Saccharine 02:35
this is how it always starts, with a look in the eye, and a hold of the hand i guess, i didn't think too hard about it, frankly did anyone else give a damn? and i suppose it's just a matter of time, till we're lying in the grass, getting covered in bites it's just the little tax that you just have to pay when you have so much time in your life i dont know where i'm going all i know is i can't just let the time go by i just feel i've got to try and late at night through the snores of my sleeping roommate i find that the breath in my lungs is so much sweeter than it's ever been i can't wait to make this house a home again.

Milkshakes 03:20
hey man whatcha up to? do you wanna do anything tonight? we haven't hung out in a while we could grab some shakes after 9 we could go play pinball you could even crash at my place let's just out of our heads and not have to think bout anything i know it's late but i know there's still time for joyrides and milkshakes look at the stars and realize that each one reminds us who we are but it's not so easy they've been puttin more street lights up so the view is kinda hazy cause it doesn't get dark enough isn't that poetic? isn't that just so profound? whatever, this shake tastes great we'll just find peace in this town or whatever we're looking for on a night like tonight you can even have the aux cord just keep me feelin alright and i know it's hectic i know it's all going down but as soon as you get off work i'll pick you up we'll drive around i know it's late but i know there's still time for joyrides and milkshakes look at the stars and realize that each one reminds us who we are

April 02:34
the students rush their papers and are picking out the capers from the meal they had too many times that year they didn't like em anyways but ate them just to prove to all their friends "look im a human doing normal human things" i'll make it clear despite the theatrics i'm doing quite alright i'd like to think so don't you worry april i'll soon be home and i'll get to hear your voice again yeah a full three months is far too long i've been writing down these thoughts in permanent ink so don't you worry april i'll send you letters i'll tell you all about these boring weeks all the people that i've met all the things that i have seen i've barely gotten my feet wet it couldn't hold a candle up to us at night in the frozen air the snow like glitter frozen there nearly 4 am and counting but we both know we don't really care or a kickback sippin on whiskey and cokes and the lightweight fool who gags and chokes sipping nasty drinks with some string lights on just shooting the shit with the tv on it's chill but i miss you, april despite the theatrics i'm doing quite alright i'd like to think so don't you worry april i'll soon be home and i'll get to hear your voice again a full three months is far too long i've been writing down these thoughts in permanent ink so don't you worry april with me and you i think we're gonna make it out alright yeah, we're gonna make it out alright

Ugly/Ugly 03:08
you never feel the same you barely know my name and still it's not my place to diss you face to face you fought behind your wall i hid, you stood so tall took time to figure out ugly inside and out cause if it's not too late, i've been waiting for you with your fucked up face, yeah this hate is toward you i got no problem with the cold shoulder but remember that the both of us will soon be getting older yeah i'd like to carry on, but i'd hate to bore you (ugly inside and out) (ugly inside and out) (ugly inside and out) (ugly inside and out) (inside and out) (inside and out) (inside and out) (inside and out)

Give It Hell 04:05
peer out the window at the cars outside, you wish you were someone different living other lives, it's not anyone's fault but your own but that just makes it all the worse when you're alone as if the silence makes it any easier to think clearly when you're stuck in your head checking your cellphone way too much wish you were out instead so i'll give you one more hug and then bud you're on you're own you know, fuck the things they said you gotta get out of your head so they'll give you one more chance so just stand right up and dance you know, fuck the things they said you're gonna do it all instead you used to think you had it figured out, and now you realize you didn't, so you sit and pout, you know everyone dies, and i know that you know so stop moping around when you're alone i know it's harder than it ought to be, but it it will get easier so clench your teeth, put on a beanie and jacket, leave home and find your self in everyone else who is alone all i want to do is get out of here be done with school, i don't know how to tell you but this waiting shit was never cool, i wanna put all of this to rest i wanna feel cold air fill my chest i wanna do something i wanna give this shit my all i wanna give it hell so i'll give you one more hug and then bud you're on you're own you know, fuck the things they said you gotta get out of your head

