You've gone too far this time
But I'm dancing on the valentine I tell you somebody's fooling around With my chances on the dangerline But I'll cross that bridge when I find it Another day to make my stand High time is no time for deciding If I should find a helping hand So why don't you use it, try not to bruise it Buy time don't lose it The reflex is an only child, and he's waiting in the park The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark And watching over lucky clover, well isn't that bizarre Well, every little thing the reflex does Leaves you answered with a question mark I'm on a ride, and I want to get off But they won't slow down the roundabout I sold the Renoir and the TV set Don't want to be around when this gets out But I'll cross that bridge when I find it Another day to make my stand High time is no time for deciding If I should find a helping hand So why don't you use it, try not to bruise it Buy time don't lose it The reflex is an only child, and he's waiting in the park The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark And watching over lucky clover, well isn't that bizarre Well, every little thing the reflex does Leaves you answered with a question mark So why don't you use it, try not to bruise it Buy time don't lose it The fucking reflex what a game he's hiding all the cards The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark And watching over lucky clover, well isn't that bizarre Well, every little thing the reflex does Leaves you answered with a question mark The reflex what a game he's hiding all the cards The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark Just watching over lucky clover, isn't that bizarre 'Cause every little thing the reflex does Leaves you answered with a question mark |

I have this feeling inside that i wouldn't like me if i met me. it seems like a losing fight, if you can see thru my eyes then you'd believe me. the truth is that i'm overrated, I can't think straight I'm formulaic, the truth is that it's sad to say it, but you can't help me. you don't see me that way, you hear the words that i say, you just tell me that my heart's in the right place, it's the world that's confused and it's never too late to save a hopeless case i've always known a ghost like me, can disappear in a moment, i'm my own worst casualty, everything i touch can get broken, the truth is that i'm self-destructive, i'm insecure, i'm out of focus, the truth is that i've had enough but you still help me. you don't see me that way, you hear the words that i say, you just tell me that my heart's in the right place, it's the world that's confused and it's never too late to save a hopeless case. you're giving me perspective, it's better than mine, and i'll still be defective and you're wasting your time.

It's never been so crystal clear that i've been dying six months a year arguing with strangers about why i'm still here. no on lets me forget questions about my relevance and i'm starting to believe their arguments in my self-defense it's just my self-destructiveness and always wasting all my breath and it's still a mystery to me why i'm doubting all my dreams all the things that i say will someday fade away when the message in the songs has kept me sane all along. the years hit like like fist to face and some days i've tried to replace this person with the same god-given name. some days i shake till noon i've tried to explain to overcrowded rooms across these states my narrow point of view. but what can i do it's just my self-destructiveness and always wasting all my breath and it's a mystery to me why i'm doubting all my dreams all the things that i say will someday fade away when the message in these songs has kept me sane all along.

I'm on a mission
To see what's been missing My favorite song is on repeat But it's just not helping me My eyes have been wider but never been brighter Something else is going on I need a reminder of why I feel this way There's a fine line between Living a lie and feeling alive There are times that I've been Looking from the outside in And here I go again Falling behind losing my mind I'm pretending it's alright Listening to the soundtrack of my life Wo-oh Listening to the soundtrack of my life I still believe in Facing all my demons And everything that people promise Everything I've always wanted My mouth has been open My words have been stolen It may have been used against me It's starting to affect me And now I feel this way There's a fine line between Living a lie and feeling alive There are times that I've been Looking from the outside in And here I go again Falling behind losing my mind I'm pretending it's alright Listening to the soundtrack of my life Wo-oh Listening to the soundtrack of my life And it goes like this... And it takes me back... And it spins around And round and round And round and round And it goes around And always leads to black There's a fine line between Living a lie and feeling alive There are times that I've been Looking from the outside in And here I go again Falling behind losing my mind I'm pretending it's alright Listening to the soundtrack of my life Wo-oh Listening to the soundtrack of my life <i>[x3]</i> |

