drinkin in the apocalypse

"(Quarantined In) Virginia"

I've always dreamed about airplanes
leaving my home state
I've always dreamed about leaving 
but I'm always late

I've always dreamed about airplanes
and leaving my home state
I always dream about leaving 
but I'm always late
I'm always late

Virginia how could you just go away
it seems like yesterday 
we were drinking together
Virginia I still dream of you
I remember those days we spent
quarantined together

I've always dreamed about airplanes
and leaving my home state
I've always dreamed about leaving 
but I'm always...

I've always dreamed about airplanes
leaving my home state
I always dream of leaving 
but I'm always ….
I'm always ….

Virginia how could you just go away
it seems just like yesterday 
we were drinking together
I still dream of you
I remember those days we spent
hiding together

"Drinking Away the Virus Today"

I'm sick of sitting around 
I hate just hanging out
I'm drinking too much lager
I'm drinking too much stout
oh hey
I need another IPA

I want to go downtown
but I guess I got my doubt
I want a Bloody Mary
I want a Guinness Stout
oh hey
What are we drinking today?

I'm tired of lockdown
it makes me want to shout
please get me a gin & tonic
I spilled another stout
oh hey
We're drinking away the virus today

I'm sick of sitting around 
I hate just hanging out
I'm drinking too much lager
I'm drinking too much stout
oh hey
We're drinking away the virus today
oh hey
we're drinking away the virus today

"I Hope the Summer Comes (And Takes It All Away)"

I'm Only Drinking Thru the Lockdown


I'm only drinking cause the lockdown
I didn't think it would be so long
but how quickly I can make beer gone
in a never ending lockdown

I'm only drinking thru the lockdown
And if there were someone around
to say 'Hey man, what's down?'
I'd say 'I'm drinking thru the lockdown.'

If I weren't dinking thru the lockdown
I'd be bored with a frown
things are closed all over town
that's why I'm drinking thru the lockdown

That's why I'm drinking thru the lockdown
That's why I'm drinking thru the lockdown
I'm only drinking cause the lockdown

I'm only drinking cause the lockdown
I'm only drinking cause the lockdown

I'm Only Drinking Thru The Lockdown

Get Your Mask On (We've Got To Get Beer)

"drinkin in the apocalypse"

drinkin in the apocalypse
you never know when you're gonna check out
drinkin in the apocalypse
who's gonna brew more stout?
drinkin in the apocalypse
everyday is Friday night
drinkin in the apocalypse
I don't plan on dying, but I might

Is this my last beer ever?
Is this the last beer ever?

drinkin in the end of time

drinkin in a pandemic
surviving on beer and red wine
drinkin in the end of time
I don't care no one's around
drinkin in the apocalypse
there's got to be more beer in this town

is this my last beer ever?
is this my last beer ever?

drinkin in the apocalypse
you never know when you're gonna check out
drinkin in the apocalypse
who's gonna brew me more stout?
drinkin in the apocalypse
everynight is Friday night
drinkin in the apocalypse
I don't plan on dying, but I might

Is this my last beer ever?
Is this the last beer ever?

Mourning Weather

"Do You Ever Feel Like It's All Too Real?"

Hey, I'm not doing well in my head somehow
I don't think I should be alone right now
Let's go get a beer
Let's meet somewhere near

Hey, I feeling lost, I'm feeling small
I'm feeling like nothing matters at all
I want to talk about my soul
But first let's pack a bowl

Hey, sometimes I get lost in my dark
I need someone to light a spark
Do you ever feel
like it's all too real?

Hey, I dream of how it used to be
When we were healthy and free
I feel so trapped
But I guess I'll adapt

Let's go get a beer
Let's meet somewhere near

Do You Ever Feel Like It's All Too Real?

"Not Going To Miss This"

I'm not going to miss this summer
I'm not going to miss this summer
I'm not going to miss this summer

It mocked me
it weighed me down
No one was around 
in this ghost town.

It took my friend
won't ever end
nuclear meltdown
ruined playground

Trying to teach me
but it beat me.
It taught me 
not to believe in myself.

It was a garden
of self doubt;
when autumn comes
will anger sprout?

I'm not going to miss this summer
I'm not going to miss this summer
I'm not going to miss this summer

I'm not going to miss this summer
I'm not going to miss this summer
I'm not going to miss this summer

It tore me down
won't help me up
won't listen when I said
that I've had enough.

Like pulling teeth,
falling on the street
everything broken
and the devil's discreet.

It took my patience
if I ever had any,
and replaced it all
with complacency 

Burn the calendar
turn the page
I'm no ambassador
for the summer's rage

Not Going To Miss This

"I Dreamed That You'd Never Take Off Your Mask"

Got to wear a mask unless you're drinking beer
that's why there's a cold one right here;
ever since March I haven't had to steer.

Got to wear a mask in all the stores
that's why I'm staying outdoors
drinking anything but Coors.

Had a dream I wore a mask in the ocean
it wouldn't come off even with the motion
I woke up still looking for the potion.

I had a dream that you'd never take off your mask
I had a dream that you'd never take off your mask

I had a dream that you'd never take off your mask
I had a dream that you'd never take off your mask

I Dreamed That You'd Never Take Off Your Mask

"I Don't Know What I Thought Would Happen"

Do you feel trapped in a wrong place too?
Do you feel this can't be happening to you?

