Drunk

Words and music by Nolan Randall
Nothin’ to lose, you got somethin’ to choose
I got a playlist goin’ with a bottle of booze
All the boys will be there
And the girls will be scared
We’ve got enough of everything
For everybody’s share
Feelin’ so good
Got a night that I want to remember
Make it the real thing
Don’t want to be a pretender
I don’t wanna fight, the beer you drink is light
Go off and do your dirty deeds into the night
Stay away from the white, I think I lost my sight
Mama, can you tell me when it’s gonna end?
I’ve got too many allies and not enough friends
Too much of anything won’t help me get through
I’ve learned a thing or two
And I hope you have too
Forget about your life and focus on the night
Whatever’s gone wrong will soon turn out right
Don’t have to lend a hand or travel to a land
The D.J. has been replaced by a band
40 of whiskey and a 26er of Jager
Feelin’ so drunk
My walk, it’s turning into a stagger
I don’t wanna fight, the beer you drink is light
Go off and do your dirty deeds into the night
Stay away from the white, I think I lost my sight
Mama, can you tell me when it’s gonna end?
I’ve got too many allies and not enough friends
Too much of anything won’t help me get through
I’ve learned a thing or two
And i hope you have too
Mama, can you tell me when it’s gonna end?
I’ve got too many allies and not enough friends
Too much of anything won’t help me get through
I’ve learned a thing or two
And I hope you have too

Potential
03:26

Words and music by Nolan Randall
She’s so fine, she knows everybody around
It’s a sign, they follow her like a blood hound
No escaping your feelings
You’ve got to make her aware
Complicating your actions
Tell her she’s got to beware
You don’t even realize your potential
People start to criticize why you’re mental
On your mind, you know she wants to ignore you
So unkind, she treats you just like the guy before you
Never a day where she wants you to call all the shots
Maybe if she can’t get you
It might change her thoughts
You don’t even realize your potential
People start to criticize why you’re mental
Then she starts to penalize your credentials
You don’t even realize your potential
Your potential is an honest truth
That’s never gonna change
People are just animals
That’s why they act like you’re strange
No way out, you’ve got to play the man’s game
Walk about as if everybody’s the same
You’ve tried every angle
You’ve even changed your appearance
Finding a way to capture without interference
You don’t even realize your potential
People start to criticize why you’re mental
Then she starts to penalize your credentials
You don’t even realize your potential

Keep It Alive
03:36
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
They don't know where I belong
They don't know a thing
They don't know how I get strong
It keeps them wondering
To be a young man is not as pleasant as it seems
Never trusting no one, no one can be trusted
They're plotting all their schemes
Take a look in my eyes
And you'll see there's no disguise within
I got a job baggin' groceries at the food-way
But it don't pay
Associated with a psychopath and a killer
Or some might say
Where do you stand as you stand in front of me?
Sometimes what's standing in front of you
is the hardest thing to see
Take a look at my share
And you'll see there's no despair within
Keep it alive, it's a half past five
And I don't know where I'm going
I'll go to the lengths to enlighten my strengths
And to keep this life I've chosen
Keep it alive, it's a half past five
And I don't know where I'm going
I'll go to the lengths to enlighten my strengths
And to keep this life I've chosen
One of these days I'm gonna get a gun
And kill all those things that I shun
Maybe that will get the job done
As long as I don't do it in front of my son
Keep it alive, it's a half past five
And I don't know where I'm going
I'll go to the lengths to enlighten my strengths
And to keep this life I've chosen
Keep it alive, it's a half past five
And I don't know where I'm going
I'll go to the lengths to enlighten my strengths
And to keep this life I've chosen

