Analysis Paralysis (Acoustic Version) 03:34
lyrics

1, 2, Ready? Go! The driving motivation from when you first wake up is not the same motivation from when you doze off And I've been trying to run away from all of my fears but my left leg's completely asleep, and I'm completely in tears because if I smoked weed for every time I've been happy in the past week or so I'd still be the straight edge man you've learned to know and I've been thinking about this idea where every one is dead and I'm just imagining you all in my weirdly shaped head and if for some odd reason that thought were actually true then the God upstairs would have some explaining to do but it's probably not true and I just need some sleep but how can you sleep when all your thoughts are thought like me? and I've been thinking of better words to speak out of my mouth in the shower with hot water starting north and heading south I've come to realize that when I actually talk to you I say the ugly truth and that's just not something I should do because if I smoked weed for every time I've been happy in the past week or so I'd still be the straight edge man you've learned to know

lyrics
buy track
I'm running away from all responsibility I'm goin back to the days, i'm goin back to the days I know so many people, got over 200 facebook friends and I don't think that I would mind if I never saw any of them again I'm going back to the days that nothing really mattered I'm going back to the days where I would choose the latter of going outside and doing something productive and staying in bed, and not caring about anything I guess I never really thought... I guess I never really thought... I guess I never really thought... I guess I never really thought at all I'm going back to the days that nothing really mattered I'm going back to the days where I would choose the latter of going outside and doing something productive and staying in bed, and not caring about anything

The Burning Bush (Acoustic Version) 05:13
lyrics

I put a copy of Stuart Little 2 in my DVD player turned off all the lights in my room and I got super high then I thought about all the people in my life and how I wish I never had to say goodbye but it all brushed through my head because I was super high all of the moments and the memories we shared I have forgotten because I do not really care and all of the people that were important in my life they're now dead, like my friends, my cat, and my ex-wife and all of the folks, well I forgot what they said because there's smoke all around me and my eyes are bloodshot red to be or not to be? I think that was said by Bill Murray or someone, I can't remember a thing but it doesn't matter, because I believe that I am truly nothing and I've spent all my money on these drugs that I don't even have enough to buy a gun is this it? maybe when I perish I'll truly be someone all of the moments and the memories we shared I have forgotten because I do not really care and all of the people that were important in my life they're now dead, like my friends, my cat, and my ex-wife and all of the folks, well I forgot what they said because there's smoke all around me and my eyes are bloodshot red

follow my footsteps everyday follow my footsteps every way whether you think it's right to do or say just follow my footsteps everyday somewhere between my body and the wall there is something strange it's like a ghost it's unseen and obscene and it's calling my name maybe there is something wrong with my brain I can't explain you followed my footsteps everyday you followed my footsteps every way whether you thought it was right to do or say you followed my footsteps every day somewhere between my body and the wall there is something strange it's like a ghost it's unseen and obscene and it's calling my name maybe there is something wrong with my brain I can't explain
