1. Drag Me Down Take a look at yourself And the mess that you’ve left Such incinserity, now you’ve become a pest But it doesn’t matter now, When the words are never clear Once the scene dies down again, We’ll have no reason to be here. Woa-oh I won’t let you drag me down! Sometimes I just cant think straight cuase I cashed my last check but now I’ll wait for something to change yeah anything at all Y’know I need the money but still I’ll dodge your calls Simple shit, we forget why we’re bretahing Getting told everythig I’m believeing is a lie Plead ignorance but I really didn’t know Once every bridge gets burned there’s nowhere left to go Don’t wait for me to Change For less than Mediocre Pay Hey woah And life goes on Hey Wuh Sing the Same damn Song Red One Where’d it all go wrong? Woa-oh I won’t let you drag me down! Sometimes I don’t use my brain I talk without thinking and kill the pain I can’t sing can;t shit on tour Is the the truth that you’ve been looking for? Woa-oh I won’t let you drag me down! — I wrote this during a very awkward and very unemployed point in my life. I was starting to shift my life towards touring, recording and not much else. The “You” in this song was kinda ambigous even to me, but generally it’s about putting out those negative thoughts and breaking your own negative feedback loop. We had some awesome gang vocal sessions on the last day of recording this featuring a lot of random chuds Hudson’s sister was friends with. 2. What's New Y’know it’s hard sometimes For me to realize when it’s only in my mind Words I left behind All those fuckin lies Get lost and I go blind Every time I try to stop and breathe Another 20 problems just pile up on me Yeah it’s become routine They’re all talkin down so it seems Know they’re not gonna stop till they see me bleed But that’s alright with me I’ve been waiting for so long For something good to come along Who am I supposed to be just another dweeb, who only follows lead no it’s not just me, and I’m not gonna plead for you to see me succeed! (What?) I’ve been waiting for so long For something good to come along — In high school I was the kid who was always trying to get people to come to my shows. Not super long ago I overheard someone say “That’s sad that he’s still doing them” or something like that. Fuck em! Hudson does a really good Jackson growl on the last Chorus. —    3. Noise Pollution (Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!) Scene's changin' and it's strange to see That the bands we love fade to obscurity But it's not my fault we're becoming adults Copy-paste bands till the scenes too full Screamin' too loud with a drop guitar What you're really saying is nothing at all Noise pollution ain't a crime Don't you go and waste my fucking time ​ Don't waste my time! Don't waste my time! ​ Every show has the same damn bands With the wasted youth getting out of hand Just going to shows to get high There's no meaning, you're just getting by Yeah, it's predatory, it's the same old story No one gives a fuck if the music's boring Yeah, the scene ain't what I need Don't mind me, I do as I fucking please ​ Don't waste my time! Don't waste my time! Don't waste my time! Don't waste my time! ​ Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup! Pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up! (They fly now!!!!) (CHUDSON SKA PUNK EXPLOSION!) ​ Don't waste my time! Don't waste my time! Don't waste my time! Don't waste my time! ​ — This is a diss on the Skramz/Hardcore scene. I do not like them. — 4. Waiting For The Fall It's a big club and you're not in it Beatdown, from the beginning Fight the power you can't see Don't you know it's a [?] Hold your oath and don't ask why [?] with your religious lies I can't see it, but I can try Save your breath, or waste our time Now I think we've had enough Sheep's clothing's coming off Swear I heard my name get called We're just waiting for the fall It's a big club and you're not wanted Beatdown, till your forgotten Locked inside of the machine But it still feels the same to me Choose your side or take the blame All we've ever known is shame Think too hard, you'll be aware Find no reason to care Now I think we've had enough Sheep's clothing's coming off Swear I heard my name get called We're just waiting for the fall Now I think we've had enough Sheep's clothing's coming off Swear I heard my name get called We're just waiting for the fall We're just waiting for the fall — So when we were on tour, we were staying at Gabe's house in Ozark, Alabama. After a long and "fun" night of NBA Jam, Collin took some melatonin and Noah's sleeping pills to fall asleep. But it turned out they were actually antidepressants. In the morning, Collin collapsed in the bathroom and wasn't really responsive for a while. He ended up fine tho lol — 5. Frat Party In 1975, I walked Bob Dylan up on stage. Who the fuck are you? Open wide and take my disrespect (I don't wanna!) Close your eyes and get a good nights rest (I don't wanna!) Spit it out whats under your breath (I don't wanna!) Take a gamble cmon place your bets (I don't wanna!) What you said as you walked over Im up im up im up im up im up Call me yoko as this is ono Flying up 6ft off the ground My voice shrill I love cheap thrills My head spinning in a mirror maze You drink too much, smoke too much, date too much All too much for a girl to care! Just follow me under my rule (I don't wanna!) You aren’t smart just be my tool (I don't wanna!) Fall apart, come back and combine (I don't wanna!) Im the higher power that you can’t deny (I