Grass Fed 01:29
lyrics
buy track
I met a farm boy down at the farmer’s market He’s free of gluten, dairy, vegan, so I think I’ll fuck him He showed me his plants free of all pesticides All I could do was stare at his blonde hair and blue eyes We’ve got a problem, though He’s not fucking grass fed He’s not fucking grass fed He’s not fucking grass fed I tried to look past this unattractive quality I asked his name, but he just looked up and stared at me He opened his mouth and off went red flags and alarms It’s only the second time the boy had left the farm I’d still fuck him But, he’s not fucking grass fed He’s not fucking grass fed Making me feel half dead No, he’s not fucking grass...fuck

Sights On You 02:49
lyrics

Hey babe, I know you wanted Something more than I could give you But, that’s too damn bad boy Because it’s not what we had It’s what we always strived for A life of love, trust, but pain Became our greatest downfall We set our sights on something unattainable We set our We set our Sights on A perfect vision of a soul Whose code of honor Sticks firmly to his chest A reflection of greatness and unmotivation A man of strong conviction Whose stubborn nature will be the death of us We set our sights on something unattainable We set our We set our Sights on you Something unattainable We set our We set our Sights on you Tried to scrape the sky with you And live above the heavens But I flew too close to the sun Come back down and try We set our sights on something We set our We set our Sights on you Something unattainable We set our We set our Sights on you

Glue 03:02

You. You always told me what to do I don’t think I’m really into Anything that you have to prove Me. Your sights were always set on me Everything that you wanted me to be It’s clear you’re never gonna see I always knew the truth about you Stared into your eyes and saw right through Those fucking lies you always spewed Reveal those cracks you always keep so tightly glued I’m rubber you’re glue Bounces off me and sticks to you I’m rubber you’re glue Bounces off me and sticks to you I’ll stick it to you I’m rubber you’re glue Bounces off me and sticks to you I’m rubber you’re glue Bounces off me and sticks to you Let me stick it to you Stared into your eyes and saw right through Those fucking lies you always spewed Reveal those cracks you always keep so tightly glued

Caffeinate The Masses 02:26

I walked into my local coffee shop and ordered an espresso Makes my day go uh oh I love the taste I love the taste Give me a taste Now watch me shake I love the taste Come two o’clock Right on the dot Back at the shop Need my espresso Like a rat in a maze yo Caffeinate the masses Sedate lower classes How did I ever wake up in the morning without my cup of joe? Need me some mo’ Don’t talk to me Don’t talk to me Don’t speak to me I haven’t had my coffee Don’t talk to me Sit at my desk I get no rest My boss is a pest So he gets slapped I haven’t had my coffee Caffeinate the masses Sedate lower classes

Plastic Straws 01:59
lyrics
buy track
I said I ordered a smoothie out in California They served it to me with a paper straw I wasn’t amused, but I wanted to be hip So I plopped it in and I took a sip This tastes like shit This tastes like shit I tried to choke down the rest of this organic smoothie It cost me $7.42 I’ll be damned if they screw me Just then I looked down at my half drunken drink To find my straw had turned to mush By God, I’ve been hoodwinked So, I said hey mr. owner man bring back plastic straws for me We’ll see I mean it’s just so trendy now Basic bitch I don’t care about the environment, but other people pretend to care about the environment And those people pay me money, so I’ll pretend to care about the environment Trendy AF Don’t you wanna look cool in front of your friends? Put your paper straws on your instagrams Hashtag The next day I returned with a distasteful request For their last plastic straw Something they’d never guess The staff looked frantic searching, viewing me as an outlaw She handed it to me I said I’ve had it that’s the last straw

Saga 03:09

I wonder what it’s like to wake each day with a big ol’ smile on my face A big ol’ smile on my face because I’m in love I wonder what it’s like to wake each day with a big ol’ smile on my face A big ol’ smile on my face because I’m in love In love In love I’m so in love with you In love In love I’m so in love with you So, I placed your head in a pillowcase Pressed down on your face just to fill the space How many more memories can I erase Before I deplete the oxygen and leave a trace? So, I placed your head in a pillowcase Pressed down on your face just to fill the space How many more memories can I erase Before I deplete the oxygen and leave a trace? In love In love I’m so in love with you In love In love I’m so in love with you I cracked your cranium in half To find where the problem’s at I split that brain in half I cracked your cranium in half To find where the problem’s at I split that brain in half I cracked your cranium in half To find where the problem’s at I split that brain in half, brain in half I cracked your cranium in half To find where the problem’s at I split that brain in half, brain in half In love In love I’m so in love with you In love In love I’m so in love with you I put a stethoscope upon my heart And realized you would always be part Of this madness and sadness devouring me Be rid of these chains we need to break free But you keep on coming, yeah you just crawl back No matter how deep I turn your heart black This saga is ending This saga is ending Can we stop pretending to be?

