It's negativ
Iwish you the worst dear, to feel the gratest pain A posetiv You say it's all in vain I know I felt and I won't feel again Iknow you Refrain: Hours of madness, years of dysfunction, the deepest embitterment No will to strive or achieve, finally it break down Perpetual fall on your knees, as you crawl back to me It ends like thisI can hope for bliss, if you fail again 'Cause I'm right here, to witness every step And when you trip, I will cherish it Refrain I live to watch you fail, I live to watch you fail I live to watch you fail, I am the wind in your sail I wish you the worst dear, to feel the greatest pain 'Cause I'm right here, to retrieve all you stole Every tear, and everything you own I wish you Hours of madness, years of dysfunktion, the deepest embitterment No will to trust everyoneThis is how I lived, this is how you left me blue And I'd crawl back to you. |

Now it's simple to me
Sometimes you have to let go when there's Next to nothing You say everytime she says no There's more pain then love It comes o shove almost Everytime you speak Somehow you fight Something's just crazy Somehow it's taking all the life left in you You'er losing ground Carrying that torch Your not asking for much As she has... Had time to heal And she doesn't need you any longer an you... Had time to drink And you call her to tell her you've gotten much stronger At three in the morning she says stop calling cause... Everyone's asleep Some of us work You're driving me crazy When will you get on with my life Now every nights Friday night Picking fights with your friends Somehow trying to make amends So you seach for comfort in a friend It's not the same she won't understand You both learned to think alike So what was so wrong Where's she tonight Out there drinking while you're left in thinking It's taken all the life left in... You You're losing ground Carrying that torch You're not asking for much Still somehow You'll wait for her You say she'll return But you still carry that torch That girl |

We colonize a better place
(Unable to transform our fate) We follow whatever path grows (Directions no one knows) Given the choice for normalcy You seem content in who you've come to be They said he re-installed his plague (Said to have re-vamped that limp vein) As if it all ends formulaic (Painless escape) We share the same virus of love and hope And it's a fleeting beauty You did everything you could You were there for him through bad and good So disappear before you follow suit The parasites, they are still there to swallow you Beating through an obtrude chest Every emotive plea's a stretch No praise enough to build a life (No words to instill pride) And through your life disorder rides I did everything I could Mostly there for him through bad and good I disappeared as always waiting for the born-again call The one that signals to us all This bender's over again Listen for one last faint heartbeat (Holding his hand in hopes he breathes) All of those sad years have come to this (Your head lay on his sunken chest) The thought of you at his deathbed The latest virus in my head Unjust, unjust Selfless you tended to our ghost Katherine an unconditional untiring host Well you were there for him when he needed you the most I hope someone restores your heart I hope something restores your world |

Truth and justice And I can't wait for we have to know the truth And what they say is justice What we see All lies, it's justice, a bullet in your fucking face And you believe in the system, believe this whole fraud, the media's lies, the evening you're loaded from within the day, what have you seen, the empty street, that thing, I can't propel it, probably I will, what is right, truth and justice? And I can't wait, where's the fucking truth? And what they say is justice What we see All lies, it's justice, what do you believe, the people always look away Their interest strapped to decay And the people always come on fast Knocked and stole neighbor's cash Fuck justice Justice (x2) Between a lie and your cardboard are your interests, you're to weak to strike, the fucked up incest, the woman in the other street liked them again, can we still burn up before our dying countrys Justice, justice, justice, justice |

