My friends don't need jobs 'Cause they all sell drugs And spend their Fridays setting fire with their college degrees And I think, to some degree, they are more practical than me My friends don't need God 'Cause they all feel loved And spend their Sundays sleeping in and getting high in the street And I think a greater meeting could be right beneath their noses Oh, Moses, Jesus, Annie full of grace You know I've been trying hard here, but I just can't hold the weight Of all this searching in circles, I'm trying to find my place The empty head feels heavier every day When Andy broke last fall, we all just shrugged There 'ain't no purpose fighting holy wars for something you're not And I think we're better off believing in ourselves But that's me A year ago today, I was ten bucks short of a four-quarter solution Resolution unavoided but learned to spoil it Don't know how I can make me proud again Make me proud again I don't know how I can make me proud again Don't know how I can make me proud again Teach me how I can make me proud again Teach me how I can make me proud again

Tonight we'll watch the presidential candidates debate And I'll bike 17 blocks down Haverford Avenue to buy a case And we'll pretend to know our facts While we verbally castrate the GOP And we'll make our parents proud by voting early But whatever the out come next year Man, too bad I'll still be here And I'll be sitting on the roof With my 5 best friends Talking real big game On all of our shitty bands I don't care what you believe You'll never be on the MTV So Madison Square Garden's our basement And if the cops show we'll find their replacement Tomorrow morning I'm scrambling every last egg in the God damn fridge

Lily's moved out west And Nick's moved on to England There's still a little inkling of me that hopes that they make it together But I'm just another stupid hopeless romantic And I should probably not say shit But who cares It doesn't matter to me as long as they're happy Corey just broke off his friendship with Jon over some trivial bullshit Probably for pussy If you said it I wouldn't believe it. But I'm just another stupid hopeless romantic And I should probably not say shit But who cares It doesn't matter to me as long as they're happy What is Happy?

about

This is a challenge for me to get better at home recording. The goal is to record 2 multi-track songs in a day and be able to mix and release them within a week. Hopefully, these will get better.
