Armchair General

I wrote it down
Because that is how I felt
I don't feel that way now
But back then it was so real
The anger left inside
Lingers on a million days
But moving on
Those songs are songs
And everything is fine

Drunken Smiles
02:02
|

It's just me and a guitar
A tape recorder and some words
I'll play some chords to fit the mood
And I'll think of you so nothing hurts
Someone has already done this
But that's alright with me
It's just some stupid chords
And some words and melody
Do you remember when everyone
Was here last week?
Drunken smiles on faces
Most everybody was smoking weed
Sometimes I think about
How good it could be
With all my friends in one place
Especially you and me
The song needs a second verse
And I don't wanna repeat the first
The chords still play on
And I think of you and it just gets worse
I miss you and you miss me too
But that's not enough for me
'cause all I have are these stupid words
These fucking chords and melody
Do you remember when everyone
Was here last week?
Drunken smiles on faces
Most everybody was smoking weed
Sometimes I think about
How good it could be
With all my friends in one place
Especially you and me
Do you remember when everyone
Was here last week?
Drunken smiles on faces
Most everybody was smoking weed
Sometimes I think about
How good it could be
With all my friends in one place
Especially you and me

Drink About Someone
01:08
|
|||
I want to write about something else
How about that time
When we drank until the sunrise
Got on our skateboards
And drank in the Atlantic sunrise
Leaving the water
We almost stepped on a stingray
Then you fell off your skateboard
You fucked your hand and elbow up
But the show that night was fine
I want to think about something else
There was that time
When we drank in that abandoned graveyard
Then we bombed some hills
And lit that fire on the train tracks
We laughed as the train came
On that night I remembered
We would be friends for life
Though we drink until the sunrise
The show is always fine
I want to dream about something else
I want to drink about someone else

This Song
02:29
|
|||
I should go write that paper
But instead I'll write this song
I have to study for that final
But I'll sit and play guitar
My sleep is all fucked up
It's freezing in this fucking town
My friends are likely drunk
That's the easy way to think you're warm
Alone in this tiny town
And I still keep fucking up
Mostly alone in this tiny town
And I still keep drinking up
It's five AM again and I'm still up
Sleeping is my best friend
With the worst intentions
Distractions keep me sane
Texting drinking writing nothing
Drinking numbs the brain
I don't want to do the shit they want me to
I know I miss my friends
Pictures just don't do them justice
Writing useless words again
But I guess they fucking get me through
Alone in this tiny town
And I still keep fucking up
Mostly alone in this tiny town
And I still keep drinking up
It's five AM again and I'm still up
Sleeping is my best friend
With the worst intentions
I should go write that paper
But instead I'll write this song
I have to study for that final
But I'll sit and play guitar
My sleep is all fucked up
It's freezing in this fucking town
My friends are likely drunk
That's the easy way to think you're warm
Alone in this tiny town
And I still keep fucking up
Mostly alone in this tiny town
And I still keep drinking up
It's five AM again and I'm still up
Sleeping is my best friend
With the worst intentions
Distractions keep me sane
Texting drinking writing nothing
Drinking numbs the brain
I don't want to do the shit they want me to
I know I miss my friends
Pictures just don't do them justice
Writing useless words again
But I guess they fucking get me through
Alone in this tiny town
And I still keep fucking up
Mostly alone in this tiny town
And I still keep drinking up
It's five AM again and I'm still up
Sleeping is my best friend
With the worst intentions

