Drinking at a house show can feel childish and embarrassing

With people glaring because despite what the advertisements said:

Malt liquor doesn’t make you young. On a fancy thing into the future

Thumbing through a raincloud of reminders.

And “it’s a death trap” so I wanna get smashed before we get an inch off the ground.

I’m not so sure you want me around. But we stepped outside and I realize it’s been a while

Since I’ve seen those eyes.

And it felt so nice to see you smile. Breathe in deep and debride your life

Stale regrets are a waste of time

Only one thing remains secure

That we all get old together

And we all get old forever. Yeah, I’ve got dreams.

Big stupid dreams.

Dumb fucking dreams.

But Little Chris is getting married Saturday.

I need to get unstuck on the things I won’t achieve.

I need to let it go and just Breathe in deep and debride my life

Stale regrets are a waste of time

Only one thing remains for sure

That we all get old together

and we all get old forever

Yeah we all get old together

and we all get old forever. We had the time so we watched the ocean for a while.

And it felt alright.

Was it kind of nice to see me smile? YOU, IN WEIRD CITIES Philip’s living up in Chicago.

Matty’s working hard in Ohio.

Fitzy and Chris are very far away.

Sean, Ian and Rick are in Michigan

And we try to see each other whenever we can

But there’s only so many days that we can stay. I’m always getting high

When no one is around

‘Cause nothing makes me feel

Anything’s worthwhile

Nothing makes me happy

I’m like a bratty child

Nothing makes me laugh

Nothing makes me smile Some of my friends are good Americans.

How can they empathize with the trouble that I’m in?

I don’t have to wake up, I don’t have to feed a kid

And it’s got to the point where I’m not sure if that’s something I wanted Instead of getting high

When no one is around

‘Cause nothing makes me feel

Anything’s worthwhile

Nothing makes me happy

I’m like a shitty child

Nothing makes me laugh

Nothing makes me smile But when I listen to your records

I don’t need to look at pictures

It’s like I’m hanging out with you in weird cities

Getting lost, and pretending

That we’ll never go back

We’ll never go back You, laughing with me

getting lost in weird cities

‘cause we’ll never go back

We’ll never go back To always getting high

When no one is around

‘Cause nothing makes me feel

Anything’s worthwhile

Nothing makes me happy

I’m like a shitty child

Nothing makes me laugh

Nothing makes me smile But when I listen to your records it’s like I’m hanging out with you.

When I listen to your records it’s like I’m hanging out with you.

When I listen to your tunes it’s like I’m there with you.

I wanna hang out with you. NOVELTY SWEATER Stuck in a room, clutched to an aching womb.

My mind like a trap.

In the same state I was in ‘88.

Lept up, falling back. I’ve been daydreaming under a novelty sweater

Stinking of fear. Starting again, starting it all again. leapt

My life like a trap. I’ve been daydreaming under a novelty sweater

Stinking of fear. I’ve been accusing self-medication

For all of my overcompensation

For all of these faults that no one would notice

If I could shut my mouth. I’ve been daydreaming under a novelty sweater, oh oh oh oh. NAUSEA Held in a bong hit, sitting in a

Hot tub in south Wisconsin. I feel

amazing when I’m all alone

switching between porn and Robocop Turned off my cellphone, drank a bottle

of wine and read a Cometbus and

Passed out naked, shriveling, stumbled

To bed in a fucked up sleepwalk I got so tired of discussing my future

I’ve started avoiding the people I love

Evenings of silence and mornings of nausea. I read the worst thing ever in a bathrobe of off-white terricloth,

Translated by technology from your voice extremely inaccurately. I got so tired of discussing my future

I’ve started avoiding the people I love

Evenings of silence and mornings of nausea

Shake and sweat and I can’t throw up.

I got so tired of discussing my future

That I walk through my life like I’m the only one

With evenings of silence and mornings of nausea

Shake and sweat and I can’t throw up. Cleaned up the empty bottles.

Let the smoke out through chilly windows.

I used the stationary bike

I watched the end of The Price Is Right

Ordered an egg-white sandwich and I

Drove south through mid-day traffic and I

Called up some folks I truly love and

Hung up after they said hello. I got so tired of discussing my future

I’ve started avoiding the people I love

Evenings of silence and mornings of nausea

Shake and sweat and I can’t throw up.

I got so tired of discussing my future

That I walk through my life like I’m the only one

With evenings of silence and mornings of nausea. BEERS AGAIN ALONE Spent the whole weekend in bed

Summoning all of the garbage within

To skate figure eights in my head

Shit-smearing the ice ‘til I’d rather be dead. So don’t wait for me

You’re better

You’re fine when I’m alone. The loneliness starts around five

I know they’re all heading out to the dives

To sprinkle some red in their eyes

Everyone’s there

They’re all having great times. So don’t wait for me

You’re better

You’re fine when I’m alone. So I wait a few hours

For someone I love to come home

To stay awake for three hours at most

Then I’m drinking beers again alone, all alone

Yeah I’m drinking beers again alone. So don’t wait for me

You’re better

You’re fine when I’m alone.

I can’t wait forever

So I’m drinking beers again alone, all alone.

Yeah, I’m drinking beers again alone. I’M SERIOUS, I’M SORRY I didn’t know that he got in a car crash

We could have been friends, could have got married

Could have had grandkids, sent them to college

Or at least attended each other’s weddings. I didn’t know that you stayed home for hours

Calling his parents asking for answers

Skipping your prom night, crying and praying

Up to a God that you never believed in. Meghan held your body

While you were sobbing at the party

And I couldn’t leave the kitchen

I ingested too much poison. I wanted to tell you I know how it feels when

The people you love just start disappearing

Ashamed that you took their presence for granted

But I didn’t want to seem condescending I didn’t know that you’d relive the moment

The doctor came out with a frown and a clipboard

And you wandered home with no ride feeling stupid

That you thought that this was a regular visit Meghan held your body

While you were sobbing at the party

And I couldn’t help from staring

And creating extra tension

Watching Meghan hold your body

While you were sobbing at the party

And I couldn’t leave the kitchen

I ingested too much poison. Were you supposed to not go to college?

