Текст песни:

Get yourself ready,
Hold your hand steady
Cause it′s shaking from all this waiting.
Fingers bent your fist starts to clench,
As the pen signs the check today for the rent.
Dollars and cents, are not making sense.
We can tell em′ all to go to hell. (tell them all go to hell)

Give em′ our conviction notice.

Na na na na, Na na na na.
Give em′ our conviction notice.
Na na na na, Na na na na.
Give em′ our conviction notice.
Na na na na, Na na na na.
Give em′ our conviction notice.
Na na na na, Na na na na.
Tell them all to go to hell.

Get yourself ready,
Hold your hand steady
Cause it′s shaking from all this waiting.
Fingers bent your fist starts to clench,
As the pen signs the check today for the rent.
Dollars and cents, are not making sense.
We can tell em′ all to go to hell. (tell them all go to hell)

Give em′ our conviction notice.

Welcome to a place where rent meets debt,
It feels like a price on your head.
Money can′t buy happiness ,
But it sure can pay the rent.
We always try to buy a better life,
I think we may have over spent.
Mixing pride and dollar signs,
Is easier said than done.

Na na na na, Na na na na.
Give em′ our conviction notice.
Na na na na, Na na na na.
Give em′ our conviction notice.
Na na na na, Na na na na.
Give em′ our conviction notice.
Na na na na, Na na na na.
Tell them all to go to hell.

Na na na na, Na na na na.
Give em′ our conviction notice.
Na na na na, Na na na na.
Give em′ our conviction notice.

Give em′ our conviction notice.
Tell them all to go to hell.

Текст песни:

[Roger:]
So you say, all your white flags are up and that you′ve had enough and that you were tired of
collecting dust, you say everything always looks the same and you made your brand new face to match
your brand new place, you say all your distress calls have gone out and your ship is going down

[Pre-chorus]
[Chris:]
Well I say it to myself all the time,
"Stop living half and a life and stop feeling like I′m half alive."

[Chorus]
[Roger:]
I can′t get enough, I′m not satisfied, I′ve wasted my time with this daily grind, in single file
line, is this real life, I′ve been telling myself sometimes, what matters is on the inside.

[Roger:]
Do you remember when we had all the answers, and can you really remember when we wished for anything
better, just to feel like it′s been forever, does it feel like a broken record, a head full of
yesterdays, you keep wishing your life away, you can′t keep looking over you own shoulder, things′ll
never look up unless you start to move forward.

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

[Chorus 2]
[Roger:]
I can′t get enough, I′m not satisfied, I′ve wasted my time with this daily grind, I can′t get
enough, I′m just getting by, I can′t stand this design for our bitter lives, I keep feeling lost and
I′m not satisfied with traffic and turnpikes and these tired eyes

[Chorus]

Текст песни:

Calling all mothers and fathers,
Come get your sons and daughters.
Right now they′re on corners,
Finding ways to cure their boredom.
I′m sitting right here with them,
Waiting on those prescriptions.
Like it′s our only mission.

Silver flasks and zip lock bags.
Vacant eyes and sweaty hands.
Cut in thirds then cut in half.
Money to monsters, exchanging hands.

Calling all mothers and fathers,
Come get your sons and daughters.
Right now they′re feeling awkward,
Pills and powders in their lockers.
I′m standing right here with them,
Waiting on the voice of reason.
Glass pipes and tunnel vision.

Silver flasks and zip lock bags.
Vacant eyes and sweaty hands.
Cut in thirds then cut in half.
Money to monsters, exchanging hands.

Please excuse me while I sober up,
Hard to tell when you′ve taken enough

Silver flasks and zip lock bags.
Vacant eyes and sweaty hands.
Cut in thirds then cut in half.
Money to monsters, exchanging hands.

(aaa)
Giving′ money to monsters, money to monsters.
(aaa)
Giving money to monsters, summoning monsters.