"A Still Life Franchise"
I remember that I kind of laughed at the sparks that spread the flames Over all the ugly memories these past three years have made Then I waited for the smoke to fill my lungs and suffocate my pain away So I say goodbye and I just say so long Almost feeling paralyzed My still life with vital signs And I'll just say so long My good intentions felt so wrong Left me feeling so far gone Well I'm gone, woah, woah. I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone I remember when I found the place for the ends to list that normal scene Living in this haunted house on this otherwise normal street Postcards and photographs of who we were start to burn and fade away So I say goodbye and I just say so long Almost feeling paralyzed My still life with vital signs And I'll just say so long My good intentions felt so wrong Left me feeling so far gone My good intentions felt so wrong Left me feeling so far gone Well I'm gone, woah, woah. I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone So I say goodbye and I just say so long Almost feeling paralyzed My still life with vital signs And I'll just say so long My good intentions felt so wrong Left me feeling so far gone And I'll just say so long My good intentions felt so wrong Left me feeling so far gone And I'll just say so long |

"Overrated (Everything Is)"
Maybe I'm jaded and bored Always looking for more Wait around for the next big fix I know I'm a wreck, I'm a mess But I couldn't care less Don't know what it would take to change me Everybody's so afraid to be different Please excuse me now if I don't get it I think sex is overrated So is always getting wasted Designer drugs and dead end jobs And classic rock is so outdated I'm so sick of therapy And all the things it's done to me How can I be satisfied? When everything is overrated Maybe the problem is me But I won't make believe And I can't take this mediocrity What if this is a test? And I deserve what I get? Will I wake up with all the answers? Everybody's too afraid to be different Please excuse me now if I don't listen I think sex is overrated So is always getting wasted Designer drugs and dead end jobs And classic rock is so outdated I'm so sick of therapy And all the things it's done to me How can I be satisfied? When everything is overrated (Woah, woah). When everything is overrated. Can't stand the normal Can't stand the ordinary Find me anything that's extraordinary Show me something Show me anything Am I the only one? Am I the only one? I think sex is overrated So is always getting wasted All my friends and family They make my life so complicated I'm so sick of apathy and TV show reality How can I be satisfied? When everything is overrated. Woah, woah. When everything is overrated. |

Frustration that I've been facing
I don't remember how but I've lost motivation I can't stop this sinking feeling from creeping over me I can't stop myself seeing the darkness in front of me It's not that hard to just fall apart, fall apart. It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart. It's not that hard to just fall apart, from the start. It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart. Repeating, I keep retreating, I don't remember how, but I lost all my meaning. Can't stop mistakes I'm making from hanging over me, Can't stop myself from facing the darkness in front of me. It's not that hard to just fall apart, fall apart. It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart. It's not that hard to just fall apart, from the start. It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart. I remember when I'm reaching my breaking point, Pressure pushing on me till I lost my voice, I don't think I ever had a choice, With this every day decay and destroy. It's not that hard to just fall apart, fall apart. It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart. It's not that hard to just fall apart, from the start. It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart. |

Rescue me from boring times it's a story
i know line by line different deep on the inside, isn't different if you have to try i'm borderline day after day waiting to get knocked off my feet again time passes by like a slow parade waiting to get knocked off my feet again knocked to my knees again. the measurements of my success, are always measured in not making sense my motivation's taking bets it's apologies or arguments with a head filled full of cans and can'ts. i try and try and try to remember why i think it's now or it's never. i'm borderline day after day waiting to get knocked off my feet again time passes by like a slow parade waiting to get knocked off my feet again knocked on my knees again. |

I could hear all the plans we had when the wind hits me just right
and i'm so sick of wanting all the things i'm haunted by my sympathy goes to the oldest joke that's survived another year i wonder where i'm going from where i'm at i wonder why i'm still here. the writing on the subway walls reminds me why your words don't console me anymore while i'm lying wide awake on my bedroom floor. i'm the lucky one, i'm getting out of here this is my last chance to disappear. i'm the lucky one, i'm getting out of here, i think i may freeze on the last days of summertime. the local papers always opened up to obituaries and engagements cause i keep track of all the fresh starts and he dying famous and there's a hate of second-hand smoke underneath the summer stars along with conversations we had on this subway car. the writing on the subway walls reminds me why your words don't console me anymore while i'm lying wide awake on my bedroom floor. i'm the lucky one, i'm getting out of here this is my last chance to disappear, i'm the lucky one, i'm getting out of here, i think i may freeze on the last days of summertime. remember when, when you said, you said take these words and do what you want with them. the writing on the subway walls reminds me why your words don't console me anymore, while i'm lying wide awake on my bedroom floor. i'm the lucky one, i'm getting out of here this is my last chance to disappear. i'm the lucky one, i;m getting out of here, i think i may freeze on the last days of summertime. |

