Couch Surfer 03:07
I waste my time scrolling pictures on a phone Ignoring calls while I sit at home I think it's fine, but how would I actually know When I'm stuck here and I can't let go I wanna get away from the mind-numbing routine But I don't wanna do it by myself So I'll wait another day expecting things to change While never getting up off of the couch Don't understand how anyone could get so close Without a chance of redeeming hope I guess I can, but do I really wanna cope? I say I'll try, but you know I won't I wanna get away from the mind-numbing routine But I don't wanna do it by myself So I'll wait another day expecting things to change While never getting up off of the couch

Glow 03:04
Do you ever stop to look around a room just to observe it? All the shadow faces staring at a phone They start to glow I don't want to act like I don't ever do Don't have to like it I wonder if we'll ever get away from all the screens I want to lighten up the mood and feel okay But every time I try it just becomes too much to deal with And the kids can't function through a normal day It's an addiction Take a hit then roll another cigarette It's a slow burn I want to lighten up the mood and feel okay But every time I try it just becomes too much to deal It just becomes to deal It just becomes to deal with too

Red light I can't stay focused on the place I'm supposed to be Turn signals in sync with the F-150 in front of me Falls out and syncs back up again When the potential of ten and two then the right foot rears its ugly head So I press it I press it hard Literally as far away as I can get from two oaks on Hawthorne In the suburbs of a city I felt like fucking off But I guess that's not enough

Bummer City 02:25
I need to get out of the house I'm feeling locked up now Drive up to the coast of New England Stay for the weekend All alone I'm glad I said it out loud I gotta figure it out I'll do the same thing and hope for different results Maybe I don't expect too much at all I took a walk to the pub I've had the privilege since I was 21 I take it for granted Like everything else that I've been handed On and on I'm glad I said it out loud I gotta figure it out I'll do the same thing and hope for different results Maybe I don't expect too much at all Don't wanna be here for the rest of my life I'll always wonder, was it a waste of my...

I've been up for half the night Running circles in my mind I was hoping to start focusing But oh no, all my worries crept up from inside Watch old movies until dawn Listen to every Beach Boys song And I always get so lonely on a holiday or after it rains It's less of a feeling, yeah, it's more of a haunt How do you shake it aside? Aren't you dying inside? Well, I don't wanna know And I just can't let it go There's nothing I could do that would make sense to you

8th Castle 03:29
I went on a journey through the mountains I walked in the heat of the dunes Then I began to feel sea sick A little bit like down and out Ended up stuck on an island But floated away on a cloud I wanted words to mean something I wanted dreams to come true Though it was over before it started I'll find a way back to you I was so cold, I was freezing And all of the world seemed so big I boarded a ship on the ocean To get to the castle she's in I wanted words to mean something I wanted dreams to come true Though it was over before it started I'll find a way back to you

Brain Freeze 02:36
I walked a mile in my own shoes I felt uncomfortable again I was a product of a new sensation With no idea how to fit in Always afflicted, I was one in the same Part of a game Give me a break from every bullshit demand And I'll be okay I need the heat of the sun I wanna stare at a painting on a wall Feel like I really belong I can't relate to anyone I don't sustain any emotion I guess it's something I should fix But with a problem comes procrastination I gotta add it to the list I'm losing focus and I can't organize All of my time Take a vacation far away from a job And I'll be alright I need the heat of the sun I wanna stare at a painting on a wall Feel like I really belong I can't relate to anyone at all

Medium Raw 01:14
I'm not sure about anything It feels, it grows Expands, explodes Enjoys that then makes a toast To all that comes and goes, regrets it, then makes the most It's a comedy and a tragedy of errors It's not quite like indifference Maybe or maybe not So we gear up for the long haul with alcohol and caffeine tablets Acetaminophen and heartburn medicine
9.
Waves 02:11
I took a look around and stared out at the ocean I pressed against the waves I wanted something to seem like it was in focus I wanted to feel brave When I submerged I felt a rush of blood in motion But I was not afraid Then the summer, it was over Nothing golden can stay I resolved to move on All it took was enough to feel like going under Let the warmth of the sun hold me over I realized too late that nobody would notice I guess it's all the same I resolved to move on All it took was enough to feel like going under Let the warmth of the sun hold me over

That hazy kinda feeling seems so hard to ignore The end of summer creeping on the edge of the shore You won't hear a sound, you'll feel it in your bones When the sun goes down you'll hope you aren't alone You can't hold back the waves You sink or swim or float away When I was young there was a place I'd go all the time They tore it down, paved over it, and left it behind In the summertime the fields are emerald green But it's all a lie once autumn turns a leaf You can't hold back the waves You sink or swim or float away Coastline gold Soon the tide will take it all away
