i think i say I’m quitting drinking every other week but it’s so hard to stop when it’s the only thing that lets me sleep and im so scared cause all my moneys gone and i can barely walk but it’s okay, because at least it makes it easier to talk Bm E A D please dont think that I am just some drunk because i am, but lets be honest that seems pretty punk but punk is lame, and im so tired of it all so let me die, and ill see you at my funeral D F#m G A 6 AM I wake up and I have some awful shakes i go to wash my face, but all i see is someone that I hate and I’m so scared, cause all my love is gone and I can barely feel but it’s okay, they hate me anyways, and none of it feels real Bm E A D please dont think that I am just some drunk because i am, but lets be honest that seems pretty punk but punk is lame, and im so tired of it all so let me die, and ill see you at my funeral

A Bm D A If there was a way to compare you to polonius i think that id be hamlet and id stab you through the curtain and if there was a way to say that I’m ophelia id probably drown myself in flowers just to fucking spite you and when it finally got to having mutual feelings it felt like something i didnt deserve and when it finally got to being on bad terms again i just had decided maybe that was okay Bm D A and that’s okay and that’s okay maybe I’m not okay and that’s okay i’ll be okay

Oh I feel like a woman today Like no one wants to listen to the words I have to say Oh I've been interrupted 6 times today I'll say something and no one hears til a man repeats the same thing Too skinny too fat you don't shave your legs what's up with that? Too skinny too fat you don't shave your legs what's up with that? Oh I feel like a woman today Oh I feel like a woman today Like no one wants to listen to the words I have to say I feel like a woman today Oh I'm so sick of getting yelled at on the street (what up) Hey mami sexy babydoll Keep walkin look at your feet Too slutty too shy you don't wear a bra What's up with that? Too slutty too shy you don't wear a bra What's up with that? Everybody now I feel like a woman today Oh I feel like a woman today Like no one wants to listen to the words I have to say I feel like a woman today

I can't figure you out I want a stable figure to think about But the truth is you are always changing You've lived many lives but you keep on moving I can see you in the audience at the show I can see you making dinner and gathering us around the table But I can only remember seeing you cry Like one time or two times or three times in my life And the data shows that your love for me is unemotional But it's tangible, I can see all the things around me, around me I can always count on you To invite me over to play music in your living room And I love all the ways you try to connect with me And sometimes it doesn't work, but you keep on trying Can't you see all the ways that you love me I can see all the ways that you love me And I can't believe that we've come this far

This song isn’t about you bet you thought it bet you want it to be true But truth is, I could write a thousand songs about things I loved more than you You’re easy to fall for like cracks on the sidewalks but I’ve just been looking for something to die for You make me wanna break stuff and bang my head against the wall And I mean that in the best way possible This song isn’t about what you think it is what you think I’m missing But I gotta get you out of my head, before I make a bad decision Cause I can find you in any single city I go to everywhere And I only fell in love with you because I happened to be here You make me want to bang my head against the wall And I mean that in the worst way possible

I don’t have trouble drinking I just have trouble drinking like normal adults do If I still drank then I would drink like the summer that I graduated highschool Vodka in my basement, 8 people passed out in my bed The night when Kourtney fell out of the treehouse and we all thought she was dead We’re all going to hell for all the jokes that haven’t aged well and if we ever lose ourselves try retracing our steps, where haven’t we looked yet ? And we’ve all moved on now And we all live our separate lives But I became who I am by shedding my skin on those hot summer nights I don’t miss the good old days I don’t miss any certain time or place I just miss the headspace of not having to care about anything at all Cause we were 17 and we thought that we knew everything And now I’m 27 I feel like I know nothing I guess that’s part of growing I guess that’s part of growing I guess that’s part of growing I don’t have trouble sleeping I just have trouble sleeping when I’m supposed to I sleep in late cause I stay up late watching videos of my friends playing music on youtube Cause I miss them when I’m at home And I miss being on the road And when I close my eyes it’s 6am and we’re dancing in my bedroom singing We’re all going to hell, our hopelessness just hasn’t aged well and If we ever lose ourselves try retracing our steps, where haven’t we looked yet? And I can’t wait to get to hell, it’s gonna be one big giant party A summer night in Staten Island, naked and dancing, just don’t start without me

about

3 friends having some fun recording some songs in my garage....

Apes- she/her
Willem - she/they
Max-they/them

The song "Sidewalks" was written in 2014 shorty after I got sober. It never got recorded and I wanted an excuse to learn how to play the keys. Keyboard tone inspired by the large amount of HappyHappy I've been soaking in lately.

The song "Hot Summer Night" was written a little over a year and a half ago. I was listening to Pigeon Pit a lot so I was inspired to put the capo really high on the guitar and "riff" a bit. It's mostly about my hometown of Staten Island, NY and the group of friends I grew up with there.

Dan recorded this with the limited equiptment we have at our house. Any money donated for this album is going to go towards his "studio fund" to get him more equiptment so we can record more fun little projects like this.

Apes of the State full length album is still being mixed/mastered and will be out before the year is over !
