Overboard 03:06
This time I think she's going overboard. Too many stories that have started wars You stored a trillion that you can't endure. Oh oh. Oh. Suddenly searching for another's warmth. And I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why. Why don't we start we we had stopped last time. And tear ourselves apart and party. Let's start the part where we're all partly sorry. Let's cheers a glass for all those half assed darlings Now let's just wait until it all gets boring. Now let's just stop where we had started to - and break up. This time you think she's going overboard. Too many fines you cannot afford. You've finding skeletons behind each door. Finally filing for divorce. And I don't know, I don't know why, don't know why. Why don't start where we had stopped last time. Let's tear ourselves apart and party. Let's start the part where we're all partly sorry. Let's cheers a glass for all those half assed darlings Now let's just wait until it all gets boring. Now let's just stop where we had started to - and break up. This time you think she's going overboard.

Far From New 02:37
I wish I was new. I wish I knew what to do. Wishes aren't real. At least in my experience they never come true. Made of plastic, yo it was black, the ink like oil. I searched the inside's drawers, and the outsides fertile soil. Found the pen, then wrote down the story in the morning. The night came in, I found the pen and a letter for me. And you should have felt the way it moved. Ballroom dancing in the womb. One could hear the babies kick from the thirteen moons of neptune. Growing in size from small to large, my head came first followed by my arms. All a fantasy, dream un-true. I was born before therefore I'm far from new.

Buried Alive 02:53
I paid a loan I didn't file Picked up the phone until it dialed I'm running circles long distance til this ends Under the surface growing thick skin, sensitive Oh I ran away to the same place I camped all night inside the day I'm sick and tired of being healhy, well rested I pay to eat so that I'll hungry invested oh I'm feeling storm before the calm. The shrapnels here before the bomb. I get excited by mondays and mundane. I get inspired by headaches and back pain. I can't sit still so I just stand around idle Ingoring all the information that's vital Why can't I wait to live life after I die? And when I go to bed tonight I hope I open my eyes. I can imagine the fun that we'd be havin buried underground but alive. I can imagine the fun that we'd be havin buried underground but alive. I'm seeing graves before the child. Not innocent before the trial. A string of bad luck tied up in a tight knot A genius has stroke and dies of a brain clot I can't sit still so I just stand around idle Ingoring all the information that's vital Why can't I wait to live life after I die? And when I go to bed tonight I hope I open my eyes. I can imagine the fun that we'd be havin buried underground but alive. I can imagine the fun that we'd be havin buried underground but alive. I can imagine the fun that we'd be havin buried underground but alive. I can imagine the fun that we'd be havin buried underground but alive.

Sidekick 03:41
Sideways walking and conversation stalking Your secret is safe with me. A safe of secrets to keep. Highbrow interest and marketing and business Was never second nature for me. Give me a second to breathe. No, you don't know what its like. No you don't know what it's like, being the sidekick. Michael Jordan was the king of the court, fair warning. A tip for newcomers to see, a Pippen is no one to be. Flying Grayson's had a graceful and brave son. Robin's a hero indeed, but Batman is still in the lead. No, You don't know what its like. No you don't know what it's like, being the sidekick. A sidekick is someone to be To be close to the action for free A sidekick just does not appeal Although that's how a sidekick would feel Yeah, if you look at yourself, look inside yourself, look to the side of yourself, if you see someone a sidekick would see. Yeah it doesn't take a psychic to see. You're a fucking sidekick!

Cities 04:01
Living on the east coast, drinking water bottles with all my friends Move to the west coast, drinking from those metal container things I can see it both ways Even though its shroud in doubt I can't live in one place I can do without New York city status matters weather not your vain California kingdom is a world without reign Living on the east coast, seeing old friends that now do coke Move to the west coast, legalized head shot toting folks Not a pretty picture. Either way its overexposed It's a city's fixture I've been told New jersey limits have Atlantic city raised Las Vegas interests have some interesting stakes I'm alive! But only in a moment. Move to the west coast, and get coffee with my friend Matt Stay on the east coast, and go to restaurants with my dad I don't wanna be bored I wanna live my life in sin What's a purpose good for When all I do is win New York city pleasure is a business man's game. California swagger drives a savvy man sane. I'm alive! But only in a moment!

lol 03:19
Too many times, too many times, too many times I find that I don't laugh out loud. Nobody, laughs out loud. If it's not for me, inform me. If it's not for me, inform me who it is. No dice. Too many times, too many times, too many times I find that I don't B R B. Too many times, too many times, too many times I find that I don't O M G. If it's not for me, inform me. If it's not for me, inform me who it is. No dice. Too many times, too many times, too many times I find that I don't LMAO If it's not for me, inform me. If it's not for me, inform me who it is. No dice.

Too Right 02:20
There were so many pieces inside but inside no glue. So many sizes and sides but no decent shoes. So is there time, can I wait, just a month or too. Sometimes what's not right can be too right too. Too right too. When is it time for some cake where's my birthday tune? Everyone's singing my name in the living room. I wanna take all my presents with me to school. Sometimes what's not right can be too right too. Too right too. I wanna house with a fridge and a bowl of fruit. Here comes my son it's his birthday, he's turning two. I'll teach him to swim in the deep end of the pool. Sometimes what's not right can be too right too. Too right too.

Chris 04:27
The thief keeps his back wall So he can move among us all He keeps his feet above the ground And now I see what's he's found Chief keeps his head above the crowd So he can see his whole town He keeps his head out of the clouds And now I see what he's found And Chris got slapped, and I borrowed money from him. I keep my train on the tracks so i can train myself back. I see my way through the brown, and now I see what I've found. I keep my train on the track, so I can train myself back. Chris got slapped, and I borrowed money from him. I know I need a new way out.

Out where the sun is leaking, I see the nighttime leaving. I get a chill it means sit still I'll kill some time by sleeping. I cross my arms when waiting. A dime is well worth saving. A bank of skills won't pay the bills what will is occupation. Imagine all the bleachers, and all the empty sneakers. A cellphone case with vacant space, what a waste were all those those beepers Sometimes I think, I think too much. I lose myself in a thought, I lose myself in a thought. Into a grave your headed. Bad habits hide forgetting. I might be wrong, I'm just concerned, you wish death I don't get it. I paid pennies to own it. It takes forever, don't it. I'm punching faces, facing fals. I painted pictures to tone it. You make it seem so simple. I'm a boring kid like pimple. But I learn fast, and I eat fast. I'm tough as nails like pitbull. Sometimes I think, I think too much. I lose myself in a thought, I lose myself in a thought.
