"Mr. Chevy Celebrity"

"Mr. Chevy Celebrity"

Well I thought all my friends were sane
then I met this kid in the fourth grade
"let's go throw rocks through the neighbor's windows"
I never wanted to go but he would always make me
I wanna know what you were thinking
I wanna know what you were drinking
Mark Cruce
Have another drink Mark Cruce
He's the guy passing out and crashing on your couch
Mark Cruce Have another drink Mark Cruce
He's the guy pissing in the front yard of your house
Mark Cruce
Through all the years not a whole lot's changed
how 'bout that party where you stole the beer tap
off some burnout's keg
I really hope that you know
I almost got my ass beat
have another drink Mark Cruce
he's the guy with the bat that took your mailbox out
setting fire to bags of shit outside your neighbor's house

"My Money Is On The Long Shot"

"My Money Is On The Long Shot"

It's the new standard of
Living on a thinner thread
And the new look now is wanting more but have a little less
The new you isn't who
You thought you knew but it's what's left
Let me catch my breath
Let me try and start explaining this

We always say we want to have it bigger
We always say we want to have it better
Take a look around
Setting ourselves up to hold this down
We wait around for something better
And we always wanted something bigger
But we don't work for it
Cause we know it's much too big a risk

It's a long shot
And my chances can't get worse
And the truth stings
Ringing out with every word
It's ringing out with every word

If you knew the future of
Exactly what lies ahead
Would you change a bit or still let it lead you by the wrist
And we pace and we wait
For the weights to crush what's left
Let me take the hit
Let me see if I unravel this

We wait around for the easy answers
And we ignore what really matters
We let the past sink in
But never learned it's much too big a risk
Much too big a risk

It's a long shot
And my chances can't get worse
And the truth stings
Ringing out with every word
It's a long shot
And my chances can't get worse
And the truth stings
Ringing out with every word
It's ringing out with every word

Ready, set or not
I'll bet all I've got
On the longest shot
Ready, set or not
I'll bet all I've got
On the longest shot
Ready, set or not
I'll bet all I've got
On the longest shot
I'll bet all I've got
On the longest shot

"My Very Own Flag"

"My Very Own Flag"

Something that's inside of me
It's something that I cannot see
Like rules and regulations
Passed down for generations
I wish I had my very own flag,
And as I walk away
I can hear you say
I wish that I had my own flag

"Negative Sides Of Optimistic Eyes"

"Negative Sides Of Optimistic Eyes"

Trying not to hold my breath
But my lungs are filled inside this chest
And 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
And 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

"Nervous In The Alley"

"Nervous In The Alley"

On a Tuesday in the rain,
I never thought there'd come a day.
I never thought there'd come a day, yea.
If I put myself to the test,
would I ever raise a fist.
Would I just shut my mouth,
would I just block it out.

I've swore it a million times,
never to be left again with that feeling,
of hopelessness left standing.
Just nervous in the alley.

I've swore it a million times,
never to be left again with that feeling,
of hopelessness left standing.
Just nervous in the alley, woah.

Just nervous in the alley.

And when all is said and through.
Would I know just what to do.
Would I know just what to do, yea.
If I put myself to the test,
would I ever raise a fist.
Would I just shut my mouth,
would I just block it out.

I've swore it a million times,
never to be left again with that feeling,
of hopelessness left standing.
Just nervous in the alley.

I've swore it a million times,
never to be left again with that feeling,
of hopelessness left standing.
Just nervous in the alley.

Woah-oh...Just nervous in the alley.
Woah-oh...Just nervous in the alley.
Woah-oh...Just nervous in the alley.
Woah-oh..Woah-woah.

It's a change of heart,
that keeps us apart
(you say its true,
you know its true,
nothing left except for me and you)
It's not that strange,
with all I have to say,
I wonder what I'm fighting for, yea.

I've swore it a million times,
never to be left again with that feeling,
of hopelessness left standing.
Just nervous in the alley.
(Woooooaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh)
I've swore it a million times,
never to be left again with that feeling,
of hopelessness left standing.
Just nervous in the alley.

Woah-oh...Just nervous in the alley.
Woah-oh...Just nervous in the alley.
Woah-oh...Just nervous in the alley.
Woah-oh...Just nervous in the alley.

"Never Going Back to New Jersey"

"Never Going Back to New Jersey"

There was a time when I could say it right to you
that I was never going to leave this place
but now its "I was wrong"
and "I don't wanna fucking talk about it"
cause it feels like things have changed
Yeah well I could talk, talk, talk
and say I'm wrong, wrong, wrong
but I feel I'm in a place I've never known
and it feels like there's something wrong,
something wrong, something wrong
and I know that I don't wanna know...
I'm never going back again
there was a time when I would say I must be crazy
that I would say this place is looking strange
but now its "I'm kinda lost" and "I just don't remember"
because things never stay the same...yeah, well I could talk, talk...

"Nine-One-One To Anyone"

"Nine-One-One To Anyone"

so i will, i'll be the one who's coming clean
with every 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 never thought the face in the mirror would be me

hey 911 to everyone [x3]
i'm 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 never thought the face in the mirror would be me

i'm afraid of growing up and growing old
afriad of the past and present
and what my future might hold

hey 911 to everyone [x3]
i'm in a state of emergancy

hey 911 to everyone [x3]
i'm in a state of emergancy

"Oldest Trick In The Book"

"Oldest Trick In The Book"

I wonder where I'll be at the end of the world
I wonder how I'll get home
I wonder how it feels to be on top of the world
With all the highs and lows

I wonder where I'll be when the ceiling falls
I wonder if I'll be stoned
I wonder where they hear me past these four walls
And what you'll write on my headstone

Is it true, what doesn't kill you really makes you stronger?
Is it true what's good for you makes you live longer?
Who wants to live longer?

I'll change the world before I go
All I know
I'll change the world before I go
That's all I know

I wonder where I'll be at the end of the world
I wonder how I'll go
I wonder if there'll ever be an end to the war
And will my friends come home

I wonder if I'll ever be able to learn
All the things I'm taught
I wonder if they'll give me all the credit I've earned
It seems it's all I've got

'Cause if it's true what doesn't kill you really makes you stronger
Then it's true what's good for you makes you live longer
Who wants to live longer?

I'll change the world before I go
All I know
I'll change the world before I go
That's all I know

You pick yourself up but you're still on the floor
You're feeling better but you can't find the cure
It's sad to say, but I'm pretty sure
The oldest trick in the book doesn't work anymore

All I know
I'll change the world before I go
All I know
Gonna change the world before I go
I'll change the world before I go (before I go)
All I know (I'll change the world)
Gonna change the world before I go
That's all I know
Yeah, that's all I know

"One Last Cigarette"

"One Last Cigarette"

I check the time, it's 4:00 a.m.
And I just passed the westside buildings
All the broken glass
As I try to shake the cold away, but anyways,
It's late at night and I'm about to crack
And decide to just walk the tracks
That I just walked yesterday.
