I went with my friends, to see american sniper we pointed our hands at the screen like we were holding a rifle Mark and I just criticized because the movie was awful tell me if theres anything patriotic about killing innocent people i realized chris was just doing the job he was ordered for the war but in the end your only regret was that you wished you had killed more i feel somewhere inside that the whole things terribly wrong when love for your country cause hate for other ones After the movie we piled into jakes car a titantium missile three in the back seat three in the front. i sat in the middle (the bitch seat) we dropped the guys in the back off first. they left and said goodnight all three kids in the front seat, oh now what a sight on the way we passed an officer who probably thought something wasnt right he would have pulled us over, but didnt since jake is white

paranoia cause someones always watching and they care about the details and they see my shoes are muddy paranoia always thinks that i smell like cigarettes and criticizes how i hold it and asks how many i smoke a day and asks me if i want to die this way and i say seven years early sounds okay seven years early sounds okay yeah seven years early sounds okay seatbelt please buckle up your seatbelt, baby we know well enough not to trust my driving or trust what i say for the sake of surviving muscles it feels like i pulled a muscle baby youre not sure how accurate that is judging by the fact that im not crying those were my fathers they belonged to him kept high up on a shelf i couldnt reach more for his safety than mine

Lovely 02:47
my mind, in a hysterical fit got rid of twenty five cent worth relationships and we're off the cuff, and off the record i just wanna let you know that its luck i know crap music when i hear it but it was too late and your ears were bleeding id rather you not throw things in the house but ill admit thatsa lil funny even now the way the heights and pages even out i dont mean to panic but i think we're running out he says he dont care whether or not the cops roll up to our car but i do, cause i got a little something in my mason jar how come the nights where we stay up til 4 am and get too little sleep, are few and far between and how come the nights where you get drunk and doubt the status of your love, never last until the dawn you roll the ball down the alley it dont spin like it did before remember how you used to be, leonard cruel and graceful breathe the cold air for once it holds more answers than the warm air does once more round the sun there bud once more round the sun there bud youre looking over at me and the wire down my back is itching old friends going through phases in lots empty and vacant

Health 03:02
i've got a noose around my neck and im feeling pretty grateful that its not strep instead the doctors round here are great theyll give you gatorade and if youre really sick like my friends are sick, then youll get something to wash it down with do no harm they say but the pills are doing more harm than they could ever take away pharmaceutical companies never really bothered me until i stepped back and i looked at the big picture, the big picture and there are people i know, who are so far down in death row that theyre not coming back again and i dont take my health for granted anymore because im slowly becoming one of them ive got a good amount of friends and should be grateful im not dead because of them but i dont count my lucky stars because of light pollution and the ceiling over my head the ceiling over my head, i would tear it down, but im just not that kind of man i dont have the muscles, or tools or permits required for a proper demolition so i will chip away at it, chip away at it chip away at it all and there are people i know who have been living inside their Entire life and only recently have grown and i dont take my shelter for granted anymore because i only recently have felt at home

Homeowners 02:54
ian sidesteps into a house show, hes clutching a beer, yeah hes cutching a beer focus his energy downward, his hand is gripping on the outline of his phone ian's friends aren't here, theyre in a feud with the owners of the home cause once they played a show and james lippy with the owners of the home could i get your number, one of the many things that slipped my mind last night this bands a fucking disaster, i think im gonna leave before shit gets too tight this house is going under, to the sound of some lame 90s cover band he never pictured it like this, end of the world with a pbr in hand and lets be real with our selves we talk about god more than we talk about the girls that broke our hearts youre cruel, youre terrible olivia and lets be real we talk about our selves more than we talk about god or the girls that broke our hearts youre cruel, youre terrible olivia we were walking back from the creek when we saw in the field a cop-- drop your bowl off in the grass cause youre not looking for a disposition, tonight - im a man of science, id love to say im an atheist - but im scared to be wrong just like any man of science should - i wannago back in time and stop REM from becoming a band and if entirely necessary to murder michael stipe these are the measures im prepared to take to stop this conversation from ever ocurring people will pour their hearts out to you about a mediocre band while an even worse one plays looking over and just past you, i have the attention span of a rock but some metamorphic rocks have a better backstory than me

We've reached a point where only horizontal movement is possible. This is VERY serious music.
The numbers are hazy / Probably the last hurrah.

If we don't see you soon, we'll see you soon enough.
