Two birds A picket fence beam Undeniably the best thing I’ve seen in weeks A church Tarot card read Undeniably the worst thing I’ve seen in weeks It’s not great to hear But trust me I’ve seen worse before Well I heard screaming and scratching The back post nerve-racking My cat must have had an itch I brewed up some coffee And turned on the tele This guy just won’t seem to quit How come you make things so complicated Media headline News broadcast station read “It’s gonna be a rough two weeks”

I was walking outside this morning Coffee brewed hot Pour in some cream So sweet When the news broadcast station Caught my attention and proclaimedIndefinitely 
Corrupt politicians Twisted religion Using psychopathic tendency’s Treated with prescribed medication Outward thoughts Frown upon by the higher ups I’m getting kinda sick of this I’m getting kinda sick of Christians that are racists Bible beating fascists Wall Street men with lots of money Cause they evade all of their taxes Private agendas That support your referendum I’m getting kinda sick of this I’m getting kinda sick of These corrupt politicians Twisted religion Using psychopathic tendency’s Treated with prescribed medication Outward thoughts Frown upon by the higher ups I’m getting kinda sick of this I’m getting kinda sick of Trash on the streets Violence disturbing the peace Racking up our student loans For a shit tier college degree Simple fixes So much time wasted I’m getting sick of pissed at this I’m really fucking annoyed The news broadcast station Caught my attention when it proclaimed The news broadcast station Caught my attention when it proclaimed The news broadcast station Caught my attention when it proclaimed The news broadcast station Caught my attention when it proclaimed We’re all going to die I was walking outside this morning Coffee brewed hot Pour in some cream So sweet I was walking outside this morning Coffee brewed hot Pour in some cream So sweet

Rant #1 01:50
This is a song for my fellow addicts With drug addicts Right ideals with bad executions It’s like a loop with no destination End up in the same place Lost sense of perception Mental health is questionable Self destruction is inevitable Maybe this time it’ll change Stuck at a job working minimum wage Time continues at an alarming rate Try to outrun it To find out that you are too late Maybe this is how it all will end Maybe this is how it all began This is a song for my fellow addicts With drug addicts Right ideals with bad executions It’s like a loop with no destination End up in the same place Lost sense of perception Mental health is questionable Self destruction is inevitable Maybe this time it’ll change Stuck at a job working minimum wage Time continues at an alarming rate Try to outrun it To find out that you are too late This is the time to take action Don’t lose yourself with all the distractions in front of you Just turn on the T.V. and watch the news From a whole bunch of different news channels

Best Buds 04:05
You say that everything will be okay But today I began to overthink Overthink myself Overthink my overall mental health Overthink why I chose this path I quit my job Cried a lot Let my friends become more distant More distant than I wish I let them be Pick up some habits & a box Of cigarettes that made me cough Up my lungs every time I woke up 
Put down the things that meant so much to me My guitar seems to be the only thing that makes me happy I made some friends Changed my ways They gave me hopes of brighter days I started a band Everything will be okay Everything will be okay Cause today Imma try not to overthink But I quit my job Cried a lot Let my friends become more distant More distant than I wish I let them be Pick up some habits & a box Of cigarettes that made me cough Up my lungs every time I woke up 
Put down the things that meant so much to me My guitar seems to be the only thing that makes me happy And her name is Bella I made some friends Changed my ways They gave me hopes of brighter days I started a band We are Pullin’ Daisies Just remember that everything will be okay Everything will be okay Cause today Imma try not to overthink Everything will be okay Everything will be okay Cause today Imma try not to overthink Everything will be okay Everything will be okay Cause today Imma try not to overthink Everything will be okay Everything will be okay Cause today Imma try not to overthink Everything will be okay Everything will be okay Cause today Imma try not to overthink Everything will be okay Everything will be okay Cause today Imma try not to overthink Everything will be okay Everything will be okay Cause today Imma try not to overthink Everything will be okay Everything will be okay Cause today Imma try not to overthink

