The sidewalk's a war zone I do battle with the passing cars He doesn't understand how he makes this continue. Stranger danger, For the dames that we all love.

He's been throwing rocks at freight trains, hoping that they'll crash, 'Cause then he'll have made a difference in this world gone mad; He's the type to use oil paints, and get them on your dad's new recliner, And never apologize. The guy who'll get all resentful when a girl doesn't put out; "That bitch, that prude, I had paid the right amount, Of liquor and attention and texts with smiley emoticons." Not that he'd want a girl who's "easy" anyway, To him dating's all about value, so what would that say About his worth to the world, he wants a girl, To crash that freight train of a girl. ALL YOU DUDES AT THIS PARTY TONIGHT, YOU'RE ALL THIS FUCKING GUY. THE WORLD OWES YOU NOTHING BUT A LIFE TO LIVE, SO GROW SOME OVARIES. (x666)

Frigid 03:38
Take a swig and now I'm in it I'm stuck in love So please help me be, help me be You're not even doing Anything to me, And it hurts, goddamn it hurts. That's not how it works it didn't I am ever oh so frigid Waited for me to visit; I didn't, I didn't. You watched me fall in and out of love All the while, right by your side... You watched me die That's not how it works it didn't I am ever oh so frigid Waited for me to visit; I didn't, I didn't.

Sad Drunk 03:56
You are a best friend gone bad, And I am the star of this horribly cliched, over-budget indie film. So why not? I'll take a ride At least these Djarum Blacks, they taste like Christmas and I'll try to forget that my wish is my wish is... To be with her and not you but it's All seen through rose-tinted glasses, She's not any better, there is no shelter From my inability to deal with life. But you're so good in the sack. And that's what gives me hope That life could ever hold this much bliss Forget the sadness, me the sad mess. Where did I learn to be This passive aggressive, I can't communicate intelligently. So I don't, I just let you know That you are shit, we treat each other like shit. And I could be with her and not you but it's All seen through rose-tinted glasses, She's not any better, there is no shelter From my inability to deal with life. But you're so good in the sack. And that's what gives me hope That life could ever hold this much bliss Forget the sadness, me the sad mess. Oh I'm the shittiest kid South of 25th

I'm stuck in the mindframe That everyone, everyone's the same. I'm not just a ragging dame To think that you want me, want me too. I'm not gonna lie to you. It hurts to be loved and not respected. You tell me that I need help But somehow you think I'm doing this to my self. How you can you be so satisfied To leave someone when they're hurting inside. You tell me that I'm strong, oh but it feels so wrong. I'm stuck in the mindframe That everyone, everyone's the same. I'm not just a ragging dame To think that you want me, want me too.

It is my dream To fight overseas And kill some ragheads It is my dream To support our regime Pay for my college tuition It is my dream To fight overseas And kill some ragheads Policing the world. Look at all these awesome fucking guns I would have been a cop but I wanted to shoot someone Without filling out paperwork, this is hero's work I'm a hero now, I'm a hero now. But some just want a steady job 'Cause they didn't finish high school One with benefits and solid pay But the only benefit of this job is PTSD. My momma always told me that she knew just what I'd be. I'd save the world, be a modern-day superhero. And here I am, saving the world while drinking a beer! It is my dream To fight overseas And kill some ragheads It is my dream To support our regime Pay for my college tuition It is my dream To fight overseas And kill some ragheads Policing the world.

Moth Balls 05:04
I'm running past my ropes, and I've got no more questions I'm tired of these empty blokes Shoving speech in my convictions. Don't get these dishonest ways; Don't get them honest. I just want to play away and Run away from this fire. Please my petty heart To run away Please my petty heart In the dark I played. I'll never escape my head Whatever's in my head I'll never escape my head. One day I took a walk To find where my end might stay Or new beginnings to hold my thoughts No more petty ways In a box I stayed all day To work my piano keys and Burn holes in my fingers from my guitar My bloody lips soaked my reed so far and oh Please my petty heart Got me nowhere Please my petty heart Got me in these places. Then I forced away my friends. I was god knows dead. I'm just a feeling dude The one that falls behind Too many holes to see I know you can feel the signs And when you're breaking me And there is not to see. And you're enjoying me It's been proven time to time.

So many things I want to tell you Your eyes say let me in, let me in. But you'll just tear me down, tear me down. I'm already shrinking so small, Blow me over and I'll fall more in love with you. 'Cause you're my peace of mind, you're my peace of mind. Hold me closer as I cry There's no one by my side, no one by my side. No one left inside, no one. I swear I'm just hiding come find me I wanna see your beautiful smile. I'm sorry you're hurting I'm hurting too I guess that's why I love you. Never leave me please I don't know how I'll breathe.

The sun in the west pierces my eyes with its glare I apologize for all the things that I've done I'm not good enough I've never been good enough Every bug on my face is deserved no doubt I don't fight the burn, I put my eyes to the sky... Put my eyes to the sky I know what will make this right The gas station's in sight. Hot-wire that tanker and drive into the night. Surely my justice is truest, surely my justice is right. The gas pedal depresses as I pass all the houses of people I hate. Though I know very few of them, set on my tank I'm coming. Justice truest, justice right. As I hit the building, the souls take flight. I turn around see your body in flames; You were never meant to be there. You were never meant to be there; It's hard to admit I had nothing to gain. And now I have lost one true thing of value, I longed for the cold months ago Almost as much you do now I'm sure you do now. Fight for your life (Sadness as I watch my crime) Flames growing in size (As my soul burns away) You're warmer now (I wish I was colder today) I know what I'm doing I've known all along. I know. You're gone. The sun touches our ashes, smiles upon the night.