My inspiration note the sympathy
They've taken everything you want and they left you all alone My setting sun, self appointed, I am a fraud You are the martyr It's decided and I owe you several worlds I can tell you... Rat in the sewer, scraps they left behind Once their visionary, and they all have robbed you blind Your broken records playing for None fabricate song Amputated creative tongue You sing on and on and I can tell you why I'm bringing you down, Calling you out, Taking your shield It's easier now Years have been kind Distance between Has given hind sight I jumped a train Your tragedy so easy to read, Is bitter envy They're reaping all the lowly benefits You missed the train they stole And you've never... I'm burning you down, Calling you out, Taking your shield It's easier now Years have been kind Distance between has given hind sight I'm on a train |

the future belongs to the children in school There's something wrong 6th grader on crack Hangun overflowing in his hands Now he is just further demand We search for the source and still that child is left watching Inhumanity, bloodshed as the tele-violence feeds his head (Chorus) Only if he knew the consequence of greed A concious state of mind T.V. is not reality Never a victim the role model said Bamg, bang the bad guy is dead Always a rockstar on eMpty T.V. The lesson complete Now the child has needs of competition they bleed Oh beautiful for bills of green Nevermind spacious skies overhead Bleed the earth and butter your bread (Repeat Chorus) Child turns on T.V. What does he see? Nature of man, dishonesty That child grows old Story be told as he sits behind bars and his soul growz cold |

Bitter exit it must feel better Holding that grudge
It's a feeling so familiar Not unlike love Unrequited she's scarred in hatred Yesterday's moving Yesterday's moving It's easier to locate A better nest Tell them you never lived in such a mess Emily at her best in black Reminds them all to stand back At a distance they won't notice the act All that she lacks You can see up close she's bitter Remembering wasted dinners Can't expect the creep to stay long But he's not the one who pissed her off Today is denial Today is denial It's easier if she won't See him again He's just another trip best forgotten Emily may be odd But she always gets even It's not unlike love Emily will find him again Another short-term boyfriend Emily you'll always be alone Tomorrow is heartbreak Tomorrow is heartbreak So bitter ex I'm sorry Sorry I bit that hook I'm just a bad clich??????짤 in your black book |

So come and go as you please Wath's mine seems to be yours Welcome to my drawers Today I heard them say a funny thing They were happy you were clean You were headed for success in the mountains of excess Today you fail them Tomorrow more Maybe I'll lend you some more cash Don't have to play it back I can depend on you Dependent on everyone Why am I guilty of my bending back Over to breaking The object of some desire Too late Too late Today I'm saving you I must have finished my last care with that beer With some ideal I might win while losing That's some mentality I have to finish talking I'm finished talking Today I heard a funny thing Tey were happy you were clean And you won't be looking back to the one that helped you pack |

Here's a song to all my friends
I know they'd like I remember every drunken night at the old dive Driving the ol'wreck Trying to make it home somehow One more pit stop at our favorite watering hole The ghost of Christmas past swallowed all our pride We'd open up our story books and water down the eyes our demons raised their glasses singing "I propose a toast to my friends" Who's buying the next round Cup half empty Cup half full Perspectives and beers They weren't failure Just the regulars of my favorite year They come and go paying their toll From mobiles homes Decaying old unsound minds The ghost of Cristmas failure dancing to the click of time The beating of defeat Shaking in his hands a lifetime of retreat And his regrets were ours A time to say good-bye I've been waiting so long for you to call my old friend To all my friends... |

How does it start?
When does it end? Blood and love graces everyone You only want to touch it once He didn't give it up She wasn't long enough They didn't save your falling smile He never had a chance But there it is You're finally blessed And you can't handle it The worst What did it say? All you really need is love But you're gonna make those fuckers pay You're gonna hurt someone That's all there really is The ones that don't survive They lied to you a thousand times And your starving heart has died But there it is You're finally blessed Failure, failure, failure A cement frown breaking Allows a straight line blown away It fell at thirteen You're wide awake Hours blind every winding curve You start the fall from grace The worst You never had a chance But here it is You're finally blessed |