DoyouDo 04:26
What do you do if you Were given no option No options to choose What do you do if you Were stuck at a crossroads Should I stay or go Should I stay or go It’s my choice to make I decide my own fate I choose my own destiny For the sake of brevity 
Imma make you proud Dad Imma make you proud of me Imma make you all proud But I’m not proud of where we are The world is stupid Political climate is stupid For fuck sake This shit’s getting old 
A knee to the throat That’s how the story goes That’s how the story went But that’s not how the story ends The world is stupid Political climate is stupid For fuck sake This shit’s getting old 
A knee to the throat That’s how the story goes That’s how the story went But that’s not how the story ends What do you do if you Were given a gun And no options to choose What do you do if you Were stuck at a crossroads Should I stay or go Should I stay or go It’s my choice to make I decide my own fate I choose my own destiny For the sake of brevity 
Imma make you proud Dad Imma make you proud of me Imma make you all proud But I’m not proud of where we are What do you do if you Were given no option No options to choose What do you do if you Were stuck at a crossroads 
I’m stuck at a crossroads

What if? 03:35
Take every precaution You can To be a better person A better man Make every decision As if it was your last Cause the past is the past Leave it at that Don’t let it tear you apart I know you’ve been through worse before I bet you have PTSD and anxiety that you ignore Take every precaution You can To be a better person A better man Make every decision As if it was your last Cause the past is the past Leave it at that But what if they hate me And decide not to listen What if every stupid decision was based by religion What if the truth came out And it was exactly as I told you it’d be Oh man Wouldn’t that be funny What if you were Given two options Choice one pull the level The other just watch and do nothing Let nature take its course What if you had the power to stop it Fate makes you choices And you make decisions based upon it Make your choice Don’t let it tear you apart I know you’ve been through worse before I bet you have PTSD and anxiety that you ignore Don’t let it tear you apart I know you’ve been through worse before I bet you have PTSD and anxiety that you ignore Don’t let it tear you apart You’ve been through worse before I bet you have PTSD and anxiety that you ignore

What do you do if you Where given a gun Had nowhere to go Nowhere to run Don’t get bent out of shape Your backbone won’t break That easily I’m just not stressing about it I’m not stressing about No I’m not stressing about it No I’m not stressing about it What’s the point In raising your own voice If no one’s around 
Leave the past in the past kid Turn that frown upside down Or they’ll give you something to cry about I’m really not stressing about it And you shouldn’t be stressing about it Cause I’m really not stressing about it I’m not stressing about it Sounds all change Had to rearrange
To fit a new mindset On life 20/20 visions blurred Spider senses My eyes are always on the mother fucking prize 
Keep things close But not too close 6 feet apart just to keep things comfortable Cause God knows all of us love to be comfortable 
Ha, whatever my name’s nick Nice to meet you Not that dick Who was hard to see through 
I state my mind Say my piece It’s quite alright You can kindly leave I’ll show you the door 
We know you’ve been through this before You know you’ve been through this before 
So what do you do if you Were given a gun So what do you do if you Were given a gun What do you do if you Were given a gun What do you do if you Were given a gun What do you do if you Were given a gun What do you do if you Were given a gun

Interlude? 01:48
Don’t hold your breath kid He’s got a gun Don’t hold your breath kid It’s only a finger and a thumb We keep on running And running And running Faster than we can We keep on running And running And running Gotta keep up with the old man We never stood a chance OH NO We got bills That we have to pay No other way of saying it No other way to explain the decisions already made It’s common sense Yet it makes no sense as to why This can possibly happen Question the direction and intensions Question the ones above But don’t hold your breath kid Cause he’s got a loaded gun And it’s pointed straight at you We’ll keep on running And running And running Faster than we can So we’ll keep on running And running And running Gotta keep up with the old man We’ll keep on running And running And running Faster than we can So we’ll keep on running And running And running And running And

