We're really not that sorry if this track offends you. Enjoy the album!

The Proper Human Existence (Part I) ERIK And in life, that just tends to get you down, because you have to make choice after choice after choice, and slowly you watch as your choices seem to start dwindling, and that scares you even more. So, as you have to make choices and sacrifices to get ahead and get to where you want to go in life, you usually tend to get fucked over as well. People you never thought would fuck you over tend to just fuck you over at the worst times, so you're making sacrifices and tough choices and all the while, you're getting fucked over. Not just by your friends, but by the government and stores and overpriced businesses, and there should be more free commerce in the world but there's not so you still get fucked over by everything and everyone that breathes or doesn't breathe. An inanimate object can fuck you over more times than you'll shag a girl. So all the while throughout your life as you do all this, you're also growing older and you're becoming more incapable of doing things. So you're getting older, you have to make tough choices, sacrifices you're not always willing to make, and you're getting fucked over, all the while growing older. That's why some people see life as too hard to go on, because, eventually, you grow tired of getting fucked over and having to sacrifice the things you love for the things that you need to do to get by, and you get tired of all the choices, because, how many doors could you possibly go through before… you hit the right one, and enough wrong doors'll make anybody grow mad and not want to open another fucking door. And getting older you realize you have less and less time, and you're moving more and more towards death, 'cause we've been dying since the very start of it. Since we came out we've watched as our hearts get broken over and over again and we continue, as always, to get fucked over. But then there's those who are born without having to make choices. Everything's paid for them. They don't get fucked over as much because, if you pay enough people, you're not gonna get fucked over. And then they don't have to sacrifice anything because they can afford to do everything. And it's that kind of world that we've always lived in; society has always favored the rich over the poor. That's never gonna change, and unfortunately it's an embedded fact in human nature, and we try to care, but in the end, we only look out for who's number one, and that's ourselves. And then our significant other can steal a fair comparison to our lives, unless love can form a true bond, in which, in that case you'll find yourself making a sacrifice of yourself for those you love. Eventually you'll find that you give everything and you so little ever actually get filled back up, to the point where you're empty. And now I'm just wondering, other facts about other things. When the truth of the matter is what I was originally talking about, growing old, getting fucked over, making choices and sacrifices, that's just the reality of it. It's nice to fantasize about a life where you don't need to make choices or sacrifice, when you really can have it all, live the American-- no, the Human Dream of ultimate success. You fantasize about that but the reality of it is, you're probably gonna die having only relaxed maybe 4 percent of your life, and spent the rest of the 94 either learning, doing, sacrificing, choosing, and growing old. Man has so little time on his hands to do the things that truly make him happy that most of us die without ever finding true happiness at all. We find ourselves not knowing true love, rather, a space that's required in society being filled by the shoes of a stranger. So true love is ever found offscreen nowadays, one might begin to wonder if it truly exists. I myself have found myself tangled in its nasty web a couple of times, having all of the scars tattooed on my shoulder. So many people will die without love. But how can anyone know love, knowing that there is so much hurt? How do you know happiness when you also know sadness? When we live in a world of subjective empathy and sympathy for others… Kinda, pick and choose our problems and usually if it doesn't happen in our own backyard, we don't really seem to give a shit. We don't give a single fuck. And in that case, we're indirectly fucking over other people in third world countries. So many people will die without anything in this world. They'll sacrifice everything, make all the wrong choices, get fucked over one too many times, and grow old and die. And that's the pity of it. DANNY Sometimes I wish I grew up across the sea Even if that's far away in time and space from you and me I wish I was A little European boy with nothing to worry about but what I'll be when I'm older maybe… maybe an astronaut… with time to dream, you never know. when the days last longer with sunshines of gold. ERIK So take the time out. Take the time out you need to find happiness. Take the time to actually live the life you've been dying for. See the coasts of the world, travel the seas, the land, everything you ever do, see everything you can, meet everybody and see exactly who they are. Take the time to know someone, not superficial. Shallow deep conversations to fill the space that time leaves in the awkward silences. Know them. Love them. Fill your life with love and take the time to actually live it for once. Only make the sacrifices that you absolutely have to, and always make sure you're willing to sacrifice those things. Don't make a choice to survive, make a choice to live and be happy. And as you grow old, don't grow up, just grow out. Grow more. Even flowers grow taller as they whither. They become more beautiful as they die. And try not to fuck anyone else over, and you'll find that the less you do that, the less you'll be fucked over. And in the end, you will live that life. You will relax. more than you work and you will find your happiness. Fill your life with love, happiness, and everything that you need, and you'll live The Proper Human Existence. The Proper Human Existence.

