YOU’RE FAKING SMILES SHAKING HANDS TO PAY YOUR RENT
YOU KNOW I’D RATHER HAVE A NOOSE AROUND MY NECK
HAVE SOME SELF RESPECT
I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS IS THE COMPANY YOU KEEP
I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’RE LIVING DOWN ON YOUR KNEES
INSTEAD OF”WHY?” YOU’RE FUCKING ASKING “PLEASE?”
TWISTED TUNNEL VISION, REPLACING MY ADDICTIONS
GIVES ME EXCUSES NOT TO LEAVE,
GIVES ME SOMETHING TO BELIEVE
MISSTEPS, MISDIRECTION,
MISTAKES, MISINFORMATION
I THINK I’VE MISSED THE MESSAGE, WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT
I HAVE NO DOUBT
SO DRINK YOUR WHISKEY, CALM YOUR NERVES, AND PAY YOUR DEBTS
REMEMBER ALL THAT YOU HAVE LEFT IS REGRET
“NO BOTTLE’S BEAT ME YET”
PULL YOURSELF UP FROM BITTER BLUES
REMIND YOURSELF THAT YOU’VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
AND IF YOU’RE WRONG AT LEAST YOU SAID “I CHOOSE”

IT’S GETTING HARD JUST TO SYMPATHIZE
TUNING OUT THE BULLSHIT, READING THEIR LIES
PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT CAUSES TO BELIEVE IN
PACK IT UP I’M FUCKIN’ LEAVIN’
ITS NOT THAT I DON’T CARE, I KNOW THAT ITS UNFAIR
ITS JUST THAT EVERYBODY’S ALWAYS YELLIN IN MY EAR
MY DESENSITIVITY HAS GOT THE BEST OF ME AND I’M RUNNING OUT OF AIR
SOMETHING TAKES ME AWAY FROM YOU
IF EVERY TIME’S THE LAST TIME
YOU SAY I’M ALWAYS OUT OF LINE
WHAT IS IT SUPPOSED TO MEAN,
WHEN EVERYTHING YOU SAY MEANS NOTHING?
SUDDEN DEATH AND SUDDEN DEBT,
ALCOHOL AND CIGGARETTES
ATOM BOMBS AND POWER TRIPS,
HUNGER STRIKES AND MURDER TIPS
LEADERS FAIL AND STATUES FALL,
COUNTLESS NIGHTMARES BIG & SMALL
AND I JUST CAN’T FEEL ANYTHING AT ALL
EVERYTIME THAT I OPEN MY EYES,
I’M FORCED TO SEE A WORLD THAT IS READY TO CAPSIZE
MYSERY’S THE INDSUTRY YOUR FEEDING
YOUR FAKE HEART IS FUCKING BLEEDING
SO THEY INUNDATE YOU, CALCULATE YOU
ANYTHING THAT THEY CAN DO TO RE-CREATE YOU
SHUT MYSELF OFF TIME AND TIME AGAIN

HIS NAME IS BRICK AND HE’S UP AT THE CRACK OF 4
PHILLY IN HIS HAND AND STEEL RESERVE ON THE FLOOR
GOT A DATE WITH A STRIPPER AT 6,
AND NOW HE’S TAKING HER HOME AND HE’S FUCKIN HER
ITS MAKING ME SICK
BRICK SAYS “EVERYTHING IS SHIT”
BRICK KNOWS WE WILL NEVER QUIT ON HIM BECAUSE HE’S SICK
HE’S MY FRIEND AND HIS NAME IS BRICK
BRICK SAYS “EVERYTHING IS SHIT”
BRICK KNOWS WE WILL NEVER QUIT ON HIM CAUSE HE’S A PRICK
BRICK’S NOT DEAD HE’S JUST HIDING IN CONNECTICUT
NOW HE’S CRASHIN’ EVERY PARTY ON 29TH
SMOKIN IN THE CORNER, CHUGGIN A NATTY LIGHT
GOT HIS EYE ON THE GIRL IN THE RED,
UNTIL HE PUKES ON HER SKIRT
NOW HER FIST IS GOING RIGHT FOR HIS HEAD

