I got a bone to pick with you And I'm gonna pull it out of your ribs You're not all you're cracked up to be And I'm not big enough to walk away You be the bigger man We won't stay down Because we're knocking down your door Because we're burning down your house I've got a gun to your head And I'm asking do you wanna live? Is this how you wanted it? What's behind my eyes? What's behind my skin? Can you see in? What's behind the barrel I'm holding to your head? I've got whatever it takes And you came up wanting, get up This is a love song, it's a sing along I wrote it just for you How long is your list? Mine's about to get shorter.
2.
Welcome to the end of everything That you took for granted It's your last day on easy street Time to prop your fucking eyes open And stare at the mirror That's you and this is it Splash some water on your face and suck it up You just lost all your choices She was the best thing that ever happened to you And now it's over That's just fine, that will do Let it burn Let it fall apart That's just fine, that will do Let it die Let it walk away from you Didn't get to look her in the face Let's make something dangerous Let's make something new Let's make something that will burn There's nothing romantic about it There's nothing You did everything wrong and now it's over Best thing that ever happened to you You don't deserve it Live up to it.

I shouldn't have said that What was I thinking, what was I doing? Where did I go wrong? I walked so far and followed for so long Just to say the wrong thing It's going to be a good time But I know you're not coming Set it free if it loves you... It's not coming back I've lost weight and I look pale But you look good, I couldn't help but notice I've lost weight and I look pale But you look good, I couldn't help myself Just like last time, just like this time Just like next time, just like the last time I was your number one god damn fan I was the best friend you never had I was your number one god damn fan I was the best you'll never have Is this supposed to make it better? If you're gonna burn it, burn it all Burn it all and walk away What was I thinking, what was I doing? What was I thinking, where did I go wrong? What were we thinking, what were we doing? What were we thinking, where did we go wrong? I haven't been sleeping but I've been dreaming I haven't been eating but I've been thinking I've found the best place in the world.

Deadmen 02:22
You'll never see me again And you'll never take me alive Have we been wasting their breath? Have we been paying attention? Has it come to this? We can't give up and we can't give in So what's left? Martyrdom fantasies and fading memories Of when we were better Were we just kids... now we're adults We didn't know it Now we're grown up, now we've gone wrong Giving up and giving in I'll see you in the abyss I'll see you in that blank stare The worst of them Might have gotten the best of us Looked out my window And realized that I hate you There's a black hole in my chest And a fire in my stomach And it's killing me like I want to kill you The worse of you Might be better than the best of us.

Dreamers 02:38
I'm calling the sun It only takes a moment for you to realize You own it, it's yours It's massive and brilliant and it's mine I'll never look at the sky without it again Smiling faces I'll call the sun and show my best The best of you and the best of me What happens next? What if we're not even close? What happens next? I can't wait to show you What happens next? It's the sun and it's ours What happens next? It'll never go out I'm so glad I woke up this morning Because I can't wait to see what happens next What happens next? You'll see.

I took two and I didn't notice It's still noisy as Hell I took two and it didn't make a difference I did the best I could The sun doesn't always shine And the good guys don't always win All the promises that we broke And all the lies that we were told We'll go to bed With the best and worst thoughts in our heads And hope for sleep Cause tomorrow you'll wake up beautiful And all the people we made cry Everything will be alright We've walked through suicide And come out on the other side I'm worn down and wearning away It's bedtime everyone So I'm gonna take two more All the promises we broke And all the lies we were told All the beatings that we took And all the people we made cry For all our friends who we left behind Or we lost to suicide We're never coming home.

You look cold and you look tired You look cold and beaten You look cold, spent, and broken You look cold, you look like me Isn't it hard to look outside With these eyes that won't stay closed? Ever wonder why they gave us eyes? Ever wonder what keeps us alive? Why can't this be good enough? Maybe we could stop the blood Heal the wounds and make the best of it I can't find the instructions I never learned how to fly Woke up today with a hole in my soul I never learned how to die Manufactured hope and postcards? Pretty pictures of a better place (or is this it?) Can we make the best of it?

Nosferatu 03:03
Go about your buisiness There is nothing to see here Go about your buisiness There is nothing to love here There's a storm coming, lock up your windows Go about your buisiness There is nothing to see here Go about your buisiness there is nothing to love here There's a storm coming Lock your windows and bolt your doors There's a storm coming Give it a second and you'll see everything You'll see There's nothing to see I've been falling asleep at the wheel Daydreaming of insomnia Have you been watching? Cause I've been waiting I never want to see the sun come up I'm never going to be able to finish this tonight My mind won't stop There's a war coming and we're all out of heart We're not ready for the last dance I didn't save a thing There's a war coming And I didn't save anything for this dance.

Quitters 02:49
I can write you a list of everything I've ever done wrong Because it's always on my mind But I already forgot what I did right today What a sad way to live Self absorbed and wasted Did you do something right today? I can tell you what I did wrong I wrote this song What makes the wheels in your mind turn? Lobotomize ourselves with work and television You're looking forward to never thinking again? Forget it, quitter What did you do right today?

Last chance kids, it's time to rock It's time to move, it's time to live Last chance kids, before we're old Before we're tired, before we give If this is the last time we play the last song Will you remember how you moved? If this is the first time you heard a new song Will you feel it, feel the burn? I can dodge bullets and get up from any beating I can be whatever I want when I grow up Will you remember how you danced And how you felt and what it was like to matter? Will you remember what it was like? Before we got old, before we got tired Before we gave in? Last chance kids, it's time to rock It's time to move, it's time to live Last chance kids Before we're old, before we're tired Before we give, last chance.
