Weird Hell

Imagine being someone who's not scared right now
as the ice melts off the earth
and the animals all burn
Imagine being someone who's not mad right now
about kids cooped up in cages
and the jailers all get raises
Imagine being someone who’s not sad right now
That some can’t be or love
Who they really want
i feel as if i went to sleep and woke up in weird hell
everything's wrong
there's a sulfur metal smell
i don't expect to wake and find that everything's changed
i know that this is real
it's always been this way
it helps to know that other people feel the same
that all of this is wrong
that all of this can change
All of this is wrong
All of this can change
There are other people
Who feel the same way
All of this is wrong
All of this can change
And Lots of other people
feel the same way
Get madder than hell
Hold dicks accountable
Get outside and yell
And take these fascists down

Thank you, thank you
for being strong when I was young and impossible
you're the reasons, I'm where I am
most dont get the folks I had
You've always been there, and I forget
That won't always be the case I guess
I love you, I love you
let me say it now in case something happens to me or you
Let's not wait til it's too late
it's not too late

Bad Friend

Remember I told everyone, I had won that fight
I knew it was a draw at best, but we both told some lies
We fought so many times, I think that most kids did
Remember when we broke that window, then I ran and hid
Looking back, I was a bad friend
I'd say sorry, if I saw you
I did some shitty things, when we were ten
Looking back, I was a bad friend
I used you for your games, Contra, Commando
I think that most our good times were playing Nintendo
Is self reflection wasted on so long ago
I should look at how I act with people I still know
Looking back, I was a bad friend
I'd say sorry, if I saw you
I did some shitty things, I did some shitty things
Looking back, I did some shitty things

figure out your feelings
before they're figured out for you
turn them into voices
you can listen to
don't be like my old man
or even your old man
be a better man
be better than
listen to your feelings
think about what they want from you
take a breath think to yourself
before deciding what to do
be a better man
be better than

my phone rings again
click it quick, don't wanna see your name
I don't want you to feel so alone
i don't know what else to do when you can't admit what's wrong
tried to tell you how i feel
realize now you weren't listening
it's no surprise, you've never been
i need to step away
if i don't i'll go crazy

How does anyone
go to shows on Tuesday nights
I couldn’t do that when
I was twenty one
I feel too old for this
Check my life insurance
I might feel out of place
Who makes the rules anyway
I put a record on
and felt seventeen again
rejection felt like
a thousand rusty pocketknives
when every cut was deep
and every high was high
I’m on the pta
Did I make my mortgage payment
I might be out of place
there’s no rules anyway
I’m going out tonight
I’ll cross a tunnel and a bridge
Won’t think about tomorrow
Might not happen anyway
before the weight of the world
and 5 am alarm
and the kids and compromises
dulled your senses

Snow Day

look at all the white outside
it all came down overnight
mom says there's no school today
can't wait to get outside and play
hats and coats and gloves on
socks and boots and snowpants!
build a fort and knock it down
push my brother to the ground
he threw some ice inside my jacket
i saw red, got so mad
hats and coats and gloves off
socks and boots and snowpants!

Magic is Bullshit

if you want it done
you'll have to do it yourself
there's only so much time
and there's no one else
so much time i wasted
'cause i didn't realize
there's no magic to it
there's no magic to it
there's no magic to it
magic's bullshit, you can do it
pick up your tools and you'll see
it's not as hard as you thought it'd be
there's only so much time
and there's no one else (assigned)

i know you're right
but that don't make me wrong
we're out of time
]to decide
the biggest change
we'll ever make
put your blindfold on
or walk away
thrilled and terrified
feels like i'm on fire
thanks for standing by
right there with the water
