It’s been five long years since I met you here Another record and gallons of beer I’ve grown a bit and a bit’s a bit and I hope that it’s enough So the times got hard and times got rough but getting there is half the fun So let’s all gather round Let’s hate on this polished sound Cause the kids don’t know what their made of But they certainly have a lot to be afraid of But the kids don’t know what their made of So let’s all gather round We’ll hate on this polished sound

Oh, I don’t need it now I guess you could say there’s a theme here I’ve been addicted strong for 2 years Oh, I don’t need it now? Ask me again in a few beers I’ll reaffirm your old fears And you’ll wait Just like everyone else Your mind makes no mistake Yea this could all fall apart It’s the price that I can’t pay When the needs meet the wants we could go through this again Oh, I could need this how? I’ll do what I need to impress that this I don’t want to address And you’ll wait Just like everyone else

Fresh 03:13
It’s hard to believe I let it get to this point Another night of clawing and cracking my joints And all I ever wanted was to do what’s right I never thought this person I had lived inside Of every mistake and every new need Of every disappointment and moment of weakness I’m not really sure if what I see is real Another low morning and pills for meals And all I ever wanted was to fall asleep on time I just wanted to be fresh for you I just wanted to be next to you I just wanted to undress with you I just want to lay in bed with you I just wanted to invest in you I just wanted to rest with you I just wanted to be next to you I just wanted to be fresh I remember the first time you looked at me weird Your voice started shaking you were hiding your tears And all I ever wanted was to do what’s right But stopping wasn’t going so I paced at night And enough was enough when the stash that you flushed Lead me to realize enough is enough I guess I really don’t know how low I can go I guess I really don’t know how low I can go

I got the hint about the other day Can’t say I’ve got much to say There’s a little more than the surface here you see And it’s been years since I carried that flag Worked real hard and I sped up that lag Leave it sore and quietly walk away Because the only fight is human empathy I’m sorry but I can’t always be there for you just the way that you might want me to You can scream into the atmosphere but my heart is far away from here I’m sorry but I can’t You can say I’m being cold that’s ok You’ve got a lot of people near you today I may owe you one but this is not the one And since my life has been forever changed With the inclusion of this fiery range Unless there’s blood, then I am not the one I’m sorry but I can’t always be there for you just the way that you might want me to You can scream into the stratosphere but my heart is far away from here I’m sorry but I can’t

Show me all of your darkest fears I want the roots and all the shame Leave it all up on the table dear You know you can not dowse the flame We’re more than names now I’ll shake the first thing off the branch my dear No secrets or no winding claims Keep the glass into your heart so clear There’s no point to try again We’re not the same now You might need this, it’s obvious it’s hard for you to know What to say when sayin’s hard But please don’t take this any other way but checking in I wanna know what you fear Take a breath take a sip, let the feeling be the trip We’ve got a little more than an hour left to kill But we’re more than names now A little bit more, a little bit more, a little bit more Rest assured A little bit more, a little bit more I’m not unsure No, I’m not unsure

Old Scent 03:02
There’s a ring in the back of my ears that will last for the rest of my years There’s a scent of nicotine that will last till I’m not here And I can feel a hot one, bringing me down, but anyway As of today, I can honestly say I’ve given up on giving in And what’s it mean to burning clean after almost two calendar years And all the things that I used to love just fill me with trembling fear And I think I forgot who, I used to be, but anyway And every year it becomes more clear that I’ve gotten away from me And I know now that I’ve done wrong It sucks that it took so long So my bad for the things that I had that I let slip through my hands And to the years that I lost in fear of changing who I am And I can feel my heart pound, beating me down, but anyway So that’s it I took a human shit on myself, that’s who I am And I know that I’ve done wrong

Well We Built this City on Alcohol Threw our shells up against the wall And All the while we felt so tall We built this place on hunger pains Got so drunk we forgot our names And all the while we went insane It’s classic game of live and let shame Yea we built a monument on Adderall Took too much and hearts did stall And all the while we felt so small We became one when I changed the game Shoved to much inside my brain Never looked up only looked away We’ve never been the same to this day I wanna tell you all you want to know right now I’ll tell you anything you want to know right now Well I never thought I’d be back in town At least not with a sober brow A disconnect this time around 10 years gone they’ve past away I honestly remember 8 Probably they weren’t that great Yea I’m sorry if I forgot your name

I’ve been shaking in the bathroom stall Telling myself I can have it all I’ve been waiting on the moving van To take the stuff that’s in my hands The sun will shine just as much here But it’s way colder and your bones will feel it They say the lake is the reason dear But In know we can survive the year I know we can survive the year All we know, is we planted these roots and we need them to grow And all we need, is some sun in the morning and some shoes on our feet, aint that neat It’s hot it’s humid, a man got shot The horns don’t stop till 3 o clock I think I saw a roach that’s cocked Another day in the windy state Broad shoulders can’t define our fate It’s colder than the red planet I feel like I’m starting to die The wind is strong and the nights are longer than the sun gets a chance to shine And the guns you hear in the distance they sound like the fourth of July But we’re sure we’re sure that we're not to sure that we probably won't die.... So I’ve been waiting to get my chance To pen this page with cheap romance and I don’t think I have it yet But time keeps going and we can’t forget Time keeps going and we can’t regret

Yeah, I’ll impress upon you all the things that you do leave me shaking down to my knees. It’s the way you speak when you’re walking down the street that’s got me wishing that you couldn’t breathe. Just say what you mean instead of trying to burn clean you better ask yourself what your trying to achieve. Stop looking so spry when your trying to imply that I never really give you what you need. I don’t need to give you what you need. It’s a trap man. You’re a sick man. You got me round got me round got me spinning all around all around. It’s a trap man. You’re a piece of shit man. Ya gotta leave me alone fucking hang up your phone I bet you can’t wait to say your shit to me. I’m gonna need some time before you take me alive, I don’t subscribe to your shit diatribe. I wish you weren’t fucking alive.

Oh, I wanna know it's true before I waste my time on you. Oh we've got some learning to do before we make one outta two. And oh we've got some growing you see before we make two into three. And every word has its weight And we know just the thing to say To properly perpetuate that sinking feeling of honest hate And I know this love is real And I know just how you feel And I want more than anything to make this work. And oh we've got to learn to speak before we call ourselves a team. And oh, I've got some things to change before a life as one we can arrange.

My heart aches like any pulled muscle And my veins bleed releasing ten thousand vessels My lips grow chapped from the stresses of Frenching While my friends scream loud with horrid depression So I canceled our last reservation Packed my car with fluids and vague desperation 10 brand new 20’s stashed under my dashboard A striking desire to press metal to the floor Like a flashlight to the dark You were that fire starting spark And if hates all that remains I won’t regret a thing that we’ve been through Well you caught me in the center of my bluffing I trust way to much and I mistake it for loving But with love comes trust you know I’ll thank you for asking The error of my ways is in witless romancing So I find myself now always retracing The mistakes I’ve claimed I’ve grown after making I’ll take that road when it bears it’s corners I’ll take my chances and disregard warning Dark Times Neon Signs If We Run Away We Are Left Behind Money Owed Growing Cold How Much More Can Our Young Brains Hold You would not believe what just happened to me. I got lost on my bike at a quarter to three. I rode in the rain I was retaining water remembering the words that you couldn't say softer to me.