Dear "you won't answer me" Did you honestly Think I'd ever leave? If you'd somehow just believe me You've gotta know right now that these words still sting I've lost everything I've ever touched <i>[Pre-chorus:]</i> The results were eating me up For once I've had enough <i>[Chorus:]</i> Landmines-landslides no matter how I try Landmines-landslides every single time <i>[Verse 2]</i> I fell asleep while watching TV While the living dead They walk my streets this evening This sitting target's been Stuck on the couch again Pretending I'm stable when the panic sets in <i>[Pre-chorus]</i> <i>[Chorus:]</i> Landmines-landslides no matter how I try. I'm destined for disaster a failure by design Landmines-landslides every single time. I'm destined for disaster I'm trapped on every side <i>[Bridge:]</i> You know how hard I try sometimes You can see it in my eyes It's always eating me alive The day to day of getting by Self-control from all the helplessness I've known I'm a wreck Lacking confidence there's no arguments you know <i>[Chorus:]</i> Landmines-landslides no matter how I try. I'm destined for disaster a failure by design Landmines-landslides every single time. I'm destined for disaster I'm trapped on every side. |

I fell asleep last Saturday
Underneath polluted skies I walked alone on those Jersey nights, and I Saw the boardwalk start to fall The emptiness starts to drown The quiet corners off this town, and I-- Late last night, I made my plans It was the only thing I felt I could do Said goodbye, to my best friend Sometimes there's no one left to tell you the truth It's gonna kill me... The rest of my life Let me apologize while I'm still alive I know it's time to face all of my past mistakes It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life This is my all time low Somehow it feels so familiar Somehow it seems so familiar I feel like letting go And every second that goes by I'm screaming out for a second try Said goodbye, to my best friend Sometimes there's no one left to tell me the truth It's gonna kill me... The rest of my life Let me apologize while I'm still alive I know it's time to face all of my past mistakes I've got to live with them rest of my life This is the mess I've made These are the words I can't erase This is my life support, shutting down, for the final time And it twists like a blade And kills me for the rest of my life If you won't forgive me The rest of my life Let me apologize while I'm still alive I know it's time to face all of my past mistakes It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life... |

I know there comes a time when you lose faith in what you believe inside
and did you know somehow it's just a spark that's a start that keeps us from the crowd. The other day this girl came up to me and asked if she used to go to school with me and kinda laughed and she said wasn't I the guy her friends always called a waste of time. I know just who I am and what's in my head is that I don't really give a damn who you think I am. When I stop and think about to where I'll be 10 years from now I wonder if the me of now would call myself washed up or watered down or part of the crowd? and the other night this guy came up to me downtown and can't believe that after 5 years I'm still around and he said, wasn't I the guy who walked these streets all night? It's such a waste of time |

And just outside I can heard the sounds
of the early morning street becoming way too loud and the hum of the engines of the cars on the street And with this cigarette that I just lit as I pass the 53rd St. Bridge Right now the world just seems too big so sit down and remind me how this is the same old story of growing up and getting lost. And outside I can see my breath in between the words that fog my spinning head and I can see the sun coming up. And it's just light enough to see Another cigarette that I just lit as I pass the 53rd St. bridge right now the world just seems to big And all the late night calls and all the lost hopes and the missed connections and the lost direction |

And all this really means you're one in a crowd and paranoid of every sound another friend you won't miss anyhow |

Got on the 47, transferred to the 89
left town eastbound past all the city signs and y'know sometimes it's hard to leave your past behind and as I pass the crummy bars and beat up cars nothing's gonna change my mind this time By now you think I've found that things changed, just don't look that way to me by now you think I've found that things change, and look rearranged to me it never used to look that me. At half past seven I'm on the 95 sick of malls and alcohol just passed the next state line and I know sometimes it's hard to leave your past behind and as I think of the corner creeps and dirty streets nothing will change my mind, there's no turning back this time.

