If Anyone Asks... 02:10
lyrics

If anyone asks what I’ve been doing Tell em I grew my mustache out (My 'stache) And moved the fuck on If anyone asks where I’ve been living Tell em I flew to Mars and I’m never coming back If anyone asks what I’ve been learning Tell em triangles and matrices Tell em I gave up on music Tell em I blew up my guitar and un-wrote all my songs Tell em this is the last one If anyone asks who I’ve been loving Tell em it’s none of their fucking business And to leave her alone If anyone asks if I’ve been dying Tell em I could not be saved Tell em they asked too late If anyone asks how I’ve been feeling Tell em like a million bucks Oh yeah I’m not the me you think you love I didn’t say those things I said I’m not the me inside your head I wanna be the boy you thought you knew who went and vanished into the blue!

Sick Nasty! 04:25
lyrics

On my own Fifty miles away And the cancer by my right thigh won’t be my friend tonight On the outs Freedom is three clicks away Man, this cancer by my right thigh is slowly killing me, alright? But they say, with smiles and elation, that time heals all Man, I thought they were wrong Well, I guess time heals all Blood slowly clots over the wounds But I keep picking at the scabs Despondent and bemused Well, I guess time heals all Blood slowly clots over the wounds But I’m still just picking through the scraps Broke and confused I’ve got a gun and I know your name And it’s burning at my right thigh Don’t mess with me, alright? Scarlett eyes The shadows still call my name There’s no way the weight will lift if the rift is still identified But they say, with smiles and elation, that time heals all They’re still proving me wrong Well, I guess time heals all Blood slowly clots over the wounds But I keep picking at the scabs Crestfallen and aloof Things change The brightness turns to black, and then to gray “So long to painful times,” is all I can say There’s so much to throw away There’s so much to throw away Well, I guess time heals all Blood slowly clots over the wounds But I keep picking at the scabs Crestfallen and aloof Well, I guess time heals all Blood slowly clots over the wounds But I keep picking at the scabs Despondent and bemused Well, I guess time heals all Blood slowly clots over the wounds But I keep picking through the scraps Bruised, black and blue

When the weight of the world is too much to bear I lay my head down on your lap And when you stroke my hair and kiss my head, I feel like... I feel like... When the weight of the world is too much to bear I lay my head down on your lap And when you stroke my hair and kiss my head, I feel like... I feel like... I feel like I could die there I could live there I could laugh there I could cry there I could sleep there And I could wake there I could love there I could

Let’s throw out our phones into the sea I want it to be just you and me, baby The circuits will fry and the water will scream We’ll sit on the shore and watch as we’re freed, baby Maybe it’s okay to drown Cuz somehow, a very long time ago, I got buried deep underground Maybe you’ll dig me out But baby, hold your breath if you fall in Cuz I don’t want you to end up where I am now Feel the sound (Feel the sound) Hear my mouth I’ll scream out (I'll scream out) When you go, I hope you take me Throw out your phone into the sea Its battery keeps charging and recharging your misery You say the pictures look bad I hate when you’re disgusted by your own face Throw your phone into the sea It’s constant anxiety Yeah, I want you to end up where I am now Feel the sound (Feel the sound) Hear my mouth (My mouth) I’ll scream out (I'll scream out) When you go, I hope you take me Cast out your heart into the sea Cast out the madness and grief Cast out your world of anxieties Cast out a line and hook me

Last Punk Standing 01:08
lyrics
buy track
Autumn I walk alone and with my hood on for life I fall hard when the leaves fall I’m kicking through them in these Vans that I just bought I’m still a guy who wears tight pants But as you get older and grow up, it’s hard to stay a punk You start rocking the sweaters and fancy socks that your grandparents bought you and you never touched It’s cold out here and windy But I like it I’ll need a blanket tonight Watching scary movies with the lights off by myself is alright Tomorrow I’ll go for a drive and look at the changing leaves And think about how I’m almost fucking 21 And wonder if I’m the only kid who does this shit

Book 03:10

Why do I... Why do I love... Why do I love you? Why do I love you? I don’t know Why do you love me? Why do you love me? I don’t know I don’t know But between us, it is understood It is not the words It is the looks that we share I’d spell out the reasons if I could But this is life It’s not a book But between us, it is understood It is not the words It is the looks that we share I’d spell out the reasons if I could But this is life It’s not a book

Good Morning 05:10
lyrics
buy track
Woke up next to you and stayed silent, stuck like glue I watched You were restless Sunbeams lighting up my dorm room You were wearing my t-shirt and your legs were nude You woke And you smiled So, then I tucked my leg in-between your thighs And put one arm over top and the other under your side And I squeezed Our lips met again, and again, and again, and again, and again “Good morning baby, do you wanna stay here forever?” If so, we’ll surely flunk out of school I would But we can’t Because somebody would find out when the semester ends They would kick us straight out We’d say goodbye to this bed We would cry We always do when we say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye We’d be on our own Like a million nights before “Don’t let me go,” you said Then I said, “Let’s get up, there are a million things to do” You said, “No way, you stay” We’d be on our own Like a million nights before “Don’t let me go,” you said Then I said, “Let’s get up, there are a million things to do” You said, “No way, you stay” Sunbeams lighting up my dorm room "Good morning baby, do you wanna stay here forever?" We’d be on our own Like a million nights before “Don’t let me go,” you said Then I said, “Let’s get up, there are a million things to do” You said, “No way, you stay” I think my whole life was leading towards this moment I’d been alone for so long I didn’t think it existed I swear I’m repaired Goodnight baby So long blues I waited 20 long years to fall for you And I did Again, and again, and again, and again, and again

Strum On 02:16
lyrics
buy track
Strumming on this guitar, it’s been awhile Had writer’s block too long and stopped writing songs Strumming on this guitar, it’s not the same (It's not the same) I wanna feel the pain I wanna sing it away Strumming on this guitar, I’m out of style 2012 is calling and saying I’m extinct Can I win your hearts back? Should I write a refrain that goes “Na-na-na-na-na”? Did I say the right things? Will I write a hook worthy of singing along? Strumming on his guitar, he feels at home His teachers think he’s failing life One day they’ll ask for his autograph Strumming on her guitar, she’s kicking ass She’s gonna be the president She’s gonna punch through the glass Strumming on our guitars, we’re all on fire We’re burning up in real time (Yeah!) You better run fast Can I win your hearts back? Should I write a refrain that goes “Na-na-na-na-na”? Did I say the right things? Will I write a hook worthy of singing along?
