1. 1:01 I laughed out loud Cuz you walked right passed me now you didnt care or wave back At me and your friend was Staring me down I got so sick of being stepped on now I'm doing fine Because I got away From feelin kind Sometimes I just get so angry For no reason when you say That you are happy and successful And I'm just lying to pass the time Did you give a shit about me When I lost my mind Or were you making fun Of me behind Behind my back I shouldn't care All the people laugh and stare They are all obsessed With my brain I'm not insane Take a shot to kill the pain Just like you Ive got no welcome mat But I don't burn my bridges Cmon dude... fuck that

Just a week ago I kissed you goodbye I didn't know it would be for the very last time cant see you anymore, and I feel the lonely cold again his fingers run up and down and you scream and i cry . I dont even know why, I couldn't even go to sleep if i wanted to. I think im losing my mind, i think youre one of a kind... Are you alive? I'm breathing but i feel dead inside. please give gimme more space I'm on a wicked pace. I won't change and I haven't given up yet so tie me up to a post and beat me senseless til blood is let. I haven't heard from you yet you sent me on my way when the things were looking gray if i told you then before it was too late on the phone that the time has come and gone so here I'm on my own. I think youre one of a kind, and now its trouble i find, yeah Too Soon? Said Who? That was me? It couldn't be...

I hate myself again Why do I always lose all my friends? I guess this is the end I just wanted something real and not pretend I guess you say I'm just a fool I'm not another useless tool You think you can tell me who I am But I know I don't give a damn I was raised to be Not this guy you see This is just a result of All the things I did No longer a kid Just some average kind dumb peaceful adult I'm out of luck tonight Don't have drugs to make me feel alright I'm scared of makin plans Fear of failure's what my brain demands Its so hard to feel okay I disrespect and disobey Every law they try to pass This empire can kiss my ass We are fighting for Just a little more Than you're wanting to see We might disagree On the subject but At least I don't have a shred of hate in my Heart Attack I'm gonna look back On the way it was back then (and not how it is) Its a poison for your soul and a Lack of self control and its Gonna drag you down to hell Believe it or not this is What you got and you are Not gonna like the truth You spit another line And then they snort another line they are wasting up all of their youth Beauty in life is all around us but theres A wicked vicious nightmare creeping outta the closet A Twoheaded beast playing a fucked up game We're in a battle and a struggle but for them its for the fame

Flashback 04:40
1 - Sitting in the traffic is driving me insane - I drag myself to work again I need to kill the pain All this mental traffic is murdering my brain- I can't find a solution and its clogging up the lanes Feeling like a kid in here - I'm full of sweat and dripping fear - From all the hatred spewing around - lost in a daze I can't be found I'm flying down the highway - I'm starting straight ahead - My vision isn't lost but I'm feeling pretty dead My radio is blaring - A Bad Religion song - Pumps into me an exlixir Keeps my mind and body strong I wonder what its like to be - A boring simple man - To feel like you don't need to be All that you possibly can 1 Gotta just make it through this - Tired phase - Because I never sleep much anymore these days Gotta just keep on fighting - Through the pain - Kill the depression with a hit - of mary jane 2 Then it all just seems to come back to me - Like a flashback to 2013 All these nightmares won't go away - Its better to stay awake Another dream - Failing at a scheme - Bad at saving money - barely scraping up the green I hate this place - Pacific rhythms are the best - the cold is bitter winters - aren't so bad out in the west Let the caffeine take ahold of me - You can't get sad when the - coffee won't let you Chemical dependency isn't so bad when its better than being bummed 1 Get up on out of here is - What I need Make a change of scenery to - Clear the dread Gotta just keep on thinking - Positive Because its easy to get Stuck inside your head 2 Chug a pot - Its all youve got to Win this day Keep alive - Don't let it fall - a part You can do - whatever you want - when the clouds are grey Your suffering will stop killing you - today --- No I can't stop the flashback Please just stop this flashback Repetitions a fuckin bitchslap Memories like this they just won't go AWAY Won't go away And it all just seems to come back to me Like a flashback to 2013 All these nightmares won't go away Its better to stay awake yeah Awake yeah Its the same old shit I'm sick of it

