Verse 1:
Stuck standing sand to my knees
beads of sweat dripping off my cheeks
Midnight Booze slipping through my claws
Door hanging open
A broken Jaw
Bringing out all the stops
I'm staying awake till my body drops
Chorus:
The last year
I've been partying with hippies
trying to get my life together
I think I fell in love
but it could have been the weather
it's now or never
Let's all try to feel a little bit better now
verse 2:
Yeah the west is calling our name
this windy valley doesn't feel the same
locked out of these little rooms
holding onto photos out of frame
yeah the west is calling our name
Waking up to the sound of trains
flipped switches off and on
yeah I'm not finished till it's all gone
Chorus:
The last year
I've been partying with hippies
trying to get my life together
I think I fell in love
but it could have been the weather
it's now or never
let's all try and feel a little bit better now

I wanna play all your favorite songs for you
Write the ones that you sing along to
Right the ones who did you wrong
who never got it all
Immature will always fall
I wanna sing all your favorite songs to you
and you will sing them
and you will sing them strong too
The ones that all become true
if you let them
they don't need correcting
Chorus:
We'll cover this and that
clean out the garage
between the future and the past
Cook up something good
share a bottle of something strong
and exchange some laughs

Verse 1:
Losing hair like a dog
in the heat of summer
Giving my brain less strain
so I don't turn back into a bummer
I'm just happy to be here
I just wanted to be clear
Chorus:
I'm done drinking during the week
My anxiety has hit its peak
Your teeth still remind me
that the future isn't always bleak
Verse 2:
and i'll see you when I get back
Not going for long so just relax
gotta get out before I die
not something permanent
I just gotta try
Chorus:
I'm done drinking during the week
My anxiety has hit its peak
Your teeth still remind me
that the future isn't always bleak

Verse 1:
I've been looking for a partner for some time
the other ones I've found
have failed to pull off the crime
Just looking for a compliment to the perfect rhyme
and I think that you showed up
right on time
even though
Chorus:
Even though that you aren't necessarily mine
When I wake up
You're the first thing n my mind
and I'm getting a little nervous
trembling at your touch
every time
you come by
Even though you aren't mine
Verse 2:
And I know my thoughts
have gone array
I'm putting too much pressure
on this child
Wondering if you're sticking by my side
yeah it's hard
but my feelings I will hide
Chorus:
Even though that you aren't necessarily mine
When I wake up
You're the first thing n my mind
and I'm getting a little nervous
trembling at your touch
every time
you come by
Even though you aren't mine

Running through the yard
don't hit any trees
gotta get back home
with grass stains on my knees
running through the house
Piano
TV playing Mickey Mouse
and the record is saying something about
getting together
Chorus:
Getting together x4
Verse 2:
You can smell it all
The food is stacked tall
But the basement holds us all

Running through the yard
don't hit any trees

Stop

Verse 1:
We can wait while the car warms up
In the mean time please refill my cup
kill the time with another glass
I can fill up on wine but I can't fill up on gas
and we'll sit here out of the cold
head to the car when we're feeling bold
I'm not feeling too old
Till the morning rolls
Verse 2:
You can stay if you want
I've been pulling publicity stunts
They cut me off
They were worried about the cost
Looking in your words for a hidden measure
double check it all for good measure
I'm not feeling too old
till the morning rolls
Verse 3:
and we'll sit here out of the cold
head to the car when we're feeling bold
I'm not feeling too old
Till the morning rolls

Verse 1:
I don't know
what to do with you
with your long bangs
and your low top shoes
I feel black and blue
but I'm not sore
better stretch
I'm getting ready for war
Chorus:
Rest in Pieces all my friends
Stuck in space no ears to lend
Rest in Pieces all my friends
I'll be Van Gogh
with ears to send
Verse 2:
I don't know
what to do with them
I could sew it up
or I could just pretend
I feel black and blue
I look black and blue
and I'm moving slow
You could strike first
or we could go toe to toe
Chorus:
Rest in Pieces all my friends
Stuck in space no ears to lend
Rest in Pieces all my friends
I'll be Van Gogh
with ears to send

Werewolf Whistlin'

Verse 1:
Howling all night
That's quite all right
I'm keeping up well
Holding you tight
keeping your mind off the flight
and I can't tell
What's on your mind
Chorus:
You're not even here
I don't think I'm being clear
I caught speechless fear
You're asleep in bed
You live in my head
Verse 2:
I'll keep losing fights
cause I'm always wrong
When you can't stay right
Wondering what's wrong
instead of asking
I'll write a song
It won't take long
Chorus:
You're not even here
I don't think I'm being clear
I caught speechless fear
You're asleep in bed
You live in my head

Verse1:
I've been taking adderol
for weeks
It's getting messy
like your pissing on the seat
when I clean it my hands get dirty
Concerning myself with legalities
Chorus:
I've been quitting cigarettes
and losing sleep
I've been counting all my blessings
instead of counting sheep
x2
Verse 2:
I've been detoxing awhile
drinking kept me busy
work began to pile
books are getting balanced
I'm grooming my talents
cover letters are out of style
Chorus:
I've been quitting cigarettes
and losing sleep
I've been counting all my blessings
instead of counting sheep

Criminal:
Verse 1:
Products of our own environment
all aimed for early retirement
but it doesn't always
work out that way
turn around in a culdesac
Feels like a dead end to stay
Chorus:
I know it is your home but
it's not betrayal to get up and leave
you'll be ready when you're ready
This decisions build diseases
Verse 2:
Familiar has it's perks
you gotta do the math
weigh out what seems worse
anxiety builds
a shelter of fear
the other options don't look like
much from here
Chorus:
I know it is your home but
it's not betrayal to get up and leave
you'll be ready when you're ready
This decisions build diseases
PRETEND:
Chorus:
Well I can't pretend I can be your only friend
Well I'm not when I walk in
Figured I'd get you outta my head
Well I can't shed skin, not as well as once I did
And I'm not, don't fall too fast,
Give me one more reason to laugh
Verse 1:
Insecure and out of tune
scraping by my skin is raw and ruined
fate decided
but it's not even real
we're just a grain of sand
no one knows how they feel
doomed to be
who we'll always be
apologies
how I'm always me
Chorus:
Well I can't pretend I can be your only friend
Well I'm not when I walk in
Figured I'd get you outta my head
Well I can't shed skin, not as well as once I did
And I'm not, don't fall too fast,
Give me one more reason to laugh
Verse 2:
Can't hide your eyes
what's under your shell
it could be your demise
I can already tell
absorb
don't get too lost
peace of mind
at any cost
Doomed to be
who we're going to be
at least you know
it's guaranteed
