Passing Phase
03:34
|

Sunshine peaks through my tall blinds
I cant make it go away
And though I’d like to stay inside
Staring blankly like a zombie
Is this a joke? It better be
(breathe in)
Letting go wont make it right
(breathe in)
Keep in touch, if you dont mind
Getting good at saying bye
(breathe in)
See you around, sometime
Spend my weekends in recluse
Days to weeks, til then who knows
Im shook up and Ive had enough
I wont let you be a passing phase
A promise broken, our seperate ways
Youre full of shit but so am I
(breathe in)
Letting go wont make it right
(breathe in)
Keep in touch, if you dont mind
Getting good at saying bye
(breathe in)
How have you been?
Ive been fine
Nothing changes, its just fine
At least thats what I tell myself
To make the days go by quick
So I can get back to my bed
Sleep until oh god knows when
And I wont forget to close those blinds

Chain Reaction
04:55
|
|||
|
I watch these silly things slip away
And melt into the ho hum drone of the fan
When suddenly everything seems overwhelming
And Im the only one with the brains to shut it down
Thoughts scatter and hide
Like a cat clamoring
To get away
From the sound of a thousand glass plates
Shattering
When they all fall down
These situations
Driving madness
This situation
Will drive me wild
Waste my time
These chain reactions stay in my mind
Stealing, fine
Ill wither slowly, softly weeping
A metaphor, it would seem
But everythings not aways deep
Enough to keep your head in a cloud
Filled with crippling doubt
About how youll ever
Figure it out
Waste my time
These chain reactions stay in my mind
Stealing, fine
Ill wither slowly, softly weeping
Im not running away
Im not running away
Im not running, I swear Im not running away
(steal my mind, nothings fine)
A metaphor, it would seem
But everythings not aways deep
Enough to keep your head in a cloud
Filled with crippling doubt
About how youll ever
Figure it out
Waste my time
These chain reactions stay in my mind
Stealing, fine
Ill wither slowly, softly weeping
(x2)
Slowly, softly steal my mind

Spoiled Rotten

Cant pay my bilils,
So Im a cry-baby
Stuck in my head
Just another
Failed example of your entitlement
Paycheck to paycheck,
Im feeling meek
Wasting my time
Work for nothing
I cant buy it back
But Id settle for…
Let me exist in my space
Without your ideas on whats right
All cozied up to the idea
Of a dream
YEAH
Youre spoiled rotten
YEAH YEAH YOU
Youre spoiled rotten
Play by the rules!
Keep your mouth shut!
tHeSe EnTiTlEd BrAtS aRe KiLlInG aPpLeBeEs
Wearing doc martens
Dressed in all black
The grim reaper kills another place to buy that
I just want a semi dry basement
And neighbors who wont complain
(another noise complaint)
A big front porch where we can get drunk
(YEAH)
Or maybe just a job thatll pay my bills
YEAH
Youre spoiled rotten
YEAH YEAH YOU
Youre spoiled rotten
I dont want a porche
I dont need a yacht
I dont need this stupid phone either
My modest needs arent a priority
So Ill just lay here and drown in my debt
I just want a semi dry basement
And neighbors who wont complain
(another noise complaint)
A big front porch where we can get drunk
(YEAH)
Or maybe just a job thatll pay my bills
YEAH
Youre spoiled rotten
YEAH YEAH YOU
Youre spoiled rotten
YEAH
Youre spoiled rotten
YEAH YEAH YOU
Youre spoiled rotten

Theres something on my mind
And I cant seem to get it out
Youre a big talking tough guy
With nothing to lose
Stumble drunk through your life
Yeah, you couldnt change the course
What better way to pass the time
Than going to a show
BIG ego LITTLE brain
You snorted up all your cocaine
Now its time to show
Just how sad you are
BIG ego LITTLE brain
Your lifes a waste all down the drain
Now its time to run the show
The Big Bad Rockstar
Things start to fall apart
Outta control
It feels so good not to care
Until your feet hit the ground
But nobodies impressed by your shitty tattoos
Or your bad attitude
Your braindead opinions on everything
And you dont need another drink,
Maybe try therapy
BIG ego LITTLE brain
You snorted up all your cocaine
Now its time to show
Just how sad you are
BIG ego LITTLE brain
Your lifes a waste all down the drain
Now its time to run the show
The Big Bad Rockstar
People arent crutches
But you cant stand on your own
But you dont care, yeah you dont mind
Its fun wasting someone elses time
Youre such a tiny little man

Hot Mess
03:05
|

My jeans always fit a little looser by sunday
With any chance Ill pass out and wake up in two days
My minds moving at a million miles per second
If someone dont wake me i just might lose my shit
My mind keeps spinning, in a grave
Cant seem to find a way
Out of this mess
I call a life
Ill go to bed
And hope
I dont feel like this tomorrow
And it ALLLLLL goes away
But i cant seem
To find my way home
One one thousand, two one thousand
Screw it, I cant wait
This endless devastation is a party
Thats all for me
My mind keeps spinning, in a grave
Cant seem to find a way
Out of this mess
I call a life
Ill go to bed
And hope
I dont feel like this tomorrow
And it ALLLLLL goes away
But i cant seem
To find my way home
Make up your mind
Make up your mind
Make up your mind
Wake up
Ill go to bed
And hope
I dont feel like this tomorrow
And it ALLLLLL goes away
But i cant seem
To find my way home

Final Entry
05:37
|

|
These words will surely be
My very final entry
You will find me slowly drifting
Blue as the sea
New clothes of plastic sticking
My jaw once clenched now slacking
This constant blaze inside me
Is finally drenched
Slowly drift into your conscience
Tune out everything
Cos youre the only one fighting
This battle alone