And I swear it's the last time,
And I swear it's my last try. And we'll walk in circles around this whole block, Walk on the cracks on the same old sidewalks. And we'll talk about leaving town, Yeah we'll talk about leaving. I swear it's the last time, And I swear it's my last try... We rode across that bridge all night, we talked our way through city lights. Traced all the lines, We're killing time, Under those buzzing signs. From downtown to anywhere but here, Tonight, yeah, I swear, To these rooftops, And just hoped that car would never stop. And I swear, it's the last time, And I swear it's my last try. And we'll walk in circles around this whole block, Walk on the cracks on the same old sidewalks. And we'll talk about leaving town, And we'll talk about leaving. I swear it's the last time, And I swear it's my last try. We drove around this place all night, Past closed signs and familiar sights. We're moving by, passing time, Counting those center lines. With 20,000 lines left to go, What lead to somewhere, I don't know, It might be the time, that we, leave this all behind. And I swear, it's the last time, And I swear it's my last try. And we'll walk in circles around this whole block, Walk on the cracks on the same old sidewalks. And we'll talk about leaving town, And we'll talk about leaving. I swear it's the last time, And I swear it's my last try. And there's been a few times, That we thought it felt right, To take the westbound signs, And just leave town tonight. And I swear, itc12 |

Ive come to my senses that Ive become senseless I could give you lessons how to ruin your friendships Every last conviction I smoked them all away Ive drank my frustrations, down the drain, out of the way So I sit and wait and wonder, Does anyone else feel like me Someone so tired of their routines And disappearing self esteems Ill sing along with every emergency Just sing along Im the king of catastrophes Im so far gone that deep down inside I think Its fine by me, Im my own worst enemy I could be an expert on codependency I could write the best book on underage tragedy Ive been spending my time at the local liquor store Ive been sleeping nightly on my best friends kitchen floor So I sit and wait and wonder, Does anyone else feel like me Im so overdosed on apathy And burnt out on sympathy Ill sing along with every emergency Just sing along Im the king of catastrophes Im so far gone that deep down inside I think Its fine by me, Im my own worst enemy Let the meanings slip away Lost my faith in another day Self-deprecation seems okay I never though Id make it anyway |

So you say, all you white flags are up And that youve had enough And youre tired of collecting dust You say everything always looks the same And you need a brand new face To match a brand new place You say your distress calls have gone out And your ship is going down Well, I say it to myself all the time Stop living half a life and stop Feeling like Im half alive I cant get enough; Im not satisfied Ive wasted my time with this daily grind In single file lines, is this real life? I keep telling myself sometimes what matters is on the inside Do you remember when we had all the answers And can you really remember When we wished anything better Does it feel like its been forever, Does it feel like a broken record, Head full of yesterdays You keep wishing your life away You cant keep looking over your own shoulder Things will never look up unless you start to look forward I cant get enough; Im not satisfied Ive wasted my time with this daily grind In single file lines, is this real life? I keep telling myself sometimes what matters is on the inside I cant get enough; Im not satisfied Ive wasted my time with this daily grind I cant get enough; Im just getting by I cant stand this design for our bitter lives I keep feeling lost, Im not satisfied With traffic lights and turnpikes And these tired eyes I cant get enough; Im not satisfied Ive wasted my time with this daily grind In single file lines, is this real life? I keep telling myself sometimes what matters is on the inside |

And the life of the party just left I guess I couldnt cure his emptiness Like all the rest So drop your plastic cups and clear your clouded heads Here we are, another wasted night And I am right along the side Of forty sets of bloodshot eyes And plastic smiles miles wide Match plastic cups well leave behind Its just another night of plastic cup politics So drop your empty cups and clear your clouded heads |

Tomorrow's gone up in smoke And I wonder when I'm alone Where'd my convictions go So to everyone that's gone away Or fades away or stays the same Here are my apologies to the person that I used to be Before I burned down every bridge and every inch Of everything I used to know, I gotta let it go Friends leave as time fades away The people and the places along the way So don't hold on to your past No, it's never coming back, you gotta let it go! |

Mother told me, yes,she told me I'd meet girls like you. She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch." Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round. Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird. Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay. Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things." "Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines." Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war. But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years. Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird. Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay. Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year? Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear? When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch. Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out. Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird. Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay. Away. Away. |

