Speakin’ of it, heaven was delicate
Sudden movement could evaporate it, evaporate it
The birth of nothing new
Nothing new, nothing new, nothing new stays old, stays old, stays old
I was up at 3 spending quality time with T3s
Cause my leg was always asleep
So I kept you rooted to me, my personal tree
Then it came to me
A message that flew down my spine
I guess we’re only human after all
Not paradise found but we can paradise now
We’ll make do with what we have
And make things that we do be the things that we have
Sounds like a plan
We can do it together, we all understand
I guess we’re only human after all
Sunny days in my back yard
When my rents had the Sundance
King of lego and lasertag, shootin mega blocks movies on VHS
That’s what I saw, when I was a young animal
Crying over 2 hours of practice ‘cause piano was my goliath
Crowds were like jungles, we moved through them like we moved through the legs of giants
2 stories is shorter than it’s ever been, I can reach three times higher
Thinkin’ of it, heaven was delicate
I guess we’re only human

Hang a left here, streetlight be my guide
I can’t hear the voice telling me what’s right
This is some trip, some ride
I’ve been riding it alone into red skies
Knock on wood, outlook ain’t good
No one survives, that’s understood
You’re doing the best you can
Even if your best isn’t more than
You thought it would be
Laughing I told you not to jinx it
I don’t look good in bad luck
Bad luck ain’t my colour
One too many years takes a toll on your chances
I don’t look good in bad luck
Bad luck ain’t my colour
One too many years I don’t like the look of my chances
If Tyler’s the cowboy on his own trip
Then I am the cowboy stepping in shit
Then I am the cowboy whose horse is at the vet
Whose guns never shoot cause they’re always wet
I’m always looking at a calendar, Karma for my offering
Markin’ days off with a pencil, call it bargaining
Offer up my soul to the future for the altering
Lady luck, show me which seeds need the watering
Don’t ask me what I think of you, I don’t
Don’t ask me if I’ll talk to you, I won’t
I got a plan in mind, and you ain’t in mine
Even if that means I take this trip alone
Hang a left here, streetlight be my guide
I can’t hear the voice telling me what’s right
This is some trip, some ride
I’ve been riding it alone into red skies
Laughing I told you not to jinx it
I don’t look good in bad luck
Bad luck ain’t my colour
One too many years takes a toll on your chances
I don’t look good in bad luck
Bad luck ain’t my colour
One too many years I don’t like the look of your chances
I don’t look good in bad luck
Bad luck ain’t my colour
They’re gonna throw me to the wolves in April
They threw me to the wolves in April
Walked around with a pit in my stomach since April
Didn’t acknowledge it ‘till May
I know there are rivers you can’t cross
I Know all the proverbs but I’m stuck
On what ifs and had beens, healthy levels of detachment don’t help shit, I mean it
Days up on my calendar
Counting ‘till there are no more
Notches ‘till the leather’s gone
Days left for young animal

Wastes Of

Backs to the grass like we share it
Boats idle with no place to be
So much to do, so much time to do it
So time rides the back of the breeze
Good luck finding a matching sock if you don’t sort your shit
Many laundry days spent on thinking over things
Hope the best’s ahead cause Sunday brings
A day of rest, from wasting time
All the best
I’m doing fine, hope you’re living good, I’ll see you when I do
Hours don’t grow in my spring
Catch 12 in bloom, I’m rushing
On loan from botanical
In my yard for the afternoon
It goes fast, we go fast for it
Blink and you’re dead, no bargaining
Hermes at the pump, Chronos on the dial
Charge my card for an extra mile
Alright grab a piece of this, not my goal but good enough
I know what you meant when you said life is just a million bluffs
Wind came, wind went, leaving clouds of cosmic dust
Invest in ash, pick up any piece you want
Life goin’ fast, sped up around the time I turned twenty
Not tryna be last, not waiting ‘till you decide I’m worth it
Quit livin’ like trash, or the city will throw you out on Monday
Life forgot who it’s dealin’ with, point of no return, I speed ahead
I stay awake longer so the moon’s out longer than ever before
It’s not so hard to waste time, not any harder than keeping a bed time
Wake up later, stay up longer
Be productive and work harder
Work’s in style, work’s in vogue
Work’s the look you gotta own
I’m gonna own that look
Watch band match a Greek tan
See spring whenever I want
Gonna own the botanical
And be your what if
Hours grow whenever I want

