Beer 01:48
lyrics
Friday's on its way and you begin to get the ache Thinking maybe you'll go get a beer An alcoholic brew or two will likely see you through And the week's issues all disappear Down the hatch and crack another one Drink a crate until the last one's done Saturday's arrived and to bring the night to life Is best done with some friends and some beer Maybe hit the town and all get in a couple rounds You'll get blind drunk 'til you can't think clear Nobody else drinks the way you do Wake up on the floor of the bathroom Sundays are no fun when your head feels like a gun Has been fired off right next to your ear You're not feeling great and you're starting to debate Whether you're going to give up on beer In your heart you know you'll never quit Much more fun indulging bad habits

Endless Summer 01:58
lyrics
Sat in the sun on north beach Not a cloud in the sky Clear waves lap at the shore line Toward the end of July Laid on top of the ruins Without a care in the world Knowing we were invincible Didn't stop the sunburn I think on my last day I'd like one more like that Take me back down to the shore line Hope that's not too much to ask Sun sets slow over the sea Sets the whole sky ablaze We set fire to some driftwood And fell asleep by the blaze
3.
Under Starlight 02:23
lyrics
Sunset on a humid evening Skin glistens with sweat A sly smile in my direction hints that You're up for making regrets Discarding all of our clothes as we Make our way down the sand Is it the cold of the water or nerves Causing those shaking hands Under moonlight on the shoreline We will dance beneath the starlight Anticipating this for a long time Until the warm kiss of new dawn light Midnight of the summer solstice And I don't mean to sound rude But all it took was a slight suggestion To get us all swimming nude

From a Dying Town 03:29
lyrics
This town is all I've ever known I Get to watch it, slowly dying This place doesn't feel like home It's time to go now I'm done fighting I know these, dirty streets Like they're close friends I've walked them, so often Seen their descent Paved with our, memories Bitter and sweet now lined with, smashed bottles And cracked concrete Most leave here, deciding Not to return Some stuck here, forgotten Of no concern Which are we? Discarded Or did we choose I like to, believe that We stayed to rule

Sounds Like an Overture 03:23
lyrics
Oh no, act cool And don't say nothing stupid 'Cause girls, are cruel Especially to you kid They all laugh And say that you've no future And they are right Cause no-one likes a loser Suave, is not, Something you can do well Just smile, a lot And listen to when she tells You, about The type of guy she likes and How it's not The type of guy in a band Until the words slip from her mouth To say she's undeterred Sounds like an overture to me And it's so amazing Fireworks are what you heard Around when something stirred in you And all those cliched things But what, if you Should go and mess it up now Think, it through The pressure's building up how Do, you ask To go to the next level Is it, too fast And what if she's judgemental Safety nets They don't exist in this place When you fall You're gonna land on your face Feel, the fear Anxiety attacking See them sneer And everybody's laughing

California Can Burn 02:44
lyrics
Sense of compassion Just not your thing You'd lie and cheat your way through life And then I Caught your attention World upside down And made you want to improve You can Get your satisfaction from this You can die with my name on your lips Cause I need a california girl no more But I'm a liar I outplayed you I made you think I was sincere When really Any desire To see things through Was an illusion you fool You can I'm good for something For feeling nothing You're on the hunt and Can't see me coming
7.
Suffocate 03:02
lyrics
This will always let me down and Suffocate me, overwhelming Til within I start to drown Just let me go, I'm not worth saving now I can't sleep There's something Inside me It's seething Implanted Seductive Restricting My breathing This numbness Consumes me Indifference It grabs me By my neck Controlling Constricting I'm choking I want to feel better
8.
A Haunted House 02:55
lyrics
This house holds a lot of skeletons Only one of them mine There's no running so better grow a spine Blood running out with the water Spills out into the street if something sounds a little bit creepy that's just me Foundations are starting to decay Out from under my feet Joints are creaking and there's cracks in the concrete Dust causes haze in the air and There's paper peeling off of the walls A shadow looming following me down every hall Say your body's a temple, well then I guess that makes me a haunted house Looking for a new tenant baby Where are you, I'm crumbling down
9.
The Weekends 02:28
lyrics
Mornings we grab a coffee Then I make us some food Maybe watch urban rescue ranch That's how we do Maybe we're not perfect But you're good for me Maybe we should go back to bed We do like our sleep We could both watch a movie Or we could play a game Just sit talking for hours About something lame I like being imperfect As much as I like you Far too tired to run away So let's see this through Mornings we grab a coffee Then I make us some food It's not much but I like it That's me and you

All Bark No Balls 02:16
lyrics
He's a chaotic neutral boy and Licks your face when he needs to poop He's not allowed into the upstairs In the morning when his eyes have goop He thinks that every toy is his... rope All bark, but has he got balls? Nope Does the side eye when he's stretching And he likes getting his butt scritched We think he's gay 'cause he's kinda sassy He don't need no basic bitch Hates wet, still gets his broofcase... soaked All bark, but has he got balls?... Nope. He's a dog, his name is broofus And he show him teeth He's always so enthusiastic His favourite word is treats His name is Bruce but he's got a lisp and That's why we call him Broof He goes to school with Woody and Stanley And lots of other floofs Do you want to play? Do you need to poop? Bruce, please use your words What do you want? What do you want Broof?

