Moon, is cut into 3 by the shades of my apartment
Still can't wrap my mind around what happened
We should've been more responsible
But it's not like we've ever been credible
C: Do your parents love you?
Or is that what you think?
It's so controversial
If you think about it
I think I'm freaking out of my skin
Or maybe it's just the state I'm in
Cause I can't seem to get out of my head
I shouldnt be this anxious on ACID
With my eyes wide as I step inside of my house

The rocking chair we used to sit with
And sing lullabies in, still sits
In the room where we now reside and watch TV and kill our minds
Softly but surely you know we're doing the best that we can
You're paying rent paycheck to paycheck
Avoiding obstacles and paying off the debt that we owe to the school that we know
And to college, why did we need it?
Cause' if money can't buy happiness
Then could someone help me out cause I think that I'm doing this wrong
I don't want to settle
Settle in the middle like the rest of us
And I don't want for things to just be 'ok'
I wanted to be better than yesterday
But I can't see passed my own nose
My Ma and my Dad are the only ones who know
About this feeling, that I can't change
And that I am the only one I have to blame for the problems that I have

Spray Me on The Wall
02:36

Come on man, we just got here
I don't want to talk about it, if you don't want to talk about it
Honestly, I really don't like the sound of your voice
I don't like the sound of mine but thats not my choice
C; Spray me on the wall of my apartment
I want to feel permanent, patronized and pertinent
But im not
I didn't think I would make it past graduation
Now I'm sitting here in my parents basement sweet jubilation
I got caught in the glove compartment but I did that to myself
Got caught underneath the covers with my love under water said Jarrod
Oh well
C:
But Im not
After all that I do

LVC vs. Albright
01:50
|

|
You were doing porn in the valley for tuition
Social acceptance you can't go without missing
Alright Ms. Albright we go all night
You don't exist, outside of a red corvette
That's in my town
Is so small
We can fit all of the inhabitance
Inside of the bars that we crawl
Annville is on a mission
To make this place a tourist destination
But we are all college kids here
Then we sang to Bowie
And we were loved by everybody
Then we sang McCartney
And then they told us to leave
Go get out of our town

Political Bystander

He didn't lie the entire time last night
That still doesn't make him right
Lets not normalize the situation at hand
Cause a country's not defined by one man
I guess I just don't care
I just don't want to be there
When it all comes down
I rushed home
To watch my country embarrass itself
I rushed home
To watch the comedy my country was
I guess i just don't know
How effective is my vote
I just want to care
I just want it to matter

Deliberate & Unprovoked

I went out last weekend but I got a little too drunk
My girl called 10:30 but I was already fucked up
And I didn't know what to say when she asked me how was your day
I started to question the words I kept messing up
I never thought I would ever get like that
Swimming in my head staring at the ceiling from my back
C:$4.50 is too much, even for america's oldest beer
I'm not paying that
I'm too drunk to be alone and you know that
I don't even want to be with my friends anymore
I didn't know you like Nashville Skyline that much
How could I ever ask for anything more?
C:$4.50 is too much, I'm too drunk to be alone and you know that
I'm not paying that.

Up to My Heartsleeves
02:35

I tripped into you
At the corner pub we were about to go back to school
I of course looked like hell but I swore I wore my maroon sweater
But you always remember better
and I would rip this heart from my chest just to insert it above you breast
But I, don't know where this thing goes
What a poorly placed metaphor
For my love that I know will grow
And I've been dying to meet you
I should've kissed you on the train
Instead of waiting to get back to my place
I couldn't be paid to be more cliché
But I should've kissed you on the train

Reprise (Yes They Do)
02:20

Walk in through the green door to the smell of potpourri
Is this what freedom means?
Ive got my new shoes on cause you complained about my old ones enough by now for me to realize I cant go out with ripped up kicks
We're upper middle class you just can't look like that all the time anymore
Look like what?
I'm just not seeing what you see, BELIEVE YOU ME
cause I'm not trying to be ungrateful, for this house or the food or the roof over my head, or all my shit in the basement, I'm just having a bad trip
Don't know what I did to deserve this I think i smell febreezed illicit's
I dont want life to stop moving, I have an irrational fear of drive by shootings, commitments, and these social constructs are starting to get to me but what the fuck am I even doing, looking at picture of myself, when I thought I was going through hell, and I dont even know me that well, and you wont even know me that well, and you wont and I swear to god I dont
