I lost myself again To a cigarette and gin These hopeless nights turn to hotel lights Well Here's Where I begin to fall apart Half past a freckle on my wrist was the moment it set in I'm not a child anymore, so I better shape up shape up I've spent years reciting one liners to all our favorite shows When will it be time to for me to write some of my own It's better off left in the past Where it can't be found again Cuz we all just settled in If life was meant to move so fast Why have I just been lying here Cuz I've been paralyzed by the lack of drive to move beyond these 25 years I don't want to wear that make up put on a suit, drink stirred not shaken Pronounce each syllable with emphasis like I'm the king of the road most taken It's not that I'm above mediocrity In fact I'm just so so at that Just can't keep my head held high knowing that I'm unhappy looking back It's better off left in the past Where it can't be found again Cuz we all just settled in If life was meant to move so fast Why have I just been lying here Cuz I've been paralyzed by the lack of drive to move beyond these 25 years We settled in

I think your walking a thin line can't even walk a straight line Won't get you off the curbside must have missed the tell signs I have a little piece of me that wants to leave you on your ass and forget that you existed Guess I'm stuck in the mean time already passed my bed time I think I'm losing my mind Hope you know this is the last time That I'll ever be by your side as your throwing up and screaming I'm the worst guy It's all in your head Illusions that I'm leaving, illusions that I'm cheating You think I'm better off dead You might be right, but it looks like I'm still breathing & It's all in your head Illusions that I'm leaving, illusions that I'm cheating You think I'm better off dead You might be right, but it looks like I'm still breathing I've lost my temper again You can't blame me cuz I'm trying Not to fuck up again seems I'm not so perfect am I? I can give what I can give and get nothing in return, I've got so much to learn Please don't say a word Can't stand the sound of your voice I'm walking straight out the door You know this all was your choice But now Your just a notch in my belt and a line in a song, it won't be long before I move on It's all in your head Illusions that I'm leaving, illusions that I'm cheating You think I'm better off dead You might be right, but it looks like I'm still breathing & It's all in your head Illusions that I'm leaving, illusions that I'm cheating You think I'm better off dead You might be right, but it looks like I'm still breathing I've waited so very long to tell you what I think I hope you think of me when you sleep alone or with him or her or it, you know And you choke In your sleep, and while your turning blue, you look back to me And on my face is a grin complacency It's all in your head Illusions that I'm leaving, illusions that I'm cheating You think I'm better off dead You might be right, but it looks like I'm still breathing & It's all in your head Illusions that I'm leaving, illusions that I'm cheating You think I'm better off dead You might be right, but it looks like I'm still breathing

Night Cap 03:34
Hey guess what I'm drinking myself to sleep again It's like this Monday routine will never change And I wish that I could say Tuesday was better but night after night, I don't want to feel a single thing As long as I can numb my nerves my achey bones will lay to rest once again This fifth of whisky doesn't work like it used to I think I need something else to help me mend I find myself all alone with my dog and cable I've ate my weight in guac and burritos It may be time to get me off my ass Cuz my liver is swollen and my hearts is still on empty Give me some coal, I can make you a diamond Cuz my ass has been so tight I barely know how how to exhale And I think the stress has been getting to me lately It feels like It's raining salt and I am a snail I built myself this Web of destruction Unable to move forward, only to stare Where's the rapture, I need someone to save me I won't be going up but at least I know I'm going somewhere I find myself all alone with my dog and cable I've ate my weight in guac and burritos It may be time to get me off my ass Cuz my liver is swollen and my hearts is still on empty I find myself all alone with my dog and cable I've ate my weight in guac and burritos It may be time to get me off my ass Cuz my liver is swollen and my hearts is still on empty

Keep It Real 02:27
I don't need the constant sunshine I won't feed your broken punchline I'm the butt of all your jokes It gives me hope that I'm more than just a road sign No one fights what can not hurt them I'm a blight, I'll burn for certain Does courage scare you? I bet it does, I know I do , enjoy my burden If you're not standing up for what you believe in Donate your legs to someone with a spine Me and my friends have been pushing, pushing against the current Just cause it's easy doesn't make it worth it Thanks for the reminder I never want to be what you've become I won't be a yes man, or kiss-an-ass man I think we know who won I live with nothing but drive I fight with nothing but pride These words are just a piece of me So feel my heart, and let's be alive If you're not standing up for what you believe in Donate your legs to someone with a spine Me and my friends have been pushing, pushing against the current Just cause it's easy doesn't make it worth it If you're not standing up for what you believe in Donate your legs to someone with a spine Me and my friends have been pushing, pushing against the current Just cause it's easy doesn't make it worth it

Heathens 02:46
It's such a sin! when I'm finally looking in I Hear somebody yelling settle up settle up I lost a tax to a shark named heaven I wish that I could get those years back Get on your knees and relax your throat for me And sing your lungs out, I feel the hymn now Was this all just blasphemy Oh just take a look around Am I in for the run around We're all just heathens in disguise masking questions of our lives On a boat towards paradise Finding solace deep inside We're all just heathens in disguise masking questions of our lives On a boat towards paradise Finding solace deep inside I don't want to live in fear I just want be content knowing there's not an answer or that I need some faith to just fit in If I wore a scarlet letter, had an A beneath my shoulder Would I burn forever, meet my maker? Either way the dirt tastes the same Oh just take a look around Am I in for the run around We're all just heathens in disguise masking questions of our lives On a boat towards paradise Finding solace deep inside We're all just heathens in disguise masking questions of our lives On a boat towards paradise Finding solace deep inside I'm seeing angels, flowing gowns and glowing crowns Giving me the middle finger as I'm falling down We're all just heathens in disguise masking questions of our lives On a boat towards paradise Finding solace deep inside
