Dopeful 03:44
Washed up, worn out, worried Fed up, can’t find meaning in anything I don’t want to forget I just want to be comfortable and numb I’m too filled with regret I’m just going to smoke weed ‘til I’m dumb Too young to be burnt out Moving forward I fear I’m past my prime I don’t want to forget I just want to be comfortable and numb I’m too filled with regret I’m just going to smoke weed ‘til I’m dumb

Pond Surfer 03:18
Capsized too soon In an ocean you drew Realistic rendering Endlessly shimmering That ocean is calling my name That ocean is calling my name What you’ve heard, it’s true Get a room with a view Lay your head down in bed And watch the sun turn red That ocean is calling my name That ocean is calling my name Sails up, bored at sea Are you bored with me? Sails up, bored at sea Are you bored with me? That ocean is calling my name That ocean is calling my name

Penalty Shot 04:13
I’ve been cheated by misleading promises Promises Been defeated and demoralized by the lies By the lies And now I think I deserve more If I found a window I’d climb out of my head I know I can’t go So I’ll have some tea instead As long as you know There’s no last in line I’ll try to tell myself I’m doing fine In the moonlight I reflect on my day It’s not meditating But it soothes me anyway As long as you know There’s no last in line I’ll try to tell myself I’m doing fine I’ve been cheated by misleading promises Promises Been defeated and demoralized by the lies By your lies And now I’ll take what they serve

Sort the bottles by their labels At the bottom you’ll find me Soaking up philosophy, young and naive Left here with one final thought, but it’s too early to leave I can’t stand it anymore Quietly leave and lock the door I don’t feel right anymore Stoke the fire or stay forlorn Let go of fear, you don’t need it Let go of fear, you don’t need it

Dream 03:46
I wish I knew what it would take to stay awake What’s next on deck? Wasted my calling, infinite falling I get stoned and start over Start over Wake me up I’m dreaming now Wake me up And count me out How do I stop? Run into traffic, anything to... Wake me up I’m dreaming now Wake me up And count me out Wake me up Wake me up Holy fuck Wake me up

Catharsis 03:37
Well I guess I’m happy right where I am I’ve got all the luck in the world but still can’t understand Why I pretend to hold a gun to my own head while I stare at the mirror My life’s not any clearer than it was when I was young I never thought a lot about this but now I crave catharsis I’m counting down towards my self destruction I need some kind of a call to action I’ll show you all that I’ve been growing Or maybe I’ll just keep on floating Let the record show I’ve made mistakes Everything is nothing, or so Japhy states But I’m not a buddha, and I can’t be taught Life’s a breakneck pace, and I can’t keep up I’m counting down towards my self destruction I need some kind of a call to action I’ll show you all that I’ve been growing Or maybe I’ll just keep on floating I don’t feel right, it’s too existential Stay up all night, pack the non-essentials Lean your head back, take a hit We all know when it’s time to split I’m counting down towards my self destruction I need some kind of a call to action I’m counting down towards my self destruction I need some kind of a call to action I’ll show you all that I’ve been growing I’ll show you all that I’ve been growing Or maybe I’ll just keep on floating

What is a man without his word? Tell that to those in charge, you sound absurd It doesn’t help the ebb and flow of time and space And so it goes I know I’m not wanted here I just thought I’d disappear My mind goes blank, hard to think Years gone by, I start to sink You’ve got a point, several in fact On second thought, let’s go with that
9.
Listen close I only want to say it once A fog rolls over my mind A fog rolls over our graves in kind If I could have read your lips I wouldn’t have been left behind
10.
On the Rocks 03:28
Cut corners, lower the bar That thinking has got me this far I don't know why I act this way It’s not free but I’ll give it away I’m not ready to die I’m not ready to die I’m not who I thought I'd be Grab blankets and put me to sleep Draw the bullseye and put me inside Kill the witch, burn it alive I’m not ready to die I’m not ready to die I’m not ready to die I’m not ready to die I don’t need a reason why I’m not ready to die
11.
Tying Knots 03:15
We’re alone, alone on the water Beauty, beauty unbound And I know, I know that I love you We’re at home, mad at each other Some pain that will fade away And I tell you, yes it’s true It’s always been you We’re alive, more so than ever There’s no time to feel obliged To do anything for anyone but us No there’s no time for anything less than this So read this letter I couldn’t find the words to make the story better I could map it out a thousand times And still not know what I got right To win you over So read this letter I couldn’t find the words to make the story better Despite my best efforts to fuck it up like I always do I won you over
