The Parking Lot Kids

We can't stay here forever
We'll lose our minds together
And we won't be having fun
It'll feel like we're the only one
September of 2020
Some of us moved across the country
All to move to the same city
All under the same guarentee
That all these brand new memories
Will replace all your old memories
So don't forget these new faces
You will grow from these experiences
But then something unpredicted
The over use of the word unprecidented
Now we're all trapped in our own rooms
Four walls resembling our own tomb
But don't forget these memories, don't forget
These memories will replace all your other memories
And it all will happen
From the comfort of your very own room, well
We can't be here forever
We'll lose our minds together
And we won't be having fun
It'll feel like we're the only ones
We can't be here forever
We can be here however
Just as long as we're having fun
And we're not hurting anyone
Well just last year
We were all living in fear
About how we can't get caught with eachother
They'll tell on us to our mothers
So last year
We all gathered around here
To pretend it was a year just like any other
So finish your drink and grab another
The fear of survival
The fear of survival keeps us going, and going
Until we end up dead
We'll wake up the next morning with a slight pain in our head
We don't have a bible
We don't need a bible to keep us going, and going
Until we end up dead
We'll wake up the next morning with a slight pain in our head
We are the parking lot kids
Of course we give a shit
And even if we didn't, we wouldn't last long
We'd barely even make it to the end of this song
We are the parking lot kids
We made a habit
Of coming to this spot with our masks on
As long as we're together we hope we form a bond
This won't last forever
This can last however
Just as long as we're having fun
And we're not hurting anyone
I can't be here forever
I don't want to be here forever
I just want to have some fun
At the expense of everyone
The fear of survival
The fear of survival keeps us going, and going
Until we end up dead
We'll wake up the next morning with a slight pain in our head
We don't have a bible
We don't need a bible to keep us going, and going
Until we end up dead
We'll wake up the next morning with a slight pain in our head
We hope we remember next morning
We hope we remember next morning

Halloween or Something
07:48
|
|||
It was Halloween or something
We were trapped on the island
Thought there was a bus that could take us off
But I guess we were just a little naive
A haunted maze or something
People jumping and scaring
But when we got lost we all froze up
There was no way back into the city
Halloween or something we went
To the parking garage
What a classic place to be
On this classic holiday to have a party
Step one is to have some fun
Step two is to drink until you can't anymore
Then you'll sit down on the floor
Try to pound down a couple more
Find someone that you want to kiss
Stand close to them and ask them questions like this
Where are you from? Is it better than here?
Oh I bet it doesn't even compare
Because in a covid city we all got the same agenda
Just drink 'till you can't even stand up
I know it doesn't seem like a lot to do
But it sure is a hell lot more than what we're used to
It's our first holiday away from our parents
So we all had the general consensus
To do something that we'll never forget
You gotta love the irony in that statement
And we'll try to remember this night
For as long as we can
And the cops, they swiftly came
As soon as they got the call
There's graffiti on the wall of the parking lot
And who would've thought
That it would be the kids that were running away
As quickly as they came
Beer cans crushed on the floor
Red wine, cigarettes, and more
Split up in pairs
Go down the stairs
And we'll meet each other there
We'll meet each other where?
Well there's a park that's just across the block
It's about a ten or fifteen minute walk
Oh God Dennis and Jackson stayed
Oh good they're taking the blame
(They're getting away)
(You can't catch me)
(Somebody stop them)
(Go go go go go go go)
(They went that way)
(You can't run forever)
(Ya? Watch me)
We'll try to remember this night
For as long as we can
But if we wake up in the middle of the morning
And don't know a single thing
Then I guess it never happened
If we wake up in the middle of the afternoon
And can't recall a single thing
Then I guess it never happened
The light that shines above this city
Oh god, look up, doesn't it look pretty?
I swear I scared my family
Because now they think they will never see me
But am I really the one to blame?
The atmosphere here just isn't the same
In a covid city we all got the same agenda
Just drink 'till you can't even stand up
If I wake up in the middle of the morning
And don't know a single thing
Then I guess it never happened
If I wake up in the middle of the afternoon
And can't recall a single thing
Then I guess it never happened
And if they ask us
There were none of us there
There were none of us there
There were none of us there
Oh god I wish there were none of us there
None of us there
There were none of us there
There were none of us there
Oh god I wish there were none of us there
I swear it's always so much better the first time
Going to a party that doesn't cost a dime
Go there enough and pretty soon you'll find
You're the only one having a bad time
You think your friends really care if you die
The ones that you met, ya, just last night?
If there were none of us there
There'd be none of us there
Oh god I wish there were none us there
None of us there
I wish none of us were there
That would make this whole thing easier
If there were none of us there
Ok, ok, we'll do this one last time
Step one is to have some fun
Step two is to drink until you can't anymore
Then you'll sit down on the floor
Try to pound down a couple more
Find someone that you want to kiss
Stand close to them and ask them questions like this
Where are you from? Is it better than here?
Oh I bet it doesn't even compare
Because in a covid city we all got the same agenda
Just drink 'till you can't even stand up
I know it doesn't seem like a lot to do
But it sure is a hell lot more than what we're used to

