Monotony 03:12
lyrics
I wish I could give a fuck But I'm just shit out of luck tonight I, I wish I wasn't this sad and that I wasn't so mad Mad at this Anymore I, I wish I could sleep Without blowing through All my weed Keeping my feet on the ground Can't let this bring me down I can't give up now And we're doing the same Shit we do every day Tryin' to get away From this state But this Monotony won't get the best The best of me Keeping my feet on the ground Can't let this bring me down I can't give up now And I don't wanna waste another day Living with this sense of dread and regret About how things could've been Or what might've happened if I stuck around So I packed my car and left I got out of this hopeless town Stuck below sea level Baby, I don't want us to drown

Ron Swansong 02:40
lyrics
Don't make a sound Don't waste your energy You'll wake me up Inside your fantasy Don't bring me down Need positivity And it's gone when you're around You say, you say, you say you're good But you're just lying like you should 'Cause if anyone knew the truth, they'd run away I guess that's all I have to say And I think It's impossible To be real With you by my side 'Cause every action that I take Won't be enough to satiate your Undying desire to be a fucking asshole And when I walk away, you won't be saved And the time I've lost, I can't explain To the sorry eyes that you use to look down on me I guess I'm gonna have to leave And I think It's impossible To be real With you by my side 'Cause every action that I take Won't be enough to satiate your Undying desire to be a fucking asshole I already knew that you were leaving So keep on walking, you've done your deceiving And I don't wanna hold on to this hate So I guess that I'll just have to wait

Baby, how you doin'? I know it's been a long day Go ahead and light that smoke Everything's gonna be okay Yeah, you're always tired and you're always feeling grey But I think that you'll be fine just as long as you stay Put out the joint and then crawl into my bed Right next to me has always felt much better than inside my head Missed you so much Baby, that's what I said Because without you, I might as well be dead Just stay the night I sleep much better when you're home Just don't dream the same dreams when I'm all alone How can I say just what you mean to me without sounding weird? A life without you is the only thing I've ever feared I wanna wake up to your face every morning Even if you're still there, just passed out and snoring Nothing makes those rainy days feel any brighter Than you rolling over and holding onto me much tighter Baby, how you doin'? I know it's been a long day I'm just gonna light this smoke 'Cause everything's gonna be okay Yeah, I'm always tired and I'm always feeling grey But I think that I'll be fine just as long as you stay

Corolla 02:21
lyrics
Ooh-ooh-ooh My blue '03 Corolla Your seats have supported everyone I've ever loved 'One I've ever loved And hey, hey, hey, my pretty little baby I love you so I never ever wanna let you go Wanna let you go I'm driving in my car But I won't get very far If there's no gas in my tank And no cash in the bank Ooh-ooh-ooh My blue '03 Corolla Your seats have supported everyone I've ever loved 'One I've ever loved And hey, hey, hey, my pretty little baby I love you so I never ever wanna let you go Ever wanna let you go Yeah, you're breaking apart But, honey, you've still got heart Just know that when things fall through Corolla, I have always loved you Corolla Corolla Corolla, Corolla I'll always love you

Scars/Pieces of Me 02:38
lyrics
I've got burns and Scars on my hands and arms From pulling pizzas out the oven But that won't stop me from loving you I've got burns and Scars on these hands and arms From pulling pizzas out the oven But that won't stop me from loving you From loving you From loving you That won't stop me from loving you From loving you From loving you Well, that won't stop me from loving you I've got burns and Scars on these hands and arms From pulling pizzas out the oven But that won't stop me from loving you ---------- I've got a real thin crust and I can be a little cheesy They say when it's love, it's supposed to be easy But with you, it's not I tried to bite into you, but you were too hot And I got burned I guess I'll never learn And I know they say you are what you eat But that doesn't mean that you can keep on taking Pieces of Me Pieces of Me Said I know they say you are what you eat But that doesn't mean that you can keep on taking Pieces of Me

Rich Octopus 01:23
lyrics
In all of the land and all of the sea There is no other cephalopod wealthy as me In my castle, I throw many lavish parties With fifty-foot fountains, flowing with cheese To raise money for various sea charities To which I've donated quite generously In my garden, I lounge in the cool ocean breeze And light up a doobie whenever I please Oh, I'm the Rich Octopus I'm the Rich Octopus Oh, I'm the Rich Octopus

High 03:49
lyrics
I'm so fucking High You can see it if you look in my eyes But I'm not quite as stoned As I want to be So light a blunt with me I never thought that I'd be this lit I guess I just don't know when to quit My dealer told me to have a sit But I think I'll just have another hit I'm so fucking High You can see it if you look in my eyes But I'm not quite as stoned As I want to be So roll a joint with me I'm so lost inside of my head I can't tell if I'm alive or dead Not sure if you're serious or joking Fuck it Let's just keep on toking And I only smoke dank 'Cause all that other shit is stank And I think it'd be legit If we all just took a hit I am so High I am so... I'm so fucking High I am so High I'm... I'm so fucking High I'm so fucking High You can see it if you look in my eyes But I'm not quite as stoned As I want to be So smoke a bowl with me DANK!

