Blink?! 02:58
We’re heading out on the road again I got an amp, guitars, bag of weed and my best friends I don’t even wanna think about Where we’re going just as long as it’s not this town I don’t care about generic lyrics Just as long as there is something to fill in the gaps We’ll drink until we won’t think, Run from the cops, aw c’mon it was just graffiti Always I know, you’ll miss my show because you’ve missed like five of them in a row and every single time you swore you’d go You swore you’d go
2.
The dry heat doesn’t feel any different, when there's a downpour that ruins all your plans to mean something special to no specific person at no specific place or time Would you rather feel washed up or dried out? Nearly 600 miles and 1000 pit stops you’ll never get to where we’re going no matter how long you’ve tried to climb to the very tiptop of a pedestal that you’ve fathomed for yourself Midwest skate parks where we’ll get high all afternoon, on the backs of paper airplanes guiding us to our final destination and the morbid realization that we have just been flying in place in a zone of zero space
3.
Paying Gigs 02:55
You know what they say about a candle that burns at both ends, there's no question about when this will end Live fast and die young That's the motto that we’ve followed since this all begun What do you do when you're stuck in a rut? Vomit throwing up like you got punched in the gut I feel sick as I stumble my way on stage, ‘cause all you people are staring at me in the face All we need are some Paying Gigs, but we could never draw a crowd So we play until we bleed and then, we'll play until we're sick of it By the time all of this gets big, I’ll be through with all of your bullshit

Wild Flower 03:18
I drove across state lines just to meet you I listened to the radio and heard all your favorite songs 85 miles an hour, I couldn't wait to get to where you were And I would drive more recklessly and put my car over a bridge Just to be right by your side again And we won't wear our seatbelts if that's what you prefer I wouldn't mind going for a swim We'll sing and dance under the water, make best friends with all the fishes in the sea And eventually when our lungs get filled and burst wide open This would be the last thing I would say I'd rather be drowning here with you, than to be alone on fire If I said I'd prefer to burn, well you can call me a dirty liar

Rot Gut 03:00
Hey wait, we’ll try and drown it away It’s our coping mechanism on our typical day Wait please, I’m weak in the knees gets you sick to your core Just like a disease pick your poison Does he got rot gut? guess he’ll find out in the mornin Run run run right out of your head But you can’t kill what is already dead Turn your greatest fear into your worst desire It burns in your chest, like a roaring fire So pick your poison Does he got rot gut? guess he’ll find out in the mornin

~ 03:15
Fractals alter my perception I’m so far gone I don’t know which way is up Dysphoria overdrive gives me distortion in my vision Nothing is ever as it seems
7.
Cuticle Song 04:43
I could bite my nails into the quick And chew the skin off my fingertips but it won’t do any good to make me bleed They’ll claim it’s just a phase when the things that haunt you possess the way The way you stop feeling at home in your own mind I know better than anyone that It is darkest before the sun Just keep your headlights on And we’ll make it home Unwelcome sense of impending doom Coerces you to exist in the next room, forces your consciousness to go blind And I know better than anyone That what seems good for you is bad in the long run, you won’t even know until it’s gone
8.
Wall of Death Violent killing Blame the drugs Innocent man out on the run Scared for the life of my best friend Shoot him dead for the color of his skin Gacked to the Gills The man on the corner cursed at me and said “Thy God has damned thee for all of eternity” Even the world's highest bidders Can’t put a price on tranquility When what is up for auction Will only cost us our stability Base all of our fates based off of your preference for average abnormality And keep our tabs open on our number of impurities How can soulless beckoning determine my morality? As if my two cents would ever make a difference in humanity
9.
Boomtown 03:50
Appoint me to your shoulder It’s 30 degrees up there No one gives a fuck anymore About piercings and colored hair How can you be so harsh at someone you don’t know? Nobody goes to hell just for getting stoned Molotov cocktail of a temperament that you got there Chunk it through my window let it burn me up, you couldn’t care Less about the flames that will eat this world alive Erase all of our progress And march us all backwards in time When the smoke turns black and you cough your lungs up There will be no turning back There’s no coming back There’s no coming back from Devastation, your Negligence leads to It leads to Eradication Obliteration Of all our resources And natural forces Will soon wipe us out They’ll soon wipe us out