Big Beautiful Dance
04:39
|

Don't waste my time
Take me out to dinner
I'll bring you back to mine
And you'll see me much thinner
I am afraid to dance
That's the only thing I haven't done yet
You aren't afraid to dance
Love is what you wanna forget
Don't help me
I am not the one who needs helping
Before you check mine
Maybe you should check yours
Because there's only one of us
Who's not so sure
Don't save me
I am not the one who needs saving
You came into my mind
As fast as you could
And you stayed there
Probably longer than you should
Do you remember that holiday
When we went down to the beach to stay
For a little while but you had to ask me
Hey what do you think about PDA? Because
You held my hand so tightly to yours
But you didn't even have the courage to say
Don't get used to the feeling
It's gonna make this next card so much harder to play
Don't waste my time
Take me out to dinner
I'll bring you back to mine
And you'll see me much thinner
I'm not afraid to dance
If that's all we have left
You are afraid to dance
Because that's all we have left
I'm not afraid to dance
Because that's all we have left
You are afraid to dance
You know that's all we have left
(It's love)

Love, bullshit
Love, bullshit
It's love

It's love

(I don't have peace of mind)
(I don't have peace of mind)
(You can not take away my belief)
(I don't have peace of mind)
(I don't have peace of mind)
So I guess this is my home now
Because I just like being alone now
And I always hated it how in my mind I just stood out in a crowd
And the voices that are telling me to shut up are over powering the people so loud
I guess this is looking like home now
Because I like being alone now
I guess I'll see you when the world
I guess I'll see you when the world
I guess I'll see you when the world
I guess I'll see you when the world ends
(To calm it down when I get loud)
(I get loud ----)
(To calm it down when when I get loud)
(When I get loud)
(When I get loud loud loud loud loud)
I don't care what you are thinking
Just as long as you keep it out of my own brain
I seem to have this special power when around me
Everyone's thinking the exact same thing
And it's all about me, all about me
I know exactly what you are thinking
It's all eyes on me, all eyes on me
This can't be a healthy way of living
I hide it and scream, just hide it and scream
Scream at the top of my capability
But no one hears me, no one hears me
I think I have reached tranquility
I guess I'll see you when the world
I guess I'll see you when the world
I guess I'll see you when the world
I guess I'll see you when the world ends
(You can you can you can hear his voice)
(Hear his voice, hear his voice)
(It's faint but I can hear it)
(You can hear his voice, hear his voice)
(You can hear his voice)
(It's it's it's faint faint faint but I can hear it)
(It's faint but I can hear it)
All the skater people skating around
Will look at me as I fall down
I know that they're thinking about me in their head
Even if they won't know me, not even when I'm dead
So I go up to the parking garage
Where I can skate without being judged
And even though I will never improve
At least I can skate without you being rude
Even if that's not true
I convince myself that it is true
All the skater people skating around
Will look at me as I fall down
I know that they're thinking about me in their head
Even if they won't know me, not even when I'm dead
I go up to the parking garage
Where I can skate without being judged
And even though I will never improve
At least I can skate without you being rude
Even if that's not true
I convince myself that it is true
Ya even if that's not true
I still convince myself that it is true

