1. YSIF

Hello, you bastards!

[Backwards:]
And farther you suck in full


2. TAIPEI PERSON / ALLAH TEA

Haha, yeah

We cast a long shadow, sucking all the cold beneath
But there's a reason
A killer is a lover with a knife in its teeth
We can settle in the dust and cave
Raise your hands if you want to be saved
In the middle is the bottom of me
A Taipei person drinking Allah Tea, go!

We live (we live), we die (we die), we never wonder why
It's not (it's not), too late (too late), to fight the hands of fate

Well you can only scream your heart out over and over for so long
Before you know it, you're gonna lose your fucking mind
So don't love (don't love), don't hate - everybody's dying baby I feel great
I'm running out of road but I'm still doing 75

Mellow traumatic, ooh, looking like a Ponzi scheme
You're so sentimental, all the weight of the worlds you've created are weak
I am the voice of a rude generation
A middle finger for the middle class invasion
At the bottom is the only real me
A Taipei person drinking Allah Tea, go!

We want (we want), we need (we need), we punish just to bleed
We know (we know) this plea (this plea) we bite the hand that feeds

Well you can only scream your heart out over and over for so long
Before you know it, you're gonna lose your fucking mind
So don't love (don't love), don't hate - everybody's dying baby I feel great
I'm running out of road but I'm still doing seventy...

Force the pass, divorce the castration
Another panic in a major population
Run the course, the coarseness of a bastard
We're in the eyes of a beautiful disaster

Go!

We live (we live), we die (we die), we never wonder why
It's up (it's up), to me (to me) to bite the hands that feed
We want (we want), we need (we need), we punish just to bleed
We scream (we scream), this plea, type A personality

Well you can only scream your heart out over and over for so long
Before you know it, you're gonna lose your fucking mind
So don't love (don't love), don't hate - everybody's dying baby I feel great
I'm running out of road but I'm still doing 75

Still doing 75
Yeah!
Still doing 75
Yeah!
Still doing 75

Hahaha, I don't know how you do it, dude


3. KNIEVEL HAS LANDED

Every time I fall, I'm a little less me and a little bit more you
And everywhere I go, there's a little less there and a little bit more to lose
Did you ever wonder why?
I can't decide if I'm a little bit dead or a little bit guarded
Cause even when I try, you and I are a little less there and just discarded

If we collapse
Under all the weight
Of our self-importance
What if it's too late

I threw it all away
It doesn't make it better
Why am I the ostracized?
Maybe I can change
If I put it back together
If I'm right then I don't want to know

Even if I could, I'll never be free from a little bit more than this
It won't do any good, any other way is a little bit more to risk
But I say "Fuck it, risk it!"

If we collapse
Only time will tell
Obey the same disorders
And ride your ass to hell

I threw it all away
It doesn't make it better
Why am I the ostracized?
Maybe I can change
If I put it back together
If I'm right then I don't want to know

I threw it all away
It doesn't make it better
Why am I the ostracized?
Maybe I can change
If I put it back together
If I'm right then I don't want to know
Then I don't want to know
I don't want to know
Know, know, know


4. HYDROGRAD

Don't come over, I don't want your company
I think you ought to spend a little bit of time alone
You say you don't need it, but damn, I know you got to have it
I'll tell you why, it's stronger when it's on its own

Ooh, I got eleven on the inside
This hell is nothing new
If there's a heaven on the other side
You better pray I don't get through

I'm not better than you, I'm just better
I've been fighting just to breathe my whole damn life
What do you think you know and what do you want to know?
I never thought I'd let the truth tell all my lies...
My lies, yeah

Ooh, I got eleven on the inside
This hell is nothing new
If there's a heaven on the other side
You better pray I don't get through

Bleeding for the savages
You bill me for the damages
When you're dealing with the devil
You know you got to watch your back
Stack, ya thick, ya slick
They pull you in a killer embrace
To your face
You can trust 'em, love 'em
Until you start to turn it away
And then they throw it all away

