First Crush
02:19
|
|

(v1)
What is t about you I can't get out of my head?
What is it about you that keeps me awake in my bed?
What drives me so mad is something I've never had
What makes me so sad is thinking it might not happen.
(Chorus)
You're always on my mind
and now I can't sleep at night
You're always in my head
It feels like my First Crush again.
(v2)
You drive me crazy in the best/worst way
it's quite enslaving, but I don't want to get away
My hands are tied, but I still want to hold you
and even if I tried I couldn't stop wanting you.
(chorus)

Nosebleed

(v1)
I'm just another silver medal
you can put the pedal to the metal
you expediate my broken heart
I enjoy the ride because I lose before I start.
(v2)
At best I'm tarnished silver
at worst I'm nothing at all
Do you mind slowing down?
cause we're going full throttle into a wall.
(chorus)
I'm the toy at the bottom of your chest
blow off the dust and let's regress
back to a time where we had such joy
just another night with your last resort boy.
(v3)
I know I shouldn't piss and moan
but how many nights are spent by the phone?
I can't help but be annoyed that I'm always
your last resort boy
(chorus)
(breakdown)

It comes as no surprise that it means nothing to you
It is at high appeal to be home with nothing to do.
(Chorus)
Well the world is out there waiting
you've got to create and not expect
nothing will approach you
you've gotta get in their face instead.
(v2)
Well the world is constantly turning as you continue to sit and spin
In ten years you will wonder where everybody went.
(chorus)
(bridge)
I am a lonely bullet in the chamber
I used to be a fully loaded gun
but somewhere along the lines I was shot down
now I wonder where my ambition has gone.

(intro)
I trusted my pencil in the dark
to write the words coming from my heart
but the words ran together and I forgot what I wanted to say.
(v1)
I wish I wrote that letter wrong
but you'll be married before long
we said I love you
and I said goodbye.
(chorus)
I never had you but I lost you.
I never knew you but I love you.
It's 3 AM. and I can't sleep. Because I know..
You're gone.

Failure on the Run
01:12
|
|
||
His head is in the gutter and his only friend is in his hand.
Thinks back to days of thunder and wonders what went wrong.
he's stuck in a rut of internet porn and smut
cause minimum wage just can't afford those corner whores.
He left his ambitions in a jar that he lost 4 years ago.
He was gonna go far but he started out a little slow.
He's down in the basement looking for a replacement
for his trashy life of anger and resent.
Left his lover in a car with a bullet in her head.
Pushed it in the lake and has been on the run ever since.
He said "I can't believe you felt sorry for me
you judged me before you ever heard my story".

Hypocrite
02:07
|
|
||
I don't wanna see your face or hear your voice around this place again
your voice is the sound of a bullet piercing someones head
You're a semen stain that won't come out of your mothers sheets
so slit your wrist and shave your head and call yourself a marine.
(chorus)
I don't see a place in my life for you anymore
you became what you set out to destroy.
you can call yourself a man till your voice gets sore
but inside you're just a little girl who wants to be a
HEY.
(v2)
Don't wana smell your breath or hear your voice within the air I breathe
don't wana hear what I should do or what I should believe.
The knife you hide behind is the knife that stabs you in the back
and the life you claim to have is the life that you lack.

Maybe Next Year
03:43

|

(v1)
365 days of pure insanity.
Where did it all go? Wouldn't you like to know?
Should I tell you all of the places I'd rather be?
Anywhere but here, all I can keep thinking is
Maybe Next Year.
(v2)
Another night of fights and pointless attempts at remedy.
Crying the night away, when you don't listen to a word I say.
Why should I tell you all of the things you wanna hear?
You never did for me my dear
maybe tomorrow, maybe today
(chorus)
Maybe Next Year, Maybe things will get better
maybe thoughts won't keep me up till 3 AM
Maybe Next Year, maybe days will get shorter
maybe you'll be there to give a damn
Maybe Next Year.
(v3)
We let go of the wheel and we crashed into the Earth.
I just want to hear those 3 words, is that so absurd?
The things you say are what I want and what I fear
I said "take me here", all you could keep saying was
(chorus)
(post-chorus)
Maybe things won't be so bad.
Maybe Next Year, there'll be no turning back.
(bridge)
What if it doesn't go away?
What if it doesn't go away?
What if HE doesn't go away?
What if he doesn't go away?
Maybe Next Year
Maybe things'll get better
maybe he will finally go away
maybe next year.

