lyrics

It’s been two weeks since the party but I’m just cleaning up. The empties are all moldy, I don’t give a fuck. They say I got no passion but they don’t see me here, getting stupid with my friends and spilling tons of beer. I’ll miss you most of all when I’m gone. This is a love letter to my basement. This is a song for all my friends. When we all have kids and mortgages, it’ll never be the same again. It’s been two weeks since the party. I’m just sobering up. If I believe in anything, I believe in fun. I’d be bummed if I wasn’t so stoked. I’m so grateful I could cry. I used to wonder why I’m alive but now I totally know why. I’ll miss you most of all. I’ll miss these concrete walls. I’ll miss this disgusting moldy carpet where all our beers would fall. I’d miss my ringing ears if they’d ever go away. I’ll be damned if I hold these thoughts in and miss my chance to say…I love you guys.

It’s the sound of three punk rock lifers fueled by the infectious joy of making dumb music with good friends, still stoked after all these years. ... more
