Its happening around me Its happening without me (tell all your friends, "go inside") I promised you blood I promised you murder (but i'd don't think I can deliver this time) I watch nameless neighbors drag trash to the street I hate everybody who looks just like me We're part of the problem Making it worse The change that I don't wan't to be I went out to dinner with all of my friends Everyone there's doing great Meanwhile I'm online for the 10,000th time With the same dumbfuck look on my face Whenever they tell me that it's getting better I always find another way Its not getting better, its not going away I dream about dying I dream about traps I go to sleep nervous and wake up like that and all of my fancy bullshit booklearning won't keep the cold off of my face I wish that I didn't measure things in failure The only scale that I can use Its not getting better, and there's nothing to do

Don't keep me up all night / I can't sleep all morning / get up real early.

watching drive in movies, sit in the park drinking lemonade watching where we're going and doing out best not to act our age but I want to be where the waves crash on the sand I want to be where the ocean meets the land getting on the subway, listening to top 40 songs kicking it with cousins, doing our best to belong but I want to stay where the waves crash on the bay but I want to be where the ocean meets the land

When they ask you where you came from you can say you came from me I'm owed one or two favors there, you can cash this in for free I can't promise you a good life, but its better than the one you're about to see I used to have a big house with more room than I could use I traded it for an apartment where I live on top of you and I guess you're smothering me too dear god, one of us has got to move I made this pile so now its mine, I hope that you had a good time because this town is taking one of our lives I still love you, yes I do, but I need to be so far from you before this thing I love just up and dies When they ask about what happens I hope you tell them the truth I hope you say the awful things that I'll say about you a selfishness, a couple drinks, a call; then everything fell through When describing events herein, I hope you do it right Its not a wreck, its not a death, its all somebody's fault it's something dumb that always hurts someone; a drunken sleaze party

Bro Song 03:10
Later on when the lights come up everybody makes it out alive but right now nothing seems that certain I can see it in your eyes How many necks do you think you would step on how many backs would break to advance? Is there even a number? I can't imagine it, but I hope you can. Let's pretend that this something you planned on let's pretend that it's more than minor crime can you even dispel all the shit that you sell and come up clean at the same time? I can tell this isn't what you expected I can tell that something has gone wrong Can you go it alone? And I know you're going to get stepped on Do what they tell you to.

Marathon 01:40
This is a marathon you'll never run your bones will turn to splinters and you'll bake in the sun they're pushing back the finish line ,you'll never be done because this is a marathon that you'll never run This is a marathon you'll never run I knew that you were lying when you said it'd be fun No, I am not sorry about all of the blood. This is a marathon that you'll never run This is a marathon and you'll never run

Give me it all hang it around my neck like a bell you'll always know when I'm close Give me a wall something to hold your back up against something to frame us both I was afraid I wasn't sure how this would go and if I'm honest I'm still not Put all my things loose in the backseat of my car as if they could make a house a home You were beautiful the last time that we spoke. It's alright I ran out of way to apologize so I stopped we split up our records, we split up our friends you'll die before you ever see me again I ran out of ways to apologize so I stopped Let's cross that bridge show me the world you're trying to hide show the things you'll miss the most if there was a fire these are the things I'd grab from the house there are the people I'd pull through the smoke Tell me not to walk away tell me you want to make amends and I will try my best Tell me again that I'm not doing enough I guess And where I stand is anybody's guess I'm trying to hard not to fuck us both up but history knows that it won't be enough promises aren't ever worth anything but I'm going to try and mean everything Don't stop

There are no lyrics for this song. It is whatever you want it to be.

Fuzz King 02:25
I was drinking in a daytime bar when Brooklyn lost a son Philadelphia was burning so we decided to run The pawnshop down on Monroe Ave has everything we need Just go inside and stay alive, I swear that I won't leave John told me that the last band left so we could finally go I almost fell asleep and pitched the car into the road I promised everyone I wouldn't do this but I lied I want to keep your secrets but I guess I'm not that guy I'll tell you what you want to know I'll tell you everything I past the point of worrying about this long ago I'm going to look ridiculous I'll see you at the show Ask me about the 90s and I'll make up all the gaps I'll tell you what you want to know, you only have to ask

My friends are getting older making me feel younger they have cared for others while I focus on my hunger for another night alone another peaceful slumber it won't be enough to keep this up My friends are getting softer making me seem louder they have learned restraint while i spit nothing but gunpowder who cares about the meaning when the volume is all that matters it won't be enough to keep this up

RPGs 04:10
And when we go I hope we both go quietly I hope its soft I hope it happens in our sleep You've always said that myrtars were the biggest fools When you die, what could you have left to lose I've always been afraid of what was in the dark Not in my room but what's created in my heart I'd rather have a fucking monster at my door than have to live with what I'm capable of anymore I could never remember anything I will remember