"Goodbye In Gasoline"
My lungs are aching From the cold from being outside. And the windows in my car Have started to fog up. And it's colder than I remember it ever being in Florida. My stomach's burning And the stereo in this car is screaming so loud. It's 3 a.m. I'm just starting to wake up. And it's darker than I remember it ever being in Florida. The saddest song always plays On the radio on the coldest days, So I'm saying goodbye in gasoline. It's the only way I know My head in spinning And the engine is purring, yeah it's clicking in time. To the pounding in my head And this heart on my sleeve And it's quieter than I remember. And it can go on forever. Do you know how many times How many times I've counted the signs of State lines and roads I've known. I know, this time, feels like goodbye. My lungs are aching From the cold from standing outside. After all this time I'm still fucked up. And it's colder than I remember it ever being in Florida. |

I fell asleep last Saturday
Underneath polluted skies I walked alone on those Jersey nights, and I Saw the boardwalk start to fall The emptiness starts to drown The quiet corners of this town, and I... Late last night, I made my plans It was the only thing I felt I could do Said goodbye, to my best friend Sometimes there's no one left to tell you the truth It's gonna kill me... The rest of my life Let me apologize while I'm still alive I know it's hard to face all of my past mistakes It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life This is my all time low Somehow it feels so familiar Somehow it seems so familiar I feel like letting go And every second that goes by I'm screaming out for a second try Said goodbye, to my best friend Sometimes there's no one left to tell me the truth It's gonna kill me... The rest of my life Let me apologize while I'm still alive I know it's hard to face all of my past mistakes I've got to live with them rest of my life This is the mess I've made These are the words I can't erase This is my life support, shutting down, for the final time And it twists like a blade And kills me for the rest of my life If you won't forgive me The rest of my life Let me apologize while I'm still alive I know it's hard to face all of my past mistakes It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life... |

"A Still Life Franchise"
I remember that I kind of laughed at the sparks that spread the flames Over all the ugly memories these past three years have made Then I waited for the smoke to fill my lungs and suffocate my pain away So I say goodbye and I just say so long Almost feeling paralyzed My still life with vital signs And I'll just say so long My good intentions felt so wrong Left me feeling so far gone Well I'm gone, woah, woah. I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone I remember when I found the place for the ends to list that normal scene Living in this haunted house on this otherwise normal street Postcards and photographs of who we were start to burn and fade away So I say goodbye and I just say so long Almost feeling paralyzed My still life with vital signs And I'll just say so long My good intentions felt so wrong Left me feeling so far gone My good intentions felt so wrong Left me feeling so far gone Well I'm gone, woah, woah. I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone So I say goodbye and I just say so long Almost feeling paralyzed My still life with vital signs And I'll just say so long My good intentions felt so wrong Left me feeling so far gone And I'll just say so long My good intentions felt so wrong Left me feeling so far gone And I'll just say so long |

"Only Human"
There's not a doctor that can fix me, My disease is chronic and I've lost all self-control. Have you ever had your heart ripped out your throat? Anxious and all alone, now stop and remember we're only human I've tried it all to kill the pain, but nothing keeps me sane. I'll pretend that I'm stable, I'm left, lost and labeled I'll pretend that I'm doing fine. I'm so out of focus, I'm hopelessly hopeless, I'll pretend that I'm doing fine. Theres not a pill that can make me happy My complains nescient and I've lost touch with my soul Have you ever had your words choking your throat? Another thought up in smoke, now stop and remember we're only human. I've tried it all to kill the pain, but nothing keeps me sane. I'll pretend that I'm stable, I'm left, lost and labeled I'll pretend that I'm doing fine. I'm so out of focus, I'm hopelessly hopeless, I'll pretend that I'm doing fine. I've tried it all to kill the pain, but nothing keeps me sane. I'll pretend that I'm stable, I'm left, lost and labeled I'll pretend that I'm doing fine. I'm so out of focus, I'm hopelessly hopeless, I'll pretend that I'm doing fine. I've tried it all to kill the pain, but nothing keeps me sane. I'll pretend that I'm stable, I'm left, lost and labeled I'll pretend that I'm doing fine. I'm so out of focus, I'm hopelessly hopeless, I'll pretend that I'm doing fine. |

