She's Got Issues

I'm seeing this girl and she just might be out of her mind
Well she's got baggage and it's all the emotional kind
She talks about closure and that validation bit
I don't mean to be insensitive, but I really hate that shit

And I said yeah, yeah
Oh man she's got issues
And I'm gonna pay
Yeah, yeah
She thinks she's the victim
Yeah

Now I know she'll feel abandoned
If I don't stay over late
And I know she's afraid to commit
But it's only our second date

And I said yeah, yeah
Oh man she's got issues
And I'm gonna pay
Yeah, yeah
She says she's the victim
But she takes it all out on me

I don't know why you're messed up
I don't know why your whole life is a chore
Just do me a favour
And check your baggage at the door

Now she talks about her ex nonstop, but I don't mind
But when she calls out his name in bed
That's where I draw the line
You told me a hundred times how your father left and he's gone
But I wish you wouldn't call me daddy
When we're gettin' it on

And I said yeah, yeah
Oh man she's got issues
And I'm gonna pay
Yeah, yeah
She's playing the victim
And taking it all out on me
Yeah, yeah
My god she's got issues
And I'm gonna pay
Gonna pay
Gonna pay
Gonna pay
Gonna pay
Gonna pay

Wooh....Yeah

If you think I'm controlling
Then why do you follow me around
If you're not co-dependent
Then why do you let others drag you down

I don't know why you're messed up
I don't know why your whole life is a chore
Just do me a favour
And check your baggage at the door

Sin City

Diamonds and dust
(home at last) Poor man last, rich man first
Lamborghinis, caviar
Dry martinis, Shangri-la
I got a burning feeling
Deep inside of me
It's yearning
But I'm going to set it free

[Chorus:]
I'm going in to sin city
I'm gonna win in sin city
Where the lights are bright
Do the town tonight
I'm gonna win in sin city

(I'm gonna rule you baby)

Ladders and snakes
Ladders give, snakes take
Rich man, poor man, beggarman, thief
Ain't got a hope in hell, that's my belief

Fingers Freddy, Diamond Jim
They're getting ready, (Better get ready,)
Look out I'm coming in ('cause I'm coming in)
So spin that wheel, cut that pack
And roll those loaded dice
Bring on the dancing girls
And put the champagne on ice

Smash

Head over heels I've fit in before,
now, I don't want to do it no more.
I've held it all in with blood on my face,
built it up man so bad you can taste.

I don't slag no one,
I don't even judge.
Don't give a shit cause I'm not gonna budge.
I just want to be who I want to be,
Guess that's hard for others to see.

I'm not a trendy asshole.
I do what I want,
I do what I feel like.
I'm not a trendy asshole.
I don't give a fuck if it's good enough for you.
Cause I'm alive.

Smash is the way you feel all alone,
like an outcast you're out on your own.
Smash is the way you deal with your life,
like an outcast you're smashing your strife.

Head over heels I've fit in before,
now, I don't want to do it no more.
I just want to be who I want to be,
guess that's hard for the others to see.

I'm not a trendy asshole.
I do what I want,
I do what I feel like.
I'm not a trendy asshole.
I don't give a fuck if it's good enough for you.
'Cause I'm alive.

Smash It Up

We've been cryin'out for much too long
And never gonna dance to a different song
I'm gonna scream and shout till my dying breath
I'm gonna smash it up till there's nothing left
Ooh smash it up
Smash it up smash it up
Ooh smash it up
Smash it up smash it up

People call me weird, oh it's such a shame
Maybe it's my clothes, must be to blame
I don't even care if I look a mess
Don't wanna be a sucker like all the rest

Smash it up
And you can keep your crystal glasses
Smash it up
And you can see a very dead-way end
Smash it up
And you can stick a frothy lager
Smash it up
Up the fuck with your lesson

We've been cryin' out for much too long
And never gonna dance to a different song
I'm gonna scream and shout till my dying breath
I'm gonna smash it up till there's nothing left

And everybody's smashing things down
I said everybody's smashing things down

So alone

Look at the crowd and tell me whether
All are surrounded
But none are together
If you're awake, look all around
At all of the people
Still you're so alone
So alone
So Alone
So Alone

If I could, I'd make a suggestion
Without sounding preachy
Or begging the question
Melt with your minds
Melt with each other
Don't be surrounded
Don't be so alone
So Alone
So Alone
So Alone

