Overflowing
I'm leaking on the floor
I'm overthinking
My one-track mind on crash course
I'm sifting through thoughts of reasons I made up
With demons in my head ignorance is bliss
I'm fine I swear I'm fine
Just leave me be alright
I'm getting by
Auto-pilot's fine
Drunk sleep
Wake sober
I've never felt colder
Talking to myself
Try to tell myself
I'm just barely getting by
Overflowing
I'm leaking everywhere
Can't move arms and legs
Puddle around my face
I'm grinning from thinking
I'm fine I swear I'm fine

Stress

I'm sick of wondering
Try to be alone again
Sick of wondering why
I think I'm crumbling
Gotta be alone again
I think I'm fumbling my
Life is taking a dip
I think I'm not gonna make it out
I'm too focused on my lack of focus
I'm just gonna close my eyes
I gotta
Home is where my bed is
Head is in the pillow
Covers over my face
Snooze on the cellphone
Volume on the stereo
Why am I asleep in the middle of the day
Now I'm not too sure just how I got here
I'm gonna blame it on you
In the mirror pointing
Gouging out my eyes

How lucky are we our schedules matched up this weekend
For the first time in I'd say a few months
And now I can't wait to catch up with you guys
We can talk all about our jobs
And we'll reminisce all about high school
Or that year in college where we bummed out in Nathan's dorm
We slept through all of our classes
Well at least we started writing songs
Staying up till 4 A.M.
Belting out the first things that came to mind
Girls, lost love, or how we're just so damn bored
And we're gonna drop out this year
Try to make this band stuff work
I don't think college is really for me anyway
I'd rather be
Freezing our fingers of in the shed
Or the beads of sweat dripping on the frets
You know I don't care if we get there
Just as long as I have you guys by my side
Because growing up is such a chore
And growing apart hurts even more
And I'll fight tooth and nail
To keep this fucking group together
Cuz if it wasn't for all my friends
I don't doubt I'd be six feet underground
And now we're chilling in Canaan's bedroom
Ryan's strumming a new idea
And I'm looking around with a stupid grin
Praying that this will never end

What?

Wake up feeling sore
Head hurts finding the door
Same shirt from the night before
Back to bed gotta work real soon
Feel like shit in my car
Glance at the time it's too far
Away from me the years have passed
Well ask me what I've done with my life
And I'll say
I'll say "What?"
I'll say what who's this looking at me
And I'll say oh why am I screaming
And I'll say what fuck that oh I'm still feeling
And I'll say what I'll just get back to sleeping
Man I gotta quit my day job
Wanna bail in my beat up beetle
Head to the wet coast that I call home
With me and all of my friends
Load up all our instruments
Fueled by coffee and cigarettes
I don't care if we make it there
Just as long as I give it a try

Too Real
02:22

Hey you
Nevermind I didn't say a thing
Just a case of bad allergies
I don't have a thing to say
But the moment the noises stop
I'm stuck with my scary thoughts
About the hundreds of ways I can forget that awkward moment
I can't help but talk to you
And I'm too afraid to ask for your name
This feeling means it's real to me
Too real for me
This taste in my mouth
I don't have a single doubt
My heart beating erratically
I just need a second to gather my lunch coming up now
I'll spit, stutter and wonder
Jeez why even bother
It's better in my head anyway
Anyway I give up

Stumbling in the Dark
03:33

Late nights and parties
Card games and Memories
Tear stains on your brand new t-shirt
I don't mean to be a bummer man
But I'm still thinking of the future that
All the adults in our childhood begged us to plan for
Put it off another day why not the day after too
Waiting for another weekend while
Missteps I've made echo and loom
And will no doubt come up with the beers we had before we made it home
I need hope or at least just one good night of
Drinking these god awful thoughts away
Stumbling in the dark
Trying not to wake them up
I need to get outside
Hey man you got a light
Loss of innocence
I never claimed I was anything better
Hunched over the back porch
Trying to sober up
I want to hold on to you
With wet hands from my glass
Coming back inside
Knocked me on my ass

Another Weekend

OH NO IT'S
Monday morning and I know how this is gonna go
It’s why I tried so hard to forget it the night before
Another week wasting my time but honestly am I prioritizing right
Honestly It’s too scary to think about
I’d like to brush over these pain in the ass situations
I’ve gotten so good at procrastinating I’m getting bored with it
I sit in my lonely apartment comfy between the headphones
I’m singing these songs to help me forget or sometimes I’ll splash in my feelings and
Sometimes these feelings get caught in my throat
And I scream at the top of my lungs into the palms of my hands
And I scream so loud I scare myself
The next thing I know its Friday night and the room is packed with smiling faces
What a shitty week I had I hope your week was better
You know what it's better now that you're around
Don't leave me alone too long cuz I'll start thinking about you know what
Screw these problems responsibilities
I know who can deal with them future me
Let’s forget today I’m staying in with my friends
We'll pound the drinks down and push these tears out
I’m sleeping in hopefully drowning the bad memories in the toilet
I can’t see

Dogpile
03:15
|

I don’t know what I’m trying to go for here
Maybe you’ll find a better meaning
The reasons I lie awake and can’t move
Are the reasons for you to go
And I think and that’s the problem
I don’t announce
Cuz it’s better being buried underneath my heart and stomach
Don’t get mad if I slip away for a moment
I always choose the worst moments
I feel so shitty and I’ll blame me
The feeling of being alone because I’m all alone
I’m slumped at the kitchen table
My back is fucking sore
I'm always staring at the floor
I’m sorry
I don’t know how to express myself in normal conversation so I write these stupid songs
About our future, my friends, and all my plans
And how no matter what
Life is such a drag
And it feels like my problems are growing faster than me
I can’t catch up
Or hold my own in this dogpile I’m stuck underneath

At That House Show
02:06

I’ve been thinking of ways I could make my way to you
But I’ve been here for over an hour and I keep checking the background on my phone
Thank god for the six pack I’ve made it half way through
Otherwise I’d be over thinking how I should stand or where my hands should go
I hope you don’t mind my stupid smile
Or when I don’t know what to say
It’s not working I’m overthinking but my eyes are glued on you
At the end of the night I’ll be feeling alright

Whatever

Bumming couches
Awkward showers
Reminiscing
Sent messages
Sweaty palms
Blood shot eyes
Reminiscing
Those home town ties
It's not gonna stop me now
I'll do whatever
It's not gonna stop me now
I'll do whatever it takes
I've spent too much of my time
Going back in my mind
In time I hope I'll realize that
You didn't care for mine or them so
Me forgetting you will be a piece of cake
Yeah right
High school awkward talks
My teachers all sucked
But not as much as I did
I'm just stuck in the past again.
With my fears for the future stuck In my head
I hope I can find a home or maybe build one on my own
I hope that I don't miss you
I guess I'll just trust my gut
I've made it 22 years on dumb luck
I guess I'll probably miss you
From time to time
It's not gonna stop me now
I'll do whatever
It's not gonna stop me now
I'll do whatever it takes
It's not gonna stop us now
We'll do whatever
It's not gonna stop us now
We'll do whatever it takes
