Lagwagon - Violins.
Lagwagon - Made Of Broken Parts (Official Video) Hang is concoction of Hoss, Trashed, and Blaze, seasoned with Duh’s metallic overtones and Let’s Talk About Feelings’ strong sense of melody, and finished off with a progressive character as yet unseen on any previous release. Lyrically it’s a stunningly substantive commentary on the modern world, written through the lens of a lifetime of visceral experience.

The Examiner 2014-03-02Lagwagon is an American punk rock band originally from Goleta, just outside Santa Barbara, California. They formed in 1990 and went on hiatus and reunited several times over the years. Their name comes from the band's tour van, which can be seen on the back cover of their 1994 second album Trashed.
The band has 10 releases through Fat Wreck Chords: seven studio albums, one EP, one live album and a collection of B-sides, compilation tracks and demos. Lagwagon has never had, nor have they seemed to pursue, strong mainstream success, but they do have a devoted underground following in North America, Europe and Asia. Their moderate success reflected a growing interest in punk rock during the 1990s, along with fellow California bands Rancid, Green Day and The Offspring. Unlike the last two aforementioned bands, however, Lagwagon has never been signed to a major label.
i kinda doubt about it i'm kinda sick about this feeling
talking brings it up i'm kinda short on feelings
i kinda got the feeling that i'm losing everyone
could this be all could it linger anymore
but what an endless fall there's no use to call it off
so i'm rolling down the stairway
and i'm giving in these thoughts sound angry talking
brings it out so now i doubt about it
i'm kinda sick about this feeling drinking brings it up
i don't even know why i shouted out
i'm the one whose feeling doubt...
again i kinda doubt about it i'm kinda sick about this feeling
talking brings it out could this be all could it linger anymore
in an endless fall there's no use to call it off
i don't even know why i start it all
i'm the one whose feeling doubt yeah,
don't even know why i start it all
Maybe it's not funny but it's true
No one here's suprised but you
Embellish it, the truth is your a slave
Addicted to it's escalating
And your love story's bad
Drama makes you livid and the nervous always laugh
I'm fresh out of advice
And sick of standing in this harms way
Interstae, indebate,
An impasse
Driving out the hope and gas
Arriving at the same mute conclusion
This destination failure
This going, going
Nowhere slow
Drama is exhausting and I'd rather be alone
I want better friends
I'm sick of giving in to harms way
And so are they
Sick of being around something that's destined to fail
And the sume of its parts cannot see
They make me hate life, hate
Friends, hate being there
I know that it's not funny but it's true
No one gives a shit but you
Maybe I'll just swallow all these thoughts
Can't believe Alison's disease
Florescent, the storelights describe the end
and i can't forget it
Demons can return. He caught up with her.
Murderous hands cripple her eyes and mind
and I can't blink so
Hail defeat. It's reached everyone.
Plague generation, our last one.
The sun will rise again.
Not for Alison
That's what I see when I look in her eyes
and I can't breath so
Hail defeat. It's reached everyone.
Plague generation, our last one.
Maybe I can piece together five cold days in
late December. Stories of a monster swallowed in
a snow covered Lake Tahoe. Shining in her desperate despair,
Alison was there. A moment I can freeze but she can't
be the same person se used to be.
Alison is gone. Alison is gone. Alison is gone.
And Alison resides on that frozen mountain side.
Thats what I see when I look in her eyes
Don’t call it a movement, there’s other ways of saying it
Call it brown cable and I’m laying it down
Big and brown, leaving it where it counts, fat amounts
Blazin’, a butt raisin dingleberry, yes my butt is hairy
Every nation a-backing ‘em out, come on everybody let me
hear you shout
I’m gonna back one out
Momma said back one out
I’m gonna back one out
Momma said back one out
Splotchin’, there’s no stopping, it’s coming down and the
smell is rotten
Pain, I musta ate Draino, Mount St. Helens, ass volcano
Burnin’ like hot lava, I got the runs ‘cos I drank too
much Java
Ouch, that sensation is not the runs I got constipation
I’m gonna back one out
Momma said back one out
I’m gonna back one out
Unemployment is my scene
Brain dead - the fumes I breath
Blah Blah Blah BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla
Carp is a town, not a fish
Too dumb to care
The S.B.-Goleta connection
Feelin' like a champion
All aboard the lagwagon
It's fast enough for me
Slow
Me-and-my friends
on the couch
Give me a sofa and some snacks
The idiot box-that T.V. trash
The V.C.R.-some stupid films
The remote control
Fuck the bills
There's no point in a job
The pay just sucks if you're a slob
I'm not lying
I'm lazy
and all my friends are just like me
(Chorus)
Garga jibs and metal riffs
Beer bings and bing hits
I hate that scene
Santa Barbara boredom
Goleta-postmortem
Small town minds
can you relate to me?
(Repeat Chorus)
All aboard the lag wagon!!!
if you could say something that fascinated me
the air in your small world might clear to breathe lamens terms
king of fools illiterate you'd rather be in this back seat
playing to the gallery and they remember all their lines
they all remember the dirt i'm through humoring you
i am learning to hate you it's true i'm through
humoring you i've been drinking and sleeping
my enemies' holiday ends
identified we speak untruths
because there's strength in numbers forced to relate
in a world depraved identify along
we speak in tongues give me lamens terms
the air in this small world might clear
but they won't remember you they will remember the dirt,
the joke i'm through
humoring you i am learning to hate you it's true
i'm through humoring
you i've been living and dying
my enemies' holiday ends
lamens terms king of fools walk with you walk with you
Look at the world in disbelief
You used to follow - now you lead
College has enlightened you
And you are proud to be different
And like different bands - different types
You ain't nobody's fool
It's like certain bands remind you of someone you hated
'Cause they didn't wear the right clothing
And there's only one true fashion
Alot of the bands on the college charts are great bands
Until they get signed. Then you hate them
It's such bullshit - you used to love them you hypocrite
I remember you and I listening to bands that we liked
Only the songs mattered to you
But now you're a D.J. and preaching that hype
"Corporate Rock Sucks"
"You know, college radio enlightens you"
It's supposed to serve as a means to expose new bands
Without prejudice, but it makes no sense
Safe harbor for the underground
'Til the alternative becomes the popular sound
The bands are good 'til they make enough cash
To eat food and get a pad
Then they're sold out and their music is clich©
Because talent's exclusive to bands without pay
Know it all - Did you really listen to that song?
Unemployment is my scene
Brain dead - the fumes I breath
Blah Blah Blah BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla
Carp is a town, not a fish
Too dumb to care
The S.B.-Goleta connection
Feelin' like a champion

i remember well holding him down
silent under due his torture tortures me now
pounding the mold ??? why did they put jimmy johnson in a prison,
didn't belong in some new school
he might find others just like him
obviously he's retarded (look at your kids)
look at what they see
focus on an easy target
torment the freak one golden rule children are cruel
no one here's more jimmy johnson
but where the kids are rotten
jimmy make us proud
jimmy johnson our brother and only son
so sorry please forgive us
for all that we done
we thought it would be best for you
if you could coexist
And now you're searching for that new messiah
It's your greatest passion, to set'em up and knock'em down
Put them on a pedestal idolatry, wear the ring you're married
It's all yours to their envy, because you hold a higher key of senses
And they are drawn like magnets, to a genius, it's confirmed
Set'em up and knock'em down, tour taste is so accountable
This is no great loss, and sharing never was a choice
It's burning on your cross, it gives you credit and a voice
Here to relay tour beautiful ideals vicaruiously through them
And when he died too many were sympathetic, and they are all pathetic
So you dethrone your king, without listening, without ever listening
And Jesus Christ is realized, as he burns on your cross
But this is no great loss, another one will come
The wait is short the search is brief, you find another faith,
another clark kent, another superman, flashing in the pan
And now you are searching for that new messiah
He doesn't know what he's gonna say,
Put in the unit to deplete Ozone Layers,
Unemployment is my scene,
Brain dead - the fumes I breath,
Put in the unit to deplete Ozone Layers,

I fucking hate that scene

Goleta-postmortem
Small town minds,
Can you relate to me?
All aboard the lag wagon (repeat 9 times)
Laggin'!
Can you please slow down, please?
Stop!
Can you please slow this thing down, please?
Stop!
Can you please slow this down?
I just lost my job
I just lost my girl
Things are getting way out of con(trol)
But my living proof is writing me
Thrust me down,I'll never leave
Over head and guilt tv
Im burn't out and lazy
Looking, dwealing, fuck me
Look at my cat, why can't I live like that
All of the animals except a few
Do nothing else but eat and shit
Yesterday was not the time
In my belt, in my mind, I'm lazy
Hey chief, how's the status puddle?
Is it hard to hold your bad breath?
How's the picture-perfect likeness?
Nice frame for the way you see yourself.
Smile.
Look into the blaze of our old school.
Denial.
Nice move.
The hundred meter rhythm;
you always go the distance.
A memoir shared in our honor.
Nostalgia's under-current;
it must be such a burden.
You see them on the way down stream.
I followed and dated the road I hated.
This farewell in lieu of the letter I shoulda...
I'll never be able to withdraw the message sent.
The status pool defines you;
the photos will remind you.
You reinvented your minor world...
and drove into town.
Bite the hand feedin';
leave it bleedin'.
Go and be able;
earn your label.
I heard you were better than the letter from some long-forgotten friend.
Inbred.
Hey chief how's the karma struggle?
Is it hard to hold your bad breath?
How's the picture-perfect ending?
Nice frame for the way you see yourself.

See you on the way back to your school.
I'll see you on the way to our old school.
So please leave the light on after you've gone
Leave the pictures in their aging frames up where they belong
Leave the bed sheets unclean and they will reek of you still
Cover me in resolve
So please leave the imagery
I can twist it
Dissociation and obsession
Superstition and pain
I can carry them on too and
Bury you once again
I could bring this memory back to life
I'd apologize
I live to hear you say what they can't
I would make amends
They'd all love to have you back but...
No more waiting on them
As you sink inside your room
Your environment changed
It changes your perspective too
There's no gain in failure
As you succeed at being theirs
Take a liberation
Take a cheap ride to the moon
Liberate yourself from them
You haven't changed
You've just grown out of them
And you saw what they can't see
In truth, it took you far away from them
And now it chews your stomach
As you bleed
An artist would
She will stand beside you, no doubt
But you'd think by now you'd figure her out
Take a step to Venus
As the truth stands in the way
She's still here to remind you
They never cared
They've just grown out of it
As they all can plainly see
In truth, you've pushed them far away from you
Away from you
Uncertainty
A foundation built on nothing I could see
Secure in your immaculate perception
The last resort I thought I'd ever exercise
Now, all that I have to stand on
Grieving from a different point of view
I learned it's meaning from you
In life and death
And continue
...But faith is just a
Silent tribute
Mine is just a desprate act
Give him back
I owe him
Throw me a line, I'll suspend
My disbelief
And concede
Following your lead
Faithfully
Led into this concession with hope and doubt
A seemingly futile gesture
My faith is just a silent tribute
This just a desperate act
Holding on
It's just this desperation that
By now you should find your mouth
By now you should call me
We can work it out
I fallow it until the end of concession
"a falling out" I heard from them
There's no discretion
I'm burning out on this
By now you should be in a better place
And thinking for your self
It's not your axe to grind
And this is my latest confession
I hope you hear about it
Victims I know the saints come to call
And bring you obsession
To save you from your fall
Victim I know it wont be long
'till one worth possessing
Is one you'll never reach
Swallow it until the end
Of our concession
I'm sure i'll hear from you
Through them
There's no discretion
I'm burning out on this
And this is my latest confession
I doubt you'll hear about it
It's only indecision
This is your latest condition
I hope you hear about it soon
It's always timing that divides us at heart
She wanted something more, I wanted a new start
In a world depraved, some of us lost can still be saved
We only learn from the chances that we take
I look in your eyes as if you knew (Oh, oh, oh)
It's tough to live without you (Oh, oh, oh)
I don't have to have you as long as you are near (Oh, oh,
I just feel better when you're here
So give me a chance
I hardly even know you, but just the same
This infatuation drags me down
I need your strength to make it thru my life
It's not like I'm asking you to be my wife
Still, I look in your eyes as if you knew (Ah, Ah, Ah)
It's tough to live without you (Ah, Ah, Ah)
I don't have to have you as long as you are near (Ah, Ah,
I just feel better when you're here
Don't leave me hanging on to the rope without a fight
Give me a chance, girl, what is it about him that you
like?
