"Has Potential"
Verse 1:
What do I do now? What do I do now?
How did I make it here? How did I make it anyhow?
I'm terrified, I'm scared inside
I've never felt more alive
It's kinetic and cathartic
I'm going to have a heart attack
Chorus:
You say I have potential
So much potential
And I don't want to disappoint you or fuck it up
Can't fuck it up
Verse 2:
You believe in me, are proud of me
So much pressure to succeed
What if I don't make it, there is no way to fake it
Glad for opportunities
Lucky I'm allowed to be
Anything and everything, it's up to me, it's up to me!
Chorus

"This Summer In The Goldmine (California Edition)"
Verse 1:
This is it another end
Leaving one more home again
Sunny Santa Barbara for who knows
I should take a break and take sometime
But in this state I need to shine
I've got ideas, but then again who knows
Chorus:
This is the summer in the goldmine
And I have so much time
I've got to make this better than the rest
This is the summer in the goldmine
And I have so much time
Got to make this summer the best
Verse 2:
I have so much anxiety
I'm terrified of everything
Leaving school for something new
But I know I could find success
So this summer I should rest
With this type of freedom what should I do?
Chorus

"What You're Capable Of (And How Others Perceive You)"
Verse 1:
I've got to find conviction
I've got to find it now
Or you might choose for me
And you'll tell me how
I've got so much passion
I'm a zesty, shaky mess
Potentially a hand grenade
That needs some fine finesse (so throw me!)
Chorus:
Maybe they know what's best for you
And maybe it's what you want to do
But you want to make it on your own
And make yourself a new home
Verse 2:
I realize that I have some faults
I don't know everything
But let me live, let me go
Or I can't do anything
Maybe you know what's best for me
Bu I have to learn myself
When I'm no longer stubborn
And I'll thank you for the help (so thank you!)

"Kelsey Ray Martins, You're Working Too Hard"
Verse 1:
Kelsey Ray Martins, what is it you do?
You run and you work and you buckle down too
Homework and network, the club fees are due
President and producer, you are one of the few
Chorus:
Kelsey Ray Martins, you're working too hard!
Verse 2:
Kelsey Ray Martins, you're high on your style
A fast talking sweet heart for miles and miles
You win people over with your passionate smile
But your heart's losing ground and you're in denial
Chorus
Verse 3:
Kelsey Ray Martins, you need a break
You've succeeded so much that it's feeling quite fake
And all that you wanted was to be something great
It's your imagination that's truly at stake
Chorus
Verse 4:
Kelsey Ray Martins, please listen to them
Your PAs and interns and family and friends
These dizzy spells will happen again
And you can't care at all and you can't give a damn
Chorus

"This Song Is Stupid & Dumb"
Verse 1:
I feel like I failed
And I should just quit
If this is so easy
Why have I had enough of it?
I'm writing in circles
And aiding the mess
Making nothing of value
And I feel worthless
Chorus:
Because I'm stupid and dumb
and I'm stupid and dumb
Verse 2:
Let's dance to our failures
Let's quit for awhile
Let's take a break
Make quitting in style
we can't always win
Or make beautiful art
Let's lay down our keys
And tear this shit apart
Chorus:
Because I'm stupid and dumb
and I'm stupid and dumb
Coda:
Stupiddddddd!

"Castle In The Sky"
Chorus:
The castle in the sky is mighty high
And it gets a little further every single time
And it implodes and then explodes...
Verse 1:
What went wrong oh what went wrong?
Did the plot anticipate the theme of this song?
And did it fall apart? It just fell apart...
And every little thing we said had good intentions
And the whole hearted promises we would mention
Didn't come true, I didn't pull through...
Chorus
Verse 2:
Now I make films and baby you make films
And when I see your film I get real still
It's all right there, lying bare...
You really meant something it's clear to me
And at times I do miss you to a great degree
Could we make amends, rebuild again?
Chorus

"I Know I Should Be Happy"
Verse 1:
I know I've had success
and I know that I've done well
But why does my brain still tell me
That everything is hell
Chorus:
I know I should be happy
Really really happy
I know that I should be happy
Really really happy
Verse 2:
If I wasn't self-destructive
and filled with guilt and shame
for being where I am
and wanting all this fame
Chorus
Verse 3:
I know that I feel broken
I know you feel the same
That's why we all connect
It was meant to be this way
Chorus

"Beaming With The Bleach From Your Blonde Hair"
Chorus:
It feels good to sleep with you
To sleep in 'til the afternoon
To shrug off all my plans cuz I don't care
Verse 1:
I get anxious with plans I can't forget
But darling with you, baby you are it
We'll lay out on the beach and just drink beer
Chorus
Verse 2:
We we're hanging out at night watching zombie films
Despite of our classes we still were thrilled
We talked of the significance of each scare
Chorus
Verse 3:
I'm amazed by your lack of motivation
But really I'm in love with your education
Beaming with the bleach from your blonde hair
Chorus

"Has Potential (Reprise)"
Verse 1:
I'm trying real hard, but I've got to try harder
With all of your love I know I can go farther
I know I can't forget, nor can I conceive
Of any future greatness without what you've given me
Chorus:
You say I have potential
So much potential
And I don't want to disappoint you or fuck it up
Can't fuck it up
