Bones 02:37
It’s not what you say But where you belong There’s no time to think Just sing along I never said I’d change Just more of the same It’s out of my way And down the- Don’t want to be the only one who thinks he’s wrong That’s not enough And I- don’t want to be the one who always think that he’s right When I’m totally not Don’t say you tried and planned Don’t think you understand It always ends up the same way in the end If you could empathize Sit down apologize I know there’s nothing left to say or to defend And I- Don’t want to be the one that always thinks that it’s wrong That’s not enough And I- Don’t wanna be the one who always says that it’s right When I’m totally not I feel you in the morning after And I can sense you deep inside my skull And where that goes hell only knows back to the place you know you’re running from Another place I don’t belong And I- don’t want to be the only one who says that it’s wrong That’s not enough And I- don’t want to be the only one who thinks that he’s right When I’m totally not I feel you in the morning after And I- I can sense you deep inside my bones I feel you in the morning after And I- I can send you deep inside my skull And where that goes hell only knows Back to the places you know we’re running from Another place I don’t belong

Pipebomb 02:57
Pipebomb Every word is like a pipebomb Better yet pretend there’s nothing wrong If you’re too scared to leave the light on Pull the cord and the next stop I’ll get off If only works if you try too Another line it won’t be nothing new If you’re too scared to leave the light on Pull the cord and the next stop I’ll get off You don’t get to shit right down my throat Turn around and try to call it a root beer float You don’t get to say you like this band Talk shit so small that birds can’t land In the night Who do you have left you can turn to When the damage inside of you Is too afraid because it looks deep Pull the cord and the next stop I’ll get off Every word is like knife wound Turning the handle inside of you If you’re too scared to leave the light on Pull the cord and the next stop I’ll get off You don’t get to say that you play fair You stack the deck and try to tell me that I don’t care You don’t get to pretend that we’re the same Talk a mean game but then you cave The same We get it You’ve had it It’s not looking good for us We get it You’ve had enough She’s had it He’s had it It’s not looking up for us We get it You’ve had enough You want it all to be the same So bring the pain You don’t get to shit right down my throat Turn around and try to tell it’s a root beer float You don’t get to say you like this band Talk shit so small that birds can’t land In the night We get it You’ve had it It’s not looking good for us We get it You’ve had enough She’s had it He’s had it It’s not looking up for us We get it You’ve had enough You want it all to be the same

Sinker 02:13
Scott sank to the bottom of the deep Cheap and easy to find you There is no need to remind you And everyone’s got something for you now But there’s no reason to follow the bitter pill that you swallow There is no easy way out There is no mission to find you With all the questions leading to the answers left untold There is no easy way down There is no voyage to save you For all the lies you ever told you told them to yourself Kate stepped to the edge of the West bank Looking eager to borrow Another clue you won’t follow Blank stares illuminate grey skies You never bothered to ask why You only know how to sink to Another easy way out Another mission to find you With all the questions leading to the answers left untold There is no easy way down There is no voyage to save you For all the lies you ever told you told them to yourself There is no easy way out There is no mission to find you With all the questions tracing back the answers of your past There is no easy way down There is no decision to save you For all the lies you ever told you told them to yourself

Testify 02:13
Yeah you take the stand But will you testify Under oath or under command Yeah you change the rules But now you change the game By saying anything you can And I know know know just what you’re doing here And how I’ve got it all wrong I swear that I swear I wouldn’t be anywhere Without dirty Punkrock songs And nobody knows how long it’s gonna take to get there You think we might have seen a landmark or 2 or 3 by now But if you need someone to hold When the nights have grown too cold Just know that I can be everywhere at the same time The same time Sure you take the stand But not in self-defense You got the power of faith on your side Hypocritic, opportunistic You got the crime and I’ll serve the time And I know know know just what you’re doing here And what you’d say to me to today You’d swear that you’d swear I would get anywhere Once you get out of my way And nobody knows how long it’s gonna take to get there You think we might have set off a landmine or 2 or 3 now But if you want someone to hold When the nights they’ve grown too cold Just know I can be everywhere at the same time The same time And just how long do you expect them to sing along? The fires in my hand and in the ream of self-control And just how low do you want the shit show to go? I swear it sounded better in my head than dripping down your spine And nobody knows how long it’s gonna take to get there You think we might have seen a landmine or 2 or 3 now But if you want someone to hold When the nights they’ve grown too cold Just know I can be everywhere at the same time The same time The same time