Change my boring life, change my lonely life
the planer´s lost and all I need
to line my bed with handkerchiefs
to bay my fatigue to build a case
of true love lost and lives erased
to live guilt free in a foretold destiny
he found a hill where he stakes his claim
and he´ll build a house where he´ll
martyr his children
the trees wheeze out the ocean rise
he´s gaining ground in his high-rise
and all proceeds from rewritten history
in fairytales that he still believes
he breathes and thrives and he´s immunized
but he´s paralyzed cause he´s sure to die off
soon running for the middle higher ground but lower
while all the coasts are running off
cold waters boils mother earth´s rage
his house and family have washed away
where was his savior his promised
road he followed every rule they ever sold
he saw his world as a vapor life support
we colonize and we multiply as we
suck it dry yeah we´re sure to die off
live it down live it down livid
An establishment, a foundation of trust, compatible
unity
In the beginning it was all in fun, no responsibilities
(None)
But it's no longer an issue, a friendship or trust
It's a decision of business for the future where goals
are a must
There's no hard feelings, it's nothing personal, it's
just what's best for us
In time your resentment will fade away and inside your
heart you'll regain trust
We're not your enemy, what happened had to be
No one's to blame, it had to be that way
Were you dedicated and did you do what's best for the
band?
Did you have what it takes? Make no mistakes?
What happened to our friendship, is it better for the
band?
It never should have happened, don't you understand?
I didn't want to hurt you, there was no cruel intent
But when something goes to change, nothing's permanent
I sympathize with you and the alienation you feel
But the pain goes both ways, all wounds will heal
Now the pain is over and resentment is here
Can you see a way clear? Will you still be my friend?
Plus no one is to blame
The final solution is not the answer
I loved, he left you pride for pain
If I had been the one, I'd control my pride
I'd try to take this all in stride
There's no hard feelings, it's nothing personal, it's
just what's best for us
In time your resentment will fade away and inside your
heart
You will regain trust
And you will come to see happened had to be
No more waiting on them
As you sink inside your room
Your environment changed
It changes your perspective too
There's no gain in failure
As you succeed at being theirs
Take a liberation
Take a cheap ride to the moon
Liberate yourself from them
You haven't changed
You've just grown out of them
And you saw what they can't see
In truth, it took you far away from them
And now it chews your stomach
As you bleed
An artist would
She will stand beside you, no doubt
But you'd think by now you'd figure her out
Take a step to Venus
As the truth stands in the way
She's still here to remind you
They never cared
They've just grown out of it
As they all can plainly see
In truth, you've pushed them far away from you
I can see what's meant to be
Has happened to us two
Maybe I enjoy being screwed
But I will not be missing you
Missing all the time when you're wasted
On a couch you share with someone else
And you tell me
Don't believe
They're all lying
There's no proof
I am not insane
I want to thank you
For all the pain it's a goodbye
But how can I just write it off as feelings you denied
When you wasted all my time
Looking for your life
You weren't there
When I was here
There's no proof
But I am not insane
For all the pain it's a goodbye
For all the pain it's a goodbye
I thought the west was won but
seems like i had just begun to lose all
ideals i once knew mountains and
transmutation anxious anticipation
these sodden skiey and burning views
short goals and grim objectives soon
rising seas will take your homes
benchmarks and sure salvation creation
and temptation black lungs sing vituous
hate songs antibiotics and disinfectants
germaphobes for stronger infection
cowboys on steroids love tabloids
expecting endless surplus soon they´ll
have nothing left to waste racing from
dogma to distrust unsure why they all
hate us
Think about it the world defines you
think about it you should be depressed
and no little pill will make any difference
People for atto seconds bow to the
idiocracy media spun reality nightmares
comes every shut-eye still they won´t
see what they become still they won´t
see what they have done power mad
mass corruption blood money changes
everyone wake each day in panic
and distrust knowing that they all hate
Think about it the world describes you
think about it you should be anxious
and no little pill
no little pill
no little pill
The story it grows older, the story is no story here
I never knew what it is, and there's no sign of it ending
As I am it and ought to be, they're telling me I am
Bowling race car driver, superficial hitman you're
On the list at every door, you don't bowl or race fast cars
Composition competition you drive
Just because I don't go, to the church where you reside
I might as well go for it, the nineties won't be back again
Until i'm forty-eight years old
I can be the hungry, as i eat my words again, appealing yet apalling
rising to my falling, I'm going to extreme ends, I'm gagging on their scene
You shift, I'm the driver, over time in it's defense, I move their car
And for a moment it makes sense, but I fail them in the end
In the arms of old age, knowing only one to lose
Feeling nothing more to hide, consider life a forgery
As you're gagging on your scene, admit to fraudulence
Driven to this thought, death is certain, faith is not
Composition competition you drive competition
friday night's a perfect night to mow some neighbor's lawn
and i'm drunk and at the helm before too long
and chris will gladly ride shotgun
'cause navigating seems like fun
drunk and out of gas, we drive around and crash
drivin' through the yard
there's nothin' u can do
dave's behind the wheel and he's had more than just a few
suburban families slumber in civility
awakened to the sights and sounds of the yard they're blowin' down
in their death machine
drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
dave's a midnight landscaper and he's workin over-time
and he is full throttle-- full throttle tonight
--ARIGHT!--
he was almost home, just one more block
he had to hit that last mailbox
dumped it in a ditch-- ain't that a bitch?
STOKIN' THE NEIGHBORS!
dave had to run, dave had to bail
he was havin' too much fun to spend the night in jail
had no triple A for a tow truck
called 'em anyway only to hear them say
"hey pal, you're fucked"
"hey man, what're ya doin?"
"i'm goin for another drive, you wanna go chris?"
"ya bro, lemme grab a couple beers!"
"shouldn't be drivin like that, dave"
dave's a decent guy like most of us until he drinks
then his liquid mind takes over how he thinks
and then all that matters is havin' fun
pulling off the next beer run
on one too many nights, the party's over
drivin' through the yard
there's nothin' u can do
dave's behind the wheel and he's had more than just a few
suburban families slumber in civility
awakened to aftermath, the neighbors have been stoked
"the story you have just heard is true. the names have not been
changed to protect the guilty, however, lagwagon does not condone
In this faltering nation
The future belongs
To the children in school
There's something wrong
Sixth grader on crack
Handgun overflowing in his hands
Now he is just further demand
We search for the source
And still that child is left watching
Inhumanity, bloodshed
As the tele-violence feeds his head
Only if he knew
The consequence of greed
A contious state of mind
T.V. is not reality
Never a victim the role model said
Bang bang, the bad guy is dead
Always a rockstar on eMpty T.V.
The lesson complete
Now the child has needs
Of competition they bleed
Oh beautiful for bills of green
Nevermind spacious skies overhead
Bleed the earth and butter your bread
Chils turns on T.V.
What dose he see?
Nature of man, dishonesty
That child grows old
Story be told
As he sits behind bars
Bitter exit it must feel better Holding that grudge
It's a feeling so familiar Not unlike love
Unrequited she's scarred in hatred
Yesterday's moving Yesterday's moving
It's easier to locate A better nest
Tell them you never lived in such a mess
Emily at her best in black Reminds them all to stand back
At a distance they won't notice the act All that she lacks
You can see up close she's bitter Remembering wasted dinners
Can't expect the creep to stay long But he's not the one who pissed her off
Today is denial Today is denial
It's easier if she won't See him again
He's just another trip best forgotten
Emily may be odd But she always gets even
It's not unlike love
Emily will find him again Another short-term boyfriend
Emily you'll always be alone
Tomorrow is heartbreak Tomorrow is heartbreak
So bitter ex I'm sorry Sorry I bit that hook
I'm just a bad cliché in your black book
As you expect here as the keys
So come and go as you please
Wath's mine seems to be yours
Welcome to my drawers
Today I heard them say a funny thing
They were happy you were clean
You were headed for success
In the mountains of excess
Today you fail them
Tomorrow more
Maybe i'll lend you some more cash
Don't have to play it back
I can depend on you
Dependent on everyone
Why am I guilty of my bending back
Over to breaking
The object of some desire
Too late too late
Today i'm saving you
I must have finished my last care
With that beer
With some ideal I might win
While losing
That's some mentality I have
To finish talking
I'm finished talking
Today I heard a funny thing
Tey were happy you were clean
And you won't be looking back
Here's a song to all my friends
I know they'd like
I remember every drunken night at the old dive
Driving the ol'wreck
Trying to make it home somehow
One more pit stop at our favorite
Watering hole
The ghost of christmas past
Swallowed all our pride
We'd open up our story books
And water down the eyes
Our demons raised their glasses singing
"I propose a toast to my friends"
Who's buying the next round
Cup half empty cup half full
Perspectives and beers
They weren't failure
Just the regulars of my favorite year
They come and go
Paying their toll
From mobiles homes
Decaying old unsound minds
The ghost of cristmas failure
Dancing to the click of time
The beating of defeat
Shaking in his hands
A lifetime of retreat
And his regrets were ours
A time to say good-bye
I've been waiting so long for you to call
My old friend
The tv's broke
Her cheeks are soaked
The drink is empty
And now he is everything she hates
Her lowest day
It's all the same it's all the same
This house is drowning in
Inevitable silence
And it's always been on
In another born sick love
Never made her question
Right or wrong
In a see of failure he's numb
Upstairs disgust
Small words cut through what once
Was their trust
And then he gots everything he wants
Silent treatement
She's out of breath
There's no one left around
He will have regret when there is
Nothing left to say
And it's alway been on
In another born sick love
Never made him question
Right or wrong
In a see of failure he's numb
It's already killed me
That's aleready killed me
It's already been there
That's nothing new
I overdosed
I dug an hole
I buried them and died with you
I hope you didn't mind when I saw you
Turn into nothing less than
Nothing new
Before you wait to sleep it off...
How little is enough?
What can you do?
Before you decide to make the last mistake
With draw away from us
And say good-bye
To all but one that takes you
Ond puts you to rest
On twenty-seven street nothing will keep you warm
Everything bring you harm
Everything here fails you
Now lying at your feet
Everyone nails you
Everyone worships you
Everyone here fails you
I can figure it out and it's all about to...
Turn into lack of wit on sinking ships
I might have jumped
But you jumped first
Abandon ties that bind
There's no salvation here
I'd surely miss the times when we were so depressed
No I miss you I know I miss you
And you are missing something
You take a rip and then you find
Sedation some salvation
A masochistic only point of view
Nothing is left to you
Everyond speaks the truths
Everyone here fails me
Yeah
Truth and justice
And I can't wait for we have to know the truth
And what they say is justice
What we see
All lies, it's justice, a bullet in your fucking face
And you believe in the system, believe this whole fraud, the media's lies, the
evening you're loaded from within the day, what have you seen, the empty
street, that thing, I can't propel it, probably I will, what is right, truth
and justice?
And I can't wait, where's the fucking truth?
And what they say is justice
What we see
All lies, it's justice, what do you believe, the people always look away
Their interest strapped to decay
And the people always come on fast
Knocked and stole neighbor's cash
Fuck justice
Justice (x2)
Between a lie and your cardboard are your interests, you're to weak to strike,
the fucked up incest, the woman in the other street liked them again, can we
still burn up before our dying countrys
Justice, justice, justice, justice
My inspiration note the sympathy
They've taken everything you want and they left you all alone
My setting sun, self appointed,
I am a fraud
You are the martyr
It's decided and I owe you several worlds I can tell you...
Rat in the sewer, scraps they left behind
Once their visionary, and they all have robbed you blind
Your broken records playing for
None fabricate song
Amputated creative tongue
You sing on and on and
I can tell you why
I'm bringing you down,
Calling you out,
Taking your shield
It's easier now
Years have been kind
Distance between
Has given hind sight
I jumped a train
Your tragedy so easy to read,
Is bitter envy
They're reaping all the lowly benefits
You missed the train they stole
And you've never...
I'm burning you down,
Calling you out,
Taking your shield
It's easier now
Years have been kind
Distance between has given hind sight
I can see what's meant to be has happened to us too
Maybe I enjoyed being screwed
but I will not be missing you
missing all the time we wasted
on a couch, you share with someone else
and you tell me, don't believe
they're all lying
there's no proof, I am not insane
I want to thank you
for all the pain, it's a goodbye
but how can I just write it off as feelings you denied
you wasted all my time, looking for your life
you weren't there, when i was here
there's no proof, I am not insane
for all the pain, it's a goodbye
for all the pain, it's a goodbye
for all the pain, it's a goodbye
How does it start?
When does it end?
Blood and love graces everyone
You only want to touch it once
He didn't give it up
She wasn't long enough
They didn't save your falling smile
He never had a chance
But there it is
You're finally blessed
And you can't handle it
The worst
What did it say?
