When Alcohol Tastes Like Juice
Written by Natalie Marie Claro 

Topic: Sometimes we get caught up in what’s comfortable and easy, because it’s instant gratification. Procrastinating, going out every weekend, indulging. Lack of achievement in certain milestones can be depressing, so by human instinct we cling to short term excitement.
When a cocktail is so sugary, you can hardly taste the alcohol. You may lose sight of the reality and get more intoxicated than you planned. The consequence comes later, despite that instant
gratification from the night before. Persevering with life’s challenges despite the struggle will pay off later. Have some balance. Drink sometimes. Just don’t get carried away when it tastes
like juice.

I’ve been spinning
For a long time
Can’t tell if it’s my age
Always lost on
What’s wrong or what’s right
Getting harder day by day
When I stand on paper
I get writing on my shoes
Walk a minute with some words
Drag the story through my room
Wasting money on my future
Saving coins to buy a rush
Being poison to my closest
Ones losing who I trust
Oh
Sippin’ on what tastes like fruit
Banking on games that I lose
Sippin’ on what’s sweet like fruit
Blind when the sting tastes like juice
So much info
at my fingertips
Yet I don’t know where start
Everyone that’s my age
So stuck yet focused
Running quickly over tar
Hourglass is draining
My life dictated by sand
Always laughing at my torture
With a wine glass in my hand
Panicked when I’m not creating
And I’m anxious when I am
Diagnosing every feeling
Finding where my hell began
Oh
Sippin’ on what tastes like fruit
Banking on games that I lose
Sippin’ on what’s sweet like fruit
Blind when the sting tastes like juice
Sippin on what’s sweet like fruit
Blind when the sting tastes like juice
So we sober up
Pound the water
Clear the toxins from our veins
Gratification
Ain’t instant
Don’t mask it in temporary ways
When I stand on paper
I get writing on my shoes
Walk a minute with some words
Drag the story through my room
You can hydrate for the future
Don’t spend coins just for a rush
Being stable for my closest ones
Being who I trust
Oh
Juice
Sweet like fruit
This alcohol tastes like juice

When Alcohol Tastes Like Juice

friction (remix) avery lynch

Traveling so far to get there 
All just to be here again 
All just to see what they saw
Back then

2 Late! (SOLRWAVE Remix)

Around

Oh no, circus is coming to town
Oh no, a monkey and his beat up song 

And though you try to discern from a serious thing 
Always moving about in your natural state.

Oh no, wouldn't want to be a star

Though I know it wont be long
The days are catching on 

Oh no, senses are coming around
Oh no, wouldn't want to stick around

And though you try to prolong all your mysterious ways
Always cruising around like some perfect mistake


And the fear thats never done
And you know its never done

Oh no, Circus is coming to town
Oh no, Wouldn’t want to be aroused


Oh no, Oh Yeah

Around

Dragging Branches is a song about remembering childhood, and looking for answers there.
It references "Mischief Day" - an informal holiday on which children and teenagers engage in pranks and vandalism.

LYRICS:

#VERSE
By the time you get on the bus (bus the rain)
The rain will have stopped and everyone will (will have stopped)
Have run out of gas
Except for the two (two buses that turn up)
Buses that turn up
At the same time (I)
One of those will take you home and (will take you home)
I will cycle through the starlight (through the starlight)
And the standstill streets all dry but still alone

#PRE-CHORUS
I always try to do what I want
But today instinct has no answer
So I try to remember

#CHORUS
Dragging branches through the cold
Celebrating this
Early November role
Well it's sunshine
But I can't feel my fingers
On this Mischief Day

#VERSE
We stand by the shelter at the (river though)
River though we have no boat (we have no boat)
It still divides us less than the invisible boundaries
Between our words
Desperately (I)
Trying to connect our minds (will change your mind)
Without the meeting of our eyes (and your eyes)
We're all grown up and we're all polite but
We should do better than that

#PRE-CHORUS
I always try to do what I want
But today instinct has no answer
So I try to remember

#CHORUS
Dragging branches through the cold
Celebrating this
Early November role
Well it's sunshine
But I can't feel my fingers
On this Mischief Day

#INSTRUMENTAL

#PRE-CHORUS
I always try to do what I want
But today instinct has no answer
So I try to remember

#CHORUS
Dragging branches through the cold
Celebrating this
Early November role
Well it's sunshine
But I can't feel my fingers
When I'm

#CHORUS
Dragging branches through the cold
Celebrating this
Early November role
Well it's sunshine
But I can't feel my fingers
Until you hold my hand
