Balance 01:18
How do we find the balance between the things we both need I don't want this to mean that you will have to suffer for me
2.
The most devastating song I've ever heard Was the one you were singing in 1987 You were hoping to call one of your own But you didn't know that you were all alone What it must be like to spend all of your life Searching for another, and never find them And always wonder why
3.
Two Trains 00:58
An hour on the yellow line I walk across the street Another hour on the pink line Til we finally meet And I would do it again As long as there's a train That can bring me to you You can count on it I will see you soon
4.
Every morning I step outside and fill every hole dug by squirrels the night before And while I'm out there I take daily stock of every new sprout and seedling Recently I have found that I'd rather be In the dirt than on the couch Walking aimlessly in the woods doesn't feel so aimless then I'm looking for food Any leaf that I can eat, or any mushroom on a tree: a new discovery Recently I have seen a better part of me Pulled away from the screens
5.
If there's one thing you can count on, the bad guys will always win If we can look forward to anything, it's every bad thing you've imagined And a 5-acre prairie may seem insignificant But it's more about the lack of respect for anything unprofitable: "I can't make money off it, so fuck it"
6.
Suffer Twice 01:41
I don't know what it was, but it feels like I lost it Every one is a struggle, and finished products are underwhelming Looking back, I wish that I had appreciated the art that I was making Cause now I listen back on music that I made, and nothing new compares It doesn't sound the same I wonder what it was that made me write those songs Do I have to be in pain? Must I suffer for my art?

You know, I'd like to, but I gotta be in at a quarter to 3 And tomorrow they want me in early Maybe this weekend if you're free? Oh, you're not. Well fuck me Just text me and we'll figure something out In a month from now I've got a house I need to keep clean And I've got friends that I'd like to see And I've got songs that I'd like to sing if I can write some And these two kitties want some pets But what good am I, what's the value in my life If I'm off the clock, doing my own shit Making no one rich? Work isn't why we're here It's not what we're meant to do Everybody quit your job and kill your boss And burn your clothes and smash your phones And forage food and hug your friends

Sad Song 00:47
You told me if I wanted to write a sad song All I had to do was think about a time in my life When I felt that way And lately I've been trying to take your advice And I've been thinking long and hard And now I'm convinced that I've never been sad in my entire life I should have a song, or at least an idea, figured out by now
10.
I say it to myself every day and I say it to you on occasion when I'm feeling it I'm always sincere about it. I mean it. Trust me, I'd really like to do it but then The day comes by and I've convinced myself that I'm crunched for time Even when I've got the time and I think the truth is that I just don't have the energy to Walk around the woods with for hours with you Even though I'd really love to Find some mushrooms and bring them home and cook them with you I'm just too tired but I Promise this year I'll put in extra effort and try To pull my fat ass of the couch We'll fry some chicken of the woods this time
11.
Cargo 02:23
Packed tight in the back of a truck with dozens more just like me Try to align my eye with a hole in the wall so I can see the sky I know exactly where we're going Offload in a panicked charge. A man kicks me to herd me in Door slams shut behind us, trapped with the stench and the screams I know exactly what's happening
12.
After months of effort, I'm down 10 pounds Get tired and stressed out And now I'm up by 20 fucking pounds Finally have some cash Enough that I'm not sweating it Get sick, and now I'm right back in it It's funny how easy it is to fuck yourself And how hard it is to dig yourself out
13.
It sounds like a joke but I swear it's the truth I wouldn't be the man I am today Without the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games I don't skate and I never did But it formed my taste in music And that inspired the clothes that I'd wear And those two things led to the friendships I made as a kid And those guys made me
14.
Someone once told me, I don't remember who, High school will be the best years of your life And don't get me wrong, I remember them fondly But if I could push back a little I think despite all my stressors and all our oppressors Despite the money and politics and time The people around me, my friends I love dearly, Have made these the best years of my life And I know that I'm / still riding the high From the other night But the love that I feel/ every time I am with you guys Has made me feel alive In a way that's hard to describe So here in my 30's / long after I thought I'd made all the friends that I'd have High school feels / like it was a launch pad Bringing me to where I am With great friends new and old A well of love that's only grown
