ADHD 02:42
Am I the only one? Can't sit still for too long Small fry, bug-eyed Is anyone in here alive? Got sent to therapy When I was just fourteen Distracted, short-tempered Handed a pack of downers When I go to sleep I grind my teeth Can't stop my feet, anxiety Pace back and forth, try to ignore Just like I did the night before Am I an alien? Who's failing to blend in Loud-mouthed, annoying The other kids avoiding A loner malcontent Trying to not be different Got a mouthful of Adderall Diagnosis suicidal When I go to sleep I grind my teeth Can't stop my feet, anxiety Pace back and forth, try to ignore Just like I did the night before When I go to sleep, I grind my teeth Can't stop my feet, anxiety Pace back and forth, try to ignore Just like I did the night before When I go to sleep I grind my teeth (Just like we all were) When I go to sleep I grind my teeth (Medicated, least that's what they said)

This is an intervention With only the best intentions So don't ditch the lecture to chase after her She'll make an ass out of you again You know she's got a boyfriend Getting annoyed and this is your warning So get out with some pride She's a waste of time you'll never get inside So stop pretending, no more whining She knows exactly what she's doing So quit complaining and cut the crap You know you're not the first and won't be the last Don't waste your time and breath, all she takes from you While you buy her drinks and hold her shoes She's not coming around to your sorry ass You know you're not the first and won't be the So, tell me Every time she turns you down What makes you come back around? Does it even hurt? All you do for her? She bails when Moustache finishes work It's so fucking pathetic, do you even regret it? Alone on Friday night eating leftover Spaghetti Without you on her mind, she has the best fucking time You are just her little something on the side So stop pretending, no more whining She knows exactly what she's doing So quit complaining and cut the crap You know you're not the first and won't be the last Don't waste your time and breath, all she takes from you While you buy her drinks and hold her shoes She's not coming around to your sorry ass You know you're not the first and won't be the Don't get defensive, get defensive like you always do I've said a thousand times we're only looking out for you I know you say she's the only girl on your mind But we're telling you she's just a fucking parasite Don't get defensive, get defensive like you always do I've said a thousand times we're only looking out for you I know you say she's the only girl on your mind Well you're just, well you're just, well you're just, well you're just Her little something on the side So stop pretending, no more whining She knows exactly what she's doing So quit complaining and cut the crap You know you're not the first and won't be the last Don't waste your time and breath, all she takes from you While you buy her drinks and hold her shoes She's not coming around to your sorry ass You know you're not the first and won't be the

Holly 02:29
I confide eyes are rolling Keep that gaslight shining Just call me when you get home She said look who you became Over one little mistake She said people grow and people change A leap of faith I can't escape I'm on, I'm on, I'm on, I'm on the way home Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing but dial tone You there? You there? You there? You there? I'm here now Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up I freak out Holly Holly look what you've done to me I can't see, I can't breathe Please cut deep my envy I'm pleading for your mercy, God In the coat room hiding Are those white lies smiling? You thought we were on a break Said "You are so insecure forget it" "It was just casual" Yeah I get it I guess we'll agree to disagree Patch it up with make-believe I'm on, I'm on, I'm on, I'm on the way home Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing but dial tone You there? You there? You there? You there? I've had it Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up I panic Holly Holly look what you've done to me I can't see, I can't breathe Please cut deep my envy I'm pleading for your mercy Holly Holly Holly Holly Holly Holly Holly Holly Lord spare us these night terrors, I'm only a human error Lord spare us these night terrors, I'm only a human error Lord spare us these night terrors, I'm only a human error Lord spare us these night terrors, I'm only a human error

Please don't talk with your mouth full Who's turn for chores? Who'd I fall for? Oh, I'm immature? What happens when the flames turn to flickers? Romantic gestures to bickers? Don't know who you are anymore We can't ignore The honeymoon phase is over And the Oscar goes to who? Lazy me or faker you? The shades closed off, the lights dimmed low I'm watching Dune, she's on her phone Taking the time to figure myself out Playing single-player on the couch Rather order in than eat out She said "Uh-huh that checks out" We used to be at it like rabbits From the floor to the cabinets, the garden, the attic Like who needs a mattress? Now she's go-go gadget with the attachments 12 inches, oh shit And the Oscar goes to who? Lazy me or faker you? The shades closed off, the lights dimmed low I'm watching Dune, she's on her phone Maybe there's romance in sweatpants Arby's and HBO Max No rose-colored glasses on I think our rom-com's long gone And the Oscar goes to who? Lazy me or faker you? (We need a restart) The shades closed off, the lights dimmed low I'm watching Dune, she's on her phone (Missing the best part) You're missing the best part come on

Don't think I'm too stupid to spot the tension A brooding obsession Heard you tried to slide into her DMs That's my girl, what the fuck? You're in love? Are you nuts? Oh, you were wasted? I guess let's pretend nothing happened To my ill-intentioned ex-best friend Every time that I scratch your back you stab mine I still can't tell if you're Jekyll or Hyde Why with your good looks and plain dumb luck Any other girl isn't good enough? Last Friday night you crossed a line Into a cross-haired sight Watching you try to make your move When you were hurt I was there, had your back, said a prayer And after everything we've been through, I see through you Your excuses useless Abandoned, hopeless, fuck you Every time that I scratch your back you stab mine I still can't tell if you're Jekyll or Hyde Why with your good looks and plain dumb luck Any other girl isn't good enough? When you heard I found out I ignored the call Just like I'll do to the one for your funeral When you drink your brain to an early grave And won't remember your own name I hope it hurts, and I hope that you're proud Of all you fucked up, it's all over now Our rivalry since 17 Every time that I scratch your back you stab mine I still can't tell if you're Jekyll or Hyde Why with your good looks and plain dumb luck Any other girl isn't good enough?

