Sick Is the New Sane

They say this city never sleeps
well that makes two of us
Barely back on my feet
Just as they start to run
But I don’t really know
What I did that’s making my head so sick
But I know what’s coming for me
So wrap your hands around my throat
And swear you’ll never let me go
Started losing my teeth
I’ve got a guilty conscience
They fall out when i dream
Need to clean out my closet
But take another look
Just a glance
Doubled down on a second chance
Ride or die for the rest of our lives
So wrap your hands around my throat
And swear you’ll never let me go.

A Cure For Wellness

Skip to false intentions
Lying through perfect teeth
Awfully underrated
Wouldn’t you like to think
Keep it simple
Practice what you preach
Rinse, repeat
Scared to death of something
That’s just slightly out of reach
Thought you knew me better
But you didn’t
I hate to disappoint with
Poor decisions
Made in retrospect
I bet you never would have guessed
This end
So love or leave
These are my two choices
A whisper war to drown out all the noises
Play russian roulette
Your gun is loaded, kill me dead
Don’t pretend
The evidence was only in your head
Caught red handed
I’ve got nothing
I’m out of lines
Underestimated the way that this
Would feel inside
Aware of the consequence
Still don’t really give a shit
This might be forward
But i’m fresh out of forgiveness
Thought you knew me better
But you didn’t
I hate to disappoint with
Poor decisions
Made it retrospect
I bet you never would have guessed
This end
So love or leave
These are my two choices
A whisper war to drown out all the noises
Play russian roulette
Your gun is loaded, kill me dead
Don’t pretend
The evidence was only in your head.

Hooky

Making love before
You have to leave for work
This early morning sex is
Gonna make you late
So call me when you get there
Tell me you made it safe
And I’ll be right here smelling
Like your skin all day
What’s the chance you play hookie
And stay right here with me
I’ll take my time
Spinning around the clock with you
I can’t deny
I’d rather spend our afternoon
Sleeping in
With nowhere to be
Wasting daylight
Let’s lay in this bed all day baby
Kissing in the kitchen
You taste like honey, love
Arms are wrapped around your waist
You crack a smile
Say you wanna shower
Now we’re both naked
Thank god our hot water
Lasts for a good while
I’ll take my time
Spinning around the clock with you
I can’t deny
I’d rather spend our afternoon
Sleeping in
With nowhere to be
Wasting daylight
Let’s lay in this bed all day baby.

LiarLiar

I’m feeling like a stranger in my own head
Unrecognizing the symptoms of timing
and patterns that I should have read
Six days into November
I’m so overwhelmed
Can’t get out of the bed and I’m back on my meds
What’s wrong with me
Not this again
When will I accept that the sickness in me is treatable?
All I have to do is put in the work and take the pills
Sounds so easy but I’m tired
Of all the things they call me, on paper I’m manic depressive
Waiting for my upswing, the low this time is quite impressive
Faking me is easy
Cause I’m a good liar
I don’t think it count if I only left the house for smokes
I should eat soon but I’m all out of food
Wasted all of my money, I’m broke
But we could get high enough to convince ourselves
That we are more that just what they tell us we are
We are more than just two empty shells
When will I accept that the sickness in me is treatable?
All I have to do is put in the work and take the pills
Sounds so easy but I’m tired
Of all the things they call me, on paper I’m manic depressive
Waiting for my upswing, the low this time is quite impressive
Faking me is easy
Cause I’m a good liar.

Dull Boy

There’s a chance of rain
This coming Saturday
But I got this six pack in my car
If you wanna go anyway
Heard you got a new tattoo
That’s got nothing to do with you
It’s a lyric from the band that you met last week
So I guess it’s cool
Another round of drinks
They think my ID’s fake
But we all got in with no problems
It was almost more than I could take
Got my suitcase back home
One day I’ll pack it and I’ll hit the road
See all there is to see
Wanna come with me
Bring some records and we’ll go
All work no play
Jack’s a dull boy every day
Watching his life slip away
But my friends and me
Gave it all up for a maybe
I think you could do the same
Get a nine to five
That’s how you’ll survive
Sophisticated, overrated
Perfect in their eyes
But we sold our souls
For rock and roll
All night drives and staying half high
And always being broke
All work no play
Jack’s a dull boy every day
Watching his life slip away
But my friends and me
Gave it all up for a maybe
I think you could do the same
The last four years have kicked my ass
Trying to balance my band with class
Paying bills and making paychecks last
But there’s something to be said
For singing these songs with my friends
Wall to wall in a basement
All work no play
Jack’s a dull boy every day
Watching his life slip away
But my friends and me
Gave it all up for a maybe
I think you could do the same
So do you want to scream your lungs out
In a parking lot
Fall asleep on hardwood floors
Hang out and smoke on your rooftop
We could even get a bit too sentimental
Like how I’ll never run out of reasons to
Spend my time with you.

