i have made my life a wreck but i'm not done just yet there's more to life than feeling regret hold on to the goals you set darkness is a place i kno there are better places to go get there fast or get there slow just know that you're not alone

ugly day 03:38
well, i was walking down the street and i thought, "what an ugly day" the sky was white, the trees were brown, the ground was covered with dying birds people's faces all look the same, covered up and buried down night time brings out the worst in you, alcohol does it too there's not a star in the sky, standing on top of the parking garage smoking, dreaming, i could die any day now and it wouldn't matter caught up in words, flashbacks and addictions she's a real good woman (oh, fuck off!) well, i was walking into the park and i thought, "what an ugly day" the sky was white, the trees were brown, the grass was blue and i miss you people's faces all look the same, covered up and buried down i wanted to say, i wanted to say, "how are you? how are you?"

discharging 01:38
i still drink milk and sometimes eat meat, even though i know it's wrong i still watch porn and eat junk food, even though i know it's unhealthy i still take anti-depressant pills, but these days that's pretty common i still smoke herbal cigarettes, but there's nothing with that, i still don't care about a politics, even though i know i should i still get jealous and bitter at times, even though i think i'm a Buddhist what's right, what's wrong, it really doesn't matter to me what's good, what's bad, it really doesn't matter to me the world is fucked, and it really doesn't matter to me and we're all fucked, and it really doesn't matter, no it really doesn't matter, no it really doesn't matter to me.

no one 02:45
no one really knows you no one really cares for you so won't you take this off my hands and give me a band so i can stand on stage once more and pretty soon we'll get the score without much to say at all just waiting for a phone call to tell me that i'm to finally take my leave and thanks for all the work you've done this far or should i say the work you haven't done this far

otter song 06:56
he came in in the middle of the night he came in in there looking for a fight there were pieces of broken glass on the ground there were people on the street standing around he took one look and said that i don't know to him it felt like any other show there noises coming down from the stage there were voices in his head filled with rage he stood in line waiting at the bar the special was four dollar pbr after six he could finally gain the courage to go up to who he was to have a stir with he tapped him on the back of his shoulder after that the room got colder he shoved him into a bunch of empty tables knocking over cans of different labels after that things got violent suddenly the band went silent security was called to end the fight but the coward somehow ran off into the night blood was dripping down from his nose other blood now stained his clothes the cops were called and filed a report the man chose what was now his last resort he found himself all covered in water he must have somehow turned into an otter he swam off as the sun started to rise imagining the look in her surprise
