1. All the same Verse 1 I don’t care where you come from As long as you come to me But 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 Chorus Go ahead tell me you’ll leave again You’ll just come back running Holding your scarred heart in hand And I’ll take you for who you are If you take me for everything And do it all over again It’s all the same Verse 2 Hours slide and days go by Till you decide to come And in between it always seems too long For certain But I have the skill yea I have the will To breathe you in while I can How ever long you stay is all that I am I don’t mind I don’t care, As long as you’re here. Chorus Bridge Wrong or right Black or white If I close my eyes it’s all the same In my life the compromise I’ll close my eyes It’s all the same. 2. Anywhere But Here Verse 1 I held onto you for as long as I could but today You fell away Now all I hold are the memories we barely made I stood on the edge of your Bridge until I felt the rain Push me away My confusion left me as fast as the vertigo came Verse 2 What I believed to be true it was only a dream That lived 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 Chorus This was my mistake Broken are plans we made So I will be traveling anyplace Cause anywhere’s better than here Here we rest in piece Rubble beneath my feet I shouldn’t have followed you anywhere Now anywhere’s better than here Verse 3 Where is this space I can move, Where can I rest my head There’s nothing left for me here Its hard to leave behind The one thing that made me feel alive So I slide from paranoid to paralyzed back to top>> 3. 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 asshole father Going broke quitting dope for your folks Why did I even bother? Why did I? I waited for minds to change Pointed 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 asshole 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 wont just admit it Just admit it Just admit it I called you a whore And Broke down your door But you don’t even hate me And how can I heal When you wont even feel Why won’t you hate me? But you don’t and you won’t Go against your asshole father Going broke, quitting dope for your folks Why did I even bother? Why did I? But you don’t Cause you’re nothing but broke And you’re daddies little daughter Aren’t ya? Going broke, quitting dope for your folks Why did I even bother? Why did I? back to top>> 4. Cancer Verse 1 Tell me all your plans and I’ll laugh back in your face Preach me your religion if you’re dumb 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 Chorus What is it I’m after Searching for disaster watching my whole life flash in front of my eyes we’ve been given answers still we’re walking cancers dressed up as a life Verse 2 Get all your news from a corporate company trade in your opinion for a gallon of gasoline GO! I tried to get away to see if could stay and look what I became honey Bridge This life Is a waste of life this life is a fucking lie! back to top>> 5. Deliverance 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 Chorus Tell me where to go When fate wont deliver Cause I can’t forgive her When I let her know This pain I’ve been living Will her next collision Be Me Bringing situations down her temper’s always on the rise I’m living what I’ve seen before Well, I wont take this anymore It’s time to hold this to the line Chorus Bridge: 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 wont 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 back to top>> 6. Howard’s Tale Verse 1 Age 5, Just a little boy shy Is he ready for the big surprise? He’ll be playing lego in a dream when the shadows come to life. Age 9, And he should’ve been fine with a secret he’s sure to keep Two times had to tell a little lie for the sake of him and me Now its over I need closure Chorus Hey! Look what you did to me When you were taking me home, getting me stoned, leave me alone. I waited for mum to comfort me But when I opened my mouth "Don’t say nothing, SHH" Verse 2 Age 12 and it isn’t going well, now it’s 3 years to the day Confused, but unlike you this feeling won’t go away 16 and the woman down the street has invited him to come inside. The first time it didn’t feel right, it’ll be the last time he tries. Chorus Hey! Look what you did to me When you were taking me home, getting me stoned, leave me alone. I waited for mum to comfort me But when I opened my mouth Don’t say, "Nothing’s wrong" I won’t say nothing’s wrong I won’t say, I won’t say, I won’t say, I won’t say, I won’t say, I won’t say Verse 3 17, all he’s ever seen is living in between the lies. Its kind of funny how a mind can keep living in denial 18 is a very strange scene, he’s still playing with the past Expelled, maybe someone could’ve helped if someone had known to ask. Chorus Hey! Look what you did to me When you were taking me home, getting me stoned, leave me alone. I waited for mum to comfort me But when I opened my mouth "don’t say nothing, SHH" Verse 4 19 and he’s innocently parked right beside a school He stares at a boy sitting there and the boy stares at him too He walks over He needs closure back to top>> 7. Issues I wanna wake up I ‘ve been walking in my sleep to long wake up