Treason :/ 01:45
Waiting for something that's not gonna happen If the future's at all worth repeating there's no use in reason there's no good in Treason Waiting for someone to solve all my problems

Happens to the best of us Been a long time since i felt your touch Sitting on my hands till the blood cuts off and they both go numb I gotta stop comparing myself to every other human that opens their mouth Sinking down a cocktail of self depication is wearing me out Oh I try to keep a tab on all my friends but I'm just so damn busy these days Do trees even make a sound falling in the forest when no one's around? Pin this to the top of your Facebook profile Ensuring that it's found My stress is at an all time high Crawl into a ball but I promise I'm fine Wish I could undo all these knots in my stomach and detoxify Oh I try to keep a tab on all my friends but I'm just so damn busy these days

Sauce Song 04:17
Trying your best is easier said than done You live on your own until the feeling's gone Well we sat at the back of the Wollongong house as a figure stepped inside & from that moment we were sure that this four eyed freak would save our lives Well I'm not the superstitious type No one said that he was gone Well I'm not the one for conspiracies No one said that he was gone My diet's a mess - the van speaks for itself And how many bags of fast food can I eat before I wreck myself? Well we moved to the front of that Wollongong house as a figure sent us a smile & from that moment we were sure that this friend would change our lives for a while Well I'm not the superstitious type No one said that he was gone Well I'm not the one for conspiracies No one said that he was gone (should've made a break for it)

MPH 02:51
All the cubes in my cup had melted into water. I was sitting in the Commodore waiting for my motor. Top of 39 degrees you could swear that it was warmer. All the secondhand embarrassment I felt filled the quota. It's another daydream wasted on a car I wish I bought with all the money I spend on feeling dumb. Like a problem child that never did you favours. Took your credit card on a weekend splurge at Savers. And it's times like these I find myself to be spiritual. I was harnessing heaps more emotional pain than physical. It's another daydream wasted on a car I wish I bought with all the money I spend on feeling dumb.

Well I’m right back on my bullshit 3am in the morning Heaps too early to function - I thought Who Did This? xD Then I took one step in the kitchen Pour the milk in my bowl Spill it all on the floor And I thought - Who Did This? xD It’s the same repeating (in my head) Well there's thousands of people dying Every waking moment Put it all in perspective You problems don’t exist You’re just an unfinished piece of the jigsaw At the back of the party No one bothered to finish Oh but you insist It’s the same repeating (What was I thinking?) (What would you say?) (If all your problems never went away?) You’re holding me down Down to the ground (What was I thinking?) (What would you say?) (If all your issues never went away?)

Easter 2012 01:12
Easter 2012 (or maybe 09?) Pubescent blonde Incandescent room A Borders shop Just outside of Philly Wide eyed Jet lagged Desperately needing to piss I limp to the front counter Politely asking where the toilet is & with a look of slight confusion the staff member nods We weave through the aisles Rush of relief As I follow this angel To my bladder oasis The ascending staircase Each step a touch more Painful than the last But suddenly We stop mid aisle The staff member turns back to say “Here you go” As they start to walk away I start to realize Exactly what had happened They thought I had actually asked for a Twilight Instead of a toilet. We had walked Across the entire store Just to stop at an aisle Filled with Twilight DVDs Rather than the bathroom.

Being a product usurps being a prodigy I wish that someone told me that Before I got to 23 and the weight was lifted off my back Is there not even a shred of human decency Inside that little brain of yours? Working all the dials Take your conscious off the beaten track So let's take a ride on that lazy susan A pretty face is not a personality I'm all the proof you ever need The Target staff refused to let me give my ugly face mask back It's coming up to our three year anniversary I wish that someone told me that The memories we make today will last longer than a heart attack So let's take a ride on that lazy susan

Flowerbed 02:32
What in god's name have you done to our son? Such a difference since the rapture's been and gone A shirt on my back and a rhyme inside my head It's all I need to make another month in rent We are mostly proud of all the things you've done for him Cut out most of the verse and repeat that line again Never cleaned up my side of the flowerbed Why don't you try to avoid the internet as best as you can? It's full of fractured realities and toxic content We are mostly proud of all the things you've done for him

I haven’t seen much of my kitchen lately We just sit and watch all the veggies grow Been 10 months since I paid my bond And its worn me down like a violin bow Constant movement back and forth Could you text me back when you get the chance? Same pair of PJs for 4 days straight I’m just another victim to the default dance There's a stack of plates right behind my PC From all the toast I consume per hour Could stack them each in a matter of minutes Or i could make my recluse Jenga tower People dream of going places Like London, England or Paris, France But the one thing that I truly hope for Is a looser grip from the default dance Its a fine line between lounge and lazy Don't pull me up till I know for sure 8 hour Youtube compilations Wear me down till my eyes get sore What if all this was pointless? A future left unenhanced By the prospect of an early grave when I sell my soul to the default dance?