Something to believe in

I believe that reality's gone
Disillusion's real
I believe that morality's gone
And there's nothing to feel
If you take the sacred things
The things that we hold dear
Empty promise is all you'll find
So give me something
Something to believe in
I believe in a changing of the guard
Put our feet on the ground
See it happen in your own backyard
Everything breaks down
Do you accept what you are told
Without even thinking
Throw it all and make your own
And give me something
Something to believe in
Where they lead
You will follow
Well I guess that's just the way it goes
And if you look away
You'll be doing what they say
An if you look alive
You'll be singled out and tried
If you take home anything
Let it be your will to think
The more cynical you become
The better off you'll be

Spare Me the Details

My girlfriend, my dumb donut
Went out to a party just the other night
But three hours later and seven shots of jäger,
She was in the bedroom with another guy

And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And I really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air

And well, I'm not the one who acted like a hoe
Why must I be the one who has to know?
I'm not the one who messed up big time
So spare me the details, if you don't mind

Now I can understand friends who wanna tell me
Think they're gonna help me open up my eyes
But the play-by-play makes me want to lose it
Everytime you do it, man, it turns the knife

And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And i really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air

And well, I'm not the one who acted like a hoe
Why must I be the one who has to know?
I'm not the one who messed up big time
So spare me the details, if you don't mind

Now I don't need to hear about the sounds they were making
And I don't need to hear about how long it was taking
Or how the walls, they were shaking

Now I'm lying in bed, wallowing in sorrow
Missing the tomorrow that we could have had
Running through my head, over and over
Things I never told her now just make me sad
And it drives me insane, sitting with a vision
Stuck with that image burned into my brain
And I feel so dumb that I could ever trust her
While someone else fucked her, then walked away

And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And I really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air

And so, I'm not the one who acted like a hoe
Why must I be the one who has to know?
I'm not the one who messed up big time
So spare me the details, if you don't mind

(Cause I don't wanna know)
(Don't wanna know) Spare me the details if you don't mind
(Don't wanna know)
(Don't wanna know) Spare me the details if you don't mind

Special Delivery

Hey now do you see me down the way?
I've been watching you every day
In my car on your street is where I stay
I know you better that way
One day I'll be meeting you for real
You'll feel bad like I feel

It'll blow you away
You're gonna fall for me, You're gonna fall for me
And the voices told me to blow you away
You're gonna fall for me, You're gonna fall for me


Hey now when I'm knocking on your door
This special delivery is yours
My infatuation, it's true
Hello, got something for you

It'll blow you away
You're gonna fall for me, You're gonna fall for me
And the voices told me to blow you away
You're gonna fall for me, You're gonna fall for me
If you hadn't sold me I'd still be away
You're right in front of me, you're right in front of me
Then, I'll be on my way
Breathing you okay

Oogaa ooga chaka
Can't break from my sins
Cannot pray.

But you can't kill a man when he's got no hope
God, help me

It'll blow you away
You're gonna fall for me, You're gonna fall for me
And the voices told me to blow you away
You're gonna fall for me, You're gonna fall for me
If you hadn't sold me I'd still be away
You're right in front of me, you're right in front of me
Then, I'll be on my way
When you breathe onto me

Staring At the Sun

Maybe life is like a ride on the freeway
Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them

If I seem bleak
Well, you'd be correct
And if I don't speak
It's 'cause I get disconnected
But I won't be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun

(Hey!)
When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway. (Hey!)
When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away. (Hey!)
There's more to living than only surviving
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying

Though you hear me
I don't think that you relate
My will is something
That you can't confiscate
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes
As you're starin' at the sun

(Hey!)
When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway. (Hey!)
When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away. (Hey!)
There's more to living than only surviving
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying

Though you hear me
I don't think that you relate
My will is something
That you can't confiscate
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes
As you're starin' at the sun

Maybe life is like a ride on the freeway. (Hey!)
Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way. (Hey!)
Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them

If I seem bleak
Well you'd be correct
And if I don't speak
It's cause I get disconnected
But I won't be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun

Take It Like A Man

When you won't go along
Some will feel like you can't find your way
Heaven knows
Heaven knows I've seen it all before
Now don't get me wrong
I've seen many a life gone astray
When someone goes
All your bows won't make it any better so let it go

CHORUS

Shut up and take it like a man
You need us to get a life
For your own good we'll take you by the hand
'Cause you need a little more


