Disaster Plan

Have you stockpiled cans of food?
Do you have an adequate supply of water?
Can you make fire, even with no supplies?
See, I’ve been learning all the rules and
there are two that stand out when I read them
Can you live alone?
How quickly can you make decisions?
See my decision-making process is slow
I go back and forth and back and forth
and back and forth and back and forth again
My deliberation makes me crazy. It makes others crazy too.
I keep calling my mom
to ask her what to do
When the apocalypse comes
When the apocalypse comes
When the world starts to end will you be ready?
When the apocalypse comes
When the apocalypse comes
When the tide starts to rise will you have your ship together?
You see, according to the rules I’ll probably be dead
I can’t seem to live alone
Because I can’t make decisions
So maybe if I save us enough food
I count on you to make decisions
Will I make you crazy?
You don’t have to answer tonight
In fact, don’t tell me, don’t tell me
It’s better left unsaid
I’ll keep saving water
and practice catching fish instead
Maybe if I save us enough food
I count on you to make decisions?
I’m making you crazy.
Baby, please don’t answer tonight
Sweetheart, don’t tell me, don’t tell me
It’s better left unsaid
I’ll stockpile toilet paper
and practice gardening instead

Won't Die Alone

While the world is empty
When this world casts a might swipe
Takes it all away
A lot happening lately
Seemed to drop on our heads
All at once
Like every single day
We all fucked around and ended up
Just where they said we would
And if it would’ve happened
Doesn’t mean it should
Sometime you don’t know shit
Til you step right in it
Don’t let another minute of this pass
Until you change your heart
And we won’t die alone
We won’t die at all
I swear we’re not alone
We’ll leave a future
For those to discover
The world’s fucking crazy
And everything gets a little worse
Don’t let that take you away
Gotta start thinking maybe
If you just keep going for one more day
It might fade away
We won’t die alone
We we die at all
We won’t die alone
We won’t die at all
I swear we’re not alone
We’ll leave a future
For those to discover
We all fucked around and ended up
Just where they said we would
And if it would’ve happened
Doesn’t mean it should
Sometime you don’t know shit
Til you step right in it
Don’t let another minute of this pass
Until you change your heart

Temperatures

I wanna crawl under the covers with you until our temperatures rise
It’s too cold to go outside
It’s too cold to go outside
You press against me and I start to sweat and I get lost in your eyes
I see a galaxy staring back at me
When I’m done with it it’s never done with me I need something real I can reach out my hands and realize the person I’m reaching is you
I’m always wanting what’s beyond my grasp but I don’t want to let go of what I have
I want it all
And every time I think I’ve changed I find myself back here doing the same old goddamn things
I am missing out no matter what I do
Maybe when this moment’s a memory I’ll see I was anxious about things that are probably fine
Baby, I want you to stay with me
The night is dark but your touch ignites sparks
I need you tonight

Talking in My Sleep
03:17
|

Hearts meld, into places
They were never meant to be
Hearts break, into pieces
That’s the price of being free
I heard the sound of my ego breaking
Feels like the ground underneath my feet is shaking
All I want to say is one more thing
You look good, a loosey goosey
A little light oh goodness me
Check mate, had me reeling
That’s the price of being free
I know you said you were asking for the taking
But your kiss was danger in the making
If I could go right back there I would say
Why don’t you spend the night?
I’ll be talking in my sleep
The future looks so bright
And yesterday is so far away
It’s so far away
A sharp look. A whim of fancy.
But who can say it’s not for me?
Let loose in hostile waters
Now the pressure falls on me
I hear you crying when you call me on the phone
I felt like dying in a hole all alone
If I could hit you back my text would say
Why don’t you spend the night?
I’ll be talking in my sleep
The future looks so bright
And yesterday is so far away
So far away…
When I saw you on the street
With a smile that can’t be beat
and I asked you to run away with me
Why don’t you spend the night?
I’ll be talking in my sleep
The future looks so bright
And yesterday is so far away
So far away…