I’M GONNA MAKE MY CASE JUST A LITTLE BIT STRONGER
TO MAKE THIS LIFE JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER
CAN’T BE RESPONSIBLE
NOT GONNA CHANGE MY MIND, FUCK YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION
I’M NOT GONNA LIVE LIKE A BAD SUGGESTION
NOTHING MEANS THE WORLD TO ME, HIDDEN BEHIND A COMPUTER SCREEN
DAYDREAMING OF BREAKING FREE AND HOW TO LEAVE
BUT YOU’RE JUDGING ME LIKE YOU THINK IM WEAK,
“POSER PUNK FUCKING WANNA-BE, HE’LL BE THE LAST ONE TO LEAVE”
EXPERIENCE HAS MADE A MESS OF ME,
AND IM NOT THE PERSON THAT I THOUGHT ID BE
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I’D SAY “I’LL TAKE THAT STEP ONE DAY BUT NOT TODAY”
AND NOW ONE DAY HAS COME AND GONE SO MANY FUCKING TIMES
AND I CAN SIT AND WRITE TOO MANY FUCKING REASONS WHY
NOW I’M PUTTING DOWN MY PEN AND STOPPING TIME
GIVING UP IS THE THING TO DO
TAKING ADVICE FROM SOMEONE LIKE YOU
WHY DON'T YOU TRY SOMETHING NEW - BEST FOOT FORWARD
THINKING BACK LOOKING TO THE PAST
WASTING TIME IN AN EMPTY GLASS
I SWEAR THAT THIS ONES MY LAST
I SEE YOU GIVING UP WHEN THE WORLD STARTS CHANGING
BREAKING BACKS JUST TO RE-ARRANGE ME
DIS-RESPECT WHEN YOU KNOW I MADE IT
LAUGHING LAST AS I HIT THE PAVEMENT
AND I DON’T GIVE A SHIT

DADS CONVERGE IN A FIGHT TO THE DEATH
BEER GUTS AND CORN NUTS AND STALE DAD BREATH
UP IN THE BLEACHERS THE CROWD STARTS TO GROW
THIS POP'S A CAN THATS ABOUT TO EXPLODE
DAD POUNDS DAD SOUNDS ALL AROUND
DAD BEARDS DAD CHEERS FROM THE CROWD
PABST IN HIS HAND IS LIKE A NUCLEAR BOMB
DAD FIGHT, DAD FIGHT DON’T TELL MOM

POST-COLLEGE 20-SOMETHING, YOU’RE A MESS
YOUR FRIENDS ARE ALL AHEAD, YOU’RE LAYING IN YOUR BED
SHIT JOB NO MOTIVATION, FUCK THIS
YOU DON’T WANA JUST SURVIVE, KILLING TIME TILL 65
WHEN YOU SAY LIFE’S ABOUT YOUR ROLE
IT JUST MEANS THERE’S SHIT THAT YOU DON’T KNOW
SO IF YOU’RE PLANNING TO EXPLODE,
FROM ALL YOUR SELF SUBURBAN WOE
I’LL TAKE THE HINT JUST LET ME KNOW
WHEN EVERYTHING IS AT A LOW,
I ‘LL BE THE FIRST TO LET IT SHOW
WE’RE ALL WE’VE GOT , WE’RE ALL WE KNOW
WE TRY SO HARD TO FIND THINGS TO FULLFILL US
BUT WE’RE OBSESSED WITH ALL THE THINGS THAT WILL KILL US
AND I JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW,
ITS MY SELF SUBURBAN WOE
ITS 3AM YOU CAN’T FIND ANY SLEEP
THE PROBLEMS AT YOUR FEET MAKE IT HARD FOR YOU TO BREATHE
NO REST, DISASTROUS CONSEQEUNCE
YOU’RE NOT MAKING ANY SENSE,
YOU DON’T RECOGNIZE YOUR FRIENDS
SO IF YOU’RE PLANNING TO EXPLODE I’LL TAKE THE HINT - JUST LET ME KNOW.