Half-Way Written
03:13
|
|
||
(v1)
So I've been told that I should never change.
But then I'm told that I am ridiculous and strange.
(prechorus)
my mind is quite like a Half Way Written song
Verse, chorus, verse and then the solo goes all wrong.
(chorus)
I am a catalogue of long lost parodies.
I am an atom bomb of doubt and uncertainty.
I am locked out of where common sense is the key.
I am the definition of instability.
(v2)
So I was frowned upon for for having a mind of my own.
So I was thrown in a ward that felt so much like home
(prechorus)
(chorus)
(solo)
(breakdown/chorus)

(v1)
I wasn't worth the money, I wasn't worth the love I give
I wasn't worth security, I wasn't worth the gifts I gave to you
I wasn't worth our dream home, I wasn't worth the car
I wasn't worth the promises to never break your heart.
So let me ask you, what was I worth to you?
(v2)
I wasn't worth the chemistry, I wasn't worth my kiss
I wasn't worth breakfast in bed when you were sick.
I wasn't worth a phone call, I wasn't worth the real good sex
I wasn't even being missed, now I'm not even worth a text
now let me tell you, what you mean to me.
(v3)
Everything. You were Everything.
You were my whole world.
you were my best girl.
You made me smile.
you made me think
I was so sure that I finally found the girl for me.
(v4)
I wasn't worth the future. I wasn't worth the time.
I wasn't worth the loyalty, no I wasn't worth a try
but you were Everything.
You were Everything
you're still Everything
you were Everything.

(chorus)
Maybe Next Year
Maybe Memphis
but Dover doesn't look so bad.
Maybe I'm bored.
Maybe I miss you
But would leaving really be so bad?
(v1)
I never meant to hurt you
it just always ends (up) this way
we all say things we don't mean to
i just wish I never ran away
(v2)
But in the end, I'm always with you
You never had to ask me to stay
We know something that they don't go through
In my head, I'm 3,000 miles away.
You know a postcard would be nice?
I thought you might have cared.
I wanted to tell you that I loved you
I did once, but since I've never dared.
(chorus)
(v3)
I haven't seen you in so long
what's been good? What's gone wrong?
How's your boyfriend? How's your dad?
You know I didn't mean to make him mad.
(v4)
You know I wrote another song?
The last one felt all wrong.
This one's about you, too.
And the stupid shit we used to do.
(bridge)
It feels like forever since those texts at 3am
saying that you can't sleep again.
(chorus)
I haven't seen you in so long.
What's been good? What's gone wrong?
How's your husband? How's your dad?
You know I didn't mean to make him mad.
(v4)
(bridge extended)
It feels like forever since those texts at 3am.
Saying you can't sleep again.
I forget about some as time moves on
most are there and then they're gone.
but you'll always be there at 3am
I always have somewhere to go
- Whoas-
(Chorus)
(outro)
x You've been there through it all.
x You've been there for it all.
x I don't know what I mean to you.
x But I can't explain what you mean to me.

You're Not Beautiful

(intro)
It's the new year. It's the new year.
It's the new year and he has finally gone away.
And so have you.
(v1)
And I've never been happier to be left the fuck alone
cause I'm doing so much better now that you're gone
I thought you were the girl for me, I thought you were my First Crush
but all you ever turned out to be was a fire-breathing succubus.
(v2)
When you found out I was alive, I bet that took you for a spin
turns out I can live without you and your sick dose of heroin
you came to spit on my grave, but instead I spit in your face
I moved on with my life and you stayed in the same place
(prechorus)
and I know how much you hate it
that you're gone and I still made it
would you like to know my secret?
I bet you never would believe it.
(chorus)
You're Not Beautiful anymore.
You're Not Beautiful anymore.
You're Not Beautiful anymore.
You're not Beautiful anymore.
(v3)
I gave you my affection, and you gave me a disease
you tried to break me for good but I held onto every piece.
You should've killed me when you had the chance
but you went about all this all wrong.
Now I grin at you because I know what you'll be missing out on.

Succubus
02:30
|
|
||
(v1)I feel much better now
Now that she's walking out the door
She was my "kind of" girl
turns out she "kind of" was a chore
I fell in love with her
but never fell for any of her lies
Cause it was obvious
she was wearing a disguise.
(v2)I feel so dangerous now
Now that she's can't control my mind
it's so outrageous how
the world looks through your own eyes
It's much more beautiful
When ugly hearted people
don't fog up your sight
and I feel victorious:
I kissed a Succubus and survived.
(Chorus)She made me sick, so I made her a fool
I never told her what made me fall in love with her
A quality personality nowhere to be found
I may have said forever, but I never said you'd be around.
(v3)I feel so lucky now
Seeing the bullet that I've dodged
