There's a laziness with which you speak
There's an apathy that seems so easy
Ambition is not part of your routine
(chorus)
We're not looking for excuses
(Not looking for anything at all)
We're not waiting for the end of times to be
'Cause we're feeling restless
Feeling desperate
Can you feel this yet?
You lie awake at night counting sheep
With bloodshot eyes
Are you feeling weak?
There's a world outside of this
There's a world and it's crumbling quickly
(chorus)

Pretentious
02:33
|
|||
I'm growing bored of your complaints
And all your narcissistic rage
About your plans and why they fail
And why these guys don't love you
And ain't it so damn tiresome
To keep on talking when you know
Not a soul is listening
To all your tired bullshit
He said, she said
You really think it matters?
Endless question
And you're still crying for attention
(chorus)
Take it from me
You're not so pretty like this
You're still prying
I'm just dying to know
Why I should care
I bit my tongue, bided my time
Just to listen to you whine
Your pretentiousness weighed on
My patience, now it's gone
But still you blather on and on
Sing your same pathetic song
But you don't want an answer
I think you just want to piss me off
He said, she said
You really think it matters?
Endless question
But you're just prying for attention
(chorus)
Take it from me
You're still trying
Take it from me
You're still prying
I'm growing bored of your complaints
And all your narcissistic rage
About your plans and why they fail
About your life and how you've failed
You won't find the answer here
You won't find it!

What They Want
03:04
|
|||
When the world is looking down on me
And everything they want me to be
I just want them to see
The graves they've dug to the beat of this
Here's a middle finger and a kiss
They'll rot into the ground
Along with their need to make me
(chorus)
What they want
They'll never make me
What they want
I'm never gonna fucking be
What they want
'Cause what they want is
Someone to stand above
What they want
They'll never make me
What they want
I'm never gonna fucking be
What they want
'Cause what they don't know is
I'm already at the top
Blank faces passed around like whores
And your talking's just a bore
And now your eyes are fixed on me
But you're just boring me to death
I can feel your thoughts burn through my flesh
Skin chars to the bone
You'll never have enough to take me on
(chorus)
I'll leave this place behind me
Run until I can't breath
Tunnel vision for escape
So all you kids take warning
And just keep on running
Or you'll end up just like them
(chorus)

Say what you have to say
But make it quick because
I don't have all day
You're too late to wait
It's four a.m. and
I'm still wide awake
No rest for the weary
Only rest for the dead
I can't take it
(chorus)
Faster and with less feeling
No, I don't wanna feel a thing
Shattered existence
Scattered love
Can't come home to
What you're not part of
Waste all your time
Crammed in a box
All the money you make
Couldn't pick the lock
(chorus)
I'm burning down
I'm breaking out
Taking what's left of my life back now
This is my skin
I'm living in
And what lies beneath, you can't contain
(chorus)

Trigger Finger

Lock on
You've got me down the
Barrel of a gun
Save tongue
Let's pull the trigger
I am the stabbing pain
The thorn that sticks out from your side
So I tried to get away so you could clear your mind
But you're too afraid of change
We're toxic and sick all the time
The drugs plow through corroded veins
Our innocence has died
Lock on
You've got me down the
Barrel of a gun
Save tongue
Let's pull the trigger
(chorus)
You puked out your conscience,
You shit out your heart
And that was the only thing that made this tick
That made this whole thing start
I puked out your window.
I ruined your car
If that was the only thing that made this end
That made this whole thing stall
I quit
Wake up in a haze again
The scars on your face match your eyes
So sunk, blackened and delicate
Just like my wheezing lungs
Spoon-feed the ignorant
Take yourself out of the slums we live
It's useless to try again
There's no more I can give
Lock on
You've got me down the
Barrel of a gun
Save tongue
Let's pull the trigger
(chorus)
There's a hole in me from a
Shot in the dark and it's hard to see
I was fast asleep, now I'm wide awake
I can barely breathe
To the next dumb show, to the same old notes
And a novice host
I know you feel the same way
(chorus)

Another Sleepless Night
03:15
|
|||
What's another sleepless night
On this infinite path
Where I watch my life flash
Past my half opened eyes
All the vivid colored memories
I thought I had let go
But I found they were still
Burning me inside
But now they're gone
Cause now you're gone
And I'm moving on
I've fallen out of love with you
And I don't care anymore
You can't fall out of love with me
Because you never cared
Not at all.
You got too close to the real me
And I shut down. Couldn't hide.
I'll never get too close to you
'Cause you're not around.
What's another silent drive
Down these same old back roads
We both know they all lead me back home all alone
Bellowing venom and rhetoric
Constant verbal strike
Sanity losing grip of me.
Now it's gone
Now I'm gone
You've moved on and on.
There's a demon deep inside of me
He speaks in rhyme just to pretend he's free
He paints with words so emphatically
It haunts my every waking memory.