Sober thoughts buried deep In our hearts, while she sleeps At the party, I saw her face My conscience slipped away Thin walls, unlocked door Our fate for better or worse All over me, lost in your gravity Whispering, we can't tell Holly In the morning We knew we fucked up for sure And didn't speak a word You've seen me at my worst When coming to you for A helping hand This wasn't just an act of revenge So don't feel guilty, we won't tell Holly Going nowhere in your car Counting all the shooting stars Wishing somehow she'll be alright Our last chance I can't ignore So, well? What are we waiting for? Who knows what we'll be when the weekend's over Going nowhere in your car Counting all the shooting stars Wishing somehow she'll be alright Our last chance I can't ignore So, well? What are we waiting for? Who knows what we'll be when the weekend's over

Mathew 03:24
I remember the day of the wake The coolest kid with the palest face Blurry cue cards with words erased Breaking voice and violent shakes Wiped my tears and hugged your mom Before the longest bike home And summer locked in my room We miss you, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you Midnight drinking behind our old high school Looks like we can't move on without you When the future is cruel We miss you, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you The shadows move in strange ways I've been sitting here for days Staring into space We miss you, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you We put flowers on the site of the wreck Wait for God to make sense of this mess Sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat Pretend nothing happened You are still at the skate park, working on stand up Chip on your shoulder, fight with your brother Still dating Ashley and skipping class We are in the back seat, you're driving fast Our masterplan, the riverside Steal liquor and stay out all night Happiest Kids, the world was wide Our dreams were big, your future bright Midnight drinking behind our old high school Looks like we can't move on without you When the future is cruel We miss you, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you The shadows move in strange ways I've been sitting here for days Staring into space We miss you, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you Like the bottles cast to the shoreline Or the ashes after the bonfires Remnants of moments that mattered We miss you, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you For your memory in our heart With the glass kept in your spot A toast to the friend that we've lost To Mathew, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you We miss you, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you We miss you, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you

Lucky Guy 03:16
We met through a mutual friend After one conversation She saw who I am A drop-out with no plan A loser not fitting in Probably should have ran She didn't stick up her nose We talked but never got close It's just a moment that shows One of life's little knacks Reminding you to look back On what you'll never have 'Cause she's got plans, people to meet I've got time to kill and a couch to sleep Dreaming of what will never be She deserves much more than me Whoever I pretend to be On the last bus back to reality If I could turn it around Get a job or my band off the ground Clean up and put the pills down Maybe I could get her attention As someone more than a friend Just anything good enough But is it all a lost cause? To try forget who I was? Another story of a hopeless underdog Maybe it's just destiny She'll be a writer, and me Lucky to amount to anything She's got plans, people to meet I've got time to kill and a couch to sleep Dreaming of what will never be She deserves much more than me Whoever I pretend to be On the last bus back to reality She's got plans, a name to make I've got a guitar and a life to waste Singing about heartbreak I don't wanna take her time So this goes out to the lucky guy I hope you'll treat her right I hope you'll treat her right

Senicide 04:23
You were the lion of our pride On and off since I was nine If you only knew Everything me and my sister went through During your mid-life crisis Ditched my Mom when she was depressed No help, hopeless And left to fend for ourselves Back again, said you made a mistake Always such a fucking cliché Nothing you've said explains Why all of a sudden your spine is missing What's made you so soft? Friday night soaps or Sunday golf? Seeing me you're probably wondering Why I'm glaring at you grinding my teeth 'Cause it's not monkey see, then monkey do If you're sipping tea, while I'm sniffing glue So take a look and be amazed At the kids you didn't raise Lack of trust replaced with rage Building every single day What you mean is never true All you say you never do I will never be anything like you It's kind of funny when I miss the old man who When out of line would beat my ass I wanna see him one more time Now that I'm big enough to fight back You doormat don't try and tell me how I'll think when I'm as old as ya Just shut up and stay down 'Cause this is our house now, this is our house now It's not monkey see, then monkey do If you're sipping tea, while I'm sniffing glue So take a look and be amazed At the kids you didn't raise Lack of trust replaced with rage Building every single day What you mean is never true All you say you never do I will never be anything like you You don't know more than me Just 'cause you're 53 and I'm 19 There won't be some epiphany That makes abandoning seem okay to me I remember every night I heard my mother cry The same reason my brother pulled a knife On you so long ago How do you still not know? Every brick you have built Into this broken home It's not monkey see, then monkey do If you're sipping tea, while I'm sniffing glue So take a look and be amazed At the kids you didn't raise Lack of trust replaced with rage Building every single day What you mean is never true All you say you never do I will never be anything like you

Satellites 02:51
Warm hands, cold night Look up, see the satellites? They know more about me than I do Like you do Heartbreak, silence, excuses, like violence I'll only ever resort to if I got to Or if you want me to, want me to, want me to Call me the optimist Honest, I promise you this Things are gonna change It's just one of those days I'll be right here for you Always King and Queen of the overpass A&E outcasts They can kick me out of hell for all that I care As long as you're there Strange place, wet socks Giving all I got We'll make it somewhere, someday, somehow I'll figure it all out Call me the optimist Honest, I promise you this Things are gonna change It's just one of those days I'll be right here for you Always Call me the optimist Honest, I promise you this Things are gonna change It's just one of those days I'll be right here for you Always
