Remember the failures of past memories Hearts and initials, carved in a tree Names and dates engraved in concrete All the dirt roads that came to be streets Pages of scribbles, in spiral notebooks Polaroid pictures and chances we took Dehydrated roses, rusted antiques Chaotic collages, lets play hide and seek Pages of scribbles, in spiral notebooks Polaroid pictures and chances we took Dehydrated roses, rusted antiques Chaotic collages, lets play hide and seek Torn apart, ripped to shreds, scatter-brained Sick In The Head Emaciated, underfed, ruptured veins Sick In The Head Scraps of newspapers, cut out and pasted Procrastinated propaganda, thrown out and wasted Random words, forgotten on the floor Uncharted horizons, boarded-up doors Pages of scribbles, in spiral notebooks Polaroid pictures and chances we took Dehydrated roses, rusted antiques Chaotic collages, lets play hide and seek Pages of scribbles, in spiral notebooks Polaroid pictures and chances we took Dehydrated roses, rusted antiques Chaotic collages, lets play hide and seek Torn apart, ripped to shreds, scatter-brained Sick In The Head Emaciated, underfed, ruptured veins Sick In The Head

Adults are Boring There's something wrong with people Who force their hateful beliefs on their children And teach them how to be obsessed with wealth and so-called "sucksess" Instead of finding out what it really means To live and love in life and that you shouldn't have to fight And feel so angry and confused all the time Desperately trying to win both parent’s approval When you'd rather just go run and play outside Why can't we just let kids Enjoy being young and carefree for awhile Until they have to grow up and leave home To face this great big world of terror and Forget how to be crazy and have fun Before they mutate into selfish boring adults Adults are Boring

Double Talk 01:49
Double Talk Sarcastic smart ass remarks Pour out of your loud mouth like Diaria, no one wants to hear your Annoying comments or jokes That are blatantly and obviously Thought up to instigate more drama Making those around you feel like Communicating is a waste of breath Don't beat around the bush Get to the point I've had Enough with the Double Talk Get off that pedestal shut Your trap and stop the stupid Rhetorical Double Talk A word to the wise keep your opinions And advice where they belong give it A rest and lay off from the arguments And speeches for a change if you keep Acting this way sooner or later there Will be a day of reckoning then you'll Be sorry and after that think twice About being a dick Don't beat around the bush Get to the point I've had Enough with the Double Talk Get off that pedestal shut Your trap and stop the stupid Rhetorical Double Talk

I Cracked My Skull Always had a few loose screws the rest are bent and stripped flew way over the cookoo's nest snapped and flipped my lid Like an elephant in a china shop I'm a slow and clumsy ox There's really nothing inside my brain just empty holes and rocks Fell off my skate board hit the ground so hard broke a few bones and I cracked my skull Crashed my motorcycle soared through the air smashed on the asphalt I cracked my skull Neutered, sterile and declawed I'm a mangy ally cat who creeps and craws around his town eating from garbage cans Deformed and lacerated dirty, with lice infested hair the people wretch at the sight of me but I don't really care Second handed, dented like discounted damaged goods I'm never seen in perfect health and easily misunderstood Fell off my skate board hit the ground so hard broke a few bones and I cracked my skull Crashed my motorcycle soared through the air smashed on the asphalt I cracked my skull

Drifting in an ocean of shit Tryin' to find an island so we Can chill out a little bit Some kind of home where There's no rent or bills to pay But for now we gotta deal with It and take what we can get When things don't work out The way you wanted don't be sore When God closes a window you Gotta just Kick Down The Door There's a million plus a billion Options to explore just remember When God closes a window you Gotta Kick Down the fuckin' Door Chances are your gonna feel upset And let down once and a while but It won't hit as hard if you think like A child keep your head up and fight For what is right never quit or tap Out even if it seems like you'll never Get out of it When things don't work out The way you wanted don't be sore When God closes a window you Gotta just Kick Down The Door There's a million plus a billion Options to explore just remember When God closes a window you Gotta Kick Down the fuckin' Door

There are so many choices to chose from and make given to us but somehow you know there should be so much more and we are told that in order to survive we have to obey and abide by occupational standards boring molds and predictable patterns Buy into every fad and hype, laugh at all the same old stereo-types except it as normal, the status quo and go along with the flow of xenophobic, gripping riptides, don't even try to criticize or develop a unique perspective, untouched, authentic and refined Eat Your Heart Out, take a bite It's the only thing that makes you feel like life could maybe be alright Eat Your Heart Out, drink your own blood do whatever you want, don't take no shit from anyone Nothing in this world makes any sense, it's all up-side down and backwards thinking, white-washed and filtered values Condescending familiar faces, scorching flames in frames of fantasy, fame and fortune held out like a carrot on a stick Sensationalized, vengeance, vigilance Celebrated test-tube torches, one night stands, and lost causes I know you, you're just like me, in so many ways we just can't see any reason to follow the flock of sheep, and go to sleep Eat Your Heart Out, take a bite It's the only thing that makes you feel like life could maybe be alright Eat Your Heart Out, drink your own blood do whatever you want, don't take no shit from anyone

