Every day I feel like giving up And every other day I get back up Half my mind’s delusional Point 5 is institutional I am a bitter sheep who wants to be a lion Sometimes I never cease to impress myself But I can’t seem to impress anyone else To all my friends and believers Better make me buy you a drink next time I see ya We are success obsessed Though we deny to define success Cause we don’t know how You say you’ll know, I say you won’t Figure out what it is that you want And then go get it I never cease to impress myself But I can’t seem to impress anyone else To all my friends and believers Better make me buy you a drink next time I see ya I will be the fire that will catch on I will be the bridge you wished you spared your match on I will the vice you’re glad you spent your cash on I will be the renaissance I never cease to impress myself But I can’t seem to impress anyone else To all my friends and believers Better make me buy you a drink next time I see ya

Go, Go, Go 03:45
Pressure to be a success With little control over the outcome But I feel like a punk with a job And a loser without one I am excited rarely, happy barely, failure scared me But ah man that was back when Now I embrace it as if we were old friends Going out reminiscing over conquered fears Laugh in between beer after beer Maybe one day I’ll be buying But for now the tab will not read “Ryan” Trying to embrace the need to go, go, go Much rather relax and take it slow, slow, slow Trying to embrace the need to go, go, go Much rather relax and take it slow, slow, slow Slow Talent without love is a keyless piano It’s no bueno But unfortunately, it’s upsetting to think That it’s not as uncommon as you would think it to be Some were born with a flight to the stars Some would rather post up in bars Neither is more noble but one is more comfortable And comfort is a killer Comfort is a killer Yeah, comfort is a killer Trying to embrace the need to go, go, go Much rather relax and take it slow, slow, slow Trying to embrace the need to go, go, go Much rather relax and take it slow, slow, slow Slow

Today was a hundred dollar day Gonna spend all the nickels and the dimes I made tonight Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Got a itchin in the back of my throat I think The only way to reach it is an ice cold drink tonight Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Take my feet up and down these streets Cause I ain’t gonna sleep Without alcohol in me Pee on trees and hit on girls Unsuccessfully But that’s all right “Why?” you ask Because Today was a hundred dollar day Gonna spend all the nickels and the dimes I made tonight Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Got a itchin in the back of my throat I think The only way to reach it is an ice cold drink tonight Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I think I wanna drink drinks I think I wanna drink drinks tonight I think I wanna drink drinks I think I wanna drink drinks tonight I think I wanna drink drinks I think I want to drink some drinks I think I wanna drink some drinks Yeah, yeah, yeah Today was a hundred dollar day Gonna spend all the nickels and the pennies And the quarters and the dimes I even found a Canadian penny Today was a hundred dollar day Gonna spend all the nickels and the dimes I made tonight Got a itchin in the back of my throat I think The only way to reach it is an ice cold drink tonight

As soon as I wake up I can feel the pain kickin in Hand to my head and say I’m never gonna drink again Then I feel myself smiling cause I know I’m lying Typical Ryan Pants, shirt, shoes, keys, wallet, phone, shades Hit the nearest corner store for purple Gatorade And As I stand in line with people behind me I wonder what it’d be like if they recognized me But no words as I pay the man Head to the door and take a sip of my beverage Maybe tomorrow things might change But for now I’ll pretend that I’m famous Tonight Let’s pretend that Bud Light is some really expensive wine All this time I never knew that fame was in my mind (I shoulda told ya) Fame was in my mind (I never listened to ya) Fame was in my mind I’m so sick of this job, I’m so sick of this job These words keep cycling through my head all day long Until I grab my guitar And I can start shooting for the stars on Hollywood Boulevard You are a liar, if you say attention Was never the intention Come on, man Grab you a drink after that open mic set and come talk to me We’ll pretend that we’re famous Tonight Let’s pretend that Bud Light is some really expensive wine All this time I never knew that fame was in my mind (I shoulda told ya) Fame was in my mind (I woulda listened to ya) Fame was my mind All my life I don’t wanna be mad

