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

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

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

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!

Spring Forward

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

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

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

She's My Friend
02:56

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

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
