Weather dependent or just bored Signs are up the beach is empty on the shore Home for the summer and I’m alone In the back a few more cases to go of X-Files moving slow of X-Files as the summer goes

Stroll to Sager’s house But only for free beer Chris is already miserable Greek Life Kappa Sig. Posted at the keg Justin fills up my cup Head out for a cigarette Camel Crush Now we’re sitting in the corner so everybody knows How miserable we are Our favorite part To when we depart and get stoned Doubles rolling up on the television screen Archer, Power Rangers Tommy’s no longer green Then you leave my room And you tuck me into bed Another episode is made.

You’d think this song is sad You’d think this song is sad Not surprised by that You think everything is sad Missed sarcasm Suffocated sweet talk Psychiatrist naïve of life Too gullible You’d think this song is sad You’d think this song is sad Not surprised by that You think everything is sad You’re not helping You’re too happy Third times the charm Now I can get my space You’d think this song is sad You’d think this song is sad Not surprised by that You think everything I like is sad

SUNY Geneseo 02:57
Two months have gone by But I can’t talk to you Angry at the wrong guy Physics not the same Got no clue Index refraction Gaussian surface Suitemates in the bathroom Reseeding her dinner Nothing but apples Just keep getting thinner Can’t eat meat Endoscopy Hate my new friend group All they do is drink Sorry about this guys But the statesmen’s not for me HGTV’s on repeat Cable tells me when to sleep Jen’s going around with several guys I’m avoiding Dirty’s eyes Tyler’s a bear, he’s dead inside Forrest Gump and apple pie All I can say is this year ruined me If a body catch a body coming through the rye Walking through the city wondering where the ducks fly They’ll go south.

The Dojo 02:50

Cruel Devil 01:46
Cruela Devil Cruela Devil I relate so much to Cruela Devil A god complex no one can kill Cruela Cruela Devil Cruela Devil Cruela Devil Belittling people just for the thrill Chain smoke my cigarettes to get my fill Cruela, Cruela Devil Cruela Devil Cruela Devil Might as well just call me Cruela Devil Point out insecurities give them chills Cruela, Cruela Devil I’m Cruela Devil Cruela Devil My sadistic tendencies make my friends ill I’m just doing it to feel Too numb from the pills It looks like I’m Cruela Devil

Phil 03:13
Now that Keith died there’s this void Having a hard time to fill So I decided to pack a bowl Trying to distract myself Hopped in the car on my day off Death Grips yelling keeps me calm U.S. 78 South Blue sign tells me you’re alone Called your number on my phone Never expected to adopt a highway No need for attention just a highway Better than Boy Scout troop 789 No one’s highway is better than mine Decided to name you Phil Not after anyone I know Just for fun At least you won’t die like my fish And if there’s road work the state will fix Any superficial need I’ll visit you at least five times a week X4 Never expected to adopt a highway No need for attention just a highway Better than Boy Scout troop 789 No one’s highway better than mine

I wake up to too many pills Vaguely nauseous down the stairs Force myself to eat a bowl of cereal But what’s the point? Can’t see how someone could be satisfied by this The year of the egg is the only one I can’t get past Bethel fixes all the puzzles but she’ll never get Dispatched Daniel’s Hawaiian T-shirts aren’t coming home Now you’re with your two gowns all alone 9:45 time for our second dose Like this one better medicating myself Force more food down throat can’t get this off of my mind Kind of glad my brother can’t see me now The year of the egg is the only I need to get past Bethel’s done all the puzzle yet never been dispatched Daniel is 1000 miles away Tribute to a death have to stay.

about

An album written as a tribute to what I can’t express and to my brother Ryan. It’s been a lot harder to get through my days without him. The album is “split” into two parts, the first was focused on before I had to take a trip to Brylin. It deals more with how I felt after an emotionally draining experience among friends away at school. That part I dedicate to all of my SUNY Geneseo friends. The second part is what I wrote once I got out of the hospital. LIPS Records was nice enough to let the pent up emotions come out in a whimsical fashion. The album is mostly a tribute to my sanity, may it come back someday.

released October 9, 2015

I’d like to first thank Jake. If it wasn’t for our great recording sessions, fucking around at work, and just venturing around Hamburg I think I wouldn’t be able to reflect on the positive things that happened this summer. Thank you Jake for being there, and for letting me record with you once again. I’d also like to thank Chris. You came to the funeral even though you live about 600 miles away from me. You are truly someone I couldn’t live without and a reason I stay around. Also Matt, you put up with all my shit even though you sometimes you don’t even know where to start to help. Stay happy, you have incredible value. Hannah and Grace, thank you for putting up with my shit show and for visiting me at work that one time. I really love you guys. Even though we had several falling outs, I can honestly say you guys are amazing people. JP and Mark, thank you for being goons and for ruining that guitar ensembles night in June. You guys are literally the saddest of sad boys in the best way. “Live fast, die young, sad boys do it well.” A big thank you to the TKS for picking up the pieces and having a kick ass party at my house that one time. To the Longboards crew for putting up with my lovely summer and for covering my shift that one movie night. You guys are the brothers and sisters that I never expected to have. I hope you guys all are having a kick ass time at either your first or second year of college. Another to Mark and Nancy, for being like a second pair of parents. I’m so happy to work for you and your support means everything to me. That being said I also need to thank my parents. Rob and Shelly, thank you guys for paying for all the shit I complain about. I’m sorry you lost a son, and almost lost your daughter. Also to Sean and Tim, you two are now my only brothers. It’s shit that I have to even say that. Thank you two for being the stronger ones. To Jill, I’m always here for you, I wish we could have avoided everything that happened. To Liam, the President of Rock ‘n Roll, and Layla. You two are amazing kids and your dad was so proud of you guys. He still is. Another big thank you to ZuZu, you ate a piece of your tail off you dumb dog, but I love you.