In a chalk dotted line
Draw a kid, left behind Severed limbs in harmony Strumming from a few good deeds Carry it to survive To a bed half alive Held before a dozen times Deep inside a funeral for a friend Runs in portions like film clips Run, run Rundown the list The memoirist Like kindling Burn, burn, burn, burn down I will stay inside The saved It's a good mourning They will ignite you The doomed I will write for you Of a boy, damaged goods Of a bench, understood For a spell, the soul resides In a yellow chalk outline Carry on the camel's back Have another heart attack To the cure I would drive Played that scene a hundred times to date Today's ambition, to relate In a sustaining saccharine state Impart the burden and get well It's what everyone's trying to sell Anything you want to be Weigh the screenplay and revise Warp, warp, warp with the contortionist So hopelessly ill-fated everyday He will stay inside The doomed It's a good mourning to loom They will inspire him The saved Innocently filling graves |

Can't you see
we the people can make the choices You and I must raise our voices To build a future where we belong Revoke oppression and right and wrong But do you vote or do you only complain Do you just carry on in vain As your economy crashes, your country goes to war The deficit Their answer to tax the poor But you may never know what you refuse to learn Do you work the system or do you get burned? Do you ignore your abilities or your intellect? Are you obse An easy out, you forget it all but it's the hardest path and you chase to follow You wouldn't speak for yourself and now you're spoken for This is something you can not ignore It's time for you to notice the things that die with no more lies You can't deny You're always high and you still bitch Makes me sick It makes me sick the way you always fuckin' bitch I remember a time when I thought it wasn't fair The scales of justice did impair but with no darkness theere would never be light there would never be light Without injustice we'd never have a right |

Friday night's the perfect night to mow some neighbor's lawn,
And Dave is drunk and at the helm before too long. And Chris will gladly ride shotgun, 'cause navigating seems like fun, Drunk and out of gas, they drive around and crash. They're driving through your yard, there's nothing you can do, Dave's behind the wheel, and he's had more than just a few. Suburban families slumber in civility, Awakened to the sights and sounds of the yard they're blowing down in their death machine. Drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive... Dave's a midnight landscaper, and he's working overtime, And he is full throttle--full throttle tonight. (Alright!) He was almost home, just one more block, he had to hit that last mailbox, Dumped it in a ditch, ain't that a bitch? (Stoking the neighbors!) Came time to run, came time to bail, He was having too much fun to spend the night in jail. He had no "Triple A" for a tow truck, Called them anyway: Goleta, hear them say, "Hey pal, you're fucked!" Dave's a decent guy, like most of us, until he drinks, And then his liquid mind takes over how he thinks. And then all that matters is having fun, pulling off the next beer run, On one too many nights, the party's over. He's driving through your yard, there's nothing you can do, Dave's behind the wheel, and he's had more than one or two.

Moments from your end Inconceivable dread Inches from your head I can't bear to imagine you In that horror scene One too sad to be In my mind's eye I am there Embracing you so scared Now you kill me too You killed me too Decidedly willing to lie for you Absolutely willing to cry for you Ill at ease in saying goodbye to you A part of me will never know I am there, again, intervals of red An accomplice to Things I couldn't do In a fable disabled I say words like foolish son God what have you done I'm a thin blue clich??????짤, hopelessly I'm a mouthful of doubtful Decidedly willing to lie for you Say again Willing to cry for you Finally saying goodbye to you A part of you I'll never know Looking through the spyglass in a punctured sky While your garden died You couldn't see the sky for your fallen stars Endless in your arms You were still alive even as the sad astronaut |

Promise, squandered Used to understand the stake in your heart Mileage, road worth But it's hard to recognize the massive burden Born of love and bad deeds And it runs in the family from beginning to end It is just revenge Everybody build a monument to pain Flowers, fast cars Everybody raise the thief in their heart It's just a beating And it sounds just like a million other tributes Customs and demons And it runs in the family with a million regrets It's just (It's just revenge) revenge Everybody build a monument to fear Unsafe people Everybody raise a paranoid child It's just an over-stimulated mind And it sounds just like a billion people starving with no resource for love And it runs in the family with a million missteps It's just revenge Everything echoes Everyone emulates Everyone is a victim of their blood Everyday initiate Everything echoes Everyone echoes All of us are running with the wolves All of us are running out of life |