Ooh, I got eleven on the inside
This hell is nothing new
If there's a heaven on the other side
You better pray I don't get through

Ooh, I got eleven on the inside
This hell is nothing new
If there's a heaven on the other side
You better pray I don't get through


5. SONG #3

If you take a step towards me
You will take my breath away
So I'll keep you close and keep my secret safe

No one else has ever loved me
No one else has ever tried
I never understood how much I could take

Then I saw the worst was over
When I laid my eyes on you
It was all that I could do to know my place

Out of all the vast illusions
Out of all the dreams come true
I was gone until I finally saw your face

If you cried out for more
If you reached out for me
I would run into the storm
Just to keep you here with me
I have gone beyond my years
I've wasted half my life
But I found it all in you
Did I save you?
'Cause I know you saved me too

Let me take a step towards you
Let me feel you in my hands
Let me cross this line and show you where it leads

There's a darkness down inside me
That I know we'll both enjoy
And it's screaming from within to set it free

I have left this bloody nightmare
In my wake but out of sight
All I want is deviation by design

Out of all the past confusion
Out of all the common spite
Just tell me I am yours 'cause you are mine

And if you cried out for more
If you reached out for me
I would run into the storm
Just to keep you here with me
I have gone beyond my years
I've wasted half my life
But I found it all in you
Did I save you?
'Cause I know you saved me too

It doesn't really matter what you do or say
I'm never going anywhere anyway
'Cause when I'm dying for you
I've never felt so alive

If you cried out for more
If you reached out for me
I would run into the storm
Just to keep you here with me
I have gone beyond my years
I've wasted half my life
But I found it all in you
Did I save you?
'Cause I know you saved me too

I know you saved me too


6. FABULESS

I can't recall the last time I was caught between the walls
Those razors in the pillowcases seem to cut em all, but…
Old foes, dead things, take a toll…
Remember, it's just a game

Been a long time since I rock and rolled
It's only rock and roll but I like it, like it
Don't talk-walk, don't feel-real
Don't stay-say, you'll need it anyway

Oh it's my own damn fault, I guess it's good to be the enemy
That don't mean it ain't so bad, bad, bad
Because it's all down hill from here, it's all down hill from here
Motherfucker, it's all down hill from here
It's all down hill, you can't get home from here

Your beast is just a burden that you never keep in line
This "fabulous" is really less, hmm, gets em every time
You roll your eyes for money
Don't act like you're impressed
You spread your legs for TV time
Baby… who fucks you best?

Been a long time since I rock and rolled
It's only rock and roll but I like it, like it
Don't talk-walk, don't feel-real
Don't stay-say, you'll need it anyway

Oh it's my own damn fault, I guess it's good to be the enemy
That don't mean it ain't so bad, bad, bad
Because it's all down hill from here, it's all down hill from here
Motherfucker, it's all down hill from here
It's all down hill, you can't get home from here

[Solo]

Oh it's my own damn fault, I guess it's good to be the enemy
That don't mean it ain't so bad, bad, bad
Oh maybe when you fall, you'll make peace with your gravity
We all know it drives you mad, mad, mad
Because it's all down hill from here, it's all down hill from here
Motherfucker, it's all down hill from here
It's all down hill from here, motherfucker
You can't get home from here, you can't get home from here
Motherfucker, you can't get home from here
You can't get home from here


7. THE WITNESS TREES

I don't know what I need
I'm scared of life, I'm scared of what it means to me
This broken home is just not what it used to be
Too fast to slow me down
Too loud to drown me out

I doubt I'll ever get this close to what I was
Because I've seen the grand design, hold on
I hope you talk about the future when I'm gone
But if I'm wrong I know the reason why

I, I can't feel anything
I can't feel anything that's under my control
I, I won't do anything
I won't do anything that's out of my control

I can see myself
Extended past the limits of my cry for help
I don't believe I've ever come this way before
So why do I know my way?

