Half of LA will be high when the big one hits When the big one hits And we’ll either be Traumatized For our entire lives Or we won’t remember a thing In which case we’ll be fine Rebuild the houses for everyone this time That’s just life on the faultline I guess that’s just life on the faultline Maybe we can start a cult And live in Fuller domes in the desert Maybe we can build a boat And sail the seven seas forever Maybe we can build a boat And sail the seven seas forever LA is home It’s got a lot of problems But it tastes like home Tacos and fancy ramen Half of LA will be high when the big one hits When the big one hits And we’ll either be traumatized For our entire lives Or we won’t remember a thing In which case we’ll be fine Rebuild the houses for everyone this time That’s just life on the faultline I guess that’s just life on the faultline Things that I tell myself Just to get through the day Things that I tell myself Just so I feel okay Things that I tell myself Just to get through the day Before the floor falls out beneath me Before the floor falls out Things that I tell myself Just to get through the day Things that I tell myself Just so I feel okay Half of LA will be high when the big one hits When the big one hits And we’ll either be Traumatized For our entire lives Or we won’t remember a thing In which case we’ll be fine rebuild the houses for everyone this time That’s just life on the faultline I guess that’s just life Half of LA will be high When the big one hits When the big one hits

2019 was the year Mother Nature called our bluff She said "The rate of human death 'round here is not nearly enough You should've ended fossil fuels and replanted all the trees because now you can't go anywhere in your Hummer SUV You should've chosen better leaders or at least just tried to stop them when they said 'The only thing holding us back is a sense of moderation'" Now the spin rooms have gone silent There's no spinning what is done in convention center morgues with hordes in shrouds from Amazon dot com We're the grandchildren of Egypt on the couch binge-watching Netflix While the lonely die in hospitals and prisons and park benches I am keeping track of days by how often I have to shave my underarms and I hear car alarms echo from city streets I dare not go But the rain came down in LA April Showers People idled in their vehicles Smoking weed eating nonperishables with the windshield wipers on humbly greeted the gray of the dawn When Mother Nature waves her wand she sends down on us a curse it's like Flu 1918 except I read that one was worse but don't get too optimistic lest you end up a statistic Just to keep things in perspective I read it's like two 9-11s in New York At the fork In the road Another chapter of our history comes to a tragic close All the fish drown in the water All the rest drown in their lungs You can go out on the balcony But there's nowhere left to run But the rain came down in LA April Showers People idled in their vehicles Smoking weed eating petrochemicals with the windshield wipers on humbly greeted the gray of the dawn All I know is your hand is still wrapped around mine and my existential side cries "So what? We all die" I know we'll all soon be together singing songs in sunny weather taking in the air that's better than it has been in forever

Criminals 02:45
All my good years Slipping away Just like today All of my days Sliding away Like a criminal down the alleyway All of my years Wasted with you Not wasted at all All my good years Slipping away Just like today All of my days Sliding away Just like Bonnie and Clyde Making their getaway All of my years Wasted with you Not wasted at all All of my years Wasted with you Not wasted at all

I’m tired of my excuses Just like everyone around me And I really wanna do this But I feel like I am flailing, man Leave my faith in my good friends Cover it up with a talented band I’m sorry I’m bad at everything Everything It’s not that I am tired I’m just feeling so self conscious And I wish that I were better But this is not performance, man Open wounds in open hands Open chords and a talented band I’m sorry I’m bad at everything Everything Leave my faith in my good friends Such a shame such a talented band I’m sorry I’m bad at everything, everything
