Next stop anxiety

the hell is this about? what did I get myself into now
one stupid slip of the tongue, wrong words said and I look to run
put myself in stat es I dread, are those stares real or in my head
is this the day they let me know, that I’ve always been a joke
These thoughts take over tonight, just hope I get out alright, all I know is this is fucked
Goddamn it, please just let me sleep, this is a pace that I can’t keep,
always tired but wide awake, my vision blurs and my world shakes
I’ll try to quiet my brain, it just goes over the same refrain
worry bout things outta my control, all of this is taking its tool
These thoughts take over tonight, just hope I get out alright, all I know is this is fucked
All these thoughts swarm my head, of my past, things I did or said
or it’s the day to day, have I grown at all or stayed the same
am I someone that makes you proud, or have I always let you down
these are the thoughts that never cease, push me away from my peace
None of this makes any sense, amongst friends, so why am I so tense?
ight the urge to run out the door, keep it together one minute more
ignore these knots in my gut, fake a smile so nothing seems up
fuck it, just give me all the drinks, my brain is tired and I don’t wanna think
These thoughts take over tonight, just hope I get out alright, all i know is this is fucked

One for the Road

That’s it! I’m leaving, I can’t take no more, I gotta run away,
I’ll throw my shit in the trunk and I’ll step on the gas, and I’ll find some where else to be
because I don’t need no one, and I don’t need a plan, I just wanna be alone
so I’ll quit this damn job and I’ll live off the land, and I’ll call the road my home
It Sounds so right as I lay in bed, but I’ll probably drink this beer instead
I’m taking one for the road
That’s it, I’m leaving, I can’t take no more, I gotta get away
I’ll throw my shit in the trunk and I’ll step on the gas, and I’ll find somewhere else to stay
Because I don’t need no one and I don’t need a plan, I just want to be alone
So I’ll quit my damn job and I’ll live off the land, and I’ll call the road my home
It sounds so right as I lay in bed, but I’ll probably drink this whiskey instead,
I’m taking one for the road

I’m gonna Die alone, Alone and miserable, And there’s nothing left to say in the end
It’s been this way for years, a daily grind to drown my fears, of there not being anything new around the bend
Night and day, the same routine, distract myself from internal screams, try to focus on the things that seem to be alright
Sometimes I’ll push away the negative thoughts and go about my day, but they return when I sleep and keep me up at night
Melodramatic in almost every single way, another sad asshole, another sad cliché
That was a joke before, everything is totally fine, I’m out with friends all the time, and partying every night
I’m not at all depressed, I’m not totally dead inside, this is not a mask I wear to make to seem alright
Melodramatic in almost every single way, another said asshole, another sad cliché

Follow Me
02:39

All at once, all together, come and see me choke on my tether,
That only let’s me get so far, before I create one more disaster
Out of anything good that comes my way, before too long, It all goes wrong,
before you can blink, it’s all over, my tendency to fuck myself over!
Follow me down, for one more round, gather around, see how I fuck up this one, follow me down
Tonight, just an urge that I can’t help feeding, Anytime you get too close to me
inevitably, I’ll do the wrong thing
Self sabotaging relationships, it’s so cliché, it’s fucking textbook,
Before you can blink, it’s all over, my tendency to fuck myself over!

When I was a kid, I couldn’t find my way, had a chip on my shoulder, I was angry everyday
And it took a little while, but I finally found my tribe, homies til the end, we ain’t never gonna die
Played a bunch of shows, and we drank to many too beers, Funhouse on a Tuesday, man we did that shit for years, Rain city till the end
Where did the time go?
Now we’re grown up and life moves fast, Hold onto the good times, because they really don’t last
Some still standing, and some have gone, to those that we have lost, we dedicate this song,
Seattle Rock-n-roll!
Rain City Forever!
Where did the time go?
We walk this line together
through any storm and any weather
we walk this line together
Rain City Forever!
Where did the time go?

