Upon receiving a decent number of requests: this track is now downloadable. Man, almost 2k views? you guys rock.

I've been writing this during the pandemic. It's been a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy it. Brings back that late 90's pop-punk era sound. The final bass track has now been added (as of 05/27/2021).

lyrics: 
i can't see anymore
i'm tired of all these thoughts that eat me alive
wait here for me
i'll be back eventually
close ur eyes, slip back into memory
i can't die all alone, i've done it so many times before
i'm so tired of wasting my time
i'm so sick of my own mind
i can never describe how it feels
so i just keep it to myself and hope it heals

Here's my take on this blink b-side

Time to Break Up (blink-182 cover) [TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS AND JACKET BONUS TRACK]

polly (nirvana cover)

Smalltime

Seen enough to know
I ain't seen it all
But I've seen enough of you
You set yourself up for the fall
Here comes your payment due
Carve up your fuckin line
Convince the ignorant
But don't ever turn your back 
On the kids that help pay your rent

You're fuckin smalltime
You're just a fuckin fraud
You're fuckin smalltime

The truth will be
So hard to see
That's just the way it goes

Then you will
You will see
The truth behind your bullshit
You'll realize that you've become
Something that we despise

What have you done?
With all your time
That makes you 
Irreplaceable?

Cuz the music's so popular
To the of the world
Generates the biggest fuckin "Rock Stars"
No matter what they've sold
I thought this was about the music?
Not about your fuckin cut
I thought this was about the music?
Not about your fuckin cut

You're fuckin smalltime
So what the fuck ARE you about?
You're fuckin smalltime
Fuck you
Fuck all your "worth"

*Geeeeet THIIIIIS!!*-Drummer Ryan Baker's impression of the ol' redneck in a Hardee's Thickburger commercial that was popular at the time.

So far from home/Wrong fuckin turns
But I wouldn't trade this for the world
Gave up on luck/Still broke as fuck
But who can tame/A heart of gold?

And every time/Things went wrong
The riffs were there/To fall back on
And when true love/Walked out the door
I turned to vinyl/Scattered on the floor

What if this all/Had passed me by
If I had chased a different dream (Oh, the irony)
Top 40 life/One more kid dead inside
I don't regret a fuckin' thing

And every (stream and creek?)/We come across
And every hard earned dollar/That we've lost
Will never change/The love I have for this
My life remains the same/Whether or not
They exist
They don't exist

I sit here with eyes glued to/The window
Of a moving van/Sifting through memories
Choices I've made/Heartbreak and regret
The loss/The chance of
And the open doors  
I was too scared to face
Every dream/That I let slip away

Except For This One

They may not see/What this means to me
At least I know/I'm none of 'em
What good is life?/Bad friends and dead inside
The nameless faces and the road/They've become my home
