Yeah, I get it

I'm a loser and I know it
All the evidence points to it
Thirty-something and nothing to show for it
I'm a loser and I know it
I'm a loser and I know it, but so what
I'm a loser and I know it, but I don't give a fuck
It's their world now, they can have it, and I'll keep mine
It's their world now, they can have it, and I'll be alright
How can you'll be so sure?
I don't want to waste it, but I don't want to save it

Register
03:49
|

|
I'm on my hands and knees
I'm begging pretty please
won't you let me work your register?
I think I've done my time
I swear I'll toe the line
won't you let me work your register?
Things are out of hand
I just don't understand?
Aren't we talking about a register?
You've dragged me through the mud
Now I think I've had enough
No longer want to work your register

Inevitability
02:36
|
|||
|
I don't want to stay here, but I don't want to leave
every move comes up empty, a self-made man looks bleak
I don't want to leave you, but there's inevitability
you are usually good for me, you're the sweetest thing
Please excuse my rambling, I'm getting on in years
I still don't have an audience, I still am riddled with fears
Sure I can make you happy, but is that all you'll need?
Don't dismiss the nothingness, it is our luxury

Abruptly
01:50

I've tried my hand at love
through many a move
through many a song
through many a tune
but nothing seems to stick
it always slips away
and I don't want to go
but I don't want to stay
well if you're not about to die
then I guess you've got to live
you've got to do your best
you've got to try and give
no matter what the cost
no matter what the stakes
the tables might turn
the threshold might break
well that's it for this song
It'll just abruptly end
like how you leave this life
like how it begins......

It'll be alright

It'll be alright babe
It'll be alright girl
just a choice we had to make
when we moved across the world
It'll be alright babe, it'll be alright girl
No one's gonna die
I don't love you less
either way I chose
was gonna cause you stress
It'll be alright babe
you're a beautiful girl

Tired
03:51
|
|||
|
Coming home wasn't as hard to do as leaving you
as losing my mind
as hustling for food
but I'm tired of these Portland boys and Portland girls
and the way they act and the questions they ask
and how they look and the things they say
and I don't want to go, but how much longer can I stay?
Letting go is proving hard to do
it's all that I've done
it's all that I know
all that I have to show
but I'm tired of these nowhere jobs and nowhere shows
how I have to act and the questions I'm asked
and how they look and the things they say
and I don't want to stop, but how much longer can I play?

Probably not
02:13
|
|||
|
I throw my hands up in the air
in hopes that somebody will catch them?
I spill my guts out everywhere, maybe someone will collect them?
Probably not
I'll play the percentages
Don't underestimate my pain
Don't underestimate pain

I'm gonna die
02:51
|
|||
|
I'm gonna die, and it's not funny
I'm gonna die, without any children or money
I'm gonna die honey, and you'll find someone new to fancy
I'm not a fool darlin', I can already tell you're getting antsy
I just want someone I love
(to be) there when the white light comes from above
oh no my feet are getting cold
is there a hand to hold?
I'm gonna die, look it's not funny
I'm gonna die, and the hospital will get all the money
I'm gonna die honey, was there something that you wanted to tell me?
That's up to you darlin', but I've never found them necessary
