Forreal 03:09
No one told me this shit is for real (They tried, they tried) The effort must come from somewhere ( I can't find, I can't find) My mind was pried open and my mouth shown shut and my pride stuffed deep within my beer soaked gut NO ONE TOLD ME THIS SHIT IS FOR REAL Don't say it gets easier with time (Please don't lie, please don't lie) Life is shirt so I can try one more time (I can try, I can try) My mind was pried open and my mouth shown shut and my pride stuffed deep within my beer soaked gut NO ONE TOLD ME THIS SHIT IS FOR REAL

Booze 03:18
Let me sweat out the Boston booze before I say what I think Every time I go back east that coast gets the best of me I have no control, Can't think on my feet But I'm proud to be a west coast freak. The hungover long haired slob, the who I was while I was there Well, he had to leave, got a job, and cut his hair I spent my time selfishly Now I'll face my penalty
4.
Nervous 03:51
I wasn't built for conversation, I wasn't put here to talk Wasted words come form your mouth, a pointless waste of breath There's few words I haven't heard, words just make me nervous I have tied my own tongue, to stop the pointless flow Of words that are not helping me, aren't helping me at all I'm still where I was, with no plans to go Silence is golden, words just make me nervous Silence is golden Words just make me nervous Words just make me nervous

I'm a soft Californian with no shell stab me in the back and I'll still wish you well Sorry, I don't mean to dwell now I've been up for way to long and I'm sure I'm singing this wrong just like all the rest Tell me, how do you stay open to constant change? I'm frozen now We just gotta get out of our heads We just gotta get out We just gotta get out of here I'm a soft Californian with no shell and I don't think I'm dealing with it well Just repress and move on I've been dragged through the dirt and grime I can't wash it off there is no time Just repress and move on

Can't 05:38
The worlds a scary place I guess I should stay inside Im scared to show my face but Im not afraid to hide No one knows what will happen so please don't say you do I can't shake this feeling that it'll happen to you I may hide it well but I'm always terrified and if you asked me to my face I'm more then sure I lied I'm older in age so these feelings I should mask But sometimes I can't The words a predator and we are all its pray Anxiety comes with questions go unasked I'm older in age so these feelings I should mask But sometimes I can't Sometimes I can't
7.
Could Not 04:21
(For Grandma) I didn't recognize your face as you laid there It wasn't the face that raised me It wasn't the face that took me home from school I wish our goodbye wasn't over the phone weeping in the middle of the grocery store even though you told me no to cry, then I saw you on the day you died You couldn't talk, and you could hardly breath but you said please don't leave here without me 'Take me home' is all that you could say I'm sorry that I couldn't help you home that day I wish I could've taken you home I wish I could've taken you home Like you asked Like you demanded But I couldn't I wish I could've taken you home I wish I could've taken you home Like you asked Like you demanded But I couldn't

Thinking 04:47
Yes, yes it's true I only slept for 2 hours But I feel fine better then I thought I would I feel fine it's just All of this thinking is making me tired It's not my fault it's the way my brains wired All of this thinking is making me tired It's not my fault it's the way my brains wired It's not my fault it's not my fault (I have seen this all before) All of this thinking is making me tired It's not my fault it's the way my brains wired All of this thinking is making me tired It's not my fault it's the way my brains wired I can't silence my mind It's not my fault it's not my fault All of this thinking is making me tired It's not my fault it's the way my brains wired
9.
Goodbye 02:52
Nothing sounds worse then the words Goodbye I've said it so many times, my mouth cracks dry My throats cramped from saying Goodbye The sound squeaks out as I look away Next time those words I refuse to say I'm done saying Goodbye They say that I'll never see you again I can taste the words as the rip into the air Disgust rolls in and resentments there I just hope I see you again and that this isn't Goodbye They say that I'll never see you again
