Drink About Someone
01:14

I want to write about something else
How about that time
When we drank until the sunrise
Got on our skateboards
And drank in the Atlantic sunrise
Leaving the water
We almost stepped on a stingray
And then you fell off your skateboard
You fucked your hand and elbow up
But the show that night was fine
I want to think about someone else
There was that time
When we drank in that abandoned graveyard
Then we bombed some hills
And lit that fire on the train tracks
We laughed as the train came
On that night I remembered
We would be friends for life
Though we drink until the sunrise
The show is always fine
I want to dream about something else
I want to drink about someone else0

Sleep
02:35

Today I suppress the same thoughts
As two hundred or so others
In perfect synchronization
Will this be the end of it all
We walk on, we sit down
Some take drugs, others sleep
We all had that thought
I know we had the same thought
We had the same thought
I often have this recurring dream
I am running as planes fall from the sky
Planes of all kinds, big or small
Attempt to crash into me
I can hide but they can see
I guess it doesn't feel like kamikaze
I don't remember one ever actually killing me
But it's horrific
It's horrific
I'll awake in a cold sweat
I'll awake in a cold sweat
I'll get sick again
Everything spins around
And I will sleep again
Keep puking
Keep sleeping
Keep puking
Keep sleeping
Keep sleeping
Keep sleeping

Alone

Enough with the fuck yous for now
Aside from her I am a happy person
I share this shit because
My life is great your's could be too
A friend told me she was amazed
How I'm laid back and driven all at the same time
I guess it just comes naturally
I used to love to sleep
Now I'll stay up and drink and
Write dumb songs and be alone
It's good to be alone
So pick up a guitar and sing a song
Just play the one that means the most to you right now
Fuck everyone else just sing for you
And you may learn it's good to be alone
I'm starting to forget a life and learn
Something new forget the constant reminders
And learn someone new
So pick up a guitar and sing a song
Just play the one that means the most to you right now
Fuck everyone else

Drunken Smiles
02:07
|

It's just me and a guitar
A tape recorder and some words
I'll play some chords to fit the mood
And think of you so nothing hurts
Someone has already done this
But that's alright with me
It's just some stupid words
And some chords and melody
Do you remember when everyone
Was here last week?
Drunken smiles on faces
Most everyone was smoking weed
Sometimes I think about
Just how good it could be
With all my friends in one place
Especially you and me
The song needs a second verse
And I don't wanna repeat the first
The chords still play on
I think of you and it just gets worse
I miss you and you miss me too
But that's not enough for me
Cause all I have are these
Stupid words these fucking chords and melody

Orion's rising in the sky and
I can sense that it's that time of year
I'll get to drink with all of my friends
In that desert we call home
We'll burn and drink a million warm-flat beers
But I'll be dreaming of the road
To everyone it's so important
The meaning's not the same
But we're all striving for it
This time I don't
To everyone it's so important
The meaning's not the same
But we all struggle for it
This time I don't
This year it's all so odd to me
It feels so routine
That's not how it's supposed to be
On this I feel that I'm alone
I'd rather be out on the road
Drop everything race towards that burning goal
To everyone it's so important
The meaning's not the same
But we're all striving for it
This time I don't
To everyone it's so important
The meaning's not the same
But we all struggle for it
This time I don't wanna go
But I know when we get there
It'll feel like home
It feels like home

A year ago the pain came from my brain
It still hurts every once in awhile
Thirty years of punishment
Thirty years malnourishment
And now my body is fighting back
I hope my brain isn't just distracting me from itself
I'll awake from the pain in my back
It's the same ill-filling morning as before
Physical more than emotional it attacks the same
Fuck yeah it still hurts
I hope my brain isn't just distracting me from itself
I am at war with my brain
And I think that it's winning
Killing my body with ease
It dies with every drink
I'll get sick again
It all spins around
I'll fall asleep again
And dream everything is fine
Strive for improvement
Try not to let it win
Keep puking keep sleeping
I hope my brain isn't just distracting me from itself
I am at war with my brain
And I think that it's winning
Killing my body with ease
It dies with every drink

