One day I will grow wings
One day I'll fly towards distant stars
And you won't see me here
You won't see me here
Anymore
One day I will find true love
One day I'll find true love
Just you wait and see
And I'll build a house
To protect it from the sea
Just you wait and see
One day I will grow wings
One day I'll fly towards distant stars
And you won't see me here
You won't see me here
Anymore

It's not the end, my friend
I know it feels a bit insane
It's just a new chapter of life
Your head hangs low with thoughts of demise
Are you who you want to be?
Will you be brave enough to show up?
The crossroads of life are a living hell
The crossroads of life are a living hell
A living hell, yeah!
Are you who you want to be?
Are you the one who turns the key?
It's all a bit insane, it's all a bit insane
See you at the crossroads, see you at the crossroads, see you at the crossroads

sell! sell!

I hope you enjoyed track two
It was simply the best that I could do
I regrettably inform you that the rest of this album is all filler
No killer
I've told you everything I can tell
I'm a one-trick pony with some merch to sell
The next album's gonna be so much worse
I'll blow all my money on stupid shit you won't reimburse
And I'll lament the fact that you're a fan of mine
Friends and bandmates will get sick of hearing me whine
So it's time to sell, to sell, to sell
To sell, to sell, to sell
Sell out, yeah, motherfucker!

confused

Lost in a big machine
Is there any kind of hope for me?
Perpetually stuck in the past
Someday I'm gonna kick my own ass
Looking for a place I belong
Here in this bedroom for so very long
Everywhere I go, something is wrong
Guess I'll write another shitty song
I'm so confused
About what to do
Maybe another 10 years I'll get my head right
It's been a losing fight
I really like fallin' in love
It's a lovely, horrible distraction
'Cause I haven't got a plan of action
In too deep with no satisfaction
I really like to make people happy
Someday I'll make myself really happy
I don't know what else I should do
To escape from this planetary zoo
I'm so confused
About what to do
Maybe another 10 years I'll get my head right
It's been a losing fight
I really really hate my job
My soul's sucked out by the hour
Trapped in this daily cycle
The situation's gotten awfully dour
I often think about what it'll be like
When I'm not here anymore
More often than I'd like to admit
Could I just say fuck it and quit?
More importantly, how are you?
Is there anything that I can do?
I'll do anything for you
And everything will be so fine
I'm so confused
About what to do
Maybe another 10 years I'll get my head right
Another 10 beers to get ahead, right?
Spiraling down the drain to nowhere
I'm so confused and there's nothing left to do
I'm so fucking confused, I don't know what to do!

killing time
02:05

If you wanna lay around
Don't let your brains fall through the ground
There's a trail of blood
You don't look so well
Are you alone?
Or did you find somebody else instead?
We're killing time, let's keep the pace
Masturbating before we hit first base
My lips feel dumb
Against a boring tongue
Bloody and sick
There is no joy among this bliss
Let myself fall through the earth
My rotted trails under the dirt
Are filled with shame
Pulsing and black
Please take me out of this
I really don't want to go back

coolest summer
03:01
|
|||
|
We slit our throats
To stay so cool for the summer
Bleeding out onto the floor
Engulfed in flames, misery, and pain
You will not find me
Anymore
You will not find me
Anymore
This is the life that you chose
And you will never see
That side of me again

you are the moon
02:25
|

|
You, you are the moon
Before the morning light
Tossing, turning
Thoughts of you
Smiling, happy
Cosmically divine
These lonesome thoughts
Get out of control
Swept up in nothing or infinity
A curious muse you've come to be
This distance is a curse
Or is it for the best?
Lying here, alone
Dreaming
Wondering
How things
Could be
How they could be
You, you are the moon
You, you are the moon
And if you're singing, I'll sing too
When you're feeling blue
And if you're singing, I'll sing too
If you're singing, I'll sing too
When you're feeling blue
I'll be with you, too

I told you I really can't sing
And I might've shared a bit too much
But we've reached the end of the album
Thank you all so very much
Yeah it's been a long time coming
And I could've made it better
I hope this was worth some effort
Now I must be moving on
In this end, it's only beginning
Something good will surely come
Maybe I'm here for a reason?
Too bad I make myself look dumb
With all my dreams and all my delusions
I'm uncertain of the coming fall
Drifting through the far unknown
There's no sense in traveling alone
I'd like to gaze through my future
And see everything ahead
I've been stuck at the hellish crossroads
Confused and often misled
There's a great plan here somewhere
If you're willing to listen
I hope you all find your purpose
But for now I must be moving on
And it's okay to cry about it
We'll be together again real soon
And it's okay to laugh about it
Whatever it takes to get you through
And it's okay
And it's alright
We'll be together again some other time
And it's okay
And it's alright
When it's dark and cold out there look for some light
