My World
I'm not comin' back
I'm not gonna' react
I'm not doin' shit for you
I'm not sitting around
While you're tearing it down around us
I'm not living a lie
While you swim in denial
'Cause you're already dead and gone
You'll leave me out on the curb
Just like everyone else before you
Welcome to my world
Where everyone I ever need
Always ends up leaving me alone
Another lesson burned
And I'm drowning in the ashes
Kicking
Screaming
Welcome to my world
I don't care what you think
I'm not seeing a shrink
I'm not doing this again
I'm not another
Student or another
To take your shit out on
So let's see what you got
And let's see what you're not
And whatever else you pretend
You've defended my intentions
Long enough
Welcome to my world
Where everyone I ever need
Always ends up leaving me alone
Another lesson burned
And I'm drowning in the ashes
Kicking
Screaming
Welcome to my world
So here I am again
In the middle of the end
And the choice I wish I'd made
I always make too late
Welcome to my world
Where everyone I ever need
Always ends up leaving me alone
Another lesson burned
And I'm drowning in the ashes
Kicking
Screaming
Welcome to my world
Pitiful
Made the toast
Burned the eggs
Never got the hang of them
Just another other day
Caught the bus
Forgot the change
Looks like I'll be late again
Hopefully they won't complain
My life's so pitiful
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't end it all
If there's a reason then I haven't found it yet
And I try every drug I find
Except maybe heroin and cyanide
But there's a reason I just can't afford it yet.
Oh, it's just another overdose.
Went to work
Saw you there
But you never seem to care
For a single thing I say
I set my clock and went to sleep
This anxiety I'll keep
Through another fuckin' day.
Looks like that's all today, I'm dyin'
My life's so pitiful
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't end it all
If there's a reason then I haven't found it yet
And I try every drug I find
Except maybe heroin and cyanide
But there's a reason I just can't afford it yet.
Oh, it's just another overdose
My life's so pitiful
Pitiful
Pitiful
Pitiful
Pitiful
My life's so pitiful
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't end it all
If there's a reason then I haven't found it yet
And I try every drug I find
Except maybe heroin and cyanide
But there's a reason I just can't afford 'em yet.
My life's so pitiful
My life's so pitiful
My life's so pitiful
I'm DYING!
Cancer
Tell me all your plans
And I laugh back in your face
Preach me your religion
If you're enough to pray
I tried to make a change
To get a better way
To make a little more money
I tried to get away
To see if I could stay
And look what I became honey
What is it I'm after
Searching for disaster
Watching my own life
Flash in front of my eyes
We've been given answers
Still were walking cancers
Dressed up as a life
Getting all your news
From a corporate company
Trading your opinion
For a gallon of gasoline
I tried to get away
To see if I could stay
And look what I became honey
What is it I'm after
Searching for disaster
Watching my own life
Flash in front of my eyes
We've been given answers
Still were walking cancers
Dressed up as a life
Dressed up as a life
Dressed up as a life
This life
Is a waste of time
This life
Is a fuckin' lie
Fuck!
What is it I'm after
Searching for disaster
Watching my own life
Flash in front of my eyes
We've been given answers
Still were walking cancers
Dressed up as a life
Dressed up as a life
Dressed up as a life
Fuck
Dressed up as.
What Are You Looking For
I walk the line of the disappointed
I celebrate when I’m in pain
My heart and mind can be disjointed
I built a bed in this hole I made
I recognize that I’m damaged
I sympathize that you are too
But I wanna breathe without feelin’
so self-conscious
But it’s hard when the world's starin’ at you
Another piece of the puzzle,
it doesn’t fit
You throw your arms up,
you’re so damn sick of it
What are you working for
What are you searching for
love
You won’t be thinking of cars when
You’re on your death bed and dyin’
You’ll only be thinkin’
of what you are paying for,
what you are praying for
Love
You join the line of the getting richer
You keep your pace but it’s movin’ slow
You are defined by all that you have hoarded
But you’re surprised it doesn’t fill up the hole.
