Face Value 04:59
lyrics
buy track
As all my friends and I start to bend and break away I’ll keep my mind at ease, just by humming these melodies While I appreciate your grand concern, I’ll depreciate instead My value’s no doubt gone down, but my song is never dead This is my place I don’t know what I’d do without it I don’t know what I’d do without it I don’t know, I don’t know I don’t know, I don’t know Face me friend, look into my eyes Face the music as we lie Face me friend, why is it so hard? Face value’s all we’ve got in this world, so make it shine in time This is the time when I begin to throw it all away These are the fears that I’d rather build upon than face I don’t believe that I could be the one who will try despite the risk When all of my world’s come down, I will still have all of this This is my place I don’t know what I’d do without it I don’t know what I’d do without it I don’t know, I don’t know I don’t know, I don’t know Face me friend, look into my eyes Face the music as we lie Face me friend, why is it so hard? Face value’s all we’ve got in this world, so make it shine I don’t know what I’d do without it I don’t know what I’d do without it I don’t know, I don’t know I don’t know, I don’t know Face me friend, look into my eyes Face the music as we lie Face me friend, why is it so hard? Face value’s all we’ve got in this world, so make it shine in time

Can of Worms 04:29
lyrics
buy track
I'm takin' it back to the old days Yet I'm layin' a track for some new ways Still I don't even know who the fuck I am Nowhere to go when your mindset's stuck No one to see when your brain's fucked up Climbin’ out of the fog, with some luck I can So inspired by the world but I can't make it last Pour it out in a song fuckin’ played fast In fact, I’ll keep it so fast you won't catch this Play the song on repeat makin’ breakfast Play the song on repeat, where’s the next hit? I’ll make the background music of the century Won't catch my face but you just might catch the stench of me But I’ll get through all of the bullshit Save this man from all this dull shit As long as there’s still folks like you about Worms can come out to play I’ll speak in a song ‘cause I can’t outright Perform on a stage, somewhere else paralyzed Has anybody here seen the missing mind of this man? Born with a curse, and what’s worse, I’m afraid Is that the candid array of my thoughts on display Will make me simply regret openin’ up this can of worms But ears ring yet again from a good night Beer sip, here's a cheers to the good life To stagnate feels great when the view's nice But when the music dies, you know I wanna go home Chill comes, now I’m livin' in a sweatshirt Won't make a move ‘cause I never wanna get hurt Sickness fades, think it's over, yet it gets worse, take me home But I’ll get through all of the bullshit Save this man from all this dull shit As long as there’s still folks like you around Worms can come outside to play, today

Supercharged! 05:23
lyrics
buy track
It’s nights like these where I’m supercharged Other days couldn’t force me to give a shit For now I’ll play with a passion, gonna play with fire It’s still my only reaction, get me through this Plug me in, charge this brain up Tune me out from all the strange stuff Plug me in, charge this brain up Tune me out from all the strange stuff I’m supercharged! Synapses sliced for long as I can tell Reconnect, and raise me from this mental hell The spark is back and flickerin’ somethin’ fierce and powerful Brain-a-blazin’, it’s amazin’, keg of powder blown Somethin’ from nothin’, keep on creatin’ Beyond belief, these things are still magic to me Tryin’ to take the whole world in at once Carve my place out slowly but surely and supercharged Plug me in, charge this brain up Tune me out from all the strange stuff Plug me in, charge this brain up Tune me out from all the strange stuff Plug me in, charge this brain up once again You gotta make the meaning, if you feel it When I think I figured out the formula I still end up getting fucked But it’s a labor of love, I still live for this buzz Forget my troubles when I’m distracted here with you There’s always a soundtrack playin’ in my mind Days when I’m bonkers, just want to jump out of my skin But this thing’s electric, lust like lightnin’ Putting your name in all of my songs yet I guess I won’t be seeing you tonight Putting your name in all of my songs yet I guess I won’t be seeing you tonight Rain only pours when the clouds fill up the skies Celebrate the fact that we’re alive Rain only pours when the clouds fill up, so Let’s celebrate the fact we’re still alive Plug me in, charge this brain up Tune me out from all the strange stuff Plug me in, charge this brain up Tune me out from all the strange stuff I’m supercharged!

Mind Racer 03:09
lyrics
buy track
Shut the fuck up for once, let me live through this day Can’t even recall what fun is, I want to murder my brain I’m in the prime of my life, but it just don’t quite feel like it I thought I wrote enough about this pain, but I keep dredgin’ up new shit This has been going on for too long, wish I could hop on out of this head space The synapse to nowhere prevents all smooth sailing, so I’m stuck in this place Healthy thoughts that I’ve not got, to all of you I say fare thee well Although my confidence and my competence, I’d like to think I fake ‘em fairly well Still I don't even know where it is that I stand And I don't even know who it is that I am, I wanna find out Still I don't even know where it is that I stand And I don't even know who it is that I am, I’m gonna find out now If life’s a joke, it’s a good one, so we’ll keep laughin’ at punchlines That’s why we’ll never grow old and up, we haven't lived through this day enough times We’ve got to keep holdin’ on, ‘cause there’s a method to sadness Gonna try to jumpstart my mind, keep takin’ steps towards the rad shit Though each new day is a mystery, why wallow face-down in misery? Through all these sad songs that we sing, just never stop bein’ silly We’ve still got value in this life, it’s bubblin’ up like a blitzkrieg But mind racer stomps on the brakes fine, he only stops when you’re with me Still I don't even know where it is that I stand And I don't even know who it is that I am, I wanna find out Still I don't even know where it is that I stand And I don't even know who it is that I am, I’m gonna find out Still I don't even know who it is that I am And I don't even know where it is that I stand, I wanna find out now

One Good Thing 05:04
lyrics
buy track
At least one good thing remains, but I can’t think of one thing At least this time I’m going to sing, I won’t let them take that away I've found life gets sad and strange, when the song’s done you can’t speak Like my life’s been on repeat Like my life’s been on repeat, find it hard just to see straight, just to face you But no one’s here to do it for you, and that’s the greatest thing We live, we love, yet we aren’t forced to, we lust after the sting Nothing in this world would stop us, face arrows and slings If you’re still here, I’m in At least one good thing remains, but I can’t think of anything At least this time I’m going to sing, I won’t let them take that away I've learned life gets sad and strange, when the song’s done you can’t speak Like my life’s been on repeat Like my life’s been on repeat, find it hard just to see straight, just to face you At least one good thing remains At least one good thing remains But no one’s there to do this for you, and that’s the greatest thing We kick, we fight, yet we aren’t forced to, we lust after the sting Nothing in this world could stop us, face arrows and slings If you’re still here, I’m in At least one good thing remains, and I don't know what I'd do without it
