some cute lil' rhymes

if you don't feel like making amends
i recommend burning that bridge at both ends

in the corner of my room
there is a hole
that shoots down straight to hell
that i fall into every night

there's still some good on this earth
and i'll make you feel it's worth

similar drugs

i had a sharp mind. but now it's kinda dull
it's collecting cob webs and rusting in my skull
i had a smart heart. but now it's kinda dumb
it goes insane sometimes and beats itself apart

so i bought a conscience. cause my judgement kinda slips
cause my mind and heart love shooting from the hips
but my smooth voice. is getting pretty horse
from all the cigarettes and my diction's pretty course

about sex and love and similar drugs
you see, they don't seem to fit
in with the other ones
so file'um under miscellaneous

I'll get to them, it won't be long
i don't wanna be right or risk being wrong
i want to file'um under miscellaneous
and hold my grudge, hold my grudge

i had a sweet tooth. for all the same old shit.
then it rotted out but the shit just didn't quit
i had a keen eye. a straight shot to the core
but my common sense isn't common anymore

about sex and love and similar drugs
you see, they don't seem to fit
in with the other ones
so file'um under miscellaneous

I'll get to them, it won't be long
i don't wanna be right or risk being wrong
i want to file'um under miscellaneous
and hold my grudge, hold my grudge

about sex and love and similar drugs
you see, they don't seem to fit
in with the other ones
so file'um under miscellaneous

I'll get to them, it won't be long
i don't wanna be right or risk being wrong
i want to file'um under miscellaneous
and hold my grudge, hold my grudge

infection

so flip a switch
and take a look at all your bones of brass
and of tin, and of chalk, and of glass
and analyze your insecurities
to appease
my disease

it's in my brain, and my heart
in my lungs, and i'll start
to infect you
i'll infect you

so take a chance
you never know just how dance
until you try
and you'll find
you might not know the moves
but don't you fret
it'll come in time
and when it does i'd like to make bet
you'll do good
and you'll do fine
and you'll be happy that you took the chance in spite
of the fear
and all the worry you've built up will disappear

from your brain, and your heart
from your lungs, and i'll start
to infect you
i'll infect you

through your open wounds you cleaned so well
i'll settle in and your heart'll start to swell
inside of you
but no doctor could ever prescribe
or diagnose what i put inside you

your infection is my affection
deep inside of you

i can cure you
i can bring you home
i can save you
i can make you whole
i can wake your bones
i will wake these bones
deep inside of you

through open wounds you've cleaned so well
i'll settle in and your heart'll start to swell
inside you
but no doctor could ever prescribe
or diagnose what i put inside you

your infection is my affection
deep inside of you

pirate chorus

and the captain told us well
we're shipping off to hell
to go toe to toe with beasts in the belly of the east
this is our decision
that freedom's our religion
and it's something we can trust
but the bottom of the sea is now coming up to get us

track skip #2

and there's nothing wrong with having fun
winning big and betting none
you gotda get done
what needs to get done

but we got no map, no plans,
no sense of direction, no destination
but a sweet sensation
for the next 24 hours

kid

rethink and react
but your system will crash
fail and collapse
then fade to the past

then recharge and reboot
get the blood, get the brains
get the bones and even the toes
all moving again

this is no time to be a kid
so find what you hid under that lid
you know what you did

mischief night

october 21st and it feels like mischief week
so every kid pours to the street
packing heat from the edge of their seat
we're gonna run this town for solid week

we got the jocks and goths
freaks and the geeks
all willing to make a scene
loaded up on caffine and nicotine

cause it's a mischief night and we're feeling alright
we're gonna drink and drive and fight all night
we're gonna smash mailboxs and break out lights
cause it's october 21st again

don't tell me it's sin and we're gonna begin tonight

sad love song

but with persistent resistance i'm still hesitant

so if your taken back
by how i react
i'm just use to Indian givers and the sins
and i could never love that way again no more

all the wounds have left
i drowned them all in salt
bleach
and cigarettes
so i would never love that way again no more