All you really need is love
But you're gonna make those fuckers pay
You're gonna hurt someone
That's all there really is
The ones that don't survive
They lied to you a thousand times
And you're starving heart has died
But there it is
You're finally blessed
Failure, failure, failure
A cement frown breaking
Allows a straight line blown away
It fell at thirteen
You're wide awake
Hours blind every winding curve
You start the fall from grace
The worst
You never had a chance
But here it is
Def, watching cars
And focus on one 'till it's gone
Heroes die off everyday
Like fathers who would never stay
The kids are all wrong
They're full of their hopeless opinion
The kids are all wrong
I'm all right tell me you're all right almost there barely here I knew that this day would have to come wailing on the wall watching giants fall I know there's a message to receive written in debris it's meaning's hard to see the loss of innocence means nothing in the new world all our hands are red everyone is guilty now I'm all right... tell me you're all right stop my eyes ... open wide another idiot glued to the box frozen to the screen scared to turn it off quiet shock gives way to righteousness rattle on the bars vengeance will be ours fanatics on their knees pray for a swift and just revenge become what they condemn mirror image men hands across america, let's catch contact hysteria our flag erects from broken homes july 4 for evermore colors of democracy fly from every suv the misspelled bumper sticker's here where did all the honor students go? numbers on the news this time with familiar names this time on familiar ground this reality in your back yard so the fences fall will you redefine them all? will you choose shelter or empathy? the world we share has come too close with borders blown from glass we collect stones and cast them they say the party never stops but I know we cannot get off another idiot comes on the box breathing privileged air preaching to the fair rallying one muscle under God leading on the cheer leaning on their fears the state of ignorance means nothing to the faithful God is with us now they disregard the world beyond the wall
Max says everybody's angry
max says he'll never leave his home
max says that heaven's another place
it's there his grandparents have gone
max has ten years on this birthday
a year ago this world had made him cry
max sees his world through the brightness
eyes to learn hope to glow in the dark
and he will aim toward the sky
deep blue
the silver lined white clouds divide
max says everybody's nasty
says they start too many fights
max wrote a letter to god today
his god could never tell lies
max says he's always been faithful
he prays for them
max bets they all will be saved
and he will aim toward the sky
deep blue
the silver lined white clouds so divine
but max won't get what he asked for
not here
not now
in the end we will leave him a pile
mountains of anguish assured for his climb
and max inherits his birthright
inbred
Don't call it a movement, there's other ways of saying it
Call it brown table and i'm playin' it down
Make it round even a wear account
Fat amounts
Blazin', appraisin
People are very unordinary (I have no idea)
Every nation a backin'on out
Come on everybody let me hear you shout
I'm gonna back on out
My momma said back on out
Smokin' it ain't stoppin
Its coming down and this melt is rockin'
Rain my mother ate draino, mt. st. helen
A volcano
Burnin' like hot lava
I got the runs cause i drink too much java
Ouch that sensation
I got the runs i got constipation
[Chorus]
wait for us we come content in the back of the bus
guilty of the time you spend serving
there's someone left to give you up
but you're not laboring the thought of something incomplete
no one lives exception to this passing grief
unstable in your voice agrees pleading to me
you can't lie to me honestly to me
i will eat your words every tenth you got
just numb there's always someone here for more
i always listen to, act sense wasting time
while time is wasting you
and i never left i just shut up still
i can hear it from your mouth counting seconds
with a grain of hope unto thirst julie
Come on, E
Try to go easy
We can do anything, anything, anything
Come on, E
We got it covered
We can stop anytime, anytime, anytime
Come on, E
It's just a party
Lets go to party town, then we can party down
Come on, E
Check out my party hat
My name is Randall, I wrote you this song
Can't you see that all we need is
One night to release
It's bound to be the last in all of history
Come on, E
Raise your glass to the sky
Drink to those solid grays, olden days, whatever
Just want to get radical
Don't be a bummer
Look at the summer day
The sun is rising once again (yay)
(Can we have just one night without
All this self distruction?
I just love my husband; I can't live without him)
Come on, E
We're goin' easy
It's just a party
Time to get gnarly
Come on, E
Tryin' to go easy
My name is Randall, it's nice to meet you
We are always here to make you laugh
Pick up please
The boys give you validity
They give you what you want
They can never give enough
Only charity until you're sorry
Victimized,
One thing I can't criticize
Given you struggle
Could you ever be alone?
Seems impossible and still i'm sorry
Saint freedom,
It's so easy when you give up
No matter what i've done
I could never be the one
It's never effortless to fail
I can rely on this
Could you ever rely on me
Jealousy
The boys give you validity
No matter what you've done
I could never be the one
Just a shareholder of lies
I put you to bed
They will always leave
Independent of you
You could never deny
I always knew how to fail you
Things don't seem to be as easy as they used to be
It's getting harder everyday to think
Of better things to say
About what's going on around you
And what's happening inside you
When it's time to change you won't know how
It won't matter here from now
No matter what you think or do or say
Everything turns grey
This is it, the darkest hour
Isn't it depressing how our
Minds create an atmosphere
That won't happen here unless we make some new demands
To grasp the future in our hands
You know I wish I could but it's too late
For senseless minds that love to hate
No matter what they think or do or say
Realizing it's too late
Destiny turns to fate
Realizing it's to late now
Repeat
Now you say it's over
And the monkey's off your back
All it took was valium
And a couple of six packs
So once again you've lied
And your story remains the same
Beacuse misery loves companty
And you're the one to blame
It's Your life
And it's always the same
It's your life
Hello
welcome to the show
Thought we broke up years ago
What's up
I just shit my pants
gambled and I lost
Good times
just blew out my knee
I've fallen and I can't get up
Oh shit
I think I broke my back
where's the wheelchair?
I'm old school
I'm played out (out, out, out)
Osteoporosis
glaucoma and neurosis
The vultures circling
above our balding heads
Second verse
the same as the first
I forgot the words again
Railer
lost my inhaler
who's got a smoke for the Caper?
Hold on
let me catch my breath
All right I feel better now
Take it to the bridge
I'll never be Ozzy
On stage when I'm fifty
I'm gonna look like Elvis
By the time I'm forty
We're already bogus
We're already fading
We'll never be The Rolling Stones
I'm staying home
Dementia and senility
My failing muscles atrophy
I've lost all ability
Falling apart!
Blue hair, brown teeth
Failing livers,defeat
Maybe we will try to pull it off
for another year
Trying to ignore him
Trying to have self control
When that tounge slips just once
It's in his eyes
Thank you...
Silence by energy
Push me down
And the likes to come again
Here to make you listen to them
Treated to many times
The eye for eye has left us blind
This creature of demise
Repaid all the time
You hate them
You hate yourself
Take it out on someone else
I feel a change within myself
I used to be out of control
I always knew anger and pain
That inspiration was a game
But now it seems as I grow old
As I mature I'm lesser bold
I can't believe how cruel and cold some people act
I give it back
Cause I don't want it and I don't need it
So I give it back
Cause I don't want it and I don't need it
Don't wanna understand the child abuse, the past gone violence
Don't justify his violent nature
Soon or later I hope he meets his maker once again
And like his father before him he kills himself
Cause I don't want it and I don't need it
So I give it back
Cause I don't want it and I don't need it
You hate them
You hate yourself
a victim of collision on the open sea nobody ever said,
life's for free sink, swim,
go down with the ship use your freedom of choice
i'll say it again, in the land of the free
use your freedom of choice your freedom of choice
it makes you run there was a ?? about a dog?? ??
he picked the one he licked the other he ran in circles
he's not dead! freedom of choice
is what you've got freedom of choice
then if you got you don't want
it seems to be the rule of ?god?
don't be tricked by what you see
you got two ways to go
i'll say it again, in the land of the free use
your freedom of choice your freedom of choice
freedom of choice is what you've got freedom of choice
it makes you run there was a ??
about a dog?? ?? he licked the one
he nicked the other he ran in circles
he's not dead! freedom of choice
is what you've got freedom for choice
is what you want freedom of choice
i met her in transit on board time
i was abducted for a short time the door was open
but she fit inside she left me out here to justify
and pain is here now in some form of goodbye
but you died, yes you died i knew your secret
i'm stuck in time i met you in transit with five other ghosts
you ran me over reckless
but true emptied by oceans
my eye's a desert of dry expecting
you to drive by i want to see you
i want to see you to tell you i'm sorry
and pain is here now in some form of goodbye
i've been expecting you
i've been expecting i met her in transit
on her way home she left us out here
All the mirrors scream
As they describe your dreams
All that they deride
Until you have no allies
They depict a world where we aren't safe
Without hate
An angry mob of one
Author of the unstoppable will
United we must kill
Here comes the facade
They will inflate your god
By default accomplice to their war
But I know where I stand
Born into the geographic call
But I won't elect to let my mind fall
been staring for a hundred hours run down
a spiral drain keep mouth clamped tight,
and it isn't right three words keep running round my mind
but my tongue is hard to find i need to let it go,
because i know dark secrets burn their vessel
tearing out to grab a mouthful chunk of heart
destroyed by quiet yell it out before it kills you now
let it all out used to let rumors do my work
they got around real well now they only hurt,
it's a liar's quirk this time i gotta say it straight
i mean to do some good i'm calling out your name,
while the chance remains i want you...
so now you know where i come from my secret's
come undone my heart revealed my
cause i'm lying naked at your feet
don't crush the heart that bleeds take me at my word,
Come to know them and what makes them burn
Take out your aggressions and alleviate the hurt
Fueled by some loss we'll never know
I sit down now, cause I'm not playing with you
Abusing, amusing, your peers and all your demons
In passive, aggression, accusing all else but you
Hurt the ones, you've grown to love
You feed on them embitterment refills your empty soul
Release it into them your sharp words, alcohol enhanced
Fueled by guilt your checkered past, you had the last word
Laugh at me as I sit this one out, and they're dancing around me, afraid
Come to know them and what makes them burn
Take out your aggressions and alleviate the hurt
Fueled by some loss we'll never know
Now it's simple to me
Sometimes you have to let go when there's
Next to nothing
You say everytime she says no
There's more pain then love
It comes o shove almost
Everytime you speak
Somehow you fight
Something's just crazy
Somehow it's taking all the life left in you
You'er losing ground
Carrying that torch
Your not asking for much
As she has...
Had time to heal
And she doesn't need you any longer an you...
Had time to drink
And you call her to tell her you've gotten much stronger
At three in the morning she says stop calling cause...
Everyone's asleep
Some of us work
You're driving me crazy
When will you get on with my life
Now every nights friday night
Picking fights with your friends
Somehow trying to make amends
So you seach for comfort in a friend
It's not the same she won't understand
You both learned to think alike
So what was so wrong
Where's she tonight
Out there drinking while you're left in thinking
It's taken all the life left in...
You're losing ground
Carrying that torch
You're not asking for much
Still somehow
You'll wait for her
You say she'll return
But you still carry that torch
That girl
it's negative i wish you the worst dear,
to feel the greatest pain a positive
you say it's all in vain i know i felt,
and i won't feel again i know you hours of madness,
years of dysfunction, the deepest embitterment
no will to strive or achieve,
finally in breakdown perpetual fall on your knees,
as you crawl back to me it ends like this
i can hope for bliss, if you fail again
'cause i'm right here, to witness every step and when you trip,
i will cherish it hours of madness,
years of dysfunction, the deepest embitterment
no will to strive or achieve,
finally in breakdown perpetual fall on your knees,
as you crawl back to me i live to watch you fail,
i live to watch you fail i live to watch you fail,
i am the wind in your sail
i wish you the worst dear, to feel the greatest pain
'cause i'm right here,
to retrieve all you stole every tear,
and everything you own i wish you hours of madness,
years of dysfunction, the deepest embitterment
no will to trust anyone this is how i lived,
I am just another fool, and I have to, keep telling myself that
I am just a hypocrit, and I have to, keep calling you one
And I forgot to bite my tongue, as my assumption, is the mother of all mistakes
So I assume the role, open my mouth, and clumsy words escape
So why you, wanna to be there, when you could be here, you are slipping away
I awake with your replacement, a bottle in my grasp, in an unfamiliar place
Because you put me out, the butt of a sick joke, into this ashtray life
As you come and go, cause I forgot to service you, and we broke down
And you can't live with my mistakes, but I assume false grace
Open my arms and grasp at something true
How are you, how have you been, girl I miss you, wanna see you again
So why you, wanna to be there, when you could be here, you are slipping away
I bring out the worst in you, and you try to let me know
You bring out the worst in me, anxiety, anxiety
I'm trying to let you go, you say I'm giving you the creeps
So I assume the bole, open my claws and grasp for your heart
Into you like a mortal stake so vindictive
Your love's slipping away
Violins, into this ashtray life
Violins, the butt of your sick joke
Violins, I'm trying hard to let you go
We colonize a better place
Unable to transform our fate
We follow whatever path grows
Directions no one knows
Given the choice for normalcy,
you seem content in who you've come to be
They said he re-installed his plague
Said to have re-vamped that limp vein
As if it all ends formulaic
Painless escape
We share the same virus of love and hope
And it's a fleeting beauty
You did everything you could
You were there for him through bad and good
Disappear before you follow suit
The parasites, they are still there to swallow you
Beating through an obtrude chest
Every emotive plea a stretch
No praise enough to build a life
No words to instill pride
And through your life disorder rides
I did everything I could
Mostly there for him through bad and good
I disappeared as always waiting for the born-again call
The one that signals to us all
This bender's over again
Listen for one last faint heartbeat
Holding his hand in hopes he breathes
All of those sad years have come to this
Your head lay on his sunken chest
The thought of you at his deathbed
The latest virus in my head
Unjust, unjust
Selfless you tended to our ghost
Katherine an unconditional untiring host
You were there for him when he needed you the most
I hope someone restores your heart
Already here now, already done
Combine and collapse.