SOMETIMES MY INSPIRATION
FEELS LIKE ASPYHIXIATION
I TRY TO DO WHAT’S RIGHT
HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?
SO WHILE YOU TOSS AND TURN
I’D RATHER CRASH AND BURN
AND THINGS WILL NEVER CHANGE,
YEAH THEY’LL ALWAYS BE THE SAME YOU’LL ALWAYS BE THE SAME
SO TELL ME ALL YOUR STORIES
TRIED AND TRUE, NO GUTS NO GLORY
BIG-FISH-BULLSHIT, SAME AS ALWAYS
WELL I’VE HAD ENOUGH - I’M NOT SORRY
WE’RE PLAYING GAMES WE’RE CHOOSING SIDES
COMMON SENSE OR CYANIDE
HALF-TRUTHS HALF-RELAYED IN DOUBT
WHERE YOU GONNA LAND? YOU BETTER FIGURE IT OUT
WHEN ALL I HEAR IS HATE I GUESS I JUST CAN’T RELATE
BIG MOUTHS AND BIGOTS SEEM TO SELL
SO THIS IS WHAT ITS LIKE, THIS IS LIVING HELL
I TAKE ONE LOOK AROUND
I MAKE ONE FUCKING SOUND
AND EVERYTHING JUST FALLS AROUND
EVERYTHING COMES CRASHING DOWN
I’LL OVERLOAD, MY SELF CONTROL
JUST A MINUTE - I’LL THROW MYSELF IN IT
I’VE GOT BRIDGES TO BURN AND YOU KNOW HOW TO SPIN IT
AROUND AND AROUND IT GOES

PACKED ALL YOU HAD INTO A DUFFLE BAG
“MAYBE A CHANGE OF PACE WON’T BE SO BAD”
AS YOU STARE INTO A PINT GLASS,
CIGGARETTES PILED UP IN A TIME-LAPSE
THE CLOCK STRIKES 3 AND YOU’RE SLAMMIN THE DOOR
CALIFORNIA DOESN’T SEEM THAT FAR ANYMORE
THE PROMISE YOU MADE AND THE FRIENDS THAT YOU HATE
ARE A THING OF THE PAST, IN THE MIRROR AND THEY'RE FADING FAST
WHAT’LL IT TAKE FOR ME TO FUCK THIS UP?
WHAT IF YOU SAID I WASN’T GOOD ENOUGH?
WHEN DID THE SIMPLE THINGS BECOME SO TOUGH?
STUCK IN THE PAST AND NOW I’M STUCK IN A RUT
GIVE ME THE ROAD AND GIVE ME GASOLINE
THE FURTHER I GO THE CLOSER PROBLEMS SEEM,
BUT LIKE I ALWAYS SAY
MY SOLUTIONS ARE COOL IN A TOTALLY DESTRUCTIVE WAY
SOMEDAY WAS YESTERDAY YOU SAID
ICE-PACK HELD AGAINST YOUR HEAD
ONLY ONE PLACE LEFT TO GO.
FEELING BAD AND NEVER LOSING TRACK
REMEMBERING ALL THE THINGS THAT HELD YOU BACK
LIKE YOUR FAST FADING CONSCIENCE
LITTLE GUILT FROM A LITTLE INDULGENCE
A TRUNK FULL OF QUESTIONS YOU COULDN’T IGNORE
NOW YOU’RE FINDING STATE LINES LIKE THERE AREN’T ANYMORE
YOU SAY THAT YOUR’RE GREAT, AND LETTING GO OF THE HATE
BUT IT SHOWS ON YOUR FACE, AND THE SCARS THEY WON’T FADE
WHAT’LL IT TAKE FOR ME TO FUCK THIS UP?
WHAT IF YOU SAID I WASN’T GOOD ENOUGH?
WHEN DID THE SIMPLE THINGS BECOME SO TOUGH?
