Punk Friday Night
02:33
|

And it feels like a punk friday night anarchy.
And I know that no one else here feels the same as me.
There are cracks in the pavement
and they are five miles long
and it feels like a smoke bombs gone off in my lungs have I done something wrong
No.
You're just a virgin to insanity.
You're just a virgin to insanity.
You're just a virgin to insanity, just like me.
And it feels like I'm stuck in a punk friday night anarchy,
and I know that no one else here feels the same as me.
They're correcting the placement.
Of the Art on the walls,
and it won't be our fault when we wake in the morning and find all our artwork is suddenly gone.
You're just a virgin to insanity.
You're just a virgin to insanity.
You're just a virgin to insanity, just like me.
It never has occurred to me about fighting pro-longevity.
What's ever left inside of me is now tearing down these walls.
And an enemy was a friend to me but was never mine at all.
And you'll never see the gravity that's holding you and me, no.
You're just a virgin to insanity.
You're just a virgin to insanity.
You're just a virgin to insanity, just like me.

Morbid

Here we go again I'm getting out of bed and you're still missing
Bombs are dropping on my head, alarms are ringing, brains are screaming
I just wish that I was dead, your voice is ringing in my head
Thought again that I was dreaming, this whole time I was just sleeping
Life just seems to be less pleasing, without you my brain is screaming
I just wish that I was dead your voice keeps playing in my head
Won't you please let me die
Won't you please let me die
Won't you please let me die
Waiting my whole damn life
Doc he said my brain was bleeding, heart is black and it stopped beating
Overdosed and I'm not eating, why the fuck am I still breathing
I just wish that I was dead the voice keeps playing in my head
Take a minute take a week, take a bat and beat me please
Here you go I'm on my knees and I swear you won't feel a thing
I just wish that I was dead the voice keeps playing in my head
Won't you please let me die
Won't you please let me die
Won't you please let me die
Waiting my whole damn life

Black Cat
02:34
|

|
Hey baby, I thought the bills were paid, the powers out and there's a black cat coming my way
The drowning silence and then I realize it's just distractions keeping me awake
Hey baby, I don't know what to say it's just an unprecedented day
Hey baby, won't you come my way, cuz I would like to see your face
Have you ever felt the weight of your failure dragging you around
Only to be reminded that your car is out of gas and you're living on the outskirts town
Hey baby, I don't know what to say it's just an unprecedented day
Hey baby, won't you come my way, cuz I would like to see your face
When you're yelling for help and the only reprieve is the wringing in your ears
When you're yelling for help
Hey baby, I don't know what to say it's just an unprecedented day
Hey baby, won't you come my way, cuz I would like to see your face

Florida Man
03:13
|

|
Florida has a way of scaring me to death, from the sick tattoo to the markings on your chest
Florida has a way of giving me the creeps, from the people lining up with their signs on the god damned streets
Florida has a way of making life seem sweet, with the line in the sand and the water at your feet
Florida has a way of making people bleed, whether it's deep in your soul or a shark bite on the beach
Please O' please give me something to eat, I've only got a dollar and I hardly have feet,
Please O' please won't you understand what the fuck kind of country are we living in
Florida hey florida
Florida hey florida
Florida hey florida you're high
Florida has a way of giving me the blues, when there's beer in the cooler and you don't even need your shoes
Florida has a way of letting things just die, from the music in your soul and the fire in your eyes
Florida's got a way of selling it's goodbye's, from the time spent on the sidewalks planning out our lives
Florida has a way of tearing us apart, from the miles on your car to the miles on my heart

Horacio
02:30

You should never turn your head before the fight, you'll never see it coming before the blow
You'll never seen it coming with your head inside the oven, it should have been Horacio
The memories of the dead are always here, you're encouraged to live your life without a care
These waters are unfair, you'll never be prepared, it should have been Horacio
He can see inside your dreams, and reality isn't always what it seems
He sleeps with his eyes open
Horacio
You can run and you can hide behind the blinds, you'll never find a safer place to be
You'll never see is coming when Columbus kicks the bucket
It should have been Horacio
Mr. Foo was the kung foo king, and he couldn't make the lettering. on a message in a bottle that was floating down below
It should have been Horacio

