Introduction To The Loneliness
All I wanted was a good year
I don't think it's much to ask
All we needed was a good year
Thankfully it ain't the last
But now
I'm feeling torn down
But now
I'm feeling worn out
So now
I'll tear it all down
So now
I'll lay it all out

Stressed and Depressed
How can I write about getting better
when I can’t get better myself?
Which of these lines won’t make it off paper?
How many songs won’t leave the shelf?
Spill my guts out as ink on paper
Squeeze dry my heart right on this stage
I’ll clean the blood up later
Please don’t let me get in the way
How can I write about getting better
when I can’t get better myself?
How many times can I cry about something
before the words leave my mouth?
Spill my guts out as ink on paper
Squeeze dry my heart right on this stage
I’ll clean the blood up later
Please don’t let me get in the way
I’m overwhelmed and I’m a mess
I feel stressed out and depressed
Maybe all that I need is rest
I feel stressed out and depressed

Pity Party On, Wayne!
capo1
I don’t want a pity party
I don’t want you feeling sorry
I don’t want a pity party
So don’t feel sorry for me
You,
Don’t want to listen to me bitch and moan
Don’t want to hear me complain on the phone
Don’t want to be around me when I’m sad
Even when I don’t think it’s that bad
And you don’t want to fall asleep with me
Don’t even want to fuck and watch T.V.
So maybe I’m too blind right now to see
That you don’t want to spend your time with me
I don’t want a pity party
I don’t want you feeling sorry
I don’t want a pity party
So don’t feel sorry for me
So don’t

Be Gentle
Be gentle dear
I am more fragile than I seem
Be gentle dear
You know I break easily
I just can’t stand to see myself like this
So I’ll just stay away from mirrors
I’ll keep distance
Be gentle dear
I feel dysphoric today
Be gentle dear
Am I as pretty as you say?
I just can’t stand to see myself like this
So I’ll just stay away from mirrors
I’ll keep distance

Tofu Scramble (Nothing Part 1)
capo1
I woke up and fell asleep again
Sometimes it feels good to just sleep in
I got high and made myself breakfast
Walked my dogs and texted up some friends
Later on I watched some trash TV
Sometimes it feels good just to do nothing
Made some tea and zoned out for a bit
Fucked around on twitter talking shit
I got stoned and picked up my guitar
Tried to write but I didn’t get too far
So I listened to music to clear my head
Sometimes it feels good just to do nothing

Perpetual Bummer
So this is what I get for sticking around?
She said “you have to grow up sometime”
Well I wish my feet
Weren’t so firmly fucking
Planted to the ground
Woah woah oh oh
And know I’ve gotta get out
But I’m stuck in this rut
I feel like a tourist in my own house
And I keep telling myself that things will get better
And I keep telling myself that things will get better
And I keep telling myself myself

How Could I Ever?
I’ve punched a wall a few times more
Than I’d like to admit
I lied to people I cared about
And I still feel like shit
I stole from strangers that didn’t have
Much more than I did
I wish I hadn’t done all these things
But I know that I did
I’ve been a shitty partner and
I’ve been an asshole friend
I took some people for granted and
I lost them in the end
Does it mean much if I tell you now
That I wouldn’t do that again?
I wish I hadn’t done all these things
But I know that I did
How could I ever be a mother?
How could I ever be your lover?
How could I ever be a mother?
How could I ever be a friend, again?
Again?

Jump Scares In Surround (Nothing Part 2)
capo2
I want you
To take me to the movies
And I want to
Hold hands during the jump scares
I just want to do nothing with you
I want you
To want to be around me
Cause I want to
Be around you too
I just want to do nothing with you
I want you
I just want to do nothing with you

I used to think about
And dream about when I was older
“Nothing but good times ahead.”
At least that’s what I thought,
But now I Stop, Drop, Roll around
But still I just can’t put it out
This fire that’s inside of me
And all around me burning down
The things I always thought were true
That are bigger than me or you
Like heroes almost never win
And when they do they end up dead
I think back to that August 12th
A day that I’d rather live without
A guy said “Both sides are to blame”
Than how come just one side was slain?
It seems like nothing changes
But we keep seeing these “changes”
And no matter just how minuscule
These “compromises” seem to be
They expect only gratitude
We get a push they get 2 pulls
I used to think my vote would count
The DNC just shut us down
So let’s throw a banger
Cause 2 parties just aren’t enough
When both sides start to look the same
Apologists and cover ups
So we Stop, Drop, Roll around
But still we just can’t put it out
So lets use what’s inside of us
Fire vs fire
Burn it all
Burn this shit
To the ground
I just can't believe
No, I just don't want to believe
That I live in a country
Where racists aren’t afraid to be
No This isn't freedom
And this isn't bravery
I won’t pledge my allegiance
To false justice and liberty
It’s land of the violence
And home of the poverty
No this isn't freedom
And this isn't bravery
And I can't even be sarcastic
Terrified to go in public
Find it hard to place my thoughts
When everything is so fucked up
Cause Inbreed republican
Racist white supremacists
Are Marching for some non existent
Bogus white oppression shit
Their rich kid entitlement
Southern hick mentality
Is blindly voting for a fascist
Their all a part of his regime
So we Stop, Drop, Roll around
But still we just can’t put it out
So lets use what’s inside of us
Fire vs fire
Burn it all
Burn this shit
To the ground

Something’s Wrong
There’s nothing wrong with being sad sometimes
And writing it in songs
There’s nothing wrong with getting stoned sometimes
To feel like you belong
There’s nothing wrong with getting drunk sometimes
Just don’t drink every night
There’s nothing wrong with being sad sometimes
I think I drank too much
I think I smoked too much
The room is spinning now
I feel like I might pass out
A song’s nowhere to be found
It’s starting to feel wrong now
There’s nothing wrong with being sad sometimes
And writing it in songs
There’s nothing wrong with getting stoned sometimes
To feel like you belong
There’s nothing wrong with getting drunk sometimes
Just don’t drink every night
There’s nothing wrong with being sad sometimes
There’s nothing wrong with being sad sometimes
