Motivation tends to elude me
Its a thunderstorm in the desert
But I bought these shiny presents
Went against my better judgment
Been feeling so lazy lately
Like a walking talking piece of shit
"But that's okay," she said
She said that's just the way it is
Boredom got the best of me again
Overstayed its welcome in my head
I don't wanna do anything at all
Smoke some weed and play my guitar
Are you gonna catch me if I fall?
A little man stood 10 feet tall
Lackadaisically he said to me, "you're in too deep"
Yeah, I'm in too deep
Boredom got the best of me again
Satisfaction is purely subjective
Success is a mystery
Staring blankly in a mirror
Another puzzle piece out of reach
So don't ask me any questions
I am only just a sheep
Boredom got the best of me again

Milk (Half Full Version)
02:10

Been putting milk in my coffee lately
What's new with you?
Its so emasculating when you tell me what to do
Spilling while I'm trying to measure everything I need to prove
Constantly debating forever what I need to say to you
Nobody can lose like me
It's something I've perfected
Being bored to death ain't a crime but it's still a life sentence
Getting caught up in everything
Its hard to remember everything we said back then and if we ever meant it

Copper King

A star in obscurity
At war with curiosity
Free from the shackles we wear
The screens and the money
So naive and yet so wise
Even more than meets the eye
A star in obscurity
All hail the copper king
In your own reality
Ignorant to society's expectations and all the pressures inducing our anxiety
All hail the copper king
Upon his throne he sits and thinks
All hail the copper king
Always there when it all turns bleak
All hail the copper king
Something to feed, something to need
All hail the copper king
One of a kind to you and me

So Complicated
02:16
|

A pair of earbuds in my ear despite no music playing
I was walking home at night doing some contemplating
Oh when and where did it get so complicated?
Oh how the hell did it get so complicated?
In my teenage years a few too many beers
Was too reliable a source of motivation
Oh when and where did it get so complicated?
Oh how the hell did it get so complicated?
Stars shine down on me but I don't know the constellations
Its like lighting from the sky when I'm struck with inspiration
Oh when and where did it get so complicated?
I thought to myself, maybe its not so complicated

Birthday Cake
01:35

The year without summer I wondered what you were doin' in your room all bundled up
Maybe watching TV or maybe reading a book
Maybe burning CDs or maybe learning to cook
I took a walk outside, I tied my shoes real tight
Put on my winter coat, it was July 9th
Ingredients to make a birthday cake are what make up my shopping list today
Birthday cake
Its your day
The year without summer I wondered what you were watching in your room all bundled up
Was it Grey's Anatomy? Or maybe SVU?
Maybe murder mystery or something new
I came to the door ready to celebrate
You came into my world today
If I could find the words to say I'd write them on this birthday cake
Birthday cake
Its your day

Burnin' A Hole

Burnin' a hole ten miles deep in my pocket
Losing control, I don't know how to stop it
Go to the store buy some food, buy some coffee,
Records, magazines, things I need gotta cop it
Always seeing smoke
What a joke
Burnin' a hole ten miles deep in my pocket
Losing control, I don't know how to stop it
Always debating do I need it? Do I want it?
Now I'm seeing losses where I used to see profit
Always seeing smoke
What a joke

Piece of Bread
03:04
|

|
Conversations about mundane things are dancing in the back of my mind
With a fleeting sense of companionship, they echo through the night
They fly so high, and I'm just trying with all my might
The only thing stocking shelves ever taught me was how to live inside my own head
My sense of humor had to sell its estate to an overwhelming sense of dread
I ate every last piece of bread
