about

1. ITS ABOUT TIME
(When we first decided to write music again, this was literally the first song we wrote at the first rehearsal. The song is about us coming together as a team to do what we do best)

It's been a long time since I've closed my eyes
Lost myself in music, shed myself of bad times
but that changes, yeah that changes today

ITS ABOUT TIME THAT YOU STOPPED CRYING
YOU CAN GET WHAT YOU WANT IF YOU JUST TRY TODAY

It's been a decade since we've played this way
Regret things we've said, regret things we did
but that's all gone, yeah that's all gone away

I'm not saying that it's easy
No one said that hard work is fun
Now what we do sometimes seems cheesy or sleazy
but we'll miss it all when all's said & done
(If we could just start today)

2. THE HATER
(Don't stand in the back of a show and talk shit about your friends band. Seriously, just stay the fuck home)

I can't stand your jealous whining
I've been watching you & you ain't been trying
Our friends succeed & I get excited
You wonder why you weren't invited
Caps lock means that you're trying to scream
all those words on your computer screen
I think that I know what they really mean
You're all "Why all them & why not me?"

ALWAYS THE HATER & NEVER THE PARTICIPATOR
SITTING AT HOME, THE OPINIONATED NAYSAYER
WHY WOULD YOU BOTHER IF YOU KNOW YOU'LL NEVER HELP
BECAUSE THEY REALLY JUST HATE THEMSELVES

"Why wont they buy my record? Why don't they like my band?
I must just be a genius, that they don't yet understand"
You'll get your shot if you put in the work
but the things that you say make you sound like a jerk
You think that everyone sucks, only you know best.
You sound like a schmuck (OY!)
Get your attitude in check (VEY!)
