"The Kids Are All Wrong"

"The Kids Are All Wrong"


Def, watching cars
And focus on one 'till it's gone
Heroes die off everyday
Like fathers that would never stay

The kids are all wrong
The kids are all wrong
They're full of their hopeless opinions
The kids are all wrong
The kids are all wrong
That's all i ever really learned

"The Worst"

"The Worst"


How does it start?
When does it end?
Blood and love graces everyone
You only want to touch it once

He didn't give it up
She wasn't long enough
They didn't save your falling smile
He never had a chance

But there it is
You're finally blessed
And you can't handle it

The worst

What did it say?
All you really need is love
But you're gonna make those fuckers pay
You're gonna hurt someone

That's all there really is
The ones that don't survive
They lied to you a thousand times
And you're starving heart has died

But there it is
You're finally blessed

Failure, failure, failure
A cement frown breaking
Allows a straight line blown away
It fell at thirteen

You're wide awake
Hours blind every winding curve
You start the fall from grace

The worst

You never had a chance

But here it is
You're finally blessed

"To All My Friends"

"To All My Friends"


Here's a song to all my friends
I know they'd like
I remember every drunken night at the old dive

Driving the old wreck
Trying to make it home somehow
One more pit stop at our favorite watering hole

The ghost of Christmas past
Swallowed all our pride
We'd opened up our story books
And water down the eyes

Our demons raise their glasses singing
"I propose a toast
to all my friends"
Who's buying the next round

Cup half empty Cup half full
Perspectives and beers
They weren't failures
Just the regulars of my favorite year

They come and go
Paying their toll
From mobile homes
Decaying old unsound minds
The ghost of Christmas future
dancing
To the click of time
The beating of defeat
Shaking in his hands
A lifetime of retreat
And his regrets were ours
A time to say good-bye

I've been waiting so long
for you to call
my old friend

To all my friends
To all my friends
To all my friends
To all my friends
To all my friends
To all my friends

"Today"

"Today"


As you expect here as the keys
So come and go as you please
What's mine seems to be yours
Welcome to my drawers

Today I heard them say a funny thing
They were happy you were clean
You were headed for success
in the mountains of excess

Today you fail them
Tomorrow more
Maybe I'll lend you some more cash
Don't have to play it back
I can depend on you
Dependent on everyone
Why am I guilty of my bending back
Over to breaking
The object
of some desire

Too late
Too late
Today I'm saving you

I must have finished my last care
with that beer
With some ideal
I might win while losing
That's some mentality I have
to finish talking
I'm finished talking

Today I heard a funny thing
They were happy you were clean
And you won't be looking back
to the one that helped you pack

"Tomorrow Is Heartbreak"

"Tomorrow Is Heartbreak"


Bitter X it must feel better
Holding that grudge
It's a feeling so familiar
Not unlike love
Unrequited she's scarred in hatred

Yesterday's moving
Yesterday's moving
It's easier to locate
A better nest
Tell them you never lived in such a mess

Emily at her best in black
Reminds them all to stand back
At a distance they won't notice the act
All that she lacks You can see up close she's bitter
Remembering wasted dinners
Can't expect the creep to stay long
But he's not the one who pissed her off

Today is denial
Today is denial
It's easier if she won't
See him again
He's just another trip best forgotten

Emily may be odd
But she always gets even

It's not unlike love
Emily will find him again
Another short-term boyfriend
Emily, you'll always be alone

Tomorrow is heartbreak
Tomorrow is heartbreak
So bitter X I'm sorry
Sorry I bit that hook
I'm just a bad cliché in your black book

"Tragic Vision"

"Tragic Vision"


In this faltering nation
the future belongs
to the children in school
There's something wrong
Sixth grader on crack
Handgun overflowing in his hands
Now he is just further demand
We search for the source
and still that child is left watching
Inhumanity, bloodshed
as the tele-violence feeds his head

[Chorus:]
Only if he knew
the consequence of greed
A contious state of mind
T.V. is not reality
Never a victim the role model said
Bang bang, the bad guy is dead
Always a rockstar on eMpty T.V.
The lesson complete
Now the child has needs
Of competition they bleed
Oh beautiful for bills of green
Nevermind spacious skies overhead
Bleed the earth and butter your bread

[Repeat Chorus]

Child turns on T.V.
What does he see?
Nature of man, dishonesty
That child grows old
Story be told
as he sits behind bars
and his soul grows cold

"Train"

"Train"


My inspiration note
the sympathy
They've taken everything you want and they
left you all alone

My setting sun, self appointed,
I am a fraud
You are the martyr
It's decided and I owe you several worlds
I can tell you...

Rat in the sewer, scraps they left behind
Once their visionary, and they all have robbed you blind
Your broken records playing for
None fabricate song
Amputated creative tongue
You sing on and on and on
I can tell you why

I'm bringing you down,
calling you out,
taking your shield
It's easier now
Years have been kind
Distance between
has given hind sight
I jumped a train

Your tragedy so easy to read,
is bitter envy
They're reaping all the lowly benefits
You missed the train they stole
and you've never...

I'm burning you down,
calling you out,
taking your shield
It's easier now
Years have been kind
Distance between has given hind sight
I'm on a train.

"Truth And Justice"

"Truth And Justice"


Yeah
Truth and justice
And I can't wait for we have to know the truth
And what they say is justice
What we see
All lies, it's justice, a bullet in your fucking face

And you believe in the system, believe this whole fraud, the media's lies, the
evening you're loaded from within the day, what have you seen, the empty
street, that thing, I can't propel it, probably I will, what is right, truth
and justice?
And I can't wait, where's the fucking truth?
And what they say is justice
What we see
All lies, it's justice, what do you believe, the people always look away
Their interest strapped to decay
And the people always come on fast
Knocked and stole neighbor's cash
Fuck justice
Justice [x2]

Between a lie and your cardboard are your interests, you're to weak to strike,
the fucked up incest, the woman in the other street liked them again, can we
still burn up before our dying countrys

Justice, justice, justice, justice

"Twenty-Seven"

"Twenty-Seven"


Hope you didn't mind when I saw you

Turn into nothing less
Than nothing new
Before you wait to sleep it off

How little is enough
What can you do
Before you decide to make
The last mistake
Withdraw
Away from us
And say goodbye
To all but one that takes you
Put you to rest

On twenty-seventh street nothing will keep you warm
Everything brings you harm
Everything here fails you
Now lying on your feet everyone nails you
Everyone worships you
Everyone here fails you
I can figure it out and it's all about to

Turn into lack of wit on sinking ships
I might have jumped but you jumped first
Abandoned ties that bind
There's no salvation here
I surely mist the times when we were so depressed
No I miss you
No I miss you
And you are missing something

You take a rip and then you
Find sedation some salvation
A masochistic only point of view
Nothing is left of you
Everyone speaks the truth
Everyone here fails me

Hope you didn't mind when I saw you

"Unfurnished"

"Unfurnished"


The TV's broke
Her cheeks are soaked
The drink is empty
And now he is everything she hates
Her lowest day
It's all the same
It's all the same
This house is drowning in inevitable silence

And it's always been on
In another born sick love
Never made her question right or wrong
In a sea of failure he's numb

Upstairs discussed
Small words cut through what once was their trust
And then he gots everything he wants
Silent treatment
She's out of breath
There's no one left around
He will have regret when there is nothing left to say

And it's alway been on
In another born sick love
Never made him question right or wrong
In a sea of failure he's numb

It's already killed me
That's already killed me
It's already been there
That's nothing new
I overdosed I dug an hole
I buried them and died with you
In a sea of failure and I am numb
