The Sims 02:44
Whatever happened to cable shows The parties that your Ma' would throw You hid your treasure behind the bush that still grows The planes pass by overhead The tools grow rusty in their shed Are you still dreaming in the same bed When we would shut ourselves in All night just playing the Sims The time we've wasted on a world That doesn't even exist It doesn't even exist Whatever came of the student loans The old apartments and broken phones I'll take what I can get Call it a home The moldy couches and broken glass Collecting change, working for cash Been searching my whole life For a feeling that lasts And we would shut ourselves in All night just playing the Sims The time we've wasted on a world That doesn't even exist It doesn't even exist

Other People 03:41
Gold streamers brushing up against my head New Year is coming up for the kids And we never sit too close except when we lay in bed Wait 'til the party's dead And I live a life of the tightest thread Quiet train in the morning, the night finds me back in bed And all of the things in between you so easily forget Slipping trough your hands, there's nothing to be said Let's just talk about the other people in our lives Talk about the other people and what they're like The smoke in the room hangs low, you breathe it in just to love me There's something dark in my heart that spreads until I feel nothing Some things change, find you living with regrets Cover it with a kiss and flick the roach in the sink And now we think about the other people as we close our eyes 'Cause thinking 'bout the other people still gets us high And still I never wanna know the things that are floating through your mind Love is better blind

Americana 04:10
Feels like it's slipped so far Black tar where our backyard used to be Said it was for the money But we never saw a goddamn penny Slept in the car again It's past ten, you found my stash out in the shed And I know I've made my bed But I can't rest with voices in my head saying Whoever promised we'd have all we wanted And you'd be on the radio singing Feels like I'm being haunted Could dried up marijuana be planting all these thoughts in my head Or is it the ghost Americana again Feels like I went too far I totaled the car, these kids never look when they cross the street You say you saw the news today They're looking for someone with a face a lot like me I never promised we'd have all we wanted And you'd be on the radio singing Feels like I'm being taunted with pills I never wanted Without 'em I can't get outta bed I'm seeing the ghost Americana again

Sage 03:46
Chip on your shoulder what a waste Things could've gone another way You feel older every day Is a piece of you still locked away Will you find him in your room And once more pull him from the dark Or would you let him fall apart If it meant you could restart Walking the streets you find a feeling that you knew before The memory of him faded smiling at you in the liquor store The plans that you made, the ring that you wore Are all but broken now Will you find him in your room And once more pull him from the dark Or would you let him fall apart When it's already slipped so far From who you were to what you are When you could say what you thought Do what you want Get stoned in your car And drink in the park Make love on the roof at night And watch the sun rise Singing a sad song That everybody knows

I have seen the frozen skyline I have stumbled in the wake Of a swollen sun beating bright On the blacktop in Winter's Maze Pages torn out or turned Cigarettes broken or burned I remember the space where the mall was still a creek bed before the earth was overturned Oh what you do to me You know it hurts so gracefully These aching bones have come to know The bruise that makes them feel at home Oh what you give to me You take it so easily And it feels like new when you walk in the room If it were warmer maybe I'd have the sense to leave

Townie 490 02:20
Leaning on a cigarette I hope to do my best To sort through all this mess can sometimes feel like a test Dreaming on a side street gutter Cracked windows and crooked shutters 'Cross the bridge glows the city I love the highway view 'cross the water And I took it stoned I took it straight But it slipped through my hands either way Crushed a pill, breathe the dust Through the haze I still wake up today I shoot the shit down at the bar with the bugs Cheap whiskey, the smoke stained musk Another weekend I'm stretching my luck Another twenty-five bucks And I took it stoned I took it straight But it slipped through my hands either way Crushed a pill, I'm just looking for a change Think I'll find it today And I took it stoned I took it straight But it slipped through my hands either way Crushed a pill but it all ends the same I still wake up today

You spend the nights putting money in our pockets And in the morning I wait up for you I don't mind waiting outside With your kid in the back, my feet up on the dash When our wallet's in the black That's the day we paint her bedroom blue A bat of your lash can make a grown man cry You never give any more and you charge 'em for your time And the cops don't mind, they're at the front of your line They're knocking at your door, coming back for more I told my mom we don't say 'whore' But she still won't let us spend the night Oh, you're my Sweet Caroline We get your pills on the government's dime And the rest we deal in cash Lord I hope these savings last From all these broken men you're working on When no one other will I guess we all gotta pay the bills

On your way Under darkness tagging trains The night is lost Dead weight gets tossed In these towns you're just another face You lost your place Skipped town, never left a trace You made a simple plan No one would understand Another life you swore you wouldn't waste Break into the Hall of Songs where you belong The melodies you've always sung Have left their mark on your tongue There are parts you play and there are ones you become She went to school Tied to the chain you were still serving food It wasn't ever the same Since you gave him a name No more time for you to play the fool On your way Missed another birthday You sing a simple song The spare change you live on Sometime you swear you can see his face Break into the Hall of Songs where you belong The melodies you've always sung Have left their mark on your tongue There are parts you play and there are ones you become

Call 05:19
So many ways I feel different every day Every simple mistake Leaves its wrinkle on my face I can't remember just where I was Everyone was playing Candy Crush Old music was playing from above And I felt tired So call me tonight Call me what you like My name is beside the point 'Cause words leave spaces devoid of the light Thick with wicked roots all planted in my sleep last night Fever dreams in my head A sickly sermon I once read The rules to balance that halo on your head You gotta break the last just to follow the next So call me what you like Call me tonight My name is beside the point 'Cause words leave spaces devoid of the light Thick with wicked roots all planted in my sleep last night
