All American Boogeyman

I ran away, there wasn't much for me to say
I'm growing tired of these parties, you're mom keeps asking,
"Andrés, when do you think you're gunna marry our daughter"
I'm the type of boy who wants to watch the world crash and burn...
Any time I have a bad day
I'm not quite sure that I should be allowed to pro-create?
I don't wanna be domesticated
I slapped the bag and smashed the bottle
Got yelled at a babyshower
Uncle took me to the side and said,
"Andrés aren't you gunna be 27 soon?"
A boy should only get as drunk as I've been getting this whole month
If he's in the mood to kiss a girl or kill a man
I just might be in the mood for both?
Don't fucking test me
Y'all are way too obsessed with being forgiven
While I'm settling into my role of being "The Villain"
Y'all can just keep swimming in that sea of binary opinions
1's and 0's could never hurt me
See I could spread my love and positivity from venues popping sea to sea
And some of y'all wouldn't be able to sleep until you fucking cancel me
"It's only God who judges us"
But these days it's the "Morally Just"people of the internet
MY JUDGEMENT DAY IS COMING UP
I may not be what you wanted or needed me to be, but that's just life yeah
You may not be what I wanted or needed you to be, but that's just life yeah
Boo! Your love for me was always followed by an eagerness to throw me out into the street
Boo! Well if you thought that shit was scary then I got something a whole lot freaking scarier!
Boo! It's the "All American Boogeyman" and I'm coming for you!

Shit Could Be Worse

I need a "downer" just to feel "up"
I need a memory to feel love
I need you shoving me into your wall, just so I could feel "right at home"
I think that I lost myself in pleasures of the flesh
I lost myself when I stopped caring that you started dating other men
In fact it made me more confident
26 ain't going quite like I thought it would
The habits I picked up for dealing with my insecurities made me more insecure
I used to be more optimistic in my ways
"Advice My Younger Self Would Say":
Shit could be worse
We could be dead
There's beauty in life
We're dancing my friend
Shit could be Worse
We could be Dead
There's beauty in pain
So get over it!
Buy stuff!
I need applause so I can feel tough
I'm standing on a mountain of my fans just to keep it together
I used to say things like, "I wouldn't do it for the money!"
But all of my bills have been stacking up and the "Corona" just fucked up my touring
I'm pushing 30, I'm just wanna buy a place
BUT STILL MY YOUNGER SELF WOULD SAYYYYYYY
Shit could be worse
We could be dead
There's beauty in life
We're dancing my friend
Shit could be Worse
We could be Dead
There's beauty in pain
So get over it!
Finally I got a manager but then he dropped me
cuz he picked up "some indie band who's record was much cooler than mine"
(I feel you t swift)
and they had a viral video on youtube....
Finally I got a famous singer on a feature
but I'm not too good with ads, so not a lot of people really heard it...
I think I should hire a marketing guy or something?
Lessons that I'm learning 'cuz I really wanna make it
There's no room for animosity or hatred
Everybody else is tryna make it too...
I could never blame them
I'm very insecure in my career
Every "victory" is like a stepping stone and I'm not anywhere near the top...
I DON'T THINK I'M GUNNA MAKE IT
So meet me at the bar at 7:30(pm)!
Telling me about the shitty day you had at work and how you hate your boss...
SHOULD MAKE ME FEEL A LOT BETTER
Stumble on my street at 2:30(am)
(oh shit)
And if I'm lucky when I throw up in the gutter the reflection's a "younger me"
AND HE STARTS SINGING
that shit could be worse, so get over it