Dancing with none
White is for "so dumb"
Blue is for "numb"
Yellow the streaks on their backs.
They all step in line
I'm just a rug... Under the foot prints of strangers
All I need, all I know
This one's for Jimmy and two more for me
It's something you sell to your self
It absolves you of your role
Accidental... Pardoned the repeat offenders toll
They missed the last week's wake
It's cold
Find yourself here now.
Dance the collapse
Those aging children, they all know the steps
I'm just a bug
Under the rug
Under the reap
Absent
Under the gray
Under the grief
Absent
Under the myth
Under the meek
Absent
Under courage
Under caring
Absent
Understudy
Understudy
Absent
Understudy
Understudy
12. Days of new
The days are full of storybook romance,
the myriad of thoughtful acts
A million ways I'm into you,
I'm never getting over you
I'm sorry for exposing you,
I know you hate it when I do
But I had to write one for my better half
The days are new, the nights unwind
You break my world, you change my mind
Run out of love, come down from life
Run out of pain, my life has changed
It's obvious it's all been said
in cheesy poems and chick flicks
The mushy shit that people say,
it makes us chuckle everyday
So how can I express to you
the recent dramas we've been through
I wouldn't have been fine without your help
The days are new, the nights unwind
You touch my world, you change my life
Run out of love, run out of life
Come down from hate, the world has changed
But we may never have met if it weren't for him
Hey Derrick, maybe somehow you're listening
Today's mantra is gratitude
You changed my life
I'm sure you knew I'll never forget the words that you said
The life that you lead
I'll never forget I'll never forget
By now you should find your mouth
By now you should call me
We can work it out
I fallow it until the end of concession
"a falling out" I heard from them
There's no discretion
I'm burning out on this
By now you should be in a better place
And thinking for your self
It's not your axe to grind
And this is my latest confession
I hope you hear about it
Victims I know the saints come to call
And bring you obsession
To save you from your fall
Victim I know it wont be long
'till one worth possessing
Is one you'll never reach
Swallow it until the end
Of our concession
I'm sure i'll hear from you
Through them
There's no discretion
I'm burning out on this
And this is my latest confession
I doubt you'll hear about it
It's only indecision
This is your latest condition
What if I had nothing left?
What if I had no one left?
Why would I€
Who would I survive?
Dead man, he leaves his home
Hopeless, he holds his goals higher, higher, low
I just wanted to see you wake up one day
With a real smile on your face
What if you felt certainty?
Granted trust when you were young
Why would you€
How would you let go?
I just wanted to see you wake up one day
With an expectation
I just wanted to see you wake up one day
With a real smile on your face
Here we go again Under someone's skin
Making new mistakes
The break lights illuminate Accidents repeat
You can count on me Crushing you in vain
Cause I will save you You can hate me
We're so well adjusted darling It's pathetic justice
Find out where I breathe Suffocate my needs
Vandal with pro ?????
Because I will love you You won't save me
We're so well adjusted darling It's pathetic justice
It's already better than last time
I ruined another girl's life
I am the portrait of serenity and desperate need
I'll hold you until you cannot breathe
Can't breakup with you Cause you're with someone new
And his misery Cause I will save you
You will hate me They'll all be disgusted darling
It's poetic, It's pathetic justice
Silent again
When spoken their is friction and conflict
Why do we rub each other wrong
Maybe we've known each other too well for too long
You and I have heard each other speech before
Are these words that i said
The same words that you heard
We can only agree to disagree in disharmony
Is it too much likeness or indifference
Well the answers in the question isn't it
The deepest cut of all comes from a trusted friend
But I'm sick of it all I can't listen
I wish that all of it would end
You cut me off
I cut you down serrated words
Are these words that i said
The same words that you heard
We can only agree to disagree in disharmony
Let's stop repeating the lesson
We've been through thick n' thin
I consider you a friend
Though it's hard for me show
Everytime you hear this song you'll know
It's not just the business
We know much more exist
Let's end the bad notes and the dis'chords
i don't wanna defeat you i don't wanna be sad
i don't wanna forgive you i don't wanna be mad
'cause it's always say what you wanted to say
as you're walking away and i can't take this disappointment again
and i'm waiting... i don't wanna be near you
i don't wanna be far i don't wanna forgive you
but i wanted to start
'cause it's always say what you wanted to say
as you're walking away
and i can't take this silent treatment again
and i'm waiting, and i'm waiting...
for you i don't wanna defeat you
i don't wanna be mad i don't wanna forgive
you i don't wanna be sad
yes it's always say what you wanted to say
as you're walking away
and i can't take this silent treatment again
let me get this straight your buddy died,
tuesday, right? but today is saturday
and i saw him last night no,
i wasn't seeing things and i wasn't drunk
i can't believe you just laughed,
that's fucked some you call your friends
show no remorse in the end they laugh at you,
when are you spent so often the rumors
too little to take but a lot more in time demented rumors
and everything's changed demented rumors the lies of the friends,
so i went calling for the end i'm feeling tied,
i can't hide i'm suffering the one,
why oh why did he died all the dismay,
chance of a live demented rumors and
everything's changed demented rumors
i stayed up last night for a friend i thought
i'd never see again because you called me up
and said he's dead how can you speak
before you think about what you're saying
how can you say these things?
you say it's your sense of humor ??
whose gonna laugh when you're gone?
Choke choke pride
Still I could only wait for you to decide
Tear it all apart
You break my heart
Why don't you follow through
Follow through
And the day ends
A so called friend
A drunken bed
How could you with...
Why would you...
All of them
No one owns you
Just keep me hanging here
Tell me you need me dear
Tell me you're sure I souldn't fear
Lies lies lies
Choke choke please
Have another drink on me
My love humiliation
I gave you every chance to leave
And you stayed just long enough
To bury me
As I understand wath no one can see
I stop
And all these words seem selfish
And anger you
And none of it is true
But all of them confess until I choke...
I tough I knew a true love
I used to think you really cared
I used to think I knew true innocence
I though that you were that
I know you to well when you lie
I hope you choke on them
And see for me
For me
And all these words seem selfish and
Anger you
And you were always true
I'm getting used to getting old but where's my ambition - Days of omission
I feel broken down inside because my words seem to be trite adding
To the overwhelming
Always a question of truth your truths question my efficiency
Shocking - The words you can't hear
Impact - The words I can't write
Recycled words don't justify...
None of these words suffice searching for the sharp words
To drive the message in I put the last words down then I begin
To question the truth
Your truths question my efficienty
Impact the words you can't hear
he shouts fire in a crowded room
with some conscience intend draws a jaggy
great line between freedom and excess
he returns it with a sound of hope and falling on ?
maybe i'm just thirty and i don't want to go to parties anymore
only really need a few close friends
i'm just tryin' to keep the hair on my head
i think it's time we tie the knot and you and
i can make some babies marriage,
mortgage can't afford it we are destined to fail lots of time,
we are late what the hell smashing through the boundaries
lunacy as found me gotta have a family boys
will tell you they'll take care of you
but i can tell you, girl, that there is only one thing that you're after
we ain't got no money, honey, it's true
ten thousand vacant in the place where elvis said "i do"
"love me tender" four kids, food stamps
trying to make words count endless days of minimum wage
love is ours, food's a dream a better day two kids,
two cars life insurance, credit cards
We colonize a better place
(Unable to transform our fate)
We follow whatever path grows
(Directions no one knows)
Given the choice for normalcy
You seem content in who you've come to be
They said he re-installed his plague
(Said to have re-vamped that limp vein)
As if it all ends formulaic
(Painless escape)
We share the same virus of love and hope
And it's a fleeting beauty
You did everything you could
You were there for him through bad and good
So disappear before you follow suit
The parasites, they are still there to swallow you
Beating through an obtrude chest
Every emotive plea's a stretch
No praise enough to build a life
(No words to instill pride)
And through your life disorder rides
I did everything I could
Mostly there for him through bad and good
I disappeared as always waiting for the born-again call
The one that signals to us all
This bender's over again
Listen for one last faint heartbeat
(Holding his hand in hopes he breathes)
All of those sad years have come to this
(Your head lay on his sunken chest)
The thought of you at his deathbed
The latest virus in my head
Unjust, unjust
Selfless you tended to our ghost
Katherine an unconditional untiring host
Well you were there for him when he needed you the most
I hope someone restores your heart
I hope something restores your world
She broke up with me, two days later
I think she met her Don Juan in, Italy
She has a new man, I have a new mustache
Now all my friends are gonna call me mountain man
And everyone will think that I'm a stupid drifter
To walk the earth alone, I'll never shave again
On the night she left me, facial hair grew miraculously
I dressed in black like Johnny Cash, and grew this beard of shame
I've heard it said she looks a lot like, Sherilyn Fenn
And sometimes I'm mistaken for, Billy Gibbons
I may appear wise, but I'm an idiot
It's over, she left me, and she will soon forget me
She found out I was lame, I grew a beard of shame
Come all be faithful, joyful and triumphant
Time to ride the snake, oh eyes gone dead and blank
I don't wanna talk to a stranger, I once knew
Single-minded hunt, to fill the bottomless well
I can't afford the labor of the feelings that you ask, you tax
Talk to me i can't hear you
Did you say, the pain has gone away
Just one question, will i see you at the show tomorrow
Or the snake
They could never tell, we are losing weight
They will all still love us, if they can not feel our hell
I'm not losing face, and they're not losing faith
We won't have to feel unless we quit, there's nothing more to hide
Don't you know that he does everything, he buys the food and cleans
He knows what I need to go on
This is your last chance I can feel I'm fading and I want to disappear,
Disappear, there's nothing left to hear
how does it feel ??? we all made sure here another mile,
5 years expire attempting seemly airless time
restrain everything i have
confine the gun it takes so long,
so long confine my time what a town,
living proof my abuse restrain everything i have
before we accept truth time to go home now,
i hit the wall ??? lights out,
bend down now another blind truck
i know there's always train restrain everything i have
confine the gun it takes so long,
so long confine my time what a town,
living proof my abuse restrain everything
Used to recognize the gun in your hand
Promise, squandered
Used to understand the stake in your heart
Mileage, road worth
But it's hard to recognize the massive burden
Born of bad deeds
And it runs in the family from beginning to end It is just revenge
Everybody build a monument to pain
Flowers, fast cars
Everybody raise the thief in your heart
It's just a beating
And it sounds just like a million other tributes
Customs and demons
And it runs in the family with a million regrets
It's just (It's just revenge) revenge
Everybody build a monument to fear
Unsafe people
Everybody raise a paranoid child
It's just an over-stimulated mind
It sounds just like a billion people starving with no resource for love
And it runs in the family with a million missteps
It's just revenge
Everything echoes
Everyone emulates
Everyone is a victim of their blood
Everyday initiate
Everything echoes
Everyone echoes
All of us are running with the wolves
I'm not the one who is pointing the finger, you hypocrite
We're not true enough to be part, but I speak of what I have learned
I haven't a flag to be burned
Born wrong
Descend upon us, you're only honest, but are you an artist
Or just a preacher to those, who want to hate everything you told them to see
Everything you told them to hear, we simply ask them to listen and express what we feel
Born right
Rifle me
Playing on their sympathy you're the one waving the flag
Proceeds, who's in?
Who wants a piece of him?
So many articles to choose from
Comrade, artiste
A taste for evidence
Hold on to articles of faith
Once worth nothing that something touches who you want to be
Baggage embodies no one (He is gone)
Intrinsic to only one (He is gone)
Belongings don't define us
Keepsake, fingerprint, scrapbook, record of death
'gonna be there
They have to see you pay respects
Breathe in, breathe out, random, random, random
Who are these fucking idiots?
Come on I'm writing you
I know this role is tearing you apart
Large numbers can't console you (He is gone)
Don't let the guilt control you (He is gone)
The anger has consumed you
Ranting, regret, enrage, screaming next€
Wasting his days and his nights
Nothing's changed
Nothing's right
He has no sense of pride
Sees no respect in his parents eyes
And why should he care?
