Party Time 03:16
lyrics

Fix your makeup, clean the table Try to chill out if you're able The gates been opened, there's no stopping All my asshole friends are coming You've got a lot to say, there's so much in the air Swallow it one more day, maybe we'll no longer care Somewhere out there Test your patience, try my war face Let's grow bitter, resent all of this space Turn our friend into our armies Leaving blood trails around this party Supplies for only one more drink, lets make it last the night Hoping it'll be enough to sleep without a fight For one more night I'm not angry, I'm just sober We're not giving up, it's just over Clinging to a time when this felt right Let's get fucked up, party tonight

The Game 04:03
lyrics

I'm in the back breathing in second hand smoke With the geeks, and the virgins, and the gravy ass folk I've got plenty of money, got porn on the brain Too fast, too smooth, to calm, too cool for the game We're on attack, ya we're picking up pace You can tell that we're thirsty by the glaze on our face We're not asking for honey, we're not asking for much One look, one glance, one dance, just one single touch As we move through the crow they diverting their eyes But that's just okay cuz I'm here with my guys Fine, we're taking the floor, we're forming the line Stay away girls cuz us cools dudes just dont have the time Why dont you want me, why can't you see Im not like those others dancing around me No I can't take the pity, I can't take the shame Too fast, too smooth, too calm, too cool for the game Well why the fuck did we even come here This place ain't my style, this place ain't my feel I know a little club that's a half a block away We should probably head that way because I'm now sure that this whole bar thinks we're gay Bought you a drink What did you think About that thing On TV Can't make them love me but I'll make them see That their attention means nothing to me Well I'm here with my boys, don't want no puss tonight Stay away girls but I know we don't have to ask you twice Why dont you want me, why can't you see Im not like those others dancing around me No I can't take the pity, I can't take the shame Too fast, too smooth, too calm, too cool for the game

Can't stop Not gonna flake on it now Nice dream Mind if I flush it on down I'll scream 'till I'm shaking Until I'm done And I'll bend 'till I'm breaking Until I'm done Stay hip Don't let them make you okay Bad guts They're trying to take me away I'll drink 'till I'm dizzy Until I'm done And I'll fuck 'till I'm empty Until I'm done I'll shave 'till I'm bleeding Until I'm done And I'll drive 'till I'm sleeping Until I'm done Until I'm done

My Joke 05:21
lyrics
buy track
Boring and all made up And you're about the same Sealing all the blinds shut We were born to be so lame There's laughing out the window Wish they'd all go away My joke It's all I got that's my own It's all that get them in my home I hope that I've hit my low The sun It's what tells them that they're done Well goodbye I had fun God thank fuck that that's done Trying to find the reasons I can't sleep Haven't found a thing Don't mind that's not affecting me I think that that's what scares me most the time If I don't feel alive I don't seem to mind My joke It's all I got that's my own It's all that gets them in my home I hope that I've hit my low The sun It's what tells them that they're done Well goodbye I had fun God thank fuck that that's done Be funny Be alive Be funny Be alive

Twenty Four 02:45
lyrics
buy track
I don't fuck with that punk shit was the last thing you said Joined the army, next time I heard your name you were dead But still I wonder what we'd talk about if we were to meet Driving home for Thanksgiving past your childhood home street God I hate it, when my friends all do this I don't need no nostalgia trip, I've got the internet But We Cool is still in my passenger door Cuz it's all been the same since I turned twenty four Your stupid point is retarded was the last thing I heard Before you left on the 20th, came back on the 3rd I try to take these moments to grow where I can But it's been a long time since I won against my head God I hate it, when we end up like this I'll be a better person, I'll be a better man But I can't help but feel like I've been here before Cuz it's all been the same since I turned twenty four

Take Me Home 05:25
lyrics
buy track
So it goes I read that in a book that you gave me And so you went Like a stranger I just stood there waving We set it all Out on the table A feast for two Without any flavor You've made new friends They seem alright I guess We still hang out But it just feels like a test God I need a rest At your parties it's so hard to take my hands out my pockets I can still make you laugh as if I've any other talent These days it's hard to admit that I prefer a night with strangers Than to spin the same old stories and pretend it's not over Take me home Take me home These nights seem long And they're only getting longer That morning glow I remember being stronger Than this I can't wake up On the floor Anymore So here we are Smoking cigarettes at 4 in the morning The same damn place That we've been these past 6 years God this never was the plan But when you sit on the curb with the ringing in your ear It's hard not to submit, to waste away the years Every shotgun done in hatred, every Lonestar downed in spite Thinking over and over if I died right now that's fine When it gets easy to say 'I'm sorry I couldn't make it' And the shame it goes away to say that you were way too wasted Every night spent downtown is a night that's full of wonder If you ignore the voice inside your head screaming over and over Take me home

I Never Gave a Shit 02:33
lyrics
buy track
I think if I was ever gonna say something right I would've had it out by now I guess there's always claiming that I never gave a shit As the porno people swallow me down Like a million children's steps through a grassy side street trench I'll be barren but I'm leading the charge Come and gather 'round me, they'll try to come and drown me But by then I'll be begging for the flood And they'll say Don't you worry because it's all in your head The hallow begins and ends with today Why are you still living if you wanna be dead Don't ever let them make you okay Dont let them make you Dont let them make you Don't let them make you okay There's only a couple moments that we get to exist And that's becoming hard to forget But don't let that upset you and don't let that distract you From the notion that I'm glad that we met
