A Year Underwater 03:23
lyrics
a year underwater and i'm still breathing fine taking smoke into my lungs they'll collapse from the inside i know it's not my problem, i said things that i'll regret. got my back against the wall, let me go, just let me go a year underwater and i'm still breathing fine trace the ridges on my skull and run your fingers down my spine and if you come a little closer i'll forget to breathe at all twisted hands and bloodshot eyes, twisting fingers in my sides. try to stay afloat, drink to keep from drowning and if the current pulls you down i'll keep my head up. a year underwater and i'm still breathing fine, be the pins and needles in my arms and help me fall asleep tonight and if you come a little closer i'll say something that i'll regret got my back against the wall, don't let me go, don't let me go. so will you look me in the eye and tell me that everything's alright and if you try to ask me why i'll turn this car around but i'd love to watch you drive if that means i'm coming home with you tonight i'm on my back now, staring at the ceiling face first, i fall to the ground you're so contagious but when i'm with you, i'm coughing my lungs out.

The Spiders Come Out At Night 04:23
lyrics
some nights i feel invincible, like nothing that i say could bring me down but i've overstayed my welcome the second i came through here so show me to the door and i'll leave without a sound maybe sleep beneath the bushes 'til the morning and i hope that it haunts you like the spiders crawling through your sheets at night but that's my life so step into my frame, we'll put the pictures away; glass still cuts you anyway. maybe i'll move to the coast, cut my hair and change my name, but you'd still recognize my shadow against a blackened background. so when "Planetary" starts playing in your living room we'll dance 'til we get dizzy but momentum makes me weak and i still hope that it haunts you like the spiders crawling through your sheets at night, but that's my life, but that's my life. i'll probably hide in my room won't show my face around here again i'll make some instant coffee to keep me up all night 'cuz i got my records and i got this slightly drunken afterglow and if we don't talk it 'cuz i wasn't having that much fun tonight.

100 Meter Dash 02:26
lyrics
(contains a lyrical interpolation of "Lost In The World" by Kanye West) let's break out of this fake-ass party, turn this into a classic night. if we die in each other's arms we'd still be fucked in the afterlife. everything is fine, but could you open up your window? i need to cool down and i know you're just running through the cuts on your knees and the cracks in the concrete one day you'll wipe off the smirk and wipe off the cold sweat that tastes like whiskey, coca-cola and regret. and i'll go home and i'll get stoned 'cuz i'm not about that, no, not tonight. and i'll go home, i'll be sleeping alone in the morning. she said i grew up too fast but i'm the last one through the finish line so why can't you finish what you started with me tonight? and i'll go home and i'll get stoned, i was never about that, no, not tonight. and i'll go home, i'll be sleeping alone in the morning. i know i grew up too fast, i'll never cross the finish line with you.

Sadsacking 03:55
lyrics
i'll ride my skateboard across campus to see what you're up to i'll take the long way home if you've got better things to do and i'm looking for a reason why i'd need to leave this couch this time tomorrow and i'll take you with me, we could ride my skateboard. and someday i'll learn how to give the right fucks and i will set the record straight that these sad songs that i've been singing are just melodies and words. and someday i'll learn how to screw my head on straight pick it up and put the pieces back together if i knew how, if i knew how. i never knew, i never knew how. you used to be so funny when you got high and you stood in the center of the room. you were the center of attention, the part i was always so desperate for. all the right friends and all the wrong decisions, breaking windows and slamming doors all night. one drink turns into four or five, it's not your worst idea, but this is not how i planned this out. and someday i'll learn how to give the right fucks, but i'm too tired, too hungover to go outside. songs ringing in the back of my head, they never meant nothing to anyone but me. and someday i'll learn how to shut the fuck up, my tongue's a shovel that's been digging me down too deep, but don't you're only twenty-one, you should be having fun instead of crying yourself to sleep. walking home, i guess you'd rather be alone.

Flyover State 06:36
lyrics
cast out on still water, saw my shadow, then i hid in the corner. tried to remember but i'm drawing a blank this time. so speak, 'cuz i only speak when i'm spoken to. i unravel and roll down this downtown street after midnight, down this starry-eyed highway in your head. but i would be your headrest on the drive home 'cuz it's a long way to New Jersey and i need to be alone sometimes but keep it to yourself and i won't say a word now. keep it to yourself and i won't tell anyone, i swear. but it's not really like that. now wait, i was never really fighting the good fight so cover your eyes 'til you see it or pretend you don't hear 'til the floorboards give you away or toss in both our hands tonight, we're the cutest kids with dark sides. we've got nothing to hide, and that's just fine, but no one wants to hear that we're alright. your makeup won't hide the circles under your eyes i'll take it as a sign that's telling me i'm just like you call it like it is, then i'll call myself a taxi 'cuz i don't think that i can look at you with a straight face. you broke down and i don't need that in my life, i'm giving up on all my happily-ever-afters with you.

