Strange Man 05:29
lyrics
buy track
drunken dancing, pass the joint forget our problems, that’s the point her phone is dying, the party too i’ll drive her home, man of virtue but to you, I’m just the strange man your mother brought home. // crying all night in your bed broken heart and promises a girl of twelve need not carry chains i see your worth, I feel your pain. but to you, I’m just the strange man your mother brought home. // driving over she asserts “destinations are a curse life is only here and now” i drank her words, i kissed her mouth. but to you, I am not kind. but to you, I’m just the strange man your mother brought home.

I'd Rather 05:02
lyrics
buy track
I’d rather read a book It requires nothing of me I’d rather draw a card Than take responsibility I’d rather crack a smile than admit I’ve rarely felt more alone I’d rather write this song Than call you on the phone I’d rather order out Than consider what’s inside of me I’d rather charge my card Than see my lack of currency I’d rather tell a lie Than admit That I’m not the man you think you know I’d rather text you back Than call you on the phone My wants and my needs Don’t align easily My fears and my dreams Are at odds constantly So I lie through my teeth So that I can get some sleep Lying to myself is the hardest part Lying to you is easy And I’d rather be alone There’s no one here to question me I’de rather masturbate Than love a women selflessly I’d rather run a mile Than admit After all these years I’ve hardly grown I’d rather go to bed Than call you on the phone.

Sweet Efren 05:37
lyrics
buy track
I have the sweetest neighbor With the sweetest eyes And a dog that barks And a mouth that’s dry He lifted up his pant leg To reveal a hole Just wanted me to know Life’s a miracle And Whittier’s a war zone For the numb and sweet There’s no reasoning Only violence speaks In and out of rehab Over 20 times Real life is pain Being drunk's sublime Sweet Efren Sweet Efren Sweet Efren You grew up in hell 20 bucks an hour Fig and 54 Wheelchair, cardboard Precedes grocery store Where handles are on sale Drink the first one fast Black out on your back Wake up to second We found you on the sidewalk In the dirt and blood I’ve rarely felt such love We called 9-11 The paramedics asked you What year we’re in You couldn’t answer them They threw you in their van Sweet Efren Sweet Efren Sweet Efren You grew up in hell Now you kill yourself Sweet Efren Sweet Efren Sweet Efren Just before you fell You gave my all your wealth Your story to tell I had the sweetest neighbor with the sweetest eyes and a dog that barked and a mouth that’s dry.

Punctuated 05:12
lyrics
buy track
Careful not to breathe I’ve been blurring out It took this long to see What I am without My organs turn to stone And fall to earthly depths All my friends are home No one notices If I am to become the singularity tonight Falling stars, buried bones Empty beds, cooling coals I believed in more than this And eternity of not existing Punctuated with death Duality in youth Finds spectrum in the world And now the only truth Is broken and unfurled Experience is king I hide it in my core Cuz I’m the only one I’m going to answer for If I am to become the singularity tonight Falling stars, buried bones Empty beds, cooling coals I believed in more than this A human God, My arrogance Streets of gold, A rigid plan A child of wrath, It’s fiery home Now I can see that all there is An eternity of not existing Punctuated with death If I am to become the singularity tonight Do I forfeit everything, exchange eternal life I don’t recall the place I was before my mother’s womb But I’d like to think the force that made us waits just out of view Maybe it’s waiting for you I hope it’s waiting for me too.
