Oh
The rain is coming, carry back us back to
The place I’ve fallen, is nothing more than to go
Erase the martyr, spending the time that you know
Is meant to be wasted, but I can’t waste it in proof
Oh
You’re screaming out windows, chastise the kids as we go
Amazingly quartered, made up to order for you
Was never enough to fully satisfy you
I speak for the bleach and I never wanted the proof

Afraid to Wake Up
02:31
|
|||
|
Been thinking about getting rid of my stuff
Just not quite sure if we’ll have enough
Get Charise to call and bring some up for us
Rip the bag with you teeth, cavities be damned
We’ll find a dirty road in your daddy’s van
Do a little more to prove that you’re man enough
Lying around, too afraid to wake up
Acid’s in the water, well we’ll get him to smoke
Test this shit and we’ll see if he chokes
If he stays alive then it’s good for the both of us
Cut me off so I ran him off the road
I pulled him though the window and I broke his nose
As his kids cried out, I prepared to show what happens
Lying around, too afraid to wake up
What are you doing lying around too afraid to wake up?

Did You See?
03:01
|

I've been dizzy before
Put my head on the floor and where were you?
Sitting in the back of your car
Listening to songs bout the end of the war
I've been weary before
Seen inside the door
Of this world to see evil men
They’re capable and they’re inside your friends
Did you see?
Written on the wall
All spelled out in blood
Is our names, is our names
I know you've been here before
Got a look in the morgue
But did you hear? There’s no revolution on
Just another wet dream of a protest song
There ain't no love any more
Putting faith in a lord that never shows
To take you up on your offer
Is your soul enough?

Nothing Wrong

Sorry I was staring at your gun
I’m just aching for another one
And everybody acts like I’m nothing wrong
Their hands in their pocks and they’re playing dumb
I get no sleep
I get no sleep
She was 17 when they left her in park
Just an OD’d girl, no one around to point em out
So when I saw her on my TV screen
Her parents crying out and they’re looking for me
I get no sleep
I’m up all goddamned night
I get no sleep

The Idiots

I don’t know what you’ve done to me
But I can’t take it if I can’t figure it out
In the truck I’m a passenger with hands made of rock
And I can’t keep my tongue in my mouth
Eye-e-eye out the passenger side
I throw my head out, headlights are making me blind
Eye-e-eye it’s the end of out lives
Yeah, no one told me but I don’t think that I mind
English driving, I can’t keep it straight
I push on the gas and I reach back to keep her at ease
Jump the curb, in the lake, and the water
Pouring in. Why’s everyone trying to leave?
I don’t know what you’ve done to me
But the door won’t open and I’m still thinking about
In the back is Charise and she’s screaming,
“OH MY GOD! WHY WON’T YOU LET ME OUT?”

Can't Go Home
05:23

They’re gonna come at me again
With everything, with anything
I’m gonna scream out why it hurts so bad
Like everything is caving in
It’s just a joining of a process
The house of which I reside
The enemy of progress
Takes refuge with me beside
Tired
Of writing down words about you
Tired
And I can’t go home
Sleep until the day breaks
Getting up, listening
Pull the pen from my pocket
Just to put it back inside again
It’s still dividing osmosis
When I can add it up
And if you saw the process
By any means, say enough
Tired
Of writing down words about you
Tired
And I can’t go home

Memories Lie
03:16
|

You call for a little show-and-tell
And yeah babe, my life’s been going swell
But the truth of it is I ain’t feeling so well
Right now
I’ve seen my good friend die
And I’ve my old memories lie
It makes you happy just to be alive
Right now
Oh no
What do I do when I don’t know what to say to you?
Cause where was I when you were out and in pain?
All I know is if you let me
I’ll stay
I spent a lot of my time
A sadness I’m not proud to define
But having you here takes it off of my mind
For now
Cause I’ve found that all good things die
And it’s not rare to have memories lie
It’s just enough to make you want to be alive
Right now
