Play It 03:30
Hey! Is this thing on? Well, I need it recorded This is it Yeah, the one that you wanted It took me years to be myself again And even still… I was never the same Turn it up and play it We’re all going to make it Turn it up and play it We’re all going to make it Through Because we’re in it to win it Gotta get it They don’t even know If our friends and family Can’t get us through this I don’t know what will I don’t know what will There’s no other place that I’d rather be then with you Right here, right now I’ll probably die alone Or way too soon Like the rest of them But I deserve it I don’t wanna feel this way forever I don’t wanna feel this way I don’t wanna feel this way forever What a year to say the least But we’re still here aren’t we? What a year to say the least But we’re still here aren’t we?

Prude Boy 03:06
I put in the time I paid my dues I took their cues Watching these other motherfuckers get their way But now it’s time It’s time that I got mine These fakes ain’t got nothing on us These local snobs They’ll never have what we have They’ll never have this Two birds One stone Mind drifter Shape shifter Your mother The art teacher Simple things Simple creatures Take off that mask So I can your pretty face We can up and leave this place We were never meant to live in this much fear It’s subtle but it’s there (I knew I’d like you) I think you should stay I think you’ve had too much You shouldn’t operate heavy machinery Because you mean too much to me Yeah, you mean too much to me I ran out of words, but this is the worst song on the album It’s okay, the rest of the songs are a lot better than this one You can just ride it out and thank me for it

Your mood changes like the weather And I hope that you get better But it’s hard in this Texas heat It’s getting to me All these stoner girls And their messy hair I never wanted to bother you Felt like boys never left you alone Communication in all the wrongs ways Running from thoughts which make us afraid Hide your eyes With sunglasses Cover yourself In summertime bliss It’ll all be over Before we know it I hope these months don’t change us I’d be happy anywhere with you We can go anywhere we damn well please This water is so friendly It’s weird that the concept of drowning even exists Put yourself in danger Game changer But was it worth it? The boldness, the closeness So you wanna fall in love again? Like when we were kids Had so many friends Now it’s emptiness I try and I try (backwards) Just the things that I would sing In my bedroom when I was a boy Making music with my friends And my parents, they put up with it And I’m still just chasing after that dream that we had at 1919 As if I could actually change anything at all

Maybe in different timeline A different dimension You’ll let me love you Like you need to Like you need to I should have tried harder At the things that really matter I should have known better But how was I supposed to know things would be this way? how was I supposed to know things end this way? Maybe in different timeline A different dimension You’ll let me love you Like you need to Like you need to (You sound like how a bird would sing) Something I hoped for Something I wished for but you but you never want to but you.. Maybe in different timeline A different dimension You’ll let me love you Like you need to Like you need to (You sound like how a bird would sing) And I just want to write a song Without my computer crashing And I don’t know why stayed here for so long Making things that remind me of a time when I was a kid

I will complete this maze Seems we’ve lost the way To keep us confused Distracted from the truth And the people who matter most And what is held within I am complete my friend The way I’ve always been They will sell you hollow dreams To occupy your time, wasted opportunities They will sell you hollow dreams To occupy your time, wasted opportunities The time we had before but don’t have no more Another tiresome tragedy, another lie Another nightmare, another game From the people who are desolate And deserted by the apple they ate Take me back to those old days Because there’s no low they won’t sink to And hopefully you’ll never have to Because there’s no low they won’t sink to And hopefully you’ll never have to They will sell you hollow dreams To occupy your time, wasted opportunities They will sell you hollow dreams To occupy your time, wasted opportunities The time we had before but don’t have no more It’s okay, I believe in you I know you’re smarter than that Now take your power back Now take your Now take your power back You will not break our spirits We will not back down It’s not over until I say it’s over We will have faith in ourselves We will have faith in each other We are all that we need You and me And everyone we know We will have faith in ourselves We are all that we need You and me And everyone we know Another tiresome tragedy, another lie Another nightmare, another game From the people who are desolate And deserted by the apple they ate

Truth Seeker 02:24
Just leave it alone and it will go Blow over, you know? My how you’ve grown... out of old clothes Now face your fears Ask me and I’ll be here I miss you I miss you I miss you I miss you always The way you made laugh The way made me smile Just the way you were Just the way you were This life is… a short one a easy one a hard one This life is… a long one

Blast beats Black hair Tight jeans All you wear Wrote you a poem You got your heart stolen Can’t afford to be your boyfriend I don’t have a job Don’t have any money It hurts so good to hate the state I never wanted to be an adult anyway Driving around this high school town Trying to find our place I’m heading home now I kiss your face Goodnight Oh, please don’t go… Don’t hang up the phone
9.
I remember the night You came over crying When you found out You were going to be a father You were in love once But not anymore You cannot remove it You have a kid to prove it But you gotta get through it It just hurts so bad When they have to go away You won’t see them for days Because your partners playing games You didn’t deserve it And neither did I She’s seeing other guys There’s nothing in our lives That would have prepared us for this Betrayal disguised as a kiss Now their playing victim From the lives we couldn’t give them The fairytale and we're guilty We’re guilty of being a male
10.
You came into my life Sooner than expected But I’m so glad you did Because you saved me Thanks for meeting me here again I’m walking home for the first time Call my name upon the wind and I will descend I’m so lucky to have met you here Thank you for the love and kindness You shared I will miss you too And everything you do I will miss you too And everything you do My life was my life No one else could have Lodybird and I Will always love you Protect you Watch over you I will miss you too And everything you do I will miss you too And everything you do