I thought I would sit and write a book all spring
but I feel beaten, knocked down in the boxer's ring.

I don't know what I thought would happen
I don't know what I want to happen

I spent all summer painting in a darkened cave
I want to leave but I can't because I'm afraid

I don't know what I thought would happen
I don't know what I want to happen

I feel like I've been pushed down the stairs again
I think I've made loneliness my best friend

I thought I could out drink this thing but I'm clearly wrong;
it's right what I ordered, man it's just way too strong

I don't know what I thought would happen
I don't know what I want to happen

I Don't Know What I Thought Would Happen

"I'm Hoping For Another Lockdown"

Yeah I'm hoping for another lockdown
Yeah I'm hoping for another lockdown

I like my town better when there's no one around
I like not having to go far so I can sit in an empty bar
I'm not trying to sound like a jerk but I really don't want to back to work

Yeah I'm hoping for another lockdown
Yeah I'm hoping for another lockdown

There are so many crowds I can't wait 'til they're not allowed
and if you have to ask, Fvck Yes I like my mask
but what I really love are my latex disposable gloves

Yeah I'm hoping for another lockdown
Yeah I'm hoping for another lockdown

I miss turning on the t.v. and having some doctor yelling at me
I might be a fool but I don't care if my kid goes to school
As long as she don't have a fever you know I'll never leave her

Yeah I'm hoping for another lockdown
Yeah I'm hoping for another lockdown

Yeah I'm hoping for another lockdown
Yeah I'm hoping for another lockdown

I'm Hoping For Another Lockdown

'pocalypse party

grab the weed, pack some beer & let's go
the world may be ending quickly but we can dance real slow
to that reggae music they'll be playing I know
we can forget why we're feeling so low

at the 'pocalypse party, the best of the year
party like the end is here
'pocalypse party, the best of the year
party like the end is near

grab your wine, put on a mask & let's go
it could be the best night of the year I believe so
a live band and marijuana smoke
is this social distancing?, I guess No

it's a 'pocalypse party, the best of the year
party like the end is here
'pocalypse party, the best of the year
party like the end is near

hey grab my gin, pour some juice & let's roll,
where we're going you might lose self-control
we can dance fast when they're playing slow soul
to have a couple of smile is my only goal

at the 'pocalypse party, the best of the year
party like the end is here
'pocalypse party, the best of the year
party like the end is near

'pocalypse party

"I'm Not Inspired By It"

Lately I've been getting the craziest thoughts in my head
Daydreams: I'd rather have them at night instead
Lonely: I feel like I have never been found
Frankly I feel better when no one's around

I so tired of it, how about you?
I'm not inspired by it, how about you?
I so tired of it, how about you?
I'm not inspired by it, how about you?

Moody; you'd better stay out of my way
Hermit; I'm not leaving the house today
Angry; pissed off at nothing at all
Headache from banging my face against the wall

I so tired of it, how about you?
I'm not inspired by it, how about you?
I so tired of it, how about you?
I'm not inspired by it, how about you?

Freezing from giving the cold shoulder all these years
hiding from all my irrational fears
Lying about what I think to myself
Putting all my ambitions on a shelf 

I so tired of it, how about you?
I'm not inspired by it, how about you?
I so tired of it, how about you?
I'm not inspired by it, how about you?

I'm Not Inspired By It

"I Think I Got It (Or Maybe I Got Too Stoned)"

How do I know if I need a test
or just some beer-free rest?
I don't know
I woke up today feeling like hell
these days it's just so hard to tell
oh no
I'll take today at a slow pace
it feels like I drank an entire case
I don't know
Did I have a close contact?
My body is reading me the riot act
oh no

I think I got it
I think I got it
I think I got it
but maybe I'm too stoned
but maybe I'm too stoned
I think I got it
I think I got it
I think I got it
but maybe I got too stoned
but maybe I got too stoned

I Think I Got It (Or Maybe I Got Too Stoned)

Why Do I Feel So Lost I Know Exactly Where I Am

Why do I feel so lost I know exactly where I am
Why do I feel so lost I know exactly where I am

I feel connected to you, I know you're lost too
I've always felt alone curious of any light I'm shown

Why do I feel so lost I know exactly where I am
Why do I feel so lost I know exactly where I am

If you ever felt betrayed I hear what you say
If you ever felt left out you're not alone, no doubt

Why do I feel so lost I know exactly where I am
Why do I feel so lost I know exactly where I am

I feel connected to you, I know you're lost too
If you ever felt left out, you're not alone, no doubt

Why Do I Feel So Lost I Know Exactly Where I Am

"Just One More Week Til It's Over"

I'm so sick of this shit
Do you know when it's going to quit?
No one seems to know
I feel trapped in some t.v. show

I'll sit back and read some poetry
while people are all fighting locally
the only thing to fix my anxiety
is to disappear from society

Just one more week til it's over 

Sit back get lost in some book
you're an artist create a new look
hum along to the song's hook
don't laugh at my sketchbook

smoke some weed and drink some beer
sit back and dream of next year
close your eyes you don't have to steer
the end of it is going to be near

Just one more week til it's over

Just One More Week Til It's Over