New Light
03:44
|

(I've never never felt like this like this)
Chapter eleven
None of us are getting to heaven
So might as well make the most
Of this hell we've found ourselves in
Unable to change our position
Sometimes it's hard to tell
The false from the non-fiction
Better get off the street
I've got a government ID
Stating that I'm older than twenty
So now I get my beer for free
Well just minus the fee
Of having someone get it for me
(I've never never felt like this like this)
(I've never never felt like this like this)
There are no rules
When you're living like fools
We're always supplied
Better ways to get high
Dennis stays the night
Well I guess that's alright
Run through the halls
Try not to get caught
We'll get kicked out
If they hear us shout
Hide the beer in my shirt
Well I guess that might work
(I've never never felt like this like this)
(I've never never felt like this like this)
(I've never felt like this before)
(I've never felt like this before)
(It's what I've been looking for been looking)
(It's once in a lifetime, you would not believe me)
(I've never felt like this before)
(I've never felt like this before)
(It's what I've been looking for been looking)
(It's once in a lifetime, you would not believe me)
This building that I am standing on is burning down
There's nothing else left to do
This burning building is falling apart, I'm gonna fly
There's nothing else left to do
It's alright
We're all fine
There's no fright
In the new light
We're alright
No one dies
If you step
Into the new light
It's alright
We're all fine
There's no fright
In the new light
We're alright
No one dies
If you step
Into the new light
This burning building is falling apart, I'm gonna fly
There's nothing else left to do

Waiting For The Coffee
04:02
|
|||
It was late on our way to Max's apartment
Dark already, sun was setting
There was paper on your tongue and
We didn't know when it would kick in
But when we got there that's when it started to sink in
Because you couldn't stop laughing and I just couldn't resist
Walk faster
Not too fast
Just a little bit faster
Than the group that we're after
And tell me about the plants
And tell me about the trees
I won't hear a single thing
But we'll still be walking in sync
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
Do you remember the weekend when it all changed
We spent the day playing games then we went back to Zanes
It felt nice with your head laying right next to mine
and I swear that it felt like we talked all night when you said
What? You didn't get any sleep in those three hours?
Come watch the sunrise with me through the towers
Your view of the city is so pretty, it's incredible
I just closed my eyes, let out a laugh and said in a little
And later that evening we we're supposed to go to the parking lot
We put on a movie, it got late so we said "maybe not"
We got a little drunk, maybe drunker than we thought
But when we're together we don't care about the brain rot
And you know those moments in life when it all just feels right?
Well those nine months with you everything felt more than alright
I lost track of time, hell I lost all of my sight
But it didn't matter because you save me every night
And it all just felt right
It all just felt right
Right?
Right
And it all just felt right
It all just felt right
Right?
Right
(Honey, honey no)
(Wake up)
(What are you doing?)
(Aren't you gonna be late for work?)
Oh no don't mind me
I'm just waiting
Waiting for the coffee
That's right I am waiting
Waiting for the coffee
Because sometimes it feels right waiting
Waiting for the coffee

