I took a trip to Vomit Beach; All the kids were there. They were high and drunk, and they had flowers in their hair. No one wanted shit to do with me, well, I could see. They said "You ain't cool enough, and you're never gonna be" So I took a walk with myself, down the littered shore, and I found Hell... Punx with leather jackets and switchblade knives. They said "Do what we tell you if you don't wanna die". "Hand over your Orange Julius and all of your cash. Do it quickly now kid, before we have to kick your ass" Well, I just did what they asked. And I know I'm never coming back.

Here I go down in flames Feel like I lost my friends Watch me as I hit the ground I probably won't make a sound Forgot about and left to rot I sit alone with stupid thoughts What little in life that I've achieved Was all for naught, O' woe is me Last few weeks I did nothing I sat around and drank iced tea I played too many video games I watched way way way too much TV I sit back and take it all in (Inevitable death is creeping in) La La La Question: What is life? Here's the answer my friends: A pointless struggle to find meaning in A meaningless existence but ain't it... Fun?

Well I'm stuck between the seasons And I feel like shit All the things I loved to do Have become things I just wanna quit Everyone around me I think they can feel it The negative energy My soul now does emit And I hope the sun will come out for me soon For now I'll stay here locked up in my room Stuck between the seasons And things ain't right I toss 'n turn 'n sweat 'n scream And I just can't sleep at night Stuck between the seasons And I feel like shit All the things I loved to do Are now things I want to quit Everyone around me Well I know they feel this Negative energy My soul now does emit And I hope the sun will come out for me soon But if it don't aww fuck it, I'll always have the moon Stuck between the seasons And things ain't right I toss 'n turn 'n sweat 'n scream And I just can't sleep at night ...Or something like that...

Don't you think that I'm bound to react now? My fingers definitely turning to black now Maybe I'll put my love on ice Teach myself, that'll be nice My books are sitting at the top of the stack now The longer words are really breaking my back now Maybe I'll learn to understand Drawing a square with a pencil in hand Mathematically turning the page Unequivocally showing my age I'm practically center stage Undeniably earning your wage Maybe I'll put my love on ice Teach myself, that'll be nice Listen master, can I ask you a question: Is it the fingers, or the brain that you're teaching a lesson? I cant tell you how proud I am Writing down things that I don't understand Maybe I'll put my love on ice Teach myself, that'll be nice

Color me once Color me twice Everything gonna turn out nice Everlasting arms You gotta keep me from these false alarms Alarm, alarm I see you sad Ring, ring I see you I'm glad Maybe maybe I'm the fire of her desire Patience, patience Said the man Patience patience I can't understand Patience like a man and a wife I got patience on my neck like a cold cold knife I say Jack be nimble Jack fall dead Jack bend over and give Jilly head Oh you gotta help my body feel my soul Dead men working a sinner, a saint Mixing up a pail of paint Painted the house, black as night When the sun came up the house was white Gotta go on Gotta go on We gotta go on You gotta go on You gotta go on Go on Go on Try and live life like I couldn't

Half eaten candy canes litter the floor Wrapping paper balls taped stuck to the walls Sinks full of dirty dishes I hope these answer all your Christmas wishes Now back to the way things were before Back to fights and slamming doors Masks are off; true faces show Dirt mixes with melting snow Needles fall off of dead trees Bulbs burn out on Christmas light strings Boxed-up ornaments return to the attic Aw no, there goes the magic One last gathering this year As New Years Eve draws us near Watching strangers make out in Times Square Expensive shiny globe falls slowly Midnight kisses make me feel lonely

This year is not like the other ones This year today ain’t no fun Because No candy No costumes No parties No pumpkins Older than I feel Younger than I seem This is a crappy Halloween Just like a nightmare But not my dreams This year is not like the other ones This year today, today ain’t no fun Because No trick or treating No scary movies No haunted houses I got no one to hangout with Older than I feel Younger than I seem This is a crappy Halloween Just like a nightmare But not my dreams

A bunch of recordings from 2012 through late 2014.