Maybe no one will say it
Maybe no one's aware it goes on
All I know
All I know it's like going off the deep end
Could you make a decision?
Could you think for yourself and go on?
Everyone knows
Everyone knows you've got to fit into the mainstream so save your woes


CHORUS

Close your eyes
Look away now
Make believe while you can
So you'd best go along
Don't let on if you can't find your way
Many more
Many more do it for you
Because heaven knows
Heaven knows it's like playing with fire
Your life's a throw


CHORUS

Tehran

In your plane in the blue sky
You roam again
Words that echo in your mind
Make your heart beat faster
This is no Vietnam
We will win Iran

The President said let it ride (ride)
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Tehran

Warrior, the time bomb's
About to go
What will you feel
Will you ever wonder
If the man that's in your sights
Ever kissed his girl goodbye

The Captain said kill or die (die)
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Tehran

Great Satan (repeat)
Our flags our burning (repeat)

Soon America may find
Its young men in the sand
Where there casualty
Is just a number
In Iran

The President said let it ride (ride)
You will be damned
Make your last stand
In Tehran

The End of the Line

When the siren's flash is gone
And we're left to carry on
All the memories are too few

When the pastor's music plays
And that casket rolls away
I could live again if you
Just stay alive for me

Please stay now, you left me here alone - it's the end of the line
Please stay I can't make it on my own - it's the end of the line
Make it on my own
It's the end of the line

Now that you are dead and gone
And I'm left to carry on
I could never smile cause you
Won't stay alive for me

Finally,
Your final resting day
Is without me
I weep
And think of brighter days
What about me?

You can't take back, the one mistake
That still lives on after life it takes
In that one day, that changed our lives
And bitter memories are left behind

The Kids Aren't Alright

When we were young the future was so bright (whoa)
The old neighborhood was so alive (whoa)
And every kid on the whole damn street (whoa)
was gonna make it big in every beat.

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn (whoa)
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn(whoa)
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives?

Chorus:
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for
What used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams

Go!

Jamie had a chance, well she really did (whoa)
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids (whoa)
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job (whoa)
Just plays guitar, smokes a lot of pot

Jay commited suicide (whoa)
Brandon OD'd and died (whoa)
What the hell is going on?
Cruelest dream reality

Chances blown, nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still, it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Go!

Chances blown, nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still, it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

The Meaning of Life

On the way
Trying to get where I'd like to say
I'm always feeling steered away
By someone trying to tell me
What to say and do
I don't want it
I gotta go find my own way
I gotta go make my own mistakes
Sorry man for feeling
Feeling the way I do


Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Open wide and they'll shove in
Their meaning of life
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
But not for me I'll do it on my own
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
I can't make it work your way
Thanks but no thanks


By the way
I know your path has been tried and so
It may seem like the way to go
Me, I'd rather be found
Trying something new
When the bottom line
In all of this seems to say
There's no right and no wrong way
Sorry if I don't feel like
Living the way you do

Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Open wide and they'll shove in
Their meaning of life
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
But not for me I'll do it on my own
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
I can't make it work your way
Thanks but no thanks

The Noose

(Well our) souls are all mistaken in the same misguided way
We all end up forsaken, we're just choosing our own way
The future now incinerates before our very eyes
And leaves us with the emptiness of no more tries

(Well our) visions of our glory now have spiraled down the drain
The best of our intentions have come crashing down in flames
The depths of our despair we are unable to contain
It's shallow living

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
A truth appalling
Our maker comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising

(Well the) tracers from a yesteryear are burning in the dust
Your bruises are reminders of naivete and trust
You're only feeling stronger cause your body's getting numb
Now I lay you down
Put the coins in your eyes
And blow the candles out

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
A truth appalling
Our maker comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
(2x)

No more! (No more!)
No more! (No more!)
Nothing!

No more! (No more!)
No more! (No more!)
Ever!
No! (No!)
More!
No! (No!)
More!

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
A truth appalling
Our maker comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising

The Worst Hangover Ever

Ballroom scene, but the fire underneath,
Gonna eat you all alive,
Gonna bring you to your knees.

Went out drinking late last night, I had a blast,
But now the morning light has come and kicked my ass!

