Here we go
I'm all alone in Nashville
with a cat named Marbles
and my thoughts
I've been fucking shit up since 1991
and I don't plan on stopping now
Yeah there's days when
everything will be fine
even if I don't try
it'll just take some time
like all things do
but in the meantime
it doesn't feel right
there's not a lot for me to say
and there's no time for you
so we can just sit around
and think of things we'll never do
sometimes I like what I see in the mirror
and other times I'm looking back at me
and ya know that this is my greatest fear
that this is how it's always gonna be
then there's nights when everything is breaking
why's it always breaking?
even though I tried so hard
but I'll still wake up in the morning
and try to feel great
and kick my ass in shape
there's not a lot for you to say
there's no hope for me
so we can just sit around
and think of things that'll never be
And I think that this how it's always gonna be
yeah I hope this isn't how it's always gonna be
Oh no

Little Bags

Packed my little bags and I
walked them through the fireflies
and the 6 inch grass
and the gravel with no shoes on
and I got into that car
that took me to the airport
and I waited in line
and gave them my passport
and I have have laughed a little bit
when the agent grabbed me
THAT WAS TROUBLE
then I got in another line
and finally took my place
so
Here's to United 103
here's to the people and that plane
here's to the pilot and even the
fuel that's in the wings
normally I'd hate that part
but I will let it go
because I have to go
because I won't let go
When I got off that plane
saw her face
my heart raced
Woke up packed the car
it was 6am still pretty dark
I put light bulbs in the blankets
you thought that was pretty smart
we got into that car
that took us through the mountains
we passed lots of state lines
and dipped our heads in fountains
and I may have let you sleep too much
but that's cause
REAL GROWN UPS NEED REST
then the car was coughing
we said "it's of bud you can do it!"
so here's to that dodge 2001
here's to those people who made it run
here's to the AC spewing fumes
while fighting off the sun
normally we'd hate that part
but we will let it go
because we have to go
I hope I can let go
When I got on that stage
did my best and played
I hope that her heart raced

Life is Dumb

Sometime your power gets turned off
sometimes your beard is scratchy
sometimes car just won't start
and it makes you feel really really antsy
sometimes life is hard
but that't how you know that it's worth it
like is worth it 'cause it's hard
sometimes the check's not in the mail
sometimes it never was
sometimes you get put in the hospital
because you've got a lot of pain in your tum
sometime you've got to move really far away
even though you're gonna miss your friends
and just when you start to get really sad you realize
oh wait I have friends!

Raccoon Army
01:22

Long summer nights I lived out on that texas prairie
watching the sun and its flowers bloom
as one fades away the other only gets more brilliant
in the reflection of the dark pool
I can feel eyes on me
someones always watching me
I can feel eyes on me
2 4 6 8
I can feel eyes on me
someones always watching me
4 6 8 What's that?
from my granite throne I look out on this land I'll never own
what grateful beings, I feed them scraps and they make me their king
and all the bugs they come and do a dance around my feet
I scare the bats and they give me a crown made out of gnats
So all hail me the kind of the raccoon army
all hail me the king of the opossum court

Look I'm not the smartest one
in the room by a long shot
so why ask me what to do
as if I knew any better than you
I still run away from life on a daily basis
walking for miles and staring straight through peoples faces
memorizing facts and figures, stealing lines from better singers
hoping asking the right question is as good as having answers
I can only see
what is directly in front of me
and it it seems like I have this figured out
well I don't
Lines will never not be scary
conversations can't be carried
out with words in the wrong order
what can't sentences be shorter
I can puff my chest out
try to stand up tall
but then the world
will just keep getting bigger and bigger still
so I give my best advice
you shot it down, I guess that's just my price
for foolishly believing I could share
when in my head, it's so clear
I still run away from life on a daily basis
it used to be walks
now it's hopping planes
so what's the difference?
say in looking for perspective
seeking out the prime directive
am I really asking questions
ever really finding answers
pushing a monolith

17 Days

It took me 17 days to run away
and 4 more to make a friend
it took me 20 some years and so many beers
to finally feel ok
ok
it took 120 hours but now I know
that I'm not a waste of time
it took 40,000 dollars and I'm sure you'll laugh
but now I know I have a mind
a little green light can run my life
no matter how I fight
yeah you say that your heart is like a fist
well those can carry knives
There's a bar
down the street
that non of us have been to
and if we go
the worst thing that could happen
is we'd know for sure
that it sucks
my buddy used to pop so many pills
down in Tampa Bay
but he kicked that shot and still rocks so hard
I love him for it more everyday
And Nick could've climbed Mt. Everest
but now I think he's stuck
so say, I will never let my arrogance
keep me from showing up
I can still see Eugene
lying lifeless on that hospital bed
I can;t stand his wimpers
so in my heart I swear he said
If I wake up in the morning
I will not regret
I will not forget