Not Going Anywhere
04:21
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
Take a look at what’s goin’ on
And tell me where’s it going?
Take a look at what’s going wrong
Without you even knowing
Yes we’ve heard it all before
And grow tired of it’s meaning
All we ever need is more
It’s travesties we’re fiending
Put the lover aside and take a ride inside the truth
What’s at stake will make or break your mood
It’s a matter of letting go
And stay true to what’s right
If you tell a blind man “no”
it won’t bring back his sight
Thought you’d score some women
for this fabulous occasion
Standing in a room alone in desperate desperation
Put the lover aside and take a ride inside the truth
What’s at stake will make or break your mood
And it’s a fact that you’re not going anywhere
Still got the music left to share
Get with the times and comb your hair
‘Cause we’re not going anywhere
The next chapter’s a definite one
But you may not survive
It might not be your method of fun
But it will help you revive
Thought you’d score some women
for this fabulous occasion
Standing in a room alone in desperate desperation
Put the lover aside and take a ride inside the truth
What’s at stake will make or break your mood
And it’s a fact that you’re not going anywhere
Still got the music left to share
Get with the times and cut your hair
‘Cause we’re not going anywhere
You’re not going anywhere
Still got the music left to share
Get with the times and lose your hair
‘Cause we’re not going anywhere

Move Around
04:01
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
Thought I'd go to another city
To play a role in distraction
Five years old now and then I'm fifty
To keep my soul from reaction
Physically ill now and mentally stable
Let's talk a bit about passion
Let's see what this life will bring to the table
Let's multiply the fractions
You move around and then you, you settle down
Then you get so bored
You want another chance
to go ahead and move around
You move around and then you, you settle down
Then you get so bored
You want another chance
to go ahead and move around
You move around, you move around, you move around
Not enough time for me to rotate
So many things to attend to
Wish I never had to obligate
I have no time to commend you
Horrible pleasure and terrible good luck
No way I'm gonna pretend to
Make a dollar and take a big buck
We'll see how much they will send you
You move around and then you, you settle down
Then you get so bored
You want another chance
To go ahead and move around
You move around and then you, you settle down
Then you get so bored
You want another chance
To go ahead and move around
You move around, you move around, you move around
Splitting hairs while I tell my story
With so much to worry about
Feel the shame, but I feel the glory
There's lots for me to figure out
Cynically hoping, confidently doubting
It gives me nothing but a drought
What I've learned now from every outing
Is that I never had a doubt
You move around and then you, you settle down
Then you get so bored
You want another chance
to go ahead and move around
You move around and then you, you settle down
Then you get so bored
You want another chance
to go ahead and move around
You move around and then you, you settle down
Then you get so bored
You want another chance
to go ahead and move around
You move around and then you, you settle down
Then you get so bored
You want another chance
to go ahead and move around
You move around, you move around, you move around

Satan's Highway
03:40
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
Going through the motion, won't you take me there
Gonna make it if you're gonna take me anywhere
Questioning my morals, with my mortality
Nothin's goin' right but nothin's gonna rattle me
Feeling's lost when you're
goin' through the dark ages
Such a cost when you're
flashing through the middle pages
Learning ways of evil without trying it
Everybody sees, but no one's really buying it
Fire rising higher, examining my fate
Things that happen are not what we all anticipate
Take a ride down satan's highway
He'll show you one thing or another, yeah
Get along with him, but not in a shy way
He wants you to become a blood brother, yeah
Nature as a demon, never bothered me
Living life as a supernatural entity
The name is Lucifer, the job is telling you
What they bought,
it may not be what they are selling you
Effective opposite of everything that's been created
Protective opposites will tell you that it's overrated
Never going further than you did before
Seems so pointless
if you're always gonna want some more
Take a ride down satan's highway
Your chariot is ready to leave, yeah
Even if you have to go down the byway
The point is not to ever believe, yeah
Take a ride down satan's highway
He'll show you one thing or another, yeah
Get along with him, but not in a shy way
He wants you to become a blood brother, yeah
Take a ride down satan's highway
Your chariot is ready to leave, yeah
Even if you have to go down the byway
The point is not to ever believe, yeah

