Still 02:54
Even though I'm nothing like them I still have to deal with that opinion Even though i"m looked down by them i still have to deal with their conviction Apparently im fucking racist and handed it all and need to be sorry Meanwhile outside of ficition im renting a room and make less than $8.50 Even though im nothing like them i still have to watch my fucking mouth and Even though id like to fight them im sure that they'd knock me out It's obvious that ive got it better im cruising through life on my daddys dime Meanwhile im driving slowly to work in my 1990 Eighty Eight Royale Fuck you

Im sick of hearing this shit i feel no appreciation for what i put up with atleast i try admitting my flaws when everyone i know would rather transfer the cause Why is this what's true? It still hurts It still helps to scream The need for acceptance doesnt die with adolescence Sell yourself solitary, the innocence of our youth is buried We cant take our time I'm still here for you when you need me to take care, take off, the second im more used to All this fucking snow is freezing my soul i cant feel my legs i cant let her go This winter is a war without any end in sight Tonight im asking for an end to the ice The only thing lucid in my life is strain For you it's what causes the pain The suns still gone, my eyes still wide I see them all take it with stride This isnt right Why is this what's true?

I guess im dying im feeling so cold i feel so left out and sold out by my friends that i want to be alone i guess im nothing i must be brave just because im awake it being so hard for you to see my face I hate the time i waste sleeping I hate the time in the kage but what truly brings me down is a lie from you to me I hate myself when im sleeping i hate myself in the kage but i truly hate when im left behind or thrown away But ill see ya tomorrow ill see the next day i wont let you demonstrate that any kind of neglect can make me break one day youll feel it but not from me ill be right here and ready to have your back even though you wont for me I hate the way that you treat me I hate the way that you take but there's no fucking chance i would make you feel the same but i see the way that she treats you and now im starting to see maybe life evens out her to you, you to me

Can't make a change inside someone who's making it worse for themselves in every choice Why i decide to put trust into any of these vacant friendships is being destroyed What nuisance am i for having you spend some of your precious seconds to better my life? I guess im a dreamer that sometimes forgets the me in society fuck you goodnight Now where the fuck do i go These are the faces i know The faces of war To you the man afraid to be living just get the fuck out of my way To you the liar deceitful and guilty im not letting you take advantage of me To you the child who's learning and growing you're gonna grow up and no one will care To you the friend who cant fathom giving your balance is fucked and its fucking unfair
6.
There's a hole in my life and i need to fill it up I hope you at least scored some points with that girl you think you love It's so pathetic But at least i dont have to feel bad for you now Cause in the end it's over nothing more it ceases to be And inconsistent people get not respect from me I hope your life is easy enough for you now It's sad that we probably cared more for you than who you'd keep around

Grudge 02:25
You've opened up a world of mass disappointment Another prodigy of retail employment A boy of many rude jokes no ones laughing and welcomes back none of equal drafting You're all alone just the way that you wanted Ever since your betrayal you're haunted No time for anyone but pointless collecting Even after the leash stopped retracing Stress - I'm overwhelmed with the way that you dont see Pain - The backwards situation you've made for me Pressure- A world of mass disgust Strain- I'm at a loss of the waste of trust Stress - Thanks for being so quiet every time Pain - I tried to tell you something that was on my mind Pressure - When you depend you'll be let down Strain - When you turn 24 you'll get kicked out

about

Guitar parts were recorded on a tape recorder and then played into a laptop. Everything else was recorded with audacity. Excerpts of talking were on the tape i found that i used to record the guitar parts. The room i had been renting i mention in "Still" i was kicked out of a couple weeks before the release of the album and the car i mention in the same song broke down the day of the release.
