I don’t need to go back home again I’m getting tired of all the same events I don’t need to make another friend I don’t understand the need for them Oooo how can I win if you don’t let me play Oooo how can you lose if you got nothing at stake Oooo it sounds so cliche but you rig every game Oooo I know what to say but I can’t articulate You can’t picture what’s the difference But I can see the distance from the lens In my head I’m like a congressman But I’m treated like the Taliban Oooo how can I win if you don’t let me play Oooo how can you lose if you got nothing at stake Oooo it sounds so cliche but you rig every game Oooo I know what to say but I can’t articulate (I’m winning you over) Oooo how can I win if you don’t let me play Oooo how can you lose if you got nothing at stake Oooo it sounds so cliche but you rig every game Oooo I don’t know what to say

I can't drive to save my life I can't wait til I arrive But when it comes to time Well what comes to mind Is what I'll come to find That's when I come alive I can't drive to save my life I'm not primed for 65 When I go out tonight What will go through my mind Is where I'll go when I die That's when I come alive! It’s debated whether or not I’ve even been here at all It’s debated I can’t drive.

I tried to do it your way But in the end it always comes out the same I tried to do it again But it’s just not the way I do it I’m feeling kinda foolish I’m bout to say just screw it I’m done Yeah that’s not the way you do it And I’m feeling kinda muted And it’s time we face the music we’re done Why can’t you do it my way Just kick your ego right up outta this place Then I would just celebrate But that’s not the way you do it Cuz you sit there and dispute it With a face like you smell sewage or skunks Yeah that’s not the way you do it And I’m feeling kinda muted And it’s time I face the music we’re done Why can’t you just use your brain? Why can’t you just use your brain? Why can’t you just use your brain? Well that’s not the way you do it and that sucks

I'm Not Fake 03:07
I'm not fake I walk it like I talk it I see it as it should be I never said I'm woodsy hey I'm not vain I don't think I'm hot chocolate I hide my feelings often If it ain't your vibe, get off then I'm not fake I walk it like I talk it I'm not vain I don’t think I'm hot chocolate I'm just plain A burger with no sauce Not even worth the cost I'll fade away get lost, get lost And we all go left and right But then it doesn't matter any way And we all get left behind I guess it doesn't matter any way I'm not brave I'll never save the city Afraid just like a kitty This cape it just don't fit me Hey I'm not awake By nature I’m so shitty What made ya think I'm witty It's never gonna hit me Hey I'm not fake I walk it like I talk it I'm not vain I don’t think I'm hot chocolate I'm just plain A tooth without the floss A Kate without the Moss Just fade away get lost, get lost And we all go left and right But then it doesn't matter any way And we all get left behind I guess it doesn't matter any way Wee Ooo you look just like Rivers Cuomo Ohh ohh and I'm Catherine Zeta Jones You're antique You're unbelievable Why would you see me It's inconceivable You're at your peak You’re unachievable Even in dreams Not even feasible And we all get left behind I guess it doesn't matter any way

I don’t know much But I know my stuff But still I get let down I never judge I hold no grudge But still I get left out Then sure enough You actin sus But I just feel it out I don’t much But I call your bluff It’s not attractive honest But I can see that’s there’s a little appeal It’s my unconscious conscience And I kinda like the way that it feels But it’s unfixable Unforgivable Uninvincible skin It’s so typical So predictable Unoriginal sin Yeah I don’t know much But I know my stuff But still I get let down I never judge Or hold no grudge But still I get left out Then sure enough You actin sus But I just feel it out I don’t much But I call your bluff Wait am I too self-conscious A narcissistic contradiction concealed. It’s an obnoxious contest Spurious albeit for real Egotistical Hypocritical A predictable flake Too logistical So sophistical Unconditional hate I don’t know much But I know my stuff But still I get let down I never judge I hold no grudge But still I get left out Then sure enough You actin sus But I just feel it out I don’t much But I call your bluff Yeah, your bluff Your bluff, your bluff, your, bluff, your bluff I call your bluff

If I'm not careful, I might get bit It's not that scary, but I’m scared of it I put my hand out. I stretch it down. I feel the pressure. I feel it out I feel the doubt. I'm freaking out Your leaving now I don't care at all (yet) If I'm not careful, I might like it. I don't have time for the commitment I can't be trusted. I won't grow up. I feel the pressure. I say enough. I'm saving up. You say this sucks I like your guts But I don't care at all I don't care at all (yet) You go on and on again You get on and off the fence You got all the evidence And in my head but I’m never gonna care again I'm not careful. I'll miss it. I can't play catch. I'll sit the bench im not athletic. competitive. I don't play sports. I can't hit shit. You can't do this. I don't exist. But here's the twist: I dont care at all I don't care all yet You go on and on again You get on and off the fence You got all the evidence. And got all the elegance You know all the self defense You got all the common sense And your in my head but I’m never gonna care again

Shit Shit Ugh. But I don’t care no more And maybe I did It was weird at the time But I really don't care at all that You’re living my best life now And I'm living your worst I shan't forfeit my native crib I can't vacate it: but yeah I did. I shan't enlist commando kids I can't campaign it: confrontation! I can't bout And you camped out And I went down beaten eatin shit Shit Shit I don’t care no more But maybe I did It was weird at the time But I really don't care at all that You’re living my best life now And I'm living your worst But he don’t care at all And maybe he did You’re living my best life now And I'm living your worst

Hysterical 01:54
Due date Born late Heart rate Complicate He don’t know She don’t know They don’t care Birthday Eat cake Hydrate Kool aid I don’t know They don’t know We don’t care School aged School mate Lose weight Zit face Why is everything terrible Making you so hysterical Get in the deep end and swim Why can’t you be more like him It time get out of the nursery And get right into a surgery And here’s a complex with bread Set up your pension you’re dead Educate Concentrate Medicate Dissipate Dissipate Dissipate Dissipate

It takes one to know one And I’m that to no one And I don’t wanna lose control And I’m not ready to let Go Away From here Again Go Away I fear The end It takes one to know one And I’m back to no one And I don’t wanna lose control And I’m not ready to let Go Away From here Again Go Away I fear The end Keep the drums going. Now bring in just the guitars- the lead guitars Cool Keep those playing for a little bit and then second brink back in the rhythm guitar You know what never mind, let’s just take it home. I don’t wanna go I don’t wanna go anymore I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know anymore I don’t wanna Go I don’t wanna Know - hey hey!

Quiet 01:30
Quiet. I don't know why I can't get up in the morning.

about

Hello,
If I had to write a blogy review of my own album it would be like:

Casey Jost's constant pursuit to scratch the unrelenting itch of writing quirky little pop-rock songs continues on his 4th "serious" solo album. As usual, Casey does his best to find a comfy place to sit at the slacker table, somewhere between Weezer and Pavement, but on this record Casey lets his metaphorical hair down to allow some of his other influences to join the party. Influences such as: INSERT WHATEVER YOU HEAR. Coming in around just 25 minutes: crank it up and listen to it a few times in a row!!!