Song Thirteen
02:51
|
|||
A year ago the pain came from my brain
It still hurts every once in awhile
Thirty years of punishment
Thirty years malnourishment
And now my body is fighting back
I hope my brain isn't just distracting me from itself
I hope my brain isn't just distracting me from itself
I'll awake from the pain in my back
It's the same ill-fitting morning as before
Physical more than emotional it attacks the same
Fuck yeah it still hurts
(it fucking hurts)
I hope my brain isn't just distracting me from itself
I hope my brain isn't just distracting me from itself
(I'm at war)
I am at war with my brain
(with my brain)
And I think that it's winning
(it dies with)
Killing my body with ease
(every drink)
It dies with every drink
I'll get sick again
It all spins around
I'll fall asleep again
And dream everything is fine
Strive for improvement
Try not to let it win
Keep puking keep sleeping
I hope my brain isn't just distracting me from itself
I hope my brain isn't just distracting me from itself
(I'm at war)
I am at war with my brain
(with my brain)
And I think that it's winning
(it dies with)
Killing my body with ease
(every drink)
It dies with every drink

I'm The DD Today
01:09
|
|||
I've got some shit to do
But why do it today?
I've finally got a bed
And sleep and music and a beer
So I'll drink today away
I'll hardly leave the bed
And I'll make some plans that don't pan out
Day drink today
You can come over if you want
But I won't put on a shirt
We'll put a couch in the front yard
We'll drink until we puke
So we'll drink today away
In the sun in the front yard
And we'll fall asleep before it's dark
Day drink today
I'm day drinking today
Whiskey beer day drink
I'm day drinking today
Whiskey beer day drink
So we'll drink today away
So I'll drink today away
In the sun in the front yard
And we'll fall asleep before it's dark

Embrace Impermanence

My friends care if I die
And that's the best thing that I could ask for
Among all the shitty people I've found a lot
Who I can trust to be there in the shittiest time of life
(fucked up time of life)
So it's to you that I drink to tonight
The ones who are there 'til we die
And now's the time to say it
Thanks I'll love you 'til I die
When everything falls apart
Cliches all become true
But that's what they offer you until a friend speaks brilliance
And you start to pull through
(you fucking will pull through)
I'll pour this second one for you tonight
My friends who always speak the truth
Now's the time to say it
Thanks I'll love you 'til I die
I'll drink this last round for you tonight
My friends who are there 'til we die
Now's the time to say it
Thanks I'll love you 'til I die

Living alone with no TV or internet
Can make you realize how unproductive
Your life can really be
Sometimes the songs just pour out of you
And there's so much that you want to say
To the person that you can't
And I don't have the courage for that
Maybe I'll find it somewhere
I'll keep adding letters
To the words that aren't there
Everything sounds the same
It's all the same
Living alone with no TV or internet
Can make you realize how unproductive
Your life can really be
Sometimes the songs just pour out of you
And there's so much that you want to say
To the person that you can't
And I don't have the courage for that
Maybe I'll find it somewhere
I'll keep adding letters
To the words that aren't there
Everything sounds the same
It's all the same
I've heard that before
It's all been done
But I still don't have the courage for that
Maybe I'll find it somewhere
I'll keep adding letters
To the words that aren't there
Everything sounds the same
It's all the same

Something About Nothing
03:04
|
|||
On the brink of something
This is about nothing
It's not about you or her
I'll write this because I don't have it
What it takes to say
What I want to tell them
Not fully sure what that is
Just vague ideas floating around in my brain
I can't formulate them
(can't formulate)
Mind can't encapsulate them
(encapsulate)
Can't think of what to say
(think what to say)
Forever I'll write about nothing
My thoughts stay on the same thing
(my thoughts the same)
Sadness for when you leave me
(when you leave me)
Repetition about nothing
(repetition)
Gotta write this about something
There's still a lot more room
To address concern for you
Those words that I can't write
Instead I'll write this pointless rhyme tonight
Never gonna say it
Won't have the chance to play it
For you tonight 'cause you are right
Convictions I can't summarize in song
I can't formulate them
(can't formulate)
Mind can't encapsulate them
(encapsulate)
Can't think of what to say
(think what to say)
Forever I'll write about nothing
My thoughts stay on the same thing
(my thoughts the same)
Sadness for when you leave me
(when you leave me)
Repetition about nothing
(repetition)
Gotta write this about something
And when you talk to me
We speak of brilliant things
They evade me somehow
Before I get a chance to put them down
And if they come right back to me
Thoughts constantly escaping me
I'm missing clarity
Lacking pride to say what I want to
I can't formulate them
(can't formulate)
Mind can't encapsulate them
(encapsulate)
Can't think of what to say
(think what to say)
Forever I'll write about nothing
My thoughts stay on the same thing
(my thoughts the same)
Sadness for when you leave me
(when you leave me)
Repetition about nothing
(repetition)
Gotta write this about something
Gotta write this about something