No one ever cared for him?
Wasting her nights and days
Sixteen with a child
God wouldn't have it any other way
And then they told her of shame
And that impurity made her bed
No fuckin' CHOICE
She took two lives instead
All these worthless nights
All these wasted days
Down the path I follow you
Because who am I?
Denial
I still care
But it's my life in despair
Laughing harder
In self-concious
I've played my last solitaire
That shirt's too tight to wear
Wasting my days nad nights
Nothings changed
Nothings right
I know I'm not exactly
The parents guide to living
But it's the road less traveled
In this world so unforgiving
Too many hangars in the closet
A clutter of confusion
Too little rectitude to hold
A moral absolute
Too much distinction to relate to them
Irresolutions we contemplate with no end
In this world of give and take
And what we refer to as maturity
From emotional need to technology
Has you, a cultured seed of your society,
Lacking ability to feel clemency
I'm surprized we still
Bleed into the abyss of despair
That's hiding the child
Compassion you would not dare
Admit to have experienced
Do you regret looking back?
A penitent confessing his sins
The child inside of me recalls a time of purity,
An outlook of release
You remember
Confident that you were able
A future laid out on your table
Running through memories
A child is free
The world restored you see
I see
Everything that i've done here into one in keeping with...
Some earned conviction, some stagnation,
Some change despair
Disappointment and odds
In a costume you can't take off
I leave it behind. I know that this time i get in for free
Our latest rendition lame
Reincarnate, return the same
Still the best times are her now.
Now that I'm bored, now that I'm numb
Done, I know this is wrong
Safe in that stance but incomplete
Leave it behind. I know that this time i get in for free.
Some of it's habitual
sometimes the change is not enough
And in the lost empathy
Here comes the day I see my friends far away
When I grow up inside what will happen to me?
The city sights the business types
I can see but where are you?
Bye for now
Didn't mean to let you down
Didn't mean to drive you away
Bye for now!
Now that your not around
So many things I'd like to say!
See here I think I've found the missing link
The piece that holds us together
If I had my way I'd here you say that it's OK
Friendship should last for ever
Bye for now
Didn't mean to let you down
Didn't mean to drive you away
Bye for now!
Now that you're not around
So many things I'd like to say!
Didn't mean to let you down
Didn't mean to let you down
Didn't mean...
Never meant to let you down
I can't recall the hurting words that I once said
So long ago, still indignation clouds your head
And it's enough to know the pain of losing friends
You perpetuate certain sensless hate
And I can picture you today as you say
"I used to know that guy" And as you speak they watch your face split in two
And when you see me
It's always, hey Joe,
How is it goin' bro?
Where have you been man?
We used to be such good friends
Two-faced, you don't care
You know what you can do with it
I can't pretend
And there you go again
You ought to bury the hatchet
And leave behind all of the lies
And your disguise
You know that I just want to
Bury the hatchet
How much more will you permit?
Think about it you'll admit
You and I have got to bury the hatchet
Am I really all that bad?
Sometimes I second guess
Often times I wonder why my head is such a mess
But put yourself in my shoes and picture if you can
All these insecuriries create that bitter sad man you see
Hurting
Not me
I forgive, I forget
I won't say the things I'll regret
Not this time
I will stop, but just between you and me
It's a loss
I can't recall the hurting words that I once said
So long ago, still indignation clouds your head
'Cause it's enough to know the pain of losing friends
Fingers point at you
Isn't that what a child would do?
And as you speak they'd watch your face split in two
And when you see me
It's always, hey Joe,
How is it goin' bro?
Where have you been man?
We used to be such good friends
Two faced, you don't care
You know what you can do with it
Hypocrite
burn those bridges to the ground, ground, ground,
without a sound we just blew up hard to be ??? to this is a lot,
this is their truth someone told you live is short but short's just long
no need for validation short
you never needed song you without harmony
you gave them underwelming for change
lives worth ending in a flat low gesture
passionate to some is not enough
a ?calatharel? to the lounge ???
you make them proud to crush you see
if they like watching you burn just like the bridge
you wandered first so burn those bridges to the ground
without a care you know you not leave
before they're here (there)
ain't left addicted to the sound of insufficient
You won't find me condescending
at your closed door
you won't hear how i feel.
say you've been there before
the holiday's the hardest time
to fill in all the blanks
and you don't need anyone
to show you those mistakes
wrap yourself up in only math
of our world
fill up the holes in
your full heart with details
for all the riddles solved
and every puzzle you complete
can't seem to find the pieces
to the heart that beats
you'll master every task
but always by the book
then log it in your past with risk
that you once took
they left you then,
they'll hurt you now
can't get too close to you
or you will cut them down
and any fool can play
i'll raise the stakes with another turn
we risk, we roll and we burn
at arms length you never get hit
there's too much to gamble
when you let someone in
my true friend i'm spewing
and only one more positive
i just might spill some notable insight
i didn't think before i purged
so here i am attempting
to unlock your closed door
i wouldn't break it down
cause you'd be gone for sure
you might say something nice of me
and send it in a card
or under whiskey breath
slur kind words at the bar
and you're sinking me
while you stay afloat
in the tank you built
Hey where did we go, days when the rain came.
Down in the hollow, playin' a new game.
Laughin' and a runnin' , hey hey, skippin' and a jumpin'
In the misty mornin' fog with our hearts a thumpin' at you,
The Brown-Eyed Girl
You're my Brown-Eyed Girl
Now what ever happened, Tuesday is so slow,
Goin' down the old man river, with a transistor radio
Standin' in the sunlight laughin'
Hidin' behind a rainbow wall
Slippin' and a slidin', all along the waterfall with you,
The Brown-Eyed Girl
You're my Brown-Eyed Girl.
Do you remember when, ah we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
La dee dah
So hard to find my way, now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day, my how you had grown,
(.. ) Sometimes overcome thinkin' bout,
Makin love in the green grass, behind the stadium with you.
The Brown-Eyed Girl
You, my Brown-Eyed Girl.
Do you remember when, ah we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
forgive you that's what you want
you roll back in your ways fit
and i'm all torn up i bury promise here
you would come back once your feelings are ???
when you found me here in that pit
no one here can sing your song
just invite the idiots and sing along
i bet you love people you were a flower on the wall,
i built you block up the bricks
i used to no one here can sing your song
I try to focus on what I hear, listen to what I see
I've thought of this a lot, and it's becoming all too clear
I take it, in excess, as my true feelings are suppressed
I can not find the words to say it, without hurting
Not listening to what you say, now watching the things you do
As you take a dose of grief, as you insist there's no relief
Perhaps another drink
And you take, it in excess, as your true feeling are supressed
You can not find the way to cure it, without hurting
You cure it, but it seems your problem still remains
Obsession, compulsion my friend, overdoing evertything
So focus on what you need, listen to what you hear
This is the last time I listen, it's becoming all too clear
I'm completely confused here
jimmy brown made of stone charlie
clown no way home bring on the dancing horses
headless and all alone shiver
and say the words of every lie you've heard first
i'm gonna make it then i'm gonna break it
'till it falls apart hating all the faking
and shaking while i'm breaking your brittle heart
billy stands all alone sinking sand skin
and bone bring on the dancing horses
wherever they may roam shiver
and say the words of every lie you've heard
first i'm gonna make it then i'm gonna break it
'till it falls apart hating all the faking
and shaking while i'm breaking your brittle heart
brittle heart, brittle heart brittle heart
and my little heart goes jimmy brown made of stone
charlie clown no way home bring on the headless horses
wherever they may roam shiver
and say the words of every lie you've heard
first i'm gonna make it then i'm gonna break it
'till it falls apart hating all the faking
and shaking while you're breaking my brittle heart
brittle heart, brittle heart and our little heart goes
bring on the new messiah, wherever he may roam
bring on the new messiah, wherever he may roam
bring on the new messiah, wherever he may roam
Don't call it a movement, there's other ways of saying it
Call it brown table and i'm playin' it down
Make it round even a wear account
Fat amounts
Blazin', appraisin
People are very unordinary (I have no idea)
Every nation a backin'on out
Come on everybody let me hear you shout
I'm gonna back on out
My momma said back on out
Smokin' it ain't stoppin
It's coming down and this melt is rockin'
Rain my mother ate draino, mt. st. helen
A volcano, burnin' like hot lava
I got the runs cause I drink too much java
Ouch that sensation
All that I know
Things are going slow
And we cannot forgo
Life on Death Row
And I'll miss you
Hail to the Chief
Abusing his control
He can never weep
He lost his soul
To his ego
All that we face
Has slowly been erased
These memoirs have no taste
It seems like such a waste
Memoirs and landmines
I remember where I'm from
Still fresh in my mind
I remember where I'm from
(You send it in a text message
I'm just so fucking sensitive)
Goodbye
Cartoons and creatures
I remember where I'm from
Unworthy teachers
I remember where I'm from
Straight through the stop signs
I remember where I'm from
Why am I driving home?
All that I know
Has slowly been erased
These memoirs have no dates
Lying idle in my room, telling my thoughts to the moon:
Why do I always feel so unimportant?
To other egos my mind clings and inside these voices ring
That I'm just a carbon copy of everyone else
And now I'm searching out my own identity
Something down inside telling me that I'm like no one else but me
But as of yet I still don't know
Who is this guy that I am and for his life what does he have to show? Who am I?
What am I for?
I wait for answers from the sky, the only audience I find
But no comfort finds my ears just silent mocking
And I know I was created but I just can't figure out why
And now I'm searching out my own identity
Something down inside telling me that I'm like no one else but me
But as of yet I still don't know
Who is this guy that I am and for his life what does he have to show? Who am I?
What am I for?
Still searching. Who am I? Some answers I don't ever find
I just want to know I have a place
Come from and return to dust, but I don't want to feel that useless
I want to see something in me that is unique. I just want to know. Who am I?
s.o.s. in a state of emergency
the situations and the prying eyes
looking at me
is there no where i could go?
somewhere you couldn't see
s.o.s. in a state of emergency
so let's say for a second
i've grown attached
my life's a mess
i'm total waste
and the pills that they gave me
just give me the shits
i don't really work
i'm suppose to fit in
let's say just for a second
i'm only kidding
i'm well adjusted
let's say nothin' at all
in a state of emergency
i'm calling out to anyone
an s.o.s. in a state of emergency
Hi it's, me i'm bored again, all is well i'm not insane
I've been drunk for seven days, everything is fine
I made some friends, broke the ice, then i some ate bread and cheese
to gain some weight, keep me warm everything's o.k.
It's me delivering psychosis, over the phone to you
I color your world blue, ten thousand miles from you
I'm sinking all alone, treading new waters, I miss my buoy
The van smells like a dirty sock, everyone has got the flu
I'd rather be sick of you, I'd rather be asleep
When I get home, the band will have, it's first hit song
you and I, will buy some rings, and a suburban home
I'll bring home, the bacon bits, we'll make our parents grandparents
I hate my friends
I hate my friends
I hate my...
Two in the morning here
I am turning blue
I'm drinking up for an old friend
Bourbon can't clean my mind of this
Voice in my head
"I hate my friends"
Cause they make me
Think about the smile that i'm faking
I hate my
Yeah, that's the scene that I am in
Lying
At odds with every bland image
How many excuses can this
Fool listen to
You never cared
There was no us
Only misery and distrust
We used to watch them fall, and we saw them distraught
But the attention that they got, it surrounds them
For years we watched them enslaved, and we could only laugh
What a loser what a shame, said we'd never play the...
And now it seems you haven't learned the lesson
I guess you have to share the pain
And now your tainted blood leaves stains behind your back
And in their words I hear your shame
How can you lie to me, in your eyes I can see
Glazed and vacant, as you're caught in the act
You've always wanted this, now you feel the stab
Are you happy to be sad, is there pleasure in the...
