You're the brother that I never had You're just another, can it really be so bad? And I know that you will probably bite But I won't go out without a light

Post-Jock 02:41
I remember when I only thought 'bout girls Working out, drinking shakes, doing hops and curls I remember when I wouldn't eat my greens And I remember beating off to magazines Cracks in the mirror from rough nights I gotta watch my mouth, don't want to pick a fight Sometimes you've just gotta sweat it out Yell "fuck it", get loose, bare-knuckle bout Well there's no need to cross my t's Cuz I'm the only one I've got to please At least it seems to me Well there's no need to cross your t's Cuz you're the only one you've got to please Post-Jock

Jasper 04:59
I was somewhere on vacation And the sky was looking cool When I saw a green dalmatian Eating lunch aside the pool It's hard to tell if you're okay When no one tells you what to do or say I stumbled with frustration While wrestling with drool My mind in contemplation While dancing with a stool It's hard to tell if you're okay When no one tells you what to do or say But it's a drag to know exactly where you'll go I get so uptight when I analyze my life What should I do to keep from walking straight into another Dismantled situation From a distant, unknown rule That inspired a blue-chip nation To think killing trees is cruel And build armies over schools And create two groups of fools

How much is enough? Cuz tomorrow's grass is green as fuck It's called persistence, it isn't luck If you're complacent, you're a sitting duck So tell me how much is enough to be happy

Lemon Tundra 04:58
The Lemon Tundra, discreet yet cold The Lemon Tundra, when it soothes the soul It takes control of you like gum on the bottom of your shoe Like gum on the bottom of your shoe Well it latches like a leach Yet it smiles like a peach's reflection in a spoon Well it molds to you like clay, taking note of every word you say To play you, as if your heart were like a game Well I'm not naive anymore I know you, and I'm leaving you behind the door that you bore The Lemon Tundra, discreet yet cold The Lemon Tundra, when it soothes the soul It takes control of you like gum on the bottom of your shoe Like gum on the bottom of your shoe Well it wears many different masks Constantly leading you to ask, "What's your true identity?" Well I'm stuck in my ways, so she knew which face to play Oh, Lemon Tundra, you're exactly what I hate Well I'm not naive anymore I know you, and I'm leaving you behind the door that you bore Well she'll pull on you like the moon Beware Lemon Tundra Take care venom conundrum Cuz I won't be seeing you soon *Larry Sheridan on bass, Alex Woodworth on lead guitar. Thanks to Shay Alwan and Arnav Chevula for being a part of the refining of this tune*

Power 05:02
Where did all my power go? I don't know. I wanna go home. And how did all these flowers grow? I feel old. And I wanna go home. Can you really look me in the eye And tell me everything is alright What if I just told you "no"? I won't go. I wanna stay home. Not that I want to be alone But I feel cold. And I wanna go home. Can you really look me in the eye And tell me that you're sleeping just fine You and I knew a better life Didn't have to worry 'bout no orange man So before we die, let's wage a fight These fucking lefties need to understand what's right You can't touch my power tonight

Why Not You 03:10
You're addicted to your own personal evolution But you're confused You've got no job, and you can't wait to escape So many excuses for your life "I was waiting on him" "We were up all night" "But when I find the time, to gather up my pride and make it bonafide, you'll aspire to be like me" Jesus found god Why Not You Your brother rides the rod Why Not You Your hero hung himself Why Not You Your family's full of wealth Why Not You If uncle ed's in Belgium Why Not You If Sheron goes on long runs Why Not You If Gramma donates her blood Why Not You

Green Flowers in the summertime Like resurrecting from a dream Bent bottle caps and moonshine Revealing something so obscene Smooth sugar heals ripe limes Fresh fingers clean dirty screens Melodic mountains and malignant mimes Find your role in the machine Lethargic lasers juxtaposed Trembling targets, no one knows Lethargic lasers juxtaposed Peaks and valleys, so life goes

Barcelona 03:06
I was on a wooden bench in Barcelona, collecting my thoughts. When a man asked me for a Euro: "Got any money, kid?" "Me puedes dar un poco dinero" I panicked, and told him I didn't have anything (which was half true). I only had dollars, but I had plenty of money on me. Before this man approached me, I was sitting there thinking about money, and how I didn't ever want to be a dapper schmuck--there seemed to be a lot of those walking out of the building that I was sitting in front of. "Margaret, you look very executive today" I still worry though...that, eventually, I'll have to become something I detest (I am who I never wanted to be). But, I suppose no one's forcing me to do anything I don't want to, but it still irks me. There are no rules, just suggestions. So there I was--new country, with a new tongue. "Me dice tus sentimientos" But more of the same: Carbon copy human beings--at least on the surface. Mass produced flesh and blood. Interchangeable personality. Maybe it's up to me to look beyond the eye-liner and the five-hundred dollar frames and find the individual. How many hundred dollars are my frames? On a small scale, I feel much less judgmental (hey, that was judgmental). But when there are so many, everyone seems to blend into one, homogenous human that's really good at taking order. "Right away, Sir!" But I want to live free (so millenial) doing as I please. No cubicle. No dress code. I just want to be surrounded by those who relentlessly pursue the expression of the emotion within them. "Welcome to the echo chamber" I feel I am constantly knowing exactly what I want to do, but not being entirely sure about how to go about it. Just gotta take today today, and tomorrow tomorrow And, as always, roll with the punches.

Smile 06:21
Been in my room for awhile Suburban white boy with taste and time And I don't want to have to work Unless it requires a guitar A robot friend once told me about my propensity for feeling down Neurotic and unfolding, I wondered how I'd ever turn it around But I read a book, my homie, and I began to feel unbound And now I can't help but see: It takes a smile to erase a frown It takes a smile to erase a frown Don't want to die from mice and ox syndrome Just get me high on my sand docks in rome
