Off Today 03:52
lyrics

Off Today I’m feeling off today Not much has been accomplished I’ve got really bad aim targets keep multiplying The world keeps spinning round I’ll get it right, next time it passes I’m feeling off today My soul is a bit shaky Can’t carry my own weight I think I might be drowning The world keeps spinning round I’ll get it right next time it passes Find a way To make it through the day Find a way I’m feeling off today Thinking about tomorrow Harder than yesterday I can’t keep going like this The world keeps spinning round I’ll get it right next time it passes Got my head in the clouds, so I can’t see nothing Doesn’t matter at all, cause the controls are all busted Got my head in the clouds, so I can’t see nothing at all The world keeps spinning round I’m getting motion sickness The world keeps spinning round But I don’t want off of this The world keeps spinning round I’ll get it right, next time it passes By, bye-bye, bye-bye Next time it passes by bye-bye, bye-bye Next time it passes by bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye

Back to Bed 02:19
lyrics

Back to Bed I just woke up and Drank some coffee My mind is drifting My eyes are floating I just woke up and Went through the motions I’ve got no time For feeling emotions I've done the best that I can It's time to go back to bed I just woke up and Fell out the car door Walked to the office Real life's a real bore Asked my barista For a fuel injection There’s an IV standing Right by my desk, man So tired of walking in my sleep I've got no time to dream All I need Is some peace of mind Choosing battles has become a way of life It’s so hard Not to run and hide

Back in Time 03:06
lyrics

Back in Time If I could go back in time That might be very nice But I’d bet anything I couldn’t change a thing A different dentist chair For the same old rotten teeth A different dead end job For the same old keep You never know anything Until it’s come and gone, gone, gone, gone Stumbling in the dark You’re bound to break something you never know your heart Until it’s been tested You can have the world in your hand But keep it clenched in your pocket A chance you didn’t take Could be worth a million dollars You never know anything Until it’s come and gone, gone, gone, gone Higher Isn’t always better You might just find yourself A new set of problems You can never escape from You can never escape from everything If I could go back in time That would be very nice

Not Going Out 02:29
lyrics
buy track
Not Going Out The right song Can make me feel invincible This sound in my ear Is indispensable A bad day And all I’ve got is something To prove I’m not going out On a note like this Put it on repeat So that my heart will never quit The right words Will leave me wanting more and more This kind of meaning An illusion I could fall for Just pull me up Before I fall apart on the floor Is progress just fiction? Leading up to nuclear war I’m not going out On a note like this Put it on repeat So that my heart will never quit I’ll take the good with the bad At least I know I’m alive If I’m happy or sad I’ll take the good with the bad Just gonna keep on giving it Keep on giving it all I’m not going out on a note like this Put it on repeat So that my heart won’t quit I’m not going out So I’m never letting up again

If I Ever Wake Up (w/Intro) 03:49
lyrics
buy track
IF I EVER WAKE UP If I ever wake up There’s gonna be some sights to see I shouldn’t keep biding time While time runs out on me Life is like a landslide As it picks up speed If anyone could sleepwalk through train wreck It’s probably me Carry on But don’t Get caught on a breeze You'll float away Before It’s time to leave Sometimes you’ve got to detach From an unpleasant scene A life of obligation Is a bitter thing Shut down your brainwaves But don’t forget yourself A little lapse of reason Only multiplies itself Carry on But don’t Get caught on a breeze You'll float away Before It’s time to leave I can’t be alone with these shadows encroaching and All of these echos keep Calling me Calling me Away

If I Get Shot Down (Bonus Track) 02:43
lyrics
buy track
If I Get Shot Down Hey, mama, if I get shot down In the middle of the road Gun maker will go laughing to the banker His stock value will explode Hey, mama, if I get shot down Please don't have any fear Today's modern, hi-tech sporting rifle Will protect us from deer Who needs an Islamic insurgency We kill ourselves by the truck load Hey, mama, if I get shot down In the middle of the road Will it make a dent in anything Other than your soul? In any distant, abstract conversation There are a lot of unknowns Things seldom ever seem concrete Until the ones you love are involved Who needs an Islamic insurgency We kill ourselves by the truck load Hey, children Going off to high school Please don’t have any fear