I'm Gonna Get There
03:48
|
|||
I stepped into the new light
Looking out at a new skyline
I'm the only one who feels right
But I doubt I'm the one who's blind
Speaking of which, I dropped out
That's not a conversation I'm excited about
They'll chew you up and they'll spit you out
You'll be left with nothing if you have any doubt
I'm not getting rid of my avenues
I'm just trying to do something new
Life is fun until it depends on you
I'd be fucked if I didn't do something new
You should work harder, you should stick with the plan
There's a cost to everyone who throws it into the can
I just don't want to see you living out of a van
You had a good thing going, don't throw it out man
I can't get a degree, even for free
I can't make a business out of cold calling
I don't even give a fuck about the money
I just want to see people inspired by me
Now my dad's calling me and I'm crying
He says I don't even know why you're trying
You'll go broke by the end of year three
But if only he could see
Now my brother's calling me screaming
Saying you're making a mistake, it's showing
How you can't stick with anything
But if only he could see
We're the same person somehow
So how is it different now?
You gave me the confidence to quit
When I didn't know I needed it
How is it different now?
We're the same person somehow
It's so much easier to pretend
When you're already at the end
Side to side and left to left
There's only one way to go and that's right
When you're at rock bottom, you can't hit it again
At least that's what I'm telling my friends
How is it different now?
We're the same person somehow
It's so much easier for you to pretend
Because you're already at the end

(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, now wake up)
(Wake up, now wake up)
(Time to wake up, time to)
(Wake up, now wake up)
(Wake up, now wake up)
(Time to wake up, time to)
(This is your time)
(This is your moment)
(And, and, uh and uh)
(On and on)
(This is your time)
(This is your moment)
(And, and, and uh)
(On and on)
(This is your time)
(This is your moment)
(And uh and uh)
(On and on)
(This is your time)
(This is your moment)
(Come on buddy)
(Wake up and live)
Ok just this once
I'll promise you this, I will fight for this
I'll make a note, I will make a list
I'll keep in my mind for months
Ok I'll mess up twice
But I'm new to this and you understand
You'll hear me out, you'll let me expand
Keeping it in is my only vice
Last month was fun, I hope we get to do it again
Staring at the sun, burning holes in our head
Letting the aliens know that we're willing
To go to outer space if they're in need
We'll fly through the milky way with good intentions
Secretly hoping the journey will never end
If we're out here for a year then we won't care
Real life just adds stress and we're all self aware
That this might not last forever
So we'll fight to cherish this forever
It goes on and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
God I wish the summer would last a bit longer
The leaves are falling and soon it will be winter
Everyone seems to be going back to school
While I'm sitting here working myself like a fool
How do you choose what dreams are worth chasing?
With this new schedule I barely have the time to sing
Am I enjoying myself or am I waiting for spring?
I may have gone too far into this whole dropout thing
I don't have anyone, I don't have anyone
I got these four walls and a window that doesn't open
I don't go anywhere, I don't go anywhere
At home I'm a tourist trapped in my own brain
And it's two steps forward and six steps back
I swear this city's gonna give my mind a heart attack
Two steps forward and six steps back
I swear this city's giving my mind a heart attack
So I'll just move away
Leave everyone who wants me to stay
I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, I don't mind
What do you mean you don't mind?
Is love for me really that hard to find?
No this isn't right
You said you'd fight
Don't leave me tonight
Alone in the Portland light
I wish that I could explain
Why I really feel this way
The atmosphere here just isn't the same
At home I'm a tourist in my brain
I wish that I could explain
Why I really feel this way
The atmosphere here just isn't the same
At home I'm a tourist in my brain
As the stars disappeared
All of my peers
They just sat here
As I ran in fear
They said "wow the sky looks so damn clear tonight"
As the stars disappeared
All of my peers
They just sat here
As I ran in fear
They said "wow the sky looks so damn clear tonight"
Last month was fun, I hope we get to do it again
Staring at the sun, burning holes in our head
Letting the aliens know that we're willing
To go to outer space if they're in need
We'll fly through the milky way
Secretly hoping the journey will never end
If we're out there for a year then we won't care
Real life just adds extra stress and we're all aware

My Heart
04:11
|

It doesn't take much to destroy something beautiful
I just wish that it would take a little bit more
It all seemed to happen so quick
I made a decision in two weeks then split
You had hoped that I would feel different
Fourteen nights were cried over it
I have to get out of the city to breathe
I visited my parents just last week
The warm air in the sky made me believe
That there was something that I needed to tweak
It doesn't take much to destroy something beautiful
I just wish that it would take a little bit more
(And her heart rate dropped)
(And her heart rate dropped)
(And her heart rate dropped)
(And her heart rate dropped)
(Swear to God I think my heart just stopped)
(Swear to God I think my heart just stopped)

