At The Time

I saw the future from across the street
Jumping in a Volkswagen
That the dude thought was sweet
And then again in my buildings courtyard
I was sweaty and depressed
Running myself hard
At the time
I Felt Alright
Around then we got bacon and eggs
Remember showing up and thinking I was late
Because everyone got there a little early
Yeah the point of the breakfast was to check on me
At the time
I Felt Alright
At the time
I Felt Alright
See i was doing better
But also doing worse
Running everyday was a blessed curse
I lost sixty five and still pinching fat
I Dizzy and angry
How did I miss that
At the time
I felt alright
At the time
I Felt Alright

Little Regret
03:32

Living in sin never felt so good
Like a stumble from a bar at twenty years old
To a car, waiting to take me home
Dizzy and spinning, warm in my bed
I don't work in the morning, no overhead
Life's cheap, no stress and no grief yet
Because I'm feeling like i did at twenty when nothing had gone wrong yet
Back when I'd make my choices and feel such little regret
I'm feeling like i did at 20 when nothing had gone wrong yet
Back when I'd make my choices and feel such little regret
See i was waiting for it to drop
The other shoe on the floor, the same old plot
I've know, time after time
You shifted your plans but you never jumped ship
On who you were
yeah you don't quit On me
Consistency means the most to me
Because I'm feeling like i did at twenty when nothing had gone wrong yet
Back when I'd make my choices and feel such little regret
I'm feeling like i did at 20 when nothing had gone wrong yet
Back when I'd make my choices and feel such little regret
I'm feeling like i did at twenty when nothing had gone wrong yet
And not cause my world is perfect, hell I got so much debt
Depressed I know that i can lean on you and feel no regret
I didn't think it'd feel so good to be treated with respect
I'm feeling like i did at twenty when nothing had gone wrong yet
Back when I'd make my choices and feel such little regret
I'm feeling like i did at twenty when nothing had gone wrong yet
Back when I'd make my choices and feel such little regret

Consequences
02:47
|

Do you remember where we rode our bikes
At the end of adleman drive
Tore my shins up on the pedals
fifteen stitches
scars for life
slowly covering the gouges, left in my flesh, with tattoos
coloring the indents, left in me by you
Consequences
here to bite me in the ass
Consequences
reminding me of my past
like falling out of bed in my thirties
nerve damage from trying to keep pace
skipped my piano lessons to hit the skate park that day
well i fell and broke my leg, drove myself to the hospital
two surgeries, pins and plates
Just to make myself whole
Consequences
here to bite me in the ass
Consequences
reminding me of my past
Consequences
here to bite me in the ass
Consequences
reminding me of my past
Like when we used to climb our old schools
Getting chased by cops just yesterday
Getting sold a bag of stems for forty
you won't catch me dead calling those the good old days
arthritic, aches and pains
my knees telling me to quit
My body bent out of shape from what i did when I was a kid
Consequences
here to bite me in the ass
Consequences
reminding me of my past
Consequences
here to bite me in the ass
Consequences
reminding me of my past

Come Clean

it's just puppy love
but she's got enough pets
so take your lumps
you teenage wreck
we listened to pop punk
misogynistic drek
finding comfort in clichés
that were incorrect
I Hate the part of me
that acted that way
id burn the body
and forget those days
I got to be alright
if you're not okay
I was a shitty friend
yesterday
that's an explanation but not an excuse
for the ideals we echoed
and the hate we spewed
we hid behind boys will be boys
no regard for what I said
It still mortified me
how easy it was to say i wish you were fucking dead
I Hate the part of me
that acted that way
id burn the body
and forget those days
I got to be alright
if you're not okay
i was a shitty friend
yesterday
Growing up means
Accepting fault
Realizing it's not always simple like you thought
Yeah they might be assholes
But it could be you
Maybe you're the reason they stopped calling to say they missed you
I Hate the part of me
that acted that way
id burn the body
and forget those days
I got to be alright
if you're not okay
I was a shitty friend
yesterday

Better Than Yesterday
02:52
|

we all got our vices
faces buried in devices
seeking validation from anyone
now you're starting a fifth beer
pretending you can quit here
no one called it addiction because you were young
but the parties fade, and your youth slipped away
I was sick of holding on, slowly rotting away
Now I'm doing a little better
better than yesterday
Now I sleep a little better
better than yesterday
Now I'm feeling a little better
better than yesterday
There's no harm treating yourself
better than yesterday
now I'm staring in the mirror
wondering how we got here
an aging punk slowly going gray
but as the years past
stability came and contrasts
the way I used to explain your shit away
not gonna apologize, for old bullshit and lies
done covering up for you the whole damn time
Now I'm doing a little better
better than yesterday
Now I sleep a little better
better than yesterday
Now I'm feeling a little better
better than yesterday
There's no harm treating yourself
better than yesterday
It's never too late to change your ways
Living a little better goes a real long way
Now I'm doing a little better
better than yesterday
Now I sleep a little better
better than yesterday
Now I'm feeling a little better
better than yesterday
There's no harm treating yourself
better than yesterday

Fences
03:58
|

they say good fences make good neighbors
but I don't wanna see you over the picket
and I'm not writing you a love song
but I'd love if you'd give a shit
cause my ego and greed
intersect at a point that's dear to me
my crippled self esteem
yeah I've been prideful and wrong
holding falsehoods close to my chest for way to long
way too long
now that I'm older I can see
everything I did that brought hell down upon me
it was me
stubborn and hot in the core
piss and vinegar, trying to settle the score
with anyone
life’s not personal
hurt people hurt
and you just got to let go
or fall down the hole
because the hate in my gut
makes me bitter
and all the doors it shut
just think what
you're missing
if you hold on
for way too long
Way to long
they say good fences make good neighbors
So I guess I'll smile over the picket
And I'm not needing a love song
To know that you give a shit

Eatin' It

I got a knot in the pit of my stomach after getting off the phone with you
See I didn't think about what i said and now I'm feeling kind of pissed off too
It's just a gut reaction, My defensive nature
easier to be upset than own up to my failure
got a knot in the pit of my stomach after getting off the phone with you
Passive me
Aggressive you
Having my cake and eating it too
Passive me
Aggressive you
I’m so damn tired of the shit you do
I've thought about smacking you in the mouth almost a hundred times
But that's only cause you manage me keep track of plans, correcting my one track mind
Oh I hate when you point out, I just made a pivot
Jumping ship on our plans, no communication
I've thought about smacking you in the mouth almost a hundred times
Passive me
Aggressive you
Having my cake and eating it too
Passive me
Aggressive you
I’m so damn tired of the shit you do
I got a knot in the pit of my stomach after getting off the phone with you
Passive me
Aggressive you
Having my cake and eating it too
Passive me
Aggressive you
I’m so damn tired of the shit you do

Enough
02:54

Caught up in familiar patterns
Staring down a rabbit hole
I’ve overcommitted my schedule
And i Haven't seen you since god knows
I stopped running and watching my diet
My social life is at an all time low
The days are shorter and I'm feeling weaker
When I see the deadlines on my phone
Yeah I, I’ve had enough
But trust, i haven't given up
I, I've had enough
But trust, I haven't given up
On you
On you
I remember it being so easy
To keep myself on track
used to be able to Vomit a chorus
With a blind trust you'd sing it back
The way forward feels so unclear
What's the path and the words to say
That I'm doing better than back then
but I dropped to ball on my day to day
Yeah I, I’ve had enough
But trust, i haven't given up
I, I've had enough
But trust, I haven't given up
On you
On you
Sometime I wish it was still easy
But I won't cling to the past
You got to grow and change perspective
Or you'll do the same things and it won't last