Hot around my collar get AC on
Rolling down a window never
Hot around my collar get AC on
Rolling down a window never took this long
Feeling sore in C2 means pain that’s gonna be 3D
Culture shock to me too, eyes jumping like ADD
I want to tell you, if my tongue won’t melt off
If my shoes don’t burn off, if that smile stays on
I’m a stones throw from where you left me last season
Look, it’s still me, see, it’s old me, I got the same skin, same teeth
I shoulda double knotted cause I’m double tripping over you
Had to do a triple take, triple check you weren’t dead
Haven’t seen you since my very early days, why’d you wait till now to resurrect
Sunday was a metaphor, you were forever Sundays ago
This Sunday’s up to one-oh-oh degrees, got me limping on the track
Hell is in your sneakers, hell is in three stripes
Hell goes after the weakest, hell if you’re my type
Hell was the second season, hell, I’d take a weekend
Of us in the deep end, while the city’s on fire
Runners on the dashboard, papers for my passport
Finding shade is easy when you’re stuck inside an airport
I’m not one for blood sport, but I’d play for you
If you need me you can reach me when I get north
I’ll be a stones throw away from where you left me last season

Had some hang ups that I’m losing
Life is starting, life is blooming
Got me thinking life don’t have to be a pretty movie
Someday have a Jaiden type, not the rapper, animator type
Talented and caring type
But I’m off the clock, so I’m off till then
I’ll let you ruin my life
No fine print
You’re worth my self esteem
I am your mannequin
Ruin me, you’re worth it
Life ain’t a script
Life ain’t a script
Life ain’t a script
Why am I tryna’ be a pretty boy type, all the parents love me type
Packing me a lunch though I’m not theirs type, Not tryna eat 2 meals at a time
I’ll keep my manners, keep my graces, still say thanks for having me here
But I’m still and I’m not changing, this the learning time of year
Must be my raising, be my upbringing, parents too polite for their own good
Not tryna be rude, not tryna’ be a bitch, but how I are’s bad for my mood
Got me an itch, okay I got five, keep you guessing which is which
I’m tryna make art, not tryna make kitsch, paper’s the quilt, my words are the stitch
Okay, cool it, I’m on it, you got it, that’s my life story, I gave you the plan
We’re the same age, we want the same things, so let’s quit the stalling ‘fore I empty the tank
I’ll let you ruin my life
No fine print
You’re worth my self esteem
I am your mannequin
Ruin me, you’re worth it
I’ll let you ruin my life

What’s he doing, he’s a square, he’s a square
Where’s he going, why’s he there, why’s he there
This ain’t a movie, no premiere, no premiere
Get him back in line, we smell his fear, smell his fear
Mood’s changing faster than method actors
Try hard but I’ve never been much of a singer
I’ll make the mold fit if I have to
These are the best years of my life
Go and try that, go and try that,
50 on a bet he’s all talk and no game
Got no aim, got no name
Chained to the sink, he’s a freak for it
I’m in the kitchen, I’m on the drink
I’m on the island, I’m on the sink
Who am I kidding, I’m on some fiction
Make it happen little one have some conviction
You’re indestructible, ready like a launchable
Just as irresistible, dare say irreplaceable
Never been a missable, doubt is inadmissible
You’re a king, you’re the man
(Young,) So why’s it feel like I’ll die alone
(Young,) so why’s it feel like life is overblown
(Young,) So why’ve I been thinking of my memory
Unmade in what’s to be, to be another
(Unknown,) Thirst rising faster than the tides
(Known,) Have my drink ready when I arrive
(Young,) Thought I was above that beast that makes a play for everyone
(Unknown,) Fear guide me to the light
Okay, on second thought
I’m boutta spill my guts
Not talking liquid I’m-
Talking ‘bout – wait hol’ up
Okay on second thought, I’m boutta spill my guts
Not talkin’ liquid I’m talkin’ ‘bout wait, hold up
Okay on second thought, I’m ‘boutta spill my guts
I’m insecure as fuck, I don’t know what I want
I wanna live it up, I wanna, I wanna
Make peace with my reflection
Kill the urge for correction
Kill the need for projection
Kill the id and be perfect
This is my victory lap, watch the relapse
I don’t relax, If I’m working it’s till I collapse
Grindin’ my ass
Till there’s nothing but the hip bone, harder than flintstones
Skipping pebbles into pools of Jack Daniels
No Spidey senses guiding me, Solo cups ain’t pokeballs
Runescape didn’t prepare me for learning how to mix drinks
Three parts corona, two parts gin
One part down the middle of a sweaty face
Little virgin bears the stain on a white shirt
Speakers got the boom, pupils like the moon
Middle of June, does he make two-two
Young animal finds out soon