I wrote this song Take it as you please Average at best Yet so naive to think that this could change anything A fail safe system Air tight plan Abandon station Every man for himself Cause those are just the cards we dealt And I will get sick of it And you will get sick of it I will get sick of it And you will get sick of it Real Real Real fucking quick How many miles will this car take me Cause I’m moving far away Yeah I’m moving far away The sirens go off in the distance I need to find somewhere safe Break apart these ball and chains 
I don’t want to be apart of it anymore I’m moving to another country Somewhere that they can’t touch me The fail safe system fell through This may be lethal What happened to the government for the people I started with a plan Got fucked by the man Lost my job no money god damn Can someone explain this So that I may understand I started with a plan Got fucked by the man Lost my job no money god damn Can someone explain this So that I may understand I started with a plan Got fucked by the man Lost my job no money god damn Can someone explain this So that I may understand I started with a plan Got fucked by the man Lost my job no money god damn Can someone explain this So that I may understand Lots of da’s I wrote this song Take it as you please Average at best Yet so naive to think that this could change anything I wrote this song Take it as you please Average at best Yet so naive to think that this could change anything I started with a plan Got fucked by the man Lost my job no money god damn Can someone explain this So that I may understand I started with a plan Got fucked by the man Lost my job no money god damn Can someone explain this So that I may understand I started with a plan Got fucked by the man Lost my job no money god damn Can someone explain this So that I may understand I started with a plan Got fucked by the man Lost my job no money god damn Can someone explain this So that I may understand

Soap 02:30
You tie me up You’ll tie me down Never understanding how Why or where You learned these knots Tied so tight I can barely move I cannot move From this chair From my body Shave my hair And make me clean Just make me clean I wanna know what it’s like to be me I wanna know what it’s like to be me Since when did I want to start getting high Again With my friends Destroy my lungs Bet my body then make me clean again But knowing me I’ll just end up destroying everything Just wash my body Wash my soul Wash me clean and then just let me go I’m begging you just let me go Shave my hair Take off my clothes Strip me naked so the hair will not poke Up my skin Shave my hair Wash my body Brush strokes on your skin Hair filled sink Paint them over Portraits made of ink Just wash my skin Scrub my skin Shave my hair Cause I am tired of being alone She says So can you please Lay me down into the water And wash my body Cause I can’t stand the feeling of my skin against my finger tips When I was over it And the tattoos I’ll cover all my scars with

So what happens When it tastes like water When it tastes like nothing when it touches your lips And the weight on the shoulders to keep the smile that barely fits Your cheekbones are growing tired Growing exhausted from the memories that lie there And the escapes that are no longer available Make you realize no one ever seemed to care for you But your makeup is running And I know you've spent so many hours on it I know I'm not a perfect man I'm just an average kid with no long term plans So how much do you expect from me Don't you worry I'll wipe the tears from your cheek So what happens When you go numb When your body no longer feels like your own So what happens when you are crying With no one but your empty bed to call your home And the darkness seems to be your only friend The only one who seems to fully care So when you cry And hope to die He will follow you closely and always be by your side But your makeup is running And I know you've spent so many hours on it I know I'm not a perfect man I'm just an average kid with no long term plans So how much do you expect from me Don't you worry I'll wipe the tears from your cheek 
I’ve got heavy cheekbones I’ve got heavy cheekbones I’ve got heavy cheekbones forever I’ve got heavy cheekbones forever So how could I be all that you want Cause I am nothing at all And I know That I'll let you down Since when did you care if I fall to the ground Blood soaked sheets My liver beat From all the substances it contains Dreaming of a day where I feel absolutely no more pain At all
15.
I'm walking down a road alone Are you on the other side Cause tonight I can't stand to be alone Tonight I need more than your voice over the phone I need you here I'm crawling down a road alone Can't seem to keep my feet on the ground My balance is gone Reality seems wrong What the fuck am I doing here And I'm lying in bed alone I've befriended what lives inside my head And I've come to terms with it all Yet it comes back again And again And again And again And again And I'm running down a road alone My feet can't seem to keep up with me They always seem so unsteady The ball and chains are to heavy This is the part were you leave This is the part were it ends But my best friends just got here So I'm going to give them a punk rock show Till we say goodbye till next time This always seems to be the hardest part The hardest part So it goes
16.
Do you suppose That drunk conversations Are more honest conversations Than sober ones 
That those conversations Are the ones we tend to forget Till the next time that we get drunk And bring it all up again 
Do you suppose That high conversations Are the type of conversations That go nowhere But those conversations Are the ones I tend to remember Somewhere deep down inside I was born with my father’s temper 
Do you suppose We can be honest for a change With ourselves Come to terms with who’s to blame No one else Can fix your situation This is your story Do you suppose That drunk conversations Are much more honest conversations Than sober ones The sober conversations are just less fun I guess I’ll digress to digest Everything you said 
Sick to my stomach The voices in my fucking head Are getting louder, but it’s whatever tho Life taught me how to be a man How to be the best man I can be How to achieve the dreams I dreamed up Back when I was 13 and picked up a guitar And learned my own chord progression I question the methods that we are taught But not the lesson it teaches But the sections left out That no one believes in 
Disconnected from self Selfless self deception The course that we are set on has no direction or plan Do you suppose We can be honest for a change With ourselves Come to terms with who’s to blame No one else Can fix your situation This is your story

