SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE Pawn your life, throw crushed cash at it See if it goes away On this sphere, if you're too much There's something wrong with you As the Sun goes down, if you're just floating by I hope you aren't arrested 'Cause brighter days will come Sometime in the future What a guy, with his balance He's got it all figured out Bypassed all the junkies and sluts, took the high road Mediocrity must be earned You walk around, with the weight on the world on your shoulders What if everything you wished for came true tonight Blast off
2.
OH, THE THROES This is the first day of my entire life Need to untangle cause I'm the Devil now Don't let it define you, hope it's not too late Oh, the throes of the Summer Depression is all we feel, I'm apathetic Don't forget to laugh Don't be the victim, don't apologize Flip a coin, put it on display Spiraling and melting down, a town of desperation sound A histrionic plea to opt out, obligatory runaway Don't even try, don't even try From these depths I no longer see the light
3.
CONDESCENDING MAN There's an angel in the alley, here come the vultures They say destiny's a choice You've the voice of an alarm clock Hanger-on and sold You know it's a hard sell, you've got your dream scenario I do, I do, I do And you paint those pretty ones and pine for the bad blood And you take it way too far, I do, I do, I do Now I don't care about your heart, how much money do you have I think the power's out Where's my backlash from the world, where's my condescending man Emotionally void, neurotic and annoyed I'll see you off, it's all too serious when you're near It's not your fault, I'll see you next year

Cheese Check 02:22
CHEESE CHECK Already feel nostalgic for this moment Let's bet it all, I'll get you back Let's quit our jobs, let's tell 'em off Let's take whatever they offer Let's have a ball, off mortgaging your will We're all figurines, get a load of yourself Got your cheese check, time for recess Out of our minds, using our heads, into our shtick I find peace in causing problems Out for revenge, this vacation has no consequence, no Will we make it home by dawn Set it up, stack it up, stack it up, stack it up, stack that shit
5.
Perfect Son 03:55
PERFECT SON Social loud, but I have become something A fix of confidence and class, an excerpt from this book The flag was at half mast, when it first went up Now it's losing color, I met my mother and she looks like me I'm the perfect son, I'm the perfect son I'm playing Jesus All statement no question So much of so little to talk about A faceless entertainer, spilling guts to listless crowds It's the reason that you know me, why you went away I broke your spirit and turned you off So I called a girl and met her at the market It was Valentine's and she was selling souls I used to root for carnage, I used to want control There was a time when I would die for anyone who needed rope Go and preach your nothings, go bully the weak Smiling spineless through your translucent teeth You're all statement, no question about it
6.
Drama Club 03:20
DRAMA CLUB I knew a kid who spent his days in genuine malaise By design, he went bone dry broke He went upstairs, lost it all, words he had to chew By design, he had never seen the news So long golden boy, I'll show it off at drama club Be the all time penultimate clairvoyant, by design Have you ever had to pretend you were someone else By design, you were bottom of the barrel cool I'll reinvent myself, play to the vibes, start new addictions By design, I'll be your experiment Dumb it down, where a crown He worked overtime, in his thoughtless mind He died

WHERE'S THE URGENCY? Just another ride, given the times If we all believed in karma, there's no doubt we'd all be fucked It sure don't feel like Friday Are you ever anywhere There's a chance of rain, we all know that dog ain't gonna hunt Where's the urgency? Kill me now, or show me love Thinkin' about tomorrow, same as yesterday My face is to the mirror, did I waste another year Dishes piled to the sky, half finished projects I'll never be caught up, but it's okay 'cause if I did I'd waste more time than I do now Where's the urgency? I'll go for weeks wearing a mask, the image of an also-ran With a broken smile, I spent my life on the fence Teach me resolve, I'm resigned to this
8.
WHAT WAS I THINKING? What was I thinking? Just woke up Time for breakfast and my neighbor is cursing the jaywalking brother Here comes bike guy, unassuming What was I thinking, I need to work out Who's the blond, where'd she go I need someone who fucks like a celebrity I'm so average, so I'll settle, I'll date a 6 and use my imagination Suddenly they all want her, the super-bro exclaims, "I'd stab" The walls are sweating, my bio clock's ticking Everyone I know is shitting out kids All I wanted was your mind Everything I say is right

Slobberkn 03:43
SLOW BURN Look up, there are no far away nations Look down, through rage and pain We're so stuck, but you know I'll see you in an hour And of course I'll wait for you to fix your hair It's hard to keep up the fight, I'm tired Better learn to love 'cause this is a slow burn Should've been at a rave tonight Thank you for stopping me Find the crowd that keeps you grounded The singer swallows her microphone Shoots auricle rainbows from her throne Honors her youth like before we were liars The fear of response keeps us in our yards Only matters if you mean it, but you don't Starve with me forever, fight for love dreamers will survive Destination, destitution Rain or shine we're always running late, we're always late Should've been at a rave tonight thank you for stopping me Never got the one I wanted, now I'm stuck with you I don't think you're into me, I just think you're bored I've only got a few bullets left and all I can smell is stale beer and cigarettes

Ghost Thief 04:44
GHOST THIEF Clearly deceptive and past due In cahoots and bound to spin loose Strollin' felony flats on lawns of broken glass Here come the witches for the panic A blender of lights direct us to the pushpin mine fields of Eden Stay for the sunburst morning your scars will follow suit Tell some stories, tell me the unspeakable truth I miss the nihilistic nights and calls, someone stole them We will always have our day Another best sell thriller hides In the cellar, erasing minds Teleport back to the coffee porno Goddess You left your ghost waiting in the wings Now I'm a fucking thief
11.
Big Sky 04:16
BIG SKY I came through to you To find that you were blue There were no silver linings There was only doom Under a big sky you're allowed to part the darkest sea Overtime Lend me your hand, I'll lend you my ears Hardened hearts and shattered souls Go find God or something, you seem lost Our heads in the clouds as fools We live it up, up, up
12.
ALIEN ON A SOAPBOX Plagiarized, another profiting prophet For your sins, old men will rat you out Rise and fall, rise and fall Did you know women owe men sex, they better breed We've got to reproduce to feed the church's greed Alien on a soapbox, roofied us at mass Shut it down, just let go, it's a show and you're right You need direction, you needed something cool and alternative 'Cause you're burned and washed out You don't die in a tomb, just as you were ascending in your faith They closed their doors Dressed like the sixth Ramone, rock star in tow with the swagger of Sabbath He made the cold call crawl, up the sound to Nirvana Kill the cancer, gender ender, good-bye Talk down Talk, talk
