It’s not my problem anymore I’ve come to see You spend your days all on your own, that’s not for me You can’t even look me in the eyes without wanting to scream I guess I’ve heard it all before, know what it means You’re not my problem anymore, I’m sick and tire of being bored Couch surfing, car crashing, slamming shots of whisky I cannot give you what you need Now it’s all over run for cover from your disease Get up, go out, get drunk, move on, rinse and repeat I read the numbers on your door, I think I’ve seen them here before I cannot be here anymore, I’ve dropped my keys onto the floor On my ass and everyone’s laughing, staring at me I think it’s time for me to leave…. I can’t start my car, I don’t know where we are I think I’ll walk into the street, don’t follow please just let me be It’s not my problem anymore, I’m sick and tired of being bored Laughter screaming, self esteem is walking out the door I think I’ve heard this all before….. Now it’s all over run for cover from your disease Get up, go out, get drunk, move on, rinse and repeat Hard to listen, everyone's pissed. "Have you seen my keys?" I'd give it to you but I got it for free

Highway #3 03:27
Sitting in my room, feeling kind of doomed Got no company, can’t stand on my feet Hear the neighbors yell from across the street And I am left with my fears and they’re beckoning me…again And if you're going my way, I can save you a seat But if you're going my way, you're never gonna be free Falling from my mountain, ocean greeting me I’m drowning in this water and my lack of company Why don’t you follow me? And if you're going my way, I can save you a seat But if you're going my way, you're never gonna be free Painted black & blue, colors of my room Keep repressing sleep, colors of my tomb Watching as they crumble, never coming to Slip and then I stumble always getting back to you I’m coming back for you………. Hey!

Cold Coffee 03:37
I pulled up to the house just in time to watch her leave Arms wrapped tightly around this week's new jewelry I should take off, but I know I'll wait til she gets home Cause even though she don't love me I'd rather not sleep alone How much time have i got Before this shallow stream dries up? You walked right out on me, hung me up to dry One look away and I was already out of your mind You're out running 'round with any man you please While I waste away here in my invisible penitentiary Slowly it all slips away To shadowed remnants of some distant yesterday Though I try, can't slow the fall And I'm left with nothing at all Light through the window splits my aching head Reaching out for something across my unmade bed Fumbling around, another day to unfold Hoping it's hot, I reach for the pot, but the coffee's already cold Slowly it all slips away To shadowed remnants of some distant yesterday Though I try I can't slow the fall And I'm left with nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing at all

Left Behind 05:22
Footsteps pounding down on pulsing ground, let me rest awhile Summer days swept away, scattered by the tides Meaning lost, at what cost do I stay and fight? Letting go, petals unfold, falling towards the sky Don't you know It's all so hard to find? And it shows: tracks across my mind But I know that I'd stay right right here if i only had the time And another phase slips away and I'm left behind Like a skipping stone all alone, merely cast aside Each bound and leap, destined to sink, never to reach the other side But left unthrown it's all unknown... may as well give it a try Don't you know it's all so hard find? And it shows: tracks across my mind But I know that I'd stay right here if i only had the time

I tried so many times to reconcile the lies Convince myself there's more to you than what's between your thighs And through it all, the arguments, the slamming of the doors, I shrug it off, save face, pretend there's nothing we want more But you're a callous bitch, incessant itch, not letting up I try to think, drowning in drinks, if I have had enough Your anger it could strike a match and light your cigarettes. My jealousy drips out of me like kerosene for sweat Now my temperature is rising, start to lay out all the facts We can't last if we carry on the way each other acts We should've never been together, filling with regrets 'Cause you and I go together just like kerosene and cigarettes Heart on the strings of hellish dreams I'm trying to forget Ripped at the seams, how can it seem that we're a perfect set? And I'm trying to remember how we fell into this net When you set me off, ignited like another cigarette This toxic state of being its not only tongue and cheek Those crocodile tears of yours now happen every week How many more times must we crawl on hand and feet 'Til we realize there's no supply for one another's needs? Now my temperature is rising and I'm filling with regrets We'd both be better off if we forget we ever met We should've never been together, taste it in the sweat You and I go together just like kerosene and cigarettes

