Daybeers 03:03
I used to hate the smell of it before I started drinking, but Everyone does the things they can to make it through the day Like the kid who's doing lines inside a gas station in Denton Through a scratch off that he bought and wondering how we got this way And I'm not sure if I hate my job or if it's just that I hate working but the difference between old friends is that I'll never let it turn me cause no pension, pay or benefits are worth the weight of knowing that I'm settled, stuck and in too deep to leave And so I'm gonna live everyday like we'd never gotten older and got the lives and jobs that drowned our plans and made us all sober to it seems like fucking everything, but alcohol and songs we sing about the days before we got this way I guess maybe, the day will come when I'll no longer be someone who has to steal shit from work so I can make ends meet But, until these shit songs pay the bills, I'm gonna take home what I will and you can try to guilt me, but you don't look at your receipts So, I'm gonna live every day like we'd never gotten bitter And got the kind of cynicism that we always had considered to be the root of everything of what we never want to be But, somehow we still ended up this way We're gonna do what we need to be happy With no regard for when you say we're wrong There's not a fucking thing that we are lacking We should have been doing this all along

I think I'm ready for it to stop raining feels like I haven't left the house in near a goddamn year I'm not built to be a shut in reduced to wake and work and sleep and spend and broke again Before we turn around we'll all be 40 In front of TV sets under the weight of our regrets If there's anything that's worth regretting It's getting up everyday and not "what iffing" anything I will remember everything Every drunken word that we yell and scream and sing every faded house that I got to live my dream in At least I got to live my dream IT'S BEEN A GOD DAMN YEAR

I never want to have to wonder So I put everything away They all got comfortable and tired I know that's not the thing for me I get romanticized by sayings All of those dumb, little cliches It's true, that "I'm scared of not living" "Where my head lays is home to me" So, bury me among the houses The day the singing dies away I'll die a cowards death before the day I'll speak the words "Oh, man I really miss those glory days" Maybe I'll hope to do this over Maybe I'm just a dumb cliche' While this is something you got over It still means everything to me

Van, Forever 03:07
I've got a journal. I put down everything we did You've given me plenty to write Drunk in Wisconsin, shooting rockets off in the woods The ways we'd make it through the night We climbed a silo back home, it felt so infinite. Kicked out, your stepmom lent a ride And on the ride home, I thought of everyone we knew who gave up well before their time When I'm home, I get sick of the trite, uninspired, recycled bullshit And boring conversations about "the back when" It makes no sense to me to be dead eyed at 23 Making cash, waiting for life to happen Heaven's a basement show in Pennsylvania Hell's back home giving up with you I'd rather be stuck in a van forever Than, never see anything through

I was sweeping up the grounds inside a coffee house when You said something that really struck me I was bummed on me and mumbling something about the trash While you were talking bout the hungry They were cutting off the water in Detroit the same day That we had our conversation The one about all of the kids that they were trying to turn away Because of biased legislation You were talking up a storm Yeah, you were really angry about something that I was saying I think it was something along the lines of 'knowing where you come from. We've never known subjugation.' The problem's not that I'm too left wing for my own good It's that, it's not that hard losing empathy Sometimes all it takes is a conversation over coffee to break the spell of being pacified and lazy Yeah, I'm a pacifist but I wanna set fire to What makes you comfortable and give you what we got from you Kick down your podium and never let things get this bad again Not sure what I believe, but I've got hope in anarchy Cause, if it's against you, than I know it's the thing for me Me and all of my friends-we've got everything that we need without you

I was born on a Friday in the middle of October and now I'm 23 years older and still don't know a fucking thing And I've been filling my days dreaming change around the have-nots, talking trade blockades and road blocks but never doing anything And I've been spending my time in a hospital off 30 and I never shake the worry that I'll be coming back again. And I know I'm not ready to live a life without my father and it's hard to fucking bother, on these days with anything, but you're alright It was a Monday on the day you left your body, with your wife out in the lobby and your daughter on the way And it feels like it's been a week since the times that you'd tell me, "You're alright, kid. I don't care what the people say" I can remember all the days in spring that we had, watching storms outside with Granddad. It's how we used to fill the days I guess it's better that we said goodbye in springtime, and I think of you all the time. And no one had a bad thing to say Cause You're Alright.
