Don't Wake Me Up

You like tupac, I like biggie. You like metal, my songs sound too pretty. At least we both can agree on pbr.

LYRICS:
A friend of a friend, we talked online
I had ideas to pass the time

Lets compare tattoos and drink cheap beer
Whatever you choose, one thing seemed clear
Well lately I've been one and done 
Well you might be a winner
If this sounds too big and you want something little
Well maybe we could meet in the middle

Its happening again and that's just fine
I've been here before from time to time
If you wanna paint while I play song
You won't know the words though you'll hum along
As I take a shot, well you'll rip a bong
If we feel alright than its not wrong
No its not wrong

Lets compare tattoos and drink cheap beer
Whatever you choose, one thing seemed clear
Lately I've been one and done 
Well you might be a winner
If this sounds too big and you want something little
Well maybe we could meet in the middle

If you leave from Pittsburgh, I'll leave from Philly
Somewhere on I-80, we'll meet in the middle
From central PA to New York City 
We live without pity and stay in the middle 

Uppers And Downers

I am rubber and you are.....what's that thing? 

"Doug Kallin: If you don't know whether or not you are sleeping, he's the guy that can tell you." - Natalie Sorce

LYRICS:
I can tell you're not sleeping by your breath
I can tell you're not sleeping by your breath
And I was awake too
I was awake too

I can hear your heart beating through your chest
I can hear your heart beating through your chest
And mine was racing too
Mine was racing too

You didn't wanna be alone
Well I'll stay near

I can tell you're not sleeping by your breath
I can tell you're not sleeping by your breath

And If you feel like a stranger in your own home
And you wish that you could leave
Well I'm realistic and I know you'll stay
Your shoes are held together with glue

I can tell you're not sleeping
I can tell you're not sleeping
I can tell you're not sleeping by your breath

Glue

LYRICS:
The purest water can't replace the harshest smel,l the driest taste
The deepest ocean cannot hide my thoughts they form then flow outside

They'll try and tell you, "you're not strong"
They're wrong, they're wrong, they're wrong 

We're born under man made light, the moon, the stars, replaced at night
We buy new shoes from time to time when calloused toes could work just fine

They'll try and tell you, "you're not strong"
They're wrong, they're wrong, they're wrong 
And if they say, "you don't belong"
They're wrong, they're wrong, they're wrong

Snowflakes crash into the sea
Intricate designs we'll never see
Life seems that way to me

So many faces in the crowd
I kick and scream but I'm not loud
And past mistakes, I've had more than a few
The paths I take all lead me back to you

Snowflakes crash into the sea
Intricate designs you'll never see
And I'm not sure, but I hope there's more for me
Cause when we're born, we're destined for the sea

The purest water can't replace the harshest smell the driest taste
The deepest ocean cannot hide my thoughts they form and flow outside

They'll try and tell you, "you're not strong"
They're wrong, they're wrong, they're wrong
And if they say that you are less than perfect
Well fuck them they're wrong

If we only get one chance I hope you make the most of it 
The paths I take will bring me back to you

Silly Metaphors About H2O

Morning son. Mourning Sun. 

LYRICS:
Crooked smiles look good on you
You're trapped in bed sheets
I get up and leave the room
You layed there alone

My old flannels are big on you
There's holes in the sleeves
I make coffee in the other room
You layed there alone

Morning sun reflects off you
Your eyes are adjusting
I close the blinds then walk on home
You layed there alone

Crowded party and I see you
Pretending you don't see me
Quick glances, head turns
Pretend like you don't see me

You stood there alone

Morning sun creeps in my room
I asked you to leave
A dirty mattress on a carpet floor
I layed there alone



Morning Sun

Recorded by Stephen Kellner

Lyrics:
Shadows on the door
I've been here once before
Quietly loosing sleep
Sharing body heat

There's a wolf outside the door scratching line into the boards
There's a serpent on the floor and it knows me to the core

When you sleep you hum chromatically
OOOOOOOOHHHHH
A comforting hand upon a knee
As sweet drips slowly to the floor

There's a wolf outside the door
There's a serpent on the floor

I try to hide it, try to disguise it
If I smile softly you'll never know I always want more

There's a wolf outside the door
There's a serpent on the floor