Command C 03:28
What’s the point In arguing If no one has their own formulated opinions What’s the point In protesting If neither side Is listening Tell your story Right it down Make it real Keep it true Come to terms
With where you’ve been I know that you’re scared You’ll get through this 
Make a copy Play it in your head Say the things That are left unsaid 
Deny your privileges Wasted youth They’ll be by your side And carry you 
Just copy and paste Your favorite things together In a scrapbook Just copy and paste Your favorite things together In a scrapbook What’s the point In arguing For arguments sake
Let’s dissect everything we say 
Till it makes no sense My common sense Says stop But I keep Going Tell your story Right it down Make it real Keep it true Come to terms
With where you’ve been I know that you’re scared You’ll get through this 
Make a copy Play it in your head Say the things That are left unsaid 
Deny your privileges Wasted youth They’ll be by your side And carry you 
Just copy and paste Your favorite things together In a scrapbook Just copy and paste Your favorite things together In a scrapbook

Rant #2 02:10
Where do you stand in all of this Where do you sit on the scale Is it morally correct Or at best subjectively influenced So play your cards to your chest Make sure you play it safe Don’t let your privilege get the best of you Silence is a disgrace This is a time to take action This is a time for change I feel like they have it all backwards This shouldn’t be about race Since when did this become political Since when did our fellow man Not get the respect of another Just lend out a helping hand Pick them up and they’ll pick you up We all share the same planet Did your mother not love you enough You’re taking it all for granite Ask yourself Where do I sit on the scale Is it morally correct Is it morally correct So play your cards to your chest Make sure you play it safe Don’t let your privilege get the best of you Silence is a disgrace Ask yourself Where do I sit on the scale Is it morally correct At best subjectively influenced So play your cards to your chest Make sure you play it safe Don’t let your privilege get the best of you Silence is a disgrace Ask yourself Where do I sit on the scale Is it morally correct At best subjectively influenced So play your cards to your chest Make sure you play it safe Don’t let your privilege get the best of you Silence is a disgrace Ask yourself Where do I sit on the scale Is it morally correct At best subjectively influenced Is it morally correct Or just subjectively influenced Is it morally correct At best subjectively influenced Is it morally correct At best subjectively influenced Is it morally correct At best subjectively influenced

2 Birds 01:05
2 birds Flying home again Where will they fly too I don’t know 3 birds Baby bird goes off to school Where will they go too The parents don’t know It’s all for show 2 birds A picket fence beam Was undeniably the best thing I’ve seen in weeks A church Burned down to the ground Where will they go now You should have just stayed at home

