We can't see where the road forks And we're too old And too fucked up to care now. No family to hide behind. No children to hold in front of us. Unbridled freedom and true accountability is beyond humbling isn't it? Except death At this point death will never want us. I've been through hell with you. Near arrests, Loss, And our grip on reality being ever so slippery. (for Paul, Sean, Peter, Chellow, Devin, and Susie this song is about friends who even though you butt heads and argue its of no consequence and you respect pretty much endlessly and look forward to seeing.)

Lung Roast 00:48
Morons Dipshits Lungs on a spit with tar and shit Blowing lines of dust in an attic is probably less damaging. Do you just need a ritual? Are you not done acting angry at mom and dad? There's no excuse for it. Slow drag Slow burn Slow death Slow to learn You smell fucking disgusting. (this song is about how dumb cigarettes are)

Work Weak 01:15
I spend five days locked away In a prison of piss scented snow and Some mixture of blunt guts and shit Trying to shake some demons while I throw bleach down the fire escape But peace does not come quick I'll shut my eyes and let The smell burn my sinuses Hands bound in razorwire Less is more Every torrent of thought Is worse than before My brain is eating me for living this way The release of friday is bittersweet at fucking best Face first in a mountain of frost To forget why I'm here To forget that I'm lost And I'll drown myself in firewater (but) The chain on my leg Has fused to my bone at this point I'm always rebreaking my limbs Taking leaden strides To where I end up never wanting to go I should know: I'm not free. (this song is how a jobs can break a person and make you fall into some pretty strong vices, in my case it was being a groundskeeper/laborer in a very dangerous place)

The wind feels like water on my face Stuck between truth and illusion Like a flickering neon sign Struggling for breath I Rend. I Only Need this As A reset. I WILL THINK LIKE A FUCKING GOD To remove these mood swings which cut like a knife To a throat undeserving Show me the demons Gestating in the pit of my stomach Lucy in the sky within fucking ruins Honestly, for real, fuck John Lennon too Continuously retching out my bad memories from within They burn when I vomit them like this They were stewing for years in there I don't wanna be around anyone I just don't care Thankfully this shit was the camera zoom Out of perspective I needed I don't wanna be around anyone I just don't care Unseen needs As: A reset // respawn (this song is about how psychedelic substances are incredibly beneficial and a good trip can reset your brain for the better)

I never took you to have weaknesses You were always the only stoic asshole who called me you I can still feel my face pressing against the kitchen table I can feel the radiator on my back I couldn't wait for you to leave (Somewhere) along the line I forgave you You weren't ready to be a father; you didn't know how to I'm okay with that now. I'm not so different in that respect I love you much more as my friend And you almost left us For good I'll never forget what I saw that morning 6 AM Stitches fresh in your chest Never had any idea just how depressed Twenty years of dust The same layers in my head Twenty years of mistrust Rectified when you're dead AND WHEN YOU GO ALL I'LL HAVE IS YOUR NAME ITS DEAD ALL I'LL HAVE IS YOUR NAME NO NEED TO SEE GOLD. SO STAY ALL I'LL HAVE IS YOUR NAME I'M JUST FAKE UNDESERVED AND ALL I'LL HAVE IS JUST YOUR NAME NOTHING HAS WORTH DOOMED A THIRD: FAILURE AND HOPEFULLY THE LAST (this song is some ultra personal family shit. realizing your elders suffered mentally just like you did growing up and how you come to forgive them and love them and in the end you still hate yourself)