Stay in your mom’s house on the computer

googling grief cures, talking to no one

Waiting for life to start feeling better?

Waiting for pain to not be a constant?

Waiting to feel like anyone’s honest?

Waiting for me to stop being sarcastic

Because I can’t accept (because I can’t accept)

Because I can’t accept all the bad things that happen. Oh, I swear I’m sorry

That I saw you at the party

That I stood there saying nothing

While you wept before your new friends

Oh, I’m serious, I’m sorry

Oh, I’m serious, I’m sorry HEY ALLISON! She’s on the western side looking at the Jersey skyline.

She’s in a real bad mood so she couldn’t write back to you.

She’s had the longest day and it’s a gridlocked highway.

She’s in a real bad mood so she couldn’t write back to you. “Hey Allison! This city’s a total disaster without you around.” You spent the days inside avoiding social landmines

That poke at every bruise.

Is she gonna write back to you?

You’re an exhausted kid of fractured relationships.

You wanna crush that gloom.

Is she gonna write back to you? “Hey Allison! This sudden detachment from friendship is making me ache.” POLAR BEAR OR AFRICA As I desaturate the fertile greens, I wanna tell you I

Don’t perpetuate these western schemes but I can’t stop laughing at

The shortsightedness of childhood dreams where we’re all young astronauts.

The truth is it sucks being young and in love.

When you’re old you’re just bummed that you’ll never be happy enough. Swim in waterfalls while parents sleep; emerge with spider bites.

Fearlessly exploring new countries, I crashed my motorbike.

I wanted to outline the scar in tattoo ink.

It looked like a polar bear or Africa.

But the scar went away and my memories changed.

No, it wouldn’t be great to be back in 1998. I’ve been treating my body.

Like I never worry that I’m gonna die

Because you would forgive me.

I’ve been treating my body.

Like I, Like I’m worried

That I’m gonna die and you’re gonna forget my name. So what do we get for the friends we’ve met and the ones we love at home?

Yeah, what do we get for the friends we’ve met and the one we’ve left alone? We’re gonna give ‘em a trip to the hospital.

We’re gonna give ‘em the bill for the funeral.

We’re gonna give ‘em the debt from our student loans.

We’re gonna give ‘em what’s left of the shit we owned. I’ve been treating my body.

Like I never worry that I’m gonna die

Because you would forgive me.

I’ve been treating my body.

Like I, Like I’m worried

That I’m gonna die and you’re gonna forget my name.

I’m gonna die and you’re gonna forget my name.

I’m gonna die and you’re gonna forget my name. So what do we get for the friends we’ve met and the ones we love at home?

Yeah, what do we get for the friends we’ve met and the one we’ve left alone? HALL OF FAME Staring down at your hands trying hard to react to

What they said, and they’re your friends but the words they escape you

If you can’t even speak how can anyone love you?

They’re waiting for you to fall, and take your place. Getting drunk all alone in a quiet hotel room.

You repeat all the most shameful things that you’ve been through.

It dawns on you, that it’s true, fucking nobody loves you.

They’re waiting for you to fall, and take your place.

They’re waiting for you to fall, and take your name out of the hall of fame, oh

They’re waiting for you to fall, and take your place. They’re waiting for you to fall, and take your place.

They’re waiting for you to fall, and take your name out of the hall of fame, oh

They’re waiting for you to fall, and take your name out of the hall of fame, oh

They’re waiting for you to fall, and take your place. ALL BLISSED OUT I’ve been trapped inside a sharp

Mental picture of your heart

Waiting for me to come home

But I can’t get home. Might as well be no one, no one. THE LOWS Cliche malaise in a dumb conversation

Predictable drama for 5 AM exits

Fridays they only pick up the recycling

So thank god it’s Monday ‘cause I’m useless garbage. I can relate

I’d throw me away

They discontinued my train

Now I can’t get home Trade a few beers for crashing on couches

And overstaying your welcome with your parents

They’re furrowing brows while they wonder what happened.

They’re so fucking bad hiding their disappointment. They can’t relate.

Why’d you do this to me?

Now they canceled my plane

I’m on the runway but I can’t get home. All of the things we collected and thought would remind us of the people we wanted to be

Pile up like bricks in a poorly made tote bag that’s doing its best not to burst at the seams

But sooner or later coffee mugs and magnets are gonna come crashing down onto the street

And you’ll stand there holding the tide from your eyes saying “Stop, wait for the good times ahead of me.

I can’t think that the best is in back of me.”

Clean up the shards of ceramic

Or leave them for someone who needs it. Yeah, stop, think good times are ahead of you.

Stop, think, good times are ahead of you.

This isn’t the end.

We’ll always be friends.

And we’ll smile like we’re falling in love when I see you again. DARKNESS RECORDS Burn my Mona Lisa

I would like another chance

To put stars in her eyes,

Fire pipes in the sky

And brass knuckles on her hands.

She can breathe

She can see

When you’re not watching. Throw away my letters

I would like another shot

To put a shine in your smile

Make your nights worthwhile

Like I’m with you when I’m not

I disappear and reappear.

I’m made of magic. Shred yr photo albums

They’re not gonna save anything.

Petty moments in a grave. Toss yr newborn baby.

He deserves a better path

Than an Ambien dream

Filled with Vicodin dreams

Predetermined to relapse

Spending weekends in the bath.

He can breathe through the cheeks of the tauntaun.