What do I have to say and do
To drain that look of shame away from you?
I knew we'd never find our peace, hold on
I hope you celebrate the best before I'm gone
But if I'm wrong I'll know that it was me

I, I can't feel anything
I can't feel anything that's under my control
I, I won't do anything
I won't do anything that's out of my, out of my control

I don't know what you need
I'm scared of love, I'm scared of what it means to me
This empty house is burning down around me
So cold I don't know why

So much for holding out
I hope I suffocate before I let you choke
On words you know I'd never say, oh no, don't go
I want you to destroy me one more time
So when I die I know you really loved me

I, I can't feel anything
I can't feel anything that's under my control
I, I won't do anything
I won't do anything that's out of my, out of my control

Out of my control, yeah


8. ROSE RED VIOLENT BLUE (THIS SONG IS DUMB & SO AM I)

Excuse me, oh pardon me, I'm
Still sticky on the inside
There comes a time when all I do
Is sit around in contemplation
And curse my situation
I'm just too bored for normal use
Be careful of what you wish for
Impossible to just ignore
One last time is all I need
To get my laughing stocks in order
They're on the rise this quarter
Beware of certain friends
Who sell you out when everything is free

I know what I am to all of you
And I've got all these other things to do
To do

Open up and know enough I'm overused
Everyone I've ever loved is easily amused
Go ahead and tell the dead it's only you
But I am much too old
I am much too old
I am much too old now

Imagine this chaos theory
Makes all the profits leery
Somebody's showing them the ropes
We used to hang ourselves with
Instead of quiet respite
We choose the noose in lieu of hope
Oh rose red, oh violent blue
I should've seen the clues but
This song is dumb and so am I
Character assassinations
Are really observations
Stay home and ask yourself
Why am I so low when I'm so high?
So high

Open up and know enough I'm overused
Everyone I've ever loved is easily amused
Go ahead and tell the dead it's only you
But I am much too old
I am much too old
I am much too old now

Yeah

Come on

Open up and know enough I'm overused
Everyone I've ever loved is easily amused
Go ahead and tell the dead it's only you
But I am much too old
I am much too old
I am much too old


9. THANK GOD IT'S OVER

None of us are innocent
We take what we can get
It doesn't matter if it hurts, I get back down
Greedy little prodigies
Disposable celebrities
Another social disease, another pitiful now

Don't talk, he just won't listen
Don't worry, oh you gotta wait and see

I'll get what's coming to me
Thank God it's over
I'm gonna get what's coming to me
Now that the worst is over
I'm gonna get what's coming to... me!

Bleeding up the bitterness
Balance your common sense
Why am I the only one who's never afraid?
I never wanted to eliminate
A generation that can't be saved
Don't believe it, you're the fucking ones to blame

Don't try, it just won't happen
Don't worry, oh you gotta wait and see

I'll get what's coming to me
Thank God it's over
I'm gonna get what's coming to me
Now that the worst is over
I'm gonna get what's coming to me
Thank God it's over
I'm gonna get what's coming to me
Now that the worst is over
I'm gonna get what's coming to me

I'm gonna get what's coming to me
Thank God it's over
I'm gonna get what's coming to me
Now that the worst is over
I'm gonna get what's coming to me
I'm gonna get what's coming to me
I'm gonna get what's coming to...


10. ST. MARIE

Oh July
It's better off since April died
I can see September through the trees
And I can't lie
There's more to know than what's inside
Maybe there's some reason in my memories
But all I know
It's easier to love you when I'm gone
But it's hard for me to leave
I don't know
This anger isn't helping anyone
And I don't know what I need

Oh St. Marie
Close my eyes before you leave
So I don't have to look at you in shame
Oh St. Marie
Take my hand and give me peace
'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same

Here come the broken hearts
Just as the music starts
One by one they testify
I never did enough
I never cared enough
Even though I stood, I always ran away
We all wonder why
It's easier to blame the ones you love
'Cause it's harder to believe
That we fall sometimes
No matter how I try, I've given up
But now I have a chance to be

