- After You My Friend
Here he is. He saves a grin
He wants to be the one
Who doesn't have to sink a level
Indiscrete, in his retreat
All he need is just a taste of
The bitter pride he held in her name
Embrace the solitude in ordinary
Fucked up state of grace
- Alien
Would it make you feel much better
If it was you against the world
If you were an alien
If it were conspiracy?
And would it hurt to live in comfort
If you found someone to trust
If you knew that you were with us
If we shared a common goal?
- Alison's Disease
Can't believe Alison's disease
Florescent, the storelights describe the end
and I can't forget it
Demons can return. He caught up with her.
Murderous hands cripple her eyes and mind
and I can't blink so
Hail defeat. It's reached everyone.
- Automatic
Get up, smile, find a need,
wash your hair, bleach your teeth
Develop habit,
Automatic
Compromise, build a bridge,
Sacrifice, sacrilege
Sell yourself,
- Beer Goggles
The turn out tonight is weak
The crowd is looking meager
Only 40 to 50 in the flock
but 3 more beers and I'm playin' Woodstock
And you can probably see that we're not all that tight
A couple more drinks will alter your sight
That does not mean fight
I'm not saying I have to be drunk
- Billionaire
Breaking down in surround
Alarms are deafening
Alone in immersion
Drowning in the dream
Billions in the shadow
Of one you won't deceive
All we know is failure
- Billy Club
Billy Club has got his strength
It places him above them
The feeble incompletes
Billy Club has found his pride
He looks down on their state
The verdict justified
It's self-defense
It's vigilance
- Bombs Away
You've got a think about being lame
You think you'll show us all your handicap is great
You've got a think about being lost
You think with our concern you'll find yourself
And you'll never be forgotten
Your family never wanted this one with all of her flaws
She's trailing far behind she's feeling incomplete
- Bro Dependent
[Chrous]
I try to focus on what I hear,
Listen to what I see
I've thought of this a lot,
And it's becoming all too clear
I take it, in excess,
As my true feelings are suppressed
- Bubble
We're not breaking ground
Brain-trust re-sharing a rusty sound
Period pieces, congenital cheer, faux evolution here
It's still 1992 here in the bubble reminding you
At warped speed on the beltway loop
Bringing our giant too
Sour grapes and puke
- Burn
You won't find me condescending at your closed door
You won't hear how I feel
Say you've been there before
The holiday's the hardest time
To fill in all the blanks
And you don't need anyone to show you those mistakes
Wrap yourself up in only math of our world
Fill up the holes in your full heart with details
- Bury The Hatchet
I can't recall the hurting words that I once said
So long ago, still indignation clouds your head
And it's enough to know the pain of losing friends
You perpetuate
certain sensless hate
and I can picture you today
as you say "I used to know that guy"
And as you speak they watch your face split in two
- Choke
Choke choke pride
Still I could only wait for you to decide
Tear it all apart
You break my heart
Why don't you follow through
Follow through
And the day ends
A so called friend
- Coffee and Cigarettes
I'm getting used to getting old but where's my ambition?
Days of omission
I feel broken down inside because my words seem to be trite
Adding to the overwhelming
Always a question of truth your truths
They question my efficiency
Impact - The words you can't hear
- Color Blind
Inside, we all have a heart and a brain
We are all human, we are all the same
After all, you have to blame someone else
It's a bitch, the cards that you dealt yourself
I cannot lie, it's clear to me,
The game, they might say the same of you
- Creepy
What if I had nothing left?
What if I had no one left?
Why would I
Who would I survive?
Dead man, he leaves his home
Hopeless, he holds his goals higher, higher, low
I just wanted to see you wake up one day
- Days Of New
The days are full of storybook romance
the myriad of thoughtful acts
A million ways I'm into you
I'm never getting over you
I'm sorry for exposing you
I know you hate it when I do
But I had to write one for my better half
- Dividers
All the mirrors scream
As they describe your dreams
All that they deride
Until you have no allies
They depict a world where we aren't safe
Without hate
An angry mob of one
- E Dagger
Come on E; try to go easy We can do anything [repeat] Come on E; we got it covered We can stop anytime [repeat] Come on E; it's just a party Let's go to party town Then we can party down Come on E; Check out my funny hat My name is Randal I wrote you this song Can't you see that all we need is one night to release?

