- Abandon Ship Or Abandon All Hope
Don’t make a sound, it’s time to throw it into lockdown
Watch me knock down this mess that I’ve gotten myself into for a small commission
I’ll show you how
If you just get off the ground
You’ve got to move a little faster
To make it out of this disaster before you get factored out
Turn the page another line I should have saved
- Bad News Bearz
You've got some bad news.
You've just got bad news, written allover you.
Everybody's gonna get down low, get on the floor,
Dance til you just can't dance no more.
You've got bad news written allover you.
So you think you've got me now.
Well the jury's hung on every word.
- Baseball Bats And Boogeymen
Is this the end of it?
Where smiles and tortured faces collide
With the smell of your hair
In the air subsides into fragrances of
Occupied spaces
And passion took our insides.
On highland, I hear the steps of underdogs
- Beatdown In The Key Of Happy
Hit the pavement and drive for the first time in a long time
And pray that everything works out fine
She said try to have a good time
And get your fill of cheap thrills
And try anything to save a dime
So lets get moving, and lets get grooving
To every single word weve grown to know
Until we get car sick, play our hands quick
- Beep Beep
Were always off and on
Dont tell me Im wrong
Im only making and breaking
The ties that did not belong in the first place
But in your case
Really you should brace yourself
And trace your steps
Back to the time we thought that
- Brain Pain
Watch me fail, watch me strugglecreeping forward as straight as an arrowSmash it all, catch me when I fallFeel the rain, feel the thunderAll the chaos is dragging me underShoulder the blame, hang my head in shameI wish that I could focus my hopeless wandering mindI'm losing perspective, tearing out all my insidesLooking in from the outsideWhat's the point? What's the purpose?All this attention is making me nervousClear the air, watch them disappearKeep it simple, shake the doubtJust surrender myself to the soundRefuse to be a part of the great machine

Pinch me, I'm dreaming
Smash it all, catch me when I fall
- Bullet With Butterfly Wings
The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do i get, for my pain
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
Even though i know-i suppose i'll show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
- Catastrophe
You’re always running around with everyone else but me
You’re such a catastrophe
Hold on, you’ve been running around so long
And soon I’ll be gone
You’ve got to build it up and then break down
Give it a taste and drop your jaw to the ground
Then you’ll know what to do and we’ll pick it up
Pick it up and give it right back to you
- Crazy Pills
Someone tell me if I'm going crazy
or if the rattling in my head

- Easier To Wait And See
We'll see who finally has the last laugh
Oh baby do not just sit and cry
Well I know you never wanted long term
I'm bored and getting to wondering why
I left you messages screaming, "Please be home!"
And you're not there, I'm miserable... I'm miserable
Come and find me
- Falling on You
I never did things by the book
If you don’t trust me then you’ll just have to take a look
I’ve got a different plan for me
Just wait around and then you’ll see
I’m taken on the world
I’m taken on the world
- Fight The Future
The world is changing but you can’t fight the past
Hold your breath, it keeps advancing
You know it’s hanging just out of your grasp
You reach out but it’s too far gone
Call it chaos or disbelief,
I won’t become a double standard
Plead your case, but make it brief
- Find My Way Back
I can't believe what this is doing to me
I've seen so many cities
Fall down to their knees
I'm begging you, please
Don't bury me underneath their crumbled walls
My barren thoughts weigh heavier
Than the weight of our demands
- Flannel Is The Color Of My Energy
I think I'm having a heart attack
A full blown arrest of the cardiac
Got to get it under control
Cause this whole thing's gonna take me down
Still I'm bound to end up six feet under the ground
Under the ground
And I'll take you with me if I go down
- Go Long Dad
Leave it up to me to mix business with pleasure
But were not getting any younger
And it leads me to wonder shouldnt I be getting
Something out of this
Something I should have missed when Im without her.
What the hell are you waiting for?
Its all for you or its all for nothing
- Gotta Get Out
I just wanna save myself
I don't care about anyone else.
Bet you're gonna be just fine,
And I just might
Sweat it out, sweat it out.
'Cuz I'm not going anywhere
I've gotta get outta here
- Heaven Wasn't Built To Hold Me
They sink down deeper
While still dodging the creeper
Of the blue collar classic motif
Let it fall into the sea
With your perfect posture
Still a crooked spine
While the flume you protect starts to leak
- Heroes Get Remembered, Legends Never Die
Oh, something tells me
I'm never gone live this one down
But I'll try
I'm gonna need a quick hand,
A sharp eye, a smooth talker
Just to play this one out to the very end.
And this is where you come in
- Heroes Get Remembered,Legends Never Die
Oh, something tells me
I'm never gone live this one down
But I'll try

A sharp eye, a smooth talker
Just to play this one out to the very end.