Homecoming Queen 04:34
lyrics

You can be my homecoming queen I will carry you home You can be my homecoming queen I will share my throne Know I don’t take this crown off for just anybody Just those who make me feel And who said there had to be a Y chromosome To save you from being alone? Is there something more to this? I don’t know But, if there’s something more to this I need to know So, you can be my homecoming queen I will carry you home You can be my homecoming queen I will share my throne You take my hand and lead me to an empty aisle, ask me to dance And I will kiss your face in public and watch people shit their pants I know you think that I’m half crazy, but you’re wrong Cause I’m completely bonkers for you Is there something more to this? I don’t know But, if there’s something more to this I need to know So, you can be my homecoming queen I will carry you home You can be my homecoming queen I will share my throne You can be my homecoming queen I will carry you home I can be your homecoming queen I will share my throne We’re so caught up imagining our perfect lives We tear each other down We glorify the homecoming king Oh, what a pretty, pretty wife he has But, no one knows his wife has a brain Joke’s on you Mr. King Joke’s on you Mr. King Joke’s on you Mr. King Is there something more to this? I don’t know But, if there’s something more to this I need to know So, you can be my homecoming queen I will carry you home You can be my homecoming queen I will share my throne I can be your homecoming queen You will carry me home I can be your homecoming queen We will share our throne

Frontman 03:23
lyrics

I’m afraid to see how skinny you’ve become Where have you withered away to my son? She’s nothing but trouble Unfaithful and unkind What has that harlot done to wreck your mind? Dancing in the white hot spotlight Commanding a stage for the crowd Liquor coursing through your veins Is it worth the price for fame Or have you become someone else?

Cards and Love Notes 03:47
lyrics
buy track
What we had is something I can never dismiss But, an expression I cannot resist For I never thought it would come to this I had so much love for you, pure bliss But, now I really gotta lay it down in my own fashion, a true clown Court jester with her scepter Time’s up your majesty I know you taught me everything Now your throne’s up for grabs Pardon me, what a travesty You really thought you could hold me down Pull my strings like your musical puppet Wind me up Watch me dance Rockette’s gonna take the stage Break it down real slow, let it sink in So you know what you are to me now You’re just another notch in my bedpost You’re nothing but cards and love notes tonight How does it feel to be tucked away today With the others in my memory box? Didn’t think it’d be you, but opportunity knocks Your own file with your name on it You even made the sound bank with Joe and Frank An honor I declare for those aware of my destructive intentions I think I need to mention before the end of this session Cause I’m a new woman now That old me took a bow And I’m the best me yet A real catch Thanks for cultivating my path to greatness I won’t forget you although we’re through I need to slow it down in my debut So I can remind you You’re just another notch in my bedpost You’re nothing but cards and love notes tonight You’re just another notch in my bedpost You’re nothing but cards and love notes out of sight You look at me and I look at you It’s the same old pattern we’ve been goin’ through The hot the cold The ups and downs We run around in circles Trying to figure it out Trying to figure it out I’ve gotta put it down on paper cause I don’t have words Every time I see you I start to fade my vision blurs I reach for your familiar figure, but you can’t be found I guess I figured it out I guess I figured it out You’re just another notch in my bedpost You’re nothing but cards and love notes tonight You’re just another notch in my bedpost You’re nothing but cards and love notes out of sight You’re just another notch in my bedpost You’re nothing but cards and love notes tonight, tonight, tonight You’re not the only one for me

Break Again 03:40

I knew we’d never get along You think you’re precious and you’re wrong We can’t see eye to eye I’ll bid my last goodbye And the next time you reach out There will be no reply Don’t know your street name I don’t wanna know a damn thing about you I want to erase you from my mind Don’t wanna take my time To heal these hairline fractures up and down my spine But the heart won’t stop the heart beats on forever And the heart won’t stop it wants to be together And the heart won’t stop the heart beats on forever And the heart won’t stop I drop down to my knees Muster strength get back on my feet Here we go once more I thought I slammed the door But you creep back in and I can’t ignore That you just keep breaking me down You keep breaking me You just keep breaking me down You keep breaking me You just keep breaking me down You keep breaking me You just keep breaking me down You keep breaking me How many times can we break what’s been broken til we just won’t break again? How many lines can repeat what’s been spoken til we just won’t speak again? Again Again Again Never thought it’d be you Who’d split me in two Come break me again With love and devotion Come on let’s make amends To build up and shatter again We’ll make the same mistakes We’ll make the same mistakes We’ll make the same mistakes We’ll make the same Over and over and over again How many times can we break what’s been broken til we just won’t break again? How many lines can repeat what’s been spoken til we just won’t speak again? How many times can we break what’s been broken til we just won’t break again? How many lines can repeat what’s been spoken til we just won’t speak again? Forever

Young man, I know your heart has grown cold Let me warm up that heart of gold Pour your feelings into my palm and I will Build you back up to size Trust in me Bring it to me Soon you will realize I know that you’re the one But, you should run Your fate was determined the day you knocked on my door I would never let a beautiful face pass me by ignored You fell directly onto my pitch fork You’re making me feel like I’m coming uncorked I know that you’re the one But, you should run I know that you’re the one But, please run Run Run Leave me alone I don’t think I know who you are I don’t know if I ever did It’s a mystery I guess I don’t think you even know I know that you’re the one But, please run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run