(WOAH OHHH OHHH)

I've got the worst hangover ever!
I'm crawling to the bathroom again
It hurts so bad that I'm never gonna drink again

And by my seventh shot I was invincible
I would've never thought I'd be this miserable

(WOAH OHHH OHHH)

I've got the worst hangover ever!
I'm rollin' back and forth on the bed
I'm worked so bad that I'm never gonna drink again

Won't someone just kill me
Put me out of my misery!
I'm makin' deals with God
I'll do anything!

make it stop please
make it stop please!
make it stop please
make it stop please!

(WOAH OHHH OHHH)

I've got the worst hangover ever!
I'm crawlin' to the bathroom again,

It hurts so bad that I'm never gonna drink again.
I'll probably never drink again.
I may not ever drink again.
At least not 'til next weekend

I'm never gonna drink again!

Time to relax

Ah, it's time to relax and you know what that means a glass of wine,
your favourite easy chair and of course this compact disc
playing on your home stereo. So go on indulge yourself, that's right,
kick off your shoes, put your feet up, lean back and and just enjoy
the melodies. After all, music soothes even the savage beast....

Total Immortal

Hope unkown. Sometimes just waking is surreal.
I walk right through the nameless ones.
I know that hope's unknown.
Sometimes the water feels so real.
As I walk through it fills my lungs, my god, I'm drowning.
This day never seems
This pain, never.
This day never seems to end
This rage I can not let go.

I hear them calling.
I feel them gnawing out holes through flawless souls.

So alone. Sometimes I swear that I can hear the taunting of the voiceless ones.
I fear that I alone fear those ceased to feel they're alone inside of this place.
I am the misplaced.
This day never seems
This pain, never.
This day never seems to end
This rage I can not let go.

Now everything, looks familiar...
then every face would melt away until..
now everyone, do you know, I know your deception.

Vultures

Now I could lie by your side
All serrated for you
Down below cancer grows
Weeping waits inside you too
Now,all our rage begs a stage
It‘s a waste of time though
And your style seems worthwhile
But this lonely road has turned
And you faded there
They pretend to care
Vultures waiting
If you don‘t like me
Certify Me
Yeah – I don‘t know,yeah
Yeah – I won‘t go,yeah
Yeah – save it I‘m okay,okay

And in the sun a loaded gun
Makes for conversation
All the while in denial
It‘s too late for me to change

And you were unchained
Nothing more had changed
I could fake it
If you still hate me
Confiscate me

Yeah – I don‘t know,yeah
Yeah – I won‘t go,yeah
Yeah – Save it I‘m okay,okay
Yeah - I won‘t play,yeah
Yeah - go away,yeah
Yeah - save it I‘m okay,okay

Walla Walla

Goodbye my friend, you've messed up again
You're going to prison, you're off to the pen
You've gotten off easy so many times
I guess no one told you how to get a life

The judge wasn't lenient like he was before
You got three to five and a kick out the door
The public defender really did try
Too little, too late, you didn't get a life

Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in a Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in a Walla Walla
Folsom prison is the destination
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in a Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others, Oh
Well, I'll see ya

That car looked so tempting, so easy to drive
Just like that apartment that you burglarized
You started to run, but didn't get far
Cause under your arm was a VCR

Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in a Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in a Walla Walla
Folsom prison is the destination
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in a Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others, Oh
Well, I'll see ya

I'm innocent
I didn't do it
I didn't do nothin' man
This is bullshit
He just gave it to me, it was a present

Ho ho, not this time my friend
You'll be in lockdown by ten
I'm afraid you can't talk your way out of this one, son
Now four walls are your 24-hour-a-day, constant companions.

Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in a Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in a Walla Walla
Folsom prison is the destination
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in a Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others
Well, I'll see ya

Have a nice life

Want You Bad

If you could only read my mind
You would know that things between us
Ain't right
I know your arms are open wide
But you're a little on the straight side
I can't lie

Your one vice
It's you're too nice
Come around now can you see

I want you
All tattooed
I want you bad

Complete me
Mistreat me
want you to be bad bad bad bad bad

If you could only read my mind
You would know that I've been waiting
So long
For someone almost just like you
But with attitude, I'm waiting
so come on

Get out of clothestime
Grow out those highlights
Come around now can't you see

I want you
In a vinyl suit
I want you bad

Complicated
X-rated
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Bad

Don't get me wrong
I know you're only being good
But that's what's wrong
I guess I just misunderstood

I want you
All tattooed
I want you bad

Complicated
X-rated
I want you bad

I mean it
I need it
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Bad, really really bad

Way Down The Line

Nothing changes cause it's all the same
The world you get's the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line

