There was a song on this EP that is now removed. I was unnecessarily cruel to myself in my lyrics and I no longer wish to have that song represent my opinion of myself.

I have a thing for guys who have a thing for chicks
I swear it's not intentional, attraction never is
You have a thing I can't and you love to show it off
You have a thing for playing games like I have a thing for loss
And I'm getting deeper, deeper
I have some things to teach, you have some things I could correct
And you'll end up a better man and I'll end up a wreck
I have some things called wounds, you have a thing called salt
It's either let you rub it in or not talk to you at all
And I'm getting deeper, deeper
You have a thing for me having a thing for you
I have nothing to justify the things we put me through
And I'm getting deeper, deeper

The Truth Is

The truth is:
I never wanna ever leave home again (I never, I never)
I never wanna ever leave home again (I never, I never)
Don't care about my family, don't care about my friends because I
I never wanna ever leave home again
Hit the lights, and close the curtain
Cuz it’s so bright my eyes are hurtin’
Get me a drink and let me just exist
Don’t need a phone, just need a TV
I’m here alone and you don’t need me
I wanna just lay low and eat like shit
Why try to hide the fact that everything seems useless?
Why go outside when you can hide inside? The truth is:
I never wanna ever leave home again (I never, I never)
I never wanna ever leave home again (I never, I never)
Don't care about my family, don't care about my friends because I
I never wanna ever leave home again
Don’t wanna see, don’t wanna hear you
Don’t wanna be anywhere near you
It’s nothing personal, I just need some time
I wanna eat another breakfast
And wash it down with rum and Netflix
Maybe next week I’ll be feeling fine
Why try to hide the fact that everything seems useless?
Why go outside when you can hide inside? The truth is:
I never wanna ever leave home again (I never, I never)
I never wanna ever leave home again (I never, I never)
Don't care about my family, don't care about my friends because I
I never wanna ever leave home again

Give Me A Taste
03:26

I feel shorter today than I did yesterday and I barely can keep my eyes open
But there’s nothing that I want to see anyway - it don’t matter at all if I’m broken
If I recall correctly, with all due respect, we once had something bigger in mind
I don’t know exactly when I got distracted but I've found better use of my time
Sit me down in the dark with a glassful of drink
With a handful of nothing and a head full of think
With a past full of promise and a night full of waste
Sit me down in the dark and just give me a taste
I feel older today than I did yesterday and I’m fitting of all the assumptions
I got no songs to play, I got nothing to say, ‘cept I love this unconscious consumption
So you had hopes for me, but I happen to be just contented to give up the fight
With an absence of hope and a schedule wide open, you know where to find me tonight
Sit me down in the dark with a glassful of drink
With a handful of nothing and a head full of think
With a past full of promise and a night full of waste
Sit me down in the dark and just give me a taste

You're dumb dumb da dumb dumb da dumb
You're dumb dumb da dumb dumb da dumb
You're dumb dumb da dumb dumb da dumb
You're dumb dumb da dumb
I'm a little too permissive
I'm a little too strict
I'm a little too much of a
Political prick
I'm a little too queer
I'm a little too straight
I'm a little too early
And a little too late
And I hope you'll forgive me
For the things you project
Cuz the person you think I am
You can't respect
But I wish that you knew me
Cuz then you would see
There are plenty of rational reasons
For you to hate me
You're dumb dumb da dumb dumb da dumb
You're dumb dumb da dumb dumb da dumb
You're dumb dumb da dumb dumb da dumb
You're dumb dumb da dumb
I'm a little too privileged
I'm a little oppressed
I'm a little bit cocky
Or a little depressed
I'm a little of this
And a little of that
I'm a little of everything
You could attack
And I hope you'll forgive me
For the things you project
Cuz the person you think I am
You can't respect
But I wish that you knew me
Cuz then you would see
There are plenty of rational reasons
For you to hate me
You're dumb dumb da dumb dumb da dumb
You're dumb dumb da dumb dumb da dumb
You're dumb dumb da dumb dumb da dumb
You're dumb dumb da dumb

If We Let Ourselves
04:44

The first thing I ever wanted was attention
I wanted to be liked and to fit in
And I tried to hide the fact that I was different
So I acted like a shitty little kid
Then the doctor gave me pills for my depression
But I don't really remember how they felt
I took them on and off through adolescence
But they never got me closer to myself
Well I took Marie's affection, never really gave it back
It was selfish desperation and I still feel bad for that
But she's happy now, and married to another guy named Mat
We're getting better if we let ourselves
The second thing I ever wanted was understanding
To know the world and what role I should play
I wrote a couple hundred songs and counting
And met everyone I know along the way
Every person held a small piece of my future
Either something to absorb or to reject
I'm a product of a billion bits of culture
With a crucial little dash of self respect
Well I took my friends' affection, though it mattered less and less
If I went my true direction they would see me at my best
Finally I learned to trust the muscle beating in my chest
We're getting better if we let ourselves
I remember when I realized I loved you
I had never known the meaning of the word
I'm embarrassed to admit that it was tough to
Not just run away for fear of getting hurt
But you helped me break the last pieces of wall down
And I'd like to think I'm helping you out, too
I can say with certainty, once and for all now
The third thing I ever wanted was you
You have all my affection, and I know that I have yours
And that's comfort and protection from the pain that we've endured
While I have my doubts of many things, I've never felt so sure
We're getting better if we let ourselves
We'll be forever if we let ourselves