I can't live without him Come on E; we're goin easy It 's just a party Time to get gnarly Come on E; try to go easy My name is Randal It's nice to meet you We are always here to make you laugh
- E. Dagger
come on e
try to go easy
we can do anything, anything, anything
come on e
we got it covered
we can stop anytime, anytime, anytime
- Everything Turns Grey
things don't seem to be as easy
as they used to be it's getting
harder everyday
to think of better things to say
about what's going on around you and
what's happening inside you
when it's time to change you won't know how
it won't matter years from now
- Falling Apart

- Goin' South
Gotta drive all night if not a go
Got to designate a driver before the show
It's your turn now at the wheel
There's nothing like a guard rail
To wake you up in the middle of the night
And we are drivin' north, goin' south
It looks like we'll sleep here
- Goodbye
I can see what's meant to be has happened to us too
Maybe I enjoyed being screwed
But I will not be missing you
Missing all the time we wasted
On a couch, you share with someone else
And you tell me, don't believe
They're all lying
There's no proof, I am not insane
- Heartbreaking Music
I've already come to terms
With bridges I have burned
We all make mistakes
Keep preparing for the worst
So it won't seem adverse
Just like we rehearsed
- I Must Be Hateful
I can't make the damn phone ring
It's simply pathetic if I call you anymore
I can't figure it now
We tallied our scores I got knocked out
I know when you come to town
I know where you drop your dime and whom it's for I'm not good enough to time your cup of coffee 15 years...
Was long enough
- Island of Shame
And it's prejudice
As if he chose to be this way
They'll make him keep more than he would take
One summer morning
He left us ashamed
In some small town of small ways
The one they feared
- Lazy
I just lost my job
I just lost my girl
Things are getting way out of hand
But my living room is like quicksand
Sucks me down
I'll never leave
In the ground
My cable TV
- Live It Down
the planer´s lost
and all I need
to linemy bed
with handkerchiefs
to bay my
fatigue to build a case
of true love lost
and lives erased
- Lullaby
Waging war on the arms race of sound
Turn it down
Pull the plug
Imminent surrender
Ringing in the new
Dark Age
Shut down the noise-aholics
- Making Friends
As you in this search for something to hate
I can feel you rally around someone
With your peers
But can you stand alone
Can you take the long way home
Cause I stood in the circle
A hundred times before
And I feel safer in the eye of a storm
- May 16
No more waiting on them
as you rise inside new rooms
It's official you've gone
You can live for no one else
Man the guilt must be huge
As there's no gain in failure
You succeed at being mine
Yeah, old friend, see you there
- May 16th
No more waiting on them
as you rise inside new rooms
It's offical you've gone
you can live for no one else
Man the guilt must be huge
As there's no gain in failure you succeed at being mine
Yeah, old friend, see you there I will be proud from afar
I can paint a picture in a moment of memories and there aren't many left
- Messengers
Late, I can stay up late
In and out of bed
Cleaning up the mess
Trying to be honest
'Cause I know I am on it
In this the last time I speak of it
The loyalties that have been broken
Mine isn't dead
- Move the Car
The story it grows older,
The story is no story here
I never knew what it is,
And there's no sign of it ending
As I am it and ought to be,
They're telling me I am
[Chorus]
- Name Dropping
Crysti can't take all the pressure
Kevin hates the girls he dates
Mia says she's gonna snap
I need a new car to drive away
Derek beats up all his girlfriends
Jessie likes to comb his hair
Hanacek is on the wagon
- Narrow Straits
I want to mute the scene
Stop the clocks
Turn them off, and feel your silence.
Shut them out, plug my ears
And I wanna hear of somewhere you're down and out.
And I'll let separation
My watch is when you leave for the last
- Never stops
I'm all right,
Tell me you're all right
Almost there, barely here
I knew that this day would have to come
Wailing on the wall
Watching giants fall
I know there's a message to receive
- Obsolete Absolute
"It is inevitable, he becomes OBSOLETE because the things that define him
become OBSOLETE. These things are part of who he is and now they are
irrelevant: TYPEWRITERS, CURSIVE HANDWRITING, DICTIONARIES,
ENCYCLOPEDIAS, LANDLINES, OPERATORS, PAYPHONES, MAIL,
CONVERSATION, TOUCH, SYMPATHY, EMPATHY, LOVE, PRIVACY..."