There is a chain that's never broken
You know the story it's sad but true
An angry man gets drunk and beats his kids
The same old way his drunken father did
What comes around well it goes around

Nothing changes cause it's all the same
The world you get's the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line

At 17 Shannon is pregnant
As young as her mom when she had her
Her kid is never gonna have a dad
The same old way that Shannon never had
What comes around well it goes around

Nothing changes cause it's all the same
The world you get's the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line

And all the things you learn when you're a kid
You'll fuck up just like your parents did
It all just happens again
Way down the line

And welfare moms have kids on welfare
And fat parents they have fat kids too
You know it's never gonna end
The same old cycle's gonna start again
What comes around well it goes around

Nothing changes cause it's all the same
The world you get's the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line

And all the things you learn when you're a kid
You'll fuck up just like your parents did
It all just happens again
Way down the line

We Are One

We are one with ourselves
We don't give a shit about no one else
Well it won't be long until our day in the sun is gonna stop
The walls come tumbling down

CHORUS

We are one
We are free
We are headed for obscurity
We are one
We are weak
We are gonna make ourselves extinct


we are one
You know it's true
Don't fuck with us or we'll fuck with you
It's a mentality that kills the best
We better stop
The walls come tumbling down


CHORUS

We are one and it won't be news
When we hang ourselves with one collective noose
Well, it won't be wrong until our day in the sun is gonna stop
The walls come tumbling down


CHORUS

Bigger they come, harder they fall. (x6)

What happened to you?

Before you started tokin'
You used to have a brain
But now you don't get even the simplest of things
I can draw a little picture
Or even use my hands
I try to explain but you just don't understand

(Hey)
You're really losing it
(Hey)
And you've really done a lot of junk now
(Hey)
But you keep on abusin' it
What in the world happened to you

It's bad enough you do it, you do it to yourself
But taking someone with you
Well you know that's something else
I say I'm not that kind of person
I'm not that kind of man
I try to explain but you just don't understand

(Hey)
You're really losing it
(Hey)
And you've really done a lot of junk now
(Hey)
But you keep on abusin' it
What in the world happened to you

(Hey)
You're really losing it
(Hey)
And you've really done a lot of junk now
(Hey)
But you keep on abusin' it
What in the world happened to you

I might be sympathetic or cut a little slack
If I thought that you were willing to give a little back
But you do it in the morning
You do it in the night
You lie to refrain from just facing your life
So I'll see you man tomorrow
You'll be gackin' up again
I'll see you in a coffin by the time your wad is spent
I think of all the times that I tried to lend a hand
I try to explain but you just don't understand

(Hey)
You're really losing it
(Hey)
And you've really done a lot of junk now
(Hey)
But you keep on abusin' it
What in the world happened to,
What in the world happened to,
What in the world happened to you

Why Don't You Get a Job

My friend's got a girlfriend
Man he hates that bitch
He tells me every day
He says "man I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst kind of way"

She sits on her ass
He works his hands to the bone
To give her money every payday
But she wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well my friend
You gotta say:

I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
(now now) Why don't you get a job
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
(now now) Why don't you get a job

I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
To keep her bill collectors at bay
I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
Cause that girl's got expensive taste

I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
(now now) Why don't you get a job
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
(now now) Why don't you get a job

Well I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all oh yeah
But hey man free rides just don't come along
every day

(Let me tell you about my other friend now!)

My friend's got a boyfriend man and she hates that dick (and the guy!)
She tells me every day (woo! everyday now)
He wants more dinero just to stay at home (stay at home!)
Well my friend
You gotta say: (gotta say!)

I won't pay, I won't pay ya (woo), no way (no way!)
(now now) Why don't you get a job (woo - get a job!)
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
(now now) Why don't you get a job
(oh yeah!)
I won't give ya no money
I always pay
(now now) Why don't you get a job (get a job!)
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
(now now) Why don't you get a
job!

Hey that's something everyone can enjoy!

No Hero

Once you said you'd stick to it until the end
I guess you lied, they call it suicide
Now you're gone
What was so wrong that you couldn't find a way to carry on?
Second guess
Did I do my best?
There was a friend I had

CHORUS

Johnny was a weirdo
So what did you expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive myself


I should have known you went through it alone
I wonder why did you even try?
You could have come to me
I would have helped you see
You could have found a way to carry on
Second guess
Did i do my best?
There was a friend I had...


