2K3 01:56
lyrics
Ya he's no one around Bathe in the sun Caught behind dumpsters Taste of a wicked life So why did I just end up like everything I hate Fuck it I'ma throw it up like everything I ate TVO on a CRT Let's pretend like it's 2K3 CEO's on a shopping spree Flipped a dump truck a GMC Pretend like we know no better Took the long way around My legs become numb Caught behind dumpsters Taste of a wicked life So why did I just end like everything is great Think you better hurry up cuz I can hardly wait If you could pick apart Like a bird Make a friend Make an enemy Make the whole world listen up You should really wake up Your asleep behind the wheel Looking at your telephone 20 people killed Cashing paychecks in SUV's Can't we live life in XTC @ home Once a year that's enough for me No turning back or CTRL+ALT+Z Burn it up it's 2K3

BARK 03:18
lyrics
your lost in a haze how often you say nothing to do nothing to do it's bottled indoors and aged to ensure you remain aloof they won't mention they say you don’t got enough momentum to finally unlock truth behind deceiving antagonize bark at traditional people that preach all the trends that you love and the ways your alone tame what is left then out with the old watch what we spend always be on time good boy your a trojan kill what's inside If breaking the law means to bark, well then call the police Lost, stuck in bed with no time for you no time to you when I'm feeling unsure I’ll loosen my lips and bark at you howl at the moon inhibitions Keeping me drawn a piss poor dumb down of all that I'm not you can fall asleep you've been hypnotized bark at the typical people that need to release all their thoughts on the ones who can't hold*weight by yourself or wait by the phone backwoods season you don't know the time i'm hard to get hold of it's by design i'm not the one that's been down at the park on a leash you foolishly thought I'd be willing to wait on my knees and I'm not the one so I bark like a dog on repeat there's hints in your doubt and you know that I'm not gonna speak is there something wrong? I can bark like a dog when I sleep when I sleep

GIDDY UP 01:49
lyrics
I leave a message on the phone Cuz i lose focus I don't ever really know Gotta fizzled out past With aluminum bats In the suburbs And i was guessing as a joke But its not that far from Everything you are Check the bolt lock Empty reasons that you made up There's no winning Its stone cold living like You take a back seat Of drugged up pretty lights You eat it up until your all done Say goodnight I think i love it but i can’t tell Wrong or right Car keys ima fiddle your purse n fish out a ten pound note than divvy up 2 keys in the passenger seat Im bumped up and good to go So giddy up I think i'm living in the past Cuz i can defend why i don't wanna go back I gotta think about that Or just google the facts in the cupboard I was teasin than you broke But it's not that far from when you sleep in your car Keep the doors locked every weekend Til you wake up Not sure if you been here late at night If you could catch me i fall down twenty times You pick a lover but your all good say goodbye You find another when the blades aren't feeling right Pale green live on astroturf Is this how the future grows Forever though? Pink seams on inflatable seats Im bugged up and good to go So giddy up

BEAN BAGS 01:24
lyrics
Its like this like that Got a feeling for you bad Had to quit twice like a habit that i had That's a fact No joke Are you sick of being mad You can work a double fall asleep on bean bags My floor Its not the best floor Nothing else to say whatcha bringing it up for You can work a double with your pockets in a huddle did you ever take a minute to consider these facts We quit too fast now that all this time has passed Tell me im a liar can i borrow 20 cash Im broke no joke But i’ll always pay you back Think im being funny but the money is a hassle My house my kids my keys my car my wife And I think I live a modern life If it's tit for tat Than I think I got a plan cuz I'ma bark first like the animal I am Like a bat No a goat Or maybe Im a lamb You could burst a bubble clean it up with These rags I'm sure There's dirt in these pours Living up a life that you didn't sign up for You can have the trouble of just working every double now your in it too committed you can never go back No house No car No keys No kids No wife But I think I might have done it right More sex More drugs More jeans More MTV It's no wonder I'm alone at night

A MINUTE OF LUCK 01:05
lyrics
I'd have thought we were best friend Every time we talk You only wanna sell me drugs sex jewelry New day of breaking my trust Sell yourself short for a minute of luck Can’t stand the people I love Shell themselves out for a million bucks when

