I miss the days of splitting french fries and drinking coffee
talkin naive teenage day dreams like we knew what we were doin
I was just 17 on the side of route three
my whole life seemed to fit inside of a parking lot
I wish it still did
He got sober and you moved away
of course everything was bound to change
now I'm laughin while I'm cryin man I'm fightin through the tears
but this smilin is prevailin and it's comforting me this year
thinkin back on my memories thinkin back on the things we made
thinkin back on everything I wish I could go back
Cuz there's no place I would rather be
there's nothing I would rather be
than a teenager
a teenager in New Jersey

Who is gonna take over jeopardy?
A question that I find very troubling. Alex trebek was always there for me So who is gonna take over jeopardy?
Who is gonna take over jeopardy
At the dinner table i watch it with my family
Got a mouth ful of gavadeal and broccoli Struggling to answer questions properly like Who is gonna take over
jeopardy?
Who is gonna take over jeopardy?
Best of luck in the search for someone as witty Please dont give the job to ken jennings
I don’t care about his grand total winnings
Or who is gonna take over jeopardy?
Who is gonna take over jeopardy
Tracing back down my childhood memory
Every tuesday night you would come visit me
help me with my homework then we would watch tv always talkin about your wheel of fortune theory And who is gonna take over jeopardy?
Who is gonna take over jeopardy?
A question that serves as a reminder to me That my grandpa passed away in 2017.
And all the things i love are disappearing and all I wanna know is Who is gonna take over jeopardy?
Who’s gonna take over jeopardy
What if I grew up to be 203
I was the oldest living person in history
The only thing I still Don’t know is
Who’s gonna take over jeopardy
Please no body take over jeopardy
Just put the whole thing on netflix for me
This way I can stream it from my smart tv With my remote i have control over everything Isolated in my home living comfortably
Please no body take over jeopardy

Crossing over the rail road tracks
Fighting through another anxiety attack
Watching myself slowly fade away
My commute alone is two hours each way
I was late for work so I’m driving real fast
That’s when I noticed the flag at half mast
But I didn’t think about it till I stopped for gas
Now I’m running through my thoughts
I couldn’t put my finger today
Cuz it feels like now were in constant dismay
Another mass murder in the USA
Oh well Wednesday is my pay day
The nra or the fda
Proud boys all across the USA
Tech companies and the fbi
Blah blah blah they want you to die
death creates new things to sell
I know at times it’s that’s hard to tell so
Let’s just make one thing understood
These products are for your own good
Thank god for targeted marketing so
people know what it is they need
New iPhones built for everyone
That conveniently break when the next one comes
Armed guards inside of all the schools
Lunch menus with organic food
Electronic cigarettes
And punk bands albums on cassettes
it’s a good thing this commutes
So long
Ill clear my head and write a song
But why even write a songs like this
Cuz it turns me Into a hypocrite
Taking advantage of a tragedy
Sayin my song Is what people need
everyone who’s come before me
Gone down the path of fame and glory
has done so just by speaking up
Against the evil and corrupt
Hey give me your cash give me exposure
Just till I am one step closer
I’m fightin hard to achieve this dream
But an artist life is hard for me
Cuz let’s just say there comes a day
When everything us artist say
Has finally gotten through them
art has solved the worlds problems
Do you think youll be content
When Everyone who was upset
Finds solace in your songs of pain
says you work them feel more sane
Are you mad your songs arent needed
starting to feel a bit defeated?
now i guess You can relate
To all the folks that you claim you hate?
All I’m asking is to be transparent
Admit that you’re not all that different
You don’t have to back the things they do
But don’t deny you aren’t in it for you
So I was crossing over the rail Road tracks
Fighting through another anxiety attack
Because It’s hard to claim art’s genuine
When everyone just sellin it
Do something more than sell your songs
Yell at people when they’re wrong
Work together to make the world better
Ahh fuck it
print your single screen gilidian shirts
Sell them for 20 bucks

The plants keep growing in my house
I know what this is all about
the world around me is always changing
I'm just trying to stay the same and
why does everything disappear
Just trying to make it through the year
Certain things get hard to say
Trying to keep the bad thoughts away
Now and then they find their way
to ruin my entire day
When I wake up I'm filled with fear
gottta ask myself why I'm still here.
If living means that I'm just dying
nothing seems less satisfying
the days drag on the years pass quick
watching the world change makes me feel sick.
and I miss you
cant wait to see you
and I miss you
cant wait to see you
AND I MISS YOU
CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU

Just Existing is Okay!

Dried up leaves where my dog falls asleep
and I feel myself fading away.
The sky is so grey on a day like today
this couldn't be anymore cliche.
I chew on my cheeks till my mouth starts to bleed
and it feels good to feel anything.
The people I love don't know how I love them
Cuz i never show them my cheeks
They don't know how bad I bleed
Inhale exhale breathe
Inhale exhale and sleep
Inhale exhale repeat
Thats all I got done today
I forgot just existing is okay
inhale exhale and breathe
