Rejoice!

It can't stay dark forever
no matter how hard it tries
the sun is just around the corner
and soon it will blister our eyes
so rejoice! rejoice!
when you think it can't get any worse
we must fight and we must sing
cause there's no such thing as heroes anymore
we must be all the things that we want to see
in the world and the people we know
and we must be all the things that we swore we could be
when we thought we would never get old
no book or flag is going to save us
from our enemies or ourselves
no screaming preachers or politicians
can rescue us all from this hell
so lets decide
lets be heroes
lets give a little more than we tak
so tomorrow when the morning comes
we can feel the sun on our face

Lost

i've loved you longer than I've loved my favorite bands
started back when we were only friends
don't wanna thing of where id be
if you had never chosen me
I wanna write a million shitty pop-punk songs just for you
that never quite get my point across
I'm lost without you
so lost without you
so please come home right after work
I'm always lost in the kitchen
or breaking the dishes
When each moment is a new and vivid dread
or when I'm stuck at the bottom of our bed
I know it won't last forever and I'm grateful for the fact
but for now I'm just sitting here and I'm waiting for you to come back
I swear its like this house just got much bigger without you
and there are extra hours in this day
I know I said I'd be just fine for a little while without you
but now I'm wishing you never went away

i, regret pt. 1

I will regret this moment at the end of my life
not just this one but I'm sure it will be involved
quietly reminding me of all the time I waste
I will regret this moment when I die
Ive been a ghost since the day I was born
my teeth fell out long before that
but you put me in a basket and you took me for you own
and I pray to God youll never throw me back
my legs are strong enough to start walking
westward straight into the setting sun
I tried my best to settle in, the alarm clock drove me away
now these debts and gravity keep me in my place
so bury me under the things that I regret
and put this song on the very top
there is nothing I hate more than the way I think
I hope someday we all can forgive me

some bridges you burn with fire
and some you burn with words
the one that took me to your house
got burried under ashes and verbs
so I started digging
half as fast as I can talk
by this time tomorrow morning
it should be clear enough to walk
I will regret all the moment I spent not being better to you
I will regret all the moments I wasted waiting for your dreams to come true
some dreams you have while your sleeping
and some you work for all of your life
the world I wanted to give you
disappears at the end of each night
so I started working
half as much as I love you
by this time tomorrow morning
the world should be brand new

Guitar in the Trunk

drinking yourself to death
aint as easy as they make it sound
the only thing thats killing me
is when I take a look around this town
so im leaving here tonight darling
not even taking time to pack
the only thing Im trying to ask
is can you leave here and not look back
I know youre sick of watching them
talk of what they think they know
so Im turning the key guitar in the trunk
and we'll find a new place to call home
dont ask you daddy's permission
he wouldn't stop us even if he knew how
we'll hop the border to mexico
and try to disappear in the crowds
I hear the beach is always warm
no need to bring your coat
but it stays so cold around these parts
the only choice is sink of float
I know youre sick of watching them
kill themselves is so damn slow
so Im turning the key guitar in the trunk
and we'll find a new place to call home

Honeysuckle Wine

the moonlight feels like summer
it's warm against my skin
and the water smells like August
when you start to think the heat will never end
if the creek don't rise we can take all night
if you get scared just put your hand in mine
we'll pass the time with honeysuckle wine
if I could choose a perfect moment
it would be this one
I'd try to make it last forever
but we both know I never could
I know Monday morning's coming
to take me away from you
thats the weirdest thing about living
were all just passing through

Becoming Clouds

its been far too long since I got drunk with my brother
it feels like its been a century since we lived at our mothers
back when I stood my ground
back before I was dying
back when my skin was new
when you could still catch me crying
now weve all grown up I cant say its much of an improvement
but I guess these tiny life cycles sneak by before you notice
everything I know is made of impermanance and change
the only thing you can count on it life is going away
we are all becoming clouds someday
were all becoming clouds
and soon after than we will begin to rain
and we will become one with the ground
I was far too young to remember
the last time I hugged my father
I can't remember who stopped first
or why we never bothered
sometimes I wonder if that's
why I hate being touched
why my skin feels to me
like something slithery and rough
and the ground will grow such beautiful plants
no worried about money food or time
and I won't be scared of the death we all find
I will find peace on petal at a time

I Guess I'm Finding Out
04:24

I've been suppressing my evil with drinking and smoking but I feel every need as a white guy and human to fuck up far more than I know how to fix
and I've been denying my desire to call up my family and scream at the tips of my lungs to try and say I'm very sorry for this
but someday I will be
more than I am now
someday I will be
better than I know how
but someday I will be
more than I am now
I don't know when
But I guess I'll find out
hours and hours spent looking at tvs the only thing ive seen more than my own feet I wish I had known how to love myself but I've never been good at dealing with strangers which makes life much harder with a chest full of anger because every day I wake up as somebody else
but someday I will be
more than I am now
someday I will be
better than I know how
but someday I will be
more than I am now
I don't know when
But I guess I'm finding out