Текст песни:

When is common sense too much to ask?
And then when did consequences get left in the past
Is it just bad habits or a typical script
Is it all big plans then a swing and a miss
Can say my influence become by design
Or is science and cigarettes my compromise
I don′t know by I′m blamed everyone else
Just as long as I never put the blame on myself

Cause I know, I′ve wasted way too many times
Living way too many lies
How can this be my fault, I′m always right
There′s a devil in my DNA
Programmed parts from all the start
Or is there no one else to blame?
For my tangled up gears and my turnstile jobs
Fact is I′m just a living son of all my parts

When do instruments come with a catch?
And when is self-destruction just proven as a fact?
Is it blind faith or the family name?
Is it all by chance or completely ingrained?
Can I say it′s an imbalance of the chemical kind
Or is my environment that becomes my only disguise
I don′t know but I′m blaming everyone else
Just as long as I never put the blame on myself

Cause I know, I′ve wasted way too many times
Living way too many lies
How can this be my fault, I′m always right
There′s a devil in my DNA
Programmed parts from all the start
Or is there no one else to blame?
For my tangled up gears and my turnstile jobs
Fact is I′m just a living son of all my parts

Cause I know, I′ve wasted way too many times
Living way too many lies
How can this be my fault, I′m always right
There′s a devil in my DNA
Programmed parts from all the start
Or is there no one else to blame?
For my tangled up gears and my turnstile jobs
Every one of five fears and for my fatal flaws
Everything that I′ve had and haven′t all chased
Cause you know there′s a devil in my DNA

Текст песни:

There′s a black cloud over this house
That′s been around for 3 years now
There′s a thunderstorm inside
And it won′t go away

That′s why they call it a union
That′s why they call it a union
So both of you please forgive me tonight
That′s why they call it a union
So please forgive me tonight

I remember him turning around
He said, "Son, I′ll be leaving now,
I can′t be the person that you want me to be
And then she said, "So things aew finally ending now,
I knew you′d be walking out,
You can′t be the person that you want me to be."

3 years of all the arguments
3 years of all this silence
Has been enough to last me a lifetime
3 years of all the arguments
3 years of all this pain

That′s why they call it a union
That′s why they call it a union
So both of you please forgive me tonight
That′s why they call it a union
So please forgive me tonight

I can′t look at the pictures anymore
Because i know how it′s run its course
And i know hoe the story ends
I know it ends

There′s a black cloud over this house
That′s been around for 3 years now
There′s a thunderstorm inside,
And another fight tonight

There′s a black cloud over this house
That′s been around for 3 years now
There′s a thunderstorm tonight
And it won′t go away, no it won′t go away

@ Less Than Jake

Текст песни:

I’ll keep my faith alive
Cause this is paradise or parricide
I can’t believe this sight
Streets full of blank faces and junky eyes
The streets won’t sleep tonight
A lullaby for the half-alive
The city swings and whines
To the double crime of drugs and hard times

Lion city sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city sirens sing the night away
The city feels like a cage
Feels like a powder keg
That’s almost set to explode

Lion city’s begun to rot
It’s a matter of time until the roaring stops
The scene from the ground up
From the painted walls to the rooftops
My city’s closed and locked
While the hop of the beat crack our sidewalks
The haves and the have-nots
Paint the backdrops of drugs and gunshots

lion city sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city sirens sing the night away
There’s an overdose on me
And he does the cocaine shake
Cause the lion city sirens sing the night away

The city seems like it’s trapped
Between its future and its past
Life or death of a city not coming back
The city feels like a cage
Feels like a powder keg
And now it’s gonna explode

Lion city sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city sirens sing the night away
There’s an overdose on me
And it’s wearing out good things
Cause lion city sirens sing the night away
Sing the night away
Sing the night away
And I won’t be long

Текст песни:

Trying not to hold my breath
But my lungs are filled inside this chest
I′ve been helpless and I couldn′t have cared less
Of anything that could or has been said
In the future past and present tense

Been my own best friend
With clouds over my head
Been on this sinking ship
Decided that it′s sink or swim
The waters coming in
Foundations wearing thin
Sometimes I wonder if I′ll ever be missed
If I swim with the ship again

Trying not to hold my breath
But my lungs are filled inside this chest
I′ve been helpless and I couldn′t have cared less
Of anything that could or has been said
What those words mean or just what they meant
In the future past and present tense

Been my own best friend
With clouds over my head
Been on this sinking ship
Decided that it′s sink or swim
The waters coming in
Foundations wearing thin
Sometimes I wonder if I′ll ever be missed
If I swim with the ship
Giving up inch by inch

