LaGrecia- "The Montage"

So you got a little loaded
And realized that you liked it
Maybe a little broken-hearted
Or something to that effect

You never took your chance to leave it
All the answers in your body
Instead it stays internally
It’s never going away

You let sleeping dogs lie
You let yourself get angry
It’s hard to be affected now by anyone
It’s hard to be affected

You can’t beat yourself up
You can’t put yourself down like that
Stop being so ominous
Stop being so goddamn obvious
Do you have a bit of surprise?
It’s tough and quicker than you think
It’s hard to live any other way
It’s hard to live any other way

When you’re cursing at the moon in the night
The cold blues just feels so right
You in the wail and appealing
Just to know you’re alive

Maybe you’re looking for a lyric
If it’s poetic that you’re chasing
I hope you find it real soon
I hope you find it real soon

The longer you wait
The tougher you make decisions
Decisions that won’t make or break you
But you let it control you

The harder you breathe
The quicker fatigue
It makes your body numb
I know that you can’t help it
I know that you can’t help it

You let sleeping dogs lie
You let yourself get angry
It’s hard to be affected now by anyone
It’s hard to be affected

You can’t beat yourself up
You can’t put yourself down like that
Stop being so ominous
Stop being so goddamn obvious
Do you have a bit of surprise?
It’s tough and quicker than you think
It’s hard to live any other way

But you should know
That you can start over

Less Than Jake- "Last Hour of the Last Day of Work"

I couldn't help but think back to the advice
that I got from my dad a few times
he said"...time goes by so fast in a blink of an eye
so never close your eyes..."
"...I always wanted something more than 50 hours every week
and a paid vacation on the jersey shoreline"
And he said
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man
I can't help but think back to the time
he said "life goes right by"
And told me never think twice
"you can't second guess how to live your life"
All these years have been way too short
to be spent on some factory floor like me
I never went back again
I never looked back again
And he said
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man
It's the last hour of the last day
don't fall so far behind now
you'll be another nameless face
he said

House Boat- "Real Life as a Metaphor for Real Life"

Syke! This one is better

A better video-

Syke! Life is Awesome- BTMI!

I sat along the rocks and I watched the cold Maine water rush away.
The sun and my guitar and I knew what you were doing yesterday.
You broke those promises but I'll get over it.
'Cause as long as I'm breathing fresh air I really don’t give a shit.
But I'll get mad for the next ten years, but realize sometimes things are great.

I didn't have directions, I hadn't eaten anything all day.
We sucked a fat one and wasted a hundred dollars just to play.
I ate a bag of peanuts before the windy road.
I couldn't drink a thing all night because of the vomit in my throat.
Then you gave me your sweatshirt and your number, sometimes things are great.

You don't own me! You don't own me!

I worked my ass off my entire life to accomplish my dream.
It started happening and everything got bastardized by greed.
I said, "Pull this shit over and let me out,
I swear to fucking God I'm fucking giving up right now."
And now I've got a brand new start, I realize sometimes things are great.

Scream it in apartment halls -
Shout this shit in shopping malls -
Take a ball point pen and paint the inside of your eyelids with the constant reminder:
You don't own me. You don't own me.

Then I was underground without food, sunlight or encouragement.
Depression set in I was a product of my environment.
And then the other day, you said, “Jeff, get in your car.
Yeah, pick Glenn Tillbrook up at the hotel and take him to the bar.”
And he wore a t-shirt just like me and he wasn't on his phone
For fifteen fucking minutes I had a conversation with my hero.
I'll be mad for the next ten years
And after that I’ll drink ten beers until the bar runs out of beers
And prepare for the next twenty-three years.

And if I wasn't a fat kid in high school, I would have never listened to punk rock.
And if I knew how to throw a football, I would have never played any music.
And if never got my heart broken, I would sing, "Blah blah fucking nothing."
And if you didn't fuck my ex-girlfriend, I would still owe you three thousand dollars.
And if I never lived in that van there I wouldn't have met Chris or Steve, Alex, James, or Middagh.
And if I never worked in a basement I would have never quit my job.
And if I had a big emo band or dropped out of college, I would have never met you, man.

It's funny when people get angry at you for acting a certain way, and then act that way all the time.

It's not like I planned it, but yesterday, I was up for 22 hours.
