Another Night
02:30
|
|||
Another night and we're kickin' round' the neighborhood
reminiscing over slow sad songs
another bottle and it didn't do me any good
I've been waiting way too long
She's going out and I wonder if she's coming home
she says she loves me but she never calls
couldn't kill me any more if she asked me
to leave the lights on.... leave the lights on
another night and I listen to the passing cars
don't have the heart to tell me what the hell is going on
feel like a chump lying naked in my empty bed
it isn't right, but I'm a sucker for the punishment
Its 3 a.m. she's probably fucking with her ex
shes high on coke and shes chain smoking cigarettes
I fall asleep just in time to hear the telephone,
she needs a ride home, she wants a ride home
another night, says that it'll be the last time
that's what she said when I caught her in the last lie
people never change, people never change, people never change.

I Feel Like Giving Up
02:50
|
|||
I think I used to have a dream
and that's what's really killing me
the futures never looked so tired
it's got me tearing at the seams
I know I don't belong here
so keep the engine running I'll be leaving soon
I'm never gonna make it up for never being enough...
I feel like giving up
I think I used to have a heart
back when I was young
and now I can't get out of bed
I still don't know where I went wrong
I know there's something wrong here
Can't get away from it I know you feel it too
I'm Never gonna make it up for never being enough,
its really not your fault
I think I used to be in love.....
Its eating me alive....

First long drive of the summer
smoking cigarettes to stay awake
you said, you didn't want nobody but me
We kept a secret for the summer
I kept my heart tucked well away
I knew it wouldn't last but I wanted to see
You fell asleep
in the passenger seat with the windows rolled down
like you knew, that it would be over by the time I left town
It was the loneliest drive of the summer
Ice pack to keep the swell away
cause I knew, I couldn't want nobody but you
I kept a bottle close for the summer
dark whiskey and a pack a day
cause I knew why you left me but I wanted proof
and I couldn't sleep
with all the windows open in an empty house
in a bad way, without an explanation why it couldn't work out
and you won't say nothing....
you won't say nothing to me
nothing....
I liked you better that way

History Repeats
03:40
|
|||
I guess its true you turn out like your folks
I'm 26 and I'm still flat broke
I'm getting better at taking the blame
guess its all part of the family name
and I finally gave up on the pills
now I got a lot more time to kill
to think about where I might have went wrong
guess I still have trouble moving on
there's a cycle that you'll never break
make the same mistakes your parents made
don't matter run away
you'll still end up in the same place,
the snake will always eat it's tale
you'll set yourself right up to fail
probably end up in jail
cause history repeats.....
I still long to change the world some
that's what makes me my fathers son
but I'm still too damn bitter to change
I drink the whiskey that my grandpa drank
still think the worlds given up on me
inherited the family disease
and it don't matter how I look at things
it still don't change the way I look at things

I hate the sound of this guitar
its always out of tune
and how all its marks remind me
of songs I wrote for you
and I hate these fucking words
that I can't fucking sing
about the times we spent together
that don't mean a fucking thing
I hate my tedious routine
I'm really such a bore
and I hate these fucking cigarll ttes
think I'll have one more
cause I hate my fucking lungs
for gathering the air
to tell you how I feel
when I know you don't fucking care
but if there's six simple words
that are closer to the truth
I hate myself for loving you
I hate being alone
and the thoughts it makes me think
but I hate being social
so I guess I'll have a drink
and I hate being drunk
makes me feel like we should talk
but I hate my fucking liver
so I'll have a few more shots
I'm gonna hate tomorrow morning
cause I hate puking bile
I hate waking up in dirty clothes
cause I passed out on the floor
and I hate staying up all night
trying to keep occupied
cause I hate seeing your face
every time I close my eyes
yeah, I know what you hate about me
and I'm starting to hate it too
I hate myself for loving you

Man So Down
02:51
|
|||
Saint John
sitting on the beach
staring at the sun
a lot of grey hairs growing on his head
since he was young
nothing in the world to see now
just need a little time to sort it out
a bottle of red wine
to calm the nerves
and ease the pain
and think about the one
that got away
there's nothing in the world to taste now
just need a little time to sort it out
Who could love a man so down?
who could love a man so down?
I think I understand now.....
who could love a man so down....
Can't put the top on the bottle
or put a tiger in a cage
cause he's and angry son of a bitch
full of love
and full of rage
That's why John's
sitting on the beach
staring at the sun
a lot of grey hairs growing on his head
since he was young
there's nothing in the world to see now
just need a little time to sort it out....

