Yeah we're rolling up our windows, after spitting on your bones, screaming momma take us home, we're picture perfect clones, with no problems of our own I find it kind of hard to leave my home, but I find it kind of easy acting cheesy all alone, It's all fun and games when no one knows your name, oh I like to act young oh I like to act dumb. Yeah we're mocking our elders, all the way back home, yeah we're mocking our elders, with no problems of our own Help I've fallen I can't get up Help I've fallen I can't get up my kids won't help

Oh say can you see, blood in the river while the chemicals bleed don't know what to think, staring off at to many screens oh say can you see, blood in the oil as americans bleed don't know what to think staring off at to many screens

In Chunks 02:21
a body is an ornament or so some say, I will rot away oh I'm quick to rot away, the fountain of youth is a child's attitude, I will rot away oh I'm quick to rot away, it seems like peoples souls are the first to decay. I will rot away oh I'm quick to rot away, Body's in the ground while my head is in those clouds, I will rot away oh I'm quick to rot away It's easy to decay oh I'm quick to rot away in this day and age ain't got shit to say it's easy to decay oh I'm quick to rot away in this day and age ain't got time to stay

on days like these, when I forget my keys, I pound my head outside my door, wonder what I have in store, for the rest of my life oh I just want to die I am always so melodramatic I am always so fucking close to giving up on days like that, when I forget to wear my hate, I wonder who I could be if I didn't look like me, for the rest of my life oh I just want to die on days like this, when I forget to make my wish, my birthday candles are a waste, theres cat hair in my fucking cake, for the rest of my life, oh I just want to die
5.
Burnt 01:57
how would I ever know, I was never bound to grow up so old, I was never told, son you're growing so fucking cold I don't want you to believe, I burned out at just fifteen, show you what I mean, if you'd only ever looked for me

Mancy 01:44
man and the sea salt in the breeze oh I'm getting weak knees fell in love with a beach I want to drown in this place just give up, let my head, fall beneath these waves oh i want to drown in this place
7.
hold your head up high, act like you don't wonder why you'd want to stay alive all my friends have moved away, I make excuses not to see the ones in my state, I forgot how to use my front door, don't think I'm a good friend anymore smile left smile right, act like you don't wonder what it would be like to die I'm inactive only out of fear, I want to blame someone I can't look in the mirror, I can't think of anything worse, than seeing I'm not a good guy anymore heres to giving up cheers I'm giving up Oh I'm giving an ode to giving up

Hacklefly 01:11
I don't know why I'm invading your land, but they keep telling me to shut up and be a man I don't give a damn, you can, take it all from me, I just want to be free I can feel all this blood on my hands, if this is what it means to be a man well i don't give a damn, you can, take it all from me, I just want to be free
10.
no more do you have to see, my stupid face on big old screens, no more do you have to hear my silly voice ringing in your ears I'm going deaf I'm going to die start digging graves, we're dinosaurs, play same old songs you've heard before, we're going deaf we're gonna die no more do you have to clap, after every song every fade to black, no more do you have to wish, we couldn't sing we wouldn't live we're going deaf, we're gonna die clear out the grave, we're dinosaurs, play same old songs you've heard before, we're going deaf we're gonna die
11.
I just want to know if I cut off my hands, would I be a man, would I understand, I just got to know when I bite my tongue, can I say it sucks, I'd love to say it sucks, I just need to know when I plug my ears, will I know you're here, will I know I'm here, I just got to know when I close my eyes, do you hope I die, do I hope I die I don't want to grow up, I just want to give up, I don't want to know you, I don't want to know who I am I'm fighting back tears, I'm fighting back sleep, in a couple of years oh I'm sure I'll be fine, I'm fighting back fears, I'm fighting back me, in a couple of years oh I'm sure I'll be fine, Im fighting back tears, I'm fighting back sleep, In a couple of years oh I hope I'll be fine, I'm fighting back fears, I'm fighting back me, In a couple of years oh I hope I'll be fine I found a fatal flaw, save your own skin I found a fatal flaw, I'm going down with the ship, save your own skin,I found a fatal flaw, in every relationship, I'm in I'm not a good man, I lie and say I am, I will never change, I'm a shadow of a dark wave, pull back my skin, I said I'd let you in, throw me out to sea, when you realize there's nothing much to me I don't think that I blame you but it's easier I don't think that I blame you but it's easier than admitting

Beach Fog 01:15

13.
to all my old friends, I just meant to say it's such a shame, that I don't know you, quite like I used to, titans' tugging on my bones better tidy up this home get on my own, leave behind my pale blue dot I just want to be forgot neptune hopefully sometime soon will come and rescue me I just need a way out I don't want to fade out into the kieper belt burnt out as I've ever felt now I'm forever lost never find my pale blue dot we all burn out alone
14.
I don't want to keep writing these shitty songs I just want to sit out in the audience I'm giving up much to young just like momma said I think I peaked way back when in high school just like my momma said, I would if I acted cool I peaked oh Im drowning oh

Golly & the Geebirs Des Moines, Iowa

"This oozing is indicative of their sound, crashing like seafoam green waves cresting, falling, and sinking your feet into the sand. That exuberance alone pulls you in, and although it might thrash you around, rest assured it will set you back down safe and sound."