don't wanna!) (Hogey!!! I wanna Hogey!!!!) I don’t care what you want I only care what you are (I'm an NYU Film School graduate) (Sucka!) Come on baby and fall back down (I don't wanna!) Down with the system and jump like a clown (I don't wanna!) Ablablablabla im insane (I don't wanna!) I'm stuck inside a video (I don't wanna!) Hogey! Damn, that crash out was crazy — This dude called Noah the N-word in Chico so we wrote a diss on him and frat shows. We now avoid playing Frat Shows (And honestly a lot of college party shows) because of the rampant degeneracy and predatory behavior. Shoutout Hoagie Shoutout douglas Levinson. — 6. Batman I wanna be Batman cuz he’s not afraid of shitting in Public Toilets and I’ll avoid it, just like everything that makes me happy anymore This happens all the time I can’t make up my mind and then my head starts spinning I give up and unwind my hope falls to the side and then I just stop thinkng I wanna be batman except maybe without both of the dead parents And it’s apparent that every singe day I’m only walking backwards This happens all the tme I fucking hate my mind and all the same excuses I try to take a stand, deviating from the plan but it’s just all so useless. I wanna be anyone else but me! — Dubbed by Anthony as “The song I’ll skip on a re-listen”. This was the first song we ever wrote as Chudson — 7. Headphone Splitter Didn't sleep well yesterday Or the day before, I think I'm going insane Cuz I can't find someone else to blame Stuck staring at the wall again Thinking of everything you said Instead of getting up and moving on with my stupid little life That's just how it really goes, if I'm being honest then nobody knows If I'll live or die or I'll survive When you're judging me so goddamn harshly So don't hold your breath You won't get the satisfaction Of seeing me down in the end Go fuck yourself Because I know that it's not worth it To embarrass myself yet another time I'll take what's left You won't get man explanation Cuz I can't stop thinkembout Can't stop thinkemboutyouu I'll fall for anything if I can't stand up Because I'm bent on self destruction But maybe I've just had enough this time I try to think about a new escape Got me wondering if those times were really great, Was I even happier then or did I just feel less obsolete So don't hold your breath You won't get the satisfaction Of seeing me down in the end Go fuck yourself Because I know that it's not worth it To embarrass myself yet another time I'll take what's left You won't get man explanation Cuz I can't stop thinkembout Can't stop thinkemboutyouu So don't look back You won't get any reaction You've been looking for all along Just the trends I try to fight Spending my money on a new life Betting on everything to change But I don't know where to aim It's just the same old shit That we all forget You're just another mistake Just waiting for me Just Waiting for me I'll make it up as I go on Write another pointless song But I'll always know that- ah forget it So don't hold your breath You won't get the satisfaction Of seeing me down in the end Go fuck yourself Because I know that it's not worth it To embarrass myself yet another time I'll take what's left You won't get man explanation Cuz I can't stop thinkembout Can't stop thinkemboutyouu Woo! Yeah! Waahhhhh! Visit medicinecabinetmusic.com for more awesome tracks! (yeah) — I have a habit when I get really upset with someone I just muttering Go fuck yourself over and over again to myself. It’s fun to say but it makes you sound kind of insane. The title comes from a training video I watched for my job involving David Schwimmer. — 8. Sparkle My girl, my girl Where have you gone? I’m Getting worries cuz it’s been so long Without you here right by my side Y’know sometimes it feels like I could die. It’s not hard to see - you’re the only one for me But if I’m too late - I’ll just have to wait Waiting for my girl My Girl, My girl What’s happened to you It seems there’s nothing left thta I could do To get you here - right by my side when I know I need to be… Between your thighs! It’s not hard to see - you’re the only one for me But if I’m too late - I’ll just have to wait Waiting for my girl (Solo!) It’s not hard to see - you’re the only one for me But if I’m too late - I’ll just masturbate (Gross!) Waiting for my girl These kids… These kids got talent! Don’t let me be misunderstood Can’t keep me out of the kitchen I’ma say it one more time! — This was actually originally an antibiotics song but I wrote a lot of the lyrics back when I was 13 or 14 (I think it shows) trying to kinda write a corny, stupid and kinda creepy love song. I stole the riff from a youtube demo of the casio DG-20 (I think). We fucked up the part at the end so that’s why I’m just screaming nonsense at the end, truly beautiful. — 9. Watto’s Revenge I know you’ve been waiting for my fall nice to think that you’d even care at all I took my time but I don’t think it’s enough to excuse my lack of trust I’m taking you down- I’m going out swinging I’m taking  you down with me - I’m going out swinging I’ll take my chances you don’t know what this means to me Looking back at everyone I’ve seen You don’t know why I choose to Believe I’m taking you down - I’m Going out swinigng I’m taking  you down with me - I’m going out swinging — We recorded this as a super late acousic session, felt really cool. I strugled with the verses for a really long time becuase despite having the choruses I still didn’t particularly know who “you” was. I kinda figured it out night of recording.
