Bored With Booze

The sounds combining will serve as a silver lining
And those nights kept close to you will slowly but surely save your life
I’m bored with booze and cigarettes but I recall some days when that was not the case
Sending smoke signals from West Village and singing songs about the good old days
Yeah I remember the nights of not remembering shit with my best friends
And those nights kept close to you will slowly but surely save your life
And the sounds combining will serve as a silver lining
I’m bored with booze and cigarettes but I recall some days when that was not the case
Sending smoke signals from West Village and singing songs about the good old days
Yeah I remember the nights of not remembering shit with my best friends

Day One
02:49
|

When everyday is New Year’s Eve and every night is Halloween and everything in between is lost
The shaky hands and the part time job are getting older faster than you thought
And you’re losing a staring contest with a clock
Is it a matter of waiting
And is there something worth saving
Is it a matter of time until your biggest secret’s out
Your brain casing is misshapen, your chemicals are unbalanced
But you’re lucky enough to notice that right now
The doctors and your friends agree, your behavior has changed recently
You’re scared to be something that never was
Is it a matter of waiting
And is there something worth saving
Is it a matter of time until your biggest secret’s out
I suppose that it’s normal to feel like you’ve lost control
When you no longer trust yourself anymore

Heaven in Hell
03:33
|
|

Nobody died but some of us came close
Was it a matter of time or luck or maybe both?
Nobody died but some of us came close
There’s a holy mess and a ship that’s sinking and a captain that has lost all feeling
And the plastic cups are piling up somewhere
There’s songs for brothers who still have ties to their real mothers and plans for their lives
There’s no men or women or children left behind
Oh and you never really know who you are gonna meet
There’s a Heaven in Hell and it’s called Rockaway Beach
Nobody died but some of us came close
Was it a matter of time or luck or maybe both?
Nobody died but some of us came close
When we made war by the city limits the waiting list began to hit us
And it only took a minute or two to fall in love
But spent the next six months avoiding everyone
There’s songs for sisters who still have ties to their real mothers and plans for their lives
There’s no men or women or children left behind
Oh and you never really know who you are gonna meet
There’s a Heaven in Hell and it’s called Rockaway Beach
Nobody died but some of us came close
Was it a matter of time or luck or maybe both?
Nobody died but some of us came close

Eleventh Beer
04:11

And I'm on my 11th beer and no I didn't go out
And know I know I'm not proud
And know I know I'll never think I'll be
And if I hit reset on everything I'll be waiting once again for what could be nothing
Although I'm hiding from something
And if I hit reset on everything I'll be waiting once again for what could be nothing
For what could be the end of all, the end of all I have
And all the things I thought that I'd always wish I'd have
My nights are long term and my days are shorter
I don't know where to fucking begin
I don't know where to fucking begin
And I'm on my 11th beer and no I didn't go out
And no I know I'm not proud
And no I know I'll never think I'll be
And if I hit reset on everything I'll be waiting once again for what could be nothing
For what could be the end of all, the end of all I have
And all the things I thought that I'd always wish I'd have
My nights are long term and my days are shorter
I don't know where to fucking begin
I don't know where to fucking begin
And I'm lost and out of my mind
And for every moment that passes, I take a step towards the abyss
And I'm lost and out of my mind
The highways don't participate in anything I anticipate anymore

Worth Every Mile
04:29

As every chapter ends another chapter starts
And for every friend you’ve forgotten take a step into the dark
The closer that you get to the white light up ahead
It will start to all come back and it will feel real once again
Saturdays spent on the open road in the middle of the night
No matter where you’re going now, you’ll start to feel alive
As another chapter ends another chapter starts
For every friend you’ve forgotten take a step into the dark
And it wasn’t written in stone
There’s no telephone to wait by
Just train tracks to walk along
Until the sun and air and moon are gone
Some say that it doesn’t take impossible strength to see
That the open road might never bring you back to me
Breath in, breath out, drown in all doubt
The trees and all the vines will one day overgrow
The cities that we knew and the places we called home
And somewhere in the ashes will be a three by five
Picture of you and me from the best days of our lives
As every chapter ends another chapter starts
And for every friend you’ve forgotten take a step into the dark
The look on your face will be worth every mile
From north and south and east and west, in acceptance and denial