Ira 02:52
Maybe you never heard the knock on the door And it seems just like we’ve been here before And now we’re only floating away I can’t hear anyone I can’t hear anything else And all the anecdotes just get in the way I hope it snows forever and a day And it’s taken all my courage to say I owe you everything Can’t think of anyone else And I’d give anything to say That I know who you are today You take your time behind my back I wonder if you wonder it’s a matter of fact I don’t know the first thing That’s bumming you out now it’s worsening You never wear your heart on your sleeve If there’s something simple say it to me Your smile fades in the spring time Don’t owe you anything Don’t owe you anything else And if I ever have to see you again I promise this will be the end And I’ll blame it on the record store Can’t help it anymore Did I help you at all Cause I’d give everything I’ve made To say that I love who you are today You take your time behind my back I wonder if you wonder it’s a matter of fact You don’t know the first thing Bringing me down now it’s worsening Cause these are the thoughts that live inside my head I wonder if I’m better or if I’m better off dead I don’t know the first thing bumming you out Now it’s worsening I don’t know the first thing Bringing you down now it’s worsening I don’t know the first thing That’s bumming you out Now it’s worsening

Northern 02:57
Stronger opening Expiated atrophy All you had to do was ask Whether it’s charting a new sea The place you’re meant to be Or kissing someone’s ass You keep telling me to change my mind Flip me over, hit play, then rewind I once was lost But now I’m found Guess I figured out Navigated my way out Without your sex appeal Would you have a record deal Or still be waiting tables? See I do what I want And you do what you’re told to do But now I’m able To say I will not forgive I won’t forget Doubled down and called and you can bet I once was blind but now I see Guess it starts in me Made it where I want to be And I know we’re still landlocked But can you suspend your disbelief? Please You keep telling me how I should live Fuming like I have a fuck to give I once was lost Twice deceived The fire starts in me Guess I still believe Shuck

Got Dead 02:19
I fucked up a Get Dead song in Minnesota It was the worst night of the whole damn tour When the guy in the Misfits shirt just kind of walked away I began to fear that’s when we lost the room Now Timmy Guns is keeping the pre-roll on lock And Young Ish is just churning the night away But when Jeremy checked himself into the hospital That’s when McGuire turned to me and sang Have you danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight? Do you know whose house we’re crashing at tonight? Have you seen Sam? Would you like a beer or dab? Did we make enough merch to get a Hotel? Now Pat should not ask hobos for free cigarettes Especially now in Nelson or Calgary Now every time we gotta get into the van We remind him that he is 23 We made a lot of friends over in Edmonton Canadians said our Punkrock skills legit But when Sam drank too much whiskey in Regina That’s when the night all kinda went to shit Have you danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight? Do you know whose house we’re crashing at tonight? Do you have the trailer keys? Did Flatfoot already leave? How many songs is Agent Orange gonna play tonight, yeah? Now the acid was timed to hit at the boarder Being detained for 2 hours will make you have to pee They found the drugs that Scotty hid inside the room Cause everywhere we go we make a scene Have you danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight? Do you know whose house we’re crashing at tonight? Have you seen Sam? Would you like a beer or dab? Did we make enough money to get a hotel? So don’t fuck up Get Dead songs in Minnesota Remember your breakdowns and outrows too If the guy in the Adolescents shirt just walks away Then I guess you’ll have to tell us fuck you too

American't 02:26
Everybody wants to have more fun When cloistered in doubt Fear is the new drug We’re on the way out Please tell me how to live A sneer into a grin Create or replicate Postmodern masturbate I spend my time in the rough Get tough get tough get tough Tell me you’ve had enough Cause we’ll fight We’ll win Show how to bleed American We’ll kill to fight and die to live No love No Hate No masters but what you create To lose or live Deny yourself It’s already gone You waste your time talkin that shit Open your mind don’t be a hypocrite Laid out Guns out Walking around the sweet decay We live to fight another day I bide my days in the rough Get tough get tough get tough Tell me you’ve had enough Cause we’ll fight We’ll win Show how to bleed American We’ll kill to live and live to fight No hate No love Just vicious bastards from above Destroy, rebuild, begin to create We’ll fight We’ll win Spit back their own medicine Don’t deny change within yourself No love No hate Just sit back commiserate We’ll kill to live and live to kill Don’t say you’ll change Bruce Willis ain’t got nothing on this shit
9.
In a different time In a different state We create An ounce of comfort But for now we just die in our Gridlock just like we’re landlocked And are you Barney? And is this Bedrock? Because I can’t see A goddamn thing And that bird just gets in the way And I don’t care if I get lost And I don’t care if I get hurt I just wanted peace through discomfort To show this guy treats you like a jerk And I don’t care if I get scared And I don’t care if I fuck off I just wanted love left after rent To know that this justifies the cost Cause love I need you to comprehend that you’re bending my ear With every word you say Cause I I’ll make it quite clear Through my hopes and stares That I’ll get up again Are you a southern cross? Or a hole in the ground? I can smell a rat from 10 yards No matter where you Don’t think that I can hear you But if I don’t sleep This will be something new And I don’t need a companion Who’s just going to get in the way And I don’t care if I get lost And I don’t care if I get hurt I just wanted peace through discomfort To show this guy treats you like a jerk And I don’t care if I get scared And I don’t care if I fuck off I just wanted love left after rent To know this pain justifies the cost Cause love I need you to comprehend that you’re burning my ears With every word you say Cause I I’ll make it quite clear Through my hopes and sneers That I’ll get up again

