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.

Teenage Amnesia
02:07

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?

The Gold Rush

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

Bartending The Funeral
01:51

|
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

Brain Is Floating
02:36
|

|
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

Circling The Drain
03:02

|
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

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

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.

Holding It In
02:12
|
|||
|
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