I Should've Called You
03:08

They never told me
It would hurt a lot
Thought I’d step up
And take a shot
They said, “Mister, is that all you got?”
So I spend my life in worry
Send myself to ruin
I bought a big car
Just to load it down
But I’ll see the graveyard
‘fore I leave this town
Will I know love
From underground
If I spend my life in worry
Send myself to ruin?
Can’t you see
That it’s unfair to me?
Just cut me down
So you can go to sleep
You know my promises
I never keep
When I spend my live in worry
Send myself to ruin
Yes, I really want it
I miss my brother
And my family
But I can’t let them
See that side of me
Won’t these people
Just let me be?
So I spend my life in worry
Send myself to ruin
I bought that big car
Just to load it down (hi yoo!)
But it’ll see the junkyard
‘fore we leave this town
And watch the love grow
From underground
If I spend my life in worry
Send myself to ruin
Yes, I really want it
I should have called you
One last time

Just My Love
03:14

There must of been an answer
For what I done wrong
There must have been an answer
Other than the same song
Even if it just all adds up to nothing
Nothing is gonna show wrong
Even if we piss it down the drain
We’ll toast it’s name and sing it along
Running by at the speed of life
No turning round no exit signs
Run aground,
Run yourself down
Run around, out of time
Too much to turn around
Yes I believe it’s just my love
Yes I believe in just my love
Yes I believe it’s just too much
Too much to turn it around
It must have been a salvation
You walking away
There must’ve been a reason
Why you couldn’t stay
Even though that I know, I can’t control it
No matter how hard I try
Even if it keep me awake at night
Wondering why
Round and round, we fall to the ground
Too much to turn around
Yes I believe it’s just my love
Yes I believe in just my love
Yes I believe it’s just too much
Too much to turn it around

Everybody Does

“We should be closer.”
That’s what she said
“We don’t understand about each other."
Called me a loser
That’s what I heard
But I can’t live without her
Tell me why does falling in love
seem such a bad thing?
When everybody does!
You say you love me
Ain’t that a shame?
I can’t understand a single word you
Spoke out against me
Those other days
Or it’s a spell of bold amnesia
So why does falling in love
seem such a bad thing?
When everybody does!
I love you
I need a break
I love you
Everybody does
And if everybody does, are they tripping on heart strings?
I chose love
And wanted to give
I chose love
But wants can change

Through the Doorchain
02:39
|

She said “they told me to stay in my house
And they insisted I cover my mouth
My pantry is empty. My stomach is growling.”
Her voice shakes through the door chain
“Did you wash your hands?”
I pushed past a man sprawled on the pavement
Vultures upon him
People peered through their drapes while the TV complains
The cop screams
“Buddy keep six feet! You better watch whose air you breathe.”
My neighbor bled out in the street last week
While sobbing “no one will touch me”
Their daughter is missing her photo is buried on the bus stop under flyers demanding
“Did you wash your hands?”

Plant the Seed

It was horrifying
When the others said “yes”
But it was me before
Now I’m gonna step aside
It was early on
When my friends showed me
That what you talk about
Controls your life
But it’s ok
To let it show
Plant the seed
And let it grow
Do the best
With what you know
Plant the seed
And let it
We’ll you’re fussing and a fighting about the things you say aren’t true
And I can only wonder what the hell is wrong with you
We can measure out the lies and all the shit that you don’t know
But you believe your words are flawless cuz your momma told you so
It’s ok
To let it show
Plant the seed
And let it grow
Do the best
With what you know
Plant the seed
And let it

Alpha Rabbit Trenton, New Jersey
From the central New Jersey area, Jake Foy, Joe “Dim” Wolstenholme and Jaime Parker flawlessly transition between bass,
drums, guitar, and keyboards, embracing their collective indecisiveness to explore musical genres and reflective themes.
Each brings slightly different styles to the table, but their combined influence creates songs that are dynamic, energetic, fun, and thought-provoking.