"When we die, do we die alone?"
And the word caught in my throat
When I said no
'Cause I knew that I was lying
Just to ease the pain of passing
But she's the one who left me all alone
Yeah, she's the one who left me all alone
And she sang, "Whoa! I've gotta go!
I've been hanging 'round too long
And you gotta let me go"
Just let me go
And I know she saw disappointment in my eyes
But she closed her own and said her last goodbyes
I guess she got me all along
And I sang, "Whoa! I've gotta go!
I've been choking on these words
From long ago
Burning fire set me free
You know I'm burning out for this
And we sang, "Whoa! I gotta go!
I've been waiting for too long,
And I've gotta let you go
"Yeah, we waited for too long, and
We let each other go"
Yeah, I waited for too long and now you're gone

You Suck!
01:56
|
|||
This ringing in my ears brings me to my knees
And it kills me when I realize that we'll never see eye to eye
You can't give back the breath I wasted telling you
My deepest fears and bleeding dreams and tales of love that died
Long nights playing guitar and singing to these empty walls
And watching as the dust gathered in years upon the ground
But then it fell apart and every time we tried to start again
Our latent malevolence burned the whole thing down
(chorus)
Brotherhood
Tell me what you think it means
And I'll tell you why you're so damn wrong
Brotherhood...
I remember in the fall we sat in the back of your car
You asked "Is this the end" I crossed my fingers and said "no"
There was no easy way, this dead air would come just the same
Why return a favor we never got in the first place

Salinger Book
02:28
|
|||
I'm feeling like the hero in a Salinger book
Dodging your questions and all your dirty looks
And when you turn the next page
I'll wish things'd stayed the same
Between the lines about last year
And this year's opening phrase
Every feeling I've carved
In with a pen
Dragged across paper
And threw in the trash bin
What a waste of my time
Can I please waste yours?
I'm sitting on fronts steps
And knocking on back doors
(chorus)
It's a perfect day for bananafish
It's a perfect day to feel alive
It's a perfect day for bananafish
It's a perfect night
And at times,
I feel like I've changed
Learned all my lessons
And shouldered all the blame
But I know it's a feeling
A feeling short lived
I'll give up the ghost
Let bitterness sink in
And I'm sure by the end
By the end of the night
I'll have plans to call you
But those plans won't feel right
It's a thing
I know I'll regret
But you'll get married next year
So I might as well forget
(chorus)
Raise high the roofbeam, carpenters
We'll make the house come crashing down
Raise high the roofbeam, carpenters
I'm bringing it down

Everything is Alright
02:36
|
|||
It's okay to stay today but not tomorrow,
'Cause everything is fucked up
You got something going on I can't place my finger on you
Keep talking and I'll just keep on keeping on
Turn the lights down low and now you gotta go
It's elementary and dear it's becoming clear to me
You're a fistful of rage and I guess it's kinda cool to me
Turn the lights down low and now you gotta go
It's okay to stay today but not tomorrow,
'Cause everything is fucked up
You've got tons of secrets and god knows that I just forget
You have lots of soul and I know just as much regret
Turn the lights down low and now you gotta go
I know what you've been thinking, not sure what you've been drinking
But you're one of a kind. The kind that'll just be sinking
Turn the lights down low and now you've gotta go
It's okay to stay today but not tomorrow,
'Cause everything is fucked up
We're going down in flames and
I'm trying to hold on but
Everything's just burning to the ground

Max & Cam

Stare across the room
Taking in the view
That used to be you
I know what to do
But I can't make the move
I'm too used to you
(chorus)
And I can't let this be the end
I remember when
A friend could be a friend
And that's the way it fucking went
I saw this from afar not too long ago
Three's a crowd, you've made your choice
There's nothing to live for
(chorus)

Coping
00:47
|
|||
Tell me what you think when
Your whole world is falling down
It leaves you broken hearted
It leaves you worthless, reckless
This time around
Tell me how you're coping
Keeping copasetic
When at first you walked on water
But now you're just submerged
And if you fear your self-destruction
Can I tell you I fear mine?

Why I Give Hell
01:55
|
|||
There was a time
Some time I wasted lots of
By the fire with a stubborn lover
(chorus)
I'd like to tell you about this lovely story
But, you know the ending, it always
Brings me down and
That's why I give hell
There was a fight
That we both intensified but
You do fine with your other lover
(chorus)
All this wasted love, you said we're blood
I can't get by
I'm giving it up tonight
You're changing, I've been faking
No more better, that I can't deny
No, now I can't deny
(chorus)

Poem
03:58
|
|||
You know I'm never okay
We make excuses, not progress
As the horizon glows behind
Trees and skylines and ways home
Hinting dawn, it kills
The way the sunrise through the windshield
Looks to my eyes, like no one is watching
I hope you're watching
(chorus)
And I never wanted to be your second best
And I knew what was inside you better than the rest
So why would you just assume that I would be okay?
You know I'm never okay
And I tried writing letters finding
Each word more strained than the last
Until I'm stuck here staring blankly
Restlessly, I wait
For the perfect words to surface
I'd write them all across the sky
But the sun just won't rise
And I can' catch your eyes
(chorus)
Every time I said I loved you
Every time I thought you'd try
Every single fucking moment
Sitting in my room watching you cry
You said that I cared too much
And I said I didn't care
No I don't care
(chorus)
The sunset through my windshield isn't
Anything as beautiful as her eyes