Grounded

Are you grounded what be the look in your eyes,
Have you found anything of relief from this miserable life,
I don't think so
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya ya ya yo
There are so many things you can do with two feet on the ground why would you want to fly
Spend all your time with one eye looking for beginnings a good way to let all your time slip away
Party people getting by with a frown in the mirror of a party god mirror what you're looking for
Therein lies the big blue whale and the elephant in the room
Are you grounded what be the look in your eyes,
Have you found anything of relief from this miserable life,
I don't think so
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya ya ya yo
Reaching to high can leave your organs exposed but it won't keep the demons at bay
You can dance by yourself in gloom of a darkened doorway but never in the light of the day
Departed people getting by with a frown in the mirror of a party god mirror what you're looking for
Therein lies the big blue whale and the elephant in the room
Are you grounded what be the look in your eyes,
Have you found anything of relief from this miserable life,
I don't think so
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya ya ya yo

Bury Me At Sea
03:08
|
|||
|
I've been floating on this current twenty years or so, I guess you could say going with the flow
No direction in mind, not a penny to my name, I guess that sounds cliche
There's a place on the ocean I've been trying to reach about as far from the land as a man can be
I've dreamt about a land where the food was free and the whiskey was for me
But it's not so long ago or far away when life lost it's lasting love for me
Took that love and locked it all away, until it heard me say
I give up, give me a job, I'll sell my soul for what it's worth
Put me in my place but bury me at sea
When life's done with me just bury me at sea
There's a ship up ahead come to rescue me but it's not quite the raft that I'd hoped it be
So I hold my breath and I watch while it passes over me
There are mines in the water where the wreckage floats and a daring man goes to meet his ghost
A man like me can just float on through another tragedy
But it's not so long ago or far away when life lost it's lasting love for me
Took that love and locked it all away, until it heard me say
I give up, give me a job, I'll sell my soul for what it's worth
Put me in my place but bury me at sea
When life's done with me just bury me at sea

GF

Hey girlfriend, come and see me some time and I'll make you happy for the rest of time
You'll see that, love is truly meant to be of two hearts as one but you won't see
You cannot see the love I have is true and you can not see for the life of me
You will not see the love I have so true and the love you don't have for me
Hey girlfriend, I can see your smile and it makes me happy if only for a while
You'll see that love is only made in dreams of two hearts as one, but you won't see because
You will not see the love I have so true and you will not see for the life of me
You will not see the love I have so true and the love you don't have for me

Scared In Defense

Scared in defense, you're a mother lover and we know it to be true
It will break you in two
Leaving half of me and half for you
I told you long ago I didn't have the answers
When you're wrestling a masterpiece, will you break it down for me
Well I don't know
I guess you've heard I died and I'm coming for you all
Will you comprehend
Well that's all the time I had to marry you
Scared in defense, you're a mother lover and we know it to be true
It will break you in two
Leaving half of me and half for you
I told you you can not come stand next to me
When you're wrestling a masterpiece
You have found yourself in an awful mess indeed
I'm not the one, you can put your faith into
Will you comprehend
Will you be able to to comprehend
Scared in defense, you're a mother lover and we know it to be true
It will break you in two
Leaving half of me and half for you

When I woke up this morning the rain was pouring down
In the middle of January in this quiet mountain town
I glanced to my left and looked to my right but your smile it was missing it vanished from my life
Just like the train goes on without me
Just like the rain will surely drown me
Just like the way they have found me
Just like the pain of how you doubt me
Go on
If I could take it back, if I could make it right
Girl I would let you lie to me for the rest of all our lives
You know that that sounds wrong but you know that I am right
So I'll just let you leave me here on this warm winter night
Just like the train goes on without me
Just like the rain will surely drown me
Just like the way they have found me
Just like the pain of how you doubt me
Go on
I know what I've done wrong, I know that I can't fight
Girl if I could see your smile everything would be alright
The road is flooded out and the bridge has been pulled down
Darling I'm gonna have to find myself another way around
Just like the train goes on without me
Just like the rain will surely drown me
Just like the way they have found me
Just like the pain of how you doubt me
Go on

From the shadows came the voices, a symphony of broken choices, a lie
Held deep inside of your
Memories are all but fleeting, a broken heart but it's still beating, inside
Left on the edge to die
The rain came pouring down, over our restless heads
She's counting suicides, we're all bleeding to death
Dark clouds fill up the sky, her voice still burns my mind
She's dealing death tonight, we're running for our lives