I’m so sick of dreaming I wanna slow down I wanna be part of what is happening around me Without breathing Without feeling Without screaming So I’m leaving Chorus I’m consciously unconscious Why am I filled with hate I like to blame my parents I’m sure you’d do the same Swallow the hurt Spit out the jerk that’s not afraid Verse 2 I turn the page To a chapter that they thought was just a phase But it consumed me Your’e right I am a failure and when my life turns to shit it won’t have anything to do with the fact that’s all you ever taught me how to do so you can relax! Without feeling Without breathing Now I’m Leaving Chorus I’m consciously unconscious Why am I filled with hate I like to blame my parents I’m sure you’d do the same Swallow the hurt Spit out the jerk that’s not afraid Turn the page Bridge I’ve been hiding, drowning, I’ve been yawning, starving I’ve been feeling nothing back to top>> 8. 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 Gimme one good reason why I shouldn’t end it all If there’s a reason then I haven’t found it yet And I tried every drug I find Except maybe heroin and cyanide But there’s a reason I just can’t afford them yet Oh, it’s 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 keep Through another fucking day Looks like that’s all today, I’m Dying My life’s so pitiful, Pitiful, pitiful, pitiful, pitiful back to top>> 9. The Bottom Verse 1 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. Chorus We’re all rotten Buried and forgotten living it up under ground So take a ride HEY HEY HEY HEY You really can’t be looking so surprised If you can’t beat them, Might as well eat ‘em No-ones getting out alive Give it a try Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey It really is a wicked way to die Verse 2 Listen my friend to sound of a sweet melody Doesn’t it seem to resound like an old memory. Screaming and crying we’ll have none of that You had your chance now just sit and relax Don’t you wanna sink to the bottom with me? Chorus Bridge 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 Verse 3 If you wanna sink to the bottom with me You’re getting real gotten, writhing and rotting beneath 1,2,3 and there you go Feel that smile just start to grow If you wanna sink to the bottom It really is a wicked way, It really is a wicked way, It really is a wicked way to die Coda They’re all just so pathetic Its all psychosomatic The more they think the more we know So welcome home back to top>> 10. 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 Tryin’ to save what’s left of you and I So why aren’t you satisfied? Chorus 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 what’s in me’s too angry for us to survive I used too many words tonight Verse 2 I tried to get it right, But I was just wasting my time Cause you never compromised, When it came to our lives We struggle and fall apart We build it back to stutter start The endless accusations I can’t believe we made it this far Chorus Bridge Waking alone tomorrow has got to be better than this. Chorus Too many words (repeat) back to top>> 11. My World Verse 1 I’m not coming back I’m not gonna react I’m not doing 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 your already dead and gone You’ll leave me out on the curb Just like everyone else before you Chorus 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 Verse 2 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 a mother to take your shit out on So lets see what you got lets see what you’re not and whatever else you pretend you’ve defended my intentions long enough Bridge So here I am again In the middle of the end The choice I wish I’d made I always make too late. back to top>> 12. What Are You Looking For Verse 1 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’ve made I recognize that I am damaged I sympathize that you are too I wanna breathe without feeling so self-conscious But it’s hard when the world is staring at you Chorus Another piece of the puzzle that doesn’t fit You throw you 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 dying You’ll only be thinking of What are you paying for? What are you praying for? Love Verse 2 You join the line of the getting richer You keep your pace but it’s moving slow You are defined by all that You have hoarded But you’re surprised it doesn’t fill up the hole Chorus 2 Another piece of the puzzle that doesn’t fit You throw you 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 dying You’ll only be thinking of What are you paying for? What are you praying for? Love Bridge I’ll never be what I see in the TV screen I’ll just keep on dreaming of what I’m never gonna be I can’t think of a better way to waste my time than try. Chorus 3 Another piece of the puzzle that doesn’t fit You throw you arms up you’re so damn sick of it What are you hurting for? What are you searching for? Love You won’t be thinking of cars when You’re on your death bed and dying You’ll only be thinking of What are you paying for? What are you praying for? Love, love, love, love You won’t be thinking of cars when You’re on your death bed and dying You’ll only be thinking of What are you working for? What are you looking for? back to top>> |
