Stray Party Animals

I can't get enough of this
Call the dealer up, I got ends on it
Turn the music up while he's on his way
I've fuckin' loved this song since I was a kid
Tell me 'bout that time way back when, once again
I know I've heard a hundred times but I like how it ends
It's nice to think back on our older friends
Before we split off from the pack, and we never looked back
And we're never going home, our kind was made to roam"
And we will keep each other warm, stray party animals
I'll never be the same again but at least I won't live with regret
I took off when the sun came up
I couldn't fall asleep so I stayed up
Had to run some errands filled my coffee cup
Ran into Alyssa down at the shop
She told me 'bout her family and grown up job
She asked me what was new? I sighed and said "Not much..."
And we stood in awkward silence till we got called up.
The rain washed away the scent back home
And they never came back after the storm
Getting lost was easy, never made it back
Now I walk the streets with a different pack

New Bad Habits

Cruisin' down the street on the 16 bus
Meet up with my homies just to see what's up
I cashed my check and paid my debts, still had some left so lets get lit
Bar's half-empty but it's early still
It'll feel half-full if you take this pill
Feeling pretty good for feeling ill
Feeling cool as fuck but you got no chill
This is for the old days
The fear of missing out days
Having your own house days
Only days off were Sundays
Livin' with some roomies but I live it up
Got to jobs but they pay enough
Still got time to enjoy myself
I'm unapologetic
Fuck that old life
The past can have it
I'm developing new bad habits
Tried to drown myself
But I can breathe underwater
I feel good but I don't think that matters
Sometimes I feel my old self creepin' in
Take another shot, take another hit
Can't have fun if you're still him
Depressed as fuck and anxious
Wonder what he'd think of me now
Got a whole life in his favorite town
Meeting hella people cuz you know how
Haven't felt lonely since you moved out
Used to be afraid of getting high
Used to be a lightweight in a different time
Used to share my bed every single night
Used to have a purpose in my fuckin' life
But this is for the old days
The fear of missing out days
Before the DUI days
Before you fucked it up wey
(YA WEY)
Take my home please, I lost my license
Stick around I can't take the silent
We can get some coke, smoke pot, or drink some whiskey.
Where you going? Please don't leave me.

Minor key brain
You drive me insane
Relive the pain
Again and again
Minor key brain
Wish you'd go away
For a couple days
Of peace
Split me in half
You cry then you laugh, loud.
Cut me in two
Just me and you now
Now you pushed them away
What a big mess you made
A little more lonesome than you were yesterday
And with everyone lost you're just paying the cost
Of your minor key heart and brain
This echo is silent
Minor key heart
Makes you seem so far
Surrounded by walls
But safe
Minor key heart
Beat is always off
Now you never stay on key

Well she left like all the others
That's my fault, I'll admit
It's easy to be happy if you don't give a shit
Now my heart hangs at half-mast at the center of my chest
Another moment of silence for what could have been
But I got my whiskey, baby, I got some weed
And I've killed enough of myself so that's all that I need
And I'll turn the music up so I can't hear what I think
Man I'm so fucking tired dealing with my shit, sing it.
I know I've been better than who I am these days
But I was a different person before the damage came
Yeah I had my shit together, got in bed by eight
Watching all my homies party up until the AM
Now they got their families, they got their homes
While I stay up all night doing eight balls of coke
Speaking to them now feels so unrelatable
That I don't wanna bug 'em guess it's best to be alone, sing it.
And I'm so high that I can't stop crying
And I can't stop crying, 'cause I'm so fucked up
And when I'm dry I feel like I'm dyin'
And I can't stop cryin' cuz I'm so fucked up

No one ever told you it would be okay
No one ever said these were the worst of days
But every good thing is on its way
You gotta keep your head up kids
And know they can't read your mind
You gotta tell someone you're not feeling right
All this fucked up shit is eating you alive
Some day there's gonna be nothing left
I wish I could tell you that you're not alone
But you wouldn't listen if I told you so
You gotta let people in if you're gonna cope
You can't keep pushing them away
And know they think about you all the time
You're the only thing that's on your mind
I know you think they barely try
But they're doing the best they know
Here's the truth kid, here are the facts
Only cool kids play tenor sax
Yeah you're right this town is wack
Some day you're gonna leave it back
But have some trust and have some faith
'Cause these feelings won't go away
And I think that you should know
You're heading down a lonely road

Sober Song

Take it back
I wanna regain what I lack
Unsmoke all my cigarettes
So my lungs won't be so black
I'll spit it out
All these IPA's and stouts
Shine a light on all my blackouts
I want to remember what I forgot
I've gained nothing
Guess that's all I got to lose
So it's time for me to choose
To be better or to play the fool
Cuz I got something
And that's what I'm gonna prove
But you could never win, just lose
If you never heal your deepest wounds
You'll kick and shout
You'll fight your toughest bout
You'll kick your own ass
Dealing with the fall out
But you'll be all right
Be patient and be kind
And I promise that with time
This will all feel like a different life
