BORED
I think I'm losing my mind, I think I might have amnesia
I think I’m losing control, I think I’ve hit a new all low
There's a warm front coming in, it's drying out all my skin
My throat is sore, quivering, help me remember again please
I think I’ve buried myself, I think I’m six feet underground
I think Ishmael might be right, I think we might be dying out
The earth is caving right in, our pres is celebrating
The kids are calling it quits, there ain't no future in this at all
I'm bored
It’s been nice knowing you, best of luck, watch your ass on that door
Sayonara my friend, I see those toes dangling off the edge
of the western flat earth, I'll take a big plate of dirt
Then wash it down with some oil, and make a helmet of foil,
Sit down in my closet and wait for the whole world to end
I’m bored

HOT SUMMER
In the summer it's always too hot
Take me somewhere, where the people and air are all cool
Is that asking too much?
You tell me I complain a lot and I can’t disagree
It's something I'm trying to change about myself
But it's harder as time goes on
I'm bitter, more than before
It's deafening, who's that face that I see in the mirror
Certainly not me, miserably angry
In the winter its always too cold, fucking freezing
I'm finding excuses to why I am never wrong, I am always so wrong
Give me a break and I'll give at least one whole day
Free from the lead that's my weight im dragging
Meet me at 4026, we can speak about good things happening
in our lives and be free from the shit surrounding, always, everything

SPARE ME
I’d like to go away
I’d like to take you with me, too
Cast some sails and float away
To outer space, way pass the moon
This crummy shit's got me gunked up
Rather than sitting here in order
stirring at a pot as we bring ourselves to boil
And we just cook until we're dead, until we're gone
Not a good look
I don't care
Spare me, please
My knees, they bleed
My heart depletes
So I‘m running out of room for a patient attitude
I bet you think I’m full of shit
I bet you think I wouldn't dare
And while you mostly might be right
I’d like to bid on the contraire
I'll throw a fit until I'm dead, until gone

NEW DAY
Who doesn't like watching a sunset
Theend of the day, melting away
You're filthy, you're tired and everything is
breathtaking, beautiful
There's no point in fighting if it's something you cannot win
The night falls, the wind blows, the sun brings a total new day
A brand new day
What good is throwing a fit when there's so much bullshit on your face
What good is ruling it all when all of the world wishes you dead
There's no sense denying something so undeniable
In the morning the sun rises and it brings a total new day
A brand new day

ESCAPE ARTIST
Rip my eyes from my head
Bury them way underground
I’m tired of seeing all the ugly things all around
I need a ride to take a break
I need a crash course, someone to take me and make
an escape artist
I like when the seasons change
I like when the flowers bloom
I think that progress is pretty goddamn cool
I like to kick, I like to scream
I like to stand up, sometimes I just need to be
an escape artist
Some things are finally changing
like we’ve been waiting our whole lives
I’m tired of having conversations with a force field brick wall mind
While it's probably necessary, my sanity might just take flight
If I don't step away tonight and try to just unwind

LIKE A CULT
When waking up is the hardest part of every day
Can't really say that I got much to complain
You're waking up from a nightmare with all the names
of your ex-lovers on the tip of your tongue
I'll pick you up, 8 o’clock, we can exchange ideas
About the world and about how everything's fucked
And watch the past block our path towards growing up at all
Close our eyes, count to three and then just jump
Like a cult, we can be anything at all
I'm weighing steaks trying to frame up all of the problems
And how they fit, how I fit, how we all fit
"It only ends when it ends” that's just too dark sounding
Give me a chance, I'll do anything I can
Like a cult, we can be anything at all

SICKSICKSIX
We were going through a time, but we were standing in a crowd no one could see
Used the wrong things just to mask it, in the morning it was quite obviously still there
So I searched all of my heart to see if there was anyhting worth saying
But then my pockets turned up empty, brain went numb, nothing
We were driving your car, music so loud it was impossible to see
and then I looked a little closer and noticed that your face started to bleed
And I thought to myself
I am not profound. I have some angst laying around, and some people I love
Let's start this countdown from ten
Every number closer to one brings your body closer to calm
This isn't working for me
How is it working for you?
We were going through a time but we were standing in a crowd no one could see
We were driving in your car, music so loud it was impossible to see
And I'm thinking to myself
I see you suffer, I'll grab you by the hand
I am not profound, I have some angst laying around, and some people I love

Vietnam

VIETNAM
It’s been running through my brain
The idea of abandoning everything in our lives from the last ten years
Quit our jobs and cut these ropes
Tying us to everything we've grown to love, to hate, love to hate everything
Make that one and a half hour drive
Tell you, "pack all your bags, say goodbye to all of your family and friends
I've got two one-way tickets to Vietnam, and we'll never go back home"
Because I think that it'd be nice, all our nihilistic tendencies might thrive
Far from this plastic life-sucking state, attached to an even more fucked place
I'd imagine we'd erase all that and be floating through Ha Long for ever and ever
“Up the punx” a grand exit, I'd say, skipping town for another country
If we're homesick there's facetime add sighs, 2018 lovers running on high
I'm just so sick of the drama and news, I think I'd much rather run away with you
I know that's crazy, but it’s what I like, take my hand because we're going to Vietnam

SOCIAL ME
Oh shit! Are you fucking kidding me?
All those big word back insults that you're typing with the tip of those things
So smart, so very important,
and it may come as no surprise when I promise you that I couldn't care less
There’s only two things I've know for sure
in this ugly fucked up twisted world
No one really gives a shit - the more you know, the less you know
Oh, no! I think I’ve killed that social me
Someone call a doctor, I don't know if I am going to be alright
Ok, I’m feeling fine, I’m so detached
And I think I know myself and pretty soon I think I’m going to crack
Put my hands above my head,
take a breath and dive back in
No one really gives a shit - the more you know, the less you know
Blasting through the sky
from the other side of town
A beaken says “I know best”
and teaches us something we never knew or thought we should know
No one really gives a shit - the more you know, the less you know

YOU'RE MEAN
We've got no reason for even speaking
You're toxic lava, I'm just melting away now
So take out the trash and wash your hands, man
About to get a whole lot lighter than I was
Must say, it's feeling great
Cut a million pound dead weight
Choking me out, yeah, that is you
Didn't have to wait this long
I could have sang this song
So long ago, I guess it's better late than never
The thing about it, it's hard to see it
When you feel so stuck, your feet cemented to the ground
And now time is moving right on
And you don't got room for any of this in your life
Thought maybe I'd regret it later on, so then I
went out on a limb and did it anyways
Must say, it's feeling great
Cut a million pound dead weight
Choking me out, yeah, that is you
Didn't have to wait this long
I could have sang this song
So long ago, I guess it's better late than never

NAMES
There's nothing left to say as words just ricochet
off your consciousness, bouncing around through the air, never landing
I went downtown with Jax and met up with some friends
to walk around through the city
Enough is enough
Armored men and cardboard signs
Facemasks and a hot beating sun
as a canister flies through the air
It mocks the reasons why
anyone was there,
and verified and furthered the reasons
why this whole thing needs attention
Another one dies at the hands of a union's gold child
Say their names until the sky lights on fire
