Taillights 03:24

It's 5 o'clock I am out the door and I can't take another minute more I'm filling up on gas Driving fast Straight to 64 I'm burning daylight As the sun is sliding Across the sky Throttle open wide You won't be seeing me no more I will be taillights On a distant horizon I'll drive all night And by the morning light I'll be at your door I'm on my way I'm on my way I don't care if you're far away Hope you don't mind if I stay I'm on my way Please let me stay Please let me stay the night Please let me stay alright We can walk around And talk about This crazy life And hang On every word Please let me stay the night Please let me stay alright We can walk around And talk about This crazy life And hang On every word If that's alright with you I'm on my way I'm on my way I don't care if you're far away Hope you don't mind if I stay I'm on my way Please let me stay Please let me stay

Forever and a Day 03:23
lyrics

I made a promise What it entails is Spending all my time with you If I'm being honest Here comes the plot twist I know what I'm gonna choose I will waste away with you Forever and a day Until you fly away Together we'll find what we're looking Forever and a day Until you fly away Holding in my arms On and On and On and On I've got a secret Don't wanna keep it But I won't spill my guts for you If I had a last wish Not to be selfish But I ain't wasting it on you I've got better things to do Forever and a day Until you fly away I've got to find what I'm looking Forever and a day Until you fly away Holding in my arms On and on and on Deep down inside I wanna know No matter how cliche If you would brave the rain and snow For a vacation in the grave So lets run away and tell me What are we waiting Forever and a day Until you fly away I've got to find what I'm looking Forever and a day Until you fly away Holding in my arms On and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and on

Riptide 01:48
lyrics
buy track
Seeing distant rising tide Nowhere to run no place to hide Filling the horizon and my eyes wide waiting For the shore to wash away And with it what little remains Of this precious time I'm still alive When it comes for me I will dive right in and swim on out to sea Far from this town When it comes my way I'm hoping I get castaway Before I drown Time is like that ocean too It's sink or swim and it swallows you Swirling like the motion of the clock hands ticking Seconds, minutes, hours, days Counting down what time remains Before you stand on shore and face the wave When it comes for me I will dive right in and swim on out to sea Far from this town When it comes my way I'm hoping I get castaway Before I drown I don't wanna go down with this town I don't wanna sink before I make it out I don't wanna go down with this town Wash me away Pull me out to sea Riptide me

Nowhere 03:31
lyrics

I promise I'm fine I know you know I'm lying The story told: you're not buying Abandon hope A busted trope Hearing laughter but it's no joke Stick me with your sickle Authentic two-face nickel Retreat to my lair At the edge of nowhere I'd love to see your face Once you realize The same guts I spilled for you now Are on someone else's floor A badge of honor Hidden by fear Anxiety spikes when you come near And honestly Your honesty Is used to bruise your enemies Stick me with your sickle Authentic two-face nickel Retreat to my lair I'm still going nowhere I'd love to see your face Once you realize The same guts I spilled for you now Are on someone else's floor Revenge is a luxury I can't afford Stick me with your sickle Authentic two-face nickel Retreat to my lair I'm stuck going nowhere I'd love to see your face Once you realize The same guts I spilled for you now Are on someone else's floor Someone else's floor

A Short Theme Song For The Rest Of Your Long Life 00:48
lyrics
buy track
I know some days feel like they just won't end I know some weeks feel like no matter what you do you can't win I know some times it seems Like a never ending bad dream But if you stick to it You'll get through it in the end Yeah I know Life is nothing like a TV show Even so I'd take a bit part if you play the starring role At the start And when the credits roll Here's a theme song for your long life

Oh High Yo 01:07
lyrics

I lost my shit in Ohio I lost my mind on the long ride alone I lost my wallet in Michigan Went back again Then barely had the gas to get home I kind of have half a mind to Find a way to South Carolina And remind you Just how distant we've be Come on I'm coming over Come on Let's go over Boredom is seldom Fun when thinking clear Come on I'm coming over Come on Let's get over done Til the sunshine Starts to reappear Dumb fun isn't fun without you here This Song was long but I got bored and now it's really short

Grand Prize Sleepstakes 01:09
lyrics

Why when I Open up my eyes You're the last thing that I see Days begun Coughing up a lung With your name on the tip of my tongue Wake up I'm dreaming Deep sleep but barely breathing Soaking sheets and choking greets me Good morning my friend Fuck you You nightmare You took my breath near death scare Next time will someone find me Dead in bed instead Do I even care I say goodbye Instead of goodnight to avoid surprise If I close my eyes Will they see the light ever again No not again

Give some Thorazine Cause I need a little help please Your eyes all are on me And I feel them strangling me Just give me some Lorazepam Cause I can't really take it man There's all these eyes on me And I just want to hide you see I I wake up Start living That awful human feeling I wake up Start breathing My pupils are retreating

