Days Of Living
02:44
|

|
Hanging by a crossroad, here all by ourselves.
The world just seems so different from what we used to tell.
It could be surprising the more I can recall.
When you’re not expecting the fall.
It’s the days that we’ll remember from the lives we left behind.
In a road that will be ruined (after) time after time.
So, we fall into the memories as we strive for something more
Our days of living never sure.
Standing by a streetlight, people passing by.
Am I tripping backwards?
My pressure is running high
I think I found a new phase cause I‘ve finally figured out
What I’ve been more complacent about.
Like a flame I’m burning out
I don’t want to break anymore.
I’m not good enough for this.
Years have brought me undermined,
I know that I’m ready for more.
Am I good enough for this?

Where Is The Time?
02:19

Where is the time? Did it leak right through my fingers?
I’m always so tired from the thought of it
It’s been a while since I felt like I was living
Then my memory died from knowing
Hang around all day
I know I’m foolish cause I never try
Nothing left to say
I know the fury is still in me now
Where is the time when we used to get excited from a records sound?
I’ll borrow it, and if we try, we could probably build a time machine
Go back in time and change some of it
Felt like I was down
But I got up to go back down again
1985
So, take me back to my old home again
This place scares me
This place scares me
And I threw all the photographs and treasures that we found
But I stayed around

California Sounds
02:47
|

|
I got this face, it once belonged to you
I got your knife the one that cut me in two
I never had to leave it all behind
But now it feels like I’ve been wasting my time
Tell me why we won’t
Stare up at the skies
like we used to be
when we were young
Buckle up your feet
Sit back enjoy the ride
Hold on to your seat
Paving me the way
California sounds
I’ll come back again
ready to be found
Once a simple world
Seemed so far from me
I can’t turn back the clock
but time will set me free
I’m leaving this for a home on the road
It’s such a shame how we hurry up to grow old
So slow it down and fill this empty room
with lesser doubt and not a life consumed
All we have is now,
Never be erased
Til we’re immortalized in wooden frames
Cherish who you love
Don’t forget your place
as long as you believe
You’ll make it

Heaven Sent
01:34
|
|||
|
Come with me, echoes in the hallway call
we're going nowhere, make up your mind
I’ll forgive you every time you say you’re sorry
Heaven sent you a fine
Wait, I'll wait until we resolve
Wait, I'll wait until we dissolve
Fool my fate, every time you spin the wheel
We're off the grid, where we belong
Sinking ships, sailing over troubled waters
simple as a Beatles song

Silver and Gold
02:09
|

|
Once upon a memory we were lost,
looking for the answer,
knowing that we're killing time.
underwater romance we desire
the more we keep on drowning,
the less we need to feed the fire.
So, I'll just wait around till you decide
it's time to move on.
I know that you'll be okay,
I'll give you time, you give me space.
All my friends are desperate enough
to stay where this comfort,
Comfort is my biggest fear.
I was fortunate enough to find
where this life was leading and why
I couldn't take you there with me.
So, I’ll just drive all night
Somebody take the wheel, I’m losing it.
I won't fall asleep tonight,
just take what's left of me and bury it.

Platonic
02:44
|
|||
|
Tension that is building between us
I don’t know, is it all in my head?
You cry to me that nobody loves you
and expect me to understand
I keep myself chained up when I’m near you
So, you could be safe inside
I’m sick of trying so hard to please you
Cause I’m really into your type
Now, you threw me off
Like you never had a clue
I could try to lie
But I feel the way I do
You saved me from myself
Since the day you let me in
I don’t even know where to begin
Maybe it’s just me,
I’m attracted because you keep on casting a spell
You listen to the first Arctic Monkeys
But can’t crawl out of your shell
I tried to keep it pure and platonic
but it’s gets to me every time
The chemistry that happens between us
Sends me sky rocket into the night
I can’t let go
I’ve waited long enough

Catastrophe
02:35
|
|||
|
How did I get myself caught up in this giant mess?
I gave you two years of my life and all I got was this
I was the one on the side to listen to your blues
Of how you managed to maintain and carry the abuse
Catastrophe, catastrophe is all I think of you
Leave me out to dry again while I wait for you
Catastrophe, catastrophe Just like you did before
I'll open up my heart for you, take the key and lock the other door.
Disappear and come back but still everything's the same
Stuck with someone who's been lacking; ruining your days.
I wish I could tell you better, now I'm loss for words
Every time we talked about it; I'd end up being hurt
Got no control, living like there’s no tomorrow

Tony Sly

Last days of summer air.
As I’m remembering.
Like it was yesterday
Just a night in ruins.
Where does time disappear?
It’s almost been three years.
If life was like a tape
I’d stop and hit rewind.
How many times did we get so jaded?
When did we ever lose control?
I never thought it would be complicated.
Now, it’s so confusing.
And when I try to erase the feeling,
I realize I can’t let go.
Wish I could have one second in July.
(So I could say goodbye to my friend Tony Sly.)
You shaped the way I think about
the sadness of the world.
and left me with more betterness
In every song I’ve heard.
Reflections in a life sized mirror
Hanging on the wall, slowly fading fast
Is it too late to call?
I thought you were invincible
But then I heard the news.
It’s hard to win the battle
when there’s substance to abuse
Checking for a pulse
when there’s nobody home
I’m gonna self destruct.
and leave it all alone

Grandfather
02:39
|

It was weird seeing you today
when I didn’t know what to expect
You’re my grandfather
Now, don’t you forget
Infusion through the wires
and a beeping sound
You’re my grandfather
I won’t let you down.
A hospital bed in a crowded room
Everyone waits to talk to you
You used to be the one controlling them
now they’re all controlling you
I know that you think of me
A shitty grandson I’ve been to you
You’re my grandfather, It’s probably true
You said that you loved us all.
I’ve had my share of crying
You’re my grandfather
I can’t see you dying.
Painkillers and other sleeping pills
will get you through and keep you still
As you get ready for chemotherapy
They’ll do their best to keep you away from me.
It’s too late for me
I can’t talk to you

Young Man Bones
03:10

I’ve got young man bones
The kind you want to stay
and never go away
I’ve got young man bones
I won’t let go of them
Until we’re near the end
Rings under eyes showing me our age
I’ve been lacking sleep for the longest time
It’s hard to hide the white blooming in my hair
Heart of a punk with a So Cal sound
Sometimes I need more space
Someday when I’ll be gone I don’t think the”ll find
Someone to take my place
See the early days vanishing away
Depicting our lives in a photograph
Travelling the seas, conquering the states
Boat is going to drown in the deep end
Sailing in a whirlpool maze
Cracks will appear as we all burn slow
Temperamental shift of pace

Crawling (Bonus Track)

This song was actually written as a band song for Useless ID but the guys weren't so stoked on it. So I recorded it as a bonus track acoustically.
