1.	In July 02:34	lyrics	buy track
In July I’m gonna take a gun and kill myself And you know you’;re not the only reason why Come November, it makes sense Then you hate yourself Because you remember all the times that I cried April brings the rain The night you left, I swear I felt my body begin to decay All my pain, only makes me good At doing all the things that I hate I wish for colder days I wish for colder days I wish for colder nights Snow ball fights, Sneakin out to do things right Not giving shits Takin hits Hittin a lick Stealin a kiss from my princess Quarter mile long distance Tickets for the transit Call my name and I’ll answer You’re my tiny dancer Supermodel hero Motherfucking te quiero In July I’m gonna take a gun and kill myself. In July I’m gonna take a gun and kill myself.
2.	169 02:55	lyrics	buy track
I wish I didn’t care so much, Then I could be something cool like a rapper and then Maybe boys would notice me But I just play guitar And write folk songs And think im the hot shit but that Just aint reality They say I drink too much That I can’t keep my life out the crapper And that I’ve been running on empty They say I smoke too much I smell like a hotel Im looking quite cancerous Well that’s okay with me And it’s not cute When you talk to other boys Tell me why Im still waiting at bus route 169 And it’s not up to me how you go and spend your nights Just be alright Do you promise? So I can rest my mind I wish I didn’t love so much So I could fuck, and get my dick wet and not Have to feel like such a tool I wish it were easier for me to hurt The people I care about But that’s not really true I wonder why I’ve been wasting my time with moonshine And getting turned up everyday That stupid song’s not even cool Turn down for what if you don’t give a fuck Im just getting my drink on And playing the blues
3.	Built for Two 03:43	lyrics	buy track
Packin all our bags, We're gonna rob New York City They'll never know what hit em But damn you're looking pretty Fine to me Moving all our shit We're heading down the west coast With the boy, I love the most Tucked inside my arm And I know this big bad world won't do us no harm, And it won't be long, Till we're playing our song, On a ukulele built for Two I love you And when this is over and through, we'll go back to where we belong. This life isn't fair, But we never really seemed to care. I've still got the scent of your hair, And pictures of our matching tattoos Waiting on the train, To go to south Seattle It's gonna be a battle, When we have to tell our folks And leaving's one thing, That often comes with loving. You find yourself running, From the places you called home. And I know this big bad world won't do us no harm, And it won't be long, Till we're playing our song, On a ukulele built for Two I love you And when this is over and through, we'll go back to where we belong. This life isn't fair, But we never really seemed to care. I've still got the scent of your hair, And pictures of our matching tattoos
4.	Mary Jane 02:44	lyrics	buy track
Well my ex's live in Texas I've got old flames up in Maine But there's a girl who's back home waiting And her name is Mary Jane I'm susceptible to feelings I'm neurotic in the brain My hearts low down in sadness But she takes that all away I just wanna see Mary I'm gonna Mary her some day She makes me feel so carefree And that's how I want to stay Mary she's a good girl I don't care what others say She's the only gal who sticks around When everyone's gone away Saw her back at 15 I was shy when we first met But then we talked and talked for hours About something...I forget I just wanna see Mary I'm gonna Mary her some day She makes me feel so carefree And that's how I wanna stay
5.	Blasphemy 02:19	lyrics	buy track
Oh my mama was a tweaker, My daddy was a drinker. They left me on the very same day. I was born in '95, But I died in 69, How the fuck am I still living here today? Oh my daddy drove a limo, Found himself a little bimbo.m Tore apart my mama's speedy heart, And now every time I see him, I can't help but wanna beat him. Cuz that's the prick that tore my life apart. When I was 16 I started turning tricks for green, Hustling on the streets out everyday. Well you gotta sell your meat, If you wanna pay to eat. When your diet's made of nothing but cocaine. Oh my mama was a tweaker, My daddy was a drinker. They left me on the very same day. I was born in '69, But I died in '95. How the fuck am I still living here today? I'm a lying narcissistic, Piece of trash who doesn't give shit, About what anybody else has got to say. I'm a blasphemestic whore, Watch me walking out the door, Pessimistic should've been my middle name. Well I finally fell in love, Till he finally had enough. Packed his shit and moved up north. And I'm so washed up now it seems the river flows like blood in me, But I never could get into water sports. Oh my mama was a tweaker, My daddy was a drinker. They left me on the very same day. I was born in '69, But I died in '95, How the fuck am I still doing this today?

7.	Dog Boy 04:12	lyrics	buy track
Picking dead flies From off the window She moves just like a crescendo I don't know What comes tomorrow Just hold on For as long as you can swallow I am, I am I am, I am Nothing She puts on red lipstick Like she's gonna paint the town with it It's really hard to miss it When she plants someone a kiss From those lips God you want to taste it But she's not up For sale I am, I am I am, I am Everyone And I remember the time, When I lost my mind And everyday was a new surprise And I remember the time, When I lost my life And every kiss was a new sunrise I am dog boy.
