lyrics

We don't talk to the barstaff and it bothers me.
We're all stood here, staring at the industry, suckling from the same economy.
And all this trouble means everyone pulls doubles
But the pay never seems to reflect that.

Dope! It's all just grinding to me. Hack endlessly.
If yr playing for the story, this is just the stage where you get stuck.
You say yr gonna level up, but yr always to tired to look.
And y'know that line..
"he would lie to protect you"

Everyone's a cynic, everyone's a cynic around me.
Everyone's a cynic in need.

The three stages of murdering a memory.
Got the hurt, the honesty and the hip-hypocrisy.
That sounds like Craig Finn to me.
Well maybe I could lift her, I know I'd never p ■■■■■■
((LYRIC ABANDONED))
In-jokes falling flat on the stage. Release balloons from the beams.
Monologue potential, encore with yr teenage dreams,
You say yr gonna write out yr life, but yr always to tired to type
And y'know that line..
"he would like to forget you"

Everyone's a cynic, everyone's a cynic around me.
Everyone's a cynic in need.

Be a gap in the crowds
Be a plot in the ground
Be a break in the clouds
Be lost and get found

Late december when you call I try to bury you, for the lost boys to find
Late december when you call I try to bury you. For a break in the clouds
Late december when my friends and I don't got a plan.

Manhattan Projects

this little acoustic JF gem is touching, raw-- the focus here is on pure emotion, like fear and shame and anxiety, as opposed to presentation...which is not to say that this collection doesn't sound just as great as their louder, more polished stuff...it's just a different sort of amazing alex, no.

"deadheaders international" is one of the few tunes that i feel really just captures my generation, and the people that i used to know and share love with.. Yr Friends is tender and serious but also full of love. alexei's lyrics and voice are excellent reflectors of youthful ambition, arrogance, love, and growth. alex, no.
