It's cheaper than therapy to keep writing 4 chord songs
I always seem to find the friends who don't mind singing along
But latently you've been worrying us with all your sad, sad songs
Everything’s just fine, I'm just working through some shit
And the sunny side doesn't last for quite that long
Because every time you think you’re spared life comes along
And takes a rip of your asshole like a bong
Like a dirty hippie bong
I'm not doing bad I'm just not doing fine
I'm always belligerent and angry at all the wrong times
In all the wrong places with all the wrong kind
Of people, but I'm just working through some shit
Well my sense of reality is flawed from writing to many songs
I forget where the troubles are and the chords belong
But at lest my therapist is probably doing just fine
While I’m out here working though some shit
It's a pattern, a pattern, a pattern of my life, cause I'm working though some shit (x2)
Because I'm working, I'm working, I'm working on it, and I'm working on all of it (x2)
It's just a pattern, a pattern of my life and I'm working on doing just fine (x2)
Working on doing just fine

Afterglow

The sun has set again
And all thats left just is
Afterglow
It’s a feeling that I know
Just watch her leave again
She’s buttoning up her dress
And yet some how we’re left content
Afterglow
It’s a feeling that I know
Above the belt that’s where she hit
A nice clean jab and yet
My heart is caving in
The ventricles too thin
But still the sun has set
Left me basking in regret
Afterglow
It’s a feeling that I know
Afterglow

Building Up My Tolerance

I'm building up my tolerance to you with every sip
You’re my drug of choice Baby, you're my fix
But I'm building up my tolerance to you
I need more of you each passing day, but I’d not have it any other way
Now you're the reason that I'm always tweaking
But I'm building up my tolerance to you
I want to slam you in my veins and snort you up until I go insane
And your love has me all junk-sick and I can't seem to kick it
But I'm building up my tolerance to you
I want to put you on my tongue, play another record and get spun
I’m popping you like pills and skipping on the bills
But I'm building up a tolerance to you
I'll take another hit of you, counting down the hours till the day is through
My head is pounding and my pulse is bounding
But I'm building up a tolerance to you
I’m building up a tolerance to you

Non Believer

I'm just another non believer living in this god infested town
Trying to make my mark on the world, knowing there's nothing beyond the ground
And I wouldn't have lived like this, if I knew it would it would be for this long
And I live my entire life though these words and song
Don’t have to answer to a master don’t answer to a god
When there’s no one above you, you’re just left with your own thoughts
And I live my entire life though these words and song
I am at peace because I’m not a child of a god

Tears Me Up
02:54

Stepped out in the world today
Stepped out not much to say
Walked up and down these rows
Used to know my order here but now who knows
And all these for familiar places tear me up
Used to like it here, not now so much
I'm just another sad song
Whimpering in the background with the sports game on
Something to fill your ears
I love to fill your heart but its soaked in beer
Or maybe whiskey but definitely not gin
Because no one ever liked anything that juniper was in (except you)
And all these for familiar sensations they tear me up
I used to like to feel, not now so much
I never used to drink myself to sleep
Never had to force myself to eat
And now I struggle waking up before noon
Surrounded by these memories of you
And all these for familiar habits tear me up
Used to like to feel, just now not so much
And all these for familiar sensations they tear me up
Used to like to feel, not now so much
And all these for familiar places tear me up
Used to like it here, not now so much