Background Noise
03:30
|

I know now what I should have said
Cause it plays over and over and over
In the back of my head
Accept the condition
I don’t have a choice
So for now it’s always background noise
No, it’s not about me
But do it for my sake
Just need the closure
To spare me some heartache
Say you’ll be alright
Say you’ll be okay
I know now what I should have done
Cause I beat myself up about it
Count down from one hundred to one
Take a deep breath in
Or lay on the floor
So for now don’t expect anything more
No, it’s not about me
But do it for my sake
Just need the closure
To spare me some heartache
Say you’ll be alright
Say you’ll be okay
You can take it out on me
I know who you are underneath
We can carry all this weight together
Can you see the light
At the end on the other side
By the time you hear this song
Things will be better
No, it’s not about me
But do it for my sake
Just need the closure
To spare me some heartache
No, it’s not about me
But do it for my sake
Just need the closure
To spare me some heartache
Say you’ll be alright
Say you’ll be okay
Say you’ll be okay.

After School Special
03:02

I don’t like parties
Unless it’s Halloween
Dress up like someone else
Someone that isn’t me
Watch me digress
To a familiar place
If it works it works
So why risk changing up the pace
I’ve gotten so good
At letting myself down
That when things are well and I’m feeling fine
It kinda freaks me out
I know just what to say
Know just how much to give
If I come too clean will it fit the narrative
All I do lately is hang around
Make plans just to cancel them
And stay at the house
Chill in the basement
Watch old DVDs
Play Nintendo 64 until my fingers bleed
And on the drive home
I can’t help but think about
How I wouldn’t change a single thing
About the here and now
Pull up to the stoplight
And I watch time freeze
Hope I remember this when my hair’s gray
And my knees are weak
Strike match now baby
Let’s burn it down
Wash all the blood off of our hands
As we escape the crowd
And I’ve been thinking maybe
I want more than this
Does it scare you to think
There’s more than lust there
When we kiss
My head’s so hazy
I built walls around myself
It’s toxic, if it’s lost
Can it still be found
So take me somewhere
Where we can be alone
Lock all the doors and
Unplug all the phones
The timing could not be worse
Of that I’m well aware
But your lips have a way of reminding me
That good things come in pairs
So take your time with me
I swear I’ll do my best
Bury all my insecurities
Inside your neck
If I could breathe you in
For just one more second
I’ll remember why i always try
To try and try again
Roll over to face you
And I watch time freeze
Know I’ll remember this when my hair’s gray
And my knees are weak.

April Is For Fools
03:40
|

Raise a glass to my regrets
Take me back to when we met
Take this as a compliment
We will fake our own deaths and forget
I know it’s not up to you
So just drown me in solitude
Wake me up when it’s all better
Tell me that we will be together
Call me out on my confusion
Magnify my dissolution
Separate me from my mistakes
Retrace my steps back to that day
But you'll never hear your favorite band’s final album
Or the story of how we travelled to Virginia and got tattoos for you
I hope you hear me every single time I say your name
And I'll tell my kids about you
This living room feels like September
Close my eyes and I remember
Afternoons in that garage
Glasses, crewneck, shaved haircut
I know that it’s been two years
So I'll just have another beer
This box full of your possessions
Is the root of my depression
But it’s okay because I forgive you
Even after all you put me through
I just miss you
But you'll never hear your favorite band’s final album
Or the story of how we travelled to Virginia and got tattoos for you
I hope you hear me every single time I say your name
And I'll tell my kids about you.

You’ve been sleeping on your side
With your back to me at night
I’ve noticed these last few weeks
I just haven’t said anything
But it’s clear
More than obvious to me
That we’re expiring
I never know what you want
It looks like I’m all out of luck
You say it’s over
You’re calling it quits
You’re moving out
Packed up all your shit
You’re leaving now
And not thinking twice about it
But jokes on you
Cause I know that this is a bluff
You want me to beg
But I’ve had enough
Catch ya on flip side
Girl I’m done
So what do you want me to say
When we fight like this every day
I’ve heard it all before
Every time you walk out the door
So don’t act like this is the first time
You’ve played games with my mind
I’m tired of losing sleep
Wondering if you’re mine to keep
You say it’s over
You’re calling it quits
You’re moving out
Packed up all your shit
You’re leaving now
And not thinking twice about it
But jokes on you
Cause I know that this is a bluff
You want me to beg
But I’ve had enough
Catch ya on flip side
Girl I’m done
With all the ways you fucked me over
Wore me out broke me down
Made me lose my composure
What a price to pay for time lost
And I can’t afford how much it costs.

Black Picket Fence
04:39

I’m so sorry that your will has been broken
We fell asleep with the windows open
Cause keeping this apartment cool
Is expensive
Some day our lives will be admired
But I know right now
Your body is tired
From working every day to barely even make
Enough to pay the bills
One day at a time now honey
And I wish that we had more money
To take some weight off of your shoulders
When we’re older I swear
We’ll have it made
I wanna give you a picket fence and a
Nice house to raise our kids and a
Piece of mind to relieve your stress
But all you ever ask for is my best
Take a gamble on a brand new city
And pray to god that things will be less shitty
Said to goodbye to all our friends and family
But winter’s coming and we love cold weather
Got decent jobs and things are getting better
Who knew twenty-three
Would demand so much from me
It’s exhausting
One day at a time now honey
And I wish that we had more money
To take some weight off of your shoulders
When we’re older I swear
We’ll have it made
I wanna give you a picket fence and a
Nice house to raise our kids and a
Piece of mind to relieve your stress
But all you ever ask for is my best
I’ll be yours til everything goes dark
They’ll bury us together if they’re smart
Bodies intertwined like ancient art
Cause we’ve never slept six feet apart.