I'm on a mission
To see what's been missing My favorite song is on repeat But it's just not helping me My eyes have been wider but never been brighter Something else is going on I need a reminder of why I feel this way There's a fine line between Living a lie and feeling alive There are times that I've been Looking from the outside in And here I go again Falling behind losing my mind I'm pretending it's alright Listening to the soundtrack of my life Wo-oh Listening to the soundtrack of my life I still believe in Facing all my demons And everything that people promise Everything I've always wanted My mouth has been open My words have been stolen It may have been used against me It's starting to affect me And now I feel this way There's a fine line between Living a lie and feeling alive There are times that I've been Looking from the outside in And here I go again Falling behind losing my mind I'm pretending it's alright Listening to the soundtrack of my life Wo-oh Listening to the soundtrack of my life And it goes like this... And it takes me back... And it spins around And round and round And round and round And it goes around And always leads to black There's a fine line between Living a lie and feeling alive There are times that I've been Looking from the outside in And here I go again Falling behind losing my mind I'm pretending it's alright Listening to the soundtrack of my life Wo-oh Listening to the soundtrack of my life <i>[x3]</i> |

"Overrated (Everything Is)"
Maybe I'm jaded and bored Always looking for more Wait around for the next big fix I know I'm a wreck, I'm a mess But I couldn't care less Don't know what it would take to change me Everybody's so afraid to be different Please excuse me now if I don't get it I think sex is overrated So is always getting wasted Designer drugs and dead end jobs And classic rock is so outdated I'm so sick of therapy And all the things it's done to me How can I be satisfied? When everything is overrated Maybe the problem is me But I won't make believe And I can't take this mediocrity What if this is a test? And I deserve what I get? Will I wake up with all the answers? Everybody's too afraid to be different Please excuse me now if I don't listen I think sex is overrated So is always getting wasted Designer drugs and dead end jobs And classic rock is so outdated I'm so sick of therapy And all the things it's done to me How can I be satisfied? When everything is overrated (Woah, woah). When everything is overrated. Can't stand the normal Can't stand the ordinary Find me anything that's extraordinary Show me something Show me anything Am I the only one? Am I the only one? I think sex is overrated So is always getting wasted All my friends and family They make my life so complicated I'm so sick of apathy and TV show reality How can I be satisfied? When everything is overrated. Woah, woah. When everything is overrated. |

Frustration that I've been facing
I don't remember how but I've lost motivation I can't stop this sinking feeling from creeping over me I can't stop myself seeing the darkness in front of me It's not that hard to just fall apart, fall apart. It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart. It's not that hard to just fall apart, from the start. It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart. Repeating, I keep retreating, I don't remember how, but I lost all my meaning. Can't stop mistakes I'm making from hanging over me, Can't stop myself from facing the darkness in front of me. It's not that hard to just fall apart, fall apart. It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart. It's not that hard to just fall apart, from the start. It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart. I remember when I'm reaching my breaking point, Pressure pushing on me till I lost my voice, I don't think I ever had a choice, With this every day decay and destroy. It's not that hard to just fall apart, fall apart. It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart. It's not that hard to just fall apart, from the start. It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart. |

Rescue me from boring times it's a story
i know line by line different deep on the inside, isn't different if you have to try i'm borderline day after day waiting to get knocked off my feet again time passes by like a slow parade waiting to get knocked off my feet again knocked to my knees again. the measurements of my success, are always measured in not making sense my motivation's taking bets it's apologies or arguments with a head filled full of cans and can'ts. i try and try and try to remember why i think it's now or it's never. i'm borderline day after day waiting to get knocked off my feet again time passes by like a slow parade waiting to get knocked off my feet again knocked on my knees again. |

Dear "you won't answer me" Did you honestly Think I'd ever leave? If you'd somehow just believe me You've gotta know right now that these words still sting I've lost everything I've ever touched <i>[Pre-chorus:]</i> The results were eating me up For once I've had enough <i>[Chorus:]</i> Landmines-landslides no matter how I try Landmines-landslides every single time <i>[Verse 2]</i> I fell asleep while watching TV While the living dead They walk my streets this evening This sitting target's been Stuck on the couch again Pretending I'm stable when the panic sets in <i>[Pre-chorus]</i> <i>[Chorus:]</i> Landmines-landslides no matter how I try. I'm destined for disaster a failure by design Landmines-landslides every single time. I'm destined for disaster I'm trapped on every side <i>[Bridge:]</i> You know how hard I try sometimes You can see it in my eyes It's always eating me alive The day to day of getting by Self-control from all the helplessness I've known I'm a wreck Lacking confidence there's no arguments you know <i>[Chorus:]</i> Landmines-landslides no matter how I try.