And this is where you come in
- Ironic
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
- It Must Really Suck To Be Four Year Strong Right Now
I'm a mess such a wreck don't forget about it
I drag myself through the dirt just to feel a little closer to the ground
Because I've always had my head up in the clouds
Take a second and look down
I've got my name on a string
.. Never likes despite the fact that they are working
I live my life on the line to find a way to be unforgettable
- It's Cool

- Just Drive
We live in a time bomb that's ticking down
The red and green wires have faded to brown
There's no way of knowing if we'll survive
But 'til we hit zero I'm going to try
It could all end tomorrow
so let's live it up tonight
- Learn to Love the Lie
I wish it was just another dayAnother ordinary, nothing extraordinary,Just a boring Sunday morningWhen doing nothing's the only something we've got plannedBut not todayWere falling apart and its showing that werebasically just trapped in captivityWishing our way outJust Let me cross my fingers behind my backand I'll swear on anything you want me to after thatI've heard that if I cross my heart then I'd have to dieIf you don't want to say goodbyethen I guess you'll have to learn to love the lieYou and me,. we're really nothing but enemies
pretending were not meant to beI don't want to be the one to stayI don't want to be the one that got awayAnd if I'm being honest, you couldn't get rid of me anywayI don't want to be the one to stayWhat the hell? For heavens sakeI don't want to be the one that got awayIf Massachusetts had a loyaltyI hope it wouldn't choose you over meAnd if you're wondering what keeps me up at nightIts thinking that you might be right
You and me, we're really nothing but enemies
pretending that's exactly how its supposed to be
You can say what you want about me
The old me would not apologize
You can do what you want without meIf only I could keep us from collidingOver analyzing every move we makeWe think were just surviving but slowly we were dyinguntil the rattle somehow brings us back to lifeSo lets learn to love the lie
- Living Proof of a Stubborn Youth
Try and walk a day in our shoes
With our souls worn and splitting
Our heels blistered and bleeding
From the miles and miles
of dragging around your dead weight
Take a look at what you're giving up
Is it enough to pull the pin
- Love Song
Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
You made room for me but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
- Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Hell
Keep it up like you even know how to stop
Call me up if you think that you've had enough
I'll show you two ways to bleed
If you just show me your teeth
Under those famous lips of yours
Now show me what you're working with (no that's not a secret)
Dance your way from bed to bed
- Mens Are From Mars, Women Are From Hell
Keep it up like you even know how to stop
Call me up if you think that you've had enough
I'll show you two ways to bleed
If you just show me your teeth
Under those famous lips of yours
Now show me what you're working with (no that's not a secret)
Dance your way from bed to bed
- Mouth Full of Dirt
Tipping the scales in the wrong directionBiting my tongue until it bleedsYou saw the panic washing over my faceAnd now you're watching me rinse and repeatI want you to stay but I don't want to be hereIts time for a break but the timing is not that great for meAlways expecting the worstI'm pleading my case with a mouth full of dirtHoping to bury you with every word that's left unspokenI want to feeling something, anything
And I don't need to self medicate
I'm already numbThe television doesn't hold my attentionIt only keeps me from falling asleepThe emptiness is filling up the spaceIs this reality or is it a dream?I wanted to stay but you don't want to be hereAm I too late or am I where I'm supposed to be?Stimulate me before the void annihilates me
- MYVEK
Everything is changing for the worse
I'm gonna burst
I'm gonna swallow my pride so I can spit out a verse
I wanna play in the dirt
I'm like a worm on the pavement
Drying out and baking in the sun
Lets have some fun
- On a Saturday
The face of another day
Searching of the voice of a better way
They say that it's a bad time of year to be up in arms
So we're pushing on cause we know in our hearts
It's the only way
To stay afloat with the sharks at bay
Avoid being a casualty of the circumstances
- One Step At A Time
Sometimes it's hard to say the right thing
The right way on the hardest day of your life
Breathe in breathe out, it'll be okay
Breathe in, they say the pain will fade away
And every year November gets closer
And every year it gets a little bit colder
Breathe in breathe out, it'll be okay
- Prepare To Be Digitally Manipulated
Ladies and Gentleman open up your eyes and ears and listen up! Listen up!
Calling all cars! Calling all cars! Calling all cars!
Let’s put an end to the Charade.
Show me what you’re living for.
You think it’s obvious, you’re so obvious.
I spit my teeth out on the floor.
Don’t tell me, I don’t want to know!
- Seventeen
We could have it allJust another social cannibalSearching through the rotten youth for one more scrap left on the boneCut the chordI don't even need this anymoreSo fill me up and watch me overflowYou had to know that I was built to crumbleScatter me,Pick up all the pieces, all the memoriesSo I can still remember being seventeenPack me up and put me in a time machineSo I can remember when we were seventeenYou don't intimidate meCuz I don't give a damn what you've got to sayIn one ear and out the otherI'm deaf to the soundIn the end we all pretend that the world keeps spinning around meSipping on euphoria but choking on realityClose your eyes and picture all the times we got it right
and savor the reality
- So Hot and You Sweat on it
I'm not a kid you would call a tradition
I don't live my life by the human condition
Or regard warnings or lurking suspicions
Of a life lead after dark
I'm not one to think that half the suspense is
Knowing what action has consequences
Or knowing what day is the week it really is
Not that it ever mattered.
