Broke your lead with your division, an answer that doesn't exist
Hung your head in indecision, when did it come to this?
Pressed the penny to the pavement, never bought the luck it wrought
Why do we want the ones that hurt?
Why do we want the ones that hurt the worst?
You can lie in thoughts unwritten underneath my right hand thumb
You can lie in stacks of paper, never know what words you won
You can lie in shorthand wonders, bite the pen and keep arms still
You can lie to your own order, you can lie with your own will
Cracked your skull against the sidewalk, left a scar upon your jaw
The same one was traced in silence, ignoring the blindness of the fall
And I acknowledge that I may have been the one to trip first
Why do we want the ones that hurt the worst?

High Anxiety

I'm sick of wasting my time worrying about thoughts in my mind
High anxiety, high anxiety
I'm sick of giving myself a nervous shock to my health
High anxiety, high anxiety
You don't control me
Oo, ah, ah, OH!
And though I lay my armor down, no you don't wear the crown
High anxiety, you don't have a handle on me
We'll live together instead, comfy cozy in my head
High anxiety, we'll coexist peacefully
You're just a part of me like my toes and my fingers are!
Anxiety and I sitting in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Anxiety and I, walking down the beach
Whispering sweet nothings
Forgetting all the nothings
Cause all of it is nothing

Alaska

The bottle almost empty, it went straight to her head
She cradled you in envy, you wished for her instead
Was it her eyes that night dancing in your mirror?
Was it her lips that lied before they locked on yours?
Maybe you weren't meant to know
Lately in my sleepless nights I'm waiting on a sign
But when it comes it never stays
And lately I've been searching for my peace of mind
I'll spend my time looking for Alaska
"To be continued..." uttered in the dark
She held your heart in fire and you lived for that burn
Was it her curve that moved you to be a better man?
Was it her words that taught you to never understand?

Infectious
03:21

At best I have a knack for rhythm and words that give you the blues
But now I want to write something that shakes your hips and taps your shoes
What's luring you in? You're like a fish to a worm with your car stereo
I want to make you listen but you'd much rather tune in to your radio
Why can't I be infectious like the songs you long to hear on your radio?
There's a catch to being catchy and I don't know the secret-- do you?
I want to be more pop than Pepsi and I think that's saying something
Don't you?
What makes your heart tick when you hear the latest hits on your car stereo?
If I long to be great why do I hesitate?
I want to heighten your reflexes and the tingle in your fingers
Make you forget the world a second and write a verse that lingers
In your head
Forever

Take away these bloodshot eyes
Take away this sorry prize
For being on my own too long
For being her's in the wrong
It can sound like every other song
As long as you sing along
These floors are lonely, these nights are long
And at this point I don't give a fuck
Take away this car I drove
Abandoned hope left on the road
Take away my only shot
Cause you can't take away what I haven't got
Take it away, take it away
Take my only shot
Take it away, take it away
Cause it's what I haven't got

Urge Surfer is an electro-pop project with my friend Jordan and this is our debut album. All tracks were written via email and recorded at Jordan's house. Totally different from Stress Dolls!
