Wilso 05:47
lyrics
He’s been saving up every last hard-earned cent Browsing the listings to see what 40K can rent Stuck in Phoenix for now, car repairs must come first Soon he’ll be on his way, he knows he has the thirst You tell your dad it’s time It’s only a six hour drive You leave your cat behind Grandma tells you it’s fine Your sister says that she’s a bit jealous Brother in law says check out this restaurant When you’re finally alone You sit and you ponder Just you and the dog and a long road to wander This was Long overdue Run to The Southland There’s room For us all To make Something happen Free yourself of the conventional structure if you choose You were out here once and you returned too quick but you met a girl and hung on for a bit We drove back in our red van and we played a show just so you could see your old town of Fresno We headed to Sac and we stayed in a shack and we filmed a session that nobody ever saw Those days felt like a high point but it doesn’t have to stay that way forever and that’s why you’re coming back Gas it up Hit the road now Buddy in the back Tempe in the rearview Merge onto the 10 Punch it to 85 at least Crank the volume Our songs have guitar solos now Welcome home my friend

Not Worth It 03:58
lyrics
Sometimes we make mistakes Well that’s okay Sometimes I know I’m afraid Well that’s okay If it weren’t for this impeccable nonsense This shit would just feel tame Sometimes we make mistakes But we smile We smile instead of hate We insinuate the best and Sometimes we’re all okay What is it with these people? And what’s the fun in normalcy What’s the fun in being The only casualty in the inexplicable And unjustifiable diplomacy Trapped inside a cosmic tunnel Of whatever the fuck you want It’s amazing that all of this can be yours Just think about it It becomes this existing nature of yourself Just force it through and Ask the universe to act for you Act like you’re the reason she exists From cosmic disparity to eternal bliss But what’s the fun in that What’s it worth to the world Well fuck it it’s not worth much Maybe a penny or some thread Maybe a joke or a laugh instead Maybe we could work this out Maybe it’s impeccable Or even glorious Maybe it’s not worth it Maybe I asked for too much

Woodbury Road 03:15
lyrics
It has now been four long weeks existing from inside Living in some kind of fiction, avoiding friction, taking time I’ve gotten far too used to this already It’s nice to start and end each day with less of all the dreading First time I’ve seen most of my neighborhood out walking Everybody wears a mask now but somehow we all do more talking Right about this time I dream of going south I think I’ll take the opportunity to continue to shut my mouth Keep on reading, watch and wait We can all relate A walk down the street, don’t touch anything A trip to the store, people fighting over food to eat Where’s that check in the mail? Is there a check in the mail? At least lots of shit is on sale We can all use this time to grow up a bit Take break from the headaches and all the work life drama bullshit I might even try to get fit I’ll be a dad by the time this quits

Birthright 03:44
lyrics
I can see inside the womb It’s a soft glimpse of the future order And I know what I’ve got to do It’s time to pick up the pen and write things Down, down, down, are you down? To hang in the age of isolation Or I’ll be here in my room Writing for selective audience Somehow reassuring That all the learning Is likely blurry I can live with uncertainty The world is constantly trying to test that one on me And I saw all that was new In human form, oh generation Some little bits of me and you And lots of mystery in between The cycle living creatures through Present in the air It’s nearing time that we are due Never looking backwards I’ll make the wiser choice Plucking strings instead of voice So here’s the latest man Pull off ham-mer this one’s for Ren Crucial Terrified Objectively alive Enter Hospital Fluorescent light Incisions Decisions Blood type Breathe in Cut it Birthright

Somehow Cannot 05:09
lyrics
Mindful A simple example Intuitive at best Critical nevertheless The red sun It falls, it’s gone Make your amends to those you’ve hurt Take blame, remorse in this shit You were always the problem Interesting now that you’re the solution 
Get over it Show me the door Twelve steps away An ungodly amount of confidence Set up for failure Set up for God Set up for donation For all self righteousness Be my brother Cut through the sorrow Give me your knowledge Because I’m incapable Imperial lasting Generation scaling A little under the weather And a little misunderstood Guest User granted access
 Guest User in full getup Guest use has caught me A ghost that is haunting me Somehow cannot destroy me It’s nothing more than a fleeting moment Somehow cannot destroy me It’s nothing more than my desire to be broken A plane crashed down tonight And decided to save everyone on board A metaphor for this capsule I endure This vessel I could never Fully explore I had no choice but to live With what I’ve been handed 
So who am I going to blame? 

