you change people just by existing the person you make yourself to be rubs off on people trust me if you love breakfast your best friend will make you french toast and eat it with you too. believe me it's true and I know you feel unheard I know you do but everything you say has meaning And you are listened to so don't you dare give up yet Cause I've fallin in love with everyone I've met So if you're ever feeling worthless just know, to me you've got purpose You make me pretty happy when I think of all the things you've said And you make others happy too just with your existence Cause you change people just by existing the person you make yourself out to be rubs off on people trust me if you love breakfast your best friend will make you french toast and eat it with you too. believe me it's true and I know you feel unheard I know you do but everything you say has meaning And you are listened to So if someone ever says I love you and you doubt it to be the truth well that's okay but one day you'll be frustrated when you're on the other end and you'll probably want to explode and I really that hope you do pour your heart out to that person until they say I love you too

I wanna burn down the system I wanna burn it to the ground Don't wanna build a new one in it's place I just wanna leave it there for years and years I wanna spit in it's smoldering face I wanna liberate the masses from all of the facists That plague our lives day to day Don't care what you wanna do Don't care what you got to say I want to live my life my way Please fuck off Don't wanna fuck on Fuck off dad and fuck off the moms of this world let the glass bottles be hurled to their stupid fucking heads, let them be dead that might seem harsh That might seem off putting But they say that we won't watch where we're looking So they need a look With some elses eye So they can see how many people fucking die From their elected leaders who refuse to feed us GOD DAMN IT WHY WONT THEY FEED US we just want some food dude

Sittin alone on the weekend again Just drinkin and thinkin oh when will this end Probably within the week well I would've left my house by now But I'm too afraid that I will be alone So I'll steal booze or find someone to get me stoned if I had a penny for every single time that I wanted to hop a freight car I'd have enough for a dollar pbr A DOLLAR PBR I hope I get kicked out of my parents house Cause If I don't then I don't know how I'LL FIND A WAY OUT OF THIS PLACE I've never been more afraid What will happen to me next is a mystery Cause if I don't decide something for myself I'll end up disappointing someone else I don't want my future to be as blurry as impressionism But that's what happens when you fuck with nihilism SO ILL CASH IN MY SAVINGS BONDS AND SPEND IT ALL ON ONE THOUSAND LOTTERY TICKETS AND HOPE THAT I WIN IT cause that's all hope really is It's a chance It'll be dance or finance harmonica 6 i4 i6 4

You asked me where building NE is You said I think it means northeast I chuckled and I said North campus building E I hope you find where it is Because I really do care And by the way you're pretty cute and I really like your hair I know this is the first time I've talked to you but it might not be the last I hope I see you again I hope one day we'll be in the same class I hope you find out where NE is Cause the directions I gave you were pretty shitty Remember it's the glass exterior building North Campus building E

Someone please Tell me how to get back up I’m losing touch Poppin pills stuck in a rut I'm losing touch On another plane… I feel insane I've lost my brain Please help me up x3 Cause this Graph of time to happiness It tends to slip and slide But now I feel as though I'm falling off On a different line Is this the fucking deep end Or just an ocean trench Chugging down the booze And soon my life is spent My life's destroyed Smashed to smithereens oh fuck oh boi This is my last plea Please set me free x2 Every day I wake up even further down the line so as I pour another cup I hope this time I die this time I'll die x2 Cause this Graph of time to happiness It tends to slip and slide But now I feel as though I'm falling off On a different line Is this the fucking deep end Or just an ocean trench Chugging down the booze And soon my life is spent Give me the gift of sincerity or tell me where my life is going to be a year from now or help me out ev en if you are dra ging my corpse in to a coff in with full force Cause this Graph of time to happiness It tends to slip and slide But now I feel as though I'm falling off On a different line Is this the fucking deep end Or just an ocean trench Chugging down the booze And soon my life is spent gotta start drawing upwards or I'll fall off the line gotta quit swallowing pills gotta let my star shine I gotta get a better job I gotta lay off the wine hopefully soon I'll have enough hope to add some more numbers on my timeline

The first songs about skullfucking the planet And drowning yourself in bodily excrement But what if you are in your prime Well that's a song for another time Next songs about how you're important And about how it's not yet time to quit But what if you don't talk to anyone Some other day that song is sung Next songs about killing fascists But what if you are a pacifist Well then this song aint for you I'll have to write another song or two Next one's about my future But what if you just can't relate it to yourself thought you already knew but to be sure I wrote that song for myself Next songs about grabbing hold of a steering wheel Moving my life forward like an automobile But what if you're in the back seat Well come up here and sit with me The next song is about a stranger Loving them although I had not met her But what if she hears it and thinks I'm a creep I'll write another song in my sleep The next song is about beer and all the good times I've had this year but what if I'm an alcoholic well fuck I'll write a song about it The next song is about music and how I don't need all that equipment but what if it just don't sound right We'll turn that frustration into a fight Next songs about losing my mind And my fear that I'll soon die But what if I really do die I will have lost my ability to write Last song is this one You're probably wondering what the point was Well I think that every song is for someone But not every song is for everyone so take a moment and close your eyes unless you're on a drive well if you are in that case please drive safe You will make it to that place. And then you can rest and be safe.

about

This album comes free with a pdf of a zine that has everything there is to know about the album on it, except for the stuff only I know... I suggest downloading the zine and having a look, it has shoutouts and explanations of a little bit of the songs in there.
