Work for It

She’s be teaching me how to feel
And how to save the best parts of the meal
For last
Cuz nothing lasts forever
Life goes by so fast, whatever
She’s be teaching me how to deal
And how to keep my best cards more concealed
My hands up high
But eyes reveal that
I don’t even know what’s real
You got work for it
You got want it
She’s been teaching me to concentrate
To make myself something I can tolerate
Cuz life to short to hate yourself
Even though I do it well
She’s been teaching me how to make
All the my bad habits simply float away
Cuz dying young is so passé
I still might do it anyway
You got work for it
You got want it
I don’t wanna let you down anymore
Anymore, or

Are You Drunk Again?
01:36

Are you drunk again?
It’s only 10AM
and I thought we had plans
To go see friends but now
Your sleeping on the couch
With a cigarette
Still burning in your mouth
I guess we’ll just forget it
Ooo
Are you drunk again?
I don’t want to hold
Your stupid shaking hands
And you stumble
Every time you start to walk
Its embarrassing
You slur words when you talk
And then you just forget it
Ooo
Are you drunk again
It’s only 10AM
and I thought we had plans
To go see friends but now
Your sleeping on the couch
With a cigarette
Still burning in your mouth
I guess we’ll just forget it
I can’t say I’m sorry anymore
No, I can’t say I’m sorry anymore x5

World of Pain
03:03
|
|||
|
They’re gonna try to make us
Feel real weak
So it’s easier to break us down
And all the waters
Gonna feel so deep
That you’ll think that you are
Starting to drown
They don’t think we’ll fight it
No surrenders, only violence
Chorus
You had the chance to make it right
Then you went and gave us the run around
Stick to your guns put up a fight
Or they’re gonna hunt you down
Break all your shit then make you pay honey
So yo u better not run away
All of the love has turned to hate baby
Cuz We live in a world of pain
And I know everything
Can seem so bleak
When your voice doesn’t make a sound
Even the air we breathe
It Don’t come cheap
And the supply are running out
This hill were dying on
Was built so steep
You hardly feel yourself falling down
They don’t think we’ll try it
Burn the house down
Start a riot
Chorus 2x

Nothing Left
04:06
|
|||
|
I am a fool, a total mess inside
I could be falling apart right in front of your eyes
Try to commit social suicide
But you can’t really kill something
that’s isnt alive
Chorus
I got nothing
Thats left for me
No scraps to feed
My family
I disappointed everyone
They watched me burn out
Like the sun
I wish I could
Have helped you out
But I’m a fucking loser now
Telling myself a bunch of stupid lies
Am I just dumb or an asshole?
Check each box that applies
How many time can I say good bye?
Before I finally leave this all behind
Chorus
Bridge:
The voice in my head
Is what sets me apart
As I feel it fading
It’s breaking my heart
Chorus

Crosshairs
01:50
|
|||
|
You braid your hair
While I throw up in the kitchen sink
I get so nervous anytime I have to think
I’m such a drain on you
I know it isn’t fair
But I can’t function right
Unless I am impaired
Chorus
I live in your cross hairs
Pull the trigger soon I swear
I can’t last much longer
If you keep getting stronger
I live in your cross hairs
I live in your cross hairs
We walk on egg shells
Like our problems don’t exist
But as my feet swell up
I start to fill like shit
“Take it day by day” cliches
Make every night the same
It might be best to just lobotomize my brain
Chorus 2x

Bad News
02:21
|
|||
|
Lately I’ve had this question
And it’s a loaded one
When did the magic leave?
Did we stop being fun?
I know it fucking useless
To dwell upon the past
And over analyze
Every good time we had
Chorus
God damn I miss the days
We’d drink all afternoon
Then stay up taking bong rips
Howling at the moon
Those memories will fade
Cuz all of us are doomed
And Now we only call
To give each other bad news
Now we only call
To give each other bad news
I’ve got another question
Maybe you know this one
Is life supposed feel
Like living on the run
Cuz in my mental struggle
I think depression won
Standing on top of me
Holding a loaded gun
Chorus

Dead Inside
03:43
|
|||
|
I am dissolving at my core
In the same suit that I wore
To grandpas funeral
I just find life to be so dull
Despite complete lack of control
I am bored again
I’m always bored
Chorus
When did I die inside?
Who is asking anyway?
When did I die inside?
I wish I could feel your pain
Thought that if I act right
Maybe then somethings would change
took too long to realize
I will always be the same
Post Chorus
I don’t feel anything
Fell asleep out in the cold
On the streets once paved with gold
Now they’re just parking lots
….it was worth a shot
Chorus
Post chorus

Painful, fake smile
Nothing worthwhile
Brain waves on trial
Life is futile
Chorus
Everyone’s got something to say
But they’re useless words at the end of the day
I will fake my death just so I can escape
To a better place I’ll eventually hate
Endless doom spiral
Dirtbag lifestyle
Cold blood reptile
Steeped in denial
Chorus
No one gives a shit about your problems
They will drag you with them to the bottom

Cry Baby
03:32
|
|||
|
I know that it didn’t go as you planned
But it’s alright
Nobody died
I know you feel like it fell through your hands
But it’s alright
You’ll be fine
Chorus
So quit acting like a cry baby
Cuz things have actually been ok lately
But it won’t last because it’s all changing
And it’s not up to you to come save me
Cry baby! (ooo) 4x
You can’t sweat the small stuff
It rots your insides
Let it all go
Feel the sunshine
The weight on your mind
Just puts cracks in your spine
Pick yourself up
It takes time
Chorus
