Narcolepsy with Cataplexy 04:05
lyrics
buy track
well, if eating crow were fateful then I guess I’ve had my plateful I don’t mean to sound so hateful but what you put me through was painful it’s too grating to be grateful but in a way I should be thankful in a fucked up way I owe it all to you because if you hadn’t treated me like shit I wouldn’t be writing so many songs like this distilling pain with my greatest wit keeping lists of words that rhyme with bitch writing breakup songs like Taylor Swift like I’m some sort of narcissist in a fucked up way I owe it all to you CHORUS: so I guess I was just gullible when I thought we were a good couple it turns out that I’m untouchable that makes me unfuckable I don’t care if you’re uncomfortable just found out that I’m unlovable in a fucked up way I owe it all to you well, I know I have a tendency of giving others all the best of me but your logic is a fallacy you can fuck your codependency so what if losing you was the end of me? how can too much love be a deficiency? in a fucked up way I owe it all to you you said I need you and need is lack I’m a sack of shit without the sack but how could you just turn your back? I’d follow your lead but you wiped your tracks my heart is cold, my sold is black I’m reduced to just screaming facts in a fucked up way I owe it all to you CHORUS every flower needs both sun and rain all pleasure must come from pain delight and despair they both start the same this fact is driving me insane you’ve given me enough grief to drive me to fame I’ll be thinking of you when I blow out my brains in a fucked up way I owe it all to you well, it must be clear seen from above success and pain go hand in glove you create the Hell my songs come from when I’m on the edge you give me a shove if you won’t be my supportive love at least you’ll be my Courtney Love in a fucked up way I owe it all to you CHORUS in a fucked up way I owe it all to you

Pictures of Us Sad 04:06
lyrics

couples only photograph the good times as if joy was all they had but that won’t help them when they break up let’s take some pictures of us sad I have pictures of you kissing me in matching costumes on Halloween the birthday party I threw for you you and me and a scenic view our shadows in a heart of snow the trip we took to Chicago all of our friends ice skating the pics we took that were just for me it’s killing me to look through albums of all the better times we had it’s only making me feel worse let’s take some pictures of us sad dressed up for a holiday self shots taken from an arm away in the bar where we first met up on stage singing a duet dressed as June and Johnny Cash in silly hats or alien masks sets of three from photo booths these photos prove you once loved me too if we were smart we would plan ahead and get the camera when things were bad because I think it might help me now if I had some pictures of us sad I wish I had a photo of you telling me you fell out of love I wish a pic could convince myself I could be happy with someone else but all I have is photographic proof I was only happy when I had you

Your Face 03:20
lyrics
buy track
why read the fortune when the cookie it comes in is crushed? like us and the trust babies cry when they’re born ‘cause they know that life is pain it’s the same it’s insane to try it all again I spend all night dreaming about you then I wake up depressed distressed still dressed I toast to your memory then I drink to try to forget the rest I regret boy, I try my best but there’s something about your face whiskey can’t erase the wise man on the mountain can only teach you how to climb waste your time not mine when life gives me lemons I hold them for so long that they rot I forgot to not waste potential that I’ve got to try to not give up on love I might still find someone to make it all worthwhile I’m almost ready to make another huge mistake but I know it won’t last ‘cause there’s something about your face no one could replace and I’m not saying you can’t be happy just do it somewhere else go to Hell fuck yourself out of sight out of mind only works when you’re blind and crazy someone save me ‘cause you gave me more pain than I can take see I know I am a disgrace ‘cause I can’t face your face

Past Tense of Pain 03:46
lyrics

CHORUS: this is not a cry for help no, this is just a cry I would have died for you now I just want to die love was lying next to you now love is just a lie love is just the past tense of pain things were better when they were plural now I’m all alone in this lonely world prefer the pronouns us and we but all I have is I and me I wish I could say I will have learned from this but fuck future perfect, perfect futures don’t exist love is just the past tense of pain so I’m not begging you to fix me I’m just asking you to kiss me so I can forget that I’m broken for a while CHORUS the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else said the girl who’d been under everyone but couldn’t get over herself so now I am on a mission to give the word single a definition that’s more than just a synonym for alone so I’m not begging you to love me I’m just asking you to fuck me so I can forget that I’m lonesome for a while CHORUS