This isn’t nirvana but I put my best shirt on
Blood boiling, it takes courage to dance with the lights off
Even though I can’t, I can’t dance too well
You been on my radar, I’m gonna see you around
You been on my radar
You been on my radar
I’m gonna see you around
I’m gonna see you around
I’m gonna see you around
I’m gonna see you around
Blue nights to stack like lego
Blue lights good for the ego
Blue nights to stack like lego
Blue lights good for the ego
Life is a demanding job
We’re all shedding the stress off
Loving you is way too hard
Who put you in my description
Blue nights to stack like lego
Blue lights good for the ego
One too many late nights got me beat, need some rest
Talking hibernation not a night of sleep
I say I wanna get real for fun but ain’t no fun to get real
I say I wanna shake hands with the big man who I don’t know is real
This one’s important
Keep my heart on the right track
I could be that handshake
I could be real
This isn’t nirvana, but I put my best shoes on
And tap into the courage of my blood, it’s dancing with the light’s off
Even though I can’t, I can’t dance too well
You been on my radar
So guess what
I’m gonna see you around
Show me your love
Show me your love
Show me the love

You’re my level
You’re my destination if you believe it
You’re sugar
I’m a smoothie let’s mix
Feeling kind of sick
Immortal if they love it
Lazarus pit
I’ll do tricks for them
I don’t wanna let them eat me
Mommy don’t let them cut me
Feeling like bacon
Skip the pig
Wasn’t a chance since day one
Destined to die in tap shoes
Feeling like pigge in makeup
You fine people
You destroy me
Everything is for you
Everything that I do
You fine people
You destroy me
Everything is for you
Everything that I do
This only ends one of two ways
And I’m too ripe for old age
Mommy don’t let them take me to the shed
You’re my level
You’re my destination if you believe it
You’re sugar
I’m a smoothie let’s mix
You’re my level
You’re my destination if you believe it
God let me reach ‘em
God let me be their pig

Who’s that lookin’ in the mirror
Who’s that tryna’ be clearer
Who’s that looking for reflections tryna’ get loopy on love
Who’s that lookin’ in the mirror
Who’s that tryna’ be clearer
Who’s that looking for reflections of love
What’s he chasing, what’s he chasing for?
Call me young animal huh
Young animal sit
Young animal run
Young animal chase
Call him young animal huh
Let him young animal sit
Let him animal run
Let him young animal chase
Who’s that lookin’ in the mirror
Who’s that tryna’ see clearer
Givin’ away all my eleven-elevens but no one’s giving me theirs
Who’s that lookin’ in the mirror
Who’s that tryna’ see it clearer
Who’s that chasing for love?
Who’s that chasing for love?
It’s young animal
It’s young animal
It’s young animal
It’s young animal
We could last as long as celebrity weddings
Loving you ain’t in my job description
This is my victory lap
Watch me reprise, watch me relapse
Chill Danaerys, do you want me well done?
Life’s about the passing grade, we’re about fun
I’m glad I cracked my phone screen ‘cause it happened with you
I can get another one but I won’t have another you
It’s the same things for love
It’s the same things for love
It’s not enough if it’s the same things for love
It’s not enough
It’s not enough

What if we’re dying, and this is our dying breath
Does that mean we created everything here and there
Does that make us rulers here?
Are we rulers here?
Cause being here is always changing truths
I tried surrender
I tried to fight
I tried aimless walks as if walking might-
Thinkin’ if,-- I walk enough I’ll find new balance
Here take this crutch, that idea’s worth it
It’s worth it
Cause—your friends don’t hit you back
And it’s been a few days
Your mind starts to race
You think they, hate, you
So you leave it at that,
And they don’t hit you back
Now they’re endless
And that’s how you remember each other
And, -- healthy levels of detachment don’t help shit
I’m too invested
And, -- I’m changing moods faster than method actors
And,-- I guess we’re only human after all
And, -- Days left for young animal?
Who am I kidding, I’ll be who I’ll be
All this talk about change, it’s fiction, it’s fucking worthless(luss)
Young animal in the driver seat, flooring it like surplus
Hoping that a tree could pop up in the road
Live fast, live fast,
Die before you’re old
You’re still that kid obsessed with super smash bros
You’re still that kid obsessed with runescape
You’re still that kid who plays card games
Just older now, just older now
Do whatever you want
Cause,-- no one gives a ---
Except your parents
Maybe your close friends
Cause then maybe,--
Maybe that’ll make you endless
Maybe then you’ll be recurring
World won’t make you endless
Only you make you endless

Though I have just as much nostalgia with Volume Alpha, I think this one is a little more nostalgic for me. I was primarily a creative mode player cause I sucked at survival mode for a while and I played the console versions a lot. It was not until quarantine came around that I played survival mode often. I own the CD and I pre-ordered the vinyl cause I love this album.
