NOLA 02:26
Spent all my money on Bourbon Street Walked through the rain to Armstrong Park Left worries on Dauphine & stumbled to Burgundy Some lessons have to leave a mark Beg the city to impair Paranoia from nowhere A quick carefree red-eye Not just love me or die Without a moment to prepare, New Orleans I'll be there Kicked bottles and morals with stripes on my feet Dealing on Basin & St. Louis Street Just looking for an option to get by I think about these things I do All Hallows cold breeze flutter through And breed the mischief that my carelessness provides Spawn of recklessness and care Creaking noises dim the air A quick carefree red-eye Not just love me or die Without a moment to prepare, New Orleans I'll be there Oh, won't you give a kiss Enough to build a dream on Oh yea Oh, give it all it needs The kind of love that bleeds Oh, please Beg the city to impair Spawn of recklessness and care A quick carefree red-eye Not just love me or die Without a moment to prepare, New Orleans I'll be there

Held Down 03:04
HEY The line we carve from reality Is the difference between you and me What's real what's fake? could it be mistake or human vanity I don't know for sure but if there's a cure, there's a price to meet Well I can't see in front of me If there's a light then its hard to see And if not then its fine with me while I'm held down Static entertainment frozen treats I don't care if its normal best make it cheap Culture slaughter and cancer in the air If no one gives a f*ck then I don't care Well it's nice to know the know With pain comes chance to grow So best go on away from the flow while I'm held down The gestures nice but no one cares They're living life just to compare The pretty smile on your troubled face till the day you meet that lone embrace Who really knows if it all means well Are we closer to heaven or are we closer to hell? Or is perception all to blame we're not all the same Paradox unmanned In sanity inflamed While I'm held down Static entertainment frozen treats I don't care if it's brutal better keep it neat Culture slaughter and cancer in the air If no one gives a f*ck then I don't care The gestures nice but no one cares They're living life just to compare The pretty smile on your troubled face till the day you meet that lone embrace Who really knows if it all means well Are we closer to heaven or are we closer to hell? Or is perception all to blame we're not the same Paradox unmanned Insanity inflamed While I'm held down

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry You don't know how lovely you are I had to find you, tell you I need you Tell you I set you apart Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions Oh, let's go back to the start Running in circles, coming up tails Heads on a science apart Nobody said it was easy It's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard Oh, take me back to the start I was just guessing at numbers and figures Pulling the puzzles apart Questions of science, science and progress Do not speak as loud as my heart So tell me you love me, come back and haunt me Oh and I rush to the start Running in circles, chasing our tails Coming back as we are Nobody said it was easy Oh, it's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard I'm going back to the start

Dog Rash 03:19
I steal my first breath before I ever get a chance to realize it Hop up to those first steps, pero a fuerza ni los Nikes entran And I’m all on my own, alone So I’m guessing that I probably like it So I’ll choose not to end but to begin Slow grow the brown leaves More flow the Dao brings The seasons squeeze through concrete from Soto to Valley with a Style so rare it’s breaking necks like Teocalli stairs Rundown be fly like O’Hare there’s no comparing it so beware of The crack of a loud snare, & cadence for foul flare & OG like a blue plate on a 59’ Bel Air Yeah, the future came and stays coming the same This shit is over if it don’t change So I steal my first breath before I ever get a chance to realize it Hop up to those first steps, pero a fuerza ni los Nikes entran And I’m all on my own, alone So I’m guessing that I probably like it So I’ll choose not to end but to begin Vi el mundo arder delante de mi No lo creí, pero no temerías infierno si supieras que estás ahí La sabiduría es paz A veces los lugares que sales son mas importante en que los que entras Confused, confused, confused Working all week just to put on those boogie shoes Like blood letting just to feel some sort of relief Walking away above a cuff & a crease If I’m my own hell then I’m my own peace So I steal my first breath before I ever get a chance to realize it Hop up to those first steps, pero a fuerza ni los Nikes entran And I’m all on my own, alone So I’m guessing that I probably like it So I’ll choose not to end but to begin

