PBR U There, God?

I've been digging holes again
And I'm not gonna stop 'til there's no way to climb out
And I've been chewing rocks again
And I'm not gonna stop 'til there's no teeth left in my mouth
I've been playing stupid games again
And I'm not gonna stop 'til I get my stupid prize
And I've been staring at the sun again
And I'm not gonna stop 'til it melts out both my eyes
And I know
I don't always make the wisest choices
Like George Jones
In the Spring of '99

Today's a piece of shit
'Cause it's the same as yesterday
And the one before that
I guess that Sunday was okay
And yeah sure whatever
I know I shouldn't complain
That it takes all of my strength
Just to stay awake
But while I lay alone
On my side of the bed
Her new lover plants a kiss on her forehead
When you called the other day
You asked if I was okay
I said "as a matter of fact I'm thriving"
And I went right back to sleep
I know that it ain't right
To get twisted every night
But if that's what it takes to get
Back to sleep
You can't fail if you don't try
So I just close my eyes
Now I lay myself down and go
Back to sleep
Disillusioned, disaffected
I don't need anybody anyway
I don't need anybody anyway
Back to sleep
Pressing snooze on my alarm clock
I'll be better when I wake up
I don't ever wanna wake up
Back to sleep

Fast Life
03:14

I'm not living the fast life
It's just sometimes it moves too fast
And I find myself unable
To keep up
Where the hell did all my days go?
This year, last year and the year before it?
I just need a little more time
I just need everything to
Slow down, slow down, slow-oh-oh down (x3)
Slow down
It's not that I'm forgetful
Okay I am forgetful
But that don't mean
That I don't care, and I'll always be right here
I don't mean to always be late
I don't mean to never be
On time
I still need everything to
Slow down, slow down, slow-oh-oh down (x3)
Slow down
I'm not living the fast life
It's just sometimes it moves too fast
And I find myself unable
To keep up
Where the hell did all my days go?
This year, last year and the year before it?
I just need a little more time
I just need everything to
Slow down, slow down, slow-oh-oh down (x3)
Slow down
Slow down, slow down, slow-oh-oh down (x3)
Slow down

Validate Me
02:53
|

I'm not sure if I can't find the words or if I'm just too scared to look
And I don't wanna say what you don't wanna hear
I've been trying my best to be an optimist
But I can't help thinking that we should both be more realistic
I don't know why you're keeping me around
'Cause I haven't brought a smile to your face in so very long
I try to just be good enough, maybe one day you'll see
Yeah maybe we'll get better, I just need you to validate me
It's 12:45 and I guess I'll go drive 'cause I sure as hell can't fall asleep
I'll hop in this car and count every damn star 'til it feels a little easier to breathe
I'll tell myself everything I wish you would say, suspend my belief for a bit
Yeah I can't help but feel like I've hit this dead end, but why's it so hard to admit?
I don't know why you're keeping me around
'Cause I haven't brought a smile to your face in so very long
When sadness turns to apathy I know there's no turning back
But maybe this is better, maybe this is better
'Cause I don't know why I even stay around
'Cause you haven't brought a smile to my face in so very long
I'll tell myself I'm good enough 'til I finally believe
That maybe this is better, maybe this is better

Never Knows Best
03:33

Maybe I'm not that smart
Maybe I'm not all that kind
Maybe I'm not the things I was
Told I was when I was younger
No one says those
things about me now
Not that I'd ever hold it against them
I'm a grown man, I don't need validation
Not that I'd ever hold it against them
I'm a grown man, I don't need validation
Or at least
That's what they tell me
Maybe I'll quit my day job
Maybe I'll get a new tattoo
On my forehead that says "idiot"
For doing all the things that I do
Not that I'd ever hold it against me
I'm my best friend so I'll always forgive me
Not that I'd ever hold it against me
I'm my best friend so I'll always forgive me
Or at least
That's what I tell me
I've made my bed now I'll lay in it(x8)
(Unison) I'll drive this car 'til the wheels fall off

It's hard for me to be sincere
Without the help of 9 or 10 beers
So I hope slurred words don't fall upon
Deaf ears
When everything is said and done
Grateful that I'm not alone
When I'm with you I fell like I'm
At home
And I don't know
Any better way to say that I love you and
I wouldn't mind
If you never said it back
I will try
my best to keep learning and growing
but I wouldn't mind
If you never said it back
I know it's been a hell of a year
Still there's no place I'd rather be than here
And I hope to God that I have made
That clear
I'm not afraid to die, just to go alone
Still I hope that day don't come too soon
If Peter calls, tell him I got a
New phone
I don't know
Any better way to say that I love you and
I wouldn't mind
If you never said it back
I will try
my best to keep learning and growing
but I wouldn't mind
If you never said it back
(Group Vocals)
I don't know
Any better way to say that I love you and
I wouldn't mind
If you never said it back