As it make you sick, do I make you scared
When you see what you once were
As you're shaving your head
The scared boy thinks he's safe
If you can't read his eyes
but you can read, you can read his eyes
I've been living for years in question, some obsession
Was I less to live with no answers, as a life cried wolf
I'm ashamed to mention my anguish, but silence lies empty
If I say it again can I kill it, will you lend me your ears
Breathe in breathe out exhale, acting sweating
A broken smile provides them a view, projection is nothing new
Just once I would like them to feel it, suffer in my skin
For a moment stand in my shoes, filled with swelling blues
I keep this room, and this room keeps me, chained to my organs
I am quarantined, to a place that's dark, staring at three walls
The door is locked to them
Maybe now that they all know it, you'll find solace
As you're drowning in narcissism, or is it self-loathing
Cause you fought it all in your head boy, psychosomatic
They used to humor you now they pity you, and nothing's changed
The door is locked behind me, if I say it again can I kill it
Because they're sick of my complaining and i am sick of being sick
Maybe these will cure you completely, chemicals deeply
Saviors until you're dependent, don't let them go to your head
i begin to hear you you're the poster job
give them all a fading smile entertain
an ocean you can't go outside failure
is around the corner as you watched
you talk it over none of it's enough
everyone's too much you're sounding
out the dollars anyone can smile anyone...
seven empty futures 24 goodbye's empty backstage
full of people and it's all bullshit
your words seem to say nothing
try to recall emission the thoughts you hear,
remember when where has it gone?
you wanted to roll the dice anyone can choose
anyone can lose someday standing in the overwhelming
anyone can act anyone...
though the nameless faces leave
you a stranger the city changes,
In a chalk dotted line
Draw a kid, left behind
Severed limbs in harmony
Strumming from a few good deeds
Carry it to survive
To a bed half alive
Held before a dozen times
Deep inside a funeral for a friend:
Runs in portions like film clips
Run, run
Rundown the list
The memoirist
Like kindling
Burn, burn, burn, and burn down
I will stay inside
The saved
It's a good mourning
They will ignite you (soon)
The doomed
I will write for you
Of a boy, damaged goods
Of a bench, understood
For a spell, the soul resides
In a yellow chalk outline
Carry on the camel's back
Have another heart attack
To the cure I would drive
Played that scene a hundred times to date
Today's ambition, to relate
In a sustaining saccharine state
Impart the burden and get well
It's what everyone's trying to sell
Anything you want it to be
Weigh the screenplay and revise
Warp, warp, warp with the contortionist
So hopelessly ill-fated everyday
He will stay inside
The doomed
It's a good mourning to loom
They will inspire him
Friday night's the perfect night to mow some neighbor's lawn
And Dave is drunk and at the helm before too long
And Chris will gladly ride shotgun, 'cause navigating seems like fun
Drunk and out of gas, they drive around and crash
They're driving through your yard, there's nothing you can do
Dave's behind the wheel, and he's had more than just a few
Suburban families slumber in civility
Awakened to the sights and sounds of the yard they're blowing down in their
Death machine
Drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive...
Dave's a midnight landscaper, and he's working overtime
And he is full throttle--full throttle tonight. (Alright!)
He was almost home, just one more block, he had to hit that last mailbox
Dumped it in a ditch, ain't that a bitch? (Stoking the neighbors!)
Came time to run, came time to bail
He was having too much fun to spend the night in jail
He had no "Triple A" for a tow truck
Called them anyway: Goleta, hear them say, "Hey pal, you're fucked!"
Dave's a decent guy, like most of us, until he drinks
And then his liquid mind takes over how he thinks
And then all that matters is having fun, pulling off the next beer run
On one too many nights, the party's over
He's driving through your yard, there's nothing you can do
Dave's behind the wheel, and he's had more than one or two
Suburban families slumber in civility
Can't you see
We the people can make the choices
You and I must raise our voices
To build a future where we belong
Revoke oppression and right and wrong
But do you vote or do you only complain
Do you just carry on in vain
As your economy crashes,
Your country goes to war
The deficit
Their answer to tax the poor
But you may never know
What you refuse to learn
Do you work the system
Or do you get burned?
Do you ignore your abilities
Or your intellect?
Are you obselete?
An easy out, you forget it all
But it's the hardest path
And you chase to follow
You wouldn't speak for yourself
And now you're spoken for
This is something you can not ignore
It's time
For you to notice
The things that die
With no more lies
You can't deny
You're always high
And you still bitch
Makes me sick
It makes me sick the way you always
Fuckin' bitch
I remember a time when I thought it wasn't fair
The scales of justice did impair
But with no darkness
Theere would never be light
There would never be light
They make your bed, don't they
Long ago they fought and died for faith - what's changed ?
It's said that we've acquired tolerance to build more bridges
Cross those rivers, yet modern man enslaves his conscious
And the undertow of blame still flows between
Give it birth to the machine - hostilities of ancestry
Slow to understand the variance - quick to judge on one aspect - rust
We call them fools today - they will call us fools in days to come - always
In any age it's ignorance
He that he's not with me is against me
The river of pride swells to high, washing those bridges out to sea
Give it birth to the machine
Too proud to love - Too proud
Soaking in your fears - rusting away
Never comprehending - always condescending
Slow to understand the variance - quick to judge - quick to condem
Carried them for years - stones that they once cast
Place the blame on them as if it were their past
Yesterdays distrust
Resent, Regret, disgust
Still we pay for their living - pay for their mistakes
Who will cast the latest stones of hate
Pay for their misgivings - pay for their living - still we find that on the surface there
As you sat on the bed
Moments from your end
Inconceivable dread
Inches from your head
I can't bear to imagine you
In that horror scene
One too sad to be
In my mind's eye I am there
Embracing you so scared
Now you kill me too
You killed me too
Decidedly willing to lie for you
Absolutely willing to cry for you
Ill at ease in saying goodbye to you
A part of me will never know
I am there, again, intervals of red
An accomplice to
Things I couldn't do
In a fable disabled
I say words like foolish son
God what have you done
I'm a thin blue clich, hopelessly
I'm a mouthful of doubtful
Decidedly willing to lie for you
Say again
Willing to cry for you
Finally saying goodbye to you
A part of you I'll never know
Looking through the spyglass in a punctured sky
While your garden died
You couldn't see the sky for your fallen stars
Endless in your arms
You were still alive even as the sad astronaut
Get up, smile, find a need,
wash your hair, bleach your teeth
Develop habit,
Automatic
Compromise, build a bridge,
Sacrifice, sacrilege
Sell yourself,
Automatic
Nobody out there knows
None of them have intent
Pretension and purpose
Fashioned in plastic heads
Everyone drives all day
None of them have a goal
Everyone lost their way
All of them play the game
Set a goal
Make it happen
Imagine love
Fake a passion
Change your name
Stay in fashion
Make a deal
Make it happen
Compromise, build a bridge
Sacrifice, sacrilege
Same cars
Same clothes
Same desires
Same woes
Lose it all
Automatic
Nobody out there feels
None of them sees the end
Pretension and purpose
Fashioning in plastic heads
Everyone drives all day
Searching their empty hearts
Everyone's lost their way
All of us fall apart
Automatic
Automatic
I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightning.
I see bad times today.
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.
All right!
Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
Cause i'm a bad scene
And here's everyone to blame but me
Everyone points
We all have all our selfish points
A broken machine
Used to puke up something good when we fed it
And i'm sure i'll miss it
Not so sure i'll ever see you
Five years desensitized
You're my inspiration
Ten thousand silent miles to hell
Four well drinks, I am well
Six months in hiatus
A lifetime too short to save us
Never wanted to be famous
A good day to die off shameless
So fuck longevity
When there is no use in searching for a noose
Hanging on to abuse
Sick of hanging around and waiting
Cause it's bad scene
And there's everyone to blame but me
Everyone points
We all have our selfish points
A broken machine
Used to puke up someting good when we fed it
I'm against it
All that we've been through
And all we can't undo
I'm picking out the songs to set the mood
They'll play them at a funeral for you
I have been the only friend
I have stayed until the end
I'm telling you my brother
I am through!
It's a measure of pity
That I won't carry... I won't carry
It's a matter of duty
But I won't carry... I won't carry you
Most of us have our secrets
One deep-rooted mark we can't remove
I'm guessing yours still owns you
I can't dig mine up to bury you
I have been the only friend
I have stayed until the end
I'm telling you my brother
I am through!
I will lie with the guilty
But I won't carry... I won't carry...
It's a measure of bad dreams
The turn out tonight is weak
The crowd is looking meager
Only 40 to 50 in the flock
But 3 more beers and I'm playin' Woodstock
And you can probably see that we're not all that tight
A couple more drinks will alter your sight
That does not mean fight
I'm not saying I have to be drunk
But tequila shots make it more fun
I'm havin' fun
Oh, Beer Goggles
I love to put them on
Next to eachother at the bar
She's thinkin' he's the one
I'm thinkin' where's my car
She thinks I look good
Obviously she didn't smell that fart
"Oh, what kind of cologne is that you're wearing?"
Hey man, it's a start
"Hi, my name's Barbie"
"My name's Ken"
The perfect couple 'cause we're drunk in the head
I'm drunk again
The turn out tonight is weak
The crowd is looking meager
Only 40 to 50 in the flock
but 3 more beers and I'm playin' Woodstock
And you can probably see that we're not all that tight
A couple more drinks will alter your sight
That does not mean fight
I'm not saying I have to be drunk
but tequila shots make it more fun
I'm havin' fun
(Chorus)
Oh, Beer Goggles
I love to put them on
Next to eachother at the bar
She's thinkin' he's the one
I'm thinkin' where's my car
She thinks I look good
Obviously she didn't smell that fart
"Oh, what kind of cologne is that you're wearing?"
Hey man, it's a start
"Hi, my name's Barbie"
"My name's Ken"
The perfect couple 'cause we're drunk in the head
I'm drunk again
(Repeat Chorus)
And one size fits all!!!
Breaking down in surround
Alarms are deafening
Alone in immersion
Drowning in the dream
Billions in the shadow
Of one you won't deceive
All we know is failure
All we have is us
How can I forgive you for breaking our last trust
Billions of sincerities
And one you will believe
You have to honor me
You have to honor me
Our lives are incomplete without our honesty,
Our honesty
Breaking down the numbers
Eliminate the waste
Nothing's ever perfect
Forget about disgrace
Fuck the purist!
Fuck the tourist!
Fuck the bourgeoisie!
You have to honor me
I have to honor you
Our lives are incomplete without our honesty
My life is incomplete without our honesty,
Billy Club has got his strength
It places him above them
The feeble incompletes
Billy Club has found his pride
He looks down on their state
The verdict justified
It's self-defense
It's vigilance
It's nature's call
Oppose them all
The lesser ones are the vital threat
He needs them
Billy Club has got his faith
He's followed every lead
Set down in history
Billy Club has found his place
It's comforting and cold
It's here he realized his role
And here it comes
That old defense
He's consequence
But he has chosen
The iron grip
His Billy Club
Desensitized.
He's everywhere
He's anyone. He's every...
He knows no shame, and takes no blame
This simpleton, sees everything
He's only satisfied, to point out other's mistakes
Never afraid, to use his pride
His tradition is old, his faith a hand-me-down, the family
He wears them on his sleeve, morale and values left under a christmastree
He once had the gift, this image in his grandparents eyes
No guns, no drugs, no rape, no end
This vacant soul, is pale and blue, in empty gaze, his crow's feet are
A vision of defeat sick and tired of the meaninglessness
The irrationale he's desensitized, his every need and emotion
A cup half empty, but full of euphoria he's,
Searching for the light switch in the dark, to switch his routine
To find a reason, to find faith in piece of mind
When one to many beliefs die, it's tough to see through these black eyes
Everyone forgives everyone forgets
Everyone is true and no one here will lie to you
He knows the truth, he knows the truth, here nothing's certain
Disregard what you've learned, to find faith in piece of mind
You've got a think about being lame
You think you'll show us all your handicap is great
You've got a think about being lost
You think with our concern you'll find yourself
And you'll never be forgotten
Your family never wanted this one with all of her flaws
She's trailing far behind she's feeling incomplete
She has no will to win, listening, I live inside your room
And you punish me as though I punish you
Dumb, before it's done I am saint, will you tell me now
I never could relate to how you've been forgotten
Your family never wanted this one with all of her flaws
But I wanna know was this deprivation of money or of love
This is the last time you will be denied girl
You want that world that they took away
Go pick up the pieces find inner strenght 'cause I can't save you
Find the life you left in a box the world, you said has cut you off
Bombs await you, bombs away
Now let them all fall down
You carry the burden, it fills you with regret, you never finished
That feeling incomplete, you carry their baggage, the guilt that holds you down
Bombs away now 'cause life's been so hard and so long
If you could feel your legs falling out,
Then you might find the strength
To stand your ground.
Then you´d be close to them,
Then you´d be close to god,
But you know you´re not.
If you could make a fist you could punch,
If you could fly your faith you could jump,
Born in security, fear of most everything
And anyone you can be.
It could have been dull Kristina,
We could have been sane.
It isn´t just death, drugs and lost love,
These honors leave stains.
Just let the freaks of failure sing over-night songs,
The B side is real and it plays on.
Hey Kristina are you sleeping in?
I'm leaving you another long message.
Interstate 10, I lost my voice again,
This game was fixed
It seems that I've been eighty-sixed.