I fell asleep last Saturday
Underneath polluted skies I walked alone on those Jersey nights, and I Saw the boardwalk start to fall The emptiness starts to drown The quiet corners off this town, and I-- Late last night, I made my plans It was the only thing I felt I could do Said goodbye, to my best friend Sometimes there's no one left to tell you the truth It's gonna kill me... The rest of my life Let me apologize while I'm still alive I know it's time to face all of my past mistakes It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life This is my all time low Somehow it feels so familiar Somehow it seems so familiar I feel like letting go And every second that goes by I'm screaming out for a second try Said goodbye, to my best friend Sometimes there's no one left to tell me the truth It's gonna kill me... The rest of my life Let me apologize while I'm still alive I know it's time to face all of my past mistakes I've got to live with them rest of my life This is the mess I've made These are the words I can't erase This is my life support, shutting down, for the final time And it twists like a blade And kills me for the rest of my life If you won't forgive me The rest of my life Let me apologize while I'm still alive I know it's time to face all of my past mistakes It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life... |

I have this feeling inside that i wouldn't like me if i met me. it seems like a losing fight, if you can see thru my eyes then you'd believe me. the truth is that i'm overrated, I can't think straight I'm formulaic, the truth is that it's sad to say it, but you can't help me. you don't see me that way, you hear the words that i say, you just tell me that my heart's in the right place, it's the world that's confused and it's never too late to save a hopeless case i've always known a ghost like me, can disappear in a moment, i'm my own worst casualty, everything i touch can get broken, the truth is that i'm self-destructive, i'm insecure, i'm out of focus, the truth is that i've had enough but you still help me. you don't see me that way, you hear the words that i say, you just tell me that my heart's in the right place, it's the world that's confused and it's never too late to save a hopeless case. you're giving me perspective, it's better than mine, and i'll still be defective and you're wasting your time.

It's never been so crystal clear that i've been dying six months a year arguing with strangers about why i'm still here. no on lets me forget questions about my relevance and i'm starting to believe their arguments in my self-defense it's just my self-destructiveness and always wasting all my breath and it's still a mystery to me why i'm doubting all my dreams all the things that i say will someday fade away when the message in the songs has kept me sane all along. the years hit like like fist to face and some days i've tried to replace this person with the same god-given name. some days i shake till noon i've tried to explain to overcrowded rooms across these states my narrow point of view. but what can i do it's just my self-destructiveness and always wasting all my breath and it's a mystery to me why i'm doubting all my dreams all the things that i say will someday fade away when the message in these songs has kept me sane all along.

Dopeman dopeman's got another big plan
to sell it to you or anyone he can because this is much better than minimum wage no matter how things work he's still gonna get paid think about it for a minute more - it's either work at McDonalds or the corner store a quick money fix from a deal or 2 when a decision comes down what would you do? you take - take a welfare state or a dopeman's fate and keep the cycle spinnin' round dopeman dopeman's got the upperhand people wanna get as much as they can because those reasons they'll always stay the same and for some people it's the only way to stay sane and think about it for a minute more - a life of crime or hangin' round the liquor store a quick drug fix to get you through when the decision comes down what would you do |

Jen thinks it isn't fair
That I don't really care If she likes me or not Jen doesn't like to settle Until she makes me feel like Howie Reynolds She thinks that I'm all that I've got So, Jen doesn't like me anymore And Jen doesn't like to go to my shows She hates to hear my whoa-whoas Jen doesn't like me anymore |

Man, it's really strange
This city never stays the same It's always "I've got to keep on moving And I've got to keep on going" But just maybe it's to keep itself sane That it's always "I've got to keep on moving So I don't have any feeling" So I'm on my way out of this place That has me turning numb I'm on my way All the feeling in this place Has all up and gone So with one hand on the wheel The other out the window With a smile on my face And my middle finger up With one hand on the wheel This city's going crazy Without a care that it's all fucked up |