- So Much For The Afterglow.
This is a song about Susan
This is a song about the girl next door
This is a song about the everyday occurrences
That make me feel like letting go
Yes I think we've got a problem
So much for the afterglow
So much for the afterglow
- Sparkle Motion
You can thank me
For finding out a way to turn back time
See there's this ghosts who's a friend of mine
Who always keeps me save
Until i wake up, and rise
From a hard and a shallow grave
This philosophy is killing me
- Spiderwebs
You think that we connect
That the chemistry's correct
Your words walk right through my ears
Presuming I liken' what I hear
And now I'm stuck in the
The web you're spinning
You've got me for your prey
- Stuck In The Middle
Call out all my demons
tell the I will take the fall
I'm sick of all these headaches
from banging my head against the wall
I wrap myself in cellophane
to blend into the streets
I won't tell where I'm hiding
until the blood gets to my face
- Sweet Kerosene
Believing the world revolves around you
While you are squirming like a worm
Defying the laws of recognition
To take the pill to vaccinate the germ
I'd call out your name
But I don't believe they'll ever hear me again
- Talking Myself in Circles
Talk is cheapYou caught me on another losing streakI wish you didn't have to watch me bleedAs I pick up all the pieces that are left of meTrying to look on the upside
but maybe I'm upside downI tried to fill the space between us
when we were more than just a couple miles apartGet a map, draw a line that connects You and IAnd follow it to the end to start all over againI keep repeating the same thing without any meaningJust hoping that it takes me back to the beginningI just keep talking myself in circlesTalking round and round in circlesWhat's with the attitudeHow about a little bit of gratitude?Forgive my sweet and sour point of viewbecause I already know the truth of what you think of meTrying to look on the Brightside
Maybe I'm just burnt out
- The Infected
The sun burnt out today
Tomorrow's just another day
So far away
When everything's so cold and grey
Awake in a daze
Time has seemed to change my face
Look away!
Look away!
- The Security Of The Familiar, The Tranquility Of Repetition
He walks alone, the streets deserted
He steps on every crack
He makes and home and no ones waiting to welcome him back
Who is the man in the mirror?
He wonders as he stares in the eyes of a stranger
He's looking for a way
To make it through the day
To say the worst is over
- This Body Pays the Bills
It's because I know she's a disaster
A walking mess, a master of misery
She's everything that possibly could go wrong
She'll always be a lifelong tragedy
And now I know that she's the one for me
I'm finding that I can no longer deny it
The risk of perjury
- Tonight We Feel Alive
The face of another day
Searching of the voice of a better way
They say that it's a bad time of year
To be up in arms
So we're pushing on cause we know in our hearts
It's the only way
To stay afloat with the sharks at bay
- Tread Lightly
Wait until the water breaks,
When all mistakes will rise to the surface
Decide. is it worth it,
To know that I will always feel like I'm
Holding my head under water
Keep me from taking another breath
It's a fight to the death
- Unbreakable
This is for the losers and the rejects
This is for cowards and cynics
You are the reason you're to blame
You're not going to drag me down with you
We are the one to stand our ground
We are the ones who won't back down
We are the rise but not the fall
- Wasting Time
Wasting time
All along you've just been wasting mine
Ignoring all the signs that point our way out of our prime
Draw the line
All this time you were just drawing mine
Only problem is I see no end in sight of any kind
Well I can see you're waiting
- What The Hell Is A Gigawatt
Today's the day that we start this war
Make up your mind and decide what you are fighting for
You still have so much to learn about
The decisions you make, be it so hard to break
If you can't make room for raising the stakes
You'll find yourself exposed to the fallout
And in a drawn-out series of undeniable mistakes
(The perfect punch to a perfect line)
- Wrecked 'Em Damn Near Killed 'Em
She's one in a million
Which makes my chances about a million to one
Like finding all the answers to every single question you've ever asked yourself
While you're starring down the barrel of a loaded gun
Life throws a punch and I hit the floor
bruised and broken still I'm begging for just one more
Call it compassion or satisfaction
But she keeps my heart beat beat beating for one beat more
- Young at Heart
I'm searching for you in the darkLooking to find the counterpart that keeps me young at heartI'm showing you I can be brave,
while staring down a tidal wave that washes me awaySearching the banks to try to find a piece of you to saveI'm trying to hold on to youI'm dying to hold on to youSo why cant I hold on to youI'm searching for you in the darkLooking to find the counterpart that keeps me young at heartMaybe just turning on the light is the perfect place to start
- Your Ego Writing Checks Your Body Cant Cash
I got up and made my way to the door
and I dropped my conscience on the way out
I turned and I looked back down on the floor
But my conscience wasn't there anymore
So then I got to thinkin...
Was it there in the first place?
Can you read it on my face?
- Your Song
When you know that I'm gone you will
Say to yourself
I have nothing anymore
Nothing to ignore
No one to make sure you're ok
To make sure you're ok
You've got bedtime eyes