But your life is one zero zero one in analog faith,
And even if you connect them too little too late,
Cause your life is like a B side,
It's odder then a,
The B side is real and it plays on.
if you could say something that fascinated me
the air in your small world might clear to breathe lamens terms
king of fools illiterate you'd rather be in this back seat
playing to the gallery and they remember all their lines
they all remember the dirt i'm through humoring you
i am learning to hate you it's true i'm through
humoring you i've been drinking and sleeping
my enemies' holiday ends
identified we speak untruths
because there's strength in numbers forced to relate
in a world depraved identify along
we speak in tongues give me lamens terms
the air in this small world might clear
but they won't remember you they will remember the dirt,
the joke i'm through
humoring you i am learning to hate you it's true
i'm through humoring
you i've been living and dying
my enemies' holiday ends
Well, the monkeys in the trees are happy
The coconuts are turning green
The coconut boy climbs up to the top of the tree
Gathered a nice ripe coconut
Put 'em in a coconut sack
He climbs right down with the coconuts on his backpack
And the wind blows through the coconut trees
The monkeys, they hang on tight
The cuckoo bird sings at the 'Huc'alaa hula' tonight
When the wind blows through the coconut trees
The monkeys, they hang on tight
Cristy can't take all the pressure
Kevin hates the girls he dates
Mia says she's gonna snap I need a new car to drive away
Derek beats up all his grilfriends
Jessie like to comb his hair
Hanacek is on the wagon, I tried not to speak today
You slip and fall they pick you up and throw you down again
I left them there and found them here
I was rarely smart enough to dodge the careless words
You find them everywhere it breaks you into two
Emily had sex with Joey
Chris is weird he must be gay
Everyone is smoking h and I tried hard to laugh today
Every word you hear you repeat
Every word you repeat you change
Here's a quarter there's a phone, why don't you call someone who cares
Morning has broken
Mr. Coffee has spoken
The familiar wake-up call
Sings to my ears
I wake up with a shrug
To the floor with a thud
Where in this hellhole is my coffee mug?
I can now face the day
On legal speed (The American way)
I'm sketching
I'm seizin
I'm spazing
I'm shaking
I can not stop spilling on my brand new shirt
I-I-I'm wired
I'm so inspired
I drank the entire pot
So off to work
Here I come to save the day
On legal speed (The American way)
Drinking coffee
I drink coffee
i don't wanna defeat you i don't wanna be sad
i don't wanna forgive you i don't wanna be mad
'cause it's always say what you wanted to say
as you're walking away and i can't take this disappointment again
and i'm waiting... i don't wanna be near you
i don't wanna be far i don't wanna forgive you
but i wanted to start
'cause it's always say what you wanted to say
as you're walking away
and i can't take this silent treatment again
and i'm waiting, and i'm waiting...
for you i don't wanna defeat you
i don't wanna be mad i don't wanna forgive
you i don't wanna be sad
yes it's always say what you wanted to say
as you're walking away
and i can't take this silent treatment again
and i'm waiting, and i'm waiting... for you for you
Late, I can stay up late
In and out of bed
Cleaning up the mess
Trying to be honest
'Cause I know I am on it
In this the last time I speak of it
The loyalties that have been broken
Mine isn't dead
One thing is true
Nothing is sacred
When everyone's talking
And nobody's listening
When we confide in all those friends
They're just messengers
One thing is true
You throw the matters into blue skies
Turning to grey,
Falling out everyday
One thing that's free
I confide in you with the truth
Late, I can stay up late
In and out of bed
No more waiting on them
As you rise inside new rooms
It's offical you've gone
You can live for no one else
Man the guilt must be huge
As there's no gain in failure
You succeed at being mine
Yeah, old friend, see you there
I will be proud from afar
I can paint a picture
In a moment of memories
And there aren't many left
I am extradited, uninvited
It's just another saturday
Take a step to freedom
You and her lothing this cruel world
Take a breath of shelter and exhale
Trust and allegiance
Leberate yourself from hell
No more waiting on them
as you rise inside new rooms
It's offical you've gone
you can live for no one else
Man the guilt must be huge
As there's no gain in failure
you succeed at being mine
Yeah, old friend, see you there
I will be proud from afar
I can paint a picture in a moment
of memories and there aren't many left
I am extradited, uninvited
It's just another saturday
Take a step to freedom
You and her lothing this cruel world
Take a breath of shelter and exhale
Trust and allegiance
Liberate yourself from hell
It's just another Saturday
He doesn't know what he's gonna say,
Put in the unit to deplete Ozone Layers,
Unemployment is my scene,
Brain dead - the fumes I breath,
Put in the unit to deplete Ozone Layers,
Carp fucking sucks,
Too dumb to care,
The S.B-Goleta connection,
Feelin' like a champion,
All aboard the lagwagon,
It's fast enough for me,
Slow,
Me,
And,
My,
Friends,
On the Couch,
Give me a sofa, and some snacks
The idiot box-that T.V trash
The V.C.R, some stupid films,
The remote control,
Fuck the bills,
There's no point in a job,
The pay just sucks if you're a slob,
I'm not lying,
I'm lazy,
And all my friends are just like me,
Garga jibs and metal riffs
Beer bongs and bong hits
I fucking hate that scene
Santa Barbara boredom
Goleta-postmortem
Small town minds,
Can you relate to me?
All aboard the lag wagon (repeat 9 times)
Laggin'!
Can you please slow down, please?
Stop!
Can you please slow this thing down, please?
Stop!
Can you please slow this down?
Stop!
I'm getting used to getting old but where's my ambition - Days of omission
I feel broken down inside because my words seem to be trite adding
To the overwhelming
Always a question of truth your truths question my efficiency
Shocking - The words you can't hear
Impact - The words I can't write
Recycled words don't justify...
None of these words suffice searching for the sharp words
To drive the message in I put the last words down then I begin
To question the truth
Your truths question my efficienty
Impact the words you can't hear
Shocking the words I can't write
As you in this search for something to hate
I can feel you rally around someone
With your peers
But can you stand alone
Can you take the long way home
Cause I stood in the circle
A hundred times before
And I feel safer in the eye of a storm
You can throw your stones
I'll only bleed for you one day
They all answer to the hearsay
But they will only care for one day
It's so small and I would love
To show you all
I can see you in the middle of a doubt
You told them we had a falling out
Sick your dogs on me
As you take the easy way out
So I will be a freak show
When the circus comes to town
And I will rain on your parade
Without a sound
Then we will draw a crowd
That's only breaking down for one day
I graduate this calss with honors
I will never fail drama
Making friends
Waging war on the arms race of sound
Turn it down
Pull the plug
Imminent surrender
Ringing in the new Dark Age
Shut down the noise-aholics
Put down the quiet-ophobics
In a daydream of peace
In a calmness too brief
My lullaby is killing
My lullaby be stilling
It could be such sweet silence
From static from violence from...
Volume is the modern currency
Everyone competing for air space
Everybody's dumb
Shouting muddled words as though they're deaf
Big brother isn't watching anymore
He knows we are distracted and absorbed
Broadcasting our grief
Our imagination's atrophied
We can't think
If I could sing them all to sleep
If I could sing myself deaf
Wouldn't it be lovely?
Doesn't it sound perfect?
Every generation hates the next
I will save the millions from a slow insufferable death
I'll put them to sleep
Save them from progressive misery
I'm counting
If I could sing myself to sleep
If I could sing myself deaf
Wouldn't it be lovely?
Doesn't it sound perfect?
My lullaby is killing
My lullaby be stilling
Memorized.
Involuntary
One more time, falling on new ground
bracing a chase lounge, i'm a member
this one truth, i can be discrete
words that escape me, i remember
clarity watching eyes, i can't see i can't read
passion-less vacation
youre not telling anyone
the sum falls in a whole it's chemistry chemical
Follow the pattern if you can stick around it will change again
One more line stay focused hollow, why'd I feel sick?
misunderstanding tempting tolerance
you're not telling anyone, I'm not telling anyone
this sounds atrocious, the miles horrific
I recognise those last words, ill hang on to mine
lying out in the sun keep it like a secret
Hell, It may seem not full well all dried up and
here comes the chemist again, this is everything I am.
Butter on a summer day, when she's around.
I was on the track when the gate came down.
Certainly I recognized
those blood-shot rear-view mirror eyes of mine.
I heard that whistle call my name.
I almost drove away, but Megan I
had a feeling that you would be on that train
so I just waited there for you
Another ride to another town where the air was clean
and the sun never goes down.
Everyone was standing in a line
between the landing and the stairs.
I heard somebody call my name
I almost climbed the stairs, but Megan I
had a feeling that someday you'd meet me there.
So I just waited there for you.
Butter on a summer day when I hear that name
like a dream that never came true.
Sat down on the track and waited for a train
to take me back to you.
Somebody came and took my hand.
I finally had to go.
But Megan I just want you to know
that I waited as long as I could.
Butter on a summer day, when she's around....
rainy day
I'm counting sheep in may
woke up dreaming of the sun
and the work you could have done
mid-life lent
i've come here to repent
in a time-lapse document
meaningful as when we met
through the laugh-track
I'm still wailing for you mission accomplished
hey man hey man i'm alive
i hope they don't mind
i changed my mind i changed my mind
tumble down
white hills in blue background
even in this dream sequence
you won't explain nor confess
Here he is. He saves a grin
He wants to be the one who doesn't have to sink a level
Indiscrete, in his retreat
All he need is just a taste of the bitter pride he held in her name
Embrace the solitude in ordinary fucked up state of grace
Far away from the days he bared
The cross he used to wear
In some resolve well aware
A little pitiful, a pin up boy they dress in grieving wear
Well at ease in consent
In the drift of undertow
He won't justify the pity from them
When he knows...fools in love are arrogant
Their sermons cloud his breathing air
He's in love with an isolation from emotion
Here he is awaiting sentence
A fool to think that anyone can escape guilt and anguish
A subtlety that can't be learned
A subtlety that can't be taught
He is caught in the lure of second thoughts
He might still care
As he settles down well aware
Bound in secrecy. His voice will
Only dignify their fears
But sorrow is signified
i pulled over for a teabag i thought of you,
it wasn't bad you had direction and drive
and you arrived at closing time
to find they wiped down the bar
and they built you a bed laid your head to rest
and left you try to true again
you maybe proud then as it was always wish
for thought i would imagine you off
maybe i could see you again
we could sit down and have a moment
and talk about your suicide
and i would put away your death
if you could put away the dope
and all our enemies,
well there's no time for you to know them
any crooked mind disease
but hopeless fools they will be missing you
i pulled over for nostalgia
i thought of suffering the joke
no one delivered the punchline
no resolution is here
i couldn't sharpen the view
and it's still drawn to you waiting
on the new but then this story
Angry youth
Mr. Elite
Your older now
Inside your head lives an old scene
Mr. Punk
Sad and hating everyone
Your excuse is old
The way you felt has left you hating yourself
Cause everyone is so confused
You never worked for a cent
Self-destructive you pay your debt
Cause you miss another time
When all your friends were divine
Now all of them have gone or changed
Do you still live in angry days?
But when you've lost someone you love
When your mask is taken off
Does life cut you down to size?
Does it open up your eyes?
Beacuse they all have found their way
As you struggle through your maze
You built those walls of hate
Would it make you feel much better
If it was you against the world
If you were an alien
If it were conspiracy
And would it hurt to live in comfort
If you found someone to trust
If you knew that you were with us
If we shared a common goal
But you will isolate, alienate
No one can appreciate
The poor miss understood
Can you see that I don't care anymore
Do you ever stop to listen
Are you a martyr for your pride
Does it makes you fell much better
Here we go again
Until one of us says when
Making old mistakes
The brake lights illuminate
Accidents repeat
You can count on me
Crushing you in vain
'Cause I will save you
You can hate me
We're so well adjusted
Darlin' it's pathetic justice
Find out where I breathe
Suffocate my needs
Van Gough kept his ears
But I will love you
You won't save me
We're so well adjusted
Darlin' it's pathetic justice
It's already better than last time I ruined another girl's life
I am a portrait of serenity and desperate need
I'll hold you here until you cannot breathe
If I break up with you
You'll find someone new
So I'll choose misery
And I will save you
You can hate me
They'll all be disgusted
Darlin' it's poetic
i want to mute the scene to turn back the clocks and turn them off
and feel your silence shut them out block my ears
and i wanna hear of some way or down and out
and all else is separation my watches when you heave for the last
in a conscience moment i could live in nice and regret
here in the past my choose makes memories
and more you clearly maybe think that i have something to live for
buried in the dirt someone will dig and pull the fleet for once
and believe and then you pray for me ?? an undefined promise to heed,
I'm all right
Tell me you're all right
Almost there
Barely here
I knew that this day would have to come
Wailing on the wall
Watching giants fall
I know there's a message to receive
Written in debris
It's meaning's hard to see
The loss of innocence
Means nothing in the new world
All our hands are red
Everyone is guilty now
I'm all right
Tell me you're all right
Stop my eyes...
