I’m gonna piss on the roof cuz it’s raining
And it’ll wash away by the morning
I’m gonna have one more beer
I’ll be sleeping by the time it hits me
Then I’ll have some wild lucid dreams
Where I’m flying or hanging out with my friends
Or having sex with someone I’ve never met
Outside of dream world
Then I’m gonna write a love song for you
It will be better than any tune you have ever whistled to
You’re bound to swoon, cuz I wrote it just for you
Then I’m gonna call you when I’m not fucked up
I’m gonna try to find a brand new job or maybe two
I’m used to juggling my life around anyway
I’m gonna try to not think of you
I’m gonna get stoned and watch cartoons
With some of my friends
We’ll laugh about the shit we’re all caught up in

Don’t drink before you drive
Don’t smoke marijuana
Don’t tan in tanning beds or you’ll get melanoma
Don’t trust the politicians or the lawyers or the cops
Make sure you only buy organic they contaminate the crops
Look at the garden I grew
Look at the places I went
Look at the friends I have
Look at my favorite things
Look at these pictures with inspirational phrases
Listen to this song listen to my opinion
Work sucks, waking up sucks, everything sucks
Who wants to chill tonight?
Cause I’ve got twenty more bucks til tomorrow
And it’s thirsty Thursday night
We can go pick up some six-packs
And watch the sunset on my porch
We can drink and drown our sorrows away
And come back again for more
Don’t eat any processed food
Don’t chew gum with aspartame, did you know that it can fuck up your brain and make you go insane?
Can you come out to the show tomorrow?
We can drink and rage!
Can you share my band?
Help me get some likes for my page
I think I’m getting jaded
With all of this pseudo-interaction
I can backspace and caption my thoughts
Into a digital format to get my point across
Work sucks, waking up sucks, everything sucks
Who wants to chill tonight?
Cuz I’ve got 20 more bucks til tomorrow
And it’s thirsty Thursday night
But you suck and I suck too and our friends suck
So I think I’ll have to pass
Plus I’m broke as a joke til tomorrow
And I’m almost out of gas
How will I get to work in the morning
If my gas tank is underneath E?
I got maybe five or six bucks left from my last twenty
I gotta scrape the ice off the windshield
Because it’s snowing and I can’t fucking see
How I can make my dreams a reality
When I spend the time I have free
Staring at a fuckin’ screen
All my friends are faces on a screen

Thanks

Thanks for last night
You know I was nervous and violently shaking
But everything turned out alright
Thanks for the light in your eyes
It’s been a long time
Since I’ve been between the sheets
But waking up knowing
That I’m not entirely worthless is an ecstatic feeling
And I am so grateful to have you in my life
If just for tonight, it’s alright
And thanks for the beers
You know I’ve been broke and I’m choking
On finding a job I’ve been kind of a slob
Not cleaning up all my dirty dishes
From lonelier nights
Where I set my sights on Nintendo
And what I could do just to feel more alive
For the time being I’ll grin and bear it
Because nights like tonight don’t happen all the time
And I am so grateful to have you in my life
Even if I don’t admit it all the time
You said it’s alright
Yeah you said I’ts fine
There doesn’t have to be a rhyme or reason to life
We’re just trying to get by
And I said it’s fine
There doesn’t have to be a rhyme or reason tonight
We’re just trying to get by

The Incredible Sulk

Turn the TV off it’s late, I haven’t slept for shit in days
And I’m going to bed now
Open up another case, gonna forget about your face
With a Pabst Blue Ribbon TM
Streaming Netflix on the screen, a mild drug for you and me
To constantly fall back on
On a grave of apathy, place no flowers place no wreath
Just let me rot here
No I can’t muster the strength
To tell you why I’m breathing so slowly
It must have something to do with
The speed of my heartbeat
And we’re both putting pressure
On each other when it’s not needed
Hope you know I know you’re scheming
Hope you don’t know that I’m conceited too
I don’t wanna have to tell you a thousand times
Why you’re making me nervous
I don’t wanna know the psychology behind
What is making my palms itch
I don’t wanna have to tell you a thousand times
Why you’re making me nervous
I don’t wanna know the psychology behind
What is making me write this

Shequel

She doesn’t inspire me
There’s nothing worthwhile about her smile
It only shows jagged teeth
Withering yellow stained tiles
And I’m always trying to find the best traits
In the people that I am friends with
But I can’t imagine myself forever
Being friends with an idiot
So I think you should stop calling me
When you’re drunk at three in the morning
It’s fucking annoying
And I’m really just trying to sleep
She doesn’t have any hobbies
Aside from getting drunk and watching TV
And I don’t want to be
The person that enables your IV
She doesn’t want me to be me
And I need to break myself free
From this cage of lions
I’ve been surrounding myself with
I’m fucking exhausted
Don’t invite me to the bar tonight
Cuz I really would rather not go
I’d rather drink beers alone at home
And get stoned and ignore my phone
So when you start calling me
When you’re drunk at three in the morning
I’ll be drunk and snoring
Cuz I’m really just trying to sleep
This isn’t the path that either one of us wanted
But we still walked it

Haven't Felt Right
04:10
|

I haven’t felt right in a long time, but today
I’m feeling just fine despite the bills I have to pay
And there’s a pile of shit in the back of my mind
I gotta sort through
But now my cat is lying on the edge of my bed
So I pet her head and envy
How she lives so simply
I could learn a thing or two from you my love
She just purrs and she yawns and rolls over
It’s been a long night, gonna drink the day away
I open one beer and the sadness melts away
And let me tell you that I’m feeling content
With the life that I live even if it’s not very pretty
At least I’ve got some fucking awesome friends
To make my days less shitty
And I hope they know that they mean more to me
Then my thoughts could ever translate
From my brain to this pen and this paper
And when our time runs out
I’ll try to keep a little faith in me and pray
We’ll hang out in the clouds again one day
Don’t you take it for granted
We don’t have it all that bad
Don’t you take it for granted
We are all we fucking have

Tired
02:14
|

|
I’m tired of selfies and pictures of food
I’m tired of the things I see people do
I wanna stop staring at screens all day
I wanna go outside and play
I’m twenty five and I still deliver pizza
I’m human but I feel like more of a creature
I wanna just leave and say “Fuck everything!”
So that maybe I will feel OK
I’m tired of thinking of running away
The same problems will find me if I don’t stay
I wanna just move out and try to find a better place
So that maybe I won’t go insane
And most of my friends they have similar problems
We all take baby steps so we can solve em
So everything’s not always dreary and grey
We’ll make our lives better someday
Yeah, right

Lost In My Head
03:32
|

I’ve been lost in my head
Searching for a shred of evidence that suggests
That there are pieces of a decent human being left
Inside of me
I’ve been counting the names
Racking my brain to indicate
The difference between the ones that failed me
And the ones I fucked up
I’ve been rolling in bed
Thinking about all the shit that you said
And I’m sorry that I don’t realize
How selfish I am
I’ve been shifting the blame
Away from me to the things I hate
Like this job and these hourly wages
But everybody’s gotta get paid
I’ve been losing my breath
Choking down all these cigarettes
Am I pulling myself closer to death?
I really would rather not know
To say you left an impression
Would be an understatement
I spent the last few years
Trying to find someone like you
But I can’t seem to find a balance between
My lonely dreams and empty sheets
But I will search forever
Hope I won’t come up empty handed
