I get the sense I'm gonna die in this town Not the sense I'm gonna stay here, The sense it's gonna kill me soon. If I stay any longer I really can't promise you It won't. It's just I've had a few too many close calls A few that I could have avoided And a few that I would argue weren't my fault. It happens every month or so. And I wanna live to feel regret For all the things I could have done but that Haven't happened yet I wanna feel a mid-life crisis Past the age of 26 I wanna know what it feels like To know whether I wanna have a kid. But I'm not so sure I could do it. If I chose to stick around It's just there's something sort of scary 'bout this town. Oooooo - oooooo - oooooooo There's something murking in the water here I swear How else could you explain everyone's trepidation? We wait until we sense a last breath And I wish someone had told me this before I wish that I had known when I was younger That I'd spend so much time Regretting the things I never did So here's to you, I resent the fact That I had to get drunk just to say it Here's to all I never had Here's to all my long lost friends Oooooo - oooooo - ooooooo

Idleness 02:16
Running out of energy you want to cry and yell, Well the bravest guy I knew he only relied on himself. Everybody has their very own personal hell, And the bravest thing I ever saw him do was ask for help. I'm good at letting problems pile up for way too long, And I'm good at faking it and pretending I'm pretty strong. And I'm not so bad at turning dark thoughts into song, But I'm not good at admitting that I'm wrong. But I'm not good at admitting that I'm wrong. I don't believe that Hell's a place you go to when you're dead, I more think that it's a place you sometimes visit in your head. And I base my acts around the fact that Heaven don't exist, I more think that it's the people that you surround yourself with. And I think that it's a product of chosen environment, And the rewards based on effort that you put in. Idleness Is no good way to live. I still struggle with this. Cause I found out it's incredibly addictive Cause I found out it's incredibly addictive Cause I found out it's incredibly addictive And by now I've probably lost a few years To it.

This road's worth taking This road's worth taking I think I'm alright again This ain't the end. This road's worth taking This road's worth taking I think I'm alright again But I lost a friend. The stoplight that stuck us on this road Isn't changing soon come on let's just go I think that it's safe to pass But there's cops on this street Oh they're everywhere, watch your ass! Me and all my best friends we know The feeling of waiting for this store to close Watching the time go pass It's time to lock up, I need a new job and fast! How's about we talk it out friend, Can you get it started, 'cause I'm bad at that I pray that this night won't end 'Cause tonight I've got fire that I didn't wake up with! This life's worth living This life's worth living I think I'm alright again Tonight at least I guess.

I'm always wanting what I don't have I'm always wanting what I can't handle Maybe it's time for me to step back Maybe it's time for me to admit That I'm a fucking coward I'm a procrastinator I'm full of indecision I'm too quick to give up on things. Maybe I'm just a little hard on myself Maybe I struck a chord with somebody else Maybe I'm speaking in extremes too much And I could never find the truth using language like this It's just like when I'm drunk and confident Or like when I'm not drunk enough and I feel depressed. I tried to be self aware but somehow that just led me way too far Astray And tried to act differently but always end up doing the same things. So here's to anyone who feels the same Here's to anyone who feels something inside themselves That says I'm not good enough How can I become a better person? I swear to you we're getting there We only got to take it day by day I tried to be self aware but somehow that just led me way too far Astray And tried to act differently but always end up doing the same things.

Past Lives 03:32
You're sick like everybody's past life And you think you're alone You're sick like everybody's last night And you sound so set in stone So set in stone. Well, You're sick like everybody's past life You're sick like everybody's last night I know You're not set in stone You're not set in stone Six months is nothing when it feels right We've been through nothing in our own right I know We're not set in stone We're not set in stone So pick it off I still don't believe what I heard Half of those words Were barely thought out You're sick like everybody's past life You're sick like everybody's last night I know You're not set in stone You're not set in stone You're sick like everybody's past life You're sick like everybody's last night I know You're not set in stone You're not set in stone

We've got a million reasons why we'd stick n poke ourselves Tattoos stay with you forever, don't find anybody else So let's leave a lasting image of what all of us here felt Because I've been a part of something and I know I don't want out Your impact always lives here in the beating of my heart And the cigarette addiction that you made me want to start They can kill us both together even if we're far apart Like when we were both teenagers and we used to split just one Waoaoaoaoaoao, my heart is beating fast and I know that you're in need of something You have always been there through my constant misdirection I've always relied on you. I wanna pay it back too I'm so full of selfish desire when I am alone. But you set me on fire. The words that you said, I think over and over again
