half a handle of that Old Crow
and a handful of some pills so
mixed and now gone all down his throat
chasing bad decisions with smoke
Zombie Joe is comin
now he speaks in stilted diction
as he stumbles from the kitchen
hollow eyed he's on a mission
gravity is his competition
Zombie Joe is comin
Joe can't walk
Joe can't talk
(he is a zombie)

Drink and Talk
03:46

I drink and talk and smoke too much
nearly passed out in a tub
might have stayed but didn't fit
couldn't find my bed
didn't give a shit
I lose something every night
I laid and wept instead of sleep
almost met death
had to follow my feet
the dude in the mirror wasn't me
and the numbers don't fit
couldn't find my head
think I'm losing my shit
I had no control but I could cry
this wasn't how I planned to die
oh I thought they'd make me wear a sign
that reads: fuck off I've lost my mind
I'm not quite sure why it stopped happening
but I know I am really quite pleased
cause I'm a bit of a fan of living
and I could really use the sleep

I was born at Cox South but moved away at two
back in town at sixteen years with nothing here to do
drove around and cried at what these giant churches spend
load a bowl and baptize me in gravy again
god, meth, and cashew chicken
fraud, death, and classroom prison
flawed, deaf, and value driven
god, meth, and cashew chicken
/John Q. Hammons interview/
I was given everything but then dropped out of school
drank and smoked two years away but found myself less cruel
helped me redefine the words that made me what I'd been
load a bowl and baptize me in gravy again and again
god, meth, and cashew chicken
fraud, death, and classroom prison
flawed, deaf, and value driven
god, meth, and cashew chicken

The Cabin

it seems silly to reminisce at only 22 years old
but we were all together not even a year ago
the cabin door was always open
we were always loaded
every night was Saturday
and we had jobs that didn't matter
hey oh you
who do you know here?
I'm just fucking with you
but you can grab me a beer
but now that's all gone
the cabin has moved on
the conglomerate went along
with it and we had jobs and girls
or lost them when it went wrong
but I've still got you
so let's pour a drink or three
and avoid going to a party on a Friday
later apologize for being too drunk to drive
oh you
I'm afraid if you knew me
you'd be scared to spend the rest of your life with me

Ass Glass
03:58

we went out to drink pools of whiskey
and trade stories of bygone minor debauchery
celebrating years of Blackout Joe's treachery
we honor his name to avoid such a travesty
we finished at the bar with much less money
you stole Derka's sammie cause you thought it was funny
all stoked to smoke and nom when we get back home
but we tripped and flew through the fucking window
I'm not gonna live forever
but I'm not gonna die on this fucking floor
down on all fours in a pool of my blood
you yell: don't move, call 911
I ask why I'm dizzy from just a bit of glass
when I see 18 inches stuck in my ass
and the next day I knew
two things were true
my friends aren't assholes
like I'd assumed
and I don't want to be with anyone but you
I don't want to spend it with anyone but you
you be my vision, I'll try to be our mind
I don't want to spend it with anyone but you
I'm not gonna live forever
but I'm not gonna die on this fucking floor