Don't leave me in this room
The walls are closing in This is the space I used to say The line is drawn for you each day But every day you show With sound of caving walls Some day this song will have no pulse And I'll cave alone But there we are Waiting for your answer Your arms speeded elation Beating out your salvation But when the tape stopped you were gone A half measure from home This week I recreate Edit you back into The blare that could define you Coveted by few who knew The phone rings without pause This grief wills everyone All I have is our shitty song How could it ever be enough? Here we are in our final accord A mortician and his tools Sonically bury you You could have chose another chord to resolve on |

Wasting his days and his nights
Nothing's changed Nothing's right He has no sense of pride Sees no respect in his parents eyes and why should he care? No one ever cared for him? Wasting her nights and days Sixteen with a child God wouldn't have it any other way And then they told her of shame and that impurity made her bed no fuckin' CHOICE She took two lives instead All these worthless nights Al Down the path I follow you because who am I? Denial I still care but it's my life in despair Laughing harder In self-concious I've played my last solitaire That shirt's too tight to wear Wasting my days nad nights Nothings changed Nothings right I know I'm not exactly the parents guide to living but it's the road less traveled in this world so unforgiving and I've lost count of score |

Uncertainty
A foundation built on nothing I could see Secure in your immaculate perception The last resort I ever thought I'd exercise Now, all that I have to stand on Grieving from a different point of view I learned it's meaning from you In life and death And continue ...But faith is just a Silent tribute Mine is just a desperate act Give him back I owe him Throw me a line, I'll suspend My disbelief And concede Following your lead Faithfully I'm Led into this concession with hope and doubt A seemingly futile gesture Faith is just a silent tribute Mine is just a desperate act Holding on It's just this desperation that Takes me home |

Scaling the mountain, I have given up my pride
and I'm clinging to this rocky edge, a rose thorn in my side It's fabled contradiction, it's bitter sweet and blind And I'm balancing the mountain of compromise I went over the hill to be with you I went over the hill I am over the hill to be with you Am I holding on to lies or holding onto life? Standing in position objectivity goes by 'cause it's hard to ignore losing when you're winning all the time and the weight of this too heavy, the ceiling far too low This commitment is restraining and I can't grow I went over the hill, over the hill I am over the hill to be with you Am I holding on to life or holding onto lies? In retrospect in your absence my disposition's gone as I close my eyes to search for treasure in what I once lost I let go of the noose and breath again I am falling from the game and mending a foot (?) |

It opened our eyes We swallowed their pride A new era So whee is the new advise It seems the older methods no longer suffice The very oldeest if thoughts cast into the mold of these new times Vindictive, he raises his fist The animal is instinctive Everyone desires peace but indread of war, still arms increase Perpetual with only one end When that savage nature destroys them all All is written All is forgiven All is lived again After all, this worthless progress is progress made for change After all these vain advances does that concerned animal value his life?

He grew up with nothing
He lived and died poor a father of four He left his family temporarily for a future based on words of chicanery They said join the Army Join the Navy He joined the Marines and his children were proud but exhaltation was exhausted and patronage died when this expendable number left his family of five Imposture and all that man wanted was to provide a better existence for his kids and wife An investment that cost him his life A family of ethics has... A fatality of war can't be noble enough to justify the loss of life so young Continental security Atonement, there's no such thing There was no hero in the end Only letters of resent, remorse, regret Bitter resent Imposture and all those boys wanted was to be alive, a return of existence yet so many died and those who returned were alone with nothing awaiting at home Again the headlines read "A Noble Soldier Finds A Noble Ending" They are the ones who can be done without Expendable numbers forgott no doubt A family of ethics has died |

