Yoto HOLY FREAK!!!!! I freaking love this freaking album. I freaking bought it like 3 freaking times, in 3 freaking formats. This freaking band is freaking awesome. I freaking listened to this freaking album so freaking much I freaking turned into a freaking disgusting freak (in a good freaking way). Do yourself a freaking favor and freaking listen to this freaking album a freaking bajillion times. I know what you're thinking after reading this and the answer is no. I don't know how to talk to women. Favorite track: Dude, It's Painfully Obvious.

I said that I don’t know, When you asked if I should go. But maybe if I wasn’t lying I’d try. For a little bit, For the hell of it. But maybe, I’ll meet me. And save me, From this place. ‘Cause these days, I’d rather waste away, in my grave. Waiting for the real me to occupy my brain. Let me listen to you or else I’ll go insane, This is the end. I feel like I’m my own imaginary friend.
2.
I don’t really wanna know what I’m supposed to be. ‘Cause everyone around here is having a better time than me. Everyone is always playing these games, You should leave me in the closet and wait. No point of popping out my head And screaming at the top of my lungs. And I will talk to you. Who are you, and what am I, To tell you what to do? It’s okay, you can make a dumb mistake. It’s cliche, I know you never needed me. Bet you’re just smoking weed, In your bed with Valerie. And you’ll never come after me, 'Cause you don’t need me.
3.
I do not care. But I really care about you and all your friends. It makes me feel at home again. But I need to stay, I'll sleep over another day. Your house smells like weed, just like me. Forgot where you went, oh yeah you're dead. My memory's fucked up, I didn’t know you had enough. Now you are up there, or wherever they go. I wish I came that day, the night you passed away. No way Should've stayed there longer Lately You were screaming at the corner "Save me," But maybe If I stayed there in the summer Angry You were screaming at the corner "Save me," I miss you.
4.
My insecurities are drowning me, I cannot breathe. The night was young, But now we’re older. It passed us by, And waved goodnight. You always hate the way you see my face, I’m drowning on the outside . Just rekt a six pack but you know that, You smell it on my breath. And I can’t see Anything. And I’m so drunk, I lost my cell. Have to go home, And heal myself. And on, and on. You know that, Guess I won’t stop now. And if you think it’ll be right there, It’s my life out there, I can almost taste it. Mine’s a resource that can’t be wasted, It’s time for facing all my fears. Always changing and rearranging, Never gonna shed a tear. But maybe I will see the day, When all my problems fade away. When you will lay down next to me, Quite possibly allow myself to sleep. Maybe this is a bad dream, I should wake the fuck up.

Who am I to judge? When I’m left alone, And there’s no one home. So I’ll smoke myself through lunch, Can’t wait to hear that sound so I can start it all over again. Stay in every day, Maybe I like it this way. Staring at the walls. Smoked weed yesterday, Bet most of you are the same. This is my life thus far. I love what I don’t love, This bud makes us all love. Wake up when the sun’s up, Chungis (inside joke for weed) is my one love. Who am I to judge? When I’m left alone, And there’s no one home. So I’ll smoke myself through lunch, Can’t wait to hear that sound so I can start it all over again. Again? (incoherent screaming) Fuck.
6.
Words or reason Can’t be leaving I thought I would be the reason For you to stay out tonight, Believe me I can’t stand the fight. And I thought that you could stand me, With all of your sudden gestures, But you lead me home, Alone again and in my room. And I thought that I could find you On IG but I couldn’t find you I’ll never see you again, I wish I had a lot more friends. And I can't talk to you, But I’m the only one in the room. And I wish I had the balls To walk up to you and say “hello,”. It doesn’t matter, She won’t like me. How can anyone enjoy me? I’ve gotten so drunk, Vomiting I know it's so messed up. I wish I could enjoy the whiskey, Normally I drink ‘til ya miss me. When I’m on the floor, Hopefully you can pick me up. Where the fuck did my clothes go? How’d I end up in this bed? Who is driving me home? Still I wonder why I’m all alone. And I can talk to you, But I’m way too drunk to. And I should stop complaining, And I should stop this drinking. I don’t think it’s fair to say That every night ended the same, But that’s why I can’t stop. This shot is one more chance I’ve got.
7.
And I never got to tell you, Never got to tell you that I will always rip your clothes when I’m alone, I’ll die. You mean nothing to me, But why can’t you be that guy? He’s so much bigger than me. Too bad, I know you’re mad. ‘Cause I skipped out on lunch today, I never said today. Because of the other day, You’re now a phone call away. The worst part of losing a friend, Is thinking you’ll never speak again. Thinking you can’t get along, Knowing you won’t like this song! Is that so? I’m sorry That I Punched you And made You blue And I Never meant to fuck it up. But you Were the one who blew it up. But now Your time has passed it’s day. But most of all, All your friends have moved away. Lost my friends, But now we have new ones again. Why can’t you Get over yourself, And me too?
8.
But I’d rather Live inside My fantasies Than go outside. I’ll keep moving From one extreme, To another It’s healthy. Do I like this? Why can’t I behave? I don’t like this, Must forego a change. As I’m writing This fucking song, I have sat here God knows how long. But what matters, Is you sing along. But I’d rather get invited to go do something. I know this shit is normal, I know I’m not insightful. Some days I’m in denial. Today I hate the lack of- But I’d rather Live inside My fantasies Than go outside. Stoned on YouTube while in my room. Still in my room, My afternoons. Seems so easy to just leave my room. But I won’t leave soon, My afternoons. I just want to make a change in my life right now, But I don’t think I can keep myself motivated.

(Ryan Hussey - Trumpet) A sinking stone’s going down your throat Again and again. The memories that made you feel at home, They came and went. You don’t care if you’re happy, You don’t care if you’re depressed. You only want the weight of the world Off your fucking chest And I’m with you. And I might as well be alone when I’m with you. With you. I might as well be alone when I’m with you. Maybe you will see the day, When all your problems fade away. When they will lay down next to you, And you will still have no clue what to do. And you’ll try Your best No one seems to get that. Just believe in everything that makes you happy, As long as you respect your body. Just believe.