Open wide
Another idiot glued to the box
Frozen to the screen
Scared to turn it off
Quiet shock gives way to righteousness
Rattle on the bars
Vengeance will be ours
Fanatics on their knees
Pray for a swift and just revenge
Become what they condemn
Mirror image men
Hands across America, let's catch contact hysteria
Our flag erects from broken homes, July 4 for evermore
Colors of democracy
Fly from every SUV
The misspelled bumper sticker's here
Where did all the honor students go?
Numbers on the news
This time with familiar names
This time on familiar ground
This reality in your back yard
So the fences fall
Will you redefine them all?
Will you choose shelter or empathy?
The world we share has come too close
With borders blown from glass
We collect stones and cast them
They say the party never stops
But I know we cannot get off
Another idiot comes on the box
Breathing privileged air
Preaching to the fair
Rallying one muscle under God
Leading on the cheer
Leaning on their fears
The state of ignorance means nothing to the faithful
God is with us now
Not elected, no evade, no constituency, no regard from government, no more
sense for charity, I don't want suck democracy, want to keep my dignity, my
eyes see the reality, nothing just insanity, you're life is lake an irony, we
venture, strike reality, media will always keep you, raiding you up
Strong believes
Without a doubt, you can not figure out what life is all about and are trapped
to feel
Two more watt where you keep fighting, you're empty inside, life, life, life,
life, for me it's electrifying, I'm totally stoned, singing and ringing up till
we are dead cause you're life is like an irony, we venture, strike reality,
media will always keep you, raiding you up
Strong believes
Without a doubt, yeah, strong believes without a doubt, how can you, how can
you, how can you
Have strong believes without a doubt, have strong believes without a doubt, how
can you, you can even think that life counts?
Not elected, no evade, no constituency, no regard from government, no more
sense for charity, I don't want suck democracy, no way, it's just dignity, my
eyes see the real world, nothing just insanity, my life is lake an irony, we
venture, strike reality, media will always keep you, raiding you up
Life
Labors of commitment
Blood of his arms
A growing sense of duty
But in his song he's screaming out
Insuficient - he just falls further
Behind Principles, purpose, tradition, time
Weigh heavy on this guilty
Mind Wits astray
Blind in rage, awar he'll wage on grieving
Another no one hanging from the ceiling
Because only the extreme makes an impression
When drowning in the mainstream
One at the mercy of another's faith finally answers to no one in his fall from grace
They say they love him but how could they ever
Miles above him they ask for repent
It doesn't matter what you want from me
Don't think there's worth in my apology
Because people never really change
You and I will always be the same and it's a problem that we can't mend
Because it happened once it will happen again
Because they plant their seeds of condition
Until we have no choice, we lose conviction wits astray
Blind in rage a war he'll wage on grieving
Another no one blows his head off
Because only the extreme makes an impression
girl, it's been a long time that we've been apart
much too long for a man that needs love
i miss you since i've been away babe,
it wasn't easy to leave you alone it's been harder now
that i'm gone if i had a choice
i would stay there's no one like you
i can't wait for the nights with you
i imagine the things we do
i just wanna be loved by you no one like you
i can't wait for the nights with you
i imagine the things we do
i just wanna be loved by you girl,
yeah i really know where it's strong
or not i've been wanting that 12 year old love
i don't want my feelings restrained oh babe,
i just need you like never before
i've been watching you since you were four
i'll take all my sorrow away killer pussy
i can't wait for the nights with you
i imagine the things we do
i just wanna be loved by you no one like you
i can't wait for the nights with you
i imagine the things we do
i just wanna be loved by you there's no one like you
i can't wait for the nights with you
i imagine the things we do
i just wanna be loved by you no one like you
i can't wait for the nights with you
i imagine the things we do
He grew up with nothing
He lived and died poor
A father of four
He left his family temporarily
For a future based on words of chicanery
They said join the Army
Join the Navy
He joined the Marines
And his children were proud
But exhaltation was exhausted
And patronage died
When this expendable number
Left his family of five
Imposture
And all that man wanted was
To provide a better existence for
His kids and wife
An investment that cost him his life
A family of ethics has...
A fatality of war can't be noble enough
To justify the loss of life so young
Continental security
Atonement, there's no such thing
There was no hero in the end
Only letters of resent, remorse, regret
Bitter resent
Imposture
And all those boys wanted was
To be alive,
A return of existence yet
So many died
And those who returned were alone
With nothing awaiting at home
Again the headlines read
"A Noble Soldier Finds A Noble Ending"
They are the ones who can be done without
Expendable numbers forgotten
No doubt
They spoke bravely
It opened our eyes
We swallowed their pride
A new era
So whee is the new advise
It seems the older methods no longer suffice
The very oldeest if thoughts
Cast into the mold of these new times
Vindictive, he raises his fist
The animal is instinctive
Everyone desires peace
But indread of war,
Still arms increase
Perpetual with only one end
When that savage nature destroys them all
All is written
All is forgiven
All is lived again
After all, this worthless progress
Is progress made for change
After all these vain advances
Does that concerned animal value his life?
Cornered
A look in your eyes what can I say
You left us here and it's a shame
I would like to have helped
To begin again
You decided you fate
One thing to live
A look at you now what's in a name
You left them there
It was a shame
They would like to have helped
Again to begin
But potential was yours never ours
Before you chose your fate
Before you asked them all to wait
Left standing there
To watch you play with your matches
One god burn deserves another two
But one thing to live is one thing to live
Selfish fool nobody loves you
Self resent how can they trust you
Walk around with a butt tattoo
It will never do
Why should you die with dignity
You lived in a shame
As you ask them all to wait
Left standing here
To watch you lying in your ashes
One good burn deserves another two
scaling the mountain, i have giving up my pride
and i've taken to disrupt the edge of rose thorns
in my side it's fatal contribution,
it's bitter sweet and blind
and i'm balancing the mountain of compromise
i went over the hill to be with you
i went over the hill i am over the hill to be with you
am i holding on 'til last or holding on to lies?
staying in position objectivity goes by
'cause it's hard to ignore losing when you're winning
all the time and no way to this to help me,
the silly populous 'cause commitment is restraining
and i can't cope i went over the hill over the hill
i am over the hill to be with you am
i holding on 'til last or holding on to lies?
breakfast at your house as my disposition's gone
and i close my eyes to search in treasuring
what i once was i let go of the nose
i thought the west was won but
seems like i had just begun to lose all
ideals i once knew mountains and
transmutation anxious anticipation
these sodden skiey and burning views
short goals and grim objectives soon
rising seas will take your homes
benchmarks and sure salvation creation
and temptation black lungs sing vituous
hate songs antibiotics and disinfectants
germaphobes for stronger infection
cowboys on steroids love tabloids
expecting endless surplus soon they´ll
have nothing left to waste racing from
dogma to distrust unsure why they all
hate us
think about it the world defines you
think about it you should be depressed
and no little pill will make any difference
people for atto seconds bow to the
idiocracy media spun reality nightmares
comes every shut-eye still they won´t
see what they become still they won´t
see what they have done power mad
mass corruption blood money changes
everyone wake each day in panic
and distrust knowing that they all hate
us
think about it the world describes you
think about it you should be anxious
and no little pill will make any difference
One summer morning
He left us ashamed
In some small town of small ways
The one they feared
They might turn to stone
They feared to hold his hand
And he died alone
Don't leave them on - an island of shame
Your solution
You - homophobic
You - coward
You send them away to an island of misery
You're not immune to any disease
I can not argue when the truth is plain to see
In your beliefs, your fear of death
I see reflections of society
We'll take our last breath - alone
Instrumental
[Instrumental]
I used to be a trustworthy guy
I could have bend down my friend
But no one seems to care
Life, it's all just filthy air, right?
But do they giving you anything?
When there is nothing give
But your people kept thinking
They could have mine if you'd like to do, live to all in my life totally jaded
It's all that cool and it doesn't beat
I walk alone with psychic people that I hated
No, I have to dole my jaded ways when there's on more
So you're gonna do her
Before she's gonna do him
Your one demand is to get fucked
And I'll be playing with violence
This act is a whip
And where I would walk for someone else
Just keep time, all our live's getting murdered, in my life so totally jaded
It's all that cool and it doesn't beat
I walk alone with psychic people that I hated
Oh, I have to dole my jaded ways when there's on more
Your life will not last
But can I keep this life in junction, never talked with people that life would
I need quiet chatter with the way too damned, I just don't have the time
The time gets short, it's not in your butt but my nature, is there something
wrong with me?
And now I know you're the one to play, you laughed out of your stupid hate
Here
Why he can't wait, people leave this things
They love their vices and virtue
And she's afraid of much other chicks
And so they give her that piece of shit
I get the dynamo fraction
So give me just your fucking sleeves
But it will all come back at you
I hope that I'm around to see you live your life totally jaded
It's all just cool, you have no fear
You walk alone, just microdont shit, you are jaded
It's......time to get up and stress out
We're driving to another town
We're never gonna make sound check
So I can't even take a shit
No showers, shaving or coffee
I can't fuckin' brush my teeth
"C'mon we're already late man, let's go"
Hurr up and wait
Wait
I've already come to terms
With bridges I have burned
We all make mistakes
We keep preparing for the worst
So it won't seem adverse
Just like we rehearsed
Click, two, three, heartbreaking music
So close to loss we use it
How much honesty's healthy
Say what's on your mind
The only way to be
Drugs are only for dessert
Do your homework first
We don't administer the cure for that thirst
'Cause it's always been heartbreaking music
So close to death we use it
Killing
Writing this over and over
It'll never mend
I am the jest malignant cell
Playwright to your hell
I think I knew you well
But I wish I were as smart as you
I could I have changed your mind
Would have, should have, the question 'til I die
But it's always been heartbreaking music
So close to life we abuse it
Killing
Controlled, consumed
Thoughts unattached
Each one a failed synapses detached from fact
One positive, one negative
Desperate, holding on to healthy images
Remember witness, wattness, matters, we're not gonna make it
Provoking everyone but no one gives a:
Half laugh, half sigh
Half-sad, half-smile
Losing ability to recall his half-life
Burn from the stove
Keys locked inside
Dazed as impending anger turns up in reprise
Remember green light, keeper, easy and eyes on the road ahead
Provoking everyone with all the words he said
Infectious
I won't speak of all that would have been
Gained, lost, spent
But I won't think of all that could have been
Controlled, consumed
Thoughts unattached
Outburst, these images are melding in my head
Remember Franken, Milkweg, Lintfabrik
The weirdest we have seen
Fires and blown-out tires
Perfect tragedy
Infectious
I won't think of all that should have been
Waste, lost, spent
But I won't think of all that could have been
I can't make the damn phone ring
it's simply pathetic if i call you anymore
i can't figure it now
we tallied our scores i got knocked out
i know when you come to town
i know where you drop your dime and whom it's for i'm not good enough to time your cup of coffee 15 years...
was long enough
look at me.
i'm an old colleague
another hard knocks day acquaintance
finally you are free of me
it must be true or you'd give a minute
but it's always my fault
always it's your forgiveness
this unbalanced resolve
i must be hateful
so i hang up the phone
call it a small sacrifice
you still hear me now
dear you, the vinyl it was blue
stalking poor blake commiserating drunks at sea
do you remember when jawbreaker rocked "the boat"? i'm sure you do... and don't
look at me.
i'm an old fly buddy
just a blue coach class acquaintance
finally you are free of me
it must be true 'cause it only makes sense
i can still see you now
pictures are in every town
i can still write it down "i must be hateful"
i can hang up the phone
even at those lofty heights
You jump in front of the bullet
The family put you to it
You might survive the first thousand shots
Back to the end of the line
You hold the will to survive them
Answer to those you have failed
Time to clean your room and show you are able to stop
Beating yourself down
You've arrived
A wealth of respect, a world of a regard
You've always belonged
You have to go on
I just want you to feel the gun in your hand
You used to hold aspiration
You couldn't see the limitations
Even in your youth you were unsurpassed
But driven by grief and it couldn't last
Sometimes promise,
Sometimes goodbye
Confessed to all through bloodshot eyes
I just want you to feel the gun in your hand
It only breakds you untill you get off
I'm not gonna watch you kill yourself to live
It's all so average until you get off
I'm not gonna wait here until the body's cold
Gotta drive all night if not a go
Got to designate a driver before the show
It's your turn now at the wheel
There's nothing like a guard rail
To wake you up in the middle of the night
And we are drivin' north, goin' south
It looks like we'll sleep here
We're out of beer
We're headed south on the north bound
Our wheels might as well be square
Cause we're not really getting anywhere
Tire tracks throughout, felt the brakin'
I don't think we're gonna make it
Drivin' around, goin' down
It looks like we'll sleep here,
I need a beer
South, goin' south, check us out we're goin' south
South, headed south, check it out, we're goin' down
