Profits 02:18
You're on the edge of the last board One more step, before the fall Swimming isn’t easy when the world’s stationed on your back. Memories are like pieces of a crime It’s all broken glass You're on the edge of the last board One more step before the fall Doctoral judgments measuring your worth Charged with credit on everybody’s dime Illusions sold to children and coerced before they’ve made up their minds With fear, of the unknown. When prophets profit Silence is to blame So buyer beware What they sell is the same So make up your mind Don’t judge yourself by anybody else’s time Don’t fear the unknown Live for yourself

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you. Back and forth knowing not what to do. Here I am again choking on my words Left alone with no one here to disturb There was a piece of me that had selfishly left it all alone I was a little bit of a piece of shit with nothing left to show I have been away I’m done today there’s no one here but me I have thought about, done without, that no one here is free Here I am stuck in the middle with you Back and forth choking on the fumes Here I am again counting on myself Left alone with no one here to tell There was a piece of me that had selfishly left it all alone I was a little bit of a piece of shit with nothing left to show I have been away, I’m done today there’s no one here but me I have thought about, done without, no one here is free There was a piece of me that had selfishly left it all alone I was a little bit of a piece of shit with nothing left to show You and me we’re born to be with nobody else What’s stranger than being with them is being by myself I have been away, I’m done today there’s no one here but me I have thought about, done without, no one here is free

Slapshot 01:56
There’s a weight on my chest and I’m getting tired of it. the fate of each step is cracking around me.

 There’s no angel of death There’s no curtain call It’s the end of the world and we killed them all. You crazy fucking thing. Is it you or me? You wasted your time You wasted your life What stops you from leaving I don’t know The breathing around your neck is a signal So run away in cowardice. You swear to god that you know it all it’s the end of days Placing your bets on the Romans heads as they fall away The water keeps rising the boats are capsizing and swept to sea Sit back and relax. Enjoy the wave of anxiety.

I got the heart of a cynic Don’t believe a word I hear So every day I spin it Just to prove my point of view It’s not about winning When the battle lines are drawn It’s about understanding When the moments come and gone Moving on From the difference between what I feel and say Moving on And the only difference was what’s left in between I lost my friend in September To a battle long hard fought It made me so bitter Because nothing was his fault I take a look around me People dying every day From their own causes but he never had a say Moving on And I thought about trying to change It feels so different now Watching people move on Goodbye my friend Away I’ll see you when From me The time has come my moments done that shit was fun Enjoy the silence in the moments of the scene Playing all night 8-hour drives But I’m checking it out and I’m making a change The only difference is what I feel and say

Fuck hope Can’t cope With this constant state of misery Moping in this bed as I’m staring at the wall In hindsight, we highlight and rewrite what makes us all fall But I stop Thinking about all the things that I didn’t do. Life has a way of dropping the other shoe You can stay there Your own personal Hell And simmer by yourself Don't complain then Just swallow the pill. Distract, Attack, and Kill You can stay in your room with nothing to do Crowded with thoughts of impending doom. My doctor said I’m fine but I tend to disagree, I’m seeing funny things Has the world turned against me Or am I just left on my own? My time is up. I self destruct And wonder why I’m sleeping all my future days away Stress eating me alive butter bathed in sunlight You can stay there Your own personal Hell And simmer by yourself Don't complain then Just swallow the pill. Distract, Attack, and Kill

Lori Meyers 02:03
Lori Meyers used to live upstairs Our parents had been friends for years Almost every afternoon we’d play forbidden games At 9 years old there’s no such shame It wasn’t recognition of her face which brought me back it was a familiar mark that flashed across the screen I bought some magazines Discriminating acts I thought that I could save her. Who the hell are you to tell me how to live You think I sell my body I merely sell my time I ain’t no Cinderella I ain’t waiting for no prince to save me in fact until just now I was doing just fine and on and on I know what degradation feels like laying on the floor of the factory I worked long before I took control. Now I answer to me. The 50k I make this year will go anywhere I please. What’s the problem

Well it's a setup Keep your head up Because the only thing that’s real Is the way that we all feel like Nothing’s gonna change Isolated from the world As we entertain ourselves Awake from this grave I love I arise from the ground And this is who we've left to A twisted confused lemming crew Slowly marching towards the cliff And I don't care You take a little piece of me I'll take what was mine Sometimes it takes a year or two to figure out what's right You take a little piece of me I'll take what was mine Sometimes it takes a year or two to figure out what's right Your second chance has been scheduled The train is almost full Is this how you’ll leave it all Undefined like a fool? Lend me your ear Facing your fears Driving the road with no lights to steer clear If you wanted more grab it by the throat Don’t take what they offer just take what you’re owed You take a little piece of me I'll take back what was mine Sometimes it takes a year or two to figure out what was right The credits are rolling, the show's almost done I’m writing the sequel in crayon for fun The next time you see them, make them run I know who I am now a Next-gen slacker of one

Clever Girl 02:19
But how could you trust me When I can’t trust myself The fussing and fighting It’s like you’re someone else A sense of shame lingers a stigma To live in pain, over prescriptions Lacking in quality breaks a piece of me Off into the sea, sinks my empathy But how could you trust me, when I can’t trust myself The fussing and fighting, it's like you’re someone else I could say I don’t care and pretend I’m fine But I must not tell lies. Before, I was thrashing and thrashing my head against the wall trying to get the words out. Before, waking and baking was the only way not to make my skin crawl off. But how could you trust me, when I can’t trust myself The fussing and fighting, its like I’m someone else I could say I don’t care and pretend I’m fine But I must not tell lies.

about

The first full release album by Louisiana natives Odie.

Personal struggles both external and private line the lyrics and music of this 10 song album.

The heavy mood of the album is based on depression, loss, anxiety, and the ever retaining of hope through misery played over compositions designed by the exhausting emotions themselves.

We bled, we didn't sleep, and we played it all.
