First song made with an actual guitar and bass
Fuck your ears.

Gloom 4Ever (Fried By Fluoride cover)

Come Back Home With Me (Instrumental)

tuxedocat (6/23 Rehearsal)

try so hard to fall in line
but i am not like them
my card declined
nothing seems to ever ease my mind
they conspire against me a cult like state
my face is numb, my tounge like a sword
i can cut you in half the truth can make you hurt

Truth Hurts

give me a reason
to keep on breathing
coulda had it my way
but my way's shot

i drank from the chalice
gave my life to malice
i was the only cynic
in your ancient arms

i houdini'd my love
my hedonic mileage
gave me a face
with a forgotten name

we can't go back
to the promised land
but we'll be redeemed
in the golden light

i had a dream
we were 16
every single thing burnt with meaning

this dead end decay
ruins of a highway
some summer
i knew someone well

bone tired crashes
operatic ashes
past forsaken towns
out  on the hunger fields

godspeed to no one
they're cryogenically frozen
with weapons lurking
out in plain sight

they threw us in rivers
in chains of silver
left us for dead
under the blood moon night

i had a dream 
we were 16
every single thing burnt with meaning

Weapons Lurking

i live in ages
come to pass
i mourn the death of those alive
as their modern visage cracks

i know they'll put me
in a home
where all the has been actors 
unmasked as never weres go

find me a girl
with roses in her eyes
who lives her life 
in black and white
and to fall in love
it only takes one kiss
i'd throw my life away
for any time but this

i guess i wanted
to leave
my body for the night
and see my face up on the screen
i guess i wanted
to be
an actor for the night
and have my place up on the screen

now that i think
about it i once had her
a hawksian girl
in technicolor grandeur
i'd burn the whole town
down just to get her back
i used to be the icon
but now i'm the laugh track 

i guess i won the
award
actor of the year
on her full cutting room floor

Golden Age of Never Weres

Truck shit you either know or you don't

I don't park in no lines
I drive on curbs
Ignore speed signs 
Thru the suburbs
But it's all good
Its just truck shit 
Some feeble minds 
Can't understand it

My truck is old
Gets 10 in town 
Messed up exhaust
Is making sounds
The tach don't read
And the paints messed up 
Transmission leaks
But I love my truck 

I'm on truck shit

Need to find out
How many chicks 
My crew cab
Can fit inside it 
It's so reliable 
Pretty fast 
Always gets me
To the bar and back

I believe in fate 
I believe in luck
I thank the Lord
For granting me a truck
When everyone tells you to car
You know you have to truck
You know its time to truck

I'm on my truck shit

Just beyond the threshold of life 
I see your icon dancing in the night
4 wheels 4 high 4 lo
Then you shift it into drive 
We haul ass we burn gas
We'll see how long the freedom fuckin lasts 
New paint on old truck
Oil pan is full of leaked luck 
I don't know if this is it
But I'm about to do some truck shit

Truck Shit

Wrappin’ my car around a tree
And I’ve got no plans to stop
Nothing to do and nowhere to be
Every season its a flop

Wrappin’ my car around a tree
I don’t wanna see a thing
Waiting alone till the day I die
All I’ve had is stupid flings

You get by just fine and say
you cant wait for next year
Out of sync and feeling foggy
Let me drink in melancholy

Wrappin’ my car around a tree
Have a crappy holiday
Nothing in stores priced fairly
But we all still have to pay

You get by just fine and say
You cant wait for next year
Out of sync and feelin foggy
Let me drink in melancholy

Wrappin’ my car around a tree
Have a crappy holiday
Nothing at all seems fair to me
But we all still have to pay