Yellow Truck 03:01
When life gets hard and ambition runs thin, sometimes there’s meaning in thinking about nothing That’s the way I justify the red circles round my eyes & why I over analyze I got my mind on ready, my body at ease, hiding that bud smell with Hawaiian breeze Febreeze I don’t care what the neighbors say Smoke cloud so thick it’s starting to give rain 2AM and we barely passed Van Nuys 18 more hours to go looks like we’ll be driving till sunrise And we won’t stop moving even if we could Lost for four hours on the way to Punx In The Woods Met an elk that almost turned us into minced meat, yeah we Chilled with Tacoma punx up in the trees, oh We were cruising to Seattle to meet with Mister Blank With no direction, no care and a quarter tank So, Mary won’t you please kiss me goodnight It’s the only way I can feel right I don’t think I’m wasting my time, I just plan to live before I die Like I’m on nonstop holiday everyday Sitting on my bed with my Jetty & guitar, remembering that cap of psilocybin hiding in the car Best believe if the scale went from 1-10 I’m at 11, high as heaven listening to Zeppelin And I don’t really care if I have a bad trip Kuz if the journeys better than the destination, learn from it And take it slow Best ask yourself what you really want to know Can’t break no bread till you make some dough Free time don’t exist so let’s go, go, go, oh, I can see the blue skies so vividly when I open my eyes and forget all the stress that life’s been throwing at me It’s human nature to do as you please Uninformed opinions are just like disease to us all Yeah, I’m just trying to have a little fun playing music with my friends and traveling like we’re on the run From Barkingham Palace to Gilman St. DIY till the day that I die on my feet So, Mary won’t you please kiss me goodnight It’s the only way I can sleep tight I don’t think I’m wasting time, I just plan to live before I die Kuz it could be our last day on this earth any day Woooo!

I don′t know where I'm going or where I′ve been The difference between love and sin is so hard to see Or maybe babe I'm just a mess I hope you know I try my best To be what you don't see And if you think that I′m complaining Then you don′t get what I'm saying Or maybe you don′t know me Kuz as true as day turns night I've never backed down from a fight From California to Venice, Italy Yeah it took Xanax, Vodka and a Cheeba Chew The last time I talked to myself seriously Is that the problem, or is it therapy Preserve my thoughts in mason jars And hide them well like Escobar Till the day I choose to define their coarse Kuz though I′ll charge my phone here at the bar And spend a cold night in my car My nightmares aren't much different than yours So let′s put it all on black, if we lose Its a pity If we're gana burn a bridge why not destroy the whole city Its pheromones and dust to dust Marigolds and wanderlust And I wouldn't plan to change a damn thing It felt like I was running in circles to find out who I really wanted to be It took finding you to see Darling the rain pours cold but it don′t hurt no one (hurt no one) And don′t let the sun rising early go and kill our fun (kill our fun) Kuz if you're in doubt Feeling in danger Or looking at yourself and seeing a stranger I hope you know I think of you every night Here under all the downtown city lights We think we have it figured out We think we have it figured out We think we have it figured out Till we find out we don′t know a thing Sometimes you don't know who you are Sometimes you don′t know who you are Sometimes you don't know who you are But if that time comes I′ll tell you everything I was running in circles to find out who I really wanted to be It took finding you to see Darling the rain pours cold but it don't hurt no one And don't let the sun rising early go and kill our fun Kuz if you′re in doubt Feeling in danger Or looking at yourself and seeing a stranger I hope you know I think of you every night Here under all the downtown city lights

All I Got 01:51
I'm played the fool and it seems so fair Seven day work weeks got me aching everywhere What's coursing though my mind is stressing me out non stop The way I see it is all that I got I'd be lying if I said that I didn't care F*ck the world, the creatures who run it and everyone who stops to stare At us chilling on cinder blocks, getting drunk in the parking lot The way I see it is all that I got I hope that one day life will become easy Day drinking on Sundays inhaling the fresh graffiti It's either fireworks to gunshots Rough diamonds or jagged rocks The way I see it is all that I got It's all that I got It's all that I got It's all that I got I hope that one day life will become easy Day drinking on Sundays inhaling the fresh graffiti It's either fireworks to gunshots Rough diamonds or jagged rocks The way I see it is all that I got It's all that I got It's all that I got It's all that I got