Year of the Ghost
03:09

|

The word on the street is that this is war
And you’re never gonna know what you’re looking for
I want your love
So I’ll tell you all the things that I think you wanna hear
I want your love
And none of this will matter in six months anyway
When you try to look back cus nothing stays the same
I want your love
So I’ll change who I am and act just like you
I want your love
This is the year of the ghost from lonely coast to lonely coast
This is the year that we’re gonna face our fears
These are the best days that you’ll ever have
So don’t look down and don’t look back
These are the best days that you’ll ever have again
So trust me friend
On the side of the road missing what I had
I drove past your house until I ran out of gas
I want your love
So I’ll borrow some money and keep driving around
I want your love
Falling head over heels for people I don’t know
When I’m scared to death of dying alone
I want your love
So I’ll borrow some money and keep driving around
I want your love
This is the year of the ghost from lonely coast to lonely coast
This is the year that we’re gonna face our fears
These are the best days that you’ll ever have
So don’t look down and don’t look back
These are the best days that you’ll ever have again
So trust me friend

Fuck Apathy
03:37
|
|

I never want to go to bed
I never want to see the end of this
Or think about all the things I'll miss
My words don't mean shit anymore
I've cried wolf too many times to be trusted
And now I'm fucked
And I'm calling my friends to make sure they still exist
If I weren't afraid to leave the house
I'd have no excuse not to have real friends
But I guess it just depends on how
Scared out of my mind I am
Going to be alone is the worst plan
When you're fucked up
And I'm calling my friends to make sure they still exist
I'm not tired of talking but they're tired of hearing about this
The saddest songs should never end when you're getting drunk alone again
The saddest songs are always on repeat
The saddest songs should never end when you're halfway home alone again
The saddest songs are always on repeat.
Feel sorry for me.
If it weren't up to the powers at be all the blind faith would just become apathy
And fuck apathy
My hands can't move emotions or piece together my life like it was once before
And fuck apathy
And I'm calling my friends to make sure they still exist
I'm not tired of talking but they're tired of hearing about this
I wanna get high and go to the hospital and tell them I'm looking for someone
The saddest songs will never end when you're getting drunk alone again
The saddest songs are always on repeat
The saddest songs will never end when you're halfway home alone again
The saddest songs are always on repeat.
Feel sorry for me.

Stranded
03:15
|
|

I don’t wanna get out of bed today
So tell the outside world to wait
I don’t wanna get out of bed today
So tell the outside world to go away
On the wrong side of the window on the right side of the fence
We’re bottled up and smashed over the head of present tense
Weary, indecisive, incomplete, and breaking down
I’m hiding in the shadows of this god forsaken town
And it will kill me before I ever kick myself for leaving you
If I could just see straight I would do the same thing too
You’re eager to be desperately pathetic when full grown
And blind enough to break the seams that blood and sweat have sewn
So try and fail and try again, and just rely on reliars then
To tell you when the going gets too tough
I’m randomly arranged in a disorganized routine
Of getting drunk in hopes that I’ll forget what I have seen
And it’s not my fault if I don’t recall what I’m apologizing for
I just want to go back to the way things were before
And I’ll plan to exit until I realize
That I am stranded in a milestone
Of drug abuse in broken homes
Losing track of misplaced thoughts
I once was found but now I’m lost
Attempting to complete the day
Against the odds with broken faith
I’m stranded, stranded, stranded, now

Talking in Circles
03:35
|
|

Picture this I’m sitting there, under the gun and unprepared
With nothing to fear but being scared
Even when I walk the walk I still can’t bear to talk to the talk
And wishing on stars that never were is just a constant reminder
Behind a hearse at a stoplight
She fell asleep in the daylight
She never thought that she’d do that
But she never said that she wouldn’t
Between the floor and the new snow
She fell asleep in the window
She never thought that she’d do that
But she never said that she wouldn’t
Just like that conversation I remember having about this time last year
Avoiding eye contact with myself and that guy in the bathroom mirror
We were talking in circles and smoking some squares, grinning from ear to ear
I’ll never forget the times I spent replacing you with beer

A Song for Best Friends
03:39

There’s still another story just around the bend
And you will never guess just where the story ends
Let’s go
You gotta stop trying to try too hard
The sabbatical is over but you’re living in the dark
Let’s go
I’m gonna fly in a bird’s eye view to the plains
To a place where everybody knows my name, no matter how long that it takes
Over the scarecrows and the scared people
Over the clouds and through all the steeples, and at the speed of sound
I will be bending light and turning my luck around
Traded every last cent that I thought I had
For the meaning of life but I was kind of disappointed
Woke up to a world that I didn’t recognize
And asked around too many times to find the winning side
I’m gonna walk in a bird’s eye view to the plains
To a place where everybody knows my name, no matter how long that it takes
Over the scarecrows and the scared people
Over the clouds and through all the steeples, and at the speed of sound
I will be bending light and turning my luck around
I traded everything that I thought I had
For the meaning of life but I was kind of disappointed
I’m gonna fly in a bird's eye view to the plains
To a place where everybody knows my name, and at the speed of sound
I will be bending light and turning my luck around
In a place surrounded by my favorite sounds
In a world that I won’t ever let me down
I will be bending light and turning my luck around
