We've all got
Differing life spans
Wasting our hopes on chance
With so many people
Why didn't we notice?
We've all been living through
Someone else
Leeching off others trust
With so many loves
Where did we go wrong?
Well we've been drinking all the time
And we've been smoking all the time
And youth is wasted on the young
We'll all be dead when it's gone
Our black lungs were singing
Your heart is dying
And you barely have a breath to sing
Then god told you to turn
the other cheek
And the pills that swam in your veins
Cry it's time to go

Late night drives
And sing a-longs
We call out directions from
The backseat
Always too late
Here without you
I do the best I can
I'll sing your words
I'll hum the chords
it's like you never left
Our voices
Carried out the window
The winds
Always change

4 days away
My future in front of me
Tattered hearts sang with uncertainty
So you know you're not left behind
I'll play this song
For your worried mind
It's summertime again
Sleepless nights
Alright alright alright
It's summertime again
Sleepless nights
Alright alright
Alright alright
Alright alright

I was 9 years old
When she died
I thought I should cry
So I tried real hard
I miss her now
and that smelly house
my routine
Avoiding school
watching tv
I was 9 years old
And I'll never know
What life would be like
If I knew what I know now
I was so naive
It was better to think
That we all go to heaven
Only bad guys go to hell
I was 9 years old
I was a fucking joke
But no more
Than I am now

Sad Song

Well I chase you down to the edge
Of the driveway
Grow two feet every step I'd take
And it's sad that we have to grow old
And it's sad that she'll never hear these songs
Some nights
Wandering aimlessly
Looking at the stars
Why do we have to die
The voice in my head
Tells me sometimes
Were better off dead
Than alive
While running
The sound of my footsteps
Echoes the songs
They sang every night
And we'll sing loud
Of all the things you have done
And your joy
Everyday
Like the rising sun
I built a wall around my heart,
So it won't break.
When my thoughts drift to you,
I drink them away.
And it's sad that the bottle runs empty
And it's sad that I need it to be happy

I'm sorry, I never was
what you wanted me to be
I love you and you drive me
fucking crazy
I'm alone and slurring my speech
One foot in the grave
And it feels amazing
Skinned my knee
And cried out lord help
In the sun or the rain
No love from a god have I felt
I've been searching
For some kind of savior
But in the end
Another bottle is all I wish for
I'm awake
With itchy eyes
And the sun
is barely in the sky
This is too early
I am on the brink
Of something beautiful
I am on the brink
Of something terrible
I am on the brink

Let the young feed on their elders
And the elders do the same
Let the lovers love
Love eachother
Til their hearts all catch the flame
Let our voices cry in unison
Let the echoes make waves
Let the steamer ships rule the oceans
While the tankers give praise
Let the caps melt
Let the earth flood
Let the water boil
Let our hearts burst
Just sit and watch
Your childhood homes
Just sit and watch them
Fade into the sea
And sing of how
we try to forget the things
learned from our fathers
We clung to ideals so much
We hated each other
And the promise we made
To be nothing like them
Was slowly chipped away
When we started talking again
And if this has to end
Let it end right now
Let everything we've done
Be our shot across the bow
Let the caps melt
Let the earth flood
Let the waters boil
Let our hearts burst
Let our grudges be forgotten
All the baggage we kept
Let our memory of better days
Be all that is left

I see you float by on a cloud
I think it's time you come down
I won't live life with my eyes closed
I'm not content with my
Head up my ass
or buried in the ground

I am always fucked
And it never feels good
It's never the way
That I want it to be
6 months of keeping
My chin up
Hasn't changed a goddamn thing
Hunched over indoors
and waiting for my time
Can't hold my head up
when I'm walking outside
That look she gave me under the moon
Don't look the same in the daylight
I am always fucked
And I'm taking you with me
To the hell I made in my mind
It's a desolate place
Where nothing grows
Where no one would go
If they had a choice
I am always fucked
I am all that is rat
I am all that is rat
I am all that is rat
