I wake up on the weekend, smack the shit out of my face On such a mournful morning, in the good ‘ol Garden State I get a hot shower going, for my mental health And start a series of activities so I don’t kill myself One brush, two hands, Crack a smile, for the mirror man I’m looking so fucking good today Check the radar, I’m seeing hail Takes the wind right outta my sails Man, why is it so god damn dark When it’s half past 4 o’clock I’ve had enough I like fall and I like spring But fuck that bullshit in between It really drives me mad (It drives me mad) Outside it’s a hell of ice Inside I fire up my vices This season’s killing me slowly And my brain just melts, melts, melts, all day And the pain won’t melt, melt, melt, away Maybe I should get in shape just to pass the time, before I crack a bottle, maybe I should play the lotto Sun, Mr. Golden Sun, please shine down on me, I’m so deficient, on happiness and Vitamin D I’m fucking fed up

Is it safe yet, to tell you, that I love you Or would you prefer, I drop, some hints I can stare in your eyes too long, And I can write you this stupid song But I know, it’ll end, up like shit Is is safe yet, to tell you, that I need you Though I’d prefer, you tell, me first Say you can’t live without me And I’d smile and I’d agree God damnit, these feelings, are the worst There’s a battle in my brain, and it’s driving me insane Do I let you, let you know what, what I’m thinking? It would tear my heart in two, If you didn’t feel like I do Ah fuck it, I’ll just go back, back to drinking Is it safe yet, to tell you, that I’m messed up That I’m fucked up, by the way, you touch And the way that you make me feel it’s unrealer than fuckin unreal, But if I say that, out loud, is it too much? Is it safe yet, to tell you, that I love you And that your silence is a bunch of shit You could open your mouth and speak, Or just sit there and watch me bleed Ah fuck this, fuck this nonsense, I’ll just say it

Easy 03:29
I love you with the part of my heart that loves instant gratification And I’m nervous something’s missing from this, but I really like the fornication Let’s just see where this goes, Don’t take it fast or too slow But going fast’s all I know Cuz I’m needy - like fucking hell And my friends let me get away with lying about how I’ve felt And it’s easy - to treat you well, Cuz you’re different and you’re special though I’m not sure I can tell, Anymore I need you like a dog needs a bone, but does is matter where the femur came from? And I want to believe this feeling’s for you, but I’m so broken man I feel like it’s made up I’ll gladly pilot a crashing plane Or cut my nose off to spite my fucking face Ah Jesus, can I get a minute to think? I tell you something, that makes you smile I smile back, but man I might be in denial I say the right shit to you, cuz I’m full of it I can say the right shit, Cuz I’m so full of it I’m so full of, I’m so full of shit

Rosemary 03:58
Rosemary Rosemary, you don’t have to go I swear I’ll pay more attention, than I ever did before Don’t leave me baby I’m pleadin Ya breaking this heart of mine I won’t be able to replace you, no matter the thyme I never thought, thought it would come to this Swear I can still feel your mouth pressed, against my lips A picture so clearly, burned in head Oh, your dark green eyes stare back at me, through the pattern in my bed If you were in front of me tonight, I’d tell you all the things to make it right But now I’m drownin my sorrows, while I drown in shame In every empty bottle I see your name I wanted you to tell me, tell me what went wrong But my tired mind missed all all the signals, all along I feel like I’m floating, in a terrible dream I can see you leavin over and over, behind a screen And in my mind you watch me cry, One foot out the door, and your face so dry Think I could fix this, if you’d hear me out But my second chances are all gone now My tongue’s on fire, with the taste of your kiss And I can’t think of a single god damn think that I wouldn’t fuckin miss Come back to me, come back to me Come back, turn around I needed ya then and I still need ya now

Tire Swing 03:34
Oh woah uh ohh, o-aoh woah oh My tank is dry, but my foot’s still on the throttle Oh woah uh ohh, o-aoh woah oh Yeah life’s a bitch, and time is such an asshole Remember being young, when nothing mattered My biggest source of pain, was too much laughter I felt in my side, I felt it in my chest But now my body hurts, from booze and cigarettes Oh woah oh, take me back Oh woah oh, take me back Back to the tire swing, back to the VCR You better believe I’d give all money To go back down the slide next to the holly It’s hell getting old, that’s what my father said But I never noticed, until I fuckin did First thing I kissed a girl, and then I got a job Thought I was having fun, but I think that I forgot, how Oh woah oh, take me back Oh woah oh, take me back Back to 1/2 hour drives, that felt so god damned far Back to the checkered seats, of my mom’s former car Yeah time’s an asshole Lately I’ve been spread so thin Responsibilities, keep my brain turnin It wasn’t long ago, when I couldn’t even drive Now I’m riding twice day, to keep myself alive I used stay outside, until I heard my name But now I’m trapped indoors, and tired all the same Please God tell me there’s some meanin Cuz I can’t help myself from this helpless feelin Yeah time’s an asshole Yeah time’s an asshole