Monster
02:55

I got her on loan
from a hospital for the narcissistic
just my type, she was broken enough to make me feel nostalgic
we got on, like a house on fire
blowing in the wind, in the middle of the desert
guess I didn't know how hot it'd burn
I saw the light
the water was right for the superstitious
so I played my hand, lost enough to make myself look stupid
guess it wasn't enough,
to love her like a fire, through the cold, cold, winter
guess I didn't know how cold it'd get

Mayday
03:26

Give it away
when I've been running on empty
I'm barely hanging on
but I'll make it through
It's safe to say
that she never loved me
I got strung alone
it ain't nothing new
MAYDAY! MAYDAY!
I gotta get away from here
if there's a god up there
he better come back to hell
Get away! Get away!
I can't stand the irony
I'd rather that you take my life
than go and let me down
I got pain
that burns hotter than whiskey
now it don't work the same
I wanna drink gasoline
I hope she's lying awake
the same way that I do
cured with the agony
that wont let me sleep
MAYDAY! MAYDAY!
I gotta get away from here
if there's a god up there
he better come back to hell
Get away! Get away!
I can't stand the irony
I'd rather that you take my life
than go and let me down

Nothing Honest
03:33
|
|||
There's nothing honest in this world boys,
no sacred heart to lay your head on
and there's no such thing as loyalty
and there's no one you can trust
but there's still one thing you can count on
your bleeding heart will be run over
so don't invest yourself in true love,
some girls like breaking hearts
You might find a friend in whiskey
something bitter to confide in
and its ok to take it too far
just don't tear yourself apart
cause there's some people you can't save kid,
if it hurts you try to let it in
there's some battles that just can't be won
just know it ain't your fault....
There's nothing honest in this world
We don't all get a silver lining
there's no sure way to hit the big-time
sometimes the struggle lasts forever
but it's ok to be the last in line
sometimes you only get a freeway
a radio to help you stay awake
not everybody finds a soul mate
don't mean you can't have a good time
If you find yourself getting lonely
over some lover that you can't see
just know you're not the only one
who knows what it means to pine
something about the heart is troublesome
you want to hold on to the one you love
just don't let her be the only thing
that's ever on your mind...
There's nothing honest in this world....

One Place To The Next
03:48
|
|||
There ain't no chance remembering the places that I've been
every day I wake up and I don't know where I am
but there's something heavy, buried deep, that's weighing on my chest
and I take it with me one place to the next
There's a world outside the window where the highway never ends
be careful with apologies, it might be your last chance
I'll leave my resentments with the fragments of this home
it's something I'll get used to on my own
It's been a decade
running on empty
and I can't see the light of day
It's just a memory
doing nothing but kill me
and I can't find no other way
I went to the ocean with a mind to make amends
and left with nothing but ten thousand pages on regret
cause I didn't find the answers to my questions in the sand
guess I'll have to find them somewhere else
Coping with the irony gets harder over time
and that chip that's on your shoulder can't come with you when you die
If I know anything, it's that I'm good at holding on
It's something I'll get used to on my own

The summer's long over
the future looks ugly
its easy to feel all alone
we stomach the memories
with bottles of whiskey
till one day they swallow us whole
It's not hard to be a nihilist
in a world that's so comfortless
when everything you loved once is gone
nothing matters anymore it adds up to a lot of letting go.
or am I just getting older
my hearts getting tired
I'm cynical, rigid, and cold
I wake up each morning
feel more like a burden
seems better to go it alone
cause it'd be inconsiderate
to drag somebody into this
its hard to explain, so I won't
nothing matters anyway it adds up to a lot of letting go
emotions move like tides
when you're angry your alive
at least there's something crashing on the shore
when the anger in you dies
the black water goes flat
and there ain't nothing moving anymore
how can you make it back to land
no wind, no waves, no sails
can you still pretend that you're in control
nothing matters anymore it adds up to a lot of letting go
I used to have faith in people
I had hope for the future
I had things to believe now I don't
expectations will buy you
the best disappointments
and that's what kills me the most
so I'll bury my detachments
in a pile of bad habits
hope they kill me before I get old
Nothing matters anyway it adds up to a lot of letting go
