Titular pipe dreams all through the day I'm the main character I cannot play Thinking of the ways I could help myself All to not to do them and go back to the shelf I can never stand it cause my life is a bore Waking every morning always feels like a chore I anticipate that it'll take three or four more Years to get me running from the liquor stores Titular pipe dreams outline my week Scheming up the means so I could tweak Stickler for perfection and it ruins my mind Until I can get it right I am living blind I can never stand it cause my life is fatigued Can't escape the feeling that my time has been peaked And I can't help but go and critique Every single moment that has grinded my teeth Titular pipe dreams

I spend all my money on plastic It makes me feel so unwell And I can't help but to want it I've never felt so compelled I flew my brain up to the attic So I can't be so annoyed Cause my brain is chocked with static Now I'm staring down the void
4.
You don't do what I ask of you to do It makes it hard to see you through Too many times I've repeated myself All for you to ask for my help But if you're always gonna spread the blame I don't think that we are the same I know it racks up in your brain I'll always let you find your lane There's never not a branch offered from me Whenever you need somebody But if you're always gonna spread the blame I don't think that we are the same

I can't be realized/idealized, even when I'm asleep or when I'm upset I can't be thoughtful, nor normal, even when I'm in trouble or when I'm flustered You would help me more than you realize You could do all the things I've dreamed of You would help me more than you realize You could do all the things I've dreamed of I can be taunted, not flaunted, even when I'm stressed out or when I'm feeling proud I can be homely, not lonely, even when I'm alone or sitting on the floor You would help me more than you realize You could do all the things I've dreamed of You should take the call from my brain line You could do all the things I've dreamed of

There's no way I'm in jail tonight I need to go out so I can catch my flight 150 in my lamborghini That cop that stopped me on the 'pike I had to go into the county line 150 in my lamborghini Stood on the curb of passing lights With his hands cuffed up like a boxing fight 150 in my lamborghini 150 in my lamborghini

I can't believe that this is what I'm left with Unqualified to even write a checklist I can't believe that this is what I'm left with Forced to motor on I know this ain't a plot twist I can't find a way to tell you that I'm upset At what you've left me here an unpracticed cadet And how he talks my ears off with his minor problems Choose to block him out I don't care for his nonsense (no) I can't believe that this is what I'm left with Unqualified to even exhale or exist I can't believe that this is what I'm left with Forced to motor on I know this ain't no plot twist I can't believe that this is what I'm left with

Why let them win? When you started in front I betcha they're thin 'Bout taking the brunt They want you dead Cause you started the fight Bystanders aren't debarred Cause they did what's right Why let them win?

Weary Eyed 05:00
I haven't tried to get you by my side I've found it easier to shut down and hide I haven't tried to get you by my side I've found it easier to swallow the night I'd work to move you but you seem so foreign There's too many cards at play You come from a land where the rivers flowing I'll settle for my embrace And so I keep a memory of you Tell me what the fuck am I supposed to do?

Interlude 01:01
You see me here I'm around your town Oh, I've been down Oh, I've been down

I Can't Wait 01:42
Nothing can phase me when I'm right But lately you've been out of sight Been feeling detrimental plight Result of your whorish life I do not know what's in the future I just know I can't wait Lately I've been barococo Stitched on my heart a wiener logo While my B.P. does a pogo Cause you got ran by the roadshow
12.
Shouldn't say that I'm a wanted man All I'll say is that I'm in command What a living, not the guy Most the losers start out in disguise He's not a man, he's not a man He's not a man, he's not a man I could say that I'm a solid dude I show up to work in a good mood But that living, that's the thing He's the reason that I'm outta string He's not a man, he's not a man He's not a man, he's not a man

I'd be sorry but you never told a joke that's funny to me You're a copy of the blandest coffee that's funny to me You talk tough but you're never gonna shake it The strip malls are awaiting at your presence Alarm clock there's no one who's gonna wake you The big mop is all that's gonna take you You talk tough but you're never gonna make it The strip malls are awaiting at your presence Alarm clock there's no one who's gonna wake you The big mop is all that's gonna take you, baby You talk tough but you're never gonna shake it The strip malls are awaiting at your presence Alarm clock there's no one who's gonna wake you The big mop is all that's gonna take you You talk tough but you're never gonna make it The strip malls are awaiting at your presence Alarm clock there's no one who's gonna wake you The big mop is all that's gonna take you, baby I'd be sorry but you never told a joke that's funny to me And your body is so goddamn ugly that's funny to me You're so sloppy that your job is choppy that's funny to me I'd be sorry but you never told a joke that's funny to me (hahaha) You talk tough but you're never gonna shake it The strip malls are awaiting at your presence Alarm clock there's no one who's gonna wake you The big mop is all that's gonna take you You talk tough but you're never gonna make it The strip malls are awaiting at your presence Alarm clock there's no one who's gonna wake you The big mop is all that's gonna take you

Bewildered 02:25
Losing weight, count the date, everything's the same Talking shit, 'bout to quit, wonder who's the blame In my head, moldy bread, expired what a shame Feeling strange, need a change, caught up in the game We'll see what happens I'm feeling bewildered We'll see what happens Found a flame, looks the same, just to pass the time Getting mad, after grad, haven't head a chime Low on dosh, feels awash, no intro to climb Feeling strange, need some change, haven't made a dime We'll see what happens I'm feeling bewildered We'll see what happens
15.
Yeah I'd say you need some time away To clear your thoughts about yesterday Go to work to wipe it all away The mental strain; is it worth the pay? Money's funny you can't act astray And I hope you won't feel decay Then you go home and it says the same Another empty head and sleep in shame
16.
On my second day of work I already want to quit I just want to feel my worth So I think I've got to split I won't be unemployed And time won't fill that void I'm annoyed, I'm annoyed My mind has been destroyed I can't say I hate my boss He's done me none but right I've been living a mirage I can't swallow my pride I won't be unemployed And time won't fill that void I'm annoyed, I'm annoyed My mind has been destroyed I won't be unemployed And time won't fill that void I'm annoyed, I'm annoyed My mind has been destroyed
17.
Can't hide excitement behind a paystub Can't find a trusty swath of air Can't try to be into all the gossip Can't dry all the tears you shared Don't speak like that; or you'll remind me you'll remind me Of a distant time that I don't care for What's said and done is in the past now It's in the past now Glued and stuck on it's a pain in my neck

We'll See 03:09
You see me on the program You see me on the show And yet you never called Just to say hello Do you wanna see my moves? You wanna see my file All this to be ignored And serve up a smile We'll see when I'm looking sharp We'll see when I'm feeling bold We'll see when I'm not that mad We'll see when I'm playing cold We'll see when I'm really sure We'll see when I'm on my own We'll see when I'm not as scared We'll see when I'm in the zone Been thinking 'bout what I could do To getattention from you Lack of skill won't hold me back I just stay out of view Do you want to see my moves? Do you wanna see the show? Response: a robot email There's always a grass to mow We'll see when I'm looking sharp We'll see when I'm feeling bold We'll see when I'm not that mad We'll see when I'm playing cold We'll see when I'm really sure We'll see when I'm on my own We'll see when I'm not as scared We'll see when I'm in the zone

First full length (40 minutes) from Monda. Filled to the brim with punk smackers, rollin' tunes that rock as well, and some softer moments. Enjoy with something cold and listen loud. Cheers. - Mike