Pacing 02:59
find it hard to believe you're not here with me stuck here on lane street still trapped in my room i won't see you soon, i guess pinned to my bedsheets and i know it's just no use being so damn mopey all of the time but if i had just one good thing up here i'd be fine i'd be alright eating dinner with the lights off stroll the city in some high tops like i'm tryna be someone that i'm not (if you saw me then you might scoff) mm, well find it hard to believe you're not here with me stuck here on lane street still trapped in my room i won't see you soon, i guess pinned to my bedsheets

Again 04:26
an eight year silence i'm fine i promise i want you to know if i don't make it home tonight, i'm sorry if i can't make it all alright, forgive me i've just been running out of time-- it's so cliche but that doesn't make it go away, it sticks and stays a lightyear's distance i'll never listen well here we go again, again again, again again, again, again here we go again, again again, again (i'm stuck inside my thoughts) again, again, again (caught up on what i lost) as if i never tried breathing the stupid frigid air as if you're all not leaving yeah you leave me standing there why should i why should i still be here or anywhere else why should i why should i ever go home or leave home or anything, anywhere tell me, tell me anything at all just keep me breathing convince me, convince me nothing could be wrong my hands are seizing if i could tell it to you i'd say it any way i can i'm so scared of getting left behind and i know that it's unreasonable to think the world is ending, or that you'll leave me, but prove me wrong it's all happened before and it'll happen again it's all happened before and it'll happen again it's all happened before so here we go again so here we go again so here we go again, again again, again (i'm stuck inside my thoughts) again, again, again (caught up on what i lost)

turn off the lights and come sit down it's it's been too long since you've been right here with me and though the gravity's lost on all of us maybe we'll find it tonight, we'll wait and see i'm just so tired of sitting in my room how can you blame me it's not easy to do i haven't written in ages, poems or songs i haven't felt this in ages, like i belong i miss the projects and late night TV i miss the shit talk and proving our teachers wrong maybe it's just hard cause now you're somewhere else and i know that it's just not like us it happens anyway maybe i'm just tired of fighting for everything and just know that i'll always be here to take it day by day so if you had a bad day or i had a bad day you can always hit me up. just call with no warning play games until morning take our minds off all this stuff.

Wrists 03:47
you've said it all before when? where? well you're not sure but you've ought to get it right this time and if i don't close the door then you'll be pissed i'm sure laying in the bathtub crying like everything's normal is it bad to wish life was ending? was ending? left everyone on read and i went back to bed still in my jeans, my glasses on i'm not even trying and if i don't call you back then that's the end of that pawing at your cellphone trying to make all your thoughts go away and if i was still in dallas and you still in la me, drunk, stumbling and naive one false step from taking my life away would they even care about me? would you even know my name? do you think i'd have more songs to write? do you think that i'd feel the same? i'd find myself in stairwells top floor, parking garage i fell asleep in the stockrooms writing a text to my whole entourage i never want to grow up don't make me grow up i never want to forget what made me this way i don't want to grow up i don't want to grow up i'm just kind of tired of today

Juicy Fruit 02:30
i don't really wanna do this i don't really wanna go outside tonight can you please turn on the music i just want a little silence in my life and i know it's gotten too hard to keep in touch and i know that i've gone too far to keep this crutch daydreaming, stuck in my car i'm here too much moving like binary stars afraid to touch but it's stuck in my teeth and it won't come out, and it's got me spinnin in circles like a roundabout back at my desk again write a song that'll never reach you filling all my notebooks with high school memories and i should be over it but nothing really ever goes away and my head just latches on to your voice in the night and the songs that you used to play but i'm just so tired and i can't go home should i shut my mouth is it all still fine will we be okay let me go to sleep make it go away make it go and yeah i'm sick of it so what's the point just keep it moving in the thick of it like juicy fruit you can't stop chewing picking fights with all my friends who don't think i can make it i've got the wherewithal so put up that wall, i'm gonna break it maybe it's time burn that bridge it's time to cut that tie it's time to move along from here on i'm trying something new i'm getting out of bed and moving on from you.

about

this album used to be called self-titled (this is everything and anything i think you want me to be) but that was a little too pretentious. the album isn't any less pretentious now that the parenthetical is gone but i hope you like it anyway.
