"Hey you fuck I get it, you wanna go so fast
But does that really mean that you have to ride my ass?
I’ll put my foot down and I’ll go fucking slow
you’re messing with my drive yeah you should’ve just stayed home
I bet you text and drive and I bet you really suck
Why do you feel the need to drive like such a fuck?
Just get on a bike and ride it down a hill
If you wanna go so fast you’re a square like Jonah hill"

I’ll buy you sneakers Or some cool rocks
We can paint them together, Door’s unlocked
You could write my book or edit my script
We could run at cars and give ‘em lip
We could go somewhere where we don’t need eyes
We could flip a coin and jump in time
We could throw a party with a little surprise
We could make a project like we did in school
We could buy sunglasses and make things with tools
We could buy milk from the milk store
We could start a band and go on tour
You’ll be chill and I’ll be cool
lets get tan and swim in pools

After the recording of this track, Norf was kicked out of the Fugger Family and they moved to Scandinavia to record 90s-style skramz.
"Stripes like Charlie Brown I feel guilty all the time
I’m like a blender that won’t blend and I can feel the fruit inside
Or like I’m on a rollercoaster and I’m not tall enough to ride
A piece of toast that won’t toast enough and they’ll throw me out to die
I got caught listening to Philly bedroom pop again
I climbed the stairs, I wasn’t there
Can’t tell if it’s enough to send
I wrote some songs they played along
As transmissions in the sea
I thought my dog she didn’t like me
but she’s just a little shy
Stripes like I’m a zebra and I can’t tell myself apart
I’m so good at closing off it’s kind of like an art
I still like crappy hardcore bands, I wish I had better taste
I should eat my leftovers, it’d be one less thing to waste"

"Abandoned subterranean networks
Home to a host of evil spirits"

"My bed feels bigger with you in it
cause there’s more places I can’t go
I thought you played steely dan cause you knew I liked them
I sleep somewhere that would fit a child better
You wanna be the turntable to my nu metal band?
Or the noise rig in my hardcore project?
Maybe we could start an indie duo
And write songs about the country
I got older and started making lists
All my sister’s friends think you’re dope as shit
I try to dwell less now but I still live in a cave
I write vulnerable songs because I’m an adult"
