Lyrics Brave as a Noun + Survival Song - AJJ

I could go off the deep end
I could kill all my best friends
I could follow those stylish trends
And God knows I could make amends
But I've got an angry heart
Filled with cancers and poppy tarts
If this is how you folks make art it's fucking depressing
And it's sad to know that we are not alone
And it's sad to know there's no honest way out.
I'm afraid to leave the house
I'm as timid as a mouse
I'm afraid if I go out, I'll outwear my welcome.
I am not a courageous man
I don't have any big lasting plans
I'm too cowardly to take a stand
I wanna keep my nose clean.
And it's sad to know that we're not alone in this
And it's sad to know there's no honest way out
In this life we lead
We can conquer everything
If we could just get the braves to get out of bed in the morning.

I broke my fucking promise on a very sharp rock
And I was possessed by something quite unfriendly
And I was haunted by a demon in my sleep
And that's how I learned how to survive.
And I gave a beer to a bum that was drinking
And I gave some sauce to my bestest friends for cooking
And I gave water to all I thought were thirsty
And that's how I learned how to survive
And I gave some money to my bank for safe keeping
And I gave some money to my land lord, because hes a dick
And I gave attention to the TV that was bleeding
And that's how I learned how to survive.
And if you ain't got the doh ray me, boys
If you ain't got the doh ray me
Well, you better go back to beautiful Texas
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennesse
California is a garden of Eden
A paradise to live in or see
But believe it or not, you won't find so hot
If you ain't got the doh rey me
And sometimes we steal our songs from Woody Guthrie
And I bought a resturant for his son named Alice
And I fed false information to the audience
And that's how I learned how to survive
And I give a thank you to my father for not raising me
And I give a finger to my step-father for beating me
And I give props to myself for achieving
Goddamn, I'm glad that I survived
And goddamn I am surprised that I survived
And we just handed you a giant load of gibberish
And I give love to a lover so deserving of it
And I give thanks to all of you for listening
To the story of how we all learned how to survive