no i will never love that way again no more

dig

and your hearts so full of pain
so let it drain

dig it in and bleed it out
the hardest part has only just begun
so dig it in and bleed it out
you got some time to kill till it's said and done

and how low you gonna go?
there's only so much blood in there
and how sad you gonna get?
from listening to all the regrets
and how long's this gonna last?
till all the pain you drains put in the past

so dig it in and bleed it out
the hardest part has only just begun
so dig it in and bleed it out
you got some time to kill till it's said and done

loner (#8)

i'm making funny faces in the mirror
trying to cheer myself up now
i've got myself into a mess
but i'm not sure how
yea i'm not sure how

but i could be wrong
yea i could be wrong

my mind tends to repress this mess
trying to dig it out right now
but i'm not gaining ground
cause i'm not sure how
yea i'm not sure how

but i could be wrong
yea i could be wrong

i'm not suited to be on my own
it's just not me to be all alone
i don't fill that bill
i don't fit the crowd
i share the common ground
with the folks around
but lately
it's been lonely
and i'm not use to being lonely

sand castle

and it's all cause of you and you're spastic little fits

so i threw my stick down in the sand
and laid out my demands
i''ll carve this line
and divide us into sides
you pick yours
and i'll pick mine
and as long as you don't cross that line
you and i will get along just fine

simple things (#5)

the simplest things endure
and the simplest things ensure
that we are all in for a change

the complex toys you horde
and the complex lives you forge
say that we are all against a change

so grab your picket signs
dress it up in words and funny rhymes
and tell yourself these simple things
just won't endure
and can't ensure
and that's what complex things are for

to regulate the wine
to keep your bank book in line
they say it'll be fine
if you keep your complex design

so embrace your confusions
and embrace your delusions
of these complex needs
to fill your complex dreams
to make it simple again

track skip #1

you make me complete

you make me completely

ya got to pay to say
it's just a game we play
but i can't feel a thing anymore

and when you're here, it's so unclear in the car
where we veer and steer from the bar
it's in the rear view mirror with all the beer
and all i hear, ringing in my ear is
i can't feel a thing anymore

songs

everybody's singing madder songs
and nobody wants to get along
everybody's singing different songs
and its wrong
cause people can't deal
when the shit gets real

so this is it
throw a fit
and you quit

but don't ignore
anymore
this is war

so raise your fist
and get pissed
at the goverment's list

but what are you fighting for?
is it even worth fighting for?

everybody's singing sadder songs
and nobody wants to sing along
everybody's singing different songs
and it's wrong
cause we're so full of doubt
since the hope ran out

you lack the drive
to survive
in your daily life

so reform
and conform
to your local norm

you're not yourself
and gaining wealth
but hurting your health

so what are you crying for?
is it even worth crying for?

i'm gonna try and sing a better song
i don't expect you to sing along
i'm gonna sing a different song
but it'll turn out wrong
cause people tend to fear
what they don't wanna hear

so what am i trying for?
is it even worth trying for?
no it's not worth trying for

it's not worth fighting for
it's not worth crying for
it's not worth it anymore

bed heads (#7)

lets take nyquil
and stay awake
we'll play with power tools
that we got from flea markets
we'll play with chem sets
that we got from yard sales
we'll try to make a way
that we both can sleep all day

so load up the back seat
with blankets and pillows
we'll drive until we crash
and can not last no longer

we don't sleep in silence
we don't sleep at all
we can't rest our weary heads
unless we're under heavy meds
we dream of nothing
unless meds decide to bring

technicolored dream scapes
that we can't escape
it takes a week of nyquil
but it's worth the wait

a song for ghosts about songs about songs for ghosts

but he got the final laugh

cause he haunts her everyday
he haunts her everyday
he wouldn't miss a single day
the bitch had it coming
and she better start running
but it's gonna happen anyway

cause he haunts her everyday
he haunts her everyday
he's tormented her in every way
she apologized to him
for every little sin
but it's gonna happen anyway

a collection of undone lyrics

1. Rat Race
under hot suns
they're like hot guns, they're like hot guns
and your crimes will show
they're benign though they'll grow so

don't be afraid
of the rat race
just keep your pace
in the rat race, in the rat race

in the ra-a-a-a-a-a-a-a
rat race
you're in the rat race

so come on down
bring your cold knives, bring your cold lives

2. Hand Rolled Cigarette
and your hand rolled cigarette
and i bet
it's laced with something fine
and i be
on your hand rolled cigarette