A.G.M.D. 01:19
One foot in the grave feeling halfway alive While I be stu-stu-stu-stu-stuttering every noun that's in my alibi True to myself and to what I've become Knew nothing else but to bleed every note that I strum, screaming All false idols best get out the way We are the dimming light, crown of thorns, your time slipping away Nowhere to hide, no time to run The end of days has just begun Don't be afraid, we are the one The rising moon and the setting sun

Big Bear 02:40
Woke up this morning seeing faces on the ceiling by my fan They say I'm conflicted with thoughts I'll never understand About myself, so I start my day pretending I'm ready To turn a page & help myself become a better me I'll stray through the nightmares until the morning haze Just to build the strength to say I'm doing fine when I'm not ok From darkest nights to the darker daze The bars on my windows resonate the boundaries made up in my head Still I trust my demons with secrets I could never tell my friends At least not sober Now I'm a bad day older & living to start again The pain goes away, but comes back to me every now and again I want you to know Before I go It's impossible to let me down At night when the lights of the city go out and let the stars shine like pretty teardrops in the sky I let them share that coldness with me I'll stray through the nightmares until the morning haze Just to build the strength to say I'm doing fine when I'm not ok from darkest nights to the darker daze I'll stray through the nightmares until the morning haze Just to build the strength to say I'm doing fine when I'm not ok From darkest nights to the darker daze

Hate me when you want Hate me now instead I know hate she's telling me I'm her greatest friend Hate me when you want Hate me now instead I know hate she's telling me I'm her greatest friend Walking down the corner of Main & 3rd where I first learned Life's too short to waste a moment angry and concerned I know that we all got our problems, and first come ain't first served But I myself can take what I deserve And I can see in your complexion a dash of ditzy misdirection Best find yourself kuz once your gone its painful to return Banality is so contagious & I'm 12 steps form the changes The tragedy is that I'm still not concerned Hate me when you want Hate me now instead I know hate she's telling me I'm her greatest friend New flavor that you want call it mesquite Stood away from the beef like beyond meat How I made it this far is beyond me Dodged questions like they're cracks in the concrete With lips sweet like a muscatel and tongue quick to manifest a spell If wrong feels right how am I suppose to tell? This thread of hectic light and bones Is geometrics and silicone I bet that you crave the unknown a new world a New Tone the doomsdays on your phone Green pastures and blue seas We're burning this new scene, like asking some good weed and killing em Straight Krillin em, kicking their dome Until their frontal lobe is discharge dripping outta their skull Hate me when you want Hate me now instead I know hate she's telling me I'm her greatest friend Hate me when you want Hate me now instead I know hate she's telling me I'm her greatest friend I'm her greatest friend I'm her greatest friend

We All Go 03:31
Driving down the fifteen to the hotel, the bags were packed up in the back Stereo was playing punk rock sounds and excitement grew from track to track Three hours down all seemed so well, time to grab the keys and to unpack Then I heard a ringing coming from my cell Kind of hard to think I'm already wearing black I think back to the times we spent being misfit youth never thinking it would end It's hard enough to find yourself Where do you look when you lose another friend? Although we all go when we're meant to go, I'm still sad that you left Although we all go when we're meant to go, I'm still sad that you left Although we all go, yeah I know we all go Although we all go when we're meant to go, I'm still sad that you left Well, back in Sereno I paid no mind to the facts of time But now I sit alone and think about when We would walk through Main Street and eat A five dollar pizza that fed a group of eight of us Nowadays, though the buildings have changed My memories will remain until the day we meet again My friend I'm so afraid of what comes after this, But it helps me hold together when I sit alone and reminisce Of cutting class and walking through the quad Now it feels so odd every time I hear Longview I've never believed in god But I'd walk through hell just to know there was a heaven for you Although we all go when we're meant to go, I'm still sad that you left Although we all go when we're meant to go, I'm still sad that you left Although we all go, yeah I know we all go Although we all go when we're meant to go, I'm still sad that you left Although we all go when we're meant to go, I'm still sad that you left Although we all go when we're meant to go, I'm still sad that you left Although we all go, yeah I know we all go Although we all go when we're meant to go, I'm still sad that you left Although we all go when we're meant to go, I'm still sad that you left Although we all go when we're meant to go, I'm still sad that you left Although we all go, yeah I know we all go Although we all go when we're meant to go, I'm still sad that you left
