Get Your Head Straight

Get your head straight before it's too late.
Get your head straight and find a better way.
[x2]

There are dark nights, and there are hard rides.
There are a million things to think about when you give up getting high.
Limited sight came back to tired eyes,
And we watched the city lights fight brightly with their will to stay alive.
Everything is gonna be alright.

Get your head straight before it's too late.
Get your head straight and find a better way.
[x2]

On the whole, we don't talk much anymore.
We might as well be blind and left to rely on signs and semaphore.
This contact craving constantly collides with conscious contradictions,
Constrained, and condemned to stay inside.
This year goes out to metamorphosis.
There's gotta be a better way to begin to get some more from this.
The problem is, I don't know what it is.

(But I'll call)
When I find out.
These are the seeds of monstrous trees.
When I find out...
They're growing, I'll live off the leaves.
When I find out,
They've grown, I'll harvest.
When I find out,
They've grown I promise to get my head straight.

Get your head straight before it's too late.
Get your head straight and find a better way.
[x2]

Swift And Unforgiving

Oh, a winter river flows,
Icy in the veins of all of us.
This flood will run red.

We're outwardly composed,
And awkwardly arranged of blood and dust.
This flood will run red.

A deluge swift and unforgiving.
A Tidal Wave.

We all drown, we all drown, we all drown
Down, down, down

God Damn these fragile lungs.
And God forgive us,
Pray this levy holds.

This flood will run red.

Awash in undertow.
Overwhelmed by currents carrying us out.
This flood will run red.

A deluge swift and unforgiving.
A Tidal Wave.

We all drown, we all drown, we all drown
(Loose lips and sinking ships)
We all drown, we all drown, we all drown
Down, down, down

We all drown, we all drown, we all drown
(Loose lips and sinking ships)
We all drown, we all drown, we all drown
Down, down, down, down, down

We all drown, we all drown, we all drown
Down, down, down
We all drown, we all drown, we all drown
Down, down, down

The Push And Pull

There isn't always room to breathe.
His lungs are longing for release.
His choices are:
A: Pack and leave.
B: Begin to make his peace, or
C: Start screaming (he starts to scream)
Until he has no voice.
He was never that great with multiple choice.

Besides run, stay, or scream, the truth remains the same.

We are the sum of the revealing (Answers to)
The questions of our feelings.
We are the sum of the revealing (Answers to)
The questions of our feelings.
We are the sum of the revealing (Answers to)
The questions of our feelings.
We are the sum of the revealing
Answers to

She's beautiful and brilliant though,
incapable of letting go.
When he's gone she lays awake all night.
At home she's prone to picking fights.
So she starts screaming (she loves to scream)
Until she has no voice
She's in love with conflict
and conflicted by choice

Besides run, stay, or scream, the truth remains the same.
Besides run, stay, or scream, the truth remains the same.

They have each other in a violent grip of pure ambivalence
(They love the push and pull, that makes them miserable)
God bless their swollen hearts, made up of broken parts
(They love the push and pull, that keeps them comfortable)
Besides it's not true love they need, it's the uncertainty

Up With Me

Bolt the windows, and lock the doors.
There's gonna be a shit storm.
Of the life unlived, caused our scars and wind to blow.
Oh, oh, oh, it's terrible.

You threw it all up, keep it up.
This essence roots, writhe deep
I'm stuck, I'm overwhelmed.

I've made mistakes, they keep me company.
Oh man, what's up with me?
But I've changed, it's comforting.

For the sake of secrets, let's say I'm safe.
Let's say I got a hiding place.
Let's say I've made apologies, the hearts I've broken have been appeased

Let's say the storm, like most, will pass.
Let's sing a song for a leaf, and last...
Let's say that only time will tell if I'm really over being overwhelmed.

I've made mistakes, they keep me company.
Oh man, what's up with me?
I've changed, it's comforting.
It's honestly that easy.

There's something soothing, it's real as hell...
About climbing up from where you fell.
You finally forget to be overwhelmed.

I've made mistakes, they keep me company.
Oh man, what's up with me?
I've changed, it's comforting.