We start at a stop-light We've stopped scouting for bar fights. Put on your seatbelt and hold on tight We're in for another wild night We pass countless candid faces And, after countless marquee embraces, We abolish all the faded traces And with this heart my love erases I was hoping you'd stay I was hoping you'd stay

DANNY be forewarned I'm a psychopath with a crown of thorns and my foot on the gas i will take us to our graves and on the very day that I do they'll swear that they will always remember you for being the insensitive prick I always took the blame for the forest we rebuilt from the ashes your friends took the fame for is now a graveyard where my summer is buried in a perfectly doused campfire i already knew we were both bound to be liars intertwined in some mess you couldn't rip apart with pliers brothers bound in a messed up cycle on the beach our birds flew in the faces of the locals we earned scars drugs and burdens, and the name pollos locos in that pit we burned your big yellow sombrero and oh how naive to pretend we didn't know that in a little while we'd be on the beach in puerto rico singing an unsung tune to feed our souls wandering to the beat of the drums back home our intentions bad and just as stoned the rain soaked through my skin and touched my clothes we had no quarters for the phone tonight we'll walk the beach, together, alone and tomorrow we'll get up and roam and hope the bus will take us home We have no quarters for the bus either.

A Dozen At A Time (Part II) ERIK And I feel it tingling in my bones like a flower I will surely grow I will grow, I will spread my wings as the angel sings and carry me home and the butterfly will die a dozen at a time my soul will ascend to the sky and everything I've ever known will come with me through the gates of the unknown DANNY Come With Me. Sometimes I wish, Sometimes I wish, Sometimes I wish I grew up across the sea Well Sometimes I wish I grew up across the sea a million miles from everything that these people want me to be I wish I was a little European boy with no worries in the world no worries in the world ERIK And how do I feel so at home in a place I've never known Oh I'm having memories I don't want to forget People I've yet to meet and places I've never been So tragic is a fleeting life especially when I've never lived I've never lived Oh so the story goes pages burnt till the very end How do I feel so at home in a place I've never known? How do I feel so at home in a place I've never known?

HEY GUESS WHAT THE LYRICS DONT MATTER JUST LISTEN TO THE DAMN MUSIC

65 Million Years (Part III) ERIK Fragile and thin is the life that we live so you gotta live every single day until the very end, because that's when the real story begins. That's the story that we've never known. That's not a bedtime story that we're ever told. But this is not a sale that you can ever be sold, no this is more than just a body and a soul this is experience all those nights you spent delirious on the couch wondering is this really the rise of the south? no, no, that shit's history and the… the future you see is a mystery so… this is just a mystery because the words don't always spell out what we want them to say. the price isn't always the one that's so right to pay not everything seems perfect to me but these gates will be pearly. and tell me there's a piece of this world we, uh, we live in, and this is the beginning, this is not a Saint that is Sinning, This is not a story that's over. This is not a four leaf clover when you've got bad luck. This is not a savior in the midst of us. This is just… existence. This is just the proper human existence. DANNY They told me stories about mom and dad, when the commies ruled all the foreign lands and they were so fucking happy, living in their shields and never worrying about all the things that were real, and i wish I couldn't know about the days of old. I wish i never learned history. Because how amazing would be if we could just run around the world without ever knowing what was real and not realizing that they never taught us all these things that we see everything that we believe is wrong and maybe maybe out there somewhere theres a place that nobodies even heard about you can walk around and know that no person has ever ruined it by telling a story by injecting their ideas into that story and pumping that story into your blood and into your soul and into your stupid education and making that story what we call reality what is history to us anymore but things we see in stories and books and tv you ever connect to it? you ever stood in a place and wondered "how many fucking things have happened here? In 65 Million years? I didn't think I'd ever be so lucky to be here. This stupid spot that I stand in is the landing point for everything that ever happened here. For 65 Million years. Billion years. Trillion years." History doesn't matter anymore. Because who wrote it? We did. And look what else we're wrong about. If I erase it all I can be happy in a place where I'll see people running around phenomenally stunned to the ground they'll be executed with no sound of revolution it's coming now it's coming over the dam over the walls through the river through the falls through the mountaintops they'll scream, they'll scream their names they'll revolt in pleasure they'll regret the day that they ever lead the king this far away and we know that one day we'll be happy if we just give it up if we just burn it now one day we'll fucking be happy if we just give it up, if we just burn it to the ground.