3. Pretty Lil' Bombs
your bombs, your bombs
your pretty lil' bombs a secret
you're never gonna keep it safe enough
so hope to god
that no one knows there bombs
pretty lil' bombs
yea hope to god
that no one pulls the pins on your pretty lil' bombs

4. Parking Garage
another night stuck in the parking garage
i'm lost and my head's feeling large
from 150 things on my mind
and i can't seem to find any out sign

5. The Simplest Thing
the simplest things endure
the simplest things ensure
that we are all against a change

the complex toys we horde
the complex lives we forge
say we are all against a change

so grab your picket signs
dress it up in words and funny rhymes
and tell yourself these simple things
can not endure
they won't ensure
and that's what complex things are for

to regulate the wine
to keep your bank book in line

6. Do or Die
you've never seen a man with a gun in his hand
and you don't know what to do
when he bares on the trigger with his hair pin trigger
and the bullets coming for you

it's do or die

7. Sleep High
lets take nyquil
and stay awake
we'll play with power tools
that we got from flea markets
we'll play with chem sets
that we got from yard sales

8. Loner
i'm making funny faces in the mirror
trying to cheer myself up now
i've got myself into a mess
and i don't know how

trying to convince myself i'm
some kind of strong

but i could be wrong
yea i could be wrong

i'm not suited to be on my own
it's just not me to be all alone
i don't fill that bill
i don't fit the crowd

lyrical vent

i can't eat
don't even have confidence to go back to sleep
i can't think
cause my minds focused on those voices

those reoccurring nightmares
bring me to hysterics
its like they're pounding in my head
i never get a break

they're always shouting
and they're getting stronger, getting longer
they're getting louder, getting louder
i'm not sure what they mean
in their psycho, maniacal, ear splitting ramble
i'm not so sure just what they mean
in their psycho, maniacal, ear splitting ramble

morning grind

pretty people come into town
to run around taxi cabs in a crowd
they're in their suits and their matching shoe
with no time to be singing the blues

they're tied down by a carbon sheet
to bring home the bread every week
working late for the old homestead
i'd rather lay around in my comfy bed

i'm seeing sunshine on the morning grind
i'm thinking a fine time to make you mine
i'm thinking this grinds the perfect time
to make you mine

well me, i'm just a passerby
cut off jeans in a sea of ties
and i don't care too much for shoe
i kept it simple so there's little to lose

i'm seeing sunshine on the morning grind
i'm thinking a fine time to make you mine
i'm thinking this grinds the perfect time
to make you mine

so take a break in my comfy bed
like i said, lay around instead
it pays better than your nine to five
i'd rather live than just try to survive

it pays better to live than survive

i'm seeing sunshine on the morning grind
i'm thinking a fine time to make you mine
i'm thinking this grinds the perfect time
to make you mine

i'll make you mine
cause it pays better to live than survive

dance hall court

in a crowd of people late at night
the lights are beaming, speakers screaming
it's a lust feeling
in a crowd of people late at night
i'm contemplating strangers tonight

should i deviate from the track
or put a target on my back and sit back
till your eyes, they lock, there's nothing stranger
than walking up and falling in love with a total stranger

so give me a twist
i don't wanna miss
your hips'll rock
and you'll just drop

so do you wanna save me
from the loneliness
just take a dose and get too close
i hope you know you took the most
on a dance hall court
go!