The Heirs Of Error

We pass the time by dreaming of our futures,
And rationing preserves. Get set, get ready for anything.
Even if the earth quakes,
We'll grit our teeth, and stand until our bones break.
We pass the time (here we go)
Hey!

What's the point of growing up and growing old,
If you just grow tired?
Raise hell, riot
But don't go quiet.
We're going to pay for past mistakes we didn't make.
That's how it is.
That's who we are:
The heirs of error.
Wasted air and war!

We will rebuild.
We will rebuild.
We will rebuild or die trying.
We will rebuild or die trying.

We grew up quick and ill-equipped to handle this,
Put trust in our leaders, God and country.
Each took off running with hope and land crushed in their hands.
We're all we have, that's how it is.
That's who we are:
The heirs of error.
Wasted air and war.

Come on out, we're here waiting.
With our empty hearts in our hands.
There are no songs worth singing,
So just scream till this nightmare ends.

Come on out, we're here waiting.
With our empty hearts in our hands.
There are no songs worth singing,
So just scream, come on, come on!

We will rebuild.
We will rebuild.
We will rebuild or die trying.
We will rebuild or die trying.

We're gonna pay for past mistakes.
We're gonna pay for past mistakes.

Let Me Be Your Swear Word

I know that you're waiting,
'Cause that's what you do.
Yeah, I'm on to you.
I'm over the waiting,
I'm coming for you.
So get up and get out here.

You and me and the bottle make three.
Get on it.
On it.
On it.
This bottle's gonna take us both to an early grave.
This bottle's gonna take us home.

You're stripped to the waist,
And I'm begging for you to do what you do.
A sip for the taste and a shot to subdue...
All the things that hold us back
From the bed to the shower, the shower to the floor...
You call out for more.
From the floor to the climax,
We get up and pour out two more for two lovers.

You and me and the bottle make three.
Get on it.
On it.
On it.
This bottle's gonna take us both to an early grave.
This bottle's gonna take us home, tonight.
One bottle's gonna take two bodies to an early grave.
This bottle's gonna take us home.

We wake up unsteady, because that's what we do.
There's no way I'm good for you.
You stand up and hurry me out of your room.
I got it, I'm leaving!

You and me and the bottle make three,
But that's over, over, over, over.
Let me be your swear word.
I swear, you'll be mine.
I swear, you'll be mine.
Let me be your swear word.
let me be your swear word.
This bottle's gonna take us both to an early grave.
This bottle's gonna take us home, tonight.
One bottle's gonna take two bodies to an early grave.
This bottle's gonna take us home, tonight.
This bottle's gonna take us home.

Hey, Thanks

"You'll wake up wrapped in winter if you sleep through summer."
Hey, thanks for the tip, but I doubt that you've got it covered.
We'll use spring and fall as buffers while our skin gets tougher.
And you? You can cling like clichés to one another.

We're taught to take precautions.
We take more than our share.
The cautious steps we're taking, yeah,
can't take us anywhere.

We sprang forward and fell back,
and we heard our clocks ask: "Hey, you!
If time's a constant, why am I constantly under attack?"
So, we held its hands to help it, but our hearts were selfish.
Sometimes the best intentions end up intense without means to quell it.

We're taught to take precautions.
We take more than our share.
The cautious steps we're taking, yeah,
can't take us anywhere.

We poisoned our blood streams and blackened our lungs.
We've enabled the edifice that it's how we belong.

We may suffer together, but we all die alone.
We may suffer together, but we all die alone.
We may suffer together, but we all die alone.
We may suffer together, but we all die alone.

We are taught to take precautions.
We take more than our share.
The cautious steps we're taking, yeah,
can't take us anywhere.

The cautious steps we're taking, (We may suffer together, but we all die alone.)
can't take us anywhere. (We may suffer together, but we all die alone.)

Fall For The Drinker

Another year. Another year.
Raise your glass high.
Leaves will fall. The snow will fall.
Raise your glass high.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?

We're all here now.
We're all here now.
Tonight, to hell with everything else.
We'll drink hard. We'll drink to ourselves.
Tonight, to hell with everything else.
We'll drink hard. We'll drink, we'll drink to ourselves.