Oh St. Marie
Close my eyes before you leave
So I don't have to look at you in shame
Oh St. Marie
Take my hand and give me peace
'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same

Sometimes the quiet ones
Are all I want to be
There's only so much left
The rest is up to me
You're all I'll ever want
I hope you feel it 'cause
As far as I'm concerned
You're exactly what I need

Oh St. Marie
Close my eyes before you leave
So I don't have to look at you in shame
Oh St. Marie
Take my hand and give me peace
'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same
'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same
'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same


11. MERCY

My best is pointless, outrun but I'll never win
This state of conflict, makes sense, don't think about it
I ran away when I was 15, I was dead by 17
I know the world owes me everything
I'm gonna take it, I'm gonna make it

Walking on the warmer stones
Going nowhere, now I'm here
Not a name for what I am
I guess I'm just another demon of mercy

All talk, no action, completely incomplete
Why wish me well when I know exactly what you think?
I came alive when I was 18, you forget, I'm everything
I know the world owes me nothing
So I'll take it, if I can make it

Walking on the warmer stones
Going nowhere, now I'm here
Not a name for what I am
Your god's a weapon, he blessed every bullet
Walking on the warmer stones
Going nowhere, now I'm here
Not a name for what I am
I guess I'm just another demon of mercy

Tell me anything, tell me anything
Overrated and under-appreciated
Anything, tell me anything
Before you know it, you'll be...

Walking on the warmer stones
Going nowhere, now I'm here
Not a name for what I am
Your god's a weapon, he blessed every bullet
Walking on the warmer stones
Going nowhere, now I'm here
Not a name for what I am
I guess I'm just another demon of mercy


12. WHIPLASH PANTS

Looking around I can see what's going on
By the way, it didn't take too long
What ya do while I was on the line?
Spend your free time wasting mine
Living in the chaos, sleeping in the shit
Evidence proves that you don't really get it
When you're finished just taking up space
Wipe that face off your goddamn face and

Smile
Everybody seems to think it's too soon to think but
Smile
Someday you'll have to stand on your own two feet, so...

Sometimes you think you know it all
Until you find you never knew a thing (never knew a thing)
You never knew a thing (never knew a thing)
Just when you think you have it all
Then you find you never had a thing (never had a thing)
You see the door but you leave with nothing

You could be the one on duty
Time to wake up, sleeping beauty
Fucking around all day
The house gives and it taketh away
Walking in the pig sty, running on the coals
You're gonna love it when your luck unfolds
Nobody there to provide you, ride you
Clean you up and gently remind you

Smile
Everybody does everything and anything for you
Smile
You better be prepared when we start to ignore you

Sometimes you think you know it all
Until you find you never knew a thing (never knew a thing)
You never knew a thing (never knew a thing)
Just when you think you have it all
Then you find you never had a thing (never had a thing)
You see the door but you leave with nothing

Come get your shit
Come get your shit
Come and get your shit
Come get your shit

Have I ever told ya anything that never came true?
Motherfucker, yeah I'm talking to you
You think you're getting through and making a dent
But same shit different damn event
Go ahead, keep it up, see if I care
What do I know, I've only already been there
Do what you want but you better be fast
Hard to see the world with your head up your ass, so...

Smile
Everybody's gonna know that you're in over your head
Smile
'Cause you never fucking listen to a word we've said

Sometimes you think you know it all
Until you find you never knew a thing (never knew a thing)
You never knew a thing (never knew a thing)
Just when you think you have it all
Then you find you never had a thing (never had a thing)
You never had a thing (never had a thing)
Sometimes you think you know it all (sometimes you think you know it all)
Until you find you never knew a thing (never knew a thing)
You never knew a thing (never knew a thing)
Just when you think you have it all (just when you think you have it all)
Then you find you never had a thing (never had a thing)

Before you fucking leave
Come get your shit
Come get your shit
Come and get your shit
Come get your shit
Fuck


13. FRIDAY KNIGHTS

These visions in your vapor make you more and less
Keeping chaos is a chore today
But that murder in your sorrow bellows smoke and death
I wonder what the neighbors... will think of to say?