Full Moon Light
03:41
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
Now, there’s something I need to release
And get off my chest
All the hype and people buying in
I’m not that impressed
There’s gotta be a reason why they’re placed
above the rest
Just because they’re popular
does not make them the best
Sure they’ve paid some dues and worked so hard
How else would they get there? whoa-oh-oh-oh
When it comes to skill and filling bars
There’s more to compare
Born into a world they have
Taken for granted, uh-huh
Mom has got no records
And dad, he can’t stand it, uh-huh
Full moon light, you never get lost at night
Full moon light, shows it’s alright
Getting used to a bush league kind of life
That’s what we have here
Everybody’s gone their separate ways
So few that are near
Is there anything out there that will make
my destiny clear?
Walk into a room so unafraid
My biggest fear
Is there any difference between them and I?
I think there might be, whoa, oh-oh-oh
Closing the curtain on these guys
Now that I’m aware
Born into a world they have
taken for granted, uh-huh
Mom has got no records
And dad, he can’t stand it, uh-huh
Full moon light, you never get lost at night
Full moon light, shows it’s alright
Born into a world they have
taken for granted, uh-huh
Mom has got no records
And dad, he can’t stand it, uh-huh
Na na na, you never get lost at night
Na na na, shows it’s alright

Another Planet
05:06
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
We've got another friend of ours who won't even go
We've got another friend with cars
Who thinks that he knows
I sit and wonder why sometimes, life it moves so slow
I used to think my future was easy, now I'm not sure
With little pleasure, it would just tease me
I feel premature
The life that I live is so different than the one I prefer
Working so hard, can't even stand it
Life is not what you're gonna plan it
The guy who won't go, he still can manage
It's time to get up and leave and go to another planet
I'm steady rolling this time here, far from the begin
My occupation is sincere, at least I give in
If you're leaving for somewhere
Don't worry where you've been
You've got another plane to catch, a plain ambition
You've got another brain to scratch, a failed audition
We can't be falling apart, 'cause we are on a mission
Working so hard, can't even stand it
Life is not what you're gonna plan it
The guy who won't go, he still can manage
It's time to get up and leave and go to
Finishing right where we began it
Seedier than a pomegranate
Did less than what a family man did
It's time to get up and leave
Another planet's cold with no oxygen
There's no way you could even understand it
And then the time goes by right before your eyes
And then you die
Working so hard, can't even stand it
Life is not what you're gonna plan it
The guy who won't go, he still can manage
It's time to get up and leave and go to
Finishing right where we began it
Seedier than a pomegranate
Did less than what a family man did
It's time to get up and leave and go to another planet

In The Rain
04:33
|
|||
Words and music by Nolan Randall
It appears as if we’ve had our fun
When all is said and done, said and done
If we count up all of what we’ve won
Then it would weigh a ton, weigh a ton
It’s just the memories lying there
Proof that we make a decent pair
Don’t know where I come from
But I sure do know where I belong
Don’t know if I’ll get some
Making sure I stay out of the wrong
It’s up to you now
It’s what we choose if we’re the same
You saw me dying
You saw me crying in the rain
Keep my life on track
While looking for a way to travel back, travel back
Got my bags all packed
Don’t care if we live in a shotgun shack
Shotgun shack
It’s just the future up the stairs
Let go of all your little cares
Don’t know where I come from
But I sure do know where I belong
Don’t know if I’ll get some
Making sure I stay out of the wrong
It’s up to you now
It’s what we choose if we’re the same
You saw me dying
You saw me crying in the rain
It’s up to you now
It’s what we choose if we’re the same
You saw me dying
You saw me crying in the rain

Words and music by Nolan Randall
Stepped into town about yesterday
Ran outta decent songs to play
Found my way back on the freeway
Told my friend Jack on a weekday
This ain't a decent place to play
Never thought it would be so tough
So many at bats for Aubrey Huff
People are strange on the weekends
Trying to change all my weak friends
I wouldn't live without my stuff
I got a strange feeling that won't ever go away
As far as I go, it seems that it is here to say
Writing a sentence without the right words to say
It's not okay
It's time to break free from the walls that keep us in
I'm getting rusty from my heart that's made of tin
Lost in the cold, and I found my buddy
Does what he's told, and his feet are muddy
When will everything begin?
Got a new car, it's breaking down
Stuck inside this limited town
It takes too long if I only
Write a new song for the lonely
Maybe I'll find another sound
I got a strange feeling that won't ever go away
As far as I go, it seems that it is here to say
Writing a sentence without the right words to say
It's not okay
It's time to break free from the walls that keep us in
I'm getting rusty from my heart that's made of tin
Lost in the cold, and I found my buddy
Does what he's told, and his feet are muddy
When will everything begin?

