Tell The King

do i have your attention now
you've been dreaming of standing out
by better fitting in with the crowd
it don't make any sense to me
we're so concerned with everything
that the eye can see
Tell the king to step down
It's been coming a long time now
there is nowhere left to go
this is all i have to show
this is all i've ever known
a picket fence and overdue rent
periodic lavishments
measure out my accomplishment
and all i want in this world
is to believe that it was worth it
or at least i found some purpose
but routine wears thin
and its hard not to give in
to this abstract black that sets in
but im seeing this thing through

I'm fed up with everything and I'm fed up with dying
I'm fed up with living and all the things I'm trying.
Why do people feel better when you say they're made of stars
And why does it matter where they got their spark
because I'm afraid of fucking dying oh god yeah there I said it
and I panic when I think where things eventually are headed
so I drown those thoughts in alcohol until I forget
If my mind were an engine I would pump it full of leaded
This is the song that I should have out grown
I'm too old to be nihilistic yeah I guess I'm doing it wrong
Like a tired teen confession, except I'm 27
And nobody ever seems to give me any clear direction
It amazes me how constantly I keep up the charade
I can fool myself into making it through every single day
but eventually it catches up with me at the end of the day
then I lay in bed with anxiety hoping to make it through the day.
This is the song that I should have out grown
I'm too old to be nihilistic yeah I guess I'm doing it wrong
Like a tired teen confession, except I'm 27
And nobody ever seems to give me any clear direction
This is the song that I should have out grown
I'm too old to be nihilistic yeah I guess I'm doing it wrong
Like a tired teen confession, except I'm 27
And nobody ever seems to give me any clear direction

Blade Over Fire

this was safe like a blade over fire
the thought of being here makes me sick
and i dont need no company dont need no friends with needs
i know i've seen where that all leads
are we are we all the same
well i kept pace like a wheel on a wire
strung along like paths means shit
and i dont mean to offend but you'll go away in the end
i know i've seen where this all leads

If I can forget for a second how boring it would be
I think about a perfect world and what it means to me
sex underwater would work exactly like you think
and I wouldn't be annoyed by everybody that I meet.
This is how I know that I am just a little fucked
I like to see a car crash and I like to self destruct
The sirens are screaming and I'm running for the sound
and I know I won't be happy until I run this in the ground
Sometimes I try and it seems to work out
but then I get bored and say fuck this shit, fuck this shit
Sometimes I try and nothing works out
and I lose my stride and say fuck this shit, fuck this shit
I wake up in the morning with 15 angry texts
from 4 fucking people who say my life has gone to shit
half of them care and half are just like me
just grasping at something to break monotony
I'm done with this song because I've got my point across
and I'm starting to feel like I'm just yelling at a wall
so enjoy your fucked up shit because I know I fucking will
and fuck all the people and how they fucking feel
Sometimes I try and it seems to work out
but then I get bored and say fuck this shit, fuck this shit
Sometimes I try and nothing works out
and I lose my stride and say fuck this shit, fuck this shit
Sometimes I try and it seems to work out
but then I get bored and say fuck this shit, fuck this shit
Sometimes I try and nothing works out
and I lose my stride and say fuck this shit, fuck this shit

maybe we'll make enough money off of tshirt sales
to buy enough cocaine to kill ourselves
and well piss away everything
sell our souls to make the scene
well probably take a lot of pills and drink alot of shots
it sounds like such thrill oh im tempted at the thought
and im coming short on reasons not
its not a choice i made it's the one i've got
it's never hard to keep the faith in my feet and the pavement underneath
it's a taste in my teeth a stain in the streets good grief good grief good grief
i've never been one for jewels and clothes
maybe ill find a hole where all of that can go
and ill smile in the face of a cop
cause for once i didn't steal everything i got
wont it be alot of fun to put it all on the line
put my money where my mouth spends most of its time
im coming short on reasons not
it's not a choice we made it's the one we've got
