Scared of You

I wrote a letter
to wish you luck on the rest of your adventure
its a shame i cant see it through
i wrote a letter
so maybe you could understand my sorrows
but since you cant i wont be phased
Cause I've wasted too much of my God damn life
running circles around the same old point
I don't even know what i really want
and I'm scared to think of the times I fought for
You wont know of what i did I
tossed and turned until i saw light
I just want to forget you but I
cant be making these same loosing bets
(Kazoo)
I know you better than I need to know and I
I like you more than I ever should show and I
I regret what i never told you
Just gotta walk and think of round two
so I have to let things be so that
we can be happy
I begging on my knees
Wont you please admit it dont you hate me
So i can move on
I'm begging on my knees
Ive been thinking about you so much lately
and everything you took
I lost my innocence, pessimism, now i face my cataclysm
the end is near and i can hear it
yet i just cant help it, I still fear it
I wrote this all to tell you, I don't know how i feel about you
I wrote this all to tell you, I think I am scared of you

I wish that i had grown some more
I wish it was just like before
I wish i could see the inner workings of my head
I wish that I just could forget
I wish I could say what I meant
But really, I just wish I was in bed
There are many things to fear
Like lions and tigers and badger attacks
There are many things to fear
so finish your cereal
don't eat on the dance floor
Its Alright its Okay
Its Alright Its Okay
I wish I could find my dream girl
I wish I could see all the world
I wish my mom would stop asking me if i have a girlfriend
I wish that I just could forget
I wish I could say what I meant
But really, I just wish i was in bed
There are many things to fear
Like lions and tigers and badger attacks
There are many things to fear
so finish your cereal
don't eat on the dance floor
Its Alright its Okay
Its Alright Its Okay
I wish I could make up my mind
I wish that you could spare the time
I wish I could decide am I punk or am I Indie
I wish that I could suck it up
I wish that I have had enough
But really I just wish I was in bed
(Harmonica)
Its Alright its Okay
Its Alright Its Okay
Its Alright its Okay
Its Alright Its Okay

Scott has a Gun

I'm walking through these hallways they're full of creeps
but i realized that the only mean one is me
Oh no
Wont you listen to my low life lullaby
its kinda bad and sad at some points
but ill never tell a lie
What the point of you singing your songs when you don't believe a single world that you're screaming about?
Oh the anarchists they never take a rest
and the nihilists they really couldn't care less
its tiring defiling Ill buy myself a violin
I just want to be nice
But Scott Andersen is shooting up the world
Scott Andersen is shooting up my world
Scott Andersen hes got a gun, hes coming fast you better run
I just want to be nice
is that so much to ask for?
So Im just a zombie but im better than the weather man
Cause I don't believe the weather and everyone knows that
men are full of tiny little insects that suck all of the fun out of their lives
Take your money, take your power
I hope you like your new life because you're sleeping with a knife
I don't know if I'm you're friend but I'm sure I won't see you again
Its been too long lets play pretend, its been too long I'm on offence
Nevermore never letting up
Not too sure if our story is ending up sad
Oh the anarchists they never take a rest
and the nihilists they really couldnt care less
its tiring defiling please stop acting so violent
I just want to be nice
But Scott Andersen is shooting up the world
Scott Andersen is shooting up my world
Scott Andersen hes got a gun, hes coming fast you better run
Scott Andersen hes got a gun, hes coming fast you better run
Scott Andersen hes got a gun, hes coming fast you better run
I just want to be nice
Is that so much to ask for?

Dog Marriage

I'd like to see a large ball of string
thrown into a pit of bloodthirsty cats
I'd like to be always nice and friendly
so my name is Cocker Spaniel how do you be?
I like to think that you and me were always meant to find one another
in reality your majesty I'll still hide under the covers
I cant believe I'll never be free from my prison called infatuation
Cause you're as cute as dog marriage
Now I would like an apology could you be so sorry for me
and if you could introduce me to someone I'd like to meet
won't you throw him a bone, never go it alone
watch them all running around, they're all top-heavy
Oh you been gone for way to long I don't know what I'd do without you
I suppose that i would sit down and write another pathetic song about
it seems to me like you've got everything top down up right in the right way
Cause your as cute as dog marriage
I like to think that you and me were always meant to find one another
in reality your majesty I'll still hide under the covers
I cant believe I'll never be free from my prison called infatuation
Oh you been gone for way to long I don't know what I'd do without you
I suppose that i would sit down and write another pathetic song about
it seems to me like you've got everything top down up right in the right way
Cause your as cute as dog marriage
and dog marriage is pretty damn cute

Cold face, cold legs.
Walk three blocks and pay two bucks.
One bold sign:
Interference on the line,
waiting twenty minutes time every time.
Transfer at Bedford,
twenty more Manhattan bound,
ten billion kids.
I am happy with my flaws.
I am happier when no one is around.
And everybody looks around
to blame our Brooklyn burning down
on white kids, hipsters, students
but we act like we're not one of them.
It's easy. Just use your eyes
to judge and go back to your powder drugs.
But I'm no better.
Smile while pushing through the crowd,
"A round for friends."
Find a corner at the bar.
Aberrations in a real confusing town.