Orion's rising in the sky and
I can sense that it's that time of year
I'll get to drink with all of my friends
In that desert we call home
We'll burn and drink a million warm-flat beers
But I'll be dreaming of the road
To everyone it's so important
The meaning's not the same
We're all striving for it
This time I don't
To everyone it's so important
The meaning's not the same
We all struggle for it
This time I don't
This year it's all so odd to me
It feels so routine
That's not how it's supposed to be
On this I feel that I'm alone
I'd rather be out on the road
Drop everything race towards that burning goal
To everyone it's so important
The meaning's not the same
We're all striving for it
This time I don't
To everyone it's so important
The meaning's not the same
We all struggle for it
This time I don't wanna go
To everyone it's so important
The meaning's not the same
We're all striving for it
This time I don't
To everyone it's so important
The meaning's not the same
We all struggle for it
But I know when we get there
It'll feel like home
It feels like home

This Merch Is A Pipebomb
01:23
|
|||
I lost my backpack in El Paso
It contained one important thing
We lost some gear in New Orleans
And we also lost our weed
We drank and smoked on a porch in Nashville
Drank fighting cock with Chris
The one thing that fucking sucked
Was coming home to find that
This merch is a pipebomb
Fueled by beer in Austin, Texas
Dave rode the tall bike down the stairs
We played a full basement in Flagstaff
There're fucking awesome people there
In Vegas TBR showed up
We filled that room up with smoke
The Buick made it back to Reno
And I don't think that we went broke
This merch is a pipebomb
Someone stole our merch at the returning show
We lost money to guarantee
So why come home?
Someone found our suitcase in the parking lot
With all our shirts, posters, patches and a note that read
This merch is a pipebomb

Married At Thirty
03:07

How could you forget something like this?
We walked along that dark path
Until we found that open park bench
We sat and talked and smiled
It was my birthday
And you were the one who cared
We had a real meal and laughed
As we took in that
It was my birthday
And you were the one who cared
On that spring night downtown
I came up for a visit
And stayed with you
Those times were glorious
We drank wine
Listened to tunes
Conversed about the future
I remember that deal we made
We drunkenly made out
And fell asleep in each other's arms
I woke to few words I left
And knew I would see you again
I was driving through your town
I stopped by you showed me around
We had such a great evening
With drinks and food and I drove home
I remember that deal we made
I remember that deal we made
The last time I saw you
We were back downtown
We laughed over beers
As I was still sulking in pain
You were the one
(you are the one)
(I think the one)
(you're still the one)
(I hope the one)
(you were the one)
I thought of all along
We walk through the park with our drunken smiles
It's twelve years later and I still drink of you
The calls have long stopped but the love it grew
Someday I will see you again
We'll laugh and drink and talk about how we have been
I wonder if it's you and do you feel the same?
If we saw each other would we laugh and smile everyday?
Those years are just fading into memories
Drunken pictures only kind of bring you back to me

Enough with the fuck yous for now
Aside from her I am a happy person
I share this shit because
My life is great yours could be too
A friend told me she was amazed
How I'm laid back and driven all at the same time
It just comes naturally
I used to love to sleep
Now I'll stay up and drink and
Write dumb songs and be alone
It's good to be alone
So pick up a guitar and sing a song
Just play the one that means the most to you right now
Fuck everyone else just sing for you
And you may learn it's good to be alone
I'm starting to forget a life and learn
Something new forget the constant reminders
And learn someone new
So pick up a guitar and sing a song
Just play the one that means the most to you right now
Fuck everyone else
