It’s only us
It always has been
It never changes either way
It all went down
you got wasted
My tongue got drunk and spoke out of the side of my mouth.
We’re sitting there
Together laughing
I never want this to end
I breathed it in
you coughed lightly
We smoked on something like what we had found in the South
Yet we cant get away from the webs we spin
They’re what keeps us from running all day long
They paint our age, They hold us tightly
What do we call this stygian addiction?
What do we say?
My souls hungry
Did you catch the sunrise today?
With that said now
I’m feeling it
I feel like now my shadow weighs more than my soul
Yet we cant get away from the webs we spin
They’re what keeps us from running all day long
They paint our age, They hold us tightly
What do we call this stygian addiction?

I think it’s fate that we have met
I can show you I’m no fable
I am not like the rest
I can show you I’m Mr. Right
I can show you what we are and everything that we could be
When you kiss me
I feel like I’ve sunken down to the bottom of the sea
Don’t turn your back on me I am standing here
Shaking in the dark
Working day and night
Shaking in the dark
Working overtime
Don’t want to rush this or jump the gun
But girl, I think I love you
No one can match this
The power of my love that I have for you.
You wouldn’t bet this
but we fit like Tetris
When we are side by side
You will smile when you are around me
And I’ll treat you like a queen
I will carry your world much like atlas
And you can always rely on me
Leave your light on for me
I am standing here
Shaking in the dark
Working day and night
Shaking in the dark
Working overtime
Don't want to rush this of jump the gun
But girl, I think I love you
No one can match this
The power of my love that I have for you
It might be what you do with your hair
Or the fact that we are a perfect pair
When were walking down the streets
Or under the sheets
Just don't leave me in the dark.

Before you came in
It was plain
All the hill-jacks and pompous old people
They’re all the same.
When I’m at work
Stocking shelves
I always have you on my mind
My brain is like a tape
It just keeps playing you over and over again
Pop me in like a VHS Cassette
I wanna relive this moment yet again
Oh hurry up,
My shift is almost over
I just want to get to know you
Raspberry vodka…..Raspberry Vodka.
I bet we’d always have fun
I bet you live and have a good time
You never worry what you say
I can tell you’re not stuck up like a french Beaujolais
Crystal Clear spirit with a tart taste
A whiskey sour with a nice face
A bourbon aged to perfection
I really wanna make this connection
Pop me in like a VHS Cassette
I wanna relive this moment yet again
Oh hurry up,
My shift is almost over
I just want to get to know you
Raspberry vodka
Oh start me up
A taste bud super nova
I just want to see you again my
Raspberry Vodka…..Raspberry Vodka
Pop me in like a VHS Cassette
I wanna relive this moment yet again.

Nightlife

Driving down the highway
With the windows down
Feels nice outside
Not a single car around.
Now the sun is setting, setting to the west
Illuminating the city with the daylight that is left
Warm pastel colors and a crescent moon
Taking over the night, stirring up the mood
The streets are getting busy and the city noise is filling up the air
I am entranced in it
I cant stop staring
It’s quite amazing
I cant keep my mind off this
NIGHT LIFE
Big lines are forming, forming at the door
People waiting outside
Not knowing whats in store.
Could be disaster or mediocre
Or the weirdest situation no one would believe
They’re people eating
Where someone puked before
The same place where a person’s heart was shattered on the floor
If every night was the same
Then we’d all go insane
I am entranced it
I cant stop staring
It’s quite amazing
I cant keep my mind off this
NIGHT LIFE
I can’t get enough
Of this night life
Take this empty glass
Fill it up to the top.

Oh, check it out
I am about what you’re about
Looking like a Warhol with a fresh pack of menthols
Looking like an art piece now
Listen to me baby
Turn your avant-garde down maybe
Then maybe we can talk it out
The chances may be slim
But man, I’m goin' it
I hear my mind speaking out
Oh come over here, you sexy thing
I never knew, I never knew
That I would be so attracted to you
The whole world around us might be blind
But it doesn't mean that we cant open our eyes
I need to know you are who you were before so we dont end up
Posed up boy
Posed up girl.
Oh, can you feel it?
Can you feel my heart beat now
I gotta reel it in fast
This big catch ain’t gonna last
I think I’ll go and take my chance.
It sure is a shot in the dark but that’s the best part
Of this cosmic dance
Will you take my hand?
Will you take this chance?
Oh come over here, you sexy thing
I never knew, I never knew
That I would be so attracted to you
The whole world around us might be blind
But it doesn't mean that we cant open our eyes
I need to know you are who you were before so we don't end up
Posed up boy
Posed up girl.
Give it time, the time for love to grow
Soft words of love not placed but stitched and sewn.

