vows (demo)

I dressed up like a catholic
and I got drunk the fastest
I threw my love in a ring of fire
to burn burn burn
we used to wear our backpacks
and makeout just for practice
but after today we'll stay this way
from now until our caskets
I don't mind
if you don't love me all the time
no that's fine
I think we'll still get by
I made a list of reasons
to stop me from committing
it feels so wrong
and it's so damn long
these were actual suspicions of mine
but I remember when I feel left out and beaten
you come in from the kitchen
you'll fold some clothes, but you know I know
you're simply there to listen
as I whine.
baby you shouldn't mind
if I don't love you all the time
no that's fine
I think we'll still get by
so with these church bells a'ringin
the overwhelming smell of linen
buying presale tix to heaven's gate
before I'm actually admitted
I'll give up all my passions
and take some online classes
a balance beam
forget my dreams
it ain't ever gonna happen
but I don't mind
I'm pretty sure I love you at this time
and that's just fine
we're going to need it to get by
so I guess I'll start relaxin
and finally do my taxes
I'll do my best to be a normal man
because I know that's all you're askin
but oh my girl
I'm a fool
and I will always be unstable
so play it cool
don't break my heart
and please don't turn evil
because that shit can happen
even to good people
and before you know it
our kids are devils
and with a heavy sigh
the world is forced to deal
with their behavior
because of irresponsible people
that raised them up
with no examples
AND LET THEM PUT OTHER PEOPLE DOWN
(the worst thing you could ever do)
but that won't be us
that isn't us
that won't be us.
and that's a reason to be excited.

body in the park (demo)
04:58
|
|||
make us some golden plans
with some Nerf Gun stands
in the sunlight
we'll find a body in the park
then we'll call the cops
dispatch hey guess what
go on about your beliefs
and your ACTs
yeah you bombed it
you wince a bit when you speak
like my mom does
I've never had enough
I think I'm losing my mind
I think your dad's too short
your mom's the perfect height
make us some perfect plans
with some tin foiled hands
we're just robots
we'll find a body in the park
then we'll call the cops
dispatch hey guess what
go on about your beliefs
and your bullshit degree
you're my favorite kid
you wince a bit when you speak
cause you found love
I've never had enough
I think I'm losing my mind
I think your dad is too short
your mom is the perfect height
so pay attention darlin
hold me up and force me to speak
cause yeah
that's my girl mon frère
she's the bones of my teeth
and I'm gonna wait forever
and I'm gonna feel left out
cause you know
you know I love you like my heart is on fire
like a sad little kid, to the cynic I'm growing up into
and back when I had thin skin
and a freaked out little heart
going through all the motions
long before the body in the park

I went to a party
fuck it
nothing happened
but we all know how that goes
I need a friend I can count on for Monday
to lie to my girl; control what she knows
she's been
sitting here about half an hour
calling her mom from a telephone
I hear her mention me and then listens closely
to hear some advice on the male ego
so I'll
shoot the girl
drag the moon out
by it's ankles
Around the Fur by the Deftones
is a pretty good album
Don't let a 90s kid be in charge of the microphone
stab him in the hand if he tries
you'll hear em in bars singing "I'll never let youuuu go"
And inserting "fuck" into Sweet Caroline
stuff your
Sorries into a sack for the weekend
because we'll need them then more than right now
I lost a girl long ago in Chicago
And I get really scared—nah I feel nothing at all—when I say that out loud
so I'll
shoot the girl
drag the moon out
by it's ankles
then call me a jerk
for sticking my nose out
sinking in my doubts
wasting a good crowd on a song that nobody knows