CHORUS

Johnny's strange behavior was a tip-off, they say
But I ain't no fucking savior
I'm just living day by day


Little things, little lives hanging 'til the end
I say it doesn't really mean nothing
Telling truth, telling lies
I used to have a friend
I say it don't really mean nothing
And I can't let this feeling go
Let this feeling go
Let this feeling go

Once you said you'd stick to it until the end
I guess you lied, they call it suicide
Now you're gone
What was so wrong that you couldn't find a way to carry on?
Second guess
Did I do my best?
There was a friend I had

CHORUS

Johnny's strange behavior was a tip-off, they say
But I ain't no fucking savior
I'm just living day by day

A Lot Like Me

How does it feel?
When you have it all?
How can you live?
With nothing at all?

Where do you run?
Where do you go?
When the holes in your truth
Are starting to show?

And the rain comes
And the world is on my head
Crave the sun
But I can't get out of bed

How can you take?
Without giving back?
How does it work?
When it's really cracked?

How does it feel

...
And no wonder
Hearts and minds have been won
How does it feel:
And I wonder
How it's all come undone And the rain comes
And the world is on my head
Crave the sun
But I can't get out of bed

Want it You got it You're sorry You bought it You're sliding
Want it You got it You're sorry You bought it Can't hide it
Tell me who do you see
Cause you look a lot like me

How can you take?
Without giving back?
Who do you see?
Cause you look a lot like me

Rise and Fall

This time you're really dead
Once followed, but always led
You thought you'd rise above it all

It's all inside your head
All ripping it up in shreds
I know someday you're gonna fall

And I don't wanna say I told you so
But I told you so
Now you've lost control

And I don't wanna be the rise and fall
So gimme more or nothing at all

You're in an awful way
Sucked in by what you crave
They just can't wait to see you crawl

And you can only laugh
Give in to the other half
They're only tearing down your walls

They've come to see you rise and fall
They're only tearing down your walls
They've come to see you rise and fall
And I don't wanna say you've lost control

Rise and fall is
Good and evil,
Appearance and reality,
Judgment and reflection.
It is to judge and to be judged,
To dream and to accept.
It is Triumph and despair,
Wish and realization,

And we are both.

Fix You

She wakes up
Rage and grace
Pulling me closer, pushing away
And me
The sharpest thorn on your vine
Twisting and turning
We're all intertwined

Broken wing
Empty glass
Words that scream and bounce right back
She says, you know
We'd all like to rearrange

I wish I could fix you
And make you how I want you
I wish I could fix you
And I wish you could fix me

I wish I could heal you
And mend where you are broken
I wish I could heal you
And I wish you could heal me

Ha la la la

...A beaming sunrise buries the night
The setting sun destroys the light
Then she says, baby, I've gotta get going
Cutting each other
Without even knowing

She sees a million stars like holes in the sky
All God's tears for her they cry
And I am in her rain

Half-Truism

One is for envy
And one just for spite
The cuts in my heart
They show in your eyes
Don't make it better
The twisting knife
Turns all by itself
Move on to someone else

Your self-liberation
Will leave this behind
Beyond slings and arrows
That rain on our minds
You'll make it better
Shake it off
It never mattered anyway

If we don't make it alive
Well it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

The banner you're waving
Is burning and red
It's blocking the sunlight
That shines overhead
You against the world
Diamonds and pearls
Voices inside you churn
Watch the city burn

Your own liberation
Will leave them behind
All the slings and arrows
That rain on your mind
Don't make it better
Break it cause
It never mattered anyway

Hammerhead

I am the one
Camouflage and guns
Risk my life
To keep my people from harm

Authority
Vested in me
I sacrifice
With my brothers in arms

Through this doorway
What's on the other side
Never knowing
Exactly what I'll find
Locked and loaded
Voices screaming
Let's go!
Come on do it!
Here we go

Take a life
That others may live
Oh that's just the way it goes
Shut my eyes
It hammers in my head
Where it'll end nobody knows

Take a life
That ten others may live
Oh that's just the way it goes
It's playing over and over in my head
Where it'll end
Nobody knows

Stay the course
Reasonable force
I believe I serve a greater good

Smoke and dust
Enemies are crushed
Nothing left
Where a man once stood

Through this doorway
What's on the other side
Never knowing
Exactly what I'll find
Locked and loaded
Voices screaming
Let's go!
But I'm just doing what I'm told