Another piece of the puzzle,
it doesn’t fit
You throw your arms up,
you’re so damn sick of it
What are you coping for
What are you hoping for
love
You won’t be thinking of cars when
You’re on your death bed and dyin’
You’ll only be thinkin’
of what you are paying for,
what you are praying for
Love
I’ll never be what I see on the tv screen
I just keep dreaming of what I’m never gonna be
I can’t think of a better way to waste
my time than try
Another piece of the puzzle,
it doesn’t fit
You throw your arms up,
you’re so damn sick of it
What are you hurtin’ for
What are you searching for
Love love love love
You won’t be thinking of cars when
You’re on your death bed and dyin’
You’ll only be thinkin’ of what you are paying for,
what you are praying for
Love love love love
You won’t be thinkin’ of cars when
You’re on your death bed and dyin’
You’ll only be thinkin’
of what are you workin’ for,
what are you waitin’ for
Deliverence
Waiting for another line
Cause you throw them at me all the time
Gotta get away from all her lies
And I gotta get away from mine
Tell me where to go
When fate won't deliver
Cause I can't forgive her
When I let her know
This pain I've been living
Will her next collision be me
Brings situation down
And her temper's always on the rise
I'm living what I've seen before
Well I won't take this anymore
It's time to hold this to the light
Tell me where to go
When fate won't deliver
Cause I can't forgive her
When I let her know
This pain I've been living
Will her next collision be me
Cause her mental prison is not my decision
So I'm cutting my losses this time
I'm no longer living through her tunnel vision
Tell me where to go
When fate won't deliver
Cause I can't forgive her
When I let her know
This pain I've been living
Will her next collision be me
Gotta get away from
Gotta get away
Gotta get away this time
Tell me where to go
When fate won't deliver
Cause I can't forgive her
When I let her know
This pain I've been living
Will her next collision be me
All The Same
I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
And I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly
I don't care no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually
What you'll do
I don't mind
I don't care
As long as you're here
Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same
Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
And in between it always seems too long
All of a sudden
And I have the skill, yeah I have the will
To breathe you in while I can
However long you stay
Is all that I am
I don't mind
I don't care
As long as you're here
Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's always the same
Wrong or right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
I's all the same
In my life
The compromise
I close my eyes
It's all the same
Go ahead say it, you're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same
Too Many Words
I've tried to balance these lives that we are living
You always feel justified but you never feel forgiving
I woke up one morning to find myself wrapped in the things I swore I'd never touch.
And here I am again trying to save what's left of you and I
So why aren't you satisfied?
I reached out, fell short
Now you're hurt, too many words
Breaking the silence
I felt it, bled it, screamed it,
It only gets worse
And it kills me watching me too angry for us to survive
I used too many words tonight
I tried to get it right
But I was just wastin' my time
'cause you never compromised when it came to us
We struggle and fall apart we build it back to static start
The endless accusations I can't believe we made it this far.
I reached out, fell short
Now you're hurt, too many words
Breaking the silence
I felt it, bled it, screamed it,
It only gets worse
And it kills me watching me too angry for us to survive
I used too many words tonight
Waking alone tomorrow, has gotta be better than this
I reached out, fell short
Now you're hurt, too many words
Breaking the silence
I felt it, bled it, screamed it,
It only gets worse
I used too many words tonight
Too many words
Too many words
Too many words
Too many words
Howards Tale
Not found
Asshole Father
I waited for you yesterday
I waited and missed the last train
I waited to say that I'd fallen in love with your way
I waited for you yesterday
Eventually walked home in the rain
I waited to see if you felt the same for me
But you don't,
And you won't
Go against your ass old father
Going broke,
Quitting dope
For your folks
Why did I even bother?
Why did I?
I waited for minds to change
Pointing their fingers of blame
It's not my fault you're ashamed of how you feel
But you don't,
And you won't
Go against your ass old father
Going broke,
Quitting dope
For your folks
Why did I even bother?
Why did I?
Cause you don't
Just admit it
Cause you won't
Just admit it
Just admit it
Just admit it
Just admit it
Just admit it
I called you a whore and down your door
And how could I heal when you won't even feel?