In twenty words or less
I′ll describe this mess
I′ve drank to forget,
Full of hopelessness
Never cared what they said
And I′m on this edge in crisis
And I couldn′t care less

Been my own best friend
With clouds over my head
Been on this sinking ship
Decided that it′s sink or swim
The waters coming in
Foundations wearing thin
Sometimes I wonder if I′ll ever be missed again

Been my own best friend
With clouds over my head
Been on this sinking ship
Decided that it′s sink or swim
The waters coming in
Foundations wearing thin
Sometimes I wonder if I′ll ever be missed
If I could swim with the ship
Giving up inch by inch
And I′ve lost my own best friend

Текст песни:

You told me that your 20 years have gone by much too fast
And you′ve been hoping this year will be better than the last
You said you′ve been waging a war against the loneliest of nights
With the strongest drinks and longest lines
It′s not that big of a surprise
That you′re feeling more dead than alive
You′re feeling more dead than alive

So I′ll let you know
If you need, somewhere to go
I′ll be listening when you call
And I′ll be there if you fall off
If you need someone to believe in you,
I′ll let you know I will

You said the hole in your head has gotten bigger than the hole that′s in your chest
And you′re stuck between the past and the present tense
You said you′ve been waging a war against so many years of lies
With stronger drinks and stronger lines
It′s not that big a surprise
That you′re feeling more dead than alive
You′re feeling more dead than alive

So I′ll let you know
If you need, somewhere to go
I′ll be listening when you call
And I′ll be there if you fall off
If you need someone to believe in,
I′ll let you know I will

Текст песни:

I could hear all the plans we had when the wind hits me just right
and i′m so sick of wanting all the things i′m haunted by
my sympathy goes to the oldest joke that′s survived another year
i wonder where i′m going from where i′m at i wonder why i′m still here.
the writing on the subway walls reminds me why your words don′t
console me anymore while i′m lying wide awake on my bedroom floor.
i′m the lucky one, i′m getting out of here this is my last chance to disappear.
i′m the lucky one, i′m getting out of here, i think i may freeze on the last
days of summertime. the local papers always opened up to obituaries
and engagements cause i keep track of all the fresh starts and he dying famous
and there′s a hate of second-hand smoke underneath the summer stars
along with conversations we had on this subway car. the writing on the subway
walls reminds me why your words don′t console me anymore while i′m lying
wide awake on my bedroom floor. i′m the lucky one, i′m getting out of here
this is my last chance to disappear, i′m the lucky one, i′m getting out of here,
i think i may freeze on the last days of summertime. remember when, when you said,
you said take these words and do what you want with them. the writing on the subway
walls reminds me why your words don′t console me anymore, while i′m lying wide awake
on my bedroom floor. i′m the lucky one, i′m getting out of here this is my last
chance to disappear. i′m the lucky one, i;m getting out of here, i think
i may freeze on the last days of summertime.

Текст песни:

So i will, i′ll be the one who′s coming clean
with ever single thing
and all my thoughts in between
i wonder if anyone is just like me
a walking talking catastrophe
another story of dependency
i neve thought the face in the mirror would be me

hey 911 to everyone [x3]
im in a state of emergancy

like a shot, a shot without a chaser
life′s in a flash it moves way to fast
the most bitter pill you′ve ever tasted
i wonder if anyone is just like me
a walking talking catastrophe
another story of dependency
i neve thought the face in the mirror would be me

im afraid of growing up and growing old
afriad of the past and present
and what my future might hold

hey 911 to everyone [x3]
im in a state of emergancy

hey 911 to everyone [x3]
im in a state of emergancy

Текст песни:

The cycle circles, stalls, then spins.
Describes the current state I′m in.
It′s like a nose dive then a crash,
With all my blackouts and scraped hands.
It′s in the words caught in my throat.
It′s in the how did I get home?
I′d like to sleep my life away.
But I′d just wake up years too late.