Take a life
That others may live
Oh that's just the way it goes
Shut my eyes
It hammers in my head
Where it'll end
Nobody knows

Take this life
That ten others may live
Oh that's just the way it goes
It's playing over and over in my head
Where it begins
And where it'll end
Nobody knows

Bang bang it hammers in my head
Bang bang it hammers in my head
Bang bang it hammers in my head
In my head
In my head

Yea though I walk through the valley of the
Shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
For Thou art with me
Locked and loaded
Gonna find my truth
Now I'm busting through
All hell breaks loose

And you can all hide behind your desks now
And you can cry, 'teacher come help me!'
Through you all
My aim is true

Kristy, Are You Doing Okay?

There's a moment in time
And it's stuck in my mind
Way back, when we were just kids

Cause your eyes told the tale
Of an act of betrayal
I knew that somebody did

Oh, waves of time
Seem to wash away
The scenes of our crimes
But for you this never ends

Can you stay strong?
Can you go on?
Kristy are you doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom
Winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying
To get back what was taken away

Though the marks on your dress
Had been neatly repressed
I knew that something was wrong
And I should have spoke out
And I'm so sorry now
I didn't know
Cause we were so young

Oh, clouds of time
Seem to rain on
Innocence left behind
And it never goes away

Let's Hear It for Rock Bottom

In my perfect isolation
I can stay here for awhile
Antidotes and revelations
Just extend my own exile

Wasting away
The world's right in front of me
Funny you should say
That it's all in my head
Wasting away
We're hitting rock bottom
And going down in flames
Well it's not that bad

With my lack of observation
I can stay in here for days
Could you find my motivation
I can't see it through this haze

Wasting away
The world's right in front of me
Funny you should say
That it's all in my head
Wasting away
We're hitting rock bottom
And going down in flames
Well it's not that bad

Wishing away
The world's right in front of me
Call me anyway
Cause it's all in my head
Wasting away
We're hitting rock bottom
And going down in flames
Well it's not that bad

Wasting all my days
What would Ivan say
Wasting all my days
What would Ivan say

Wasting away
We're hitting rock bottom
Call me anyway
Cause I got two friends
Wasting away
We're going down together
And all in all it's not so bad
All in all it's not so bad

It's hard to know
Where to start and where to go
I will never say these words again

Nothingtown

Let's make this complicated
Thinking is overrated
We're busting out
Of this shitty little town

Green grass and colored lenses
Tear down these picket fences
Burn in our beds
While the city lies sleeping

Why oh why?
Are we starting up and going down?
My oh my
Just the two of us in Nothingtown
Our superhero play
We'll leave this town today
Hold on tighter
With my lighter
Shining through

These city streets are burning
Rose red your wheels are turning
Make me believe
Someday we could really leave

Blindfold a new direction
Stop asking better questions
Don't figure out
That we're never getting out

Why oh why?
Are we starting up and going down?
My oh my
Just the two of us in Nothingtown
Our superhero play
We'll leave this town today
And I'll row it if you steer it
I'll yell until you hear it
Hold on tighter
With my lighter
Shining through

Why oh why?
Are we starting up and going down?
My oh my
Just the two of us in Nothingtown
Our superhero play
Our dreams get in the way
And I'll row it if you steer it
I'll yell until you hear it
Hold on tighter
With my lighter
Shining through

Still stuck in Nothingtown
Still stuck in Nothingtown
Come on let's go

Stuff Is Messed Up

Now I don't know, and it's hard to explain
But it seems like things are just kind of insane
Because the world is crying
But nobody's listening
So please leave a message on my cell phone

I see bullets getting better
Biblical weather
And that guy on TV is like a total asshole

Who are you wearing tonight?
Celebrity fundraiser, tight!
Black ties making wrongs right
How's your social Band-Aid?

I don't know much
I don't know too much
But I know this
Shit is fucked up!

I guess it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means
You know it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means

Now thank god for the media, for saving the day
Putting it all into perspective in a responsible way
With more celebrity news
Typical bullshit views
I think we're losing this fight
Sponsored by Bud Light

And now we're rockin' the casbah
And taking the flak
The genie's out of the bottle, and we can't put it back
All this stuff
It's overwhelming my brain
Can you see the storm comin'?
It's coming this way

I don't know much
I don't know too much
But I know this
Shit is fucked up!