Please to meet you in the grey
Swinging slowly in the hang
- One Thing to Live
A look at you now what's in a name
You left them there
It was a shame
They would like to have helped
Again to begin
but potential was yours never ours
before you chose your fate
before you asked them all to wait
- Owen Meaney
Uncertainty
A foundation built on nothing I could see
Secure in your immaculate perception
The last resort I ever thought I'd exercise
Now, all that I have to stand on
Grieving from a different point of view
I learned it's meaning from you
In life and death
- Razor Burn
Она бросила меня. Двумя днями позже
Она нашла своего Дон Жуана в Италии.
Теперь у неё новый парень, а у меня новые усы.
Теперь мои друзья зовут меня "Горный Человек".
И каждый станет думать - я тупой бродяга.
Чтобы быть одному, я больше не бреюсь.
- Resolve
Don't leave me in this room
The walls are closing in
This is the space I used to say
The line is drawn for you each day
But every day you show
With sound of caving walls
Some day this song will have no pulse
- Rifle
I'm not the one who is pointing the finger,
You hypocrite
We're not true enough to be part,
But I speak of what I have learned
I haven't a flag to be burned
Born wrong
Descend upon us, you're only honest,
- Runs In The Family
Used to recognize the gun in your hand
Promise, squandered
Used to understand the stake in your heart
Mileage, road worth
But it's hard to recognize the massive burden
Born of bad deeds
And it runs in the family from beginning to end It is just revenge
- Sad Astronaut
As you sat on the bed
Moments from your end
Inconceivable dread
Inches from your head
I can't bear to imagine you
In that horror scene
One too sad to be
- Shaving Your Head
We used to watch them fall,
And we saw them distraught
But the attention that they got,
It surrounds them
For years we watched them enslaved,
And we could only laugh
What a loser what a shame,
Said we'd never play the
- Sick
I've been living for years in question, some obsession
Was I less to live with no answers, as a life cried wolf
I'm ashamed to mention my anguish, but silence lies empty
If I say it again can I kill it, will you lend me your ears
Breathe in breathe out exhale, acting sweating
A broken smile provides them a view, projection is nothing new
Just once I would like them to feel it, suffer in my skin
For a moment stand in my shoes, filled with swelling blues
- Sleep
Hi, it's me I'm bored again, all is well I'm not insane
I've been drunk for seven days, everything is fine
I made some friends, broke the ice, then I ate some bread and cheese
To gain some weight, keep me warm everything's okay.
It's me, delivering psychosis, over the phone to you
I color your world blue, ten thousand miles from you
I'm sinking all alone, treading new waters, We're is my buoy?
- Status Pools
Hey chief how's the status puddle
Is it hard to hold your bad breath
How's the picture perfect likeness
Nice frame from the way you see yourself
Smile
Look into the place of our old school
Denial
Nice move
- Stop Whining
Can't you see
We the people can make the choices
You and I must raise our voices
To build a future where you belong
Revoke oppression and right and wrong
But do you vote or do you only complain
Do you just carry on in vain
As your economy crashes,
- The Contortionist
In a chalk dotted line
Draw a kid, left behind
Severed limbs in harmony
Strumming from a few good deeds
Carry it to survive
To a bed half alive
Held before a dozen times
- 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
- Today
As you expect here as the keys
So come and go as you please
Whats 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
- 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 [repeat]
It's easier to locate
- Twenty-Seven
I 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 with draw
Away from us
- 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
- Violins
I am just another fool, and I have to, keep telling myself that
I am just a hypocrite, and I have to, keep calling you one
And I forgot to bite my tongue, and my assumption, was the mother of all mistakes
So I assume the role, open my mouth, and clumsy words escape
So why you, wanna to be there, when you could be here, you are slipping away
I awake with your replacement, a bottle in my grasp, in an unfamiliar place
- Weak
Come to know them
And what makes them burn
Take out your aggressions
And alleviate the hurt
Fueled by some loss we'll never know
I sit down now, 'cause
I'm not playing with you
- you know me
we hangout remotely with pretend friends
we share these moments all alone
we strive for virtue virtually
self-promoting these stage clothes
we search for soul in every blue forgotten room
and they wont know us at all
