Fucking Typical

It’s fuckin typical
Hide in the bathroom stall
Drink too much coffee then
Beer to come back down again
Just keep busy and inbetween
Shove my face into the screen
Teams of designers on these social apps
Our brains don’t stand a chance
Drive. Work. Drink. Scroll. Worry. Jerk. Sleep.
Drive. Work. Drink. Scroll. Worry. Jerk. Sleep.
Drive. Work. Drink. Scroll. Worry. Jerk. Sleep.
Drive. Work. Drink. Scroll. Worry. Jerk. Sleep.
It's fuckin magical
Right when I make the call
To cancel my night's plans
And put on comfy pants
Not that I don't want to go
Been looking forward to the show
But anxiety is sinking in
Exhausted and overthinking everything
Drive. Work. Drink. Scroll. Worry. Jerk. Sleep.
Drive. Work. Drink. Scroll. Worry. Jerk. Sleep.
Drive. Work. Drink. Scroll. Worry. Jerk. Sleep.
Drive. Work. Drink. Scroll. Worry. Jerk. Sleep.
I'm running out of steam
These hours packed, I'm stressin
What happened to my old dreams?
They used to be my mission
Now I've made myself sick
Saying yes; over-committing
I'll clear out all of it
But then restart the pattern
I'm running out of steam
These hours packed, I'm stressin
What happened to my old dreams?
They used to be my mission
Drive. Work. Drink. Scroll. Worry. Jerk. Sleep.
Drive. Work. Drink. Scroll. Worry. Jerk. Sleep.
I'm running out of steam
These hours packed, I'm stressin
(Drive. Work. Drink. Scroll. Worry. Jerk. Sleep.)
Drive. Work. Drink. Scroll. Worry. Jerk. Sleep.
(What happened to my old dreams?
They used to be my mission)
Drive. Work. Drink. Scroll. Worry. Jerk. Sleep.
(I’m running out of steam)
Drive
Work
Drink
Scroll
Worry
Jerk

Why Should They
02:40
|

Hey! Tell ‘em off, tell ‘em off
I don’t think that they heard you
Hey! Tell ‘em off, tell ‘em off
I don’t think that they heard you
So I close my eyes
But my insides aren’t an improvement
I’m mad at friends of mine
Who don’t share my current opinions
Well!
Why should they? Why should they listen to a word I am saying?
Why should they? Why should they listen to a word I am saying?
Whoa-oh oh oh oh
I’m readin the signs
Pointed somewhere I hate to be headed
The chatter of my mind
I’d take anything to sedate it
Why should I? Why should I listen to a word I am saying?
Why should I? Why should I?
Hey! Tell ‘em off, tell ‘em off
I don’t think that they heard you
Hey! Tell ‘em off, tell ‘em off
We’re runnin out of breath, beatin this to death
Why should they? Why should they listen to a word we say?
Whoa-oh oh oh oh
Why should they? Why?
Why should they? Why should they?
Why? Why should they?

Too Tough
04:06
|

I’m bein too tough on myself and won’t let up, gotta cool out
But I’m not doing enough of all this stupid stuff that I care about
I’m judgin too hard, learn to love things as they are and accept them
But I’ve got this dumb voice and this face ain’t my first choice and I resent them
Yes, I’m being too tough tryin to learn to open up and share my troubles (share my troubles)
But don’t do it too much cuz no one wants to watch someone who struggles
Trying to chip away, make some progress everyday towards my future (towards my future)
But I don’t want to do the work, just wanna sit here like a jerk and be a rockstar
I’ll be as quiet as a mouse
When you are over at my house
My roommates will never figure it out
That you wanna be so close to me
What does it mean and can this please keep happenin?
I’m taking a breath, meditate to clear my head and be mindful (and be mindful)
But why am I on this app believing all this hippie crap? Hmmm mmm mmm mmm
I’m being too hard, let’s take ourselves just as we are and show forgiveness
Cuz I’m responsible for this life and someones gotta answer for these crimes and be punished
So I’m being punished
I’ll be as quiet as a mouse
When you are over at my house
My roommates will never figure it out
That you wanna be so close to me
And you’ll whisper “I love you as you are”
In the dark I’ll smile and kiss you hard
And try not to feel alarmed:
You love the part of me I don’t let people see
What does it mean and can this please keep happening?

Shrug
03:17
|

Shrug it off and think about it in the morning
You know you’ve got to keep up appearances an post somethin
You know you don’t want anyone thinking you’re no one
Don’t want anyone catching on, so
Hit the gym ignorin all the warnings
Shrug off all of this
Pour a stiff drink and forget about it
Shrug off all of this
Pour a stiff drink
Catch a cold but don’t show anybody you feel it
You know you’ve got something to prove no matter who’s infected
You know you don’t want anyone thinking you’re no one
Don’t want anyone catching on, so
Take a DayQuil, you can’t afford the doctors visit
Shrug off all of this
Pour a stiff drink and forget about it
Shrug off all of this
Pour a stiff drink
Shrug off all of this
Pour a stiff drink and forget about it
Shrug off all of this
Pour a stiff drink
Where’s the future I was hopin for
You asked if you could come over again
Do I have to remind you what the doctors said to me now?
I know you’d rather be dead than bored
So just forget about it
Shrug off all of this
Pour a stiff drink and forget about it
Shrug off all of this
Pour a stiff drink
Shrug off all of this
Pour a stiff drink and forget about it
Shrug off all of this
Pour a stiff drink
Shrug off all of this
Pour a stiff drink
And forget about it

Fresh New Things

Life is a train Steven
Passin through the station
Where you stepped off Steven
I stand helpless as I’m seein
You fade away
Into the distance as we keep persistin
With lifes day to day
It all seems so cruel but there’s nothin to do
The night slipped away from us Steven
I know that soon you’ll be leavin
Glad I caught that last smile creepin
Hearin Debbie and the kids playin
Before you fade away
Into the distance as we keep persistin
With lifes day to day
It’s all been so sudden but there’s no pause button
It just keeps pressing on
There is nothing that can be done
And it doesn’t seem fair
But the universe doesn’t care
Still it feels stupid and wrong
That I’m still writing songs
That I’m still goin to work
That I’m tryin to do good
After you fade away
Into the distance as we keep persistin
With lifes day to day
Had me spoilt rotten
When I could call you up and say
“Hey.”
“We’re all doin okay.”
Life is a train Steven
Passin through the station
Love you always Steven
Fresh new things are waitin