I guess it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means
You know it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means

Shopping Sprees, RPG's
Ecstasy
Atrophy
Genocide
Pimp my ride
Politize
Euphemize
Injustice everywhere
Apathy
I don't care
Hurricanes
Climate change
Huh!

Therapy, I won't tell
Rehab and LOL
Worldwide calamity
TV Reality
Euthanize, supersize
Death squads and boob jobs

Takes Me Nowhere

When the day begins
All the guilt sinks in
And I look on the wreckage of the night
Though I try to break free
The cycle breaks me
Am I ever gonna see the light?

All the friends I've lost
And the pain I've caused
Have never been enough just to make me stop
The lines I draw to look at myself
Are turning into somebody else

I know how this will end
But I'm starting up again
Turned around, inside out
Cause this way

Takes me nowhere - I can't can't see a way out
Takes me nowhere - I can't can't see a way out
Takes me nowhere - I can't can't see a way out
It beats me up

When I go there - I know I could start again
When I go there - Oh no, here we go again
Takes me nowhere - Oh no, here we go again
It beats me up

Open on this scene
A familiar dream
Of you telling me what I already know
Though the truth seems near
You can't get there from here
But you sure know where you're gonna go

As the rumor wind blows
My infamy grows
Seeing friends above
And I hit another low
The picture I paint to look at myself
Is turning into somebody else

I know how this will end
But I'm starting up again
Turned around, inside out
Cause this way

But today, if I change
And stop digging my own grave
I will try, to set things right
Cause this way

Trust in You

I am the one, your help I've refused
Your offering hand just set off the fuse
I am the rock that pushes away
I gave up tomorrow to spite today

Too proud to beg
Too stubborn to try
I'd look in your face
And spit in your eye

But I'm willing to find what's really inside
And show I am strong enough to

Trust in you.
Trust in you.
Trust in you.
Pull me up
Quo modo - shadow to light
Quo modo - shadow to light
Quo modo - pull me up
Pull me up
Cause I am ready

... (waiting...) I am the one who blames only you
The flame in my eyes now blackens my view
I am the one who wanders alone
Darkness inside blocks how you've shone

Who tied the other
End of my rope?
I want to move on
I want to have hope

So I'm willing to change
I'm going to try
To show I am strong enough to

You're Gonna Go Far, Kid

Show me how to lie
You're getting better all the time
And turning all against the one
Is an art that's hard to teach
Another clever word
Sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you get back into line
A mob jumps to their feet

Now dance, fucker, dance
Man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

And now you steal away
Take him out today
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives

Slowly out of line
And drifting closer in your sights
So play it out I'm wide awake
It's a scene about me
There's something in your way
And now someone is gonna pay
And if you can't get what you want
Well it's all because of me

Now dance, fucker, dance
Man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

And now you'll lead the way
Show the light of day
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid
Trust, deceived!

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives

Now dance, fucker, dance
He never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

So dance, fucker, dance
I never had a chance
It was really only you

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives

Clever alibis
Lord of the flies
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives

Hammerhead

I have The Word; you people got me good
Increase my life; keep my people prayerful
Echoing, beckoning me
What makes me fight with my brother we love?

Moving slowly, slowly down the side
Heaven knew ye; take awhile bide
Lost and lonely; voice's screaming 'Don't tell'
I've gone nowhere you can go

I'm taking your light with me; will you speak to me there?
(Our Lord, is this the way to go?)
I'll shut my eyes if you take my hand
(We're here living while we hope)
I'll take this light until it's faded
(Our Lord, is this the way to go?)
Praying over and over in my head
(We're here living while we hope)

Heed the course; Picking up much force
Live happily; I say 'Agreed' and you do it
No broken guess; Enemies that pledge; No time for less
Where a man would do it

Water's flowing, flowing down the side
Heaven knew ye; catch me Lord Our Father
Lost and lonely; voices screaming 'Now he's gone'
I've gone somewhere but I'm whole

I'll take your light when it's raining
(Our Lord, is this the way to go?)
I'll shut my eyes if you take my hand
(We're here living while we hope)
I'll step aside until it's raining
(Our Lord, is this the way to go?)
Praying over and over in my head
(We are forgiven; we're giving everybody hope)

Nailed by a hammerhead

Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death;
I feel no evil for thou art with me
Like kablooey, I'm going to find my groove

Lord, help me again now; go and get your golden Rod
You can deliver me; it's true
I will get through