But you don't and you won't
Go against your ass old father
Going broke,
Quitting dope
For your folks
Why did I even bother?
Why did I?
But you don't cause your nothing but
Broken down daddy's little daughter
AREN'T CHA?!!
Going broke,
Quitting dope
For your folks
Why did I even bother?
Why did I?
Issues
I wanna wake up
I've been walking in my sleep too long
Wake up, I'm so sick of dreaming
I wanna slow down
Wanna be part of what is happening around me
Without breathing
Without feeling
Without screaming
So I'm leaving
I'm consciously unconscious
Why am I filled with hate
I like to blame my parents
I'm sure you do the same
Swallow the hurt
Spit out the jerk that's too afraid
I turn the page
To a chapter that they thought
Was just a phase
But it consumed me
You're right, I am a failure
And when my life turns to shit
It won't have anything to do
With the fact that
It's all you ever taught me how to do
So you can relax
Without feeling
Without breathing
Now I'm leaving
I'm consciously unconscious
Why am I filled with hate
I like to blame my parents
I'm sure you do the same
Swallow the hurt
Spit out the jerk that's too afraid
Turn the page
I've been hiding, drowning
I've been running, starving
I've been feeling, nothing
Swallow the hurt
Spit out the jerk that's too afraid
I'm consciously unconscious
Why am I filled with hate
I like to blame my parents
I'm sure you do the same
Swallow the hurt
Spit out the jerk that's too afraid
Anywhere But Here
I held onto you for as long as I could but today
You fell away
Now what I hold are the memories we barely made
I stood on the edge of your bridge until I felt the rain
Wash me away
My confusion left me fast as the vertigo came
What I believed to be true it was only a dream
Believed in me
I just projected it over your beautiful screen
I self medicated my way through this mess that we made
So I could stay
There was nothing, but I waited
I waited
This was my mistake
Broken are plans we made
So I will be traveling any place
Cuz anywhere's better than
Here we rest in peace
Rubble beneath the feet
I shouldn't have followed you anywhere
Cuz anywhere's better than here
Where is the space I could move, where could I rest my head
There's nothing left for me here
It's hard to leave behind
The one thing that made me feel alive
So I slide
From paranoid to paralyzed
This was my mistake
Broken are plans we made
So I will be traveling any place
Cuz anywhere's better than here
This was my mistake
Broken are plans we made
Here we rest in peace
Rubble beneath the feet
I shouldn't have followed you anywhere
Cuz anywhere's better than here
The Bottom
If you wanna
Sink to the bottom with me
Come get gotten
Reeling and rotten beneath
One, two, three
And down you go
You'll be smiling
Before you know
If you wanna sink to the bottom with me
We're all rotten
Buried and forgotten
Living it up underground
So take a ride
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
You really can't be looking so surpised
If you can't beat them
Might as well eat them
No ones getting out alive
Give it a try
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
It really is a wicked way to die
Listen my friend
To sound of the sweet melody
Doesn't it seem to resound
Like an old memory
Screaming and crying
We'll have none of that
You had you're chance
Now just sit back and relax
Don't you want to sink to the bottom with me?
We're all rotten
Buried and forgotten
Living it up underground
So take a ride
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
You really can't be looking so surpised
If you can't beat them
Might as well eat them
No ones getting out alive
Give it a try
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
It really is a wicked way to die
You'll get used to it in a while
Look at the way each of us smile
You were living a fantasy
This is exactly what you need
If you want to sink to the bottom with me
You're getting real gotten
Reeling and rotting beneath
One, two, three and down you go
Feel that smile just start to grow
If you wanna sink to the bottom
We're all rotten
Buried and forgotten
Living it up underground
So take a ride
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
You really can't be looking so surpised
If you can't beat them
Might as well eat them
No ones getting out alive
So give a try, try, try, try
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
It really is a wicked way
Really is a wicked way
Really is a wicked way to die
They're all just so pathetic
It's all psycosomatic
The more they think the more we know
So welcome home
