Time to finish up
Decided you did enough
You finally give a fuck
But it's too late
To change your way
Cause come mid-May
You'll graduate
卒業
Your introductions
Aren't enough to form
Lasting impressions
In just over a week, the culmination of fears
As you haven't put the effort into finding a career
I mean, sure, you had fun, but you sure wasted the years
Alright
Now here it goes again
So solemnly
The eras meet their ends
So indifferent
Unassured quality
Scripted to decay
Obsolescent
Unashamed
Totally gr(a/e)y
Spelled with an "e" or "a"
More semantics
Fade away silently
Nobody wants to see
More dramatics
But start the play

Up all night and you're ready to go
Tipping your hat to the people you know
It's alright, it's alright today
And they'll laugh in your face
Saying crime doesn't pay
You constitutional slave
Ha
Alright
Up all night and you're ready to go
Waving your hat to the people who just
Ignore it, ignore it again
As they lecture children
Saying "don't be like them
They're less than human"
Oh but
Whether or not your time's been done
Doesn't matter cause in their eyes you will
Always be criminal scum
It's in the presentation
Cause they don't care about
Rehabilitation
They'll say
"All I know and all I see
Doesn't really matter all that much to me"
"They'll get no sympathy"
Oh no
So trade a month's wage
For medical supplies
With a ball and chain
The time will not fly

Fade away
Silently
Eyelids falling, heavy
Defective parts
Fail to meet the industry standards
Lacking the preventative maintenance
You can kill the dreamer but you can't kill the dream
It's all gonna be ok
No it's never gonna be ok
No you're never gonna be ok
It's all gonna be ok
(It's how you'll always be)
No it's never gonna be ok
No you're never gonna be ok

Photosensitive receptors
Defective parts affected by the
Weather/whether or not you can fight off the stream
You can kill the dreamer but you can't kill the dream
It's all gonna be ok
No it's never gonna be ok
No you're never gonna be ok
It's all gonna be ok
(It's how you'll always be)
No it's never gonna be ok
No you're never gonna be ok

All my friends have said goodbye
Or maybe it's just isolation
All my friends left me behind
But once again it's all my fault
And they're never coming back
All my friends have said goodbye
Or maybe it's just isolation
All my friends left me behind
But once again, it's all my fault
All my friends have said goodbye
(Come of age)
Or maybe it's just isolation
(Blackened teeth)
All my friends left me behind
(Such a mess)
But once again it's all my fault
And they're never coming back

Hide behind the wall
Desperately distracted
Buried in the bunkers
Craving self-destruction
Another barricade
Some kind of macabre
Fascination with the end
Found I'm missing something
Always been missing something
And I'll say it once again
But I've never been enough
I'll never be enough for this
No sentiments or future
No roses to look forward to
Sorry to disappoint
What am I supposed to say
Without making it cliche
You thought you understood
The world and its systems
Suffer like everyone
But I've never been enough
I'll never be enough for this
No sentiments or future
No roses to look forward to
Sorry to disappoint
Some kind of macabre
Fascination with the end
Found I'm missing something
Always been missing something
And I'll say it once again

Blood Feud

"I don't wanna wake up, give me five more minutes"
Grand jury cried murder, prosecution said acquitted
Gotta protect their buddies again
Demonizing's easy when they're different than you
Spending every day in a blood feud
Fine
When it's far away
When it's not my family
It's not my family
They haven't done any wrong
They haven't done any wrong
But that's how it goes
Oh yes I know
Indiscriminately, 50 farmers will die
Days to fear the most are ones with clear blue skies
Happy as long as the crown prince pays
Demonizing's easy when they're different than you
Spending every day in a blood feud
Fine
When it's far away
And you kill their families
You kill their families
Who haven't done any wrong
They haven't done any wrong
But that's how it goes
Oh yes I know

Music for No One
03:39

I'm almost halfway there and now I wanna quit
I never wanted it that much at all
It's just another Saturday of missing out
Haven't figured out the fatal flaw
But I won't decide this
So make your movies for no one
Find yourself peace of mind
I wanna say I'm sorry for the mess I've made
All the wasted days the past ten years
It's not as though it's problematic, drag it out
The patterns of self doubt
Discern the fear
But I won't decide this
It's hard to make decisions
Decisions on my own
So make your music for no one
Fake your southwestern drawl
Find a path to salvation
Longing for urban sprawl

Tunnels entrance
Like you want them to
A house made of glass
Likely bulletproof
Nobody will
Ever want me
Tunnels outlast
The brambles and decay
Choke on the gas
That stubbornly remains
Nobody will
Ever want me
Nobody will
Ever want me
Nobody will
(There is no light)
Ever want me
(There is no light)

A Brief Moment of Peace
05:05

Make plans with family, your excitement is shared
Move back to Michigan provided you're prepared
To brave the cold
Wait for the call, but you're never gonna get it
Come on home
Come on home
Come on home
Come on home
"I liked your first album just fine
Back when you were just starting out"
It's just a product of the times
But I can't promise you more fun
It's getting hard to write a narrative
That pleases everyone
Watching playoffs hockey on illegal streams
It's much less stressful in the basement as a young rebuilding team
Quick quips about your crops affected by the cold
"Alchemically brewed up ales" - smug satisfaction, you've struck comedy gold
"I liked your first album just fine
Back when you were just starting out"
It's just a product of the times
But I can't promise you more fun
It's gotten hard to write a narrative
That pleases everyone
Life's so exhausting
Left feeling forced just to wake up before noon
"Show's over," the singer shouts
And the venue finally clears as the band played us out
Come on home
Come on home
Come on home
Come on home
And then the band played us out
Just doing all the little things
Just doing all the little things right
That's what it's all about
Just try to get some sleep tonight
So keep doing all the little things
Consider all the little things
I kept doing all the little things
What more do you want?
