Sharks! On Fire! (free) 03:47
A scholarship named after your grave Everything you do's a mistake Well you just make more work, You just make more work. Fallen angels make mistakes, They're picking on you and all that you make. Did you ever want to cry? Sharks! On Fire! As if to prove you're still alive.

Mike Battlestar (free) 02:08
I won't remember the name of this mix tape by next year. My favorite band turned out to be just like me: Across the street drinking beer Shooting stars at hopes and dreams. We're all liars here We're all friends here (Let's go)

Radio Friendly (free) 03:34
No my friends can't understand that all these bands Sound the same to me! And if there's no regrets in indie rock, Then I think I liked you better then, oh. It's too late, Running way too fast, Running nowhere, Sitting here. At night I scale along the treelines, As far as the leaves will take me. I looked deep into the skyline, To see the leaves trying to get back home to the earth.

Dance-Off (free) 02:18
Drunk and making out With a stranger you just met While we play. Which is better? First impressions only matter to those who don't do anything with themselves. (Well we'd rather have a dance off) Who are we? We're liars. We're trying, To Prove ourselves. GO! We had a dance-off in a thunderstorm. Who are we? I'm just a kid, just a kid. We can only try so hard. I'm just a kid, just a kid. What more do you want!

The Taste Of Water (free) 03:46
Say what you will say, and write it down in books As if to say "You said it first". Well, who cares? Women are forgiven and forgotten all the time So don't write about that shit, no, With your books of rhyme and verse. So I can't see I keep my eyes closed late at night So turn off your city lights So I can't see Who we are or what it means to be, Well, anything at all. And that's why there will always be songs that go a little bit like this. So, say what you will say, and write it down in books As if to say "You said it first". Well, Fuck you! Women are forgiven and forgotten all the time So don't write about that shit, no, With your books of rhyme and verse. So forget your dreams and sleep Don't turn off the radio! Cuz they don't know what we know! And if you forget one song, If it makes you feel any better, Well let it be this one. Won't you let it be this one? Giving thanks with open mouths and closed hearts I'm sick of all of these parts Where I lay in bed with nothing but bland typography in my head Negative spaces and negative thoughts Well I'm doing shots to blur these lines, Descenders, terminals and spines I think I'm forgetting spots Broken hearts and broken tongues will never be out done My fist fell apart in the night When you thought I lost this one. So I can't see, I keep my eyes closed late at night. So turn off your city lights! It's the same goddamn food From the same fucking places The same shitty meals with the same shitty Faces share a name, These people share a name These places share the same name. Well don't you see? Yeah, we forgot it too.

Hot Topic (free) 03:44
Quit your job and dance! I met you on a rainy day in August I've never been quite the same since It could have been the smell of those lilacs Or the sounds of that train Can take me away. Hot topic's in My band has pins So come hang out We'll party right after the show! This van is useless It's parked in the wrong place So if you need a ride, You'll have to find another band! Quit your job and dance! Dreamt about a sunny day in london Guess I've never traveled there before The last time that I won a trip to somewhere else but here Was the last time I saw your pretty face. And you looked away.
