Palmetto 03:07
I've never claimed to be a five star man Never been the best at anything It's never stopped me from trying my best It's never made me feel like I was worthless If it was the only thing I had to change I would If it was the only thing I had I would Palmetto trees don't make for the best shade but I don't blame them for making me sweat If they can rise up against the strongest ocean breeze I can still make something real out of me I built a sandcastle in the rain Fragile and temporary Let it all wash away Let it all wash away We'll start again

Half Baked 03:45
restless thoughts destination nowhere longest days without any time to spare searching for a certain kind of spark maybe this one's just half baked red eyes I'm sinking into the couch I coughed up my lungs until I couldn't breathe anymore I still don't feel enlightened Searching for a certain kind of spark Maybe this one's just half baked found the spark turned the page dawn arrives how did I work so long searching for a certain kind of spark maybe this one's still half baked

Some might say they do it for justice some might say they do it for love But I know that's not always true I don't know why we do the things we do Ain't that a shame Some might say they do it for country some might say they do it for themselves and I have to hope thats true Even if they don't know what they do Ain't that a shame Dead men can never speak again Their truth is made by somebody else too many kids without a chance to be themselves too many men without a chance Ain't that a shame
5.
Motionless my mind is suspended like a cymbal thoughts crashing into my skull subject is always you Everything is the way it's supposed to be broken glass cause everything is broken and smashed you're thinking its time to hit the road but the rubble in which I live is still our home everything is the way it's supposed to be speechless sewn shut with the threads of your soul nothing needs to be explained here if I have to I'll take off alone everything is the way it's supposed to be

Fade 03:34
Found myself alone in a forest today Decided to stop and rest for a while As those leaves fell around me I came to realize I'm fading away Found myself alone on a beach today Sun was beating down my bare back As those waves crashed around me I came to realize I'm fading away Found myself alone on a mountaintop World stretched out for miles below me As I took this all in I came to realize I'm fading away
7.
Pretension 04:13
You've gotta stop looking at me with those expecting eyes We might be equals here but I'm doing just fine I thought I was alright on the ground But something in my head turned me around These days I'm shooting myself while you're shooting the breeze Air blows out your head with the greatest of ease My head is full of lofty ambitions Now conversing with you is an act of contrition You wanna follow and I wanna lead And besides I've got a massive ego to feed All I want is the world at my fingertips Word of god sitting on my lips And I'll be smiling through my teeth While I'm dying underneath You say I should expect the worst Well I'm going out with a burst You're never going to see me You're never gonna see me the same way again Stop I don't want you to cry But these days I don't see you and I on the same page We've been tossing and turning for days I'll play the god and she'll play the preacher She says she believes but I know I can't reach her This world is mine no reason or rhyme and I can't find the reason To take the time to explain to you Who you're talking to, It's all that I'm willing to do

A fading flicker of light as some fake punk tries to be convincing that all of life is too hard and we deserve it all I find that hard to believe They're yelling into a microphone and wearing spikes and leather but i don't really think it's working cause last week I saw a prep school girl in white converses and my doctor's wearing doc martens You say you're looking for something to believe in I wouldn't listen to a word I have to say I'm moving in reverse back to my house as cars zip by the other way I think I'm feeling sick from everything I read I've been jaded since I was 23 Maybe it's from all the trophies I just got for trying They're in a box gathering dust just like yours I've never really had to work that hard God I've never really worked that hard You say you're looking for something to believe in I wouldn't listen to a word I have to say we've had everything we've ever needed for all our lives but we're still not satisfied So I'll drink until I become another person And I'll regret this more in the morning I'm still not working very hard God I've never really worked that hard You say you're looking for something to believe in I wouldn't listen to a word I have to say