Labors of commitment
Blood of his arms A growing sense of duty But in his song he's screaming out Insuficient - he just falls further Behind Principles, purpose, tradition, time Weigh heavy on this guilty Mind Wits astray Blind in rage, awar he'll wage on grieving Another no one hanging from the ceiling Because only the extreme makes an impression When drowning in the mainstream One at the mercy of another's faith finally answers to no one in his fall from grace They say they love him but how could they ever Miles above him they ask for repent It doesn't matter what you want from me Don't think there's worth in my apology Because people never really change You and I will always be the same and it's a problem that we can't mend Because it happened once it will happen again Because they plant their seeds of condition Until we have no choice, we lose conviction wits astray Blind in rage a war he'll wage on grieving Another no one blows his head off Because only the extreme makes an impression When drowning in the mainstream no one |

You used to follow - now you lead College has enlightened you And you are proud to be different And like different bands - different types You ain't nobody's fool It's like certain bands remind you of someone you hated 'Cause they didn't wear the right clothing And there's only one true fashion Alot of the bands on the college charts are great bands Until they get signed. Then you hate them It's such bullshit - you used to love them you hypocrite Know it all, know it all Did you really listen to that song? Could you ever write what you call wrong? I remember you and I listening to bands that we liked Only the songs mattered to you But now you're a D.J. and preaching that hype ""Corporate Rock Sucks"" ""You know, college radio enlightens you"" It's supposed to serve as a means to expose new bands Without prejudice, but it makes no sense Safe harbor for the underground 'Til the alternative becomes the popular sound The bands are good 'til they make enough cash To eat food and get a pad Then they're sold out and their music is cliché Because talent's exclusive to bands without pay Know it all, know it all Did you really listen to that song? Could you ever write what you call wrong? Know it all |

And now you're searching
For that new messiah It's your greatest passion, To set'em up and knock'em down Put them on a pedestal idolatry, Wear the ring you're married It's all yours to their envy, Because you hold a higher key of senses And they are drawn like magnets, To a genius, it's confirmed Chorus Set'em up and knock'em down, Tour taste is so accountable This is no great loss, And sharing never was a choice It's burning on your cross, It gives you credit and a voice Here to relay tour beautiful ideals Vicaruiously through them And when he died too many were sympathetic, And they are all pathetic So you dethrone your king, Without listening, without ever listening And Jesus Christ is realized, As he burns on your cross But this is no great loss, Another one will come The wait is short the search is brief, You find another faith, Another Clark Kent, another Superman, Flashing in the pan [repeat chorus] And now you are searching For that new messiah It's your greatest passion, It's the latest fashion |

When there is nothing give But your people kept thinking They could have mine if you'd like to do, live to all in my life totally jaded It's all that cool and it doesn't beat I walk alone with psychic people that I hated No, I have to dole my jaded ways when there's on more So you're gonna do her Before she's gonna do him Your one demand is to get fucked And I'll be playing with violence This act is a whip And where I would walk for someone else Just keep time, all our live's getting murdered, in my life so totally jaded It's all that cool and it doesn't beat I walk alone with psychic people that I hated Oh, I have to dole my jaded ways when there's on more Your life will not last But can I keep this life in junction, never talked with people that life would die I need quiet chatter with the way too damned, I just don't have the time The time gets short, it's not in your butt but my nature, is there something wrong with me? And now I know you're the one to play, you laughed out of your stupid hate Here Why he can't wait, people leave this things They love their vices and virtue And she's afraid of much other chicks And so they give her that piece of shit I get the dynamo fraction So give me just your fucking sleeves But it will all come back at you I hope that I'm around to see you live your life totally jaded It's all just cool, you have no fear You walk alone, just microdont shit, you are jaded I have to dole with stupid clones or weathered shit, you dated hard |

One summer morning
He left us ashamed In some small town of small ways The one they feared They might turn to stone They feared to hold his hand And he died alone Don't leave them on - an island of shame Your solution You - homophobic You - coward You send them away to an island of misery You're not immune to any disease I can not argue when the truth is plain to see In your beliefs, your fear of death I see reflections of society We'll take our last breath - alone Adding insult to injuries - He was alone |

