I've got a bad feeling about this

When you took that ring off, balled it in your fist,
Eyes like a smoking gun, surprised at what she did
So don't even think for one second, your following me in
My parents are home, and so is my kid, just go on,
That house that you hate, that house that we bought, and failed to make
When you took that ring off I sat there stunned
Parked out in my car surprised by what she done
The courage that that must have took left me utterly speechless
- Bonus Mosh Pt. II
So, scream I heard about your message,
And how it reeked of your indifference,

Tensing up your shoulders,

The nicest man I ever met
Was more malicious than malcontent

And wait to strike till their backs were turned
And you slither away like the snake that you are
Yeah, you slither away like the snake that you are
All I ever did was look up to you
- Carpathia

Well dusting off the old life from my catholic knees

None of that'll matter
- Cut Me Up Jenny
Oh...
On a borrowed mattress you were stopping time
I've been watching you
I've been watching you
For hours and hours before you knew, ooh

You are the polished-pearl grips of your fathers .45,

Flower tongue wilts with too much sun
And that's where we've been living for so long
Sending off the western coast
Watch the sun set with your shrinking voice
See I ain't the boy she loves the most
I'm just enough to fill the void her daddy left
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
- make damn sure
You've got this new head filled up with smoke
And I've got my veins all tangled close

'Cause you are everything I'm not

"New American Classic"
"We've got to get better," I said, "It's all in your head."

When the hours move to minutes and I'm seconds away
Just ask the question come untie the knot
- Nothing At All
You wait in the dark for the music to soothe you to sleep

Like puddles, we wash away
Hate me now so I can move on
Make it easier to see that you`re gone

I wait around from this still small center
From state to center

Well who did you come to
Well is it who I think it is I swear to god
- There's No 'I' In Team

Promise something differently.
- We Were Younger Then

Drinking gypsy wine saying
I can't believe how strange it is to be alive right now
- What's It feel Like to Be a Ghost
And then you said a little more about your dreams,
Like it was my call (my call)

Dragged you out into the streets

See it's not like I didn't mean what I said when I said
'I'll put my money where my mouth is'

Until I couldn't breathe through my nose
And now I'm staring at the floor
Where my second life just ended
Where i lost not one but two friends

Well, Jenny she says
She don't want no one around
Around when she dies

- You Were Right
I call, you don't answer.
I run, you run faster,

He's there to remind me.
Every time it gets to the middle of the night
I want to call and tell you that you were right
- Your Own Disaster
Just think of this and me
As just a few of the many things
To lie around,
To clutter up your shelves
And I wish you weren't worth the wait
Cause this something
I'd like to say to you - you could shrug me of your shoulders
