Half Assed

What did they say about “finding direction”?
Something about taming my imperfections?
I can’t stand to be the epitome
of underachieving and overreacting
Remember when it was so satisfying,
To run through the fall leaves on a Saturday night?
Now you’ve got obligations to change into
the person you’ve always hated
How many more beers until I see this light?
If you’re talking about guidance I don’t need this tonight
‘Cause I’d rather leave this fucking city
across the great plains of my indifference
The lake shines a cold blue at me tonight
and I’m only here because nothing feels right
We just keep on talking but the story’s the same
keep on doing something just to get me through the day
Get me through the day x3
All these half-assed answers
to the questions I have
And all these half ideas
running through my head
There’s no motivation/ for keeping it up
Great expectations/ but the attempt is dull
Why even bother/ spelling this out
Nothing’s forever/ NOTHING’S 4EVR
Nothing’s forever x2 or x4 idk

I’m hoping that this day is done as soon as it can be
‘cause I’ve been drinking Irish coffee since the sun came in on me
Losing all my marbles to maintain normality
But isn’t really even worth it to keep blaming shit on me
Well…
I don’t know/ I don’t know
just leave me alone
X2
Yeah I’m going somewhere to find my mind and I won’t see you at alllllll
What will I do with all that time I DON’T KNOW (YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH)
Stay drunk, smoke up cuz we all die and that’s the way it fucking goes
I try to be sincere enough I wanna just keep putting up I wanna have a life that is mine so
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE

The black cat’s a little late I guess my bad luck’s already begun (oh oh oh woah oh oh oh)
Walk under a ladder, smash a mirror, nothing matters anywayyyyyyyyyyyy
I hope this all works out because my option’s almost up
(oh oh oh woah oh oh oh)
So I invoke the sacred the rite in hopes that I can make it to work on tiiime
I’ve lost all my hope/ I’ve given up on trying
So sick of this curse/ defeat on the horizon
Been plagued been diseased/ and left out for dead
The sign of the black mark/ encompassing dread!
So all we have/ are sad songs
Because there’s no victories/ yeah there ain’t no victories
All we have/ are sad songs
So raise a glass and give three cheers to misery!
Send the locusts, bring the rains, and take all you have given away (oh oh oh woah oh oh oh)
I’m only happy during a torrential fucking downpourrrrrrr
I hope this all works out because my option’s almost up
(oh oh oh woah oh oh oh)
So I scream to the abyss for some forgiveness, but it just stares back at meeeeee
I’ve lost all my hope/ I’ve given up on trying
So sick of this curse/ defeat on the horizon
Been plagued been diseased/ and left out for dead
The sign of the black mark/ encompassing dread!
So all we have/ are sad songs
Because there’s no victories/ yeah there ain’t no victories
All we have/ are sad songs
So raise a glass and give three cheers to misery!

Yeah I don’t wanna fake this/ but I don’t know what to do
So I’ll apologize for every time I’m lost
The winter brings some heavy snow/ and a sobering but pleasant cold
So I think I’ll drink out on your porch tonight
I don’t wanna be here/ yeah I don’t wanna be here
I don’t wanna be here anymooooorrreee
And even if we tried to go/ the traffic’s moving way too slow
And a quarter tank of gas won’t go too faaaaaar
What’s the point of waiting/ for things to change around me
since everyone is passed out on the ground
It’s nice to hear the sentiment/ but I know that you’re all full of shit
So let’s change the subject before lose my head
I don’t wanna be here/ yeah I don’t wanna be here
I don’t wanna be here anymooooorrreee
And even if I tried to go/ the traffic’s moving way too slow
And a quarter tank of gas won’t go too faaaaaar
Exhaustion/ closes my eyes
After hours/ of rotting out my mind
But I can’t seem to get to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppppp
I don’t wanna be here/ yeah I don’t wanna be here
I don’t wanna be here anymooooorrreee
And even if I tried to go/ the traffic’s moving way too slow
And a quarter tank of gas won’t go too faaaaaar

Another night, can’t sleep again because I can’t seem to shake these awful thoughts
About you and him and me and you and how everything just seems like it’s all gone
Plagued by these coughs and little doubts, the only we have is just shit luck
I try to wish for wishful thinking but all this drinking’s got me losing in the long run woah oh
We’ll try our best to keep clear heads but distress is all we knowwwwww
S.O.S! please save our souls, before the tide comes rushing in
Take everything as a joke, the defeatist’s sleight of hand
We can sing these songs and dance along until our lungs have all but given up
So we’ll keep on screaming forever mooooooorrrre
We’ll try our best to keep clear heads but distress is all we knowwwwww
Yeah I I I III/ wanna make it out ali i i iiive
After all the drugs we’ve tried, and drinking all the time, hope we make it out alright
X2
Anxiety takes away from me/ and I’m not the same as I used to be
Spend endless nights with endless worry/ about the things I’ll never change
Yeah I I I III/ wanna make it out ali i i iiive
After all the drugs we’ve tried, and drinking all the time, hope we make it out alright
X2

