Streems 04:15
I’m not locked down/ I don't owe no one a favor Word on the street that you're gonna meet someone any day now But I know/ that you’re out of control/ oh I know you sad little boy I lost my way/ I lost my mind on a sunny day Word on the street that there’s something really happening You sit around your home all alone you sad little boy I lost my mind (I lost my way) but I don’t see a problem anyway (anyway you want it) Word on the street that there’s something really happening But I know that you’re out of control/ oh I know you sad little boy

ACL 04:39
Well you're all fucked up and you’re own your own I tore my acl/ now I’m broke as hell, getting fat and old I put my game face on and say yo wha oh Such a hell of a thing/ to chase pussy with a diamond ring (well how the hell are ya) such a beautiful fact/ tell me what you’re on and I’ll show you where its at i said a yo wha oh I only love you always/ I thought that crazy people only wanted me/ I wanna tell you that you’re so in love with me well you’re all fucked up and yer on yer own, I don’t know/ I tore my acl/ now I’m gross as a motherfucker can’t you tell (I only love you) Such a hell of a thing/ to chase pussy with a diamond ring (well how the hell are ya) such a beautiful fact/ tell me what you’re on and I’ll show you where its at I said a yo wha oh I only love you always/ I thought that crazy people only wanted me/ I wanna tell you that you’re so in love with me/ I get so faded when I hate that self of mine/ I’m disappearing cause I’m faded all the time

Soft Love 05:30
I never knew someone like you could make me blue/ In just a moment or two but I’m stuck in the times, you could call it what you want/ I’m losing my marbles and it’s all in my phone I’ll keep it simple now/ I’ll keep it gold/ I’ll keep it so you’d never wanna be alone Move so slowly/ Oh is there anybody else/ Sometimes I get to feel it Move so slowly/ You’ve got me thinking ‘bout your health It’s nothing wrong/its nothing new/ this might sound crazy but it’s killing me/ all the way in the field/ you could call it lack of motive (love) Move so slowly/ Oh is there anybody else/ Sometimes I get to feel it Move so slowly/ You’ve got me thinking ‘bout your health And I really wanna make sure I know how the hell to know/ when to take the situation leave it and go/ how to change a made mind/ but it doesn't matter/ it's harder when you try because I'm stuck in the times/ and it doesn't matter

Take your time Listen to the song we wrote And it could change your mind When you hear it on the radio I’m getting blackout drunk tonight Said you don’t know where the good dope grows But I get flame all the time Just call me on the phone and you can always swing by Cause I’d rather be at home playing video games With the people that I’ve known since the glorious age Cause every now and then I just don’t feel the same Said you don’t know instead you swing low I get high I get low If my heart stops beating Will you let me know I don’t know what your mind is going through But I’m coming up dizzy just trying to love you I know oh oh I know Lights out/ I fuckin know what you’re saying We’ll give it all away now/ we’ll give it all the way home We’re gonna give it away now/ we’re gonna give it on home [chorus] I don't know what your mind is going through But I'm coming up dizzy just trying to love you I know oh oh oh oh If you need fast cash in a flash you see Front a sack flip it bring the rest back to me I know oh oh oh oh

Creeper 04:11
How long’s it been since you've been gone I sleep with the lights left on I used to have a different life and I don't have it anymore Lying what’s the use of trying Lying what’s the use of trying How long’s it been since you've been gone I sleep with the lights left on It’s all the same/ ooooh Dulls the pain/ ooooh How long’s it been since you've been gone I sleep with the lights left on I used to have a different life and I don't have it anymore Lying what’s the use of trying Lying what’s the use of trying Love me sober love me lame/ I fell down when you're in my lane Lying what’s the use of trying/ when you're in my way When you’re in my lane

Based 02:43
Well this might sound mean and it might be rough But in my eyes you just don't mean anything much Well you might talk slick and you might act tough In my eyes you don't mean all that much to me I slept through Friday night But it’s cool cause i slept another couple of days and hey, I'm feeling right Last night I had a dream That we stayed up till a quarter to two You were trying to say something to me but push I think I slept through that one too It's sensible I make no sense at all In my eyes you don't mean all that much to me anymore Its sensible I make no sense at all Its based to me and it don't mean much to me anymore Blue days and black out nights When you said I was being the kinda person that you hated But I like that kind of life Took a lonely road/ it's a lonely ride/ took the only road I don't even know why/ it'll come back to you eventually Got fucked up in a fight/ but it's cool cause I had another couple of drinks to pass the time now I feel fine Last night I had a dream (about you) You looked so tired and sad and confused You said it all comes back to you eventually Its sensible I make no sense at all/ In my eyes you don't mean all that much to me anymore Its sensible I make no sense at all/ It’s based to me and it don't mean much to me anymore

Looking outta my car (I see nothing new) It doesn't mean that much to me I know it’s nothing new, nothing new But one of these days I'm gonna get paid and it’s gonna come back to you Here I am making the most of a bad time/ with somebody like you You can work your whole life for the money but the moneys never gonna make you Didn't get to say what I wanted to say/ but it doesn't matter anyway Take me to the zoo I should be caged like an animal too (oh magic moments/magic moments) One of these days I'm gonna get paid and it’s gonna come back to you anyway Well here I am making the most of a time/ with somebody like you You can work your whole life making money but the moneys never gonna make you till you run it right through

Synth Song 03:14
Trying to find In the wrong state of mind I’m just a regular person Wasting your time It’s why you never told me so That’s how, why you never let me know That every now and then I’ll think about the end and all he faces that I'm never gonna see again Wasting my time in the wrong state of mind I'm just a regular person stuck in a bind I never meant to live a lie I never meant to let the moment pass me by and now I'm wondering why I'm still the same old

Red River 03:22
Try not to think out loud What I’m thinkin bout I’m looking at the sky While laying on the ground Try not to think out loud Try not to think out loud But I made up my mind I’m walking down the corridor and waiting in line Tell me whatchu gonna do when I’m thru with you Cause everything you do is just Is just seven little words for a shitty excuse and if I’m a little kid then you’re a little man What’s a seven letter word for I’m doing what I can and I mean it baby Whats a seven dollar word for I mean it boy Whoa oh ah ah oh oh oh oh Fine time to be on your mind Good friends are hard to find Whoa whoa whoa oh I could see but now I’m blind And good luck is hard to find Yeah yeah yeah ah Don’t wanna grow up old Don’t wanna die alone Fuck doing what your told Try not to think out loud Fine time to be on your mind Good friends are hard to find Yeah yeah yeah ah I could see but now I’m blind a good fuck is hard to find Whoa whoa whoa

Starfall 03:58
You get dizzy when you’re close to me which causes you to act inappropriately oh wait a minute lemme think I’ll sit down and have a drink maybe one or maybe seven maybe three and maybe tell you what I really mean my words aren’t what they seem although I tend to think that words don’t mean a thing instead I get lonely when you don’t talk to me it’s the words that I crave so irrationally oh wait a minute lemme think I’ll sit down and have a drink maybe one or maybe seven maybe three Lemme tell you what I really mean my words aren’t what they seem although I tend to think that words don’t mean a thing instead I get lonely when you don’t talk to me it’s the words that I crave so irrationally oh wait a minute lemme think I’ll sit down and have a drink maybe one or maybe seven maybe three Last night everybody came and went when I tried so hard to be the main event, every single person in the world agrees/ if you don’t take what you want you’ll never get what you need Instead I get lonely when you don’t talk to me it’s the words that I crave so irrationally oh wait a minute lemme think I’ll sit down and have a drink maybe one or maybe seven maybe three
