Get By 02:29
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 01:55
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 My

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? 02:13
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

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

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
9.
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 06:23
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