Something's not right
Urban sprawl, from urban blight something's not right when history turn into a building site locked out, fenced up, closed down without a sound Something's not right when downtown is just all blinking lights Something's not right when strip malls and condos are at your every side |

There's been borders and there'll be boundaries
and there's been times misidirection's found me There's been clear heads and there'll be clean slates and times we'd find we'd pass the night away thinking Everyone here hates everyone here for doing the same thing that they do There's been new starts and they'll be no sleep and there's been times when inspiration's found me and there's been walls built and there's been worse days and times we'd find we spent the night awake thinking all those people they keep watching me all those people that hate me all those people they watch me all those people are just like me |

Ideals are like opinions and beliefs just like tradition
Sometimes both are not enough Faded stickers and crumpled flyers They've become the reminder that there's an anthem in us that fits the flag we've flown for years I've always had this same old song Stuck in my head for so damn long A soundtrack to whether I'm right or wrong Ideals are like opinions beliefs just like tradition Sometimes both are not enough faded pictures and yellowed flyers and memories so far behind us there's an anthem in us that fits the flag we've flown for years Ideals and its actions Beliefs and convictions Faith and tradition The flags we've flown for years |

So let's hit the streets tonight
And I'll show you where I lost my job and where I got chased by cops so we'll jump the fence at 13th and 10th to see where we played our first show I told you everybody loses sight of All the how it's been and never was So let's hit the streets tonight And I'll show you where I drank on the job and hung out In that parking lot left at the light there's park 16th on the right and that's the place that we called home That place you'll never get a chance to know and all the people through the years you could've known it makes me wonder what your seeing is almost "home" |

And I swear it's the last time,
And I swear it's my last try. And we'll walk in circles around this whole block, Walk on the cracks on the same old sidewalks. And we'll talk about leaving town, Yeah we'll talk about leaving. I swear it's the last time, And I swear it's my last try... We rode across that bridge all night, we talked our way through city lights. Traced all the lines, We're killing time, Under those buzzing signs. From downtown to anywhere but here, Tonight, yeah, I swear, To these rooftops, And just hoped that car would never stop. And I swear, it's the last time, And I swear it's my last try. And we'll walk in circles around this whole block, Walk on the cracks on the same old sidewalks. And we'll talk about leaving town, And we'll talk about leaving. I swear it's the last time, And I swear it's my last try. We drove around this place all night, Past closed signs and familiar sights. We're moving by, passing time, Counting those center lines. With 20,000 lines left to go, What lead to somewhere, I don't know, It might be the time, that we, leave this all behind. And I swear, it's the last time, And I swear it's my last try. And we'll walk in circles around this whole block, Walk on the cracks on the same old sidewalks. And we'll talk about leaving town, And we'll talk about leaving. I swear it's the last time, And I swear it's my last try. And there's been a few times, That we thought it felt right, To take the westbound signs, And just leave town tonight. And I swear, itc12 |

"Mr. Chevy Celebrity"
Well I thought all my friends were sane then I met this kid in the fourth grade "let's go throw rocks through the neighbor's windows" I never wanted to go but he would always make me I wanna know what you were thinking I wanna know what you were drinking Mark Cruce Have another drink Mark Cruce He's the guy passing out and crashing on your couch Mark Cruce Have another drink Mark Cruce He's the guy pissing in the front yard of your house Mark Cruce Through all the years not a whole lot's changed how 'bout that party where you stole the beer tap off some burnout's keg I really hope that you know I almost got my ass beat have another drink Mark Cruce he's the guy with the bat that took your mailbox out setting fire to bags of shit outside your neighbor's house |

"Gainesville Rock City"
This map hung up on the truck stop hallway door is looking worn and I can hardly read it anymore I feel like I'm a speck thrown on the map and I can't help my urge to laugh I never used to feel like that Well I'm half awake half a world away all my past mistakes and every wasted day I wouldn't have it any other way I'll try through my haze and half shut eyes to count up all the reasons why I should be back at home tonight Half awake half a world away all my past mistakes and every wasted day proves that I'll never change I'll always stay the same I wouldn't have it any other way |
