TWENTY 02:55
I'm a couple weeks away from turning twenty and it really bums me out I'm a little worried I'm not really ready but there's not much I can do right now take the pink line to the loop and back daily and it always brings me down i've been thinking about my home as of lately and i miss that fucking town I miss the town that i grew up in the kids that i grew up with the stupid shit that we did and i miss my fucking girlfriend I miss going to the skate park and always riding shotgun lying to my parents i miss having fun what's another day? what's another night? tack another year onto my life getting older sucks but i'm alright we're alright it was easier when we were kids said we'd never be like our parents no your working 9 to 5 killing yourself to pay the rent i feel weird about what happened cause we said we'd stay best friends but as time goes on i guess it's easy to forget what's another day? what's another night? tack another year onto my life getting older sucks but i'm alright we're alright minutes into hours hours into days days turn into weeks then weeks turn into months minutes into hours hours into days days to weeks weeks to months living day to day really ads up what's another day? what's another night? tack another year onto my life getting older sucks but i'm alright we're alright

you turned your back on me i turned the other cheek sometimes i still think about folly beach I walk back and fourth through an open door i'll come back for more when i get bored you can't pay off your car much less hold a job a bump on a log i'm not one to talk i use cash for gold to pay off student loans but it don't put a dent in what i owe we're just burnouts and white trash going nowhere fast no worries it's alright i swear I grew up in a tired town where tired ghosts seem to float around we shot the shit we always talked about steeling cars and getting out but i ran from where i am from and it was fun for a while but the fun is done i woke up today with a different name and i slowly sink into my old ways we're just burnouts and white trash going nowhere fast no worries it's alright i swear

i'm not smarter i'm just older i'm still fucking myself over like i did when i was younger but i get in way more trouble i get bored and i watch tv i watch porn and i feel sleezy seems like i'm always chasing or just running from a feeling i tried my fucking best that's what i have to tell myself so that i can get to sleep my past eats away at me, myself, and everybody else i never found it in me to tell you how i felt about all of the late nights most of the long drives we got in those dumb fights we were always being dumb guys here's to having fun here's to the way shit was before we ever got drunk before we ever did those drugs pictures of lost friends saved text messages will bring us back to a place we never should have left and i know it's a little late but i'm feeling the weight of the things i wanted as a kid and the things i did to get them and i know it's a little late but i'm more than a little bit drunk and i need to be reminded of the last time i had fun weight of the world my head hangs low i've watched people that i love turn into people i don't know we all go to bed every single night a little less alive a little more dead inside weight of the world my head hangs low i've watched people that i love turn into people i don't know we all go to bed every single night a little less alive a little more dead inside

the songs that set you free now ball and chains strapped to your feet you travel town to town just like a circus clown singing songs that you wrote over two decades ago that you no longer believe in but still sings cause it's convenient you were my idol, my hero, my god but you're a liar, a fake, a fraud so take off that fucking mask and tell the truth you're just cellophane, we can see through you you've gotten a little older and a lot less relevant in an attempt to tip the scales you try to inflate yourself tell the kids that you're important that they should watch and learn but this aint the scene you started it has changed and so have they you were one of my favorite fucking bands but now when i see you live i just get sad so take off that fucking mask and tell the truth you're just cellophane, we can see through you you swore that you'd never grow up you swore that you'd always stay young you swore that you'd never grow up you feel trapped you feel stuck so take off that fucking mask and tell the truth you're just cellophane we can see through you

NOT SO SMART 00:59
I try my best to always look good to always always sound smart like i know i should i cut my hair short and i sit up straight i keep my mouth shut but not today today's the day i'm not so smart make mistakes i'll crash my car call your phone i'll spill my heart cause today's they day that i'll have fun i give an inch you take a mile bad ideas just pile higher the sun blacks out slowly but surely this endless summer will end early today's the day that i'll have fun i'll skip class and i'll do drugs skate around and just act dumb today's the day that i'll have fun

