Track Name: The Beating of a Lifetime
THE BEATING OF A LIFETIME

life sucks then you die
thanks, Dad, for the advice
you aim low you get by
you won't win so don't try

the beating of a lifetime
is taking it's toll tonight

one by one, my fingers giving back
the grip they thought they had
one by one, my fears evaporate
i find the strength to say
enough is enough

i don't mind being stuck
down here in this rut
honestly, it is just
this routine i'm afraid of

what good are these bars of gold
when the world comes to an end
maybe we could use them
to smash our brains in
what good is this heart and soul
when the mind and the body
have lost all hope
Track Name: I'm No Sure Thing
I'M NO SURE THING

no more hooking up
you want to settle down
though i'm a square you don't care
you still want me to be a round

no more feeling bad
'cause that's all in past
this thing i feel is real
got my heart beating so fast

i'm no sure thing
i wouldn't count on me
but i promise i can be everything you need

i sleep the days away
just laying in your bed
and while you work
i wish you were home with me instead

you felt disconnected
i felt so rejected
i'm glad we repaired it
it's way better
Track Name: Doom & Gloom
DOOM & GLOOM

another shitty night
it's party time
but i dont feel like
the partying kind

i know you've kissed almost
everyone in this goddamn room
i'm doom & gloom

i mope around
with these guns in my mouth
bringing everyone down
no matter how little I try

found the misery in everything
it's the gift I bring
when you're all laughing

insincerity looming over me
what can I do? I'm doom & gloom

it's the end of an error
watch it all implode
this is prolific filler
watch my head explode

and i joke around
with these guns in my mouth
they make it hard not to drool
nevermind crack a smile
Track Name: No Songs Is Good Songs
NO SONGS IS GOOD SONGS

laying low on a friday night
sipping on a box of wine
remote controls like microphones we
On-Demand some karaoke
on the floor the kittens fight
cheeks are warm we're feeling bright
we talk about our future plans
the house, the kids, the aliens

what's this i never sing about our relationship?
that's just 'cause everything seems to be perfect

subhuman saturdays
marathon mysteries
stuff our guts with Pizza Days
while we crack the case of Jon Benet
i'll retire to my instruments
when you tune into your Beverly Hills
I might write a killer riff
while David's friend shoots himself again

truth is i'm not ashamed so please dont get me wrong
you've got to understand no songs is good songs

sunday morning apartment cleanse
first things first let me pest for sex
i'll even buy the Diet Cokes
if you run in so i don't have to

hope i haven't said too much
felt the need to express the love
i have for you and our day to day
wouldnt want it any other way
Track Name: Better My Future
BETTER MY FUTURE

I got the tools to
better my future
so I can prove I
am not a loser
work
sleep
Track Name: Fear Of Loss
FEAR OF LOSS

everyones got advice to give
chock full of contradiction
they all know what's best for us
better than we know ourselves

don't drag your feet or she might leave

they all tell me to lock it in
before we fall out of love
the hard-sell just ain't working
i'm not sold on the fear of loss

everyones got a life to live
but some just aren't that interesting
perhaps they could concern themselves
with why they don't have anyone

let em' talk
let em' say what they want
everyones got advice to give
everyones got a life to live
Track Name: Moving Backwards
MOVING BACKWARDS

do you remember all the songs we used to scream
from the top of our lungs 'til we couldn't breathe?
thought we'd sing forever

now you're forgetting all about the plans we made
bailing out without a word to say
onto something better

only wish i knew what i did or didn't do
you found some other dudes to sweat all over you

always kept it real
never lost our passion
but i can't help but feel
that we're moving backwards

arms are folded you look cool ignoring me
so aloof full of apathy
heart is frozen

let's go through the motions like a tool in a factory
burned-out coil, but this old machine
is far from broken