(some verses eventually)

so do you wanna save me
just follow me on one two three
and if every g would sing with me
its all lust, greed, and ecstasy
on the dance hall court

laugh it off

repress
it seems to work the best
when i'm still crying

and i can't
confront
all this
cause i'm still hiding

cause i'm a basket case that tends to erase
mishaps, fuck ups and has a bad case
of listening to the darker side of me
he's beating me down with beat down memories

and he's still screaming

you're not good enough
you're not strong enough
you can't win
come on laugh it off

he's still screaming

look what you did
you're a monster
just like me
come on laugh it off

ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha
ha ha hahaha

now i'm
reciting certain lines
from all my stories

just the
best parts
cause i
i love those moments

cause i'm a basket case that tends to erase
mishaps, fuck ups and has a bad case
of listening to the darker side of me
he's beating me down with beat down memories

and he's still screaming

you're not good enough
you're not strong enough
you can't win
come on laugh it off

he's still screaming

look what you did
you're a monster
just like me
come on laugh it off

ha ha ha ha

wait

I'm going out to do a thing
don't stay up, don't ask me what it is
I'm going out with a couple of my friends
don't stay up, don't ask me to see this

my visions blurred, I'm not okay,
my head is pounding, and I'm stubbling around
it's such a rush, I'm such a mess
my stomach flips, and I am on the ground

i never should have done that
now i'm pretty blitzed
my worlds spinning like a top
from one too many hits

So i'm going out to do a thing
don't stay up, don't ask me what it is
I'm going out with a couple of my friends
don't stay up, don't ask me to see this

so hear's the truth, it's coming out
you're gonna shout at the top of your lungs
i let you down, i know i did
i'm sorry now for all the things that i hid

i never really loved you
i used you for the fun
i got mixed up in all the things
i never should have done

sharing a shake down at deans old diners
splitting a grinder and nothing ever looked finer

lullaby

I miss sleep

i eat junk food when I head to bed
keeps my mind mixed up and out of it
I dream things i don't understand
and wake up cold with sweaty hands

the faucet fills my feet
with it's pitter patter beat
and the skeletons and demons waltz that I
keep in my closet

i scare myself
i scare myself to sleep
it's the only thing that keeps
me rested for weeks

i scare myself
from time and time again
i scare myself
when sleep won't give in

i'm not sure what's real anymore
three days awake spent on the floor
i don't wanna spend another night
saying over and over I'm alright

and that pitter patter beat
makes me anxious in my seat
so i sleep walk to the closet where i ask
if i can join them

i scare myself
i scare myself to sleep
it's the only thing that keeps
me rested for weeks

i scare myself
from time and time again
i scare myself
when sleep won't give in

i roll around and think
with that pitter patter sink
and by the time I'm done
i scare myself just cause it's fun

I get no peace from lullabies
unless they're yelled like battle cries
I get no peace from lullabies
unless they're yelled like battle cries
I get no peace from lullabies
unless they're yelled like battle cries
I get no peace from lullabies
unless they're yelled like battle cries

a mirco nap or two
just to get me threw
a comas getting closer
a comas getting closer
and i'm so sure what to do

so i scare myself
i scare myself to sleep
it's the only thing that keeps
me rested well for weeks

i scare myself
from time and time again
i scare myself
when sleep won't give in

i scare myself
i scare myself
when sleep won't give in

jersey

if finally own a jersey shirt
this is in celebration of that simple fact

well auto mechanics and high school attics
drive beat up pickups sputtering hiccups
going 95 singing enjoy the ride
oh, oh enjoy the ride
and then you'll find

that those kids know how to act
but they just fail to react
in their high school jerseys

when every garage band goes hand in hand
with blistering fame that's come and came
singing i'm alive so enjoy the ride
so, oh enjoy the ride
and then you'll find

that those kids know how to act
but they just fail to react
in their high school jerseys

it's come and came
and they're still the same
and they never change
in their high school jerseys

it's come and came
and they're still the same
and they never change
in their high schools jerseys

when football team promised you a dream
so you throw the ball and it's closer than it seems
so testify enjoy then ride
oh, oh enjoy
but then you'll find

that those kids know how to act
they just fail to react
in their high school jerseys

