Splash 04:42
Splish, Splash Your love was warm Warmer than the swimming pool Before I did a cannonball I should have dipped my toes in Your hands were cold But that’s just how it always goes The more you learn the more you grow The more I want to die alone And when the chemicals enter my skin And find where my depression lives alone I’m sick from last night’s swim I think too much Or maybe you don’t think enough Or maybe you don’t give a fuck Or maybe I just swear too much I’m freaking out You’re living in a fairy cloud Watch me run into the walls I guess I’m eating cat and mouse And when the chemicals enter my skin And find where my depression lives alone I’m sick from last night’s swim I wish that you would just start listening To every little thing that’s in my head So we can start again Jump It doesn’t even matter if you try We fake love It doesn’t even matter if you try Don’t go outside the weather’s nice Relax, splish splash enjoy the night Don’t go outside the weather’s nice Relax, splish splash I wish that you would just start listening To every little thing that’s in my head So we can start again I wish that you would just start listening To every little thing that’s in your head So we can start again I’m not another fish in the aquarium Cannonball Splish, splash Splish, splash

Three Words 02:04
You said three words No one’s ever prepared to hear Hey joe, the wifi’s down I looked directly in your eyes And we both freaked out We both freaked out Did you restart the router? Before I go and check it out And you said obviously I’m not a fucking idiot like wow What are we gonna do? You said call comcast Just give me a minute let me figure this out I haven’t talked to a stranger in years They’re gonna sell me lighting fast deals Hulu accounts on top of Hulu accounts It’s all crushing down on me Did you restart the router? Before I go and check it out And you said obviously I’m not a fucking idiot like wow What are we gonna do? We’re fucking screwed

Doctor 02:48
And when the doctor left the room, I stared at you You should have realized what we were going through And in that silent car ride home I lost my phone You should have realized the things you put me through You should have realized what we were gonna do It takes one second till it falls apart We get so fucking bored I know it’s difficult to understand I think I hate your band Don’t get serious Don’t get serious And when the doctor saw your eyes, he was surprised How could we ever be the same after that night? I think that we should just be friends My love descends I should have realized the things I put you through I should have realized what we were gonna do It takes one second till it falls apart The shit just hit the fan C’mon just give me one more second chance To start this up again Don’t get serious Don’t get serious Don’t get serious Don’t get serious

Twiddle my thumbs awaiting a facetime from the devil A little too much, a little too much He said, you’re awfully young to be selling your soul And my eyes rolled, millennials got it tough Let’s talk benefits and paid time off Do do do do do do do do do do I’m getting a job honey gonna get a real one I’m getting a job honey gonna get a real one Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs He said, Do you not understand you’re gonna burn in hell for eternity? And I chuckled, We’ve got student loans No groceries at home Alright sign at the x and I’m your new master Beats a bachelors in liberal arts What day can I start? Do do do do do do do do do do I’m getting a job honey gonna get a real one I’m getting a job honey gonna be a big boy Getting a job now, gonna get a real one Getting a job now, gonna get a real one, real one, real one, real one Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs

Phase One 04:23
Phase one, I’ll bury my dreams in the dirt Where my thoughts still root for you Phase two, I’ll drink till I’m numb And I’ll burn all the clothes your stink is on Phase three, I’ll catch some disease And I’ll shave my head bald cuz life goes on I swear I’m getting better Phase one, I’m over you The night sky is bluer than my depression socks And I’ll scream from the bottom of my lungs Are you listening? Phase four, I’ll hotwire your car And steal the CDs you used to love Phase five, when the police arrive I’ll learn how to bark like a good dog I swear I’m getting better Phase one, I’m over you The night sky is bluer than my depression socks And I’ll scream from the bottom of my lungs Are you listening? And I’ll be what you wanted me to be And I’ll marry a celebrity from the TV screen Divorce is the new dieting Are you listening? But in the middle of the night, I remember How your love has changed my life, I remember Don’t cry from your draining heart Don’t cry from your draining heart Don’t cry from your draining heart Don’t cry from your draining heart Don’t cry from your draining heart Don’t cry from your draining heart

Danny 04:25
Danny, I swear the hospital has never looked this ugly In this sunken bed, my head can barely move Honestly, I know that you are just a nurse, but can you help me? I’ve got a few demands, nothing out of the blue And the keys are hung right next to you I know they won’t approve It’s like a petting zoo There’s nothing more to lose It’s dinner time And we don’t care about anyone Burn out my lungs Why don’t you pump me up with heroin? Gamble my sons It’s getting difficult to figure out My time is wasting watching old reruns of jeopardy The smell of piss and shit is getting hard to breath Honestly, I’m sick off pudding cups and pronto pups And candy corn in plastic bowls from last year’s Halloween And you know it’d mean the world to me I’d love to feel nineteen a second time And we don’t care about anyone Burn out my lungs Why don’t you pump me up with heroin? Gamble my sons It’s getting difficult to figure out Light on I’m gone Light on I’m gone Light on I’m gone Light on I’m gone