Lies! 04:14
I got loans in different area codes And every month I send my paycheck to DC and ‘Cisco But I don’t mind, I still got my dime I’m spending all my money just to past the time I’m really angry, man I’m really pissed Who in the hell signed me up for this? I wanna find em, punch em in the face I rottin’ from inside every week day But I, try a little yeah that much I do 3 outta 5 on my performance review I see the sadness, in my boss’s eyes 25 years on a whole bill of lies They sold us the same shit, when they said, Do something for the money, And happiness will come in between, Five pm and bed But I’m working sixty hours, I still haven’t ate or showered Oh well, at least I got this debt Weekend’s coming, do you have any plans? You gonna go hang out with your friends? Same fucking question, oh every time We should grab a drink and try to unwind But It’s 7 dollars for a fucking beer Some shitty tunes and shitty atmosphere But I’m still here, burning through cash Wondering how long this charade will last They sold us so much shit, when they said Do something for the money, And happiness will come in between, Five pm and bed But I’m working sixty hours, I still haven’t ate or showered Oh well, at least I got this debt I’m in the gym I’m trying not to die But I can’t do enough deadlifts To change my fuckin life I’ll be a, indentured servant for my crime Of borrowing a 100 K for an O-K time Now where the hell does all my money fucking go Now where the hell does all my money fucking go Now where the hell does all my mother fuckin money go Yeah I’m working sixty hours And I’m really fucking sour And I’m working sixty hours I still haven’t ate or showered But oh well, at least I got this debt

I fell asleep on the hotel couch After my first day in Kentucky It started with a “hey we should all go out” Ended in Dominos Delivery And we were screaming so loud at the bar Holding court like we owned it But I took it just a little too far When security got phoned in So they say, cuz I can’t recall Well I guess I blacked out 13 hours down to Tennessee To see my roommate get married At the time he was just 23 And that shit still fucking scares me We drank some whiskey and we drank some gin In the flat bed of a pick up Then took the family golf cart for a spin Down the highway out to iHop So they say, cuz I can’t recall Well I guess I blacked out Do you want another round I say we throw one down Throw another one in after Do you wanna go home Do I wanna? Fuck no I’m an artist of disaster Let me paint some shit And at the end of the night, it just doesn’t feel right, if I’m still feeling Throw my memories out the door, I don’t want ‘em anymore, but I’ll take a shot for sleeping

My girl, she likes always sunny And we watch it when we’re hanging out Sometimes I watch it by myself But it’s much better yeah when she’s around My girl, she likes to go to concerts, When her favorite bands are in town, Sometimes she comes home late and tired But she’s always up for getting down Sometimes my mind runs in circles, Like a fucking 45 But time slows down, whenever she’s around God damn, we’re sure enjoying the ride My girl, she needs to have her coffee, And she drinks it every day she breathes, She knows I’m not the biggest fan, And so she makes me Chinese ginger tea My girl, she likes always sunny But the, McPoyles freak her out Sometimes she watches by herself But she says it’s better when I’m around
10.
I don’t mean to sound depressing, but I think we’re really fucked There’s 7 billion people, and us monkeys are out of luck But everything is ok, Yeah, I’m doing fine I have one, two, three, four, five, six, drinks And it’s off my mind I’m really doing OK Most of the time As long as I don’t think about it Bliss is blind Woah oh ohhhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhhh Bliss is blind Woah oh ohhhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhhh Bliss is blind I don’t mean to be an asshole, But I think we’re fucking fucked The rich are getting richer, And the middle ain’t makin enough, And I can’t help but notice, Nobody seems to care, We’re payin’ out the ass for the privilege, To pay for our healthcare I’m wondrin if there’s anybody out there Who thinks this whole thing’s as fucked as me When I try to turn my mind off for a minute I’m overwhelmed by all the terrible shit I see, And think, let me have another drink Something stronger than before, make it easy to ignore All the shit, and the piss, let’s call it what it is, And then forget, let’s pretend, oh That it’s all good, all good now Close my eyes and shut my lips, I’ll keep shaking my damn hips Yeah it’s all good, all good now, Turn the world off from my ears I’ll keep pounding cheap ass beers I’ll take it one day at a time And ignore what’s on my mind Well I’m just fine livin in doubt While everyone keeps freakin out
11.
My ass is comfortable, my eyes are glued to the screen My time is passing by, between using little machines Well whatcha gonna do for the rest of your life? Whatcha gonna do for the rest of your - Oh you’re still living there, when are you gonna move out? I’m always looking man, but it’s 6 o'clock and I just sat down So gimme a break Whatcha gonna do for the rest of your life? Whatcha gonna do for the rest of your life? Well, I don’t know, Yeah I don’t know, I don’t know where I’m going But I do know well, that I cannot tell if this all is worth something I don’t mean to, to be a bummer But we’re still where we were, last summer Try to make a change, write a different story But my fear and indecision keep me stuck in purgatory My fear and indecision keep me stuck in purgatory My fear and indecision keep me stuck, stuck, stuck I don’t know, Yeah I don’t know, I don’t know where I’m going But I do know well, that I cannot tell What this all is worth, well

I feel so blue Without you girl I need your love That‘s why I‘m down When You‘re not around now I need your love I want you to stay Don‘t go away now I need your love Late at night When shit ain‘t right girl I need your love Though I tried I can‘t deny You know why, yeah Baby I need your love Can‘t get enough Of your good stuff now I need your love Don‘t be late Girl, I can‘t wait now I need your love I played a fool Just to be cool now I need your love Without getting high Girl, I can fly now I need your love There comes a time in every man‘s life When he’s got to have his woman‘s love Y'all don‘t hear me? Y'all don‘t hear me? Yeah, gimme that riff now When I‘m by my break All I can take now I need your love You make me feel Oh so real girl I need your love After the song Girl come on now I need your love I play it again Until the end now I need your love

about

This album started with a couple demos recorded with the onboard mic of an iPhone and some texts between friends.

These songs are for people who don't have their shit figured out, and who get angry about it from time to time.
OR, for people who do have their shit figured out and like punk rock anyway. We really hope you enjoy these tunes as much as we enjoyed making them.

Cheers!