SUGAR RAY 02:35
lyrics
I am shrine you are god This Holy Land Of parking lots Soft spoken Bittersweet moments Quiet emotions are card tricks Fooling the thought of not choosing your faith Your mom found your brother Gunshots from USA Heard it all across the west FM just keeps playing Sugar ray But im not in the mood End of the stream were just spilling into oceans We could always rip it up, break it into moments Take a piece and dont pretend that 2k3 aint where youve been Spoke to your mother Gunshots from USA Been wasting all the time you’d left Tell me how low do we have to go To feel safe If things could go wrong Put the needle in the sugar ray Plays skydome Every single song we know But i’ll have to change if its with or without you Baby makes a phone call A million miles away (still you’ll be waiting all alone) No one would answer If it wern’t for sugar ray Senses rearranged The smell of glistening Taste of calling home The silence of your ways Patience, hear the now Im not good with goodbyes So i’ll see you same time tomorrow

JUMP SHIP 02:08
lyrics
just last week in the middle of the street i came across a man he was dying to eat i said it's all good i’ll pay and there's only one thing he manage to say it's a great big chep as far as i see yeah You don't need the cash if you get it off me there's nothing that i wanna sell except the gift of surprise when i wish you well break it down nice bite size like a speak and spell cuz we could freak out in a taco bell post it on the spot triple dot what you on about man, i might jump ship twenty two three moving back home so your mother might see you know your kid is vain as hell talking in my ear like i care how your sleeping allow me to paint the picture all gray symmetrical allow me to ask the questions why are you in overalls? has this life even paid you yet? we get high and paint my deck its all guns and sex how can that be i can spin a globe til you follow my lead but everywhere i land is hell took a bite spin again but i caught you all sleeping this love is taking over fist first i never really got that far in the life you stream Just last week in the middle of street I came across myself in the midst of defeat I said its all good i’ll pay As if money was the green thats getting in my way why?

YES NO MAYBE 02:14
lyrics
Get yer feet lined up Yeah you know how to move It makes me start to wonder If we could get ripe we could bathe in the sun Your days all start with thunder She's shaggin the postman Can I keep a secret? The obvious answer is yes no maybe No one could know If your thoughts could save the day Ive been fighting for the right to slack off I could tell you twenty times to make up So long i’ll say I am the fool on display whose getting out of your way for good How did I get this high? Everytime im stoned i lie Typical of you who could download Got a limewire with the passcode You could take every single thought Every single drop you can have it when you want Did we go too far i think We’d have had enough if you ask me So get your feet lined up in this miracle It makes me start to wonder Your reaching back wires they’re electrical Arms up for the good time tourniquette Found love now you can’t stop doing it So call me the dope man And say it in sequence Do you see the bright side? Yes, no, maybe

THIRTY ONE 01:47
lyrics
Maybe i get by as a broke politician You meet me at the docks for a brand new shipment So Tell me how you feel, do you think you're better off? Got a brand new pair of confidence and pity those who want The status of a statue with a magnet as a tattoo i can only hope To god that you see Cuz it's just every piece of puzzle with your mouth up in a muzzle So you're burned and only bark in your sleep Hindsight is funny you see it now Do you carry the weight Do you hear the sound There's no more magic in the mountains if your doing what you're told And there's a lesson in the water from the days we used to know Dig deep dirt feet no fun thirty one Big boy Kids toys There's a million other reasons That i'm you Your me Thrift store Dirt cheap Blank seed Bed sheets It's no wonder were indecent Neighbors OD in the middle of the street You can see the obvious in everyone you meet lately

MAJOR MINUTIA 01:21
lyrics
I’m here to confuse ya Minutia minutia The dripping from the honeys filling up with Empty tumors With all this paper and fruit cups The future is a suture Ripping out the stitches til your bleeding on computers You’ll sing under pavement Over 30 missed calls and a payment This wave won’t kill ya Drowning out major minutia I’m here to amuse ya Coulda said it ruder I’ll spell it out in skittles so consider me a tutor Of all this major minutia future kama sutra No time to get aroused when you’ve been fucking with computers Your king of the basement Under a 30 foot slab of pavement This wave don’t suit ya Or this modern life major minutia In the basement of your parents house Look around let me out