If it’s not a crazy night
Then I don’t want it back.
Not even the strength of a God
Can hold us back.
There’s a million jolts of energy
In just one shock
It’s how I feel inside
I can take this situation on
I admit it kinda feels weird
I’m ready for this to be real
Those mountains out there
Are just ant hills to us
Forget the cheese I don’t care
I’m here for the thrill
Thoughts of blood and water
make the situation harder
It’s how I feel inside
I can take this situation on
I admit it kinda feels weird
I’m ready for this to be real
Not a single moment
I can say its all “been the same”
I haven’t felt this spirit in a long, long time
Day by day, inching and fighting toward the goal at hand and it’ll be soon.
I never thought it’d take this long for me to understand what
I should do.
It’s how I feel inside
I can take this situation on
I admit it kinda feels weird
I’m ready for this to be real
I’m ready for this to be real
I’m ready for this to be real
For this to be real.

I close up shop, I’m headed home
Meanwhile, Armageddon on my smart phone
Telling me to come out to this bar
I got stuff to do but it’s not to far
I say what the hell and I bite the bullet
Journeys playing, it’s infested with mullets
I go out back with a guy named jack
We smoke some noise from a joint in his pack
My head turns hazy, I can’t drive home
Make a few calls and I throw out my bone
It’s bad when you think too hard
And your Uber asks you “where you at?”
I live in the smack-dab center of a horseradish land
A cliche I don’t understand is the tucked in shirts with the khaki pants
So run me over with your new Cadillac
I’m layin’ here, frying in the cul-de-sac
At 100 degrees (Kelvin Clein)
I’m like a turkey in the oven.
Down in Kentucky there’s a guy named Meatball
Kentucky's weird, a different kind of people
We go hungry to a waffle house
A crust-punk cook just running his mouth
He agitates the Ball so he throws his cup
The cook now ready to start things up
He’s spittin' and struttin’
Like a rooster with an alibi
Meanwhile, I’m sitting there pacified
Meat gives him the old Don Jon check mate
Lay him cold on the black slate
Throwin’ down quarters and gamblin’ with Jesus
Prayin’ to St. Michael that I hit the big six
A girl then asks me if I wanna split the pot
I said no thanks, I smoked it in the parking lot
She swiftly leads me out
I guess I don't live with the high-brows and the pig snouts
I don't fit in at all
I guess I am an ass hole.
Living in the suburbs
Driving down the cognac.

Hey, where you going?
Do you need a ride
You look tired
You can rest up
My house is on the way
I have an extra room with a view
You can stay there for awhile
I run a B&B with a vacancy
You can stay free for tonight
I should of said to think it through real hard because there’s no going back
What a fool, what a fool for them to fall in my trap
When you open your eyes
Your clock starts ticking then
I left a knife in the basement
I left it there for you to find
I need game
I need a pleasure
I need something to fill this desire
So now it’s up to you and your decision
Will you run or will you fight
Brace yourself for the fight of your life because there’s nothing holding me back
I got no morals, I got no spirit and I couldn’t care less

Leave
Leave me out of this
I can’t keep taking your back anymore
I don’t know what to do about it
You drag me in the middle
And when you lie you expect me to turn my head the other way
From where I stand I can notice
The weight of your decision getting heavier and heavier
Grin and bear the outcome of this.
Looking down a loaded gun
You’re just a dead man walking
I
I can’t stand you
You’re much different than when you wear your mask
Too bad,
I’m not feeding your beast of deception
From where I stand I can notice
The weight of your decision getting heavier and heavier
Grin and bear the outcome of this
Looking down a loaded gun
You’re just a dead man walking

I can’t start my step
I can’t get the courage
To move it along
To move it to the beat
Right here
Taking it home
Right now
Putting my hands in the air
Call me crazy for thinking it through
Call me crazy to do what I wanna do
But in these shoes
It’s me not you
So back up in line
I’m gonna do my dance
An awkward shuffle
Does it
Does it
Does it
Does it really have to make sense
I’m here far away
I’m here standing there
Trying to go along
I’m here
Waiting for the right time
Taking it easy
Right time to turn the engine on
Tell me I’m crazy
For following through
Tell me I’m crazy
For what I do for you
But all those things
It’s me not you
So please understand
I’m gonna do my dance
An awkward shuffle
Does it
Does it
Does it
Does it really have to make sense
She’s the one in my dreams

When can we stop pretending?
We keep moving apart
What can we do to fix this?
At this rate we won’t make a change.
Sitting here all alone
I reassure myself that I am ok
I’m rolling all around on my back
I’m doing fine but just alot of cocaine
The shit is outta sight
She is out of sight.
Sense the feeling in the air
Some are blind with affliction
Hate is raised well with conviction
Cycle breeds repetition
Sitting here all alone
I reassure myself that I am ok
I’m rolling all around on my back
I’m doing fine but just alot of cocaine
The shit is outta sight
She is out of sight
I think that we should change our clothes
I think that we should be different people
I’m tired of the skin I’m wearing
I just want to come out and say this
What are we doing?
The same blood we shed is flowing in our veins
The point your proving is proving only pain
Can’t you see that we are just the fucking same.
I think that we should be different people
I think that we should be different people
What are we doing?
I think that we should be different people
I think that we should change our clothes
I think that we should be different people.