Don’t hesitate kid You’re on the right track Better leave the cards on the table Then play a hand like that It’s risky business Yet it’s all the same Now flip you’re cards So we can see who won this game 
Maybe next time I’ll let you win Maybe the next time we play again We can stick to the rules Not abuse The power invested in you By the people For the people Yet the common people The didn’t choose you It’s an unfortunate turn of events An awkward conversation with friends I highly recommend Not bringing up that subject again 
It’s risky business
Yet it’s all the same So flip your cards So we can see who won this game Maybe next time I’ll let you win Maybe the next time we play again We can stick to the rules Not abuse The power invested in you By the people For the people Yet the common people Yeah the common So don’t hesitate kid You’re on the right track Better leave the cards on the table Then play a hand like that It’s risky business Yet it’s all the same So flip you’re cards So we can see who won this game 
Maybe next time I’ll let you win Maybe the next time we play again We can stick to the rules Not abuse The power invested in you By the people For the people Yet the common people The didn’t choose you
21.
Here’s my hot take On the subject matter at hand Don’t change the subject so quickly You simply do not understand 
Better educate yourself next time Better decide On which side You stand behind You’d better hope that you’re right HEY! Here’s the cold hard facts We’re spending far to much cash On a lot of nonsense It’s nonsensical to put it into words Don’t raise your gun We are only trying to have our voices heard We’ll say their name Eric Garner John Crawford III Michael Brown Ezell Ford Dante Parker Johnathan Sanders Freddie Gray George Mann Tanisha Anderson Frank Smart Natasha Mckenna Tony Robinson Anthony Hill Mya Hill Phillip White Jacob Blake Patterson Brown Jamar Clark David Joseph Christopher Davis Kevin Mathews Janet Wilson Randy Nelson Torrey Robinson Darius. Robinson Kevin Hicks Willie Tillman Paul O'Neal George Floyd Stephan Clark Breonna Taylor Aaron Bailey Alton Sterling Sandra Bland ... (cont.) And to all the unjustified We will say your name You're just a sheep in wolves clothes We won’t play your game

Step by Step 02:44
Step by step by step by step It goes longer and longer Further and further away It was my own choice to stay It gets harder and harder and harder and harder The more you think about it The more that it tends to complicate The narrative Narrator please Who’s to blame? Change the focal point Tends to distort the image Word of mouth is a bitch If only you listened To the shit pouring out of his You’d feel bad for all of those innocent kids Names on papers Turned into names on signs Dotted lines that are meant to be overturned Sell your soul for profit To support their agenda You can’t foul us this time Respect is earned It goes step by step by step by step It goes longer and longer Further and further away It was my own choice to stay It gets harder and harder and harder and harder The more you think about it The more that it tends to complicate Narrator please Who’s to blame? He has to change their focal point To protect his image Karmas a bitch You’ll get what you’re given It’s the way of the world’s Weight on my chest So much pressure my spine might cave in And it all repeats again It all repeats again my friend Just turn on the television And flip it to any news channel
23.
Clench your muscles Break your spine Then you'll realize That everything you've ever been told Was one big fucking lie Don't lie to yourself Your health Is slowing deteriorating I guess I'll quit Say your part Speak the words See if they even care Let them know you want to be heard And that you're not scared Of the repercussions I function At a million miles a minute See if they can catch me I bet they can't catch me And I'm scared Of dying at a young age From something stupid And nobody hearing the words that I sang I sang to myself Much longer than I'll probably do here I guess I'll stay And I'm scared Of dying at a young age From something stupid And nobody hearing the words that I sang I sang to myself Much longer than I'll probably do here I guess I'll stay And I'm scared Of dying at a young age From something stupid And nobody hearing the words that I sang I sang to myself Much longer than I'll probably do here I guess I'll stay Clench your muscles Break your spine Clench your muscles Break your spine Just clench your muscles Break your spine Then you'll realize that it was all A lie
24.
I fell asleep with my clothes on But not in my own room But on my best friends attic sofa I should head home soon Do you think of me I think of you On my bathroom shower floor I hear that’s your favorite spot too 
Let the water run down your face Maybe it’ll take the pain away Just make sure that you drink the sadness down Cause that’s what you’ll end up doing anyway I can’t seem to cope right I’m hurting my own health I’ve gone several days without eating Cause I can’t seem to find myself 
I talked to my Dad About what I want And he seemed to laugh at me when I told him All I want is to grocery shop And that may not make sense to you And none of you will ever see All I want to do is enter a grocery store And not face crippling anxiety I write these stupid songs Basically to myself Hoping some day someone will listen And understand what I felt If no one does Hey that’s okay What the fuck’s the point of writing these songs If there is a good chance no one will listen anyway If you are listening Thank you
