Em Piasecki I got to hear this song performed live at a house show, and it was wonderful. It's been awhile since I've heard something live and immediately knew that I would purchase it as soon as I got home. Favorite track: High Expectations.

You look so good maybe you should see what you look like next to me we don't have to start a family tree I just think you'd look good sitting next to me cause baby it's such simplicity like 1 2 3 you next to me you know it is such simplicity like 1 2 3 you next to me and you don't know how long i've been waiting for a girl like you i've been saying need a girl like you I've been saying need a girl like you i've been stating you're a rock n roll girl and that's why i like you i hope that you dig me too it should be obvious what is true you should know by now what I want to do chorus refrain I know what you want when you walk up to me and we star coversating I can see in your eyes what you're contemplating and you don't know how long I've been waiting

Hermiting 04:19
Feeling Like I have nowhere to go looking out my window watching all of the falling snow thinking how lately i've been too lazy What's the outside world like How do you do? What has happened lately I haven't watched the news The world around me can be so hard and so strange But I stay inside my head Where I have no reasons to complain When there's nothing to do I try to put my time to good use when there's no one around I stay inside and I play with sounds What's the outside world like how do you do What has happened lately I have not watched the news Sometimes I get tired of everything Maybe I'll show myself again in the spring time.

Enlighten Me 05:11
I wish I could be full of energy so happy with life I wish I I wish I could see Everything Magically The way it's supposed be instead Of how it translates in my head For just one second I wish things would make sense I wish I could see See what I'm supposed to be An asset to society I wish I could see see what I'm supposed to be Would you enlighten me? I wish I could see everything's going to be okay Everyone will get employed So our lives again can be enjoyed I wish that we could kill all of our enemies All of our troops deployed So the world won't be destroyed Yes we should let them drop the bombs i've learned to love the bombs, we all should love the bombs they broadcasted it live they dropped and made such pretty lights I hope the children see What they need to be And help this society I hope that we can kill Until we find peace In the name of the free (I want to be like everyone)

I need a higher par of marijuana cigar To smoke in my car and drive to the stars My tolerance is high and I am not So I'm scraping all the crystals off my pot She was beautiful She was a poet queen The girl of my dreams She had me enchanted but I took her for granted After getting used to the love I need I left her in a haze after a couple of days It was far too late, It couldn't be saved It wasn't until then I saw how lucky I was I blew it because When you get used to beauty even when it's so consuming after a while it just don't feel the same anymore that's why CHORUS Expectations are hard to live up to if we place them too high You gotta stay steady in the ebb and flow of life or you might get washed up in the tide. Maybe someday I will find my balance and finally feel satisfied. Chorus Then I know I'd have it made then I'd think my life is great I would be happy every single day For now I need a higher par of marijuana cigar to smoke in my car

Goodbye 01:46
Some of my best memories were made with you I cherish those moments but what can I do I've written you letters I've written you songs but I guess that I've been doing it all wrong So Goodbye I wanted to spend time with you and get high you couldn't get past me so you told me the truth you are my everything or my dreams I'm sorry, you're mistaken, my valentine queen I bet I've told you a million times but when it comes to perceiving me you're dumb, deaf and blind So Goodbye