You Can Do Better Than That The only one that can ever really bring you down is your self. Yes there are some who take a beating, smile, politely ask for more. Adversity triumphs when it distracts you from choosing the proper path and plan of action that enables strength and agility. There is nothing more depressing than watching you be depressed and typically cynical like everything is dead and meaningless. Allowing external conditions to trigger angst and inner- turmoil, Drained of any motivation, your talents become amputated. Don't miss out on any chance to further exercise practice and perfect your skills, keep it real never settle for anything less than being the best Try a little harder every swing at bat should be a home run now it's a full count the bases are loaded don't strike out you know You can do better than that A weekly paycheck falls short of fair and adequate compensation. For having a mundane, monotonous job that takes too much time and energy away from the day, so all you want to do is eat, get drunk, jerk off and sleep. Burdened with overwhelming grief, the years will pass by making it easier to forget the anti-social punk you used to be when there was so much passion and disgust against conformity A child of the working class, who'd never kiss a rich man's ass Now you're growing old and tired to protest is an inconvenience a ghost of the outspoken youth that wasn't afraid to stand for something Leaped inside melting pot, tailored in a suit and tie to fit the mold, playing the scripted roll but I still think You can do better than that

Nobody’s Perfect A hundred bucks worth of makeup in your face can't ever disguise the ugliness inside You can hide your lies in new cars and clothes and have a smiley face but the disgrace still shows Jealousy and envy is the plight of our souls dwelling in the darkest corners secretly and undisclosed We're all in this together the same flesh and bone living in glass houses defenselessly vulnerable SO who is without sin and can throw the first stone? Nobody but nobody but nobody but nobody Nobody's perfect, that's the way it should be but this world is full of people thinking they are polished, shiny clean Nobody's perfect, that includes you and me we're ignoramuses, idiots, God help us, help us, help us please We look for perfection have no direction, dead and sick from infections, avoid self corrections, holding up our noses in the air and pass by personal problems like there's nothing there Skeletons in the closet, monsters under the bed, deliberately forgotten about pushed into the back of our heads Covering up dirty deeds with mud pretending life is fabulous, keeping it cool acting as if the sun revolves around you every one does, every one does, every one does every one does but Nobody's perfect, that's the way it should be but this world is full of people thinking they are polished, shiny clean Nobody's perfect, that includes you and me we're ignoramuses, idiots, God help us, help us, help us please

A finger on the trigger, is waiting to be pulled Sniper's in a secret place no one can see Where the rapid fire's coming from surround in a shroud Crowd panics at the sound of undisclosed artillery The Smoking Gun Now you're dead and gone A cold stiff corpse, in a pool of blood Invisible arms, weapons of mass destruction Need an escalating war, or a decent threat Enough to make it's citizens and make them believe There is no other way, and this is what we need The Smoking Gun Now you're dead and gone A cold stiff corpse, in a pool of blood The Smoking Gun another hit and run A perfect murder, the deed is done Catatonic dead men tell no tales Think about what might happen before you speak We'll change the weather take the wind out of your sails Sink your ship cut your legs off at the knees Don't be a whistle-blowing snitch Nobody likes a rat We'll catch your in our trap and Make you vanish into thin air We're in the business of discretely taking out the trash So shut your mouth before we make your ass disappear

All Time Low 02:59
Can't find a job I got no credentials or skills The bills are stacked up rent is due I don't know what I'm gonna do Twisted from head to toe Feels like I'm locked up at an All Time Low Confused, desperate and cold Stuck in a rut at an All Time Low I've hit rock bottom I guess it cold be a lot more worse This streak of bad luck is unyielding and nothing seems to quench my thirst Exhausted from head to toe Feels like I'm trapped at an All Time Low Naked hungry and cold Alone in the dark at an All Time Low There's got to be a way to break this depressing dry spell what use is it to kneel and pray? God knows I'm already in Hell Exhausted from head to toe Feels like I'm trapped at an All Time Low Naked hungry and cold Alone in the dark at an All Time Low Twisted from head to toe Feels like I'm locked up at an All Time Low Confused, desperate and cold Stuck in a rut at an All Time Low

Start Over, Continue There's hope, the sky is so blue The Fire within you Will burn forever and true It's not that you're hopeless and never tried get this mystery and sorry there is no way to solve it So I just accept the pain that makes me real cuz that is the only thing that I can feel And Knowledge is sorrow Stolen wisdom and borrowed Replacements for substance Used now and gone tomorrow Absolute negatives consume, decay the soul Infinite objectives, the body enslaved and sold So much for an answer, to why we hate each other And pollute mother Earth, torture and kill out brothers Start Over, Continue
