Skully's 02:35
lyrics
I was sleeping in a hotel room in the west of Massachusetts The lights were off; the TV shot a million miles of a vibrant color scheme The night air smelled of loneliness I loved every single second Of silence I heard before a little smashed… Against my wall I heard the shouts of my childhood memories Tiny voices laughing out I was the background I was sleeping in a homeless room in Columbus, Ohio The conversations circled me I couldn’t get out This one guy Fred, he said to me, he said, “I’ll see you in heaven” You think so Fred? You think I’ll get the chance to see you again? That’s when I went home With tiny voices laughing out I was the background

Open Mic Kid 04:51
lyrics
They say if you got nothing good to say don’t say anything They ask you why you want to play and sing if there is nobody listening To a thing Your saying You’re saying “I need love” Beat down from your daily pose Tired of your tired clothes If there’s a time and place for everything Then I’m stuck on the floor waiting For you to say “Save me, crave me, baby, be my love” I need a little bit of love sometimes from the ones who I didn’t think could care. We need a little bit of love some, love sometimes My feet first on a city bridge I’m just waiting for the water hit Nowhere to push nowhere to succeed And I feel it flowing over me They say if you got nothing to knew to say don’t say anything They ask you why you want to play and sing if there is nobody listening To a thing Your saying Your saying: I need a little bit of love sometimes from the ones who I didn’t think could care. We need a little bit of love some, love sometimes We got to give a little bit of love sometimes to the ones who are going to disappear We got to give a bit of love some, love sometimes

Beach Song 05:15
lyrics
Blonde hair Palm trees Beach sand Sea Breeze Hip dude Tattoo Cute girl No shoes Don't wake me up I'm sleeping Salt air was made for breathing Wave break To trough Cell phone Turned off Skip school No fool Beach song So cool Don't wake me up I'm sleeping Salt air was made for breathing I want to sail away I need to sail away I'm gonna sail away Away sail away The ocean is cold upon my skin And the gulls are up above Circling, diving and laughing Still I know this damn tide will swallow me if I don’t find the will to swim But I’ll survive it, I’ll get by it, I wont die I’ve got my heart and my mind and my limbs So… I want to sail away I need to sail away I'm gonna sail away Away sail away

Brother 04:19
lyrics
Brother will you take me back Take me to the place Where grizzlies roam and lilies grow High above your waist But where were you when I was born? Skipping rocks across the pond? Oh Lover will you take me back Take me as I am For months I’ve crawled between the weeds Just hoping for a chance To get to you with open arms For me your limbs would come uncrossed Young, dumb and swimming free Soaked in skin and ecstasy But where were you when I was born? I want to thank you for the things you taught Me when both my folks were gone I’m sorry for the ones you lost Along the way Brother will you push me back Back into the ring For you I’d die, for you there’s pride In every weary swing But where were you when I was born Skipping rocks across the pond? Oh Lover will you love me down Love me to the grave In you I find a paradise Cursed with hurricanes I think of where you’ll be when I am gone Of the earth or far beyond I want to thank you for the things you taught Me when both my folks were gone I’m sorry for the ones you lost Along the way I don’t care much for anything Still, for you, this song I sing I pray for you most every night When your away

Pissing in Pittsburgh 03:37
lyrics
Piss melts the snow at the blink of an eye And I’m shivering cold and I’m standing outside of my Basement apartment I’m drunk and still wondering Why? And all that you said rings so soft in my head Like “do you care I’m crying, can you tell I’m scared?” And when its all over Will you know Will you feel What love is? But how can I know that you’re meant for me How can I be so sure You’re meant for me All of the days since the summer have changed We don’t make time for movies or make time for dates And playing these songs is only time that I’m in control Pea coat and slacks With the wind to my back Got that windshield defrosting I’m not looking back And when winter dies Spring will bloom And I know I’ll be dreaming of Pittsburgh But how will I know you’re meant for me How can I be so sure Without seeming insecure How can I know that you’re That you’re meant for me

Planet Insane 03:34
lyrics
Photos of you tacked up on the wall Help me remember the timing was wrong Feelings are mysteries They are hard to explain I’m on the turnpike Driving to planet insane You think I’m generic I’m like a rock Super suspicious My morals are fucked I think you’re special Down on your knees Soaked in the moonlight With eyes only focused on me You played with my… You tangled my… You wasted my heart We’re like an echo We break to repeat Hang in the daylight Fall to the street Fucking on instinct Hide from the shame Brace for the impact Pump up my vessels with pain You played with my… You tangled my… You tasted my… You wasted my heart

Wasted and Chasing 04:42
lyrics
Stomp your feet down to floor You’re so good Never forget it Hold your face to ceiling Fight back all that shit They got you feeling They got you wasted on that night that you were wasted Chasing your whole life Face it Look outside man You can’t replace it Embrace it Its your life Chomp your teeth down to the core Bite through so you know they feel it Tend to your tiny garden Keep warm, build your bed, read your bible They got you wasted on that night that you were wasted Chasing your whole life Face it Look outside man You can’t replace it (Your wasting your whole life ) Embrace it Its your life So… Stomp your feet down to floor You’re so good Never forget it

Secret Conversation 04:27
lyrics
A secret conversation will arise And leave with a feeling that you can’t describe What’s keeping you awake all through the night Is a better life Hours pass, you finally close your eyes Drift away to a place in your mind Standing there in shades of black and white You reunite Take me with you If you go We all want something beautiful Fill my heart and I will fill your soul I’ll wait for you… Tremolo and psychedelic light Ricochet across your face in the night Searching for a hand you think will guide You recognize A secret conversation will divide A friend you made and love you gave When you were high All and all you cannot decide If it’s wrong or right Take me with you If you go We all want something beautiful Fill my heart and I will fill your soul I’ll wait for you…
