Sometimes people talk to me at shows I get anxious when I meet the ones that don’t I too often have nothing else to say When I’m tight i talk and talk for days What if they hate the songs I sang tonight I criticize all the time when I’m drinking at Baby’s All Right, it’s allright By second nature I asked that you would come to our show and hear these songs In front of other people Your songs in front of other people Who would have thought that you’d be smoking pot With our friend Molly getting frozen in June Still on time we played at 9 at the rock shop nearby Gowonus Before you had the chance to even ask I told you it was fine if tonight you took a pass Like the weeknights when I’m tired and it snowed A chandelier of lights at the closed down cameo Vice did away with all our favorite spots on Kent Like Vegas said fuck the clocks let’s give them oxygen Let’s give them oxygen I need some oxygen

Cringe 03:17
I cringe a lot from a lack of self esteem Bound myself in reflections of your dreams Run with you never to be found Behind closed eyes our feet won’t leave the ground I want what you’ve got - Despise her desire I bite my skin at any thought of pain It brings me back from a subconscious state When I slip and think about the fall Or running lights when I’m high as the clouds I want what you’ve got - Inspire desire Eliminate vision and deflect unwanted sounds When social situations become awkward and loud I turned my back on all philosophies Too many books and I cant even read I want what you’ve got but I know I want what I can’t ever hold I want what you’ve got It never stops Inspire desire

Shaman 02:57
I met a shaman who grew up in Queens On the D train his knees touching me He went to Hampshire and studied the spirits Back to sunset proclaimed to be fearless All talk no leaving - Hope deceived me. A Girl from London asked for direction I was lost caught dreaming again Thought we better stick together So many souls coasting within I met a shaman who grew up in Queens Talking of spirits the ones in my genes I need to leave this place for another But to where if I only knew

Night stands still when I want to go home Trapped in time that doesn’t let go No girl no, you never want to go With the music still up, the party going on Fear of missing out, fear of missing friends Keeping you from coming home to our bed Fear of Missing Out Around the time I met you We danced and drank until two I want to grow up, I don’t want fame Move into the country, see the stars again, Fear of missing out the fear of missing friends Gonna renew our lease again (Wild Manes Crooning) No girl no, you never want to go With the music still up, the party going on Fear of missing out, fear of missing friends Gonna renew our lease again
5.
I’m so good at losing hats Now we’ve gone and lost our minds So many shirts that i don’t wear And single socks that envy pairs I know you want to Just don’t know how to go home I promise to you I’m scared too but let’s just go home Will you run away with me If only for a year I’m living in the present But desire will not lessen
6.
When a love arrives or fades through time I always write best Like when we finished school, lying beneath the dunes Reading, drinking wine Tell me that you’re leaving Take it all away Just leave paper for the songs Can’t get you off my mind or change back the time If this thing is for real which i know that it is The days will never come Tell me that you’re leaving Take it all away Pease just for pretend, come back in the end This is hardly verbose Of what i feel most My notebooks are blank Dear Pretender Tell me you won’t leave me If you take it all away it won’t be worth the pain I simply write best when alone and depressed

Jeremy's Car 03:20
Wouldn’t you think that all those rides Are bound to wear it down They came around and made The thoughts break on simple ground A blue so true it pained my eyes It was plain for them to see This was going nowhere fast Just a show for company Getting sick with mortal shame What’s it gonna bring Moved into the desert heat Just so i could feel her think She knows he doesn’t want to go Just waiting to leave Climbing high till the fall could make him die Then come back from space The sun sets down It seems as if forever The night won’t come Light is lost to another Always sticking around But i’m splitting away (Can’t you hear the speaker Calling your name)
8.
Battles 02:29
I wore a tie for half of my life I was baptized and christened before we could listen welcome to the team, say yes, say yes, before you even know what you’re believing constantine tried the creed on for size his men painted crosses to minimize losses And christ served him well and from fear of hell he converted for optimal bloodshed i was twenty-three and back from new zealand spent christmas and new years cold in long island we skipped mass and it devastated my mother the solace for many will justify prayer so long as its love and not hatred they share if you accept all the crazy beliefs then i’m down with your party I met a girl and she turned me agnostic It could have been love but the power was lost now all i see are the battles. All of the big ones are a guide to compassion The ones that cause wars and political vacuums The friction is fierce and hence all the fire If only the founders would come and conspire I got a job - I’m writing a book

Made It Up 02:54
Do you know how to get us out of here Said the children to the thieves Lets try hiding in the atmosphere And bleed out so quietly Made it up All the others out to get us No diseases within Don’t you question their rights To their armor piercing clips
10.
Sultry 03:52
Another sultry summer Western woods are gonna burn Self praise devotion And it’s only June I want to spend the summer Driving west through Canada South at the water I’ll meet you down in Oregon Outside of Vancouver Ashes snowing on the cars What’s that you had to say That this wasn’t man made What’s that you had to say The mid Atlantic’s feeling crowded People hiding all their money in cans Fuel and natural disasters More traffic than land I read about the big one Said i wouldn’t move there Irrationality of fear Or what may be coming Social norm of the year The streets smell abandoned All the windows are gone Cars left upon the freeway Satellites all alone Never thought I’d see a day With all us walking No use for the screens on the walls We should start writing out the letters For when the power’s all gone
