Surfs Up 04:40
lyrics
buy track
Plastic straw lobotomy but hold the ice We're in my toxic praise And it's up to 59 by the time I write Surfs up motherfucker on the edge of a knife Well we see it every day but no one cares There's always someone looking for the next 10 years Cause now everyone is used to being abused So we don't bat an eye for the headline news So now we're surfing on nuclear beaches Taking it in from the toxic preachers The sun is burning hot As we zoom through space on a plastic rock There's a 5 eyed fish in a charcoal reef Be careful of the glass that'll cut your feet From the busted hearts to the broken head Like and subscribe as I wash up dead What the fuck did you say to me? High off the fire burning in my skin My mind is glass and it's full of it A shooting star, bottle rocket, comet in the sky A booming burn-out in the blink of an eye Ambition is the enemy until it's all done By the time I get back, you'll have all moved on So I'm gonna pack my bags, sail to the sun We're all gonna die but that's just part of the fun So now we're surfing on nuclear beaches Taking it in from the toxic preachers The sun is burning hot As we zoom through space on a plastic rock There's a 5 eyed fish in a charcoal reef Be careful of the glass that'll cut your feet From the busted hearts to the broken head Like and subscribe as I wash up dead

Beaches 02:47
lyrics

Let the sun burn my eyes out it's crazy I really wanna be somebody I wanna build something oh so crazy I really wanna be something I wanna walk down those beaches So lovely people can see it But I don't know why this notion is so seamless Aren't we all just creatures Why does everybody hate me Green eyes got me fucking crazy I'm so squeamish of being so lonely I'm losing all my marbles Something so empty escapes from me My lovely mushroom baby She's just so, unforgettable I'm just so, hypothetical Even if I'm just a thought in your mind That's fine that's fine I just can't be alone Why does everybody hate me Green eyes got me fucking crazy Go too bed and wakey wakey Get down on the beach be lazy

Glass Head 03:27
lyrics
buy track
I went to bed Past a reasonable hour Green eyes of red I'm not a glass head Share a joke, make a smoke Tell the joke again Touch grass, Drink gas With all of our heads of glass I was younger, I'm moving fast With all our heads of glass Sit back, pizza rat Who was that roommate Add time, peace of mine Add thyme and drink it I'm lost, oh gosh Brain is mush again No bread, glass head Cellophane flower dream I was younger I'm moving fast With all our heads of glass I went to the party I got real crazy All my friends hate me I get in the car I drove real early Oh so insecurely Scream and rollover Wake up stay up pour some tears out Drink up stand up I can't walk out Fall down feel ground soft. and round sound Thinking sinking can't stop drinking now

Sleeves 01:18
lyrics
buy track
She's got a heart sewn to her sleeve A denim haircut with her model dreams Of turtle necks and fishing nets under a scream So loud it wakes the morning up three hours before me So baby baby build a home next to me And dice up mushroom with a side of tea A nightmare and a fantasy choking me with glee And if I'm caught she's got the knife to cut me free The dead man wakes the morning up....

50+ SPF Strawberry Scented Sunscreen 01:25
lyrics
buy track
I'll be your boyfriend, If you'll be my girlfriend I'll be your boyfriend if that's what you want Hearts can't burn if they're always in the shade I'd give you my heart but I'll always be afraid of burning In the sun I'll be your girlfriend, If you'll be my girlfriend I'll be your girlfriend, if that's what you want I'm burning in the sun and I afraid of everyone I'm burning in the sun and I don't wanna see you burn away In the sun I'll be your boyfriend and put on your sunscreen I'll put on your sunscreen if that's what you want I'll put on your sunscreen and save you from the sun I'll put on your sunscreen and save you from the sun She was wearing strawberry scented 50+ SPF On the day that we first met

Sunburn 02:31
lyrics
buy track
I'm on everything to keep me sane And I don't understand why there's so much pain I'm a loser in the scene with rebel teens Trying to figure out what all this shit means And I've got a sunburn From all the years of burning in the sun You gotta stand for what you believe Cause i see that heart sewn on your sleeves Freak out, Speak out, disprove my doubts That's how you make wasting away count And I've got a sunburn From all the years of getting burned by everyone I've got a sunburn, it doesn't define me I've got a sunburn, burn, burn, burn, burn, Burn Bite the hand that burns you Bite the hand that burns you Don't let it happen to anyone else Bite the hand that burns you I don't wanna see her burn away in the sun Don't burn away

Shit 01:16
lyrics
buy track
Living in a cellophane flower dream I move closer to the light that's killing me You are my light, you're the end all The end of the knife cut my heart into chards If I am nothing I can't be seen So if I'm in pain I feel nothing Outside of the noise and impotent expressing Catch a wave and knock me out from where I'm sending Let's build a home right next to me We got the bricks and we got the tea Wait this land is owning me Am I dreaming when I scream I just want to give a shit I just want to give a shit Oh now I'm so full of it WHy can't you just give a shit

Bottle Rocket 02:24
lyrics
buy track
Don't get all stuck in the flood Or lost in a house with no rooms Said this life is a bottle rocket Straight through the eye socket Married from cradle to tomb and on and on And it's on and on Just a blip under the sun Make shit or break shit You might as well face it That mirror book case It's a wall you can taste It's like money it's so funny How it fills up your tummy Better than a meal ever could so take it all Just go take it all I want nothing from you And now your eyes are shining bright Straight through the back of my skull Your burning this place and you're running away But I can't see you go Well earth looks much better from the stars Singing from heaven to you As you go to find sleep On Redondo beach But i can't take dismal feeling that you're gone gone Are you gone gone? Or are you just gone?

Get Better 03:25
lyrics
buy track
You told me every time I try to get better I only get worse As if learning to surf on the ice-cold ocean I burn I can admit that somewhere I always make the wrong turns But next time I'll bring sunscreen with a strawberry scent in return Every time I try to get better I only get worse Every time I try to get better I only get worse Well it was something you were saying And it's playing back now in reverse You said every time I try to get better I only get worse But if I'm the one and you say I am the one You are wrong to say that I am not the one To catch you dead in the water On a redundant speech I'll dip my toes in but it's boiling my feets Or foots or fucking whatever man whatever Every time I try to get better I only get worse Every time I try to get better I only get worse Well it was something you were saying And it's playing back now in reverse You said every time I try to get better I only get worse If you are my mushroom I was tripping into next week I would try butter but I got two left feet When this albums is over and the summer is here We'll all sear and cheer for mere fears, Tears for the next light year But still, they all come running like a wave from a stormy sea It's rough it's dark it's cold I'll cut your throat that second your exposed It's a game of making taking Frustrating back-breaking to say the very least There's fire in her eyes in this dying light And I forgot my fucking sunscreen

Sun Scream 05:18
lyrics
buy track
I fall to the floor my eyes are open wide There's blood from the gash gushing right out my side I hold the embrace pulling your body to mine And as you start to cry I just smile and say, it's alright I try to yell out but the words won't come out As you reach for the gun And when I close my eyes I'll be Screaming from the sun There's blood on the floor my red hands fall to my side Choking and hacking up one more loving smile With tears in your eyes as you look right into mine And then you take the knife and keep driving it in one more time I try to yell out but the words won't come out As you reach for the gun The blood in my eyes your weeps and your cries It's a sensory overload The gun to your head, while nothing is said Fighting until it's done And when I close my eyes I'll be screaming from the sun And when I close my eyes I'll be screaming from the sun