Do this, do that, help me out You’re appalled if I don’t bend over backwards To please you You want my money time and effort And without it you threaten to cut me off Well please do I know that my opinion is matter-less But if you care to know Well here it is I don’t like you I-d-o-n-t-l-i-k-e Y-o-u I don’t like you I-d-o-n-t-l-i-k-e Why do you do the things that give me headaches? Make me say I don’t like you I don’t like you (La da da da da da da) I don’t like you (La da da da da da da) I don’t like you (La da da da da da da) I don’t like you No, I don’t I’ve sat through everything you’ve done I’ve helped you out on more than one Occasion but you’re selfish You won’t thank me makes me angry Maybe I’m just a fan who learned guitar one day Or maybe reciprocity’s philosophy’s beyond me I don’t like you I-d-o-n-t-l-i-k-e Y-o-u I don’t like you I-d-o-n-t-l-i-k-e Why do you do the things that give me headaches? Make me say I don’t like you I don’t like you (La da da da da da da) I don’t like you (La da da da da da da) I don’t like you (La da da da da da da) I don’t like you No, I don’t Maybe I’m wrong Maybe I just misinterpreted you from the jump by mistake Or maybe I was right all along I don’t like you I-d-o-n-t-l-i-k-e Y-o-u I don’t like you I-d-o-n-t-l-i-k-e Why do you do the things that give me headaches?

When heroes start to disappear We’re left with what we have right here I wish I could know What it felt just like when you were here Instead I have to go Back in time in my mind Lately it seems as if everybody’s had their day Maybe I was born too late Maybe they ain’t heard me yet Too busy with the internet Yeah I wish I could know What it felt just like when you were here Instead I have to go Back in time in my mind Lately it seems as if everybody’s had their day Maybe I was born too late

Jealousy 01:37
I don't want to wish bad upon you But you're making it real hard not to
10.
I need not a need for progression I want not to want to do well I know cruise control Could sooth my soul But tailgaters got me pushing to the left I know the reasons why They’re not as sweet as I made them out to be In daydreams Life gets easier Then it gets hard Sometimes it’s breezier Sometimes it’s hot But you gotta take a breath The best will take your breath away And when its just a little left You gotta get it right away And when you wanna press pause Sometimes you gotta let it play I know the reasons why They’re not as sweet as I made them out to be In daydreams
11.
Charity 02:07
I’m guilty And I’m sorry Nobody’s gonna help you Unless you return the favor I learned that the hard way Now I do things the smart way Charity, you made me weak No one thing is free Especially the good things I’m guilty And I’m sorry Charity, you made me weak No one thing is free Especially the good things
12.
Yeah it sucks to be left all alone Got me constantly watching my phone Yeah I’m glad when you’re here Sad when you’re gone Sucks to be left all alone Excuses, I use them To get out of doing different things But all my true friends, I’ve deluded them Into thinking I’m doing something important But in the grand scheme of it all Clichés run the radio law these days I won’t cry, no boo-hoo Yeah it sucks to be left all alone Got me constantly watching my phone Yeah I’m glad when you’re here Sad when you’re gone Sucks to be left all alone Girl I know you ain’t doing nothing tonight Why don’t you come hang with me? None of them boys is treating you right Just come and talk to me, just come and talk to me
13.
Guided by the lights of the car in front of me But when it turns I’ll be in the dark Will I find my way before my gas runs out? Or will I miss my turn Again
14.
Chains 03:33
You’re my chains You bring me under the water Though my brain says stop I keep going My insecurities make me And i-d-i-o-t I know it’s charming to none And alarming to some But it only gets better When it can’t get worse It only gets better, better, better When it can’t get worse People’s floors, have become my new mattress I spend all my cash Making a fool of myself My insecurities make me An s-t-u-p-i-d I know it’s charming to none And alarming to some But it only gets better When it can’t get worse It only gets better, better, better When it can’t get worse I pray when I drive home 21 in a 25 zone This can’t last forever I have to get better But it only gets better When it can’t get worse It only gets better, better, better When it can’t get worse