Thunderstorms, banging on my windows
Chloroform, sticking to my face and then
Careful now, a symbol is a promise
Going down, going down in flames

Before the crash
We get you home
It's nothing serious
It's just the space between the sword and stone

Only the ones left over
Will ever get it right
We all know (know)
We know the riddle but the answer is mine
Cause only the ones left over
Will ever get it right
We all know (know)
We know the future is another Friday knight

Exquisite in absentia and divine inside
Can your differences come out to play?
When did all the heroes take the goddamn blame?
When did all the villains... catch all the breaks?

Thunderstorms, banging on my windows
Chloroform, sticking to my face and then
Careful now, a symbol is a promise
Going down, going down in flames again

Only the ones left over
Will ever get it right
We all know (know)
We know the riddle but the answer is mine
Cause only the ones left over
Will ever get it right
We all know (know)
We know the future is another Friday knight

Yeah

Soft quotation never sounds as real
Confrontation always makes you feel

Before the crash
We get you home
It's nothing serious
It's just the space between the sword and stone

Only the ones left over
Will ever get it right
We all know (know)
We know the riddle but the answer is mine
Cause only the ones left over
Will ever get it right
We all know (know)
We know the future is another Friday knight


14. SOMEBODY STOLE MY EYES

Waiting for the end of the world - stop!
We know just what to do
Sitting in the back, ready to rat
Fuck this, fuck that and fuck you too
Gods and monsters, what do you need?
Can't wait to watch you bleed
Putting on my blue suede shoes
And dancing on your fucking grave

Who said?
You'll feel me in the end
Just then
Somebody stole my eyes again

I am a rock 'n roll Han Solo, the only one around
I am a bastard and a scoundrel shooting first and going down
The Anime arithmetic will show you what I mean
Turning septicemic from the shit that's in between

Repent!
We haven't seen you since
But then
It's upside down again
I know
It's only fluid
The devil made me do it
But God could've stopped me

I know it's only after midnight
We've still got time to have a good fight
So hit me back with all you can
I know it's only what you wanted
Love's so much better when you're hunted
Somebody stole my eyes again
Somebody stole my eyes

Running around about, nothing around about
Looking around I can't see
What in the world am I, how did I ever die
Something I loved is now dead
What is wrong with you? Coming to see you soon
I can hardly wait
Murder another man, killer of Caliban
Catatonic state

I know it's only after midnight
We've still got time to have a good fight
So hit me back with all you can
I know it's only what you wanted
Love's so much better when you're hunted
Somebody stole my eyes again
Stole my eyes

Rob me blind


15. WHEN THE FEVER BROKE

I wish I could be your last goodbye
I wish I was your man
But I'm not, not even close to not
Not even close to might have been
I guess I'll keep disappointing you
I guess I'll miss the mark again
I guess I'm sorry
I have this tombstone quality
I wish that you could see me here
I wish that you could feel me here

I don't want to be the only one to stay for me
Look what you've said and done for me
No one in the world has a voice that speaks to me
Hear what you've said and done to me

This morning when the fever broke
I closed my eyes and laughed
Thinking I can't go home again
I can't go home again

I know I'm not what I used to be
I know I've rearranged my head
This is life, just keeps on chasing us around
Until it catches you, you're dead
They say I'm not right every god damn night
That's why I keep it to myself
That's why I'm sorry
I have this tombstone quality
I know you'll never see me here
I know you'll never feel me here

I don't want to be the only one to stay for me
Look what you've said and done for me
No one in the world has a voice that speaks to me
Hear what you've said and done to me

Tomorrow when the fever breaks
I'll close my eyes and laugh
I can't go home again
I can't go home again

I can't go, I can't go home
I can't go, I can't go home
I can't go, I can't go home
I can't go, I can't go home
I can't go, I can't go home
I can't go home