Into Space 04:10
lyrics
In the backseat of your car With the windows down Saw you one last time Before you left this town Told me that you were sorry That you couldn't stay Now I'm just trying to understand 'Cause nothing's been the same since you've gone away I'll smoke myself to sleep I'll try not to dream of your face I'll try to forget everything As our memories drift slowly into space On the long drive back home Grip the steering wheel Turn the radio up loud I try to sing along but it doesn't feel real Tell myself I'll make it through But I can't stop seeing your face in the rearview I'll smoke myself to sleep I'll try not to dream of your face I'll try to forget everything As our memories drift slowly into space 'Cause you haunt me In my dreams I can't forget anything You're just like a ghost You're barely there But somehow you're everywhere

Crashing Down 02:59
lyrics
Hey, you, don't you think it's fucking crazy How we do this shit so nonchalantly And when I think of all the times you've let me down Whoa It makes me so sick to my stomach I'm pretty sure this is the end 'Cause you make me feel like my head's going to explode Whoa Just leave 'Cause I don't really need you Get out 'Cause I don't wanna see you I'm done Giving you chances that you'll only waste You don't Deserve my attention You don't Deserve my affection This is what you get when love falls out of place No more acting like a saint because you're not Whoa You're just the greatest fucking lie I've ever told Whoa Just leave 'Cause I don't really need you Get out 'Cause I don't wanna see you I'm done Giving you chances that you'll only waste You don't Deserve my attention You don't Deserve my affection This is what you get when love falls out of place So tell me why You were the only thing on my mind When it all came Crashing Down

Saul Gucci 02:32
lyrics
Friday night, clocking out late Making my way over to your place Swisher Sweets and an eighth of dank weed We broke the bong I guess it wasn't, wasn't meant to be But still, we're getting loud in your room Writing songs about our lives Even though those memories can cut like knives But this is where I want to be Drinking High Lifes at a house party With the people that I never see Reminiscing on better days And I still think that it's so strange we parted ways But still, we're getting loud in your room Writing songs about our lives Even though those memories can cut like knives But this is where I want to be And you're right Everything you told me About how things change But I wish that they'd stay the same

Anesthesia 02:20
lyrics
Anesthesia Clouding up my brain I can't feel As things rearrange When I wake up It won't be the same I just know that You'll still be in my veins You left me black and blue I'm not over you No matter how damn far I wanna be where you are Take me back To the way things were Try to recall, but it's all a blur Is this amnesia or denial of All of the times that I screwed up? Yeah, I'm sorry I'm so fucking sorry And yeah, I'm black and blue Still not over you No matter how damn far I wanna be where you are I'm coming down I feel the pain set in my bones Anesthesia I don't know what I'll do without you Without you

Heaven Knows 04:06
lyrics
My room's a wreck, but so am I Empty water bottles stacked up high I've been fucked up for too damn long Never learning right from wrong And I know it won't feel like this forever These storm clouds will part and bring us both to better weather Somewhere past all these empty city streets There's a place for you and me I put our love in a box Buried it deep beneath the soil and rocks So don't dig it up There's nothing to see 'Cause Heaven Knows Heaven Knows you ain't coming back for me We're moving on and finding our own ways To cope with this and make it through the haze Somewhere past all these empty city streets I know that there's a place for you and me I put our love in a box Buried it deep beneath the soil and rocks So don't dig it up There's nothing to see 'Cause Heaven Knows Heaven Knows you ain't coming back for me (I put our love in a box... ...fuck.) I put our love in a box Buried it deep beneath the soil and rocks So don't dig it up There's nothing to see 'Cause Heaven Knows Heaven Knows you ain't coming back for me Heaven Knows you ain't coming back for me

Diversion 03:34
lyrics
I think it's time that I start giving a fuck Figure my life out and stop pushing my dumb luck I wanna know how it feels to be content And not wonder where the hell all of my time went 'Cause we get lost but we come back Find out what we missed, pick up the slack We won't stay down, no, not for long We're getting up And we'll finish strong And I think that this is All I've ever wanted Just to find some sense of purpose And I think what we've built out of nothing is totally extraordinary So no one told you that there'd be days like this Where all you wanna do is hide in your room and quit But each day is just another shot So get out there and give it all you've got Cause we get lost but we come back Find out what we missed, pick up the slack You're not alone when you've got friends We'll get through it 'Cause this isn't the end And I think that this is All I've ever wanted Just to find some sense of purpose And I think what we've built out of nothing is totally extraordinary Don't give in Don't give up Don't give in Don't give up Don't give in Don't No, don't ever give up on me 'Cause I'll never give up on you No.
