Blink?!

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

Paper Airplanes
02:01

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
