New Healthy Diet

I am dusting off the last couple of years with you.
I want so badly to scrub away that distant face and those mood swings.
One day, we'll cover them up with new old memories.
I am dusting off the last couple of years with you.
I am washing away the dirt on this old car.
The phone rings - I know, I'm about to be guilted by her.
Please, begin to free me from these frustrations forever.
I am washing away the dirt on this old car.
I am picking up the crap in my basement.
Please be the sponge of my embarrassing adolescence.
Girl, I know it stinks down here, but I gotta little incense.
I am picking up the crap in my basement.
I am dusting off the last couple of years with you.
I've taken up a new healthy diet along with a sorely-missed happy mindset
and have thrown away that greasy shit of yesteryear.
I can't help but writing love songs or contemplations thought out wrong
something in-between is what I've got here.

Micheal Cera

Not so long ago, in the mysterious land of Toronto, Canada
Nobody wants a relationship or loving
all they really wanna do is hold your hand.
I think I'm over my ex-girlfriend
I found another looking for a band
I wanna be Micheal Cera
Why'd you have to have that asshole over?
I deserve to know, I'm your son.
I thought there were laws against illicit cohabitation.
What're you gonna do, shoot me with your gun?
I wanna be Micheal Cera
I've gotta life, I'm gonna save the princess,
beat Nega Ninja, and claim the high score.
1 up!
Where the hell is McLovin?
Wasn't he supposed to bring the booze?
I think we'll split up after high school
I'm not embarrassed to say "I love you, dude."
I wanna be Micheal Cera
1 up!

Slow Traffic

Understand silent terror
dry ice is the shell of a boy.
Don't care bout girls or their countless attempts to get inside my head.
Shut up - all your stupid bitchy problems aren't yours, they're your friends'.
Strange morning afters. Still, come to my bed.
God damn, it blows how we're just friends.
We've been partners for a long ride, flirting for a long time
I think we're better off friends.
And these parties? I think we only like them because we regress to the state of pigs.
"Get on your flannel and your skinny jeans, we'll be hipsters!"
Fuck those kids.
My mom says I count as "slow traffic" -
is that a metaphor for something?
I just don't care anymore.
