    "First World Problems' six songs are youthful, slightly snotty and melodic, capturing the stage in any young band's career arc where there's nothing else they'd rather be doing and nothing hinting at real-world impediments that could stop the pursuit of living life from one gig to the next. That feeling is a big part of what makes punk rock so appealing in the first place and it's nice to see younger bands carrying it on." (Ben Conoley - Exclaim! Magazine)

This is all that I've been going through, while trying to pay the rent, We could hit the road, we could try again And it's so fucked up, It was one bad show, now we'll never know you gotta take the van to make it, you gotta let it be your life you gotta play a show to two people with disapproving eyes cause thats just how it goes, and we've been there before At our last show on the road, he said "You fuck with me, you fuck with all of my friends" all we did was play a show with your shitty hardcore band, and you said You'll kick my ass, but I've got paper and pen and they'll play this song in riverside in the end One awfully stupid night, is not enough to bail, to bail You've always gotta try because you're never gonna succeed that easily, We may never make it, but we'll play this every night to remind us why we take the time to have it in our lives 'cause nights like that are worth it, in exchange for nights like this At our first show on the road, we'll say tonight tonight, I will show you my friends we'll never give up, we will never give in this is all that I've been going through, and I still can't pay the rent, but we'll hit the road, we'll always try again

the ship has sailed again, I walked the plank a hundred times, but I never sank the ship has sailed again, I walked the plank a hundred times, but never sank I never sank It crosses my mind like a crucifix, a symbol of unending guilt and everyone's tricked I'm reminded of times when I took out my anger on those who were close to the gallows in my head again maybe my friends will always believe in the laws of the sea but those laws don't mean shit to me 'cause the sea is always changing and I will keep chasing the fog lights line the coast like a constellation a signal to fight back the night but the lights on the coast, are always changing I'm seeing ghosts of my favorite people they act like they're still alive but the ghosts in my head, are already dead maybe my friends will always believe in the laws of the sea but those laws don't mean shit to me the ship has sailed again, I walked the plank a hundred times, but I never sank the ship has sailed again, I walked the plank a hundred times, but never sank I never sank

Take the road and I will follow, Nevermind the sky that's falling overhead, 'Cause I've got restless eyes and a reckless heart to match You've got everything you want, but you don't know where it is If you've got everything you need, then why aren't you smiling? I've got restless eyes Why do your eyes scream love, but you say you're leaving?' I've got restless eyes You say that I don't belong, and neither do you Truth be told, I think tomorrow but I know today's not over yet And I know it's been a while, but I just can't forget You've got everything you want, but you don't know where it is If you've got everything you need, then smile for me please I've got restless eyes Why do your eyes scream love, but you say you're leaving?' I've got restless eyes You say that I don't belong, and neither do you Tell me, why do you your eyes scream love?

I bet you, think it's cool To go out to the bar now, drive drunk as fuck and pass out at someone else's place, I bet you think it's really safe to fuck without a condom and snort coke 'till your brain check's out. You put the waste in wasted.

What if I was stronger than this? would I be able to lift all your burdens with my little wrists? you see it's been far too long, since you ran away and you said you left, but you never boarded that train, you just want to believe in all of the fairy tales, that you were told when you were young, they said when you got old you'd break every heart that you crossed but they never knew you'd come across me If I'm always right, then I'm probably right about this, but I've been wrong before I don't think before I speak, I just open my mouth and words come out and sometimes they're rude sometimes they're sweet, you know what I mean? you know, you know, you know, you know? I don't think before I breathe, I just open my mouth and air comes out and I don't understand how you wound up with me, you know what I mean? you know, you know, you know, you know? you see it's been far too long and I feel the same, and I know you left, but you never boarded that train, 'cause you cant believe in all of the fairy tales, you aren't old, but you aren't that young, I think that you believed you'd break every heart that you crossed, but you never thought, you'd come across me, If I'm always right, then I'm probably right about this, but I've been wrong before I don't think before I speak, I just open my mouth and words come out and sometimes they're rude sometimes they're sweet, you know what I mean? you know, you know, you know, you know? I don't think before I breathe, I just open my mouth and air comes out and I don't understand how you wound up with me, you know what I mean? you know, you know, you know, you know? I am smarter than this

Hanging 02:42
Getting lost in the summer, I hung like the sun in the sky but I stayed up with the moon, but there's always something that keeps me in tune with the fact it'll all be over soon the time, that i've been wasting I'm never wasting my time with you if this isn't real then you can't tell me it's all been a dream 'cause I will never wake up, take the fall, the winter and spring but I won't let the summer go just yet we all know by now I'd rather be hot but you can't appreciate, what you haven't got so get lost in the summer and hang like the sun in the sky, and stay up with the moon and don't let that something that takes the fun from your eyes catch up with you too soon the time that we are wasting we're never wasting our time with you if this isn't real then you cant tell me it's all been a dream, 'cause I will never wake up take the fall, the winter an spring but i, wont let the summer go just yet.