8.	Metamorphosis 03:46	lyrics	buy track
Make love To whatever beats you down To whatever uses you up To whatever burns you out Make peace With the people who cheat you Lie, molest, and deceive you And wear your crown And yes you see me By the corner With my eyes fixed on the wall Barely breathing Spun out nutjob Statistics show there'll be a fall I am creeping Through psychosis Metamorphosis and all Leave me bleached out On the sidewalk Up to nothing good at all Make war To whatever keeps you safe To whatever dulls your brain To whatever numbs your pain Bring flame To all the ones who spat in your face Who ever tried to put you in place Or keep you around And yes you see me By the corner With my eyes fixed on the wall Barely breathing Spun out nutjob Statistics show there'll be a fall I am creeping Through psychosis Metamorphosis and all Leave me bleached out On the sidewalk Up to nothing good at all Nothing good at all
9.	California Cowboy 04:21	lyrics	buy track
I'm a California cowboy I got cocaine up my nose I jack off to fancy sports cars And I wear designer clothes I'm almost at my point of breaking down But the void ain't got me yet I walk hard And I walk tall Through my own mess And mother Mary She is calling But I won't hear her, I'll just turn my head. California You will kill me But I'll hit rock bottom Before I'm dead Im a San Francisco love child, And my future looks real grim. The only virgin in my bedroom, Is a pack of opened 'slims Every bottle that I've empties out Is in a box beneath my bed I wash right out All the thoughts In my head And mother Mary She is calling But her words of wisdom Slip through my ears California I'm not drowning But I'll keep on sinking Till I disappear And the void Is getting stronger And I don't know What I will do And like a shadow It pulls me under Roll the stone Over my tomb And let her call me
10.	Fancy 03:01	lyrics	buy track
Supplement My insecurities With designer things And magazines And I'll slip From reality Into the boiling point That's inside of me Cuz things Aren't what they seem It's only hollow dreams But I'm still doing me cuz I'm so fancy You already know I'm in the fast line And I'm never gonna take it slow I'm so fancy I can taste the gold remember my name When I go When I go He lines Up another line On the mirror now, It's party time So let Yourself go wild Just be someone else For a little while Tongue tied Dear found of mine I lost myself In the slipping tides Cuz I'm so fancy You already know I'm on my own now And I'm never ever coming home Like I'm so fancy I can taste the gold Remember my name when I go When I go
11.	Masochistic Sonofabitch 03:53	lyrics	buy track
I am a lying scoundrel. I am a dirty cheat. God dry fucks me every night Before I go to sleep I don’t give a shit about my education, All I wanna do is play rock n’ roll. I sold everything to satan But I already lost it all So don’t you dare take one look at me I already know what you’re gonna see A good for nothing son of a bitch, Well fuck yeah, that’s me. We are the answer, To every broken home We are the outcome From spending years alone I tried to jump railroads, But it was all in my head I would spend more time living, If I wasn’t better off dead. I am a piece of shit, For living off the man And I am an anarchist, Without a fucking plan. They thought they could beat me down, But here I still stand, I’m tired of fucking living, With a pistol in my hand. So don’t you dare take one look at me, I already know what you’re gonna see, A good for nothing son of a bitch, Well fuck yeah, that’s me. We are the answer, To every broken home We are the outcome From spending years alone I tried to jump railroads But it was all in my head I would spend more time living, If I wasn’t better off dead.
12.	Found 03:09	lyrics	buy track
There was one lonely man, In this one lonely world He met one lonely girl He met one lonely girl And they start feeling things Which they aren't really sure But it was better with her It was better with her So they cooked up a plan To get out of this town Sold off all of their things That weren't tied to the ground And she'd kiss his face Without making a sound And he knew he was found he was finally found So now they're in this new life With things they don't know There were places to get There were places to go And he'd swear to himself They would never dissolve If something gave them shit They'd just keep moving on But the nights they grew dark And the nights they grew cold He could feel the empty space Where his hands used to hold Her Now, she's nowhere to be found So now I walk down these streets In this one lonely world To the lonely bus stop Where I met lonely girl And I trace on the ground Where out feet they once stood I'd do better if I could I'd do better if I could
13.	San Francisco Eyes 03:57	lyrics	buy track
Old coffee cans simple half tooth grin summer beau whiskey on our chins paper crane asymmetric heart they float away when the twilight starts. Just passing through, lovers run and hide into the fields, or mountain sides. They rest their crowns on thimble beds and dreams of days, that they haven't spent. Black magic heart, San Francisco eyes. In the bay, I shed my lies. The wind is sweet, when she blows for me, and in her pull, I set it free. Broken record mind, our sweet lullaby. Halfed cigarettes, and watered smiles. Just passing through, two worlds collide. But in the morning, they divide.