Back To Life

(I've never felt like this before)
(I've never felt like this before)
(It's what I've been looking for)
(Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime)
(I've never felt like this before)
(I've never felt like this before)
(It's what I've been looking for)
(Once in a lifetime, believe me)
There's ghosts, there's ghosts, there's ghosts haunting me
The ghosts of my past is taunting me
Saying that I will never change
From coast to coast to coast, I am still the same
I'll never be different
But just maybe, I can improve
I'm climbing
Through a broken window
Of a car flipped over on a bridge twenty feet above water
There's no one around
So I look down and dive into the river but I don't hear a sound
I just see the fishes swimming around
Now I'm alone
Nowhere to roam
All by myself and I'm covered in sweat
Like I just woke up
From a bad dream
I feel so lost so I pick up the phone
Hey, how are you?
Tell me something new
I know I'm going crazy
You don't have to remind me
I'm on the building
Can you hear me sing
"I'm gonna fly, there's nothing else left to do"
(I've never felt like this before)
(I've never felt like this before)
(It's what I've been looking for)
(Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime)
(I've never felt like this before)
(I've never felt like this before)
(It's what I've been looking for)
(Once in a lifetime, believe me)
(I did not become someone different)
(I did not become someone different)
(That I did not want to be)
(I'm new here)
(I can't imagine being anyone other than who I am)
(I can't imagine being anyone other than who I am)
(You have to change your mind before you change the way you living)
(It's something that no one will ever be able to capture on film)
Come back to life
And forget I died
I wanna take back what's mine
It's well worth a try
I want to remember the sensation
Of what it's like to have a conversation
With someone who enjoys my presence
Someone who enjoys so much more than what I present
(I can't ima- can't ima- can't i-man
(I can't ima- can't ima- can't i-man)
(Anyone other- anyone other- anyone)
(Anyone other- anyone other- anyone)
(I did not not not become someone)

Come back to life
Forget I died
I wanna take back what's mine
It's well worth a try
I want to remember the sensation
Of what it's like to have a conversation
With someone who enjoys my presence
Someone who enjoys so much more than what I present
This world seems so irresistible to pain
You gotta look around and think about what's to gain
I know it's easier to just turn around and leave
But you're wasting the oxygen you've been given to breathe
A quarter of my life has gone away
If I die tomorrow will I be satisfied today?
The answer is probably not
But you got to make due with what you got
I'm tired of waiting, I'm not sitting anymore
I'm going and I'm taking what's mine from the store
And if when I'm running I hear the police
Then maybe they'll understand why I'm not on my knees
I can't wait to say twenty-four more days
'Till Christmas because then I will no longer miss
The child that I was the child that I am
The child with hopes and goals and dreams and a plan
A quarter of my life has gone away
If I die tomorrow will I be satisfied today?
The answer is probably not
But we got to make due with what we got
This world seems so irresistible to pain
You gotta look around and think about what's to gain
I know it's easier to just turn around and leave
But you're wasting the oxygen you've been given to breathe
(I can't ima- can't ima- can't i-man)
(I can't ima- can't ima- can't i-man)
(Anyone other- anyone other- anyone)

(I can't ima- can't ima- can't i-man)
(Anyone other- anyone other- anyone)
(Anyone other- anyone other- anyone)
(You have to change your mind before you change the way you living)
(I did not become someone different)
(It's something that no one will be able to capture on film)
(Oh Miss Maria I can't believe it)
(Oh Miss Maria I can't believe it)
(Oh Miss Maria I can't believe it)
(It's just one of those once in a lifetime things eh?)
(It's what I've been looking for for ages)
(It's just one of those things. Look)
(Oh Miss Maria I can't believe it)
(Oh Miss Maria I can't believe it)
(Oh Miss Maria I can't believe it)
(It's just one of those once in a lifetime things eh?)
(It's just, I've never felt like this before)
