My Own Way 03:09
I've got a brand new plan I've got guitars in a van And I'll take 'em to the big city I've got my mom and my dad And they don't get that mad When I tell them I've got no money They say that, "son, you've gotta make it your own way You've gotta do it alone And we know you'll make us proud someday And you can always come home" I'm sorry I've got no time for a girlfriend They always hate it when I am gone But everybody's got to love something And I don't think what I do is wrong Cuz I've gotta make it my own way Yeah I've gotta do it alone And though you might want to marry me I want to hang and play songs You know that living this life it could kill me But working a job is the same But that death is guaranteed So I'll take my chances today Cuz I've gotta make it my own way I've got to do it alone So I don't care about the shit they say Clear a path, I've gotta roam
2.
Get Down 02:31
I wanna stay up late And I wanna tempt my fate And I can never concentrate On the things that make me great And I probably wrote the book On how to be a lovesick crook Baby you do not have to look I will tell you exactly what I took Just let me stay the night And it'll make everything alright But you run me in the ground Sometimes you gotta get high to get down I can see you going for the kill Baby let's talk about the things you spill And everybody's got to get their thrill And I don't wanna live in a world that's real
3.
Happy 05:15
You can always fuck up the things that you love But it won't matter when push comes to shove And every time I think I'm skating on thin ice I can't find a single reason to be nice To anyone, or anything I just want to be happy I've got people who talk at me, but not with me Do you know what I mean? And I've been living minute to minute, and every minute feels like a century Do you know what I mean? And I don't wanna stay, but I don't wanna leave I just want to be okay You can stay inside for your whole life Get yourself a job, some debt, and a wife Or you can keep all your best friends around And every weekend lose yourself in the sound Of your guitar, and let it drown All of that guessin'
4.
Car Accident 04:16
I need you like a fire in my home I need you like a collarbone But I don't miss you that much Cuz you've got that poison touch I want you like a poor man wants the gold I want you like a warm man wants the cold But I don't miss you anymore Because you left my body so sore And I don't think it's very wrong Yeah I don't think it's very wrong That it's gone on for so long That it's gone on for so long I need you like a knife in my back I want you like a heart attack And I miss you like a car accident And that is exactly what I meant And I don't think it's very wrong Yeah I don't think it's very wrong That it's gone on for so long That it's gone on for so long Now I've gotta go it alone
5.
Oxygen 04:24
Let the wind take you where you want to go Let me raise you from the low Let me break you from the bone Let me hate you like you're my own Let the words soothe you like medicine Let me breathe you, my oxygen
6.
Detox 04:28
Let's see how much I can handle There's got to be an end Let's try a different angle Maybe someone will let us in And all my friends have detoxed And atoned for all their sins But I just say it's their loss As I wait for the party to begin I know everybody breaks down But it ain't gotta be that bad I know I'm the talk of the town But I've still got everything I had You know I live a simple life I keep my carbon footprint small But there's a feeling I can't fight I wanna destroy it all And all my friends have relapsed Yeah they let the demon win I tell them to relax The demon, he's my friend I know everybody breaks down But it ain't gotta be that bad Now I'm the talk of your town And I've lost everything I had
7.
Nothing matters at the end of the day Your feelings scatter and they get in the way You'll find a girl that you like okay But it won't matter if she can't stay But do you miss her now? Do you miss her now? You shouldn't miss her now, no Just let it happen man, just let it go There's way too much shit that you'll never know Your friends are high, so that makes you low Just sit back and enjoy the show But do you miss them now? Do you miss them now? You shouldn't miss them now, no Do you ever think about the things you do? The way you did me baby made me blue I gave a million chances to be true But it don't matter now that we're through But do you miss me now? Do you miss now? You shouldn't miss me now, no
8.
Shit Happens 02:50
Baby I know That when you go to my show That it does not feel right Let's see how much regret you can hide And I'm lucky to see What you don't mean to me Some people just fuck up all the time I'm so happy that you ain't mine I'm loving this distance So baby get with it I don't care, not at all, bye bye Sometimes I wonder how you get to sleep at night
9.
Boy 03:22
Wake up boy There's a lot of work to do Take it boy Everyone's so damn sick of you Stupid boy Nobody raised you wrong Stupid boy Who you gonna blame this one on? Crazy boy You're so used to slamming doors Stupid boy No one's gotta love you anymore Wake up boy There's a lot of work to do Take it boy Everyone's so damn sick of you Shut it, boy Nobody raised you wrong Stupid boy Who you gonna blame this one on?
10.
Nightmare 04:36
Home is just a word that you put on a place Love is just a thing that you put to a face And I don't know what they mean to me And I don't know where I'm supposed to be I grew up, or so I am told When all I want is a pretty hand to hold And I do not feel safe here Oh my God, I'm not safe here For every dream there is a nightmare Truth is just a thing that you hear about when she sings It melts the snow, may you bloom in the spring You know this darkness, it cannot last too long You'll survive, in your heart you are strong You'll survive, in your heart you are strong For every dream there is a nightmare

about

Bishops Harrisonburg, Virginia

"Bishops' wall-of-sound approach to fuzz rock is easy to zone out to in the best of ways, bringing to mind early 90s acts like Bob Mould and Miracle Legion...Dream Easy revels in being in the thick of it, even as it's a cathartic release of anguish. For capturing an important moment in everyone's lives so thoroughly, Dream Easy is already one of my favorite albums of 2016." - Adobe and Teardrops ... more
