Sometimes you feel like you're living at work I don't know if it will be cold tomorrow Maybe it will and maybe it won't Because you never really know in Ohio And I just want to tell you I'm sorry But you're cell is on the fritz so you won't answer your phone And I just want to tell you that I love you But you don't want to hear it so I guess I'm all alone tonight Feeling alone when you get back home Because your friends are right where you left them And you can't relate to their everyday And their stories about home, they mean nothing. And I just want to tell you I'm sorry But you're cell is on the fritz so you won't answer your phone And I just want to tell you that I love you But you don't want to hear it so I guess I'm all alone tonight When you're sick and tired of being on the road And all you want to do is come When you feel like there's nothing left And you feel like you've given your best Got 30 minutes a night where you don't feel alone And I don't know where I'll be tomorrow And I wish I was back in Chicago Because they say that this city's a graveyard Yeah they say that this city's a graveyard They Say that this city's a graveyard Yeah we've buried ourselves in a graveyard.

I took a drive down the street Where me and my friends used to meet The house where we lived had burned down to the ground Sometimes I feel incomplete I feel like I suffered defeat Are you still trying to lie After all the things you have survived? All the people you know and the places you go Are you still trying to die? I've got Teenage Amnesia I took a drive down the street It's not the same as it used to be The house where lived had burned down to the ground Sometimes I feel incomplete I feel like I suffered defeat I've got Teenage Amnesia I knew this place like the back of my hand Before any rock and roll band Before any plans or any lines in the sand Are you still being a man? I've got Teenage Amnesia I feel like I suffered defeat (I remember you) Are you still trying to die? (I remember you) Are you still trying to die?

Do you feel like the whole world is ignoring you? Like you've got nothing to look forward to? I know just how you're feeling I know too well It's tap water and boots for dinner Or grit my teeth through another winter You're too strung out to see me You're too strung out Always one step behind Always one foot below Always one step behind We're not smoking speed like we were 17 Everybody is always so pissed at me I know just how to reach you I know so well Always one step behind Always one foot below Always one step behind It's tap water and boots for dinner (Always one step behind) Or grit my teeth through another winter (Always one step behind) I know just how you're feeling (Always one step behind) I know too well

There are emotions that these kinds of things bring That I know I should feel but I can't feel a thing They're grinding me down Like something inside has dried up and gone numb All the things I despised and tried not to become They're grinding me down Down to where I don't want to go Because I've been there before and I don't think that you want to know Know just how dark it can get When you live in your head and you feel like there's nothing left There are emotions that these kinds of things bring That I know I should feel but I can't feel a thing They're grinding me down Down to where I don't want to go Because I've been there before and I don't think that you want to know Know just how dark it can get When you live in your head and you feel like there's nothing left

You couldn't breathe, I saw you choking I said "I quit", you caught me smoking After the stroke we all were hoping Now you're buried in Hoboken You better be joking It's hard not having you around And it's hard just like the ground Where you were buried in the cemetery And I'm looking for someone who can relate Now I have to try my hardest Every time I'm in that apartment To remember where my heart is Because it's with the dearly departed You better be joking It's hard not having you around And it's hard just like the ground Where you were buried in the cemetery And I'm looking for someone who can relate You better be joking

How's it feel to know you'll be alone again? You're settling for less And how's it feel to know I'll never be your friend? Always giving your second best Time to let it go, admit it's over And quit holding on Take a few steps back, admit when you're wrong And quit holding on I've got your number You won't get one over on me I'm gonna teach you some responsibility You don't know me, you don't know yourself You're not in a position to judge anybody else I won't be nice, I don't respect, I want to know How's it feel to know you'll be alone again? You're settling for less And how's it feel to know I'll never be your friend? Always giving your second best Time to let it go, admit it's over And quit holding on Take a few steps back, admit when you're wrong And quit holding on I've got your number You won't get one over on me I'm gonna teach you some accountability You don't know me, you don't know yourself You're not in a position to judge anybody else I won't be nice, I don't respect, I want to know Why'd you abandon your own show? You won't be sucking any blood from me Or getting any pass for free A fucking parasite, a leech, a bug You're little like a tick, an ant or flea You're small just like a tick, an ant or flea You're just a fucking insect to me

