Verse: You and me used to make shapes on the wall with the light of our phones Laying next to you always made me feel less alone Now we've aged and I hope that we're not growing apart Cause though those shapes were little they still feel like a big part Chorus: Of me, of you, of what we do Of who we are, I still remember what we lived for Verse: I would always drive you back to your apartment after we got out of school (YEH YEH YEH YEH) We’d watch a vhs of dinosaur and I’d fall asleep on you I know I still fall asleep too early almost all the time But hopefully you never leave because when I sleep you're on my mind Chorus: in my dreams, we're rich, we've got internet We're still who we are, but we never have to worry We watch anime, and eat food all day And never work, cause working is for suckers Bridge/Outro: (cool down build to big sf style end) I want this dream

Arkadelphia 03:10
Acapella Intro: Say what you wanna, take what you wanna it’s never gonna change a thing Verse: I think you belong with me I know i’ve got my flaws but i think that’s always been plain to see What do you think about me leaving? I know it’s not eveyones thing Bridge: But could it be yours? For just one second? You know i need this You know i need us Pre-Chorus: You can’t argue If i know i suck And that’s soo true But i never told you Chorus: I thought about leavin’ When we were arguing It’s always ‘bout nothin’ And i’m just soo damn scared You thought about leavin’ I could see it in your eyes And that’s just the problem Sometimes we’re soo much alike Chorus: I thought about leavin’ When we were arguing It’s always ‘bout nothin’ And i’m just soo damn scared You thought about leavin’ I could see it in your eyes And that’s just the problem Sometimes we’re soo alike Outro: We’re soo much alike x4

GOD KILLER 03:12
[I’d like to think when I die i’ll be remembered as good, but it doesn’t matter anyway Cause we’re here years later and people are forgetting your name Oooooo ooooooo *cue bass note and bell hit* Sometimes I pick my brain about why i can’t do anything, worth mentioning on a headstone There is no reason why the ones we love have to die, but i think it sucks we’ll never know Ooooooo ooooooo Bridge: When your friends accidentally die would you still like to credit a man in the sky For what happened to him, a part of a murderous gods plan to take away someone’s life ] Chorus: Well it’s been a few years and I just gotta say cheers because you did whatever you wanted when you were alive And I’m depressed just such a mess but this year im trying my best to keep my dreams alive I wish I could finally give in but I keep thinkin that things will get better before I die You can't be a man if you cry so what are you and what am I but some people who couldn't handle passing of time Bridge: I know where Where your friends go Where they go when they die They go in the In the ground to be forgotten over time So let’s have more kids so when the funeral ends we’ll have a little gleam of hope in our eye And get messed up when they finally grow up start to fuck pollute and then die Pollute and then die In the blink of eye While our world is ravaged By religious fanatics the US fights in the name of christ Whether they admit that or not And boy what i would give To tear down that fucking cross Replace blind human faith With realities cold hands Wake the masses up make them finally understand This is it I only dream now, my body’s free now and maybe somehow ill meet the ones I love beyond the grave

This country’s fucked in almost every way This planet sucks I’m tryna leave today Would ya miss me? Or would ya just keep to yourselves Yeh i guess the internet is cool but i wanna see hell Verse: Flash forward your entire cities ruined all the things you have been doing mean shit to me You wanna place my point of view as a minute one but the fact is that i am the majority Chorus: Use tremelo cranked in the lead for the chorus This country’s fucked in almost every way This planet sucks I’m tryna leave today Would ya miss me? Or would ya just keep to yourselves Yeh i guess the internet is cool but i wanna see hell