Controlled, consumed
Thoughts unattached Each one a failed synapses detached from fact One positive, one negative Desperate, holding on to healthy images Remember witness, wattness, matters we're not gonna make it Provoking everyone but no one gives a... Half laugh, half sigh Half-sad, half-smile Losing ability to recall his half-life Burn from the stove Keys locked inside Dazed as impending anger turns up in reprise Remember green light, keeper, easy and eyes on the road ahead Provoking everyone with all the words he said Infectious I won't speak of all that would have been Gained, lost, spent But I won't think of all that could have been Controlled, consumed Thoughts unattached Outburst, these images are melding in my head Remember Franken, Milkweg, Lintfabrik The weirdest we have seen Fires and blown-out tires Perfect tragedy Infectious Infectious But I won't think of all that should have been Waste, lost, spent But I won't think of all that could have been Goodbye old friend I won't speak of all that could have been Goodbye old friend I won't speak of all that could have been Goodbye old friend |

I've already come to terms with bridges I have burned We all make mistakes We keep preparing for the worst So we won't seem adverse Just like we rehearsed Click, two, three heartbreaking music So close to loss we use it How much honesty's healthy Say what's on your mind The only way to be Drugs are only for dessert do your homework first We do not administer the cure for that thirst Cause it's always been heartbreaking music so close to death we use it (killing) writing this over and over it'll never mend I am the jest malignant cell playwright to your hell I think I knew you well But I wish I were as smart as you I could have changed your mind Would have, should have, the question 'til I die But it's always been heartbreaking music so close to life we abuse it (killing) |

You jump in front of the bullet
The family put you to it You might survive the first thousand shots Back to the end of the line You hold the will to survive them Answer to those you have failed Time to clean your room and show you are able to stop Beating yourself down You've arrived A wealth of respect, a world of a regard You've always belonged You have to go on I just want you to feel the gun in your hand You used to hold aspiration You couldn't see the limitations Even in your youth you were unsurpassed But driven by grief and it couldn't last Sometimes promise Sometimes goodbye Confessed to all through bloodshot eyes I just want you to feel the gun in your hand yeah It only breaks you until you get off I'm not gonna watch you kill yourself to live It's all so average until you get off I'm not gonna wait here until the body's cold I was young too I felt just like you Hated authority, hated all my bosses Thought they were full of shit Well it's like they say: If you're not a rebel at the age of twenty, You got no heart But if you haven't turned establishment by thirty, You got no brains Because there are no storybook romances No... fairy tale endings so before you run out to change the world, (I just want you to feel the gun in your hand) Ask yourself: What do you really want? |

"Goin' South" by lagwagon
Gotta drive all night if not a go Got to designate a driver before the show It's your turn now at the wheel There's nothing like a guard rail To wake you up in the middle of the night And we are drivin' north, goin' south It looks like we'll sleep here We're out of beer We're headed south on the north bound Our wheels might as well be square Cause we're not really getting anywhere Tire tracks throughout, felt the brakin' I don't think we're gonna make it Drivin' around, goin' down It looks like we'll sleep here, I need a beer South, goin' south, check us out we're goin' south South, headed south, check it out, we're goin' down South, goin' south |

Seems impossible and still I'm sorry I'm sorry Saint freedom, It's so easy when you give up No matter what I've done I could never be the one It's never effortless to fail I can rely on this Could you ever rely on me Jealousy, the boys give you validity No matter what I've done I could never be the one Just a shareholder of lies I put you to bed They will always leave independent of you We will always leave independent of you You could never deny I always knew How to fail you I always knew How to fail you I always knew How to fail you I always knew you |

things don't seem to be as easy as they used to be
it's getting harder everyday to think of better things to sayabout what's going on around you and what's happening inside youwhen it's time to change you won't know howit won't matter years from now no matter what you think or do or say everything turns grey this is it, the darkest hour isn't it depressing how our minds create an atmosphere that won't happen here unless we make some new demands to grasp the future in our hands you know i wish i could but it's too late for senseless minds that love to hate no matter what they think or do or say everything turns grey |