Keystone Builds Character 03:03
lyrics
grinding my teeth down at the sight of you dressed to kill you can tell that i've been drinking by the blank expression that's so typical but i've got a case of keystone that your older brother bought if there's a night to not remember i'd pick tonight because i don't take pictures and i don't write songs i just sit and wait in silence while my head spins around we drew x's on our hands so we could stay young forever and i know it's not pathetic i just swear that this is gonna get better and it's not pathetic i know that this is gonna get better so call the cops 'cause we're burning this one down but hold up, 'cause i don't really mean that i was only joking about that in the worst way possible college freshman, i don't know what my body's used for but you don't like her that much do you? you don't like her that much do you? i don't take pictures and i don't write songs i just sit and wait in silence with my spinning head and i'm seeing stars tonight so this is me throwing up in your bedroom and this is me passed out on your floor and this is me making a list of all the things that turned you off tonight and it's not pathetic 'cause it's getting better

The Punching Game 01:56
lyrics
i want you to procrastinate me forget that i exist pretend that i am not meant to be alive. i want you to second-guess me, act like i am broken, treat me like a punching bag and tell me i'm a waste of your time.

sk8b0@rd 02:54
lyrics
hungover but i won't hang up, acting like i give a fuck. let me waste another day skateboarding my problems away. this summer i thought i'd grow out my hair in hopes that no one would recognize me, or act like i am too cool to care and fall off my skateboard 'til i bleed. and i will waste another day, self-esteem is overrated anyway. blood is gushing from my knees (and i can't get up) my palms become asphalt from falling in the street (and i can't get up) push me down until my conscience dies (so i'll drink enough) drink away another wasted night (that i won't wake up) this summer i thought i'd finally give up 'cuz i can only take so much and drop out of school and start a band, but nothing ever goes according to plan. i'll drink away another day, self-esteem is overrated anyway. and then you woke from a bad dream and saw right through me. cut the hair out of my eyes, you're just too old for that.

Demerits 06:12
lyrics
your older brother went off to see a slightly larger version of a world where he knew everything; sent postcards from a semester abroad to remind you what you missed out on. i woke up with a headache and eight missed calls why do i do this to myself? i just need a solid eight or something like a break in the cycle, i guess the way it's been going lately started catching up and that's worse than bringing shame on your family or the sickly shade of pale in the mirror first thing in the morning. i guess we all need reminders when we're getting by because that's something to aspire to. so lay it to rest, i suppose, lay it to rest, i suppose. and so you asked if i was doing alright. we shot the shit and got high in your car, parked next to the high school. we graduated with reckless abandon, now we're skipping out on our five-year reunion 'cuz i was never one for keeping up appearances, i could never keep up anyway. then i saw the cherry reflect in your iris, a song came on the radio, you started singing: "everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright." just like you told me it would. you called me out on my bluff when i couldn't keep my cards close to my chest, couldn't keep a straight face when you dumped my boxes at the foot of my driveway. a fifty-two-degree morning, october 2014. you won't kiss me when i smell like smoke, but there's ash in the seams of the sweatshirt you borrowed before, and you won't kiss me when i smell like smoke, and if you can't live without me then i would wear black to your wedding. you won't kiss me when i smell like smoke. you won't kiss me when i smell like smoke, so i'll lay it to rest, i suppose.

Cigarette 04:13
lyrics
i am lighting this cigarette from a pack i should never have bought in the first place. i feel a little bit sick to my stomach, my hands are trembling, i'm running out of time. there are ghosts sitting on my shoulders, they mutter incomprehensible words to the rhythm of the falling rain, my twisted thoughts have started crossing the line. and maybe it's an inside joke, maybe i'm on the wrong side of the fence, but baby, if it's not funny, then why are you laughing? i am a skeleton painted orange on display behind shattered glass. you are the river running through me, you knock me down on my way home. it's getting kind of dark out, i can't see. i guess i'm just eternally on my knees, all i can make out is "get out while you still can!" and then a static on your end of the phone. and i will wait on your front porch, i will smoke you out of my head. and maybe you could cut the rope, or take a razor blade to a screen door, i know you know that it's not fucking funny, so why are you laughing?

Buenos Suertes, Charlie Brown! 04:52
lyrics
i wrote the book on beating myself up so where's the punchline, and who's laughing now? i beat the joke to a pulp and took the 36 home, and laid my head down. then i spent my last six dollars on a six-pack of shitty beer to share with you. it's a fool's gold standard of how we've been getting by. but i've never been one to drag out stupid things like these, i just hope you find your dreams, it's too late for me. and you keep saying that you could do better, but, god, i've heard that too much lately. you're too hung up on how people never change and i'm not trying to prove you wrong tonight. and you said don't look towards the light, your last chance to get it right, but if it keeps you hanging on, then i'll probably wait for you here. so save this for when you're all alone watching the raindrops hit your window. you always loved just what they were doing, the way they'd echo back. well, i'm just saying that i could do better, but god, you're not listening to anything i say. you're too hung up on how i'm never gonna change, and i guess this all just proved you wrong tonight.

Fly 02:53
lyrics
a fly is flickering in and out of sight behind the corner of my windowsill. if i could clip its wings off and rearrange them in some other type of pattern i would. so when the best year of your life faded, were they as good as you hoped they would be? when pretending to be sad is progress it's the only way i know how to be. so they drew an x on my hand, no, i don't think i'll be drinking tonight. i'm waking up early in the morning, yeah, tomorrow i'm gonna make it all right. so they drew an x on my hand so i could stay young forever. i washed it off the next morning in the shower, buttoning my shirt as i leave.