Kill Me 02:57
Kill me Kill me I need some relief My life is fucking pointless Kill me kill I mean it this time This world makes me want to die Verse: How many times before you finally start to hate everyone in this world that knows your name High school stylized drama i’m done with it Please don’t act like i give a shit some peoples ideas make them sound so fucked in the head I think that i must have been put on the wrong planet This ones got people that look just like me Except they kill by color and love by faith But only when it’s convenient They’re don’t care about what happens in the least So tell your friends that you love them Argue less cause it’s pointless In the end we all sleep in the same shallow graves Chorus: Kill me Kill me I need some relief My life is fucking pointless Kill me kill I mean it this time This world makes me want to die Build: I always want to get away I think about it everyday Im not happy with this place But its still here when I wake The constant articles you post School shootings, racists and golden globes People can be disgusting x2

Sitting up at 12am, god damn I'm always thinking I gotta pay the insurance on the van, I gotta pay for the tags and brake pads This year has been lots of fun but I haven't had a job so that's no income I've been living like degenerate shit at my fiances moms house eating food with my benefits Chorus: I got this feelin in my bones that I'm never gonna make it oh no no no I don't even like to dream that much but with my sort of luck ill always be fucked Do you Want to Be like me because I don't Want to Always lose with things I love Outro Bridge: Hold on to things you'd never leave from And maybe when they're gone They won't be so far away The things you love consume your life and never let go Its a beautiful thing you know But listen up bud, one day you'll have to give up on all the shit that you love and finally let it all go So while were here in this moment lets enjoy it All the heartache and annoyance that has made us all the hollow people we were never born as

Verse: Worry I don't wanna do this shit when I'm 30 cause I keep freakin out I love all the people I have with me now But I'm feelin like I need some fuckin help I don't wanna sound repetitive I worry cause I don't have a plan And all the choices that I made Have made me who I am today A broke piece of shit who is touring with his friends And when I'm finally home I can never get rest Pre-chorus: I can't sleep Chorus: I can't sleep for the 2nd time this week And I got worries but you know I need peace I'm layin in my bed with a throbbing in my head I keep suckin down these pills to put my ass to rest I havent felt like this in a long time (echo) Even though I say I'm doing just fine (echo) I'm broke (I know)-echo with Eric They'll say (I told ya so) I told ya so x2

Verse: I’ve always stood on my two feet I never thought that i could be Someone who didn’t have a purpose Or a good personality I guess the church just fucked me up When i was young i used to love Dreaming of what i might become And how i’d never be alone Chorus: So if you’re hearing this i don’t care I’m fucking selfish yeah i swear I’d always ask what could i be No answer ever came back to me Bridge: Life is pointless It is worthless To try to impress Anyone you look up to cause they are the same My life is pointless And i am worthless I can never tell if i’m making progress Making progress Faking progress Let’s be honest I’ll never make it Making progress Faking progress Let’s be honest I’ll never make it Chorus: So if you’re hearing this i don’t care I’m fucking selfish yeah i swear I’d always ask what could i be No answer ever came back to me And if i end it all tonight (half time) Would you please never ask why Because if you just open your eyes Hell is real we’ve arrived

To The End 05:33
Intro: Don’t say don’t say things will get better cause they won’t they won’t they’ll stay bad forever and the people you love will die everyone that you love will die And they'll never come back no they won't “THEY WON'T” Verse: I never thought that I would ever be old enough to worry about life and stuff and how to pay for bills n such (I don't want to say) its a rude awakening cause (I'm doing just fine) but man this shit is everyday And I know everyone agrees that life is too much, but also everyone knows that not living is no fun So stay home and play games today, hangout with your friends real late while you still can (you still can) Chorus: Don’t say don’t say things will get better cause they won’t they won’t they’ll stay bad forever and the people you love will die everyone that you love will die So quit saying you feel so blessed because from the moment you were born you were cursed for death you're like me I'm like you And all the places that you'll ever go And all the people that you'll ever know Hold them tight to you And when leave never let that feeling loom Outro: I'd say, I'd say things would get better But if I did I know they'd never Being happy seems like a lie That we believe but don't know why Soon the ones you love will start falling away And the friends that you have never stay the same And your memories will start distancing Themselves from the place you keep everything And when its time for final goodbyes I hope we can look the ones we love straight in the eyes This is what life is all about Death is what life is all about
