'90s Kids

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 and 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
And “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 them in bars
Singing, “I’ll never let you go.”
And inserting ‘fuck’ into Sweet Caroline
(So good, so good, so fucking good!)
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
Call me a jerk
For sticking my nose out
Sinking in my doubts
Wasting a good crowd
On a song that nobody knows

Hearing Voices

i’ve been hearing voices
can you cut them out, cut them out please?
i’ve been talking to the engine
he’s just using me for gasoline
singing, “let me get inside
i’ve been driving for days
and i’ve got 20 miles to go.”
until i finally give up
and my beard gets cut
i’ve 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
like 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 regret is a new friend
i’m going to 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’ve been hearing voices
yeah regret is a new friend
i’m going to 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 going to sober up
and learn that doubt isn’t real
THERE’S ONLY LOVE
SO LET YOUR PASSION SPEAK UP
DON’T LISTEN TO THE VOICES

Vows

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
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 relaxing
and finally do my taxes
I'll do my best to be a normal man
because I know that's all you're asking
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

Cosmic Flow
03:52
|

|
like a one two three
on the opening
come outside
won’t you pause to drift with me?
we’re going to stay put on that same page
we’ll be riding that same wave
it’s all about the cosmic flow
that we’ll never know
and to understand
would mean that we could choose our own
i bet the man that figured it all out
locked himself out of the house
all i ever do
is sit and dream of you
and wonder how that wish bone’s going to break
it’s like a favorite dream-state
of half asleep, and half awake
reality and dull shades switching place
you can wither in thought, like a burning thread
and leave your brain just’a pushing
bulging against the sides of your head.
in a distant dream
you took my hand and said, “baby, follow me.”
across the snow mounds in your high heels
my shoes weren’t even laced
and so we’ll try to block the sun
sticking out our thumbs
laying on our backs
above the dirt and garden grubs
you’ll take some pictures of my backyard
as i’m sliding a steel guitar
this flow is off the charts
and if it tears us both apart
it’s something we will live with another day
because right now it’s only you
in front of everything i do
we’ll cut the strings the stars tied to our legs
and as the sun sets i’m calmed by this muted truth
so let’s walk up to that hillside
nothing in the world
can beat this view

Body in the Park
04:46

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 golden 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've grown up into
and back when I had thick skin
and a freaked out little heart
going through all the motions
long before the body in the park

Stomping on Bugs
02:16

did you water the plants
is your heart okay
do you catch me grinning
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 and chain
you make a cuss sound pretty
and you don’t complain
yeah i know love
i’ve 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 laughing
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 them 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
make a whole new world
because you’re damn near perfect
for a ‘90s girl
