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

peices of fiction

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

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.

Текст песни:

Hello six pack of confidence
Been so many nights
since we first met
Glad to see you′ve brought
all your friends
For another night of
plastic cup politics

Hello Mr. Six Pack of confidence
I′m glad to see you′ve already met
Ms. Twelve ounces of loneliness
And Mr. Plastic cup politics
I see you′re under the influence
Of warm beer and the comfort of
all your friends
And I see that Mr. Loud Mouth
has had his forty ounce
And will pass out
I have no doubt
So drop your plastic cup and
clear your clouded heads

I keep asking myself if they realize
That their fears are really just the
same as mine

Do they know all their insecurities
Are the same ones that are inside of me
As people come and go
Do they know they′re really not alone?
And the life of the party just left
I guess I couldn′t cure his emptiness
Like all the rest
So drop your plastic cups and clear
your clouded heads

Here we are, another wasted night and
I am right along side
of forty sets of bloodshot eyes
And plastic smiles miles wide match
plastic cups we′ll leave behind

It′s just another night of
plastic cup politics
So drop your empty cups and clear
your clouded heads

@ Less Than Jake

Текст песни:

I′ve come to my senses,
That I′ve become senseless,
I could give you lessons on how to ruin your friendships,
Every last conviction, I smoked them all away,
I drank my frustrations down the drain, out of the way,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
Someone so tired of their routines and disappearing self-esteems,

[Chorus:]
I′ll sing along,
Yeah with every emergency,
Just sing along,
I′m the king of catastrophies,
I′m so far gone,
That deep down inside I think it′s fine by me,
I′m my own worst enemy

I could be an expert on co-dependency,
I could write the best book on underage tragedy,
I′ve been spending my time at the local liquor store,
I′ve been sleeping nightly on my best friends kitchen floor,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
I′m so over-dosed on apathy and burnt out on sympathy.

[Chorus]

Let the meaning slip away
Lost my faith in another day,
Self deprication seems okay,
I never thought I′d make it anyway

[Chorus]

I′m my own worst enemy [x5]

Текст песни:

Give me some religion, pass the wine
Because this time I can′t hold it in
Like I always did
Give me some more TV, make it loud
Make believe, I′m in desperate need
For some company
Attention, this is not a test, help me get this moving target off my chest
From my closest friends
Save me from this recklessness
Talk some sense into this head
And I′ll stop this endless S.O.S

Treading water with weights around my neck
A shipwreck of reckless accidents
Overboard and I′m about to quit
Head first, high dive in this deep end
Abandon ship, because it′s sinking way too quick

Give me some forgiveness, and I′ll try
Because this time if I pull the pin, I′ll be blown to bits
Give me some more music, I′ll sit and read the lyrics
Like a bible, a gospel, I′ll sing along
Attention, this is not a test, help me swim to shore before unconsciousness
My hands feel like they′re made of bricks
Save me from this hopelessness, talk some sense into this head
And I′ll stop this endless S.O.S

I can′t listen to all the reasons
I just need one more thing to believe in
The one thing that will keep me breathing
I′ll kiss the dirt when I hit dry land
