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

WHO I AM IS NOT MY PAST
02:11

sell all of my shit
break the shackles from my wrists
forget the things i did
i'll live the life i want to live
be who i want to be
quit the job i fucking hate
living day to day
i'm ganna throw my life away
wake up everyday
redefine the role i play
never tied down
i'm free to go i'm free to stay
use to be so good
but today i'm feeling bad
free to be who i am
cause who i am is not my past
and i never thought i'd say
i was better off that way
getting fucked out of my brain
almost every single day
picking fights with total strangers
as i throw up in the train
i guess i'm just built that way
i was lying when i said
you would see my face again
change my name to john smith
buy a trailer and get hitched
to a girl with dirty shoes
i guess bad things come in twos
we're white trash through and through
with crooked smiles and dumb tattoos
i aint ever right
i guess i'm wrong most of the time
but it's hard to keep things straight
when the sun don't ever shine
i've been trapped down in the dark
for a couple months it seems
learned to sit up straight
shave my head and forget my dreams
fuck that

MY FAVORITE BANDS
02:09
|

the songs that set you free
now ball and chain 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 sing cause it's convenient
you were my idol
my hero
my god
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
