thongrider Posted November 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 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 To be expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thongrider Posted November 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thongrider Posted November 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thongrider Posted November 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thongrider Posted November 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thongrider Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 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.

thongrider Posted November 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