Stuck Up 03:21
Daydreaming of a world without indoctrination Stuck in a daze with never ending stimulation I can see the fires burning all across the nation So many years I'm working without a vacation I am not sure We won't blow it today theres Absolutely no Reason to delay So I walked outside And I found the truth There wasn't anything Under that roof I didn't know myself Until I found you Then I knew right then That we were fireproof Will you please tell me that your fine I'm sick of worrying all the time Theres a pretty good chance That I'm a step away from cracking up These monsters telling people how they should Live their life I wish they'd shut up There is no perspective and there isn't Any reference If you live in the suburbs from day 1 You won't have any common sense Can we stop them From forcing us to pray Dealing ultimatums Like theres no other way Can we turn around We need to fix this mess I'm getting sick and tired Under all this stress If we slip and fall And the world burns down It won't matter then With the love we found Its really easy to believe In something that you'll never see These problems are All intertwined The imbalance Will make you blind To reality It'll set you free When you just let go Of the things you don't need Well I'm well aware You think that I don't care And it might be true But I don't need to swear An allegiance to Your school of thought I'll never put my faith Into a broken rotten Steaming pile of shit outdated Generating hate inflated Egotistic aggravated

Wake up everyday I chug some listerine, I'm so mean (to myself) well I'm pickin it up and pickin it up and I drop it on the scene its not clean its the pills and Mr. Pibb are pushin me, so dirty my brain is full of shit and my ass is totally clean, too keen I guess it makes sense just to go by and walk around the town like I'm in the sky Nothing can hold me down, no, not anymore Filling up the tank just to drive to work I'm hanging out by myself and I'm a jerk Whats keeping me down is not a mystery We are all the same I'm pissing on my shame Cuz I don't care anymore Stop your arrogance your a misogynist and I'm for equality the message gets too strong You will hate me for this song I sit and wonder why I used to be such a nice guy Right back here where I started all over again , in 10 Gotta get out fast because I'm tired of living pretend, this den I'm held inside a prison and its feeling like I'm stuck, no luck It was working for a while but now It seems like I am fucked I got chucked the crux of the moment wasting the time Looking out the window while I'm yelling inside No one can hear you scream internally JUST GO Take a car drive a van do whatever you can Your not a dumb white trash American You can make this work just stop the bullshit show We are all the same Playing video games cus we are all dead inside Stop with your nonsense you're being racist and I'm for equality I refuse to sing along To a boring happy poppy song Radio friendly disease Brainwashing ignorance so Scream everything you hear into a biased politicians ear you will never take it from me Because I set myself Free from all the Lies and deciept Dwelling on Unecessary Get rid of this sarcasm Or am I just trying way too hard. We are all the same I don't care for fame This is all clear to me Superiority Lets curb authority The system is broke and I cannot sleep swallowed by apathy endless stimulation living in anarchy

Its 5am and she knows she has to wake up Alarm clock reminder that the degree wasn't quite enough Gotta seize the day Theres no other way You need to have the money for That damn rent you have to pay No one is going to help her There is no escape from the bad Thoughts inside her head Its torture Repeating all the mistakes what a tragedy our culture makes Its 5pm and shes makin dinner for the kids They don't know why they're eating mac and cheese instead of ribs Forgetting all of the pain With a bottle of wine Won't be reading lullabies to them there is no time No one is going to save her She doesn't need some hero Though the thought is Nice he couldn't Stay to be a kind caring dad It was an empty love they had All I ask is Save yourself from total self destruction Do what you need to maintain your main function No matter what I say its probably too late to take it easy please just play it safe

Sobriety 03:18
Hanging out at Quenchers I got nowhere else to go Sitting at the bar in the middle of Chicago Never thought I'd even see myself in here again A band is playing grunge and I am drifitng off Do they Even know who I am Should I Care or try to get to know them Phones at 2% now I've got a healthy buzz Do a shot of jack then no more alcohol because I got 20 bucks left and I've had enough drink I need to have a moment I can't hear myself think its So damn hard to have a good time When the whiskey mixes with wine I will carry this pain with me I was scared and I was angry Doesn't make much sense to hide this You were there to be my comfort ing Back in the motel I took a shower in the dark We got up drove around and headed to some skater park The memories come flashing back to me a movie scene They told me I was ill and my behavior was obscene its High time for some meditation With self prescribed medi cation I don't need it I don't want it Take it from me I'm fine without it Locked inside of a cage I don't even know my own age I will carry this pain with me I was scared and I was angry Doesn't make much sense to hide this You were there to be my comfort There will always be tomorrow We can breathe and feel no sorrow Where you go it doesn't matter that that you were once a big disaster Yeah I know how it feels to be all alone In a dark cold place where you can't even call it home It isn't easy to swallow our reality So fuck that shit and have another drink with me
