I don’t wanna lose myself inside this panic in my soul I try to fix the bad chemicals in my brain with other chemicals And if I’m in another state Then you can bet I’ll always know That deep down inside we’re all just sad and alone. And I can get so low But I’m no fucking baby I can take it on the chin and shake it off But the strain of all this weight on our shoulders gets so great That sometimes you just wanna go insane And all of the mistakes in a life time that I make are turning my hair gray, I’m getting tired. These insides will fade away one day And the worms will have their feast So I will just try to keep on livin’
2.
There’s poison in these streets And on the tongues of all the people around me Feels like I heard it all before They crawl in my ears and build a home There’s loneliness in this world so great A deep dark mark on the back of our necks Burned deep in our bodies We wear them like a victory Fuck my brain and lay them down to rest All the shitty thoughts inside my head They’re cold and hungry For another piece of me They say that life is one big joke When you’re staring straight up from a 30 foot fall I’m a puppet that sees the strings The dullest man on the cinder Absurdity in everything It it’s all fucked then be the change Past and future crash like waves And I’m not sure of who I want to be Cut the ties that hold tight to this borrowed time Don’t let your heart grow cold When the punchline hits

Connections 02:58
I wanna stand as close to the edge as I can I wanna breathe life back into these lungs There’s a great leap forward that we can’t seem to make I don’t wanna fall backwards There are fault lines running through every face Tear these walls down just to build them right back up Kick rocks on a night like this When life hands you lemons and pisses in the lemonade Fail to find connections to the places that define Who you are and where you plan on going Recognize there’s a different path to take Won’t walk alone or have to regret A simple song to try and be supportive I can’t seem to differentiate from a shit eating grin Or a grin eating shit Wanna leave all this pain behind us It’s still inside us

H8 02:35
Lately all I do is sleep Feels like I’m drowning in a sea of sheets It’s so easy to lose your footing When you’re a no good hood getting closer to 30 Like a magnet, I’m not sure how it works It seems the older I get the further it pulls I was Kerouac and you were Cassady drinkin’ We walked this same road together With no destination And all my friends have got bachelor’s degrees or Their girlfriends are pregnant with their first baby While I sit on my ass just drinkin’ I binge on comic books, records and TV I’ve got so much hate Runnin’ deep in my veins I’m just trying to find something To make it all go away
5.
We’re a pale blue dot In the center of darkness It’s a hard pill to swallow To know you’re nothing and everything And when we die I hope that our Energy is distributed evenly We all turn to dust and it settles beneath us A flash in the pan in the vastness of space I smoke ‘til I’m stupid and numb to the feeling A beggar, a bum, just some cretin out on the street Could say I’m down and out Or just making mountains out of ant hills now Time is a circle, it swallows us up With the promise that we all can be someone
6.
We were stumblin’ around the lower east side of Manhattan When a crust punk came up to me and asked to bum a cigarette I said, “Hey man, you’ve gotta be kidding me” And then he smiled back and called me a yuppie All I ever wanted was a shot in the arm Or a kick in the ass to keep in time To pick myself up and jump in line Like a white elephant into the setting sun I can’t seem to see my reflection In the cars that pass in similar directions I try to clear my head A slow march to the end They all stare at the abyss Just bags of blood and dust and fear Side by side in a transit hearse Waiting for the dark to swallow us Sometimes I sit and wonder if I’m the only one that’s tired Slave away our days We’re all going the same way
7.
Was there a fire burning words that you wanted to say From the end of a cannon Or was it the glow of a cellphone screen and The pounding of a heart that tries to keep on beating Tonight I’m goin’ down to the lake where we used to drink Now it’s just me, Jimmy, Jack, and Evan So young and carefree then But now we have nothing in common Somewhere I have lost the urge to keep My devil down that hole I still get so goddamn low Maybe I’ll go into the woods just to write my songs Or hit the skids with some fortified wine and a notebook Embrace the clichés of bad poetry and Grow out my hair like some fucking hippie How can I just try to keep connections to The life I wanna lead? What comfort’s waiting there for me Growing dull or living free?
8.
Take everything you can Swallow your entitlement and privilege Play the millennial blues For all the times that you can’t shake these feelings It’s on your face Like a fucking egg Like a bad tattoo, a subtweet, or a dick pic sent at four in the Morning Eat coast wind, roll those waves on me Carry me out to a salty sea Cause I’ve been washed ashore for days Just sit and rot ‘til the birds have had their fill No hope, halo or harp for me Just let me drift so far away
9.
I was born in a no name town that runs along the Delaware river I’ve got all of these vices And hard dyin’ habits And I’m lose inside this daily routing and the half empty bombers That we bought up the street It’s hard to stand up taller When the wind’s blowin’ through your bones
10.
I was born in a no name town That runs along the Delaware river I was given my father’s name The fourth in a line of German-Irish descendants And there’s a constant sad reminder in all these smiles that I know There’s an ugly side to livin’ It sinks down in the ground into the center of the earth I can feel the wind blow through my bones I get sick to my stomach walking through these streets alone And these ghosts drag on for miles They wrap around your legs and bite at your ankles Some are bastards and bleedin’ hearts If nostalgia doesn’t kill you first They know where you are And I don’t know how many motherfuckers will show up at my funeral I just wanna own the biggest house And strike the first match to burn it down I’m more than the trash out on the street I am the wolves I am the beast I am the loss of innocence It stings at first but the wheel still spins