Not a day goes by where I’m not regretting
all the mistakes I think I’ve ever maaaade
Stories told at every drunken night
But the theme remains to stay the same
I’ve spent/ so many restless nights/ thinking about how ow ow ow ow ow ow ow I’m
Gonna climb out/ of this hole I’ve dug myself/ is it even worth to try?
This basement/ it’s grown three stories high!
Can’t escape all this dissatisfaction
because I’m afraid of feeling fi i ine
But I guess it’s just another vice
Just not the one that gets me high
I’ve spent/ so many restless nights/ thinking about how ow ow ow ow ow ow ow I’m
Gonna climb out/ of this hole I’ve dug myself/ is it even worth to try?
The event horizon/ inescapable as time/ on the black hole of my miiiind!
I’ve spent/ so many restless nights/ thinking about how ow ow ow ow ow ow ow I’m
Gonna climb out/ of this hole I’ve dug myself/ is it even worth to try?
I apologize/ I know I messed it up this time/ but I hope it’s not goodbyyyye!
I’ve spent/ so many restless nights/ thinking about how ow ow ow ow ow ow ow I’m
Gonna climb out/ of this hole I’ve dug myself/ is it even worth to try?

Think I may have been possessed by demons
I was just dropped on my head as a kid.
Even psychopaths have emotions, then again maybe not.
If the blue meanies are gonna get me, they better do something.
Total paranoia is just total awareness.
They can never run away without falling down
And they can never ever leave without making any kind of sound
And they never ever check to see if anyone's around
And I don't like it/ Just give me a challenge!
Sometimes clowns can get away with murder
This world is nothing but evil, my own evil happened to come out.
They can never run away without falling down
And they can never ever leave without making any kind of sound
And they never ever check to see if anyone's around
And I don't like it/ Just give me a challenge!

Another time to pull over to the shoulder
Check engine light is engraved into my eyes
Am I out of gas or am I just being dramatic
One more mile? Fuck it. We should try
And I don’t know if I can take this/ ‘cuz it’s really got me down
And you know that maybe it’s overrated/ another song without a sound
So please remind me of who I am, before I check out
Not again, this fucking ship is sinking
Bail out the water before we die
I’m not surprised that sharks are already circling
To feast upon another tattered life
And I don’t know if I can take this/ ‘cuz it’s really got me down
And you know that maybe it’s overrated/ another song without a sound
So please remind me of who I am, before I check out
We’re breaking down (we’re breaking down)x6

Ignoring phone calls at the station/ waiting for some train to take me 10 stops too far
I JUST WANNA SULK AND SCREAM OUT AT THE BACKGROUND!
Because I’m so sick of “Hey, what’s going on?”
I hope we’re all ok, yeah we’re all ok, so just stay and wait for nowwww
And if you won’t, I will try to understand
All I can try to do is focus/ my vision’s shot and these drinks just won’t stay down
I WANT TO SAY THIS TO BEST OF MY ABILITIES:
“Are you ok? Hey, what’s going on?”
I hope we’re all ok, yeah we’ll be ok, so just stay and wait for nowwww X2
And if you won’t, I will try to understand

PART ONE:
Put the bottle down, I think you’ve had enough
and the cold has started to sink into your lips
Tomorrow’s looking like we’ll have some warmer weather
so we can reconvene this meeting at sunset
We’ll talk drunken politics between breaths of Pall Mall cigarettes or how the Bears went 3-13
Or how it’s nice to just have company…
Nothing is perfect/ and that’s just scratching the surface/ of a deeper wound that’s closed up and scabbed away
Milo went to college/ yeah well maybe I shouldn’t have
Because the biggest debts I still have to pay
So I cursed the Earth and tried almost every thing but I still feel the same
And you, you can’t move on/ afraid of feeling sane/ even just for mo-ment
Bracing for impact/ the passengers panic/ and this old thing won’t ever run the same
Screaming in short bursts/ over major chords/ was once cathartic but now it’s overplayed
So I cursed the Earth and tried almost every thing but I still feel the same
And you, you can’t move on/ afraid of feeling sane/ even just for moment
And now/ everyon’e gone/ the silence is deafening and I know that makes no sense
So maybe we just try and start againnnnnn
PART TWO:
The day’s lasting longer/ and the heat will hit harder than it ever has
So let’s drink another/ and puke it up on the Metra tracks
I’m walking the long way/ no busses or subways/ just you and me
But will we feel better/ after our stomach’s have settled/ of everything?
And we can play all the right chords
Make sure we sing all the right words
Before we give up and go home
It’s far too late for that now
X2
I’m missing the last train out of this tooooooowwwwwnnn
(AND I DON’T WANT TO STAY HERE AGAIN!)
PART THREE:
I don’t mean to be angry/ but it’s just so degrading
when everything I strive for is out of reaCH^ and I can’t decide if I’m too short or too lazy
So I can keep on singing in tongue-in-cheek
or go earn enough to survive the weeks aheeeeeaaaaad
(EVERYONE NOW)
BUT ALL I WISH FOR FALLS AMISS
I’M LIVING DEAD CHOKING ON FLESH
All is lost before it’s forgotten/ and this apocalypse hasn’t even started yet
X2
WOAH OH OH WOAH OH OH WOAH OH OHHH OH OH OH x4
