all
You and me may never be again
But we'll never end
And we'll never go
And we'll never give it up
And we'll never stop
And we'll never know
When we'll all be done
What have all of our futures become
There's still hope for you
There's hope for me too
There's still hope for you
There's hope for me too
There's still hope for you
There's hope for me too
And there's still hope for you
Oceans will rise
Cities will fall
But we'll be alright after all
We'll be alright after all
We'll be alright after all
You and me may never be again
But we'll never end
For now the world isn't ending
But even if I die
Know I never lost my
Optimistic side
