But I'm not complaining

I want to believe that there’s something out there, for just a little this time
I love you so much, but does it make sense to stop and sing it like this? Well hell I guess I am
How peculiar that we’ve paved over everything and built walls to keep each other apart
But I’m not complaining, I don’t trust anyone. I’m gonna lock my doors
Until the coming of Christ, or aliens, whatever happens first we’ll all be right here.

Is any of this making sense to anyone else?
Its so hard to write honest lyrics when you’re thinking of every line
And these poor excuses for poetry are the constant output
Is my brain the only one going haywire with an operating system that’s flawed?
Good God why isn’t anyone honest with this?
There is no need to make up gods and heavens to add relevance or importance to our existence.

Plaster & Paint

I might have strong convictions baby, but I’m still rotting from the inside out
We have such glorious pride, we have such wasted nights, spend yelling at the plaster & paint
I’d be one to admit your faults for you, while I’m standing here like a fool
Holy fuck I could’ve sworn it was a sin baby to feel so proud
But don’t shut me down now dear, not when I’ve got so much more to say
I’m so sorry I can’t get it in my head this all we got, this life, this night, this second

You Never Really Know

Our self control always falls so low
And from our tops to our toes, you never really know who you can trust
Isolation is a game, and everyone’s winning
From razor blades in our candy to a neighbor’s light left on
I sing songs to convince myself its ok
To never question the fear, that lies within us all
Your eyes stop me in the middle of my play with paranoia
That’s stuck in our heads at the first rise of the curtain
For you I thought I would stop time. I swear for you

The Motivation
03:27
|
|||
|
I’m growing further from this idea I have in my head of what I should be
Time doesn’t seem to heal old scars, it only lets us forget the motivation we once had in our heads
Do you ever get that nagging feeling you’re doing nothing with your life?

Songs About Being Tired (Demos)

These are great songs for driving, skateboarding, ridding your bike, hanging out in a park, drinking a beer, drinking a coffee, throwing a frisbee, flying a kite, and sitting down and listening to.

This is my little brother's band and they rock-awesome. If ye want to hear more Fleck-rock (a very specific type of american music) then feast your ears on this fantastical audio voyage!