DANNY This is all me, don't blame yourself. This is all me, don't blame anyone else. But please, spare me, spare me the grief of you. Oh, simply you. Simply you, simply you. Evan Simply you, it's just simply you. DANNY I wanted, I wanted to stay. And is it my fault that it's your fault? Well I could say that... EVAN But I can't say no more, no more than that. DANNY But I can't speak. I can't breathe. I can't sleep. And... that's on me. That's all me. That's on me. DEIRDRE To put it simply, I can't look into your eyes no more. It's just a different story You say you're sorry all the time, say you're sorry all the damn time... but I haven't heard it from anyone other than you, simply you. Oh, simply you. Haven't heard it from nobody other than you, simply you. And it hurts now, any day how, I think about you because I don't want to change my mind now I gotta stand my ground. But I can't stop lookin around and looking down, you tell me about your grief. You tell me how you're so sorry, you're sorry baby you don't know me like I thought you did before. Don't pity me, no pity, it's simply you. DANNY Simply me, with the most difficulty and I don't know where to go now, I'm stuck here. You're holding me. And I need someone to hold me... DEIRDRE Stuck in your sea of self pity well you ain't got me It's just simply you. DANNY Well it seems I'm at a chasm now A chasm that I can't get out of A chasm so wide that I don't know how I got here and I wanna run away, but it's surrounding me. and I realize that I'm there, but I'm still in your arms. Still in your arms. EVAN Still in your arms. There's nowhere, baby. There's nowhere... Simply you.

I Guess We'll Never Know (Part IV) You and I Pull each other out to sea come in and out of each others lives you pull me under the waves under the waves You and me are like the summer's breeze chasing relentlessly after things we can not see we still believe Will I ever get to see your face again? Promise me that honestly this is not the end? Because our love was just started, no, broken hearted, just began. I just wanna hold you so close. I feel it in my bones. I feel it in my bones. DANNY Sometimes I wish I was born across the sea I guess I'll never know. I guess I'll never know if I never ever try if I never get up, if I get on that flight booked the last one out, get me out of this place. let me run away. ERIK We'll fly, we'll fly to the sky. Look me in my eyes, I know you see me there if there's a place you know, you should save me there If a tree falls does it make a sound in this run down two star town? So scared I won't get out oh help me please get out of my head and I'm layin' in bed at 2AM just wishing I was dead if this is the apocalypse I swear it's the end of the world DANNY I guess I'll never know, blame it all on me, you'll never know if I've got the balls, if I have the hope, if I if I will go I guess I'll never know ERIK (CONT'D) Is this the end of the world? Because hearts mislead when you're sixteen. this is all that you'll ever be, because the future is something that you cannot see This is really the end? Is this really the end? Will I ever know? DANNY I guess we'll never know. Were we supposed to? I guess we'll never know. I guess we'll never know. But we're not supposed to! That's part of the show. That's part of the show. I guess we'll never know.

ERIK Did god abandon us, like some sick metaphor as we stand and watch in bewilderment Left us to fend for ourselves in skyscrapers of our own manmade wilderness Or maybe he just lost faith in us just as we lost in our selves we'll all pass on to the same heaven just as we all live in the same hell is a life lived without love really life or just a lie? i guess its safe to say i was never really ever alive Just slowly buying my time until the meter runs out and i fill it to the brim with my own self doubt it all started with a big bang so maybe thats how it'll end life always seem to fuck me over maybe death, will be my friend

Most of the lyrics in this song are lost in translation, we find the more you listen to it, the more it makes sense. Everyone takes away different stuff from the mess of lyrics and verses on top of each other. We were all screaming shit at once. Oh, and yes, this song IS entirely about Cannabis, and no, we don't give a shit if you're upset about it. every little thing is gonna be alright.
