Fuck work. I just want to listen to Bongripper And fuck school. I just want to listen to Free Throw Fuck doing anything except listening to records I'm gonna sit right here and waste away I'm gonna listen to Electric Wizard until I die
2.
All these questions. I don't have any answers. Every time you bring it up it just stresses me out Stop fucking talking. I don't wanna think about it Can't you just let me coast in my current mediocrity? No I'm not excited. No I'm not looking forward to it. No I don't want to talk about it, with you least of all. Stop fucking talking. It doesn't matter to you anyway Can't I just be miserable without you piling on?

Be Cool 01:04
Everything just keeps getting worse And everyone around me keeps trying to reassure me That this suffering is temporary And even if that's true, I don't think I have the patience To make it through So just let me go Just be cool about it Just let me go. Just let me die

Last Monday 01:22
I heard what you did And I have to say that I'm happy for you You put up with enough And I'm proud that you finally took control of your own life No one can make that choice for you It doesn't matter if they miss you That choice is yours and yours alone Maybe someday I'll find the kind of strength That you found inside yourself last Monday
5.
I remember working at the thrift store and fucking around with Tom He didn't seem to care much for my darker jokes. And I know that depression isn't funny But, man, you've got to let people cope in their own way. You and I have spent a lot of time Hyper-focusing on the things that bum us out and piss us off And that's led to a lot of joking that we'd end our lives But we weren't joking all the time
6.
It is a gift to be alive with you at the same time Clementine The Earth may burn, but the glow of the fire Can't outshine the orange in your hair And you thrive in the sun and the heat, so I rest easy Cause you will be fine The end is nigh, but we still have time, you and I, eye to eye Clementine I'm ready to die, I loved you your whole life, Clementine

Back Then 01:45
I'm spending my weekend looking up a bunch of chords For songs I used to play when I was 16 And scrolling through old pictures That we took back when we were 16 And sharing lots of stories with people who have heard them From when I was 16 And I know that it's just that I am old And I'm broke, and I'm stressed, and I'm tired, and I'm busy And so are all my friends I'm obsessed with the past But I don't want to be a kid again I just want to feel a bit like I felt Back then
8.
Everything 01:47
I can't buy a shirt without worrying about the cost I can't go for a walk without worrying about the money that I'm losing by not having a second job I remember being a kid. I would walk with my friends And that was everything. I can't do anything without worrying about everything
9.
Got in my car and cupped my freezing hands around my mouth I headed up the 140 deep into the woods I parked my car on the shoulder, and I left my jacket Because I knew I wouldn't need it I kept walking til I couldn't hear the highway behind me I picked a tree and I began to climb I sat down on the first sturdy branch And I anchored my tether Don't know to whom, I don't know why But I said one last goodbye And then I jumped I spent more time this year crying than in any year prior
10.
Still S.A.D. 01:10
We moved to Oregon, two thousand miles from home To make something better of myself But I'm still waiting tables And my anxiety isn't getting any better And I'm just concerned that we made the wrong call We uprooted both our lives and I'm not a smart investment I want to preemptively apologize For when you realize That this was a waste of time

about

I had this whole big thing written about this album, but I don't know if anyone will even see this, or care about what I put here, or if I want anyone to see it anyway.
I don't live there anymore, for what it's worth. I'm back home now, and feeling better. Not "good," but better.