Sometimes I can't sit still Vertigo increases, feeling weak Am I ok? Outlines that seem to fill creeping up behind the wheel I think Am I insane? Lurking beyond my field seeping through my windows still I think I'm near the brink It all seems so unreal pulsing through my being and I shake I try to shake Sometimes I try to steal a normal train of thought back from myself (I can't shake, I can't shake it free) Getting the best of me, stabbing unrelenting 'til I break I start to sink My brain is floating, brain is floating You know I can't control it My my my brain is floating, brain is floating and I'm eroding

Sucker Punch 02:12
I'm being pulled in every direction I don't know where to go I've got a growing list of fears I think that you should know I'm being pulled in every direction I don't know what to do So many things left unsaid I want to say to you But I can't understand how it happens, but it happens Life is one long panic attack and series of recurring sucker punches I don't know if I'm a good man But I know i'm fucking trying And I don't know if I can make it If i can hold on, hold on one more time

20 years old you've got something to say 10 years pass will it be he same, oh yeah Will it be the same? All that time spent chasing you And those years spent wasting youth, oh yeah Well, do you feel the same? You'll never be young again You'll never recapture that old feeling When all of your friends are dead And you've given up on healing I'm feeling like circling the drain And I'm feeling like shit everyday I don't want to I don't need you I don't want to now 30 years old and you got nothing to say 15 years and it's been the same, oh yeah Has it been the same? All that time spent chasing you And those years spent wasting youth, oh yeah Well, do you feel the same? You'll never be young again You'll never recapture that old feeling When all of your friends are dead And you've given up on healing I'm feeling like circling the drain And I'm feeling like shit everyday I don't want to I don't need you I don't want to now I'm feeling like circling the drain And I'm feeling like shit everyday I don't want to I don't need you I don't want to now

Florida Days 02:07
I've been lying, I'm a piece of shit And now I'm crying over something that you won't admit Caught red-handed staring at the sun I'm counting down these Florida days one by one Swimming in the ocean has never felt so lonesome I can't believe this ends tonight Swimming in the ocean has never felt so lonesome I just want to hold you one last time I'm a liar, yeah I'm a piece of shit And now you're crying over something that I won't admit Caught red-handed staring at the sun I'm counting down these Florida days one by one Swimming in the ocean has never felt so lonesome I can't believe this ends tonight Swimming in the ocean has never felt so lonesome I just want to hold you one last time Called my Mom last night, she cried Your sister has been hospitalized I guess that's what happens when you threaten your life With sleeping pills and knives But that's no excuse for my lies Swimming in the ocean has never felt so lonesome I can't believe this ends tonight Swimming in the ocean has never felt so lonesome I just want to hold you one last time

Good For You 01:53
I listen close because I want to be sure That I'll never be like you or treat people so poor Looking down, you should be standing up Like you pretend to do but you don't give a fuck Have you ever heard anything so pretentious? Good for you You're not building up you're tearing down Standing on your higher ground I listen close because I want to be sure (Good for you) That I'll never be like you or treat people so poor (Good for you) Looking down, you should be standing up (Good for you) Like you pretend to do but you don't give a fuck Have you ever heard anything so pretentious? Good for you You're not building up you're tearing down Standing on your higher ground I listen close because I want to be sure (Good for you) That I'll never be like you or treat people so poor (Good for you) Looking down, you should be standing up (Good for you) Like you pretend to do but you don't give a fuck You're not building up you're tearing down Standing on your higher ground

I used to know a guy But then he changed his name He used to be my friend But now he's not the same It's a sign of the times, It's the way of the world That beats you down each day It's the conquer/divide, it's the blatant lies That makes a good man change I used to know a guy, until he took the bait Bought into all the lies, his heart is filled with hate I took a different path, we went our separate ways Now it's too little too late. I used to know a guy He used to be my friend But things are different now And this is how it ends It's a sign of the times, It's the way of the world That beats you down each day It's the conquer/divide, it's the blatant lies That makes a good man change I used to know a guy, until he took the bait Bought into all the lies, his heart is filled with hate I took a different path, we went our separate ways Now it's too little too late.

The twitch starts in my nose, my eyes explode I try holding it in so that nobody knows I didn't do what I could, I didn't go out of my way It never quite sinks in and the world turns anyway The light at the end of the tunnel is just an oncoming train I hold it in