Blamegasm 03:11
Falling down the rabbit hole A bitter heart and a force full of pull Harmless facts you should learn to tell yourself Waking mind and sleight of hand We’ll make a mockery out of this In troubled hallways you have learned to trust yourself Now I don’t know Was it you? Is there anything left to do? Cause we only use the right words The wrong way But now there’s nothing to say Was it you? Was it me? Is there anything left to see? When we only use the wrong words The right way Now there’s nothing to say Brick through the stained glass of your mind A better paycheck interests your time Of course there’s somethings you should try to do yourself A lanky dog and a tired bit We’ll suck the fun right out of this shit These are the days that you could learn to be yourself But I don’t know Was it you? Is there anything left to do? When we only use the right words The wrong way But now there’s nothing to say Now I don’t know Was it me? Is there anything left to see? When we only use the wrong words The right way But now there’s nothing to say The truth is in the photograph Turning tides but the film won’t lost And it shows And thrown it away I was in your family tree Made a face that didn’t work for me Cut it lose turn and burn And blew me away Now I don’t know Was it you? Is there anything left to do? When we only use the right words The wrong way But now there’s nothing to say Now I don’t know Was it me? Is there anything left to be? Cause we only use the right words The wrong way But now there’s nothing to say We only use the right words The wrong way But now there’s nothing to say We only use the right words The wrong way But now there’s nothing to say

Specter 02:46
You got your first real switchblade You always liked the way it felt Cold and true Designed for what you lose You had the best witty comebacks Instincts are what you’re made of now Deprived youth You love all that you choose You got your first real switchblade You always liked the way it felt Cold and true Designed for what you lose You are all that you choose I saw Your shadow Dancing on the wall You were there Last night Praying for me to fall I know you’re beneath it all Fell in love with you first car Always like the way it felt Gripped these roads Cold wet to find yourself Had a taste of the good life Looking for a new fix now Can’t undo what you never had at all In the dreams I can recall I saw Your ghost Dancing on the walls You were there Last night Praying for me to fall I know you’re beneath it all You fell in love with your first wife Always thought she was the one Damned untrue Designed for what you lose You fell in love with your handgun You always liked the way it felt Cold untrue Designed for what you lose You are all that you choose

Backdraw 02:05
Backdraw Losing my mind or am I losing my patience I Never said that I would die for this dumb shit I never meant to cause you pain It was always our pride that got carried away Loving my life just like I loved my whole family I Always believed and I burned with desire To carry on No disregard for the moments that came We were ghosts in the dark Looking back on all these sinking ships We were trains off tracks We were dead to the wind But I get by And I’ll be fine Learning to swim but we were grounded like sailors we Made some mistakes but wouldn’t say it’s a failure I can’t compete with the way you feel It was always your word against mine in the end Loving my life just like I loved my whole family I Never said that I would die for some dumb shit The gifts we shared have come and gone We were waiting for gusts that always pulled us apart Looking back on all these sinking ships We were trains off tracks We were dead to the wind But I’ll pretend And I’ll be fine Here’s to looking back on all these sunken ships We were trains off tracks We were ghosts in the wind No more leaving town Bottles Breakdown Staring At The Wall Bri and Jimmy’s Last Call But I’ll pretend And I’ll feel fine

Epoch 02:46
Here it to bad luck in all its forms That we have to learn from Don’t break character you will Bounce back and learn from your mistakes Do you give more than you take? I don’t think we will make it Never said that I would ever be saying sorry For something that I know I could never be Cause I’m not sorry The only thing that word should ever mean to yourself is that Sooner or later You get what you’re after Know who is the slave and see who is the master Running from the places we can find Some payback in my mind I’ve seen this fall to pieces Fuse, mend, uncomfortably create Do you choose all that you hate? Not jaded, complicated Never thought that I would ever say That I’m not sorry for something that I know I would never do Cause I’m not sorry The only thing that that word should ever mean for yourself is that Sooner or later you get what you’re after See who is the slave and know who is the master Faster Spun from an early grave I’ve been out of my Plato’s cave Don’t think for even one minute That sooner or later you get what you’re after I whip out my heart then you leave me right after All these things and more they are just waiting for you and there’s No hope to ignore just what door will you choose and then Don’t live down your great mistakes Change love and give it a break Live to love learn to forgive Yourself
