(Anything But) Here And Now 02:00
lyrics
buy track
I would stand and watch the frost melt in lines on the windshield telling myself just five more months I was numbed by the winter hopeful, but not happy because everything falls into place and I still couldn't see the ground Now I'm ten feet from the ocean and I'm tasting salty air I'm gonna tread until I see land because I followed the footprints impressed into the snow and when spring came everything felt so real and I marched off a fucking cliff

This Occasion 03:15
lyrics
buy track
Purple Lights Illuminating whites My teeth are shining like a Hanukiah But Yours are brown Concealed by a frown Stained by today's seven cups of coffee I feign a smile And laugh like a child While you talk to me about how you need someone to fall back on Drinks are on me Even though it's all free The cherry flavor pulses through my bloodstream Winter works its wonders I'm not a slave to you When it comes time for summer I don't know what I'm gonna do And I dance Sweat appears on my pants And my one nice shirt that I bought just for this occasion Now it's real The joy that we all feel Think I'll get in trouble for breaking character? But I'm reminded I was blindsided So I drain my mind and fill it with something more pleasant Through muffled sighs and half-hearted goodbyes I toast over our non-alcoholic beverages

I Want To Believe The Pixar Theory 02:21
lyrics
buy track
The way your words fell, scattered across the pavement Questions manifested while you scavenged for a statement Confounded by the confidence that others have in what they believe Struggling to find some pattern in the things you perceive And I want to believe in the Pixar Theory Like I want to believe that god has a plan for me Like parties provide punctuation But what I'm longing for is a celebration You still can't drive a car without tic-ing like a second hand Clarity comes in small waves, pulls you onto dry land A momentary relapse of childhood insecurity Strikes you like a shotgun, blows you back into the sea She said to you as you collapsed on the floor In the tragic culmination of a ten year war It's hard enough just to be a person It's hard enough just to be a person It's hard enough just to be a person And it's hard enough just to be

End Of History 03:03
lyrics
buy track
An explosion of passion had given us something to live for and cause to take action with infinite sidewalks to explore We climbed on the rooftop and jumped right into the snow- an eleven foot high drop- but the cold blanket softened the blow From here on out it is all downhill Subordinate unto nostalgia’s will Though sparks will ignite there’s no flame to be seen like the one that engulfed us when we were fourteen Our apathetic existence is fueled by historical end and preoccupied presence preferring our phones to our friends We’re back in our hometown where everyone’s bitterness shows and it’s hard to have fun now Can we order a pizza and play Super Smash Bros? When all the nervous energy faded we became the people that we’d always hated By trading excitement for fear and lethargy I’d like to think that we’re much better, but are we?

A Pregnant Pause 03:52
lyrics
buy track
I've been trying hard to put this into words that you will understand There's no telling where i might run off when there's nobody there to hold my hand When I learned how to drive I was told I should stay in my lane So it's not my fault if I seem hypocritical and lame I've been trying hard to put in words the reason why I left my band It's so much easier to play it safe than it is to grow a pair and take a stand There's no action I can take that would make all the monotony go away So I sit around in silence doing nothing else as I await that day I wasted too much time trying to find the words to say That the current lifted me up while I was turned away So now I'm being carried, limbs flailing, towards the sky And as my friends look up at me I wanna cry, "Do you think I should try?" Well do you think I should?

Tinkerbells 04:41
lyrics
buy track
Stickers line the walls, they are so comforting There's a really nice eleventh story view It's weird how everyone just keeps on smiling When they don't know what more else they can do Your mother asks the question, "Are you alright, dear?" You say it's scary and surreal All your favorite people in the world are here But still I guess that's also how I would feel And I see tinkerbells Flying through the window, floating round the hospital Casting their magic spells Fixing our friends now, we'll leave you alone now I've never felt closer than I do now To people I have forced myself upon So I stand up and I take a bow Clear my guilty head and start moving on

Man In A Mask 04:27
lyrics
buy track
Elbows-- perpetually dry It always gets so cold in these parts of New York Friendships more enticing to deny When every person that you meet was raised by Pitchfork And the cute short-haired girl and her boyfriend Are walking down t he staircase hand-in-hand So I went and spent my Halloweekend Standing by the punch-bowl as a caveman And I forgot to ask, What do you see? Am I a man in a mask Or is it really me? There's this fear I've got Held subconsciously That I've not one thought not being thought for me I see brown in a grey situation That this hippy girl is in absolute control of But on the walk home from the bus-station I was certain of the beauty in the stars above And there's a mark on my arm from where I gave blood While I was trying to kill some time Developmentally like a rosebud Scales fallen off but is the stem still mine?

The Sunrise 02:05
lyrics
buy track
Waves crashing down on the shore Sun rising, bodies burnt and sore Life within a Polaroid frame The ocean and Earth's orbit seem so tame We abandoned our formalities And traded them for the ocean breeze No more school work, no more stress Too beautiful to feel depressed So at five a.m. when we go to bed The weight of the world won't be falling on my head You can go back to the way things were when you were just a little kid But right now I'm waiting for the storm And enjoying every second of it Distance from reality is relative to sanity A night on the beach is what we needed most Because we've all got scars and we've all got ghosts Fuck awards and fuck first prize No one can take away the sunrise

Dinosaur Bones 02:31
lyrics
buy track
It’s the warmest it’s been since August But still, it’s fucking cold The early Spring air is so unforgiving Walking through that park at night, I have never felt so old The unlocked gate questions my motives for living The moon disguises my memories as something new But it’s all the same Same old dinosaur bones The gang is all together now And it’s just like old times But nothing is new to us anymore Serpents and flesh-eating zombies Are hiding in the vines That try to pull us in the past and lock the door