-solo-

it's come and came
and they're still the same
and they'll never change
in their high school jerseys

it's come and came
and they're still the same
and they'll never change
in their high school jerseys

cigarette

six five on another eon
and i know that i couldn't go on
without a cigarette
another cigarette

so light me up
so light me up

when six five on another eon
and i know that i couldn't go on
without a cigarette
another cigarette

so light me up
so light me up

it's cold cold night in the north north east
not a care in the world, no, not in the least
and i know that i couldn't go on
without a cigarette
a fucking cigarette

cause six five on another eon
and i know that i couldn't go on
without a cigarette
another cigarette

so light me up
so light me up

2010

i'm still learning what's right and wrong
the categories blur within the song
everybody knows their rights and wrongs but me
what's it gonna take to see?

maybe a call from the local cops
a house party in a cardboard box
stuck in the rocks
board it up with pins and locks

or insides filled with vladamir
when you're driving drunk without the fear
you don't notice everything's unclear
when you're driving drunk it's so hard to steer

you won't make it home this year

we're all raised as petty crooks
hardly breaking the laws in all the books
we fit the looks to dull to shine
and all these wrong words tend to rhyme

yes every wrong word tends to rhyme

strangest heaven

it's taken 6 years to write you a love song
i love ya bit

1 - dear ms. lady

2 - it's gonna be okay
3 - it's gonna be alright
4 - it's gonna take sometime
5 - for this wet paint to dry

6 - but maybe I'm wrong
7 - maybe they were the right one's all along
8 - we don't fit together cause being alone's
9 - so much better than being together
10 - but we're still together

11 - let me be your strangest heaven
12 - your backwards, up the wall, against your mother's law
13 - kind of heaven
14 - your twisted, mess up, wrong in every way
15 - kind of heaven

16 - so just take my chance
17 - and I'll meet your dare
18 - cause i'm one stubborn mother fucker and you're a vicious bitch
19 - but shits getting better all the time
20 - and a part of me says "fuck, that's fine"

21 - what a change of pace
22 - and this scenery
23 - I just thought I'd remind you that I'd loved you
24 - cause we tend to forget

25 - let me be your strangest heaven
26 - your backwards, up the wall, against your mother's law
27 - kind of heaven
28 - your twisted, mess up, wrong in every way
29 - kind of heaven

30 - now we don't have time for stupid fights
31 - I've learned that my ego isn't always right
32 - I've cleaned out my conscience and I gave it to you
33 - nearly tore your heart right in two-o-o-o

34* - let me be your strangest heaven
35 - your backwards, up the wall, against your mother's law
36 - kind of heaven
37 - your twisted, mess up, wrong in every way
38 - kind of heaven
39 - your backwards, up the wall, against your mother's law
40 - kind of heaven
41 - your twisted, mess up, wrong in every way
42 - kind of heaven
43 - let me be your strangest heaven

44 - sincerely yours, mr. boy

old apartment

in our old apartment
we were doing just fine
in our old apartment
when the world was small
and not a thing to find

in our old apartment
you could come and stop by
in our old apartment
when our life was good
and no one cried

in our old apartment

angel

i'm that angel with the one good wing
couldn't sing
doesn't know a god damn thing about prayer
and i'd never wear that halo
oh no, you know i go slow

so believe
in me
put faith in something you can't see
cause it's easy
to believe
but won't always grantee
it'll be
this easy
just don't leave me for another brother

i'm that angel with a broken string
no king
wouldn't do a god damn thing too brave
and i'd never save no one
don't run, i'm too fun and not done

tallies

thats one for the alcohol
two for the lies
threes for the lust and a DUI
and four is the cost
when five is the loss

of how i coulda been bolder, oh so bolder
still counting the tallies on the back of my shoulder

so count it one, two, three, four
anybody whats the score