The Pros and Cons of Dating Me 04:51
lyrics

loneliness rules the night it’s even eclipsed my depression for a while so now I’m struggling to write some positive things about me in a profile but I know no one could ever love me ‘cause I’m short and I am old and I am bald, fat, and ugly every year I’m another year older a year less hair and another year fat if I could possible get any uglier best believe I’d be a whole year more that but I feel I must be a fair reporter so put this in the pro column ‘cause I am not getting any shorter my nose is too big, my legs are too short all my problem areas have been upgraded to trouble my physical examine is a failure report my eyebrows are uni and my chin is double I’m not a handsome man, anyone can see this the only good thing I can say for myself is I have a very normal penis I don’t mean to be so superficial believe me I’m just as ugly on the inside trying to keep my thinking wishful but I can’t even get the spambots to swipe right if love is a game, I am retired ‘cause I’ve been alone so long all my condoms have expired all my relationships start from pity and seem to go well until she suddenly ends it and every time it’s a big surprise to me ‘cause what I call love others call codependence I guess I’ll just go and die alone ‘cause these were just some of the cons and now here are the pros

I used to feel lovesick I used to feel sad I would spend nights dreaming of love I used to have it would cause me heartache it would cause me pain now I’m feeling nothing I’m empty in my brain CHORUS: now I’ve got the answer living on my own I’ll spend the rest of my life sexless and alone I used to get horny and I guess I still do now the feeling’s different now it’s not for you I used to want someone I used to go on dates now I stay home Friday nights and try to masturbate CHORUS some folks are born this way but I don’t think that’s me loneliness I recommend if you want to be free I used to be loving I used to want to give all of that’s behind me now it’s no way to live all you foolish lovers who pity me will see you’re the ones who should be sad I’m better off just me CHORUS

Orange Juice and Neosporin 05:13
lyrics

well, last night it was our final talk the time we had the love we lost now I know that good things only end pictures of you in your wedding dress got me thinking how my life’s a mess and knowing that we won’t be friends so this morning it was all regret and research on the internet long sleeves in the summer heat at the market in the cooler aisle I took break to cry a while I hope dead eyes can be discreet because outside the sun is shining but in my heart it’s pouring now it’s orange juice and Neosporin well, last week it was a big surprise everything was sharper than I realized I thought nothing was as fragile as a heart it was wine to wash down Ambien and hoping for an accident that’s when I saw how easily flesh can part there must be a better way to release the pain I’m storing now it’s orange juice and Neosporin and a better man would know when to say when’s when but I’m not smart enough to know when to give in if I were I wouldn’t be so Goddamn broken but I am last month was living Hell and dying hope now I know that it’s a joke when they say that time heals every wound all that time has done so far is turn my scabs into scars but the cuts that hurt ain’t healing no time soon because every night’s a dark night every morning I am mourning now it’s orange juice and Neosporin

If You Love Somebody 03:28
lyrics
buy track
they say if you love somebody then you will let them go I guess that means you love me more than you let show ‘cause when it came to leaving, girl you seemed to be a pro and here I thought that if you love someone you should spend your life with them shows how little I know ‘cause if you love something then kill it before it kills you first some things get better but everything gets worse even castles become ruins every blessing is a curse and the only way to not get your heart broken is to die first they say if you love somebody then you will let them leave I guess that means you never meant a thing to me ‘cause when you up and left me, girl it brought me to my knees and I cried and begged and wallowed when I should have been relieved ‘cause if you love somebody they will only break your heart it’s the law of entropy everything must break apart every lover becomes loveless every sweetheart becomes tart and the only way to not get your heart broken is if it is broken from the start they say if you love somebody then you want what’s best for them even if what they think is best is seeing other men because if that were true, well, then I wouldn’t be bleeding out of this pen ‘cause my heart wouldn’t even have to mend I’d be sitting here in perfect Zen and I wouldn’t lose any REM thinking about how things could have been but hearts only break, they never bend and I’ll never make that same mistake ever again

you’re born alone you die alone why be alone in between? ‘cause all you have is all you have it’s the way it’s always been CHORUS: it’s alright it’s alright it’s alright all your friends try their best but no one really cares why be an extra in your life when they could star in theirs? CHORUS in a hundred years everyone who is currently alive will be dead we won’t care ‘cause so will you and I CHORUS it’s the way that it’s got to be and there’s no use to fight everyone will die and it’s alright some say half empty some half full I say consider this atoms are mostly empty space so even a full glass barely exists CHORUS all your problems seem so big step back and they seem small keeping on stepping back you’ll see you never mattered at all CHORUS it’s alright it’s alright it’s alright it’s alright everyone will die and it’s alright it’s alright it’s alright it’s alright it’s alright it’s alright just try to tell yourself that it’s alright
