QB Sneak 02:24
i've had two weeks of bad dreams, now I'm living on caffeine and there's a place that I can go where there's a pretty little thing feel like I'm stuck behind the scenes, or smoking too much shitty weed I gotta get up out this hole or embrace a QB sneak can't see my face on magazines, not even in my dreams hope there's a place that I can go when they say it's time to leave and when the words sound good but taste so bad now they're spilling out the mouth of an undergrad they've got an attitude like a burning sun you're so close, you're so close and now you are one

Rest Stop 02:08
i think i'm just just a love song but really i'm a loner sittin' in the corner if life is just a rest stop i think we just passed it we'll get off at the next one wait and see what you'll find out once you leave now let it go time to find out what you're made of all of what you've done was made up i'm the idea you're afraid of this sudden change is never ending all your life you've been waiting for a moment well it's fading wait and see what you'll find out once you leave now let it go have it all for free

Newbie 02:04
sometimes in this life it can be hard to explain all the fucked up shit going on in my brain sometimes in this life it can be hard to define all the different ways, the different ways I wanna make her mine sometimes i get tired of feeling like i'm on trial i run in circles, run in circles makes me feel like i'm a child sometimes in this life it can be hard to pursue all the stupid shit, the stupid shit i really wanna do sometimes in this life it can be hard to explain all the fucked up shit going on in my brain sometimes in this life it can be hard to define all the different ways, the different ways I wanna make her mine

you've got no time but you've got all of your life to get by, to get high, to put a shade over your eyes you're always uptight and you know i feel it you're always tongue tied but i know that it's alright and all we had in store was taken from my door and i'm glad i got her number 'cause now i'm out from under i've got no time but i've got all of my life to get by, to get high, to put a shade over my eyes i'm always uptight and i know you feel it i'm always tongue tied but i know that it's alright all we had in store was taken from my door and I'm glad i got her number 'cause now i'm out from under

i don't know just where it goes but i understand it happens that way it all stays the same 'til it's gone from your head like it never did i know someday you'll find a way to go some never know it happens to most then you're up on the screen saying all that you mean it is you i just know i gotta grow up i'll never win it's called bein' a boy you gotta make up a plan and you stick with it like it's all that you did i think there's somethin' here that's making me stay drank the water i guess love makes you this way then it all stays the same you start believin' your dream i could be anyone anyone to you i don't know anyone anyone but i know you it is you it is

Dead Legs 03:00
take me out of the world take me out of the world until i'm gone curled up under the dirt, crawling through like a worm it never stops and god i'm tired of feeling like i'm tired i got a glacier on my head i got an angel in my bed and she sings away my dread and when she does, when she does these dead legs comes alive, and all my bullshit will subside i'll start feeling my feet, it's only a matter of time let's get something to eat, as long as i pay my rent on time take me out of the world take me out of the world, it's too much fun i'm sinking under a shore and I just keep asking for more it's so fucked up when these dead legs come alive, all my bullshit will subside i'll start feeling my feet, it's only a matter of time let's get something to eat, as long as i pay my rent on time i won't feel insecure, like someone's worrying about me because my record's fine, if i quit worrying half the time

eyes sink like heavy stones rather be left alone to stare at the purple sun melancholy paper drum everything you have is real it just depends on how you feel and everything you've ever had is in the sands of old baghdad all around there's song and dance with golden wine in their hands and everything you'll ever have is spilling from the flowing glass eyes sink like heavy stones rather be left alone to stare at the purple sun melancholy paper drum
8.
Home 02:29
we spent six long weeks in the sun getting higher than life was an idea i called fun there was nothing tripping us up there was nothing i felt i had to run from i was home, yeah i was home drinking fire like wine a couple liquor store diamonds the tales of the girls and places they've been and something like regret was a foreign concept i was home, i was home i was home, i was home the time i spent came and went i was home, i was home
9.
Stick Around 03:10
i think of heaven when i think of you i see the love in the world too there is a kingdom within you in this place dreams come true and i know it's not perfect but i swear that it's worth it to stick around yeah stick around i had a vision that you were a star and time has told me that you really are and i know it's not perfect but i swear that it's worth it to stick around yeah stick around stick around yeah stick around stick around yeah stick around stick around yeah stick around