All Time Low
03:57
|

Words and music by Nolan Randall
Keeping up with the world they made for us
What’s it all about?
It seems that they betrayed our trust
They think they’re smart but they do not know a thing
What can you do when you live in a world
where only crap is king?
If we only knew where this would
Take us down the road
Sorry, I forgot to tell the story in stupid mode
Talking to the people who still care and you’re still
Walking with your feet up in the air when I start
Rocking in this never ending chair
I’m sure you know this all time low is everywhere
Graceless things like this make me wonder why
Mindless exhibitionism is why you’re with that guy
Obnoxious self-indulgence is a sign
That many people are aware that
true style is in decline
People get notoriety for reasons all unknown
Trying to blame the world
But it’s nobody’s fault but our own
Talking to the people who still care and you’re still
Walking with your feet up in the air when I start
Rocking in this never ending chair
I’m sure you know this all time low is everywhere
You do it to feel good about yourself
Every time you’re in a jam you have to ask for help
The world is yours, you have to make a choice
It’s not just you this happens to
all the girls and boys
Talking to the people who still care and you’re still
Walking with your feet up in the air when I start
Rocking in this never ending chair
I’m sure you know this all time low is everywhere

Major Minor

Words and music by Nolan Randall
They say it’s not his fault
Has no more wounds to salt
They told him not to worry
And everything will run it’s course
None of the games he’s won
Broke-down bastard, he left his son
And swears he will return
From all the battles and wars
He started walking slow
Because he doesn’t even know how to run
It’s all for fun or so the little story goes
He never knows such episodes
Getting adjusted to all the codes
His mind is set on what to do
He’ll find a way to find another reason too
He can’t escape the lies and fears of keeping up
If it’s a dream you know it can’t be a nightmare
You know Mr. Mayfair just someday might care
They wonder why they ever even wish him luck
He’ll make his call against the wall
He’ll start to crawl, and then he’ll fall
Above it all, it’s not his fault
Working his life away with all the bills to pay
His mother told him that he never should complain
Hot, then he’s cold as ice
Livin’ everyday as he rolls the dice
He’s cool one minute then the next he goes insane
Some people are concerned
And some don’t even care if he is alive
The car’s in drive, but no one is behind the wheel
The truth is real, he can’t conceal
All the temptations that he’ll feel
His mind is set on what to do
He’ll find a way to find another reason too
He can’t escape the lies and fears of keeping up
If it’s a dream, you know it can’t be a nightmare
You know Mr. Mayfair just someday might care
They wonder why they ever even wish him luck
He’ll make his call against the wall
He’ll start to crawl, and then he’ll fall
Above it all, it’s not his fault
(Working his life away with all the bills to pay
his mother told him that he never should complain)
His mind is set on what to do
He’ll find a way to find another reason too
He can’t escape the lies and fears of keeping up
(Hot then he’s cold as ice
Livin’ everyday as he rolls the dice
He’s cool one minute then the next he goes insane)
If it’s a dream you know it can’t be a nightmare
You know Mr. Mayfair just someday might care
They wonder why they ever even wish him luck
(They say it’s not his fault
Has no more wounds to salt
They told him not to worry
and everything will run it’s course)
His mind is set on what to do
He’ll find a way to find another reason too
He can’t escape the lies and fears of keeping up
(None of the games he’s won
Broke-down bastard, he left his son
And swears he will return
from all the battles and wars)
He’ll make his call against the wall
He’ll start to crawl, and then he’ll fall
Above it all, it’s not his fault
