You're telling me there's beer on Fridays?
Well sign me up, cause who needs friends anyways?
I'm sick of hearing you say, hard work hard play.
Do you really like those games?
If it works for you that's great, but I'm not wired that way.
You won't see me running the race.

Play time's over it's all done,
so what's the fun when it's all planned out for you?
Copy and paste for best results. The archetype has been pre-molded.
Guess I'll be seeing you around.
I tried to grow up, but I don't know how.
Another face into the crowd.
It's time to put away your toys.
Leave childish things behind conform before you
head face first into the crash,
or hold on tight and brace for impact.
Guess I'll be seeing you around.
I tried to grow up, but I don't know how.
Society collective frown.
You better stake your claim, before it gets to late.
Better sign on the line, before you're left behind.
What's the point of forcing something on yourself
if it's not what you want or what feels right
just cause you tell yourself that you're behind?
Play time's done your time's run out,
so get in line to get bent over.
Guess I'll be seeing you around.
I tried to grow up, but I don't know how.
Another face inside the crowd.

Pat as Fuck

He's the guy at the show in the wolf mask
leather jacket from 1980.
You've never seen a finer product out the Mack Valley scene.
He dyes his hair blond, collects VHS tapes,
he'll make you a sweet vegan taco,
cause he doesn't like burgers or steaks.
A soft-spoken man, he doesn't waste words,
but watch out when he drops one-liners,
it's the best shit that you've ever heard.
Well sure maybe Pat lives in Allston,
and he doesn't drink, smoke or fight,
but play power chords over hardcore beats, and he'll pit all night.
He dyes his hair blond, collects VHS tapes,
he'll make you a sweet vegan taco,
cause he doesn't like burgers or steaks.
An analog man in a digital scene,
check out when he makes show flyers,
they're the best shit that you've ever seen.
PAT AS FUCK!!!

I can try and deny it, what you're selling I'm buyin,
but no matter what I do I keep on falling for you.
I can try and deny it. I keep trying to fight it,
but no matter what I do I keep on falling for you.
When I'm drunk on the floor, and you take me to bed,
and it makes me regret all those dumb things I said,
and I know I was wrong, but I know you're the one,
cause I can't help holding on.
I don't like what you're saying, all these games that we're playing,
but no matter what I do I keep on falling for you.
Dont leave me, you're not free, all of love is a war.
Smile wide, head up high, but I can't take no more.
After all of this time, you're still wrong I'm still right.
Fuck it I can't help holding on.
...and I know I was wrong, but I know you're the one,
cause I can't help holding on.
I can try and deny it, what you're selling I'm buyin,
but no matter what I do I keep on falling for you.
I don't like what you're saying, all these games that we're playing,
but no matter what I do I keep on falling for you.

All I wanna do is go to work,
so I can get my paycheck,
so I can hit up my dealer,
so I can finally get my weed,
so I can finally get high,
so I can finally get high.

Faced with a choice between passion or money,
but the truth is I want it both ways.
A house and some kids a wife calling me honey,
but my brain only tells me to play.
A lawn where the sides are both green, personal duality.
I see through the window
a life flash in front of me, but it seems so far away.
Searching for something,
but losing my sight as I'm watching my ship sail away.
Faced with a choice between passion or money,
but the truth is I want it both ways.
A house and some kids a wife calling me honey,
but my brain only tells me to pl...
Stay the course don't look back, leave the cards on table,
and challenging myself to face the unknown.
No aborting the mission, its my sick addiction,
don't know any other way.
Faced with a choice between passion or money,
but the truth is I want it both ways.
A house and some kids a wife calling me honey,
but my brain only tells me to play.
Making the choices I see in front of me,
and the rest will all fall into place.
Maybe I'm immature maybe I'm lazy,
but maybe I'll figure it out some day.

Four Year Shelf Life
03:40

I'm sick, so sick of being here again, where I always wind up in the end,
A place I know so well, that certain special kind of hell.
When the product will no longer sell, you take it off the shelf.
Now total strangers treat me warmer, can't catch your eye.
A potted plant shoved in the corner waiting to die.
And all those midnight rides to be left for a bottle of new life.
Brought together by identity, separated by a lack of empathy,
it's such a tragic star-crossed fate, that it finally was too late,
when we learned to communicate.
Brought together by shared empathy, separated by addictive tendencies,
a violent tectonic shift, the foundation has been split, and we know it.
We know it, and I'm so fucking sick.
Sick of being here again, where I always wind up in the end.
A place I know so well, that certain special kind of hell,
where the product will no longer sell.
So have fun being fucking ordinary, have fun being fucking ordinary.
We were misfits from the start, but you've given up the art,
so have fun being ordinary.
Have fun being fucking ordinary, have fun being fucking ordinary,
We were misfits from the start, but you've given up the art.
One needs a new liver and the other a new heart.
I hate to tell you friends, I have gone with you to the end,
so have fun being ordinary.