Somehow cannot destroy me It’s nothing more than a fleeting moment Somehow cannot destroy me It’s nothing more than my desire to be broken

Midnighter 04:44
lyrics
Dig yourself up out of bed Find the words to manifest thoughts stewing in your head Choke down a glass of h2o You just need two or three ideas State of mind like an open road Expiration date infinity Firing questions off like knowledge should be free Seeking inspiration from outside entities You’ll recognize it when it’s heard That’s sensibility Give yourself permission To make an embarrassing admission Only the Midnighter gets shit done these days, in the daily race I’m not laughing I’m just a little concerned I saw you walking from the cracks It caught me off guard 
But it is my time I have fallen to the grace of existence To believe in forever falling through It’s a little humorous I’m deflecting everything I ponder I thought that I saw an angel tonight Turns out that I was dreaming And as dreamers do I’ll come to terms with it for now 
The dawn will sing once more The dawn may have won the battle But at midnight there is still war Give yourself permission To make an embarrassing admission Only the Midnighter gets shit done these days, in the daily race I thought that I saw an angel tonight Turns out that I was dreaming And as dreamers do I’ll come to terms with it for now The dawn will sing no more The dawn has now lost the battle But at midnight there is still war

121 Degrees 06:24
lyrics
With a renewed sense of urgency They all fled back home to the scene Of the cinders burning bright Where it started they don’t how But how it spread so fast is obvious Over this desiccated land Pieces of ash float in the air Sun turns to red, can’t help but stare As I speed by on the bike Escalating year after year Before thirst can be quenched By the rains that never seem to appear Hotter and hotter every year Grab a bucket and douse your head Anything to keep yourself hydrated The summertime heat is accelerated There a tension lingering in the air From the smell of smoke And the black cloud overhead Ten thousand acres burned And it’s just drawing closer As we sit here at home in the driveway It’s time to grab the pets A bag of clothes and the drumset And make a break for the road Our things may burn Most is replaceable As long as we all make it out together Hotter and hotter every year Why must we live in fear We all can do more than just shed a tear It’s hotter and hotter every year The sky can’t hold her rain The ice has all melted away The ocean is up to our knees When the earth begins to seize The quaking in the ground In tidal waves the cities drown And the radiating heat 121 degrees

Kick Boots 03:02
lyrics
Apparently in patients Severely under the constant Battle of coherence These people see what they believe And count on the effects of medicine To perceive a lucid thought of something Tangible Don’t cut the cat's whiskers Their sense of self will deplete Fractured in some twisted nature Nothing more than a whisper She weeps at the edge of the bed Knowing it’s all in her head Some kind of twisted nature Nothing more than a whisper But most just don’t succeed Guided by some twisted apathy Or just exactly what was meant to be, apparently. Kick boots Sick youth breeds A fucked up truth Kick boots Tell everyone I’m sorry The nature of my nurture It’s haunting It’s something to be wanting But I can’t afford the therapy So go ahead and Kick boots with me

Pacific 03:49
lyrics
The Pacific ocean is calling Sheer force, ice caps melting Pandering to the people of the pandemic They’re falling for it Lock your front door Open a bag of chips Sit your kids down In the front row Keep their eyes peeled As the word begins to show Her true colors, her woes Jump on a zoom call from 9 to 5 See your friends turn into black screens and hide Isn’t it soothing to be confined within Your comfort zone Free to be yourself and sit on your own We’re not done, you’re not alone But the trees still need to compete For the sweet UV crystal streams Pack up, start the car and leave Call your best friend and Tell them you’re on your way Heading to the Pacific Ocean And you’re there to stay The sunset breathes and wonders The flora and the fauna reach beyond eternity We’ve finally made it to the edge of forever We can finally fly outside of our dreams Carry on with anything, feel nothing and absolutely everything Unlock your doors Go for a run Breathe the fresh air Let’s have some fun

Renée 05:13
lyrics
It’s Friday afternoon and you’ve finally arrived Just past 4PM on 10/16 and now it’s skin to skin time Gaze up at mom and dad and the fluorescent lights In time they wheel us to room 7209 You were looking perfectly alright Basking in the artificial heat lamp glowing bright At first you were breathing fine But all too soon we heard your breath rate start to climb We called the nurse in to come and take a look So far everything has all been pretty textbook I was thinking you’d come home with us today But then they took you away All strapped up with wires and trapped inside a pod Like some kind of futuristic visage I picked you up and you were so very strong Leaving you in this place is pushing mama's limits She’ll drive the 60 miles to feed you every day Until you’re home with us and we know that you’re okay And I’ll come and see you in your newborn spaceship By the weekend I’ll be driving you away To come home to the foothills To your family The animals are all eagerly awaiting Hear the street and gaze at all your new surroundings Listen for the screech of wild parrot flocks resounding Here we will teach you all we know Mother’s kindness and how to move slow Her sense of patience to help you grow You’ll know her boundless love like no one knows Father’s critique and searing tongue A solid sense of when to fight and when to run Play the game of life like a battle to be won Aggression taken out by beating on the drums From the both of us you’ll receive a few more Love of animals and never to be bored When to work and when to play and when to do the chores Balance head and heart and to be grateful for what’s more Renée The dreamer, Eliza awake