Prom 2012

You shiver in your prom dress
I wish we drove here with my friends 'cause
Yours bore me to death
We broke up last week, 'cause of my ex
I'm saying I'm sorry, I'm saying it softly
Maybe I'm saying I'm sorry wasn't ever enough
You're grinding up on me
Caressing me softly
Maybe we graduate and I don't ever see you at all
F*** growing up I don't wanna do that s***
We all just wanna party
F*** Growing up, I wanna go out, "With a Bang!"
*Bang Bang* on the window pane
With your PT Cruiser in the rain
When a cop pulls up with his flashlight yelling out,
"Why are y'all parked in this cul-de-sac?!"
Uh... Excuse me but I guess I didn't realize...
It's a developing neighborhood(Okay I Lied!)
BUT IT'S PROM NIGHT
And instead of going to a party, I wanted to get naughty in a car my momma bought me
Bought me bought me
That ain't the only thing she bought me
She's getting married and she's moving to Los Osos
But I gotta stay in Bakersfield, I started selling snow cones
And you'd pick me up at 9(pm), I'd still be counting money
And you'd look over in time to see my phone start ringing...
I'm saying I'm sorry, I'm saying it loudly
Maybe I'm saying I'm sorry isn't ever enough
You're crying up on me
hitting me softly
Maybe we graduate and I don't ever see you at all
One bud in my left, one in your right
That's how we would share my ipod on summer nights
I studied your sickness every night
Thinking I'd grow up to be the one who'd watch you
So before we grow up and we have to start doing our taxes
Before we get off of our parents' insurance
Before we eventually realize that you wouldn't be able to stand what I do for a living
and I don't wanna get married in my twenty's...
Before you throw me away in a bargain bin for all of the shit that I did
I'm growing up
I'm saying I'm sorry for the last time
I know that saying I'm sorry was never enough
I heard your cousin moved to Portland
Maybe we graduate and I don't ever see you at all

It's freezing cold but you're inviting me outside to smoke a cigarette
No fucking thank you, I got asthma, but I'm following your silhouette... still
It's quite apparent that we value different things, but I've been blinded
If I keep scrolling to the bottom could I possibly reveal why I kept coming over?
I got you alone again, Im whispering thoughts of a wedding ring
Would you be so kind to be my future ex-wife?
You got me alone again, you're whispering thoughts of "premarital sin"
Would you be so kind to be my future ex-wife?
The type of sex that burns my skin just like a cigarette, I should've quit.. WELL
What can I say? I like the pain, I guess that I'm a bit of a masochist
Let's build a future that won't last
So I can sulk about the past
I'll pay my child support
You take Custody
Take me to the courthouse, looking so good in that french blouse you said... I never loved you?
But I did I always did yes I did!
As I watch you cup your hand, whispering secrets to a man
I could see you from the bar, it’s not how this night was planned
On the walk back to your car I didn’t wanna hold your hand
When we got back to your house, I just wanted “us” to end
We woke up in the morning, and you had no recollection
We ate breakfast with your step mom and your brothers, I just fit in
Oh how lovely it would be to keep on growing up with you
In love enough to put up with each others’ shitty moods
You’re either yelling at me 'cuz I’m drinking with my friends
Or I’m pissed at you for something you said on the internet
Oh how lovely it would be to keep on growing up with you
In love enough to put up with each others’ shitty moods
I've got half the mind to leave these prenuptial agreements behind

I've been gaining weight
in my stomach and my face
It must be my age, cuz my habits haven't changed
since I've been 18 it's been a series of long term relationships and chasing my dreams in dive bars across the country
I went from hanging at Whitney's Apartment to working at restaurants every night
These days I'm chilling at Cameron's apartment and music is paying my bills, but shit hasn't changed that much
has it?
Maybe what I'm hungry for was never gunna be listed on the menu
Maybe what I'm hungry for was never gunna be listed on the menu
I've been losing faith, in my self and this place
do I look like someone who'd wanna remember anything?
See I haven't talked to Jade since I ran into her, a few months back at Tommy's Place
The conversation started great, until she got reminded that
We all have strayed
That shit happened years ago anyways...
I miss the Summers when Harry and I would just stay up all night, talking girls over wine
in a bag.. in a box...
Searching for a meaning
Alive but heart's not beating
This world's so unappealing
But I'm in bed still dreaming
Being alone is just a way of life
Nowadays everything feels so empty
Look out the window and I'm horrified
Nobody's making any sense and I'm just...

I gotta bottle of O.J. and Tito's at my crib
Maybe you come and we hash out the things that we said
I think there's not a better time..
we've been quarantined for some time...
It's got me thinking if the world's gunna end
'cause lately I'm dreaming about you and we're more than friends
they(the dreams) range from us dancing real close
to you catching me with those other girls
I'd warn you empty white claws and crusty socks, riddle the floor..
but seeing you reminds me of when things were more simple:)
Sometimes I wish I caught you
my bad, I fumbled
That's just the way the cookie crumbles
Sometimes I don't want sex
I just wanna cuddle
that's just the way the cookie crumbles
I had a copy of Star Wars
My momma was seeing some guy in Los Osos
That's when you would come over
When I was out of breath I'd take
Two puffs while you would rub my chest
Being an adult's just:
1. Drinking wine with dinner
2. No one at the table considers you a "singer"
3. Settle down with someone who doesn't stress you out
4. Buying things with money from your future self
I'm stuck inside my room
I'm surrounded by yearbooks that you signed, pictures that you drew
I put 'em on my wall
I might just finish this screwdriver after-all... and swerve my ass to your house...
I heard your parents moved from Southern Oaks to Southern Campus Park
You're lucky I know the topography of this town very well
There's no escaping me, there's no escaping this
This is permanent like the marks on your wrists
I would die for you, and even if you died
I would search the multiverse for you
(and even if she isn't like you, that'll have to do)