Raise your glass high
To fallen friends of tragic ends;
To lovers lost of a heart's exhaust;
To wasted time;
To wasting time.
Raise your glass high
To money gained, to money spent
On whims and needs of good or ill intent.
To each resulting argument
Raise your glass high.

Here's to a hundred years,
And if the drink should fall.
Let it fall for the drinker,
Let it fall...
Fall.

Tonight, to hell with everything else.
We'll drink hard. We'll drink to ourselves.
Tonight, to hell with everything else.
We'll drink hard. We'll drink to ourselves.

Tonight, to hell with everything else.
Tonight, to hell with everything else.
Tonight, to hell with everything else.
Tonight, to hell, tonight, tonight to ourselves.

Apartment 4

I got high as a kite on Friday night...
And listened in on all my neighbors' arguments,
They love to fight,
I love them for it.
I go to sleep to the sound of slamming doors and expletives,
I wake up to the sound of breaking toys and crying kids.

I can't get them evicted, because I've grown addicted...
To laughing through my floors.
If they move out, I can't live here anymore.

This is (my home) a getaway from feeling oh, so desperate (oh,no)
It's all I've grown to know.
This is (my home) a getaway from feeling oh, so desperate (oh,no)
It's all I've grown to know.
Oh no.

I swear to God, this winter's got it in for me...
It's cold as hell.
And Hamilton, apartment four is in deep freeze.
And it's hard to tell if it'll thaw, or if the ice is here for good...
It's killing me.
The frozen air has wrapped me up and tied me down.
It's time to leave.

I'll make a promise...
Heartfelt, and honest.
That when I get back home...
If it's still freezing,
I'll slit the winter's throat.

This is (my home) a getaway from feeling oh, so desperate (oh,no)
It's all I've grown to know.
This is (my home) a getaway from feeling oh, so desperate (oh,no)
It's all I've grown to know.
Oh no.

This is my home.

Reason Ain´t Our Long Suit

We turned our questions into burning obsessions.

Some asked: "Why me?"
Others cried: "Why everybody else except me? Accept me!"

Answers proved aloof or elusive
and always seemed to be conducive to mood swings.
With tempers flaring
we took those tattered chi's and ideologies out of their vaults.
Our faults aren't our fault.

Now we're better than ever.
And we're better than ever.

We drowned our problems in the whiskey.
The bottom of the bottle dripped as clean as our conscience,
we slept unconscious.
We smoked our drugs and cigarettes to cleanse regrets,
and always betted on regretting the outcome.
We did, and then some...
We rinsed our nicotine stained fingers double clean.
We dropped back to default.
Our faults aren't our fault.

Now we're better than ever.
And we're better than ever.
Now we're better than ever.
And we're better than ever.

(1, 2, 3, 4!)
(Reason ain't our long suit)
Regressions left our lessons laid out for our attention.
(Reason ain't our long suit)
A tension left us open to change. Three cheers for hoping! (1, 2, 3, 4!)
(Reason ain't our long suit)
Regressions left our lessons laid out for our attention.
(Reason ain't our long suit)
A tension left us open to change. Three cheers for hoping!

Regressions left our lessons laid out for our attention.
A tension left us open to change. Three cheers for hoping!

Now we're better than ever.
And we're better than ever.
Reason ain't our long suit.
Now we're better than ever.
And we're better than ever.

It Won´t Be Long

He kept his craft confined to the night
Subdued by sleep, we hate to wake up.
He cataloged and counted his kills, divided the dead,
And suddenly stopped.

Prompted by the heat of July,
The sweat on his skin beaded and fell.
He never prayed a day in his life...
Cause man what's the point when you've been promised to hell.

There's something to be said for the crowd,
Which gathered and grew and erupted into song.
He smiled, as he toyed with the noose, and took up their words.
Oh, it won't be long.

Oh, it won't be long [x4]

The tune collapsed, and the mob ceased their song...
Confused and in awe of the monster trained to sing.
The hangman tightened up and leaned in,
And offered the man a chance to speak before he'd swing.
He cried out:
"Man and monsters both make mistakes.
But for every man who cries and begs for time enough to grieve.
You'll find a million more monsters like me.
Who'll lick our wounds and laugh when we leave."
Then the trap door released.

Oh, it won't be long.
