CHECQZ MIX

Nefermose thumbnail
Nefermose This album further develops the growing potential of an independent pop punk artist with more experimentalism and incorporation of harsher elements from hardcore punk and soulful inclusions from blues and hard rock in several songs. The production and composition has only refined and there are lovely rhythmic and thematic elements that really shine in the harmonies and lyrical structure. Favorite track: House Sweet House.

Lazy afternoon I choose to waste away down in my room cause I'm gonna stay here for a while Avoid the busy world outside, but the front door is still open wide so Maybe I'll see if that's my style The summer sun is setting deep inside my head And I just wanna go to bed I'm surfing through the modern world and it's not free That's all it really means to me Hey TV set, hey internet, so long Just got to find somewhere that I belong Danger's gonna call from the attic to the shopping mall but Let's take it in for just a while A nuclear family apparently was not my destiny but I don't really care, I just wanna smile And if you find bliss in ignorance and I find bliss in ignorance I guess it makes a lot of sense that we ignore each other But now this world's a pretty sight, so maybe I'll do something right One day I'll grow some common sense and stop bouncing the Checqz

18 P.S.I. 01:04
Everybody listen I made my last decision I'm the weakest and the smallest But now I've got a mission I'm gonna be what I wanna be When all the people said I Had to be a nice guy I said screw it, I'm gonna be a pool toy Now what I fear is what fears me To whom this letter concerns, I Never had a chance to talk to mister Checqz myself, but I think he's a pretty swell guy, yeah Well, am I wrong for doing this Does everyone just wanna be something they won't miss? To whom this letter concerns, I Never had a chance to talk to mister Checqz myself, but I think he's a pretty swell guy so Why don't you let him take the job? It's a big responsibility But I think he's the right guy For your 18 PSI

I don't Believe it Until I get to see it My glass Transparent It's leading me astray It's late I give up I really should go home now Back room Cold soda That's where I'll hide away Then you start looking at me with those eyes I don't know what to do but I know that It sounds like a personal problem And I only know one way to solve em How could this get any worse any faster Its gonna be a soda pop disaster-er Call the doctor The fizz The fission It's breaking the illusion Oh snap! I screwed up Should quit while i'm ahead No way! I'm leaving Before they draw conclusions Last sip I'll take it Still breaking character Come on Let's get out We'll ditch the people calling Why can't I think straight With sugar and caffeine Then the pressure starts and it builds in my face And I'm a teenage wreck and I know that It sounds like a personal problem And I only know one way to solve em How could this get any worse any faster Its gonna be a soda pop disaster-er Call doctor pepper

Sanctuary 00:57
She's a mystery And I'm still just a fantasy On some teenager's memory Now I could tell myself That someday I should stop myself, but I still cling to that hope That she's with me And though my methods aren't so clear I'll have my very own deer I think that I'm in love with her But she doesn't know me It's like my brain just isn't there I'm not a sanctuary
5.
POTUS 02:00
I don't like the options There's not much to work with Electing a robot Or an orange spitting lies What makes them so able? They seem so unstable If they could be choices, Then why couldn't I? I wanna be the president I wanna be the president The POTUS is the job that is the best, because I'm gonna be the president I know it won't happen But I can be hopeful And just like the voters, My thinking is wishful Vote wasn't counted Guess write-ins aren't worth it But I'm not discouraged In four years I'll try And it's been my dream for so long At least 'til I thought they were wrong I wanna be the president I wanna be the president The POTUS is the job that is the best, because I'm gonna be the president

Future Me 02:41
I took a ride on the internet today Turns out that yesterday I was not okay Saying stupid things on Reddit, and I'd like to forget about it But everything that I say on the ol' Internet Stays on there all the time until I regret it So, what will I say when I see myself today And all the things I do I think's so cool When I'm really just being a fool and I'd like to forget about it But everything that I leave on the ol' Internet Stays on there all the time 'til I start to doubt it How come one day later, i'm such an idiot? Future me doesn't think that I'm funny Future me still laughs at everything I say I don't care what he thinks, I'll be happy I don't have to deal with future me today Maybe tomorrow

Copycat 01:52
I'm sorry for the things I said I didn't know you would be like that I'm sorry for all the things I do I didn't plan for you to do them too I don't wanna be you I bet you're not gonna make it far I can see it in your repost bar There's one thing you should really do See yourself from another point of view I don't wanna be you You may not be a feline But you must admit you're a copycat I don't want none of that You come around and kick down the door The next second and I'm on the floor You're acting like you're so oblivious I don't know why I'm so serious, it's true I don't wanna be you You may not be a feline But you must admit You're a copycat I don't want none of that!