@ Less Than Jake

Текст песни:

Dear Mom and Dad,
I’ve been making plans
To leave this house and yes I’m sure
So lock the door, and turn the front porch lights out

After all the endless fights
The who’s been wrong and who’s been right
We just never saw eye to eye

So there’s no need to apologize
Don’t wait up, I’ll be fine
If you could see inside my head
Maybe you could understand
That I’m better off
I’m better off gone

Dear Mom and Dad,
I’ve been making plans
To leave your house and yes I’m sure
That nothing’s wrong, so just be strong on my way out

After all the endless nights
The who’s been wrong and who’s been right
We just never saw eye to eye

So there’s no need to apologize
Don’t wait up, I’ll be fine
If you could see inside my head
Maybe you could understand
That I’m better off gone
I’m better off gone ‘cause we don’t see eye to eye

@ Less Than Jake

Текст песни:

Maybe I′m jaded and bored
Always looking for more
Wait around for the next big fix
I know I′m a wreck, I′m a mess
But I couldn′t care less
Don′t know what it would take to change me

Everybody′s so afraid to be different
Please excuse me now if I don′t get it

I think sex is overrated
So is always getting wasted
Designer drugs and dead end jobs
And classic rock is so outdated
I′m so sick of therapy
And all the things you′ve done to me
How can I be satisfied?
When everything is overrated

Maybe the problem is me
But I won′t make believe
And I can′t take this mediocrity
What if this is a test?
And I deserve what I get?
Will I wake up with all the answers?

Everybody′s too afraid to be different
Please excuse me now if I don′t listen

I think sex is overrated
So is always getting wasted
Designer drugs and dead end jobs
And classic rock is so outdated
I′m so sick of therapy
And all the things you′ve done to me
How can I be satisfied?
When everything is overrated

(Woah, woah).
When everything is overrated.

Can′t stand the normal
Can′t stand the ordinary
Find me anything that′s extraordinary
Show me something
Show me anything
Am I the only one?

I think sex is overrated
So is always getting wasted
All my friends and family
They make my life so complicated
I′m so sick of apathy and TV show reality
How can I be satisfied?
When everything is overrated.

Woah, woah.
When everything is overrated.

Текст песни:

I fell asleep last Saturday
Underneath polluted skies
I walked alone on those Jersey nights, and I
Saw the boardwalk start to fall
The emptiness starts to drown
The quiet corners off this town, and I...
Late last night, I made my plans
It was the only thing I felt I could do
Said goodbye, to my best friend
Sometimes there′s no one left to tell you the truth

It′s gonna kill me: The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I′m still alive
I know it′s hard to face all of my past mistakes
It′s gonna kill me for the rest of my life

This is my all time low
Somehow it feels so familiar
Somehow it seems so familiar
I feel like letting go
And every second that goes by
I′m screaming out for a second try
Said goodbye, to my best friend
Sometimes there′s no one left to tell you the truth

It′s gonna kill me: The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I′m still alive
I know it′s hard to face all of my past mistakes
I′ve got to live with them rest of my life

This is the mess I′ve made
These are the words I can′t erase
This is my life support, shutting down, for the final time
And it twists like a braid
And kills me for the rest of my life

If you won′t forgive me
The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I′m still alive
I know it′s hard to face all of my past mistakes
It′s gonna kill me for the rest of my life...

Текст песни:

Frustration that I′ve been facing
I don′t remember how but I′ve lost motivation
I can′t stop this sinking feeling from creeping over me
I can′t stop myself seeing the darkness in front of me

It′s not that hard to just fall apart, fall apart.
It′s not that hard to just fall apart, I′m falling apart.
It′s not that hard to just fall apart, from the start.
It′s not that hard to just fall apart, I′m falling apart.

Repeating, I keep retreating,
I don′t remember how, but I lost all my meaning.
Can′t stop mistakes I′m making from hanging over me,
Can′t stop myself from facing the darkness in front of me.

It′s not that hard to just fall apart, fall apart.
It′s not that hard to just fall apart, I′m falling apart.
It′s not that hard to just fall apart, from the start.
It′s not that hard to just fall apart, I′m falling apart.

I remember when I′m reaching my breaking point,
Pressure pushing on me till I lost my voice,
I don′t think I ever had a choice,
With this every day decay and destroy.

It′s not that hard to just fall apart, fall apart.
It′s not that hard to just fall apart, I′m falling apart.
It′s not that hard to just fall apart, from the start.
It′s not that hard to just fall apart, I′m falling apart.
