- A Lesson In The Abuse Of Information Technology
I supply my own divide morality
I dye everything shades of grey
And nothing stays gold and everywhere I turn
Another self gratifying glimpse of a lonely road
Self deception learn the lesson hedon, you've got a reason to lie
And every where I turn there are portraits
Of the things we'll never know
Our bodies across the ocean
- Deep Sleep
To deep sleep,
I know everything ain’t free,
As I rummage through an old phonebook deciphering names,
That were carved on the Paupack peaks,
Remember me?
Remember May 2003?
When we were hopeless,
- Home Outgrown
Condescender, Condescender,
Chemical splendour, I surrender a promise to myself.
I know a snake, I know a charmer, I know a selfish little boy,
But I wish that I knew my friend,
A neighbour is a stranger,
And compassion is an option,
When your frigid hearts settle in.
- I Don t Wanna Be An Asshole Anymore
Yeah!
Last Friday night I wasn't me
I was a still life trapped in eternity
I was the focal point; out of focus, out of ink
And I’ve been wandering nightly through the garden of your heartache
Always making a mess, always stumbling out the door
But I don’t wanna be an asshole anymore
- I Was Born
I was born but I forgot it,
We left our marks in drying cement,
Hey mister don’t you doubt it,
I was born but I’ve seemed to forgot it.
I was raised inside a bible,
I was living off life support,
Unilateralist!
- Kate Is Great
I used to have a home with a room and a bed,
A porch and a driveway with a big garage
But I traded it in I kept some faith
And laid my head down every night
And it seems so far away, it seems so far away
Remember me now cause things always change
Five long years have gone
- Kentucky Gentlemen
The glob of cherry tips are dancing in the streets
Left like the world where man and soul meet
Well the clergy's left jobless, the judge been replaced
With varicose laughter and unending face
So long Ohio
It's been short and sweet
We'll see you again where man and soul meet
- Lookers
Lost in a picture frame
The way our bodies used to behave
The way we smiled in the moment
Before they permanently froze
But that was the old me and you
When we were both lookers
Lost in a picture frame
- Red, White, and Blues
You called it no mans land
With machine guns blasting to hell
I let my guard down and carried my heart so far away
And in a letter sent, that I don't want to be here any more then them
I'm sipping on coffee gone stale again
Is this how it tastes to mix drinks with sour grapes?
So kiss me before its over if only for a minute
- Rodent
I want to be more discreet
I want them all to quit following me
In the walls held captive lives a mouse
I don't have the guts to kick him out
In the forest where I live
Lives someone who I would have hated when I was young
When I swore life had a purpose
- Sun Hotel
I remember you well at the Sun Hotel
Where we were waiting impatiently
For a decent night's sleep
It's like I've landed in the rubble of my past life
And I never seem to board a return flight
From the shame, the fear, the guilt that's tough to mention
The kind that always pry your eyelids open
- Tasker-Morris Station
I never loved you but I tried to,
and you were so ambiguous,
We blamed the faulty wires,
When we found our blood was pumped from stone.
My memory is fading faster,
I never bought a warranty,
When I called and said I was leaving,
- Time Tables
Once she came like a vision in the night,
I fell in love before the morning arrived,
She wore a blue dress to combat the heat,
Drank beer from a bottle and danced in the street,
Then I heard her singing something fairly familiar,
A tale of two lovers in the thick of the summer,
There in the moment we kissed in the hammock,
We argued over which Bad Religion album was better,
- Transient Love
used to lie to myself all the time
I was always over-reacting, screaming "I'm gonna die."
But now I'm five thousand miles from her head on my shoulder
From a night I spent sober screaming "I'm gonna die."
But all I ever wanted was to make things right
All I ever wanted was to make things right
- where your heartache exists
[Verse 1]
My girl she's a good one
She's always on my mind
She is a rose and I am a stone
She's always poking her head out
And striking a pose
I'm always plucking her petals
And some nights we fall out of love
