Scumbag 01:58
I never wanted to be Part of that scum you're a part of now I never wanted to see You dressed in that dress don't dress to impress me I never wanted to make You feel like the scum that you're part of now What was the mistake That threw you through the morals that were close to you? Were they ever really close to you? Was it something you were trying to prove? Were they ever really close to you? I never wanted to give Into the scum that you're a part of now I never wanted to live That side of life that you claim is right for me I never wanted to fit In with that scum that you're a part of now I know it's hard to admit You knew what to do with those morals that were close to you Were they ever really close to you? Was it something you were trying to prove? Were they ever really close to you?

Get away I'm not fucking with you You want to know what I can't say? Get away I'm not fucking with you You want to know why I can't be myself? Did it ever occur to you that your fashion doesn't indicate a change? Did it ever occur to you that if you take it all away then we are both the same? Get away I'm not fucking with you You want to know what I can't say? Get away I'm not fucking with you You want to know why I can't be myself? Did it ever occur to you that your bitterness is not a change of pace? Did it ever occur to you that I could end it with one boot to the face? That's what I couldn't say But I swear I'm not this way You know I hate this place So get away

Play it down but I heard you from a mile away Never believed that you could act on what you say So you're leaving, please help me out this once Whatever you do please don't tell me that we're done Cause I will call you, although afraid and You will tell me you don't see the point in waiting Yeah I'll call you, I hope you pick up So you can tell me just how badly everything now sucks And I'll walk a little more just to knock upon your door And have you tell me that I'm so fucking plain And you told me once before that you're headed to that shore And I told you I won't look at you the same Don't know why you're so hesitant to commit I'm growing tired of your indecisive shit Please believe me, I hope you stick around Don't take this opportunity to let me down Cause I won't let you disappoint me Understand me when I say you don't control me I will call you, I hope you pick up So you can tell me just how badly everything now sucks And I'll walk a little more, just to knock upon your door And have you tell me that I'm so fucking plain And you told me once before, that you're headed to that shore And I told you I won't look at you the same Not the same So here we are now, just barely standing We took off without ever thinking of landing I will call you, I hope you pick up So I can tell you just how badly everything now sucks And I'll walk a little more just to knock upon your door And have you tell me that I'm so fucking plain And you told me once before that you're headed to that shore And I told you I won't look at you the same It's not the same You're not the same

Hey there man, how's it feel down on your knees? The bathroom floor's the only time you call for me You'll push it down, or swallow whole, but don't pretend you're in control Extend the hand, begging please, but I don't feel within your reach You claim I don't understand But I'm the one who lends the hand That picks you up and drags you from their teeth I don't want to be there when it hits the fan I don't want to be another backup plan Like I know I will I can't believe that you've convinced me once again To dive head first into that crowd you call your friends I'm not afraid, cause I will swing, they're unprepared for what I'll bring To dig you out, of your mistake, is a different kind of hit to take How can you pretend it's fine? When all your problems are now mine But if you lead the way you know I'll go I don't want to be there when it hits the fan I don't want to be another backup plan Like I know I will

Sleepyhead 03:26
Don't wake me up if you are to find me Just leave a note addressing me kindly Wait a winter long, a struggle to find sleep Winter's come and gone, a struggle in cool sheets I promise you That if you go I will follow But don't expect me to get there by tomorrow And if you go I will follow But don't expect me to get there by tomorrow Don't say out loud the secrets that you keep You'll find yourself digging in too deep Your winters wasted days, a struggle to find sleep My winter wastes away, I struggle in cool sheets I promise you That if you go I will follow But don't expect me to get there by tomorrow And if you go I will follow But don't expect me to get there by tomorrow Tomorrow You'll talk me into driving with you today I'm confident that it'll be okay But don't wake me up even if in need Leave me a note, leave me to my cool sheets I promise you That if you go I will follow But don't expect me to get there by tomorrow And if you go I will follow But don't expect me to get there by tomorrow

Ugly Line 02:37
Take your time and take a breath Cause this one ain't worth saving Told you I would do my best To try some good behaving But something's rumbling under me And I can't seem to shake it There's something bubbling underneath Face me, face me, face it If I go there, will you talk? If I stay, will you walk that ugly line? And tell me if I'm lying, and tell me if I'm lying And tell me if I'm lying Stay asleep, or stay in bed Either way I'm staying You won't rest until you're dead At least that's what you're saying You ask me if I feel alright As if I could replace you But I don't feel I have the might To face you, face you, face it If I go there, will you talk? If I stay, will you walk that ugly line? And tell me if I'm lying, and tell me if I'm lying And tell me if I'm lying

Call Me Cal 03:08
The streets are lined with piss and graves As I grow older I grow afraid And if I know my friends they’ll say That it’d be cool if I went away But I’ll write them someday Call me California Caught a glimpse of mother’s pain As tears rolled off her lovely face Told her that I’d be okay And maybe I’d write her someday But recognize my name Call me California Everyone’s got favorites But no one’s like me And I can’t guarantee you’ll make it I can’t promise that you’ll be where you want it to be I took off to find my place To fill a void or role to play But I can’t seem to find my way To get out from the other’s waste So I’ll write you today Call me California Call me Cal

Started off in the depths of a basement Couple of guitars, oh we'd play them I'd write a line or two about Carolyn Hope that she would hear them but in fear that she would hate them Oh they were never really good And this I know for sure Oh they were never really good And this I know Went a year without leaving the basement Thought she would come to me, I kept waiting I left a hundred songs in that basement By believing she was in her room with them playing Oh they were never really good And this I know for sure Oh they were never really good And this I know for sure Started off in the depths of a basement Felt like we'd go far, like we'd make it A couple years and I'm still in a basement And I can almost hear the sounds of us wasting Oh they were never really good And this I know for sure Oh they were never really good And this I know for sure

Don't you, don't you believe me when I say That the worst has yet to come I'll let you know when I'm breathing and when I'm okay After all is said and done It's pretty pretty peculiar this life underneath Wonder if I'll make it out It's pretty pretty peculiar this life underneath Wonder if I'll reach the ground And if you'll still come around Because you know where I'll be found It's pretty pretty peculiar You're making me believe That there's something underneath You're making me believe Don't you, don't you remember that time last year When the water filled my shoes Those days on the water brought us near But I still could not catch you It's pretty pretty peculiar this life underneath Wonder if I'll make it out It's pretty peculiar this life underneath Wonder if I'll reach the ground And if you'll still come around Because you know where I'll be found It's pretty pretty peculiar You're making me believe That there's something underneath You're making me believe