Another year on this ship
I didn't take that promotion
It looks like you lost a little weight
It's easy to get caught in your space
How convenient is that
The power's out in your apartment
Specifically on the same night that I decided to just drop in
A candle just so I can see your face,
pizza and a bottle of rosé
And you say that I look a little older
really I just need a better diet
There’s a global pandemic
And the streets are on fire
Yet things are just as innocent as ever between us
Another Week
Another Month
Another Year
It's not over 'till we die
I remind myself I'm not the only one
Had to convince myself to live and have some fun
Step outta my room, it feel like a tomb
I'm really sick and tired of just meeting over Zoom.
I reach over for my flannel, catch a whiff of your perfume
Snap back to reality
Love or lust? This whole thing got me questioning my sanity
I pass the time just yelling out profanities
I'm a pro fan of thee
Hope the wind moves us closer
I'll ask if you'd be with me
I don't form Bonds* with people easily
So bury (Barry*) me if I don't clear Oracle Park*
I mean a home-run gotta get the spark
that's my benchmark, yea
Perfectionist, you know my earmark, yea
That's a fantasy land
We in a global pandemic
My beats is still fire
And things are just as innocent as ever between us
(Rikers log. Personal. After chief obrian beamed the away team and i to the surface, there was a string of events that took place. Some of which my life was in danger, and some of which I'm ashamed to mention. Never the less I didnt forget about our session. Ill beam back to you once all the is over)
Trying to slow dance in your new furnished quarters
music to remind us of our old empty quarrels
I saw you with Aaron Conor
You heard about me and Laren…
You’re gazing upon my teeth like
None of that ever happened
Let’s rendezvous in the hollo-deck
What’s a knock out like you doing in a computer generated gin joint like this
There’s nothing real about this
let's not go back out there…
Another year on this ship
I’ll never take that promotion
It looks like you got a new hair-style
It’s easy to get caught in your smile

I know you think the world is just as bad as you see it on your graphs
I know I think the world is just as good as you paying for my tab
I like showing out to a party just to talk about myself
Then I wonder why I wake up with a bad taste in my mouth
I think I'm lost and I don't wanna be found
I don't quite believe I'm a victim to my own DNA
If I'm being honest, I'm just following my environment
My friends all think the last album that I dropped was a, "Cry For Help"
I tell them, "Go to Hell!" then I laugh it off... and then I cry for help...
In the Privacy of my own room
My grandfather was known to be a "Champagne Golfer"
In the Privacy of my own room
My "Loved Ones" think that I am quite the "Champagne Golfer"
You said that I can't change the past?
I said, "Of course I can;)"
(I've been reaching for your green light baby...)
Why do you think I'm throwing all these parties?
I ain't nothing but a "Jazz Hound" BABY!
I've been in the mood for stumbling around your house lately
I'm about to pull up to your Christmas party faded
Make your mom and daddy question why you even wanna date me(lol)
Another day another bottle
Shit don't change I still don't call you
It's hard to count on a Champagne Golfer
Don't count on a Champagne Golfer

I heard you've been sober for sometime now
Is it 'cuz your uncle died?
I turned my back on you in 2015
'Cuz I couldn't stay inside...
The thought of me in the shower for too long
Always made you insecure
Now he's got your eyes taped open wide
'Cuz he makes you watch his
Porn
My father still blames you for that night, that I got a dui
But we both know it was a matter of time
I’ve got habits I don’t hide
The thought of not seeing you for 2 month always made me insecure
Now I got my eyes taped opened wide
While your traveling the world
You stopped wearing black because your life was dark enough
Got a real good job while I admired you a lot
Learned to enjoy life without the substances involved
You might be the greatest teacher that I’ve had by far
I wanted you to know that
You’ve been prospering in life despite all of the odds
You might be the greatest teacher that I’ve had by far
