I can't remember a goddamn thing
Lyrics, names & places I've been
Is it the short attention span?
Or is it the pills i take to start my day?
C'est la vie sweet memories
The short, and long, and in-between
C'est la vie, what's left of me?
Misplaced chords, conversations & faces
Prescribed handfuls of mind erasers
Casting shadows on black walls
Fuck, I forgot to sing... the sing-along
Remind me. Rewind me.
To all the times we had.
Design me. Define me.
I'm built by circumstance.

Life

Find yourself along in an empty house
Skipping meals, sinking into a lonely couch
It's just you a remote & re-run TV
The leak in your ceiling starting caving in
All your fears have been realized
Take a train to your job, you're in bed by 9
You gave up your hobbies months ago
Put yourself under a microscope
It's all magnified, it's all elevated
See myself getting fat & lazy
Track marks in these carpets tell no lie
What a life. You call this life?
It's a strife and i'm to blame
What a god damn mess i've made
What a life. What a joke.
Can't change the channel, no remote
This is my reality
All your fears have been realized
Take a train to your job, you're in bed by 9
You gave up your hobbies years ago
and put yourself under a microscope

Explosions in This Guy

Painted myself in the corner
Might as well paint myself pretty
So if I self destruct, are you coming with me?
I know things haven't changed at all
As long as I'm alive, the town is painted red
So dig a deeper grave and jump right in
Don't burn out on me now
Light the fuse & run, 5.4.3.2.1
Pardon me while I explode
I self destruct

Loner
02:19

So far from everything I know
But the bottle is only so deep
So how low can I go
It’s a race to the bottom of 12oz of hope
And all I’ve got is this beer that I hold
So I choke, yeah I choke
Just a weirdo in the corner
And there’s no one here for me
A lonely tree within a forest,
Just the splinters and a carcass
My leaves are all dying
Firewood to be burned
Should have known I’d be a loner,
Just a boat without a motor
This bottle is mine
Empty as defined
So raise a glass to me
Free & Lonely
Walk from everything I know
But the rope is only so long
So how far can I fall
It's a race to the bottom of a Jack & coke
Sink to the bottom with my anchor in tow
So I choke, Yeah I choke

Collateral
03:01

Are you keeping tabs?
Are you keeping count?
Is it coming from your heart[beat]?
because I have my doubts.
What'd you call it a charity? Feels collateral
You've got those claws in me. Yeah, they're grabbing hold
Grab on like a leech. Yeah, it's getting old
But you've got indemnity, so I'll be the host
Are we settled up?
Is it even score?
Are you looking for something more?
It's collateral
