To be expected

 

Verse 1

 

Hello this is the hacker

Who hacked your computer 

Just a while ago 

Please be more careful with passwords in the future

Just a friendly way of letting you know

 

Cuz I know all those

Piquant websites you visit

I've taken screenshots

And you know what I mean

Just send me some bitcoins

And all those explicit

Screenshots will just

Disappear with everything else I've never seen

 

Chorus

 

Why does this happen to me? 

My day just got a little worse 

But this mental sodomy

Must be reaching the bottom

Even if it seemed hopeless at first 

 

I've accepted this crap as life now 

And there's really nothing wrong with it

Whatever this nightmare'd be

I think it really scared me

But now I'm just going along with it

 

Verse 2

 

Hello this is your scary 

And confident "customer" 

I've got this dog that will sniff you apart

People say we are cops

Maybe just dumber

But personally I think I'm smart

 

And if you seem like 

you're a bit nervous

I'll put a drug charge 

against you, aight? 

You may not appreciate 

my customer service 

But my motto is 

"customer is always right"

 

Bridge

 

It's to be expected

It's just par for the course

Just buckle up and accept it

Sincerely yours

No need to reject it

This is just life, of course

 

Chorus

 

Why does this happen to me? 

My week just got a whole lot worse 

But this mental sodomy

Must be reaching the bottom

Even though it seemed hopeless at first 

 

I've accepted this crap as life now 

And there's really nothing wrong with it

Whatever this nightmare'd be

I think it really scared me

But now I'm just going along with it

Since there isn't a lyric section I'll just post the lyrics here to avoid cluttering up the musicians section. "Tomorrow's Ashes" was written this summer when I couldn't sleep because I was anxious about my first day at my summer job. It's a bit over-depressing and pretentious, but I like the song.

Tomorrow's Ashes

Verse 1

Standing in a pool
of spilt milk and tears
Feeling like a fool
who always hid behind your fears
You're an accident
that never happened
just what you meant
just made sense in Latin

Chorus

Tomorrow's ashes are today's flames
What you had will never be the same
Tomorrow's ashes are yesterday's tears
Cried for the past, but they will last throughout the years

Verse 2

Sitting in a room
Writing your diary
Feeling all the gloom
Your mind almost seems fiery
You kept a journal
of thoughts you felt you'd need
You were like a colonel
with no army to lead

Bridge

And all those fires
burning to the stick
it's enough to make you sick
and it's so painful
And all your desires
tearing you apart
breaking up your heart
It's why you feel shameful
Do you have something to guide you
to know why you're living for?
If those tears could soak the flames inside you
would you be crying even more?

I'm Not Well (but I'm Not Sick)

Verse 1

As you know I'm not a stranger
to that song by Harvey Danger
but I still don't know how to get it right
Am I going insane?
Will everything ever be the same?
I'll just sit on that pole with my flag waving white

Chorus

Is this a nightmare?
My own personal hell
If I'm not feeling right
can I really be well?

Sometimes I feel like
someone played me a terrible trick
Cuz I'm not well
but I'm not sick

Verse 2

I know that I'm not well
It's not that hard to tell
but exactly what is the matter?
If I could choose between a tortured state
and being insane and feeling great
I obviously would choose the latter

Bridge

Everyone is mentally ill these days
Everyone needs a pill these days
but it seems like someone forgot me
Everyone needs to chill these days
cuz everyone is mentally ill these days
but....not me

Nothing Left (to Hold on to)

 

Verse 1

Whatever happened to empathy and compassion?
Did thoughtfulness run out of fashion?
And I don't know if I'm all that smart
but I must've had a change of heart
I guess I'm a man now and I was just a boy then
but people hang on to the things that destroy them

Chorus

Then it just occured to me
what am I thinking?
Letting myself into that 
I must've been drinking
But letting it all pass
I should never have opened that door
and though I should I get a grip
there's nothing left to hold onto anymore

Verse 2

Whatever happened to rebellion and rage?
Were those just side effects of coming of age?
Maybe growing up is not that bad a lesson
Should that spirit be left in adolescence?
What if I want to hold on to that moment?
The past slowly fades away, don't it?

Verse 3

Whatever happened to being yourself?
Is that just a strain on your mental health?
a life of co-dependence sees
a future of subtle violent tendencies
And that sure ain't enough for the fountain of youth
And I'm tired of trying to tell you the truth

You might say

You might say that there's nothing between us
You might say that we don't know our worth
It could be true that I'm from Mars and you're from Venus
But then what the hell are we doing on earth?
If this path wasn't there for us
Why would we even have this song?
I haven't even gotten to the chorus
And you're here singing along

Cuz whatever this means
It's in all of my dreams
A future that's not concluded
It might not be the right way
And you might say
It's outside of anything that me or you did

You might say that we're not right for each other
You might say that the idea is way too wild
And you might look at me as more of a brother
But jokes on you I am an only child
So if we aren't right together
Can we go back to what it was?
It isn't really about if and whether
It's really about what the fuck it does

You might say that there's no sense in trying
You might say that's just how it is
But if I were late I promise I would fly in
It's an opportunity I wouldn't dare to miss

It's in spite of anything me or you did

Tracklist for now. 

1 Soothing Fall Day
2 Tomorrow's Ashes
3 I'm Not Well
4 Nothing Left (to hold onto)
5 To be Expected
6 It's a Boy
7 You Might Say
8 Depressing Winter Day

 

Something I've realized is that this thing is very polarized, the very good sounding tunes sound very good, but the not so good ones are very low fi. I'm not sure if those poles is a good thing. This thing is way too long to be an EP as well. So I guess it's more of a low fi demo album.

I've had this idea for a song called "It's a Boy", but I didnt really know what to do with it, I  guess I tried to reference a lot of famous songs in it.

 

 It's a Boy

It's to be expected now we're expecting
We gotta buy nursery paint and toys
Just think of all we're projecting
When we say "It's a boy"

Verse 1

They say it's a boy
who's gonna fill our hearts with joy
And we can't wait to teach him
We can't wait to cuddle him too
Buy him guns and action figures
trucks and cars and superheroes
And of course we're gonna paint his bedroom blue

Chorus

It's a boy
Soon he'll be a little guy
It's a boy
He's the apple of our eye
It's a boy
He didn't fall far from the tree
It's a boy
He's a little bit of you and me

Verse 2

He's a boy
but acting so shy and coy
He seems like a Sunday morning
and we can't tell why
He strides around in his diapers
Looking so tense and hyper
Don't you know that boys don't cry?

Chorus

It's a boy
he's our only one
It's a boy
Our little Don Juan
It's a boy
A miracle of the world
It's a boy
You better hide all your girls

Bridge

And one day he'll be a man
Then he'll figure it out
And he'll finally understand
And he won't be so loud
Cause he's the only one who can
make his mom and dad so proud

Chorus

It's a boy
to be expected
It's a boy
always stands up erected
It's a boy
just how a wee lad should be
It's a boy
A little bit of you and me

He's a boy
Wears a suit and tie

Nope. I have just seen the drawings and pictures of people with Wiggy comics, but I've never read a strip. 

You are the Wiggy of the pop punk music world, nothing you do is traditional or a copy of anything else out there and I fucking love it!