Bubblegum 02:36
Darling, could you spare a bit of bubblegum for me? Cause I could use a little lifting of my spirits Won't you set the radio to the classics? Darling, could you spare a piece of bubblegum for me? Could you take me to that place and time where I would always feel so fine, say Whoa-oh-oh I feel so good today Whoa-oh-oh I feel so good today Like I don't got a worry in sight And I'm gonna set the record spinning right Til' I pop tonight, let's set it right Oh darling, you could spare a cherry bomb for me? Cause I could use a little signal that I'm right No I don't wanna fight now so, Please, darling, could you spare a little happiness for me? We could take a walk down the Pacific To put it more specific, I'd say Whoa-oh-oh I feel so good today Whoa-oh-oh I feel so good today Like I don't got a worry in sight And I'm gonna set the record spinning right Til' I pop tonight, let's set it right The Rock and Roll's got our feet moving The dance floor's gonna keep us grooving Into the good old times and good old days And we will be so happy, together and so sappy We're moving to the music far away Whoa-oh-oh I feel so good today Whoa-oh-oh I feel so good today Like I don't got a worry in sight And I'm gonna set the record spinning right Til' I pop tonight, (gibberish) Whoa-oh-oh I feel so good today

She She doesn't want it to make sense She doesn't care about progress She leads him on, he's too far gone, but He He's always overreacting He always thinks she'll ignore him Well, it's not a lie if he's always right, so what's he gonna do? I guess he didn't get the girl (as if he wanted to!) I guess he didn't get the girl (as if he wanted to!) She comes around again He knows he can never win so Looks like the girl's the one who got him! She She's changing moods with the season She's got no rhyme and no reason A rescue dog in the haze and fog, but He He's got no morals or merit He's got the brain of a carrot His heart is plastic and she's ecstatic Now

Hella Crazy 00:58
Well, the world spins around, and I've been stationary I've got '65 problems and you ain't one I jumped on the wagon, but I'm no legionary I'm gonna take my leave, gonna have some fun These city walls can't hold me down! Hey hey! I'm running away You're never gonna find me I hope you don't hate me Hey hey! I'm running away tonight!

Riches 02:33
Now I don't need the money And I don't want the fame I don't need everybody Out there to know my name I'm still too young for love And I think I'd rather wait But there's one thing I can think of That would make me feel so great I don't want all the riches Or sweet things in the world I just want a million dollars Is that too much to say? No I wouldn't say I'm greedy I would say that I'm just poor And I know that money won't fix me But I don't know that for sure Oh, if all the kings and queens out there The pop stars and celebrities Would spare a dollar for me Well, I know that I'd get there I don't want all the riches Or sweet things in the world I just want a million dollars Is that too much to say? I don't want all the riches Or sweet things in the world I just want a million dollars Is that too much to say? I just want a million dollars Is that too much to say? I just want a million dollars Is that too much to say?

My room feels like a prison cell If you saw, you'd get the parallel Cramped conditions for the dog I want to be Punk rock posters on the wall Make me look like a neanderthal Pizza boxes, soda cans Under my seat A house that's not a home Sometimes it's so alone But with my couch and television It's such a good distraction, so I just Wake up And sit up And give up And stomp the floor I screw up So shut up And grow up And slam the door Returning to where I confide In the attic by the algaecide At least I'm not caught up in the arguments and flak Partaking in the summer air Makes me feel like I'm a millionaire Take a stroll outside and I'm never looking back A house that's not a home I swear it's so alone You don't have to pick sides as long as you Never pick a fight and so I just Don't talk And don't move Don't argue And say I'm done Just kick back And relax I'm so bored I'm having fun
