Soft 03:00
Will the ice caps hurry up and melt It'll save the Golden State and give us some new beaches to smoke on and trash I think we'll all like that High school Junior me is drowning under 6 feet he wants to go on kidding, this can't be where I'm living endorsing San Francisco, as a sort of base home long for nights in Portland and more journeys north I'll trade (International Organ) International aid for a walk on Hawthorn I'll talk your ear off some more tell me know if you're bored Cuz I'll look out for mountains make you look at Mt. Hood makes more plans for Muir Woods I'll go on about the sun rise over Shasta on salvia and acid I woke up for the cascades and stared at them the whole day Giant eyes from the train she's laughing at my scattered brain This lack of obstacles Its a path of least resistance you're such a fucking human predictable and useless comically clueless lacking in a purpose I'll some how make it worth it I know that I have to
2.
From the city, to the suburbs, from my backyard to my couch. I could spend another hour wishing that I was somewhere else. Would that really be the best use of my self? Would I really be any better if I was anywhere else. I saw god once drinking a beer. He said settle down son its easy to forget why you're here. Have another cold one on the almighty. Cuz looking down is always gonna be a drag. Just be thankful for that shit in life that you already have. Cuz everybody's more fucked up than you know. And I hope you can find a safe ride home. A friend or a family member to tell you that you should probably go. I think god was horribly drunk. When he made us all he kinda fucked up. But I won't hold that against him. I enjoy the life I was given. But my brain and my asshole tend to make a lot of shit. And its easy to loose yourself in all of it. (Stupid long ending)
3.
Traffic Always comes to a stand still. Ya I know the true nature of Progress and I could feel shitty forever without ever changing my habits I swear my head must weight ten thousand pounds Cuz every city I visit I find another thought that weighs me down You call this a process I call it anything by progress It's fragile easily lost its best just too forget Cuz I hate your goddamn solutions and songs that make the space awkward you said god has a plan but god isnt really the right word. And all the writing that I've written like the all the driving that I've driven It was temporary tenuous at best Fragile Easily lost. Its best just to forget.

Dog Song 02:03
Girl you're a dog A dog that I've had since I was six years old You're a disease A disease much worse than any ticks or flees You're the light at the end of the tunnel you're the train rolling at me Catch and release I caught my tongue but somehow message received Its a disgrace A disgrace that we are on a different page You're the one who holds all the money Where to go when you're friends don't think you're funny My tv broke My channel's gone My insides hurt You're insights are all wrong If it sounded bad Know it looked worse Fucked up my car In the road but somehow still on the fence When the words get caught in my throat You're a dog at the end of a rope and I know it
5.
I'll keep it short and sweet Cuz I'm still learning what this means to me Get praised for all my hypocrisy I've been spending my time with my tv. And I know its true Its a fortune well spent sitting in my room asking my friends "yes. How are you? Do you plan on doing something fun soon?" I think its impossible. Like a flower growing in this city or a surfer surfing in death valley Know its all unstoppable And I've been pulling teeth ignoring bleeding It's deceiving It's a sleep aid labeled adderall It's the friend that buys you alcohol It's the friend that tells you that she'll call And I still wonder when a friend from the past should stay a friend from the past is she doing alright? Should I not ask? Its amazing how memories can fade so fucking fast. And its deceiving ignoring bleeding

Get Laid 02:31

Cuz the best shows are the ones you play for yourself with a beer in one had for your mental health But i dont play sad songs theyre too sentimental I prefer the faster ones with an upbeat tempo Cuz if its up to the things you do to change her mind then you'll be drunk on your porch again alone buts its alright
8.
Reality is so damn weird if you think about it too much That's why I chose to sing a song instead She cast a spell and away I fell spiraling in descent Hopefully Ill land in her arms And we'll fly together to escape the weather and built a house on the sun Just like Brigham Young had in mind Say something say anything, Make sure the words you say match the words you sing and Hopefully it will work out in the end. I said say something say anything about the books you've read and the places you've been and hopefully it will work out in the end.
9.
Maybe I need to learn to relax and everything will be just fine Cuz maybe I've been on her mind cuz god knows she's been on mine And I don't know if the world has changed or how i see it has Cuz I've got guilt that could send me to a chiropractor and I've got things on my conscious I've got shit I'd like to tell you but saying it right is harder than science And I don't know if the world has changed or how i see it has I don't know if I have changed or the world around me has
