Out of My Head
03:23

I've got a few things that define me
I make bad jokes with awful timing
I'm not young anymore but I'm trying
To get my shit gathered without whining
I can't get out of my head
Can't stop overthinking or take a breath
Just can't get out of my head
Since when did all of my decisions
Become the last I'll ever make
I don't need anyone's opinion
I'm gonna learn from my mistakes
This second-guessing is my second-nature
Wish I could stop this disgusting behavior
I'm feeling guilty, so fucking anxious
Close my eyes let it all just slip away

Broken Hands
03:51

So here we are
Guiding ships by shooting stars
Passing in the night
Petrified that we'll lock eyes
They'll see through this disguise and know
That it's all a lie, it's all a show
Just a distorted voice breaking through a beat-up radio
Come on, let's go
Only broken hands can hold callous hearts
We hold false perceptions of who we are
All the masks we wear and all the pretty crowns
Won't be needed if the walls come down
Go ahead and fight it like a demon
No battle's won without a little bleeding
Sparked by a frantic fever dream, incite yourself
You're not alone, I know it feels sometimes
You want to hide and block out the shine
Abandon illusions of your useless pride, despite yourself
Down, down we go
Down together
Down in smoke

Kill the Meter
02:55
|
|
||
Well, I remember the time we jumped that fence
I scraped my knee, you ripped your pants
Fueled by chemicals and new love
We're gonna show the dead what we're made of
Shake them from their ice cold slumber
To enjoy the last warm night of the summer
The night started out at a punk rock show
We blew a couple drinks and downed a bag of blow
Got dirty on the car ride back home
The driver pretended, but he had to know
Told him to kill the meter, that's when things got blurry
But I recall a romantic romp through the cemetery
So, if we never grow old
We can stay young here together
Never gonna be told
Just how this story ends
Together we'll be brave
What is strong can never break
Take my hand, we'll walk through this life together
I'm feeling haunted
Like a song getting stuck in your head
It's choking me and I can barely breath
If this is the way we go, it's the way to go
A splendid, happy death
Entangled in the bonds of eternety

Tiny Fingers
02:57

|

He can fuck things up by lifting up his tiny little fingers
Let's take the streets, let's start a fight
Through fascist ties, he'll lead us to an end of civil rights
Narcasistic fucking troglodyte
Where's the empathy where do we go from here
Where's the hope we held so dear
Stand up
You've got a voice, be loud and don't back down
It's life and death, no time for rest, let's make a raucous sound
Gotta make it known we won't condone the actions of a tyrant
Protest their war chest motives, by means of Molotov riots
Dear Mr. President
We are not who you represent
You couldn't be more disconnected
Policies based on faith
Now you're putting up walls to keep us safe
We've never felt more unprotected
Where's the empathy where do we go from here
Where's the hope we held so dear
Why can't we just hold ourselves to a higher standard?
It seems our moral compass is abandoned
Fuck it all, bombs away!

Another Accident
03:04
|
|
||
Oh my god, I can't feel a fucking thing
I bet you'd laugh, yeah I bet you'd stare
You're pointing out blame without taking your share
Directing guilt squarely on me, oh my god
I can barely breathe, I still can't feel a thing
So, you left 'cause you never got your way
Packed up your bags, fled without a trace
Can't get your fill since your first fucking taste
Ignoring my pleas, my begging to stay
You turned up tail to hide lies on your face, a shaming disgrace
Is this a way to mask all of your fears?
A clever disguise draped around your ears
Never wanted you as an enemy
Yeah, every now and then, we'd disagree
About subtleties we'd find, but surely knew they'd mend in time
If you wanted to be a friend to me
Why'd you seek out some sort of victory
Falling short and blaming those that had your back and loved you most
Every first take can't turn out the way you want
You might not get every little thing you need
But if you just kick back and have some fun
Breath, relax, you're not the only one who's overthinking
Oh my god, Here we go again, another accident
I knew I I should have known better, but oh my god

If We Were Vampires
02:56
|
|
||
It's not the long, flowing dress that you're in
Or the light coming off of your skin
The fragile heart you protected for so long
Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong
It's not your hands searching slow in the dark
Or your nails leaving love's watermark
It's not the way you talk me off the roof
Your questions like directions to the truth
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get forty years together
But one day I'll be gone
Or one day you'll be gone
If we were vampires and death was a joke
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
And laugh at all the lovers and their plans
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand
Maybe time running out is a gift
I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift
And give you every second I can find
And hope it isn't me who's left behind
