Failed Intentions
03:44
|
|||
|
moving away, to long island but not to stay / chasing a bogus dream, that i’ll be happy when i leave
zakariya’s on tour, cody and nick are home / work and netflix everyday
in this hole
glued to my phone, feeling alone
my best intentions often come up short
away from home, out on my own
my best intentions, often come up short
i hope that one day i can get back on course
i’m unhealthy, another thing i let go / everyday meals from a can, two at most
8 plus hours downstairs no windows no sun / running out of time this summer’s been a lazy one
but i won’t i’ll just fall into routine / of eating like shit resulting in bad dreams
where i won’t wake up because i’ll do nothing / except sit all day video games and movies

Leaving

my only excuse to rush this song was for a class assignment / i guess it’s better than a paper i’ve had enough of them / still we don’t have time to practice only to play shows / so if i forget the words i’ll just sing
*woahs*
well i’ll run away / 487 to stacy’s or 516 lee place / my plans aren’t half baked / if we can take my car then we’ll get on the freeway / this is no longer just to leave home / it’s to rock out so let’s go / let’s go / let's go / let's go / let's go
*more woahs*

Ordinary Day
03:16
|

get up for work, running late there’s barely time for toast / not feeling good, left my charger inside but i’ve got to go / pull out too fast, hear my car hit the curb and cringe real bad / drive to fast and almost crash / looks like I’ve got some luck I guess
almost out of gas, but at work i’m an intern so there ain’t much cash / guess i’ll stop real fast, last 20 in the tank at the express / crushed pack lunch but I care less, bread and peanut butter help me last / parking's really bad, so i’m an extra 10 late oh well I guess
i try to open the door but it’s locked / so i pull out my phone and sign into google docs / pull the calendar up last edit 5 minutes ago / no 8 hours i’m off

Fine Already
02:16
|

|
when i get home from work i need to lay down / been starin’ at my phone i’ve got a headache now / burnout and tired from useless shit / boredom and fluorescent lighting make me sick / but i can’t stand to quit because if i did / i’d have no gas to drive to any gig / power-chords and riffs might not make me big / but i’m gonna rock out while i live
i’m not wasting time, can’t make me feel bad about it
yeah it’s fun but work, what don’t you get
got a plan, i know you’re worried but
it’s fine it’s fine
i’m fine it’s fine
i’m bleeding out to do this / glued to a screen to prove it / the main source of my stress is the time that’s passing by / because if i get stuck doing a 9-to-5 i’d rather die

i feel okay but i’m losing my chance / to do something great / need to get out of school and do something cool / or i’m gonna break
passing on shows i can’t win / homework is f*cking old / if i’m gonna relearn something pointless i’d rather not pay to be told
this is bullshit and i know it but what can i do
i guess a degree is reason enough to stay in school
at least that’s what i keep telling myself wouldn’t you
but it’s getting harder everyday to push through
it’s getting hard to keep my head down / when my friend’s that dropped out leave town / all i want to do is go tour too / but until winter i’m stuck in school
it’s getting old i can’t win / every chance i get i binge / uncomfortable in this skin my patience is wearing thin

Far From Home
02:08
|
|||
|
let's get out early let's go / i wanna listen to this album and the best place is the road / i got it from some band last night at our show / i couldn't hear the words but they were great you should've heard them / they made the show
this isn't another song about getting sick of the road
because i find myself most ill when i'm home
so can i play this house and can i crash on your couch
because i'm far from home
i know i ask a a lot and it can be a pain / promote myself too much i'm the only one to blame / just trying to get details on my calender / organize myself so much because i can't
handle the uncertain / i'm my own worst burden / friends say i'm just uncertain / but pull back the f*cking curtain
and i'm getting sick i'm a piece of shit yeah we might head out before the last band's set / it's only an hour drive but i'll complain for most of it / because i get the same shit everyday and i'm tired of / answering the same shit everyday

i come to find, that you aren’t really on my mind / anymore anymore
and when you’re near i find myself begin to fear /that’s for sure that’s for sure
because i’m barely here / even when you appear / it’s what i dread the most / knowing i’ll end up alone
and i don’t feel, as much as i want to / i should be compelled, by feelings i get through / my friends and my music / not bad times when they’re few / but i put myself through, things i shouldn't do / always annoy others, why do i do this / i wish i’d give up, but i always give in
and i know i will do it again, until I’ve lost every single friend
and i know i will do it again, until inside i’m done feeling