I been hearin' voices
can you cut em out, cut em out please?
I been talking to the engine
he's just using me for gasoline
singing let me get inside
I been driving for days
and I've got 20 miles to go
until I finally give up
and my beard gets cut
man I been falling on my face
long enough man, shit!
this world is just a mosh pit
and I've been falling down in between
when the kool-aid on the mattress becomes a catalyst
to all you think and feel and dream
so just let me get inside
so I can give it all away and never
play another show
yeah regrets a new friend
I'm gonna watch him grow up
did I ever want to write songs and get addicted to drugs?
man, shit!
Well I made it this far, but it ain't far enough
I need another open mic like a kick in the nuts
glory tends to fade, but so does love
so does the passion you trust
i been hearin' voices
yeah regrets a new friend
I'm gonna watch him grow up
did I ever want to write songs and get addicted to drugs?
man, shit!
well I made it this far, but it ain't far enough
maybe later on in life I'm gonna sober up
and learn that doubt isn't real, there's only love
so let your passion speak up
and don't listen to the voices

I bought you a scarf
from Paris, France
and I'd cut off my hands
if they'd send me home.
is the baby moving?
I bet he has a heart by now.
if you could send some word somehow
tell him I'm patching a hole in the world.
the only thing to do at night is just
I just breathe in slow
and think of best friends, and dead men
of course my girl back home
and by now I'm a tired man
who just wants to grow old
with some porch nights
and calm wife
and tell the world to leave me alone.
I bunk with a lad
with a brand new bride
you'd never know he aches inside
until you hear him, late at night.
I wrote out my love
on the side of a bridge
with a wooden stick
just to make sure that it lives
so if I'm missed
touch your letters to edge of your wrist
and give all your friends the gist
so then I'm not stranger when I greet them.
and if I were a carpenter
and you were a lady
would you've married me anyway?
would you've had my baby?

daises in the trash can
girlfriend in a comatose
I've been high all day
daddy's got cancer
we'll eat it when it's turning black
I've been high all day
whatcha want from me, god?
I'm a bastard
what you want from me?
I'll be dead when I'm 25
momma's gettin headaches
and little brother's freaking out
because he's high all the time
baby's in a bad place
and I don't think I'm helping out
because I'm high all the time
whatcha want from me, god?
I'm a bastard
what you want from me?
I'll be dead when I'm 25

sweet little kid perspective
see what's inside my soul
mama left her babies
14 and 9 years old
but we can reach the window
we can jump over the gate
but hey I'm afraid now
I think i'm making mistakes
hey you know, did you know?
i've loved you for weeks now
is it weird, does it weird you out?
she's painting a lighthouse
and that's me inside
stuck in a vice
and it hurts.
but why'd you include me?
now I just look like a jerk.
dreamer in my head
you've made me nobody's friend.
but I want to be cool now
i just don't know where to begin
do you understand?
hey you know, did you know?
I think like she's dead now
yeah it's weird, fkin weird as hell
hey it's really nice out
and that's me outside
I heard some advice
"You should live and learn."
Is that supposed to feel good?
When they tell you, "It could be worse."
So I melt back into the room
As I hear you pouring your coffee cup
Yeah I know it's inevitable
That we're gonna die
But that's just fine

stompin' on bugs (demo)
02:13
|
|||
did you water the plants
is your heart OK
do you catch me grinnin
when you say my name
yeah we look like twins
but we fell in love
we yell in public
and we stomp on bugs
she's a burning heart
a cross & chain
you make a cuss sound pretty
and you don't complain
yeah i know love
I felt it burn
but it's always worth it
even when you get hurt
my my my
you're making this a real nice life
so let's keep it real
and just run away
and we'll fall asleep laughin
at the end of the day
having so much fun
just killing bugs
your teeth get heavy
when you fall in love
yeah I drink too much
we can deal with that
I'll say some things
then I'll take em back
yeah I hit the walls
then I sit and pout
don't waste the day
trying to figure me out
my my my
you're making this a real nice life
but I'll be nice as hell
when I get my way
and when the power goes out
I'll go and trip the break
so just stay with me
sing a whole new world
because you're damn near perfect
for a 90s girl
