1. PROTEST SONG # 00

Well some things never change...
You'll never see this face again
I'm out sleeping with the stars in the shallow end.
Life, love is just a word I don't want to say,
I don't care if tomorrow is a new day.
I'll write the song again,
How about the one who thought life wasn't his friend?
Why would he want the words to be shared?
When no one listens, and no one cares.
I'd skip this fucking song
If you don't want to know what's fucking wrong.
Did you hear my acceptance speech?
I quit. I quit. I fucking quit."
You don't want to know why i can't quite talk.
You don't want to know what makes my heart stop.
You wrote my requiem
With no words, no life, just desperation.
There's no truth like the lie I live
I'm a sinking ship drowning by a burning bridge.
There's no cure for the "Dreamer's Disease"
I'm a boat of false hope, lost at sea.
Today, tonight, tomorrow,
I am truly by myself.

You don't want to know why I can't quite talk.
You don't want to know what makes my heart stop.

You say those fucking words, but what the fuck do they mean ? Nothing.
Life is just a word that I won't say.
Love is just a word that I'll never know.
Life is just a game that I wont play.
Love is just a lie that I wont believe.


2. SORE-THROAT SYNDROME

When we were young, we thought the days would get better.
Today I talked myself out of ending this.
I've been out chasing silhouettes, losing frozen smiles to A thousand regrets.
And all the way home, I could see your breath though we Looked dead.
"I'm so far from here..."
We laughed.
"Our time is running thin."
But I always knew how the end would end.
I never said I'd stay to the end.
Fuck you, fuck all of you.
You'll never know what I wanted to say.
Those words are as dead as the air I breathe.
Life is just a big second guess, a broken staircase of Mistook steps...
You can trust me, it's not okay...


3. FUCK WHAT FIREWORKS STAND FOER

I just want the world to know,
You've got me at an all Time low.
But I wrote the song that broke your fucking heart.
I'm caught up in no sleep and I nod my head with every Tear but they're still drowning me.
It's cold and I can barely see, and 5 AM is here again so Hang your head with me.

I was walking next to you in a saturday night-type light.
The faces blurred in with yours as I stumbled some words On life...
I was breathing thanks to you in a saturday night-type Light.
And when the faceless kids danced towards faceless ends
I quit life.

"I can't believe that you're not dead"
Shrugged my shoulders, laughed inside, nodded my head.

And I don't remember anything but seven songs of chances Gone, that's all I know.

Anytime you want to go, I'm ready to go.
Nothing shines on "feeling old" this isn't right.
All I want is a reason to smile before I'm dead, I'm dead, I live in denial.
There's nothing left inside of me.
You say there's more but I don't fucking care.


4. ICE AGE IS COMING

A cold world is one where you think hope's alive.
Where "friends" aren't really "friends", where love can't survive.
A cold world is one where life takes your life, where day After day is a fight after fight.
This world has made me cold, but I know, you've got to Break your back to hold your ground,
And bones will heal, so I'm standing strong.
It hurts.
It breaks.
It kills.
It takes.
We'll fight.
We'll win.
We won't give in.


5. PLEASE DIE !

I won't go because I've been there before,
And it took twenty years to pick my face up off the floor.
I'm not "sorry" if "things" aren't the "same"
But sleepless nights are hardly worth the cheapness of Your game.
And if you know what I mean then live for yourself,
Because life is too short to waste it on somebody else.
There was a time, and I swear that I cared...
I gor burned, and now I walk with this fist in the air.
I don't care what they say,
They're not the ones who have to live with the pain.
Black heart breaking, broken bonds.
I should have known all along.
Don't talk to me.
I'm as deaf as I am blind.
Thanks for making me cheap, and thanks for the wasted time.


6. DAY THE MUSIC DIED

Never thought the world was going to end...
Always knew I'd come across your face again.
Still healing broken hearts and holding broken bones...
Singing taps off-key and breaking quiet phones...
You dont know what youve got until you're left all alone.
See the strain in my bloodshot eyes?
I'm a hollow box, empty as your lies...
And I know I can't live,
Because the price that I pay will be the love that I give.
Nothing hurts like that look in your eyes
Fuck the day I thought love was more than a lie
I only die every day
Sit alone count the no's of the yesterdays...
Those seven days sure made me weak
And when im dead and gone, shed a tear, bless my memory
But I can't go on...
All I want in these dying days is a breath of fresh air, And some sanity
But nothings ever good enough, so I'll take a sad song Sure enough...
The feeling I'm feeling is a feeling
I've felt for far too long...
The feeling I'm feeling is a feeling
I've fought for far too long.


7. FAREWELL

Whatever this becomes
Whatever words I say
We are the fortunate ones...
And when the days are done
I won't forget
All I see in you and me
Is a light in the dark of humanity
And when the days are done
I won't forget
Timid steps, come walk with me
And with your useless words
Come talk to me
There are broken hearts
Now on your stereo
But the broken beats are just too slow
You'll cry, it doesn't change a thing
Kill the lights, and let the rain fall
Recall, the memories
Of yesterdays and better ways
And know, the innocence is gone...
Move on, from this day on
We'll never be the same...
The saddest songs
Make sense to me...
So with your sunken eyes
Come look for me
Two hour drives
Are two hours alone
But two hour drives
Are better than home
You'll die, it doesn't change a thing
You will, kill the lights
And let the rain fall, recall
The memories of yesterdays
And better ways
And know, the innocence is gone...
Move on, from this day on
We'll never be the same...
Faster words, and faster kids
Faster songs, and faster ends
The one thing that's stayed the same...
I've lived through days
I've lived through nights
I've had my loves
I've had my fights
You gotta know, you have my heart.