Silver Linings 03:01
lyrics
The rain is crashing down against my window Like a tidal wave I'm trying to look for a silver lining But every cloud is gray Overcast days, and drops against the window pane Turn me introspective, analyse the inside of my brain Mistakes come back to haunt me and I know I've made a few Missed many opportunities I wish that I'd pursued I've left a trail of broken hearts and had mine broke as well I've let friends make bad decisions that turned their whole lives to hell Done some things that I'm not proud of, and now that I'm alone I'll take a second to go over them and see how much I've grown I'm trying to clear my head and figure out my problems I've got a few and I still don't know how to solve them But making effort seems the likely place to start and if I Crash and burn at least I tried so bless this tired heart so Am I an arsehole? Maybe in the past I've been a Little quick to judge and blamed it on having a laugh, but now I'm Older, not much wiser, aim to be a little nicer Be a lover not a fighter, if not remain an outsider
12.
Mr Kerosine 02:30
lyrics
Hero worship's unbecoming Stripped of wealth and left with nothing He's a lowly mortal too when Faced with flames you'll see it's true I'm not number one, I'll never be famous And that's acceptance with no jealousy I'm here for one thing and for one thing only To burn a legacy - call me Mr Kerosine Just want to shake it up and cause some more headaches And building fortune isn't part of the dream The feeling that I want when you say my name is A sense of infamy - call me Mr Kerosine Flames lick up the walls, dance slowly Smoke filled rooms of broken homes need Extra gas to cleanse the sins of Jealous gods in need of - violent hymns, so When the rat crawls out his hole see Gods are fake and Devils are not flammable
13.
Wrong To Be Right 02:43
lyrics
You set the bar so low it's basically a tripping hazard You flaunt your ignorance a lot when you make idle chatter You speak your hatred loud and only ever punch down You hide behind a fake account but now you're found out I've got no patience for a bigot on his soap box You're not so perfect, or in any shape to throw rocks So say it loud enough to help removing any doubt What makes you think I'd shout when your glass jaw is sticking out You fired the first shot when you cast your net so very wide You stereotype all the time and speak of tribal pride You demonized a group of people like they weren't human You poked the ember and I'll stoke the flames of retribution I'll be your downfall Shine light on all you conceal You play the victim This time you get to for real
14.
The Pub at the End of the World 02:40
lyrics
If you find yourself here Then you've took a wrong turn and disappeared It's like a crack house, without the charm though It's a hole where, all the dead go Lost souls with, no direction In dire need of a friendly intervention They'll even tell you, that they love you Be aware that, that's a lie too In the pub with, all the losers Old pervs and washed up cougars At the back sat, in the darkness I'm the washed up, starving artist There's no future, where we live - how Do we make it when they shut the whole town down Bitter end to, another story We can't pretend it-isn't purgatory Dime a dozen fishing on this night Heaven must be missing a fist fight This was far from bliss and I wish I Hadn't tried to commit with a kiss bye It's a hole that you'll never escape It's a hell that you help create and It's an end to, aspirations It's a nightmare, it's degrading
15.
Enough 03:44
lyrics
She takes off her clothes and, throws them aside It's not like I mean it. It's not like it means a thing And while I'm looking for something pure To fix what makes me so insecure I'll be here, still waiting, until you call There aren't enough drugs in the world to fix the way we feel There's not enough love so so we fake a new one So when enough's enough we'll settle for what isn't real So when you change your mind don't be suprised if I'm gone Takes off my clothes and act out her taboos It's not like I need this. It's not like she's you. And while I'm searching for something right To fix the emtiness that's inside I'll be here, still waiting, right by her side
16.
End Of Summer 02:52
lyrics
Better shut all the windows, and pack up shop Because today's my last day, and then I'm off I've got all my things packed, I'm good to go No destination planned out, into the unknown I leave without a fanfare, just disappear Without a shred of a trace that, I was ever here Leave a wake of empty bottles, and broken hearts So long, I'll see you later. Time to depart The end of summer and the final chapter Closing the book and starting something new Maybe the fall will mean a hard October But I'll see it through I'll see it through