OK New Wave 03:45
lyrics

Always hurting on the inside Take me back when my eyes were open wide All I wanted was to confide in you But the confidence was so misused Seems like you were leaving quickly As the clock was ticking swiftly Different side of you I'd never seen Creeped up behind before I could duck and leave Everyone knows that you meant well But the things that you used to do Has me confused Confession You are such a mess Confession I am such a mess Confession We are such a mess Confession This is such a I'm not saying that I'm a saint Often acted out with no restraint Perfection impossible Far more than implausible Making fun of things that you liked To get you riled up so edgy yikes Years later the lesson learned Get off the bridges you intend to burn Everyone thinks that I meant well But looking back that's a difficult sell But the things I used to do Has me confused Confession You are such a mess Confession I am such a mess Confession We are such a mess Confession This is such a Discretion Need to decompress Depression Strangling my neck Aggression Am I that upset Confession This is such a Mess Confession You are such a mess Confession I am such a mess Confession We are such a mess Confession This is such a mess Confession You are such a mess Confession I am such a mess Confession We are such a mess Confession This is such a Discretion Need to decompress Depression Strangling my neck Aggression Am I that upset Confession This is such a mess

King of Anxiety 03:55
lyrics

The fault's my own I must confess Because of this I get no rest Close my eyes and let the previews play Before the Broadway production of that day Faded is the memory But still the wound cuts deep They're still watching I can't be surprised Everything is so wrong now Gotta fix it Don't care how Searching for a decent piece of mind Claustrophobic Trapped inside this bind 27 reasons why I need a place to hide Pins and needles Taking shots at my lungs Save yourself the trouble of saving me Let me drown within my apathy Found you and I lost my shit I wouldn't say it was worth it I'm always shaking in my own boots Assume everything isn't the truth I'm lost, trapped in between This palace of anxiety where I am the king Still awake it's 5:09 Got no time to apologize A smile in the darkness might Make me feel alive Save yourself the trouble of saving me Let me drown within my apathy Found you and I lost my shit I wouldn't say it was worth it I'm always shaking in my own boots Assume everything isn't the truth I'm lost, trapped in between This palace of anxiety where I am the king

Whirlwind has taken hold It's took it's toll I can't control My thoughts it seems When I'm alone Are ugly Somebody make it stop I feel like I'm in slow Motion as though I've lost control Of my body It's walking off Without me Oh god please make it stop Oh I need some mind control Cause I can't stop it from thinking about you When I'm drinking alone Right there I drew Conclusions that Without you That this would never stop Oh I need some mind control Cause I can't stop it from thinking about you When I'm drinking alone All alone The room starts spinning And I can't believe It's come to this again Oh I need some mind control Cause I can't stop it from thinking about you When I'm drinking alone Oh I need some mind control I need some mind control I need some mind control

Express myself Myself express Alone again with those thoughts I thought were pressed Way down I've lost All sense of loss My head repeats a beating And I won't get no sleep Push forward Don't stagnate Berating leads to hate Write forewords Explain There's nothing wrong with my poor brain Opinions are So drenched in tar Every shtick they pick sticks oh so quick We've strayed so far It's kinda bizarre How we'll sacrifice our loved ones So we can hang out in bars Fast forward We've stopped There's no cream in this crop Clamoring for just a drop of calm Every day With no delay we're Change estranged Deranged, in pain, but hey At least I got a buck or two from you

If you don't mind I'd like to come on in The world is cold and desperate like the walls we build I bet that you are perfect In every single way Spend a lifetime or be happy with a day My favorite way to go I don't like how any of this feels Suddenly a way out appears And you find that you can't quite decide If you're on the out or inside Forgive my lack of reason for an absent state of mind I think it flying in the sky But I don't know if I should trust my eyes My beating heart exposes The things I cannot change I leave it exposed broken in every single way I don't like how any of this feels Suddenly a way out appears And you find that you can't quite decide If you're on the out or inside Let my Guard down And now you You can tell

This Is Fine 03:57

I'm awake and you're away and I Have never felt so alive Try to see the forest through the trees, you'll see The suffering you caused caused me grief And honestly I don't know why you're here at all But I'm tired of feeling two feet tall And it's obvious to me why they always leave And it's obvious to me why they always leave There's a hole inside my soul and I've Been pounding shots to feel alive Honestly you've done it this time mistakes aren't crimes Unless you repeat them time and again And it's obvious to me why they always leave And it's obvious to me why they always leave Is this what it feels like to be you I understand why you do the things you do But I don't even know why you insist on staying You need to leave and I'm not playing Pack your things and go And it's obvious to me why they always leave And it's obvious to me why they always leave Trying to wake up from this bad dream
