I should have mowed more lawns last summer before October showed up. We spent too many sleepless nights scouting the dumpster at Dunkin Donuts. In the cosmos fitness parking lot we found a permanent fix for a lost cause and I spent the whole night wishing it would end, so it would stop and we could start it again. I spent all my money so I've been sleeping in your car and I hate your car, but I'll sleep there anyways. Quik Mart raised the prices on all my favorite vices and my van broke down now I've got nowhere to stay. You tell me if I really loved you, then I would buy you a ring. But all I've got is the black gel bracelets my goth friends gave to me. I wove 'em in a 69 so at least you'd know I'm clever and sexual. I guess love makes us do funny things. (and I think you liked that secretly). I spent all my money so I've been sleeping on your floor and I hate your floor but I'll sleep there anyways. Quik Mart raised the prices on all my favorite vices and my van broke down now I've got nowhere to stay. I know I said I'd never stop believing in myself, but honestly I've said a lot of shit. So while my soul is slowly running out of forgiveness, I'll find a way to hide or just forget. I spent all my money so I've been sleeping on your couch and I hate your couch but I'll sleep there anyways. Quik mart raised the prices on all my favorite vices and my van broke down now I've got nowhere to stay. I spent all my money so I've been sleeping in your bed and I hate your bed, but I love sleeping next to you. Quik mart raised the prices on all my favorite vices and my van broke down, I don't know what I'm gonna do. But, I know it's gonna be with you.

Trash Stains

instrumental intro ]

[Verse 1]
From the radio, your old songs are playing,
You knew exactly what you were saying,
Shouting into silence back in those days,
All your secret dreams set ablaze.
The world kept spinning just the same,
But you were far from the old game,
Watching from a distance to see
Who heard your voice, who set your songs free… or broke them.

[Bridge]
And still they play…

[Chorus]
From the radio, your old songs are playing,
Today you’re singing the same refrain,
The same old truths where you keep on asking:
Good people — where are you now?

⸻

[Verse 2]
It’s not just some ordinary feeling,
Every song is your skin you’re revealing,
Whether it’s stones they throw or praise,
You’ve long stopped keeping score these days.

[Bridge]
And still they play…

[Chorus]
From the radio, your old songs are playing,
Today you’re singing the same refrain,
The same old truths where you keep on asking:
Good people — where are you now?

⸻

[Instrumental – guitar solo]

⸻

[Verse 3]
The notes and words won’t let you grow older,
You write new lines, the fire still smoulders,
Truth and love still have their place
In every chord, in every phrase.
The world — it might have changed its face,
But you keep playing, keep your pace,
With your guitar like a trusted friend,
And a compass in your soul that knows the end.

[Chorus – final]
From the radio, your old songs are playing,
Today you’re singing the same refrain,
The same old truths where you keep on asking:
Good people — where are you now?

[Outro – instrumental fade]