Fucked up angry and restless I haven’t slept in days Always in last place never the best bet I guess I’ll never change But you knew I had a problem even though I try to hide it there’s a devil that’s inside me and I’m trying my best to fight it when we met we were kids so confused so innocent I made promises back then I did not intend to break I stayed young and you grew up I moved north we grew apart you got a real job and I’ve been working on my art I’m self-centered Distant and scattered Spend my time thinking about Shit that doesn’t matter And I know I’m young But I wont be for long Thought I’d stay 16 forever Turns out I was wrong It’s the middle of the winter And I’ve come home to visit But everything is different And everyone seems distant Where did all my friends go Don’t see anyone I know They’re all so dull and lifeless That I can’t call this home Just a year ago We all were just losers Getting fucked up in a trailer Talking shit about the future Egging houses break mailboxes Found happiness forgot it Now we’re betting all we’ve got Trying to win back out losses

I like hanging out with you I work and you sleep in till noon we watch shark shows on the tube i'm not bored when there's nothing to do cause i like hanging out with you

I can’t keep my Head above the water Never finished what I started You tried to make me listen But it didn’t make a difference Made me promise made me vow To get a job and mellow out I guess that I fell short I didn’t give up I just got bored Fell in love you broke my heart I moved up north and sold my car I aint been making progress But at least I made an effort Things have changed they’ve gotten weird I’ve lost the things that I hold dear That’s the way things go You live you love you lose you grow

It started out as an endless summer ended up as a total bummer we kill brain cells and we get dumber we wait around for something funner winter's here this place is freezing empty buildings line empty beaches our jobs depend on offshore breezes we wait around for tourist seizin' I'm good at making promises and better at breaking them I dig my feet into the sand my bones break before they bend sit around and just pretend i'm still the man i think i am instead of the total wreck i know i really am It started out as an endless summer ended up as a total bummer we kill brain cells and we get dumber we wait around for something funner winter's here this place is freezing empty buildings line empty beaches our jobs depend on offshore breezes we wait around for tourist seizin' I'm bad at thinking most things through and worse at keeping cool bad ideas turned into proof walk away before i do i've been filling empty rooms with questionable career moves aim for the stars land on the moon compromises through and through It started out as an endless summer ended up as a total bummer we kill brain cells and we get dumber we wait around for something funner winter's here this place is freezing empty buildings line empty beaches our jobs depend on offshore breezes we wait around for tourist seizin'

NEW YEAR 01:45
another year has gone by and i'm feeling less alive i use to thrive off making mistakes getting shitfaced with my friends but all my friends have learned their lessons the ones that didn't have been arrested it seems the world has gotten colder and all my friends have gotten older but i can't bring myself to grow up and i know i'm not alone Somewhere down the line i fell out of step my head is wrecked i guess i'm doing alright nothing good is free my priorities are fucked i've got everything i need but nothing that i want getting drunk off my ass in the rain being loud starting fights on the train skipping class and wasting my brain sit on my ass and waste the day Sit around and waste the day just sit around and waste away My lungs are still breathing so i guess my heat's still beating so i guess i'm still alive so i guess i'm still... i want to be more than "Just surviving" i want to be stoked on life and thriving make the most of everyday and watch the darkness fade away and I know I'm not alone

I've been working 9 to 5 trying my best to stay alive and it gets harder every night but i know i'll be alright i've been using cash for gold trying to pay off all my loan even with all that i have sold there's still so much that i owe i've been worse and i've been better when things get bad i don't get bitter cause i'll never control the weather and everything always gets better I'm wishing on shooting stars it don't get me very far i still can't pay off my car much less even hold a job all these waves just rock my boat i try my best to stay afloat sometimes it works sometimes it don't but that's just the way it goes i've been worse and i've been better when things get bad i don't get bitter cause i'll never control the weather and everything always gets better
