dylee_mang Brilliantly written, energetic, and fast paced. It’s all you need in a punk album. This album goes above and beyond to write hooky, catchy, and fun tracks that are sure to stick in your head for weeks on end. If you think you’re just gonna listen through this album and forget about it, just know “that’s not the way it’s gonna be.” Favorite track: Alibi.

Tabloids 02:34
Oh do tell me more of things you should ignore Fake stories that you tell yourself What's your identity? Who are you trying to be? And do you wish that it was somebody else? So what's the newest story? What's the newest trend? And how does it feel to know that your means have no end? Sucked into the scenes, in all the magazines Everyone's a critic, every critic is a fiend It doesn't feel so far, mansions and fancy cars You can almost touch it but it isn't who you are So what's your newest story? What's the newest trend? And how does it feel to know that your means have no end? You're lurking in everyone's business, it's an escape from an unfufilling life Always there to witness, who was wrong and who was right You're looking through TV shows, you're searching hard for that personality To what extent would you go to distract yourself for reality? So what's your newest story? What's the newest trend? And how does it feel to know that your means have no end? You're lurking in everyone's business, it's an escape from an unfufilling life Always there to witness, who was wrong and who was right You're looking through TV shows, you're searching hard for that personality To what extent would you go to distract yourself for reality?

Islands 03:35
All the shitty things you say and you still don't know You don't know who's to blame All the shitty things you do and you don't know why People turn their backs on you Create the islands on your own and you feel so far, you feel so far away Everybody's on their own when they make up their minds and they're choosing not to stay And they're choosing not to stay And they're choosing not to stay Do you think you'll know me in the morning? Should I beg, I'll beg down to your king? That's not the way it's gonna be That's not the way it's gonna be That's not the way it's gonna be That's not the way it's gonna be All the shitty things you say and you still don't know You don't know who's to blame All the shitty things you do and you don't know why People turn their backs on you Create the islands on your own and you feel so far, you feel so far away Everybody's on their own when they make up their minds and they're choosing not to stay And they're choosing not to stay And they're choosing not to stay Do you think you'll know me in the morning? Should I beg, I'll beg down to your king? That's not the way it's gonna be That's not the way it's gonna be That's not the way it's gonna be That's not the way it's gonna be Do you think you'll know me in the morning?

Slob 03:36
Rolling out of bed in the middle of the day Skipped the shower once again I didn't even wash my face There's tears in my shoes and holes in my jeans Dirty, dirty socks are busting at the seams (Yeah, right) And I don't have a car And I don't have a job I stink just like a bum and I smell just like a hog I've counted all the days since I've made it out of bed I've tallied all the ways I fucked up inside my head (Go!) The second hand keeps spinning while it's laughing at my face It's telling me I've gotta get out of this place I look around and all that I see is a life and it's full of apathy I guess that's what I get for being a slob And I've got maggots on my head and they're chewing on my brain Spending sunny days like the clouds are pouring rain I've got dirt on my skin and I'm scratching like a dog I should be doing work but I'm sleeping like a hog My mouth is dry as hell My blood has gone all cold My eyes are getting tired My face is growing mold I gotta turn this shit around this can't be how it ends Maybe now it's time I get my ass up out of bed The second hand keeps spinning while it's laughing at my face It's telling me I've gotta get out of this place I look around and all that I see is a life and it's full of apathy I guess that's what I get for being a slob Be a slob The second hand keeps spinning while it's laughing at my face It's telling me I've gotta get out of this place I look around and all that I see is a life and it's full of apathy I guess that's what I get for being a slob The second hand keeps spinning while it's laughing at my face It's telling me I've gotta get out of this place I look around and all that I see is a life and it's full of apathy I guess that's what I get for being a slob