Training Season
02:24
|

I yearn for that first sunny spring day
The one when you buy a case of cold beer
Call some friends drink with no shirt
In the front yard no concern to do your work
The ice starts to melt and the sun is out
The beers stay cold but the heat it feels so good
The winter is so long and all I want is out
The summer's coming back but it takes so damn long
It's cold but the first snow hasn't fallen
Things are bad but it's likely they'll get worse
The sun's out but the winter's blowing in
The drinks drown my feelings like rehearsed
The leaves changed and the fun has come and gone
It's hard to think of anything but this
It starts to sound like every other song
Winter depression's coming early for me this year
It's the first snowfall of the drinking season

Embrace Impermanence

My friends care if I die
And that's the best thing I could ask for
Among all the shitty people I've found a lot
Who I can trust to be there in the shittiest (fucked up) time of life
So it's to you that I drink to tonight
The ones who are there 'til we die
Now's the time to say it
Thanks and I'll love you 'til I die
When everything falls apart
Cliches all become true
But that's what they offer you until a friend speaks brilliance
And you start (you fucking will) to pull through
I'll pour this second one for you tonight
My friends who always speak the truth
And now's the time to say it
Thanks and I'll love you 'til I die
I'll drink this last round for you tonight
My friends who are there 'til we die
Now's the time to say it
Thanks I'll love you 'til I die

This Song
01:29
|

I should go write that paper
But instead I'll write this song
I have to study for that final
But I sit and play guitar
My sleep is all fucked up
It's freezing in this fucking town
My friends are likely drunk
That's the easy way to think you're warm
Alone in this tiny town
And I still keep fucking up
Mostly alone in this tiny town
And I still keep drinking up
It's five AM and I'm still up
Sleeping is my best friend
With the worst intentions
Distractions keep me sane
Texting drinking writing nothing
Drinking numbs the brain
Don't want to do the shit they want me to
I know I miss my friends
Pictures just don't do them justice
Writing useless words again
But I guess they fucking get me through

I'm The DD Today
01:12
|

I've got some shit to do
But why do it today?
I've finally got a bed
And sleep and music and a beer
So I'll drink today away
I'll hardly leave the bed
I'll make some plans that don't pan out
Day drink today
You can come over if you want
But I won't put on a shirt
We'll put a couch in the front yard
And drink until we puke
So we'll drink today away
In the sun in the front yard
And we'll fall asleep before it's dark
Day drink today
I'm day drinking today
Whiskey beer day drink

This Merch Is A Pipebomb
01:20

I lost my backpack in El Paso
It contained one important thing
We lost some gear in New Orleans
And we also lost our weed
We drank and smoked on a porch in Nashville
Drank fighting cock with Chris
Only one thing that sucked
Was coming home to out find that
This merch is a pipebomb
Fueled by beer in Austin, Texas
Dave rode the tall bike down the stairs
We played a full basement in Flagstaff
There's fucking awesome people there
In Vegas TBR showed up
We filled that room up with smoke
The Buick made it back to Reno
And I don't think that we went broke
This merch is a pipebomb
Punish your Buick
Someone stole our merch at the returning show
We lost money to guarantee
Why come home?
Someone found our suitcase in the parking lot
With all our shirts, posters, patches and a note that read
This merch is a pipebomb

Something About Nothing
03:15
|

On the brink of something
This is about nothing
It's not about you or her
I write this because I don't have it
What it takes to say
What I want to tell them
Not fully sure what that is
Just vague ideas floating around in my brain
I can't formulate them
Mind can't encapsulate them
Can't think of what to say
Forever I'll write about nothing
My thoughts stay on the same thing
Sadness for when y ou leave me
Repition about nothing
Gotta write this about something
There's still a lot more room
To address concern for you
Those words that I can't write
Instead I'll write this pointless rhyme tonight
Never gonna say it
Won't have the chance to play it
For you tonight 'cause you are right
Convictions I can't summarize in song
And when you talk to me
We speak of brilliant things
They evade me somehow
Before I get a chance to put them down
And if they come right back to me
Thoughts constantly escaping me
I'm missing clarity
Lacking pride to say what I want to

Living alone with no TV or internet
Can make you realize how unproductive
Your life can really be
Sometimes the songs just pour out of you
There's so much that you want to say
To the person that you can't
And I don't have the courage for that
Maybe I'll find it somewhere
I'll keep adding letters
To the words that aren't there
Everything sounds the same
It's all the same
I've heard that before
It's all been done