Cokes On Sunday

This room is so empty, my lungs are so heavy, my heart it hurts
I filled it with plenty of all of our memories, but it won’t work
and I lay on the ground, and I stare at the ceiling,
and I think to myself, this is bad, this is bad
You don’t understand
I’m dying
This room is so empty, my lungs are so heavy, my heart is hurts
I filled it with plenty of all of our memories, but it’s too late
And I lay on the ground, and I stare at the ceiling,
and I think to myself, this is bad, this is bad
You don’t understand
I’m dying

First World Problems

The corner of the bar is calling me home tonight
Like it has a hundred times before
This drink is telling me that everything is going to be alright
At least for a few hours more
When drinking alone becomes like your best friend, well you know I’ve made a few wrong turns
The girl that you think about is the one you’ve lost, well you know I’ll never learn
It’s over-rated, it’s so cliché, I never thought that I would be that asshole
Who’s always whining, who’s always crying, into a shot of whiskey
I should just shut the fuck up, not be miserable all my life
like some prick in the summer of ‘69
crying for what’s he’s lost, not what he’s got
no, I’ll change things in my life
My bones are weary from these long work weeks, but these bills don’t pay themselves
The drama between friends never seems to cease, caught in the middle of he said/she said hell
It’s over-rated, it’s so cliché, I never thought that I would be that asshole
Who’s always whining, who’s always crying, into a shot of whiskey
I should just shut the fuck up, not be miserable all my life
Like some prick in the summer of ‘69
Crying for what he’s lost, not what he’s got
No, I’ll change things in my life

It’s just some days I don’t want to hear the sound of your voice
You’re telling me the same thing I’ve already heard before
It’s like you’re never going learn from your mistakes
And this shit will play out the same way, day after day
It’s like this story is never gonna change
A new day is just another tragedy
A negative outlook is the only way you see
You top us all with those wounds that you preserve
Keep them raw so we’ll see right down to the nerve
It’s like the bullshit is never gonna end

I’ve been trying not drink, I went from cigarettes to kale
I’m so stoned it’s hard to think, I text i’ll go but I just bail
Don’t you wish that you could be aware, when you’re living in the good old days
oh, these nights, they might just up and fucking kill me, the last three years have been such crazy days
and It never gets easier to grow, and it never gets easier to say goodbye
and I wish that I could go back in time, but we just keep moving on
We just keep moving on
Grow a thicker fucking skin, every day that brings you down
and we’re stuck here and we’re spinning in it, round and round
and I wish I could take back every word that broke your heart
and I wish we could tattoo the pain, I wish we could restart
Don’t you wish that you could be aware, when you’re living in the good old days
Oh these nights they might just up and fucking kill me, the last three years have been such crazy days
and it never gets easier to grow, and it never gets easier to say goodbye
And I wish I could go back in time, but we just keep moving on
We just keep moving on

Slop Buckets

This year has been the worst in memory, so many friends were taken before their time, cut down in their prime
This situation is fucked, but I’m glad that, we could be here, all together, for one another
Getting each other through this tragedy
Picking each other up under this gravity
These streets filled with your melodies, these drinks we take in your name
I wanted you to know that we finished what we started, in your honor, and it was amazing
I hope you know that the weirdness and the love that you radiated, still goes strong in all of us
These slop buckets overflowing always
Your face and memory, forever burned in my heart!

It’s going down, feel it all around, this might be the best year of our lives
If we can, grab these reigns, and light fires under our ass
I know, there’s been hard times, let’s leave it in the past
We are, all still, alive, renew and reinvigorate
Stand tall, stand proud, always, showing off battle scars
and when, the time, arrives, we will sacrifice
All that we have, we’ll do this all for the good times
that we hope to have, may they never end
I swear sometimes, I’ve never felt, so god damned content in my life
Than I do, hear right now, with friends screaming these words
Dive bars, small rooms, big crowds, god damn I love this scene
Loud amps, voices swelling, wouldn’t want to be anywhere but here
The blood, the sweat, the love, that goes into these things
And when, the time, arrives, we will sacrifice
All that we have, we’ll do this allf or the good times
That we hope to have, may they never end