Parasite 05:04
Out along the mountain tops We scream out in to the night I saw you were out in front But in the darkness I go blind And my feet were landing hard On uneven mountain ground Broken rocks and sharpened shards There you laid without a sound Walk alone in frozen air Staring out at pale skies Can’t go on without you there Out into the night I fly And it’s now that we will bleed Carried by the windy tide Body lying next to me Soon to crawl with parasites Out along the mountain tops Walking slowly side by side Not a soul to hear our cries As we fly into the night There we breathe in our last breath And it barely makes a sound Waters wash away lamenting Silently upon the ground And it’s now that we will sleep Carried by the windy tide Bodies lying silently Soon to crawl with parasites As our hearts they stop their beat Hands outstretched to closing eyes Little living comes to be Giving home to parasites Into the night Into the night...

Lost 04:00
It’s raining up outside, the night is burning my eyes Don’t judge by what you see in the firelight My toes are blistered and stiff, my brain’s cut open and Dripping from the bones on the side of my face I’m hearing sounds on the roof but there is nobody there Standing naked in a city of ant hills The dirt set under my nails, there's voices screeching, And telling everyone why they can never ever make it better I’m going insane, I’ve lost my brain Hugging my knees in the corner weakly Cracking up I’m in pain, nothing here feels the same As I slip away discretely I know you want me to die, this wasteland’s burning and Frying my skin, can someone help me? I’m going insane, I’ve lost my brain…..oh yeah! The clock’s run out inside, I’m entertained by the time Another meal for the vultures to dine on My body’s covered in dust, I’m on my back and I’m Rusting as the sun beats down hard on my face The ground is cutting my feet, these birds are looking for meat Can barely stand in this desolate wasteland My eyes roll back in my head, I fall face down in the sand The voices screaming at me that I’m a dead man! I’m going insane, I’ve lost my brain There’s no chance that you’ll ever reach me Cracking up I’m in pain, nothing here feels the same As I slip away discretely Another speck on the floor, the devil birds are now Soaring towards my eyes, what a last thing to see I’m going insane, I’ve lost my brain….AHHHHH

Thanks! 03:29
Deep in my mind think I knew it all along Prescience or paranoia? Either way the thoughts belonged Was sure we had something, once again I got it wrong So it goes baby... thanks at least for the song All my time waiting was all wasted Can't believe it's true, better learn how to face it Why do I mind when I know that I'm to blame? If I was in your shoes I'd have done the same Deep in my mind, think I knew all along So it goes baby... thanks at least for the song Now my thoughts I must rearrange Lick a finger and turn the page A troubled mind can manifest some change But how do I proceed when it's so easy to remain the same? Deep in my mind, think I knew all along So it goes baby... thanks at least for the song Baby my confidence is shaken This whole time, tell me, were you faking? Do I take the time to try and change your mind? Clearly affected, I at least expected A taste of something more, cause baby it just ain't right To turn on a light just to show me the door Deep in my mind, think I knew all along So it goes baby... thanks at least for the song So it goes baby... thanks at least for the song So it goes baby... FUCKING THANKS

Eyes are divine and feel like I am alive again Drag me close into the unknown And we float, like in outer space, how am I to say That your soul has been replaced? time to hide away Now my heart has been betrayed Unfulfilling loving weighs so heavy in the haze of your sin Let me in See those dancing little diamonds in the eyes of your demons And I got this feeling like we shouldn’t be alone Together we can become We don't have to be alone anymore Hear her voice hollow as stars Separated by thin curtain walls This cold night the moon is high and swaying in the breeze Darkness grips my lungs and footsteps echo off cobblestones Buried in the oaks, feeble little flow, and the sound is choking Rippling out across the leaves Oh what a time to be free You know the way we could be again

Call My Name 04:43
You called may name, I walked away You said that I could never be replaced And so you cried, knowing that I would never stay Your bloodshot eyes, they called my name I seems so long ago I had to deal with your lies You found another man that you could keep warm at night I died inside, he softly touched you on the cheek And through the pain, I called your name You called my name, I walked away You cried and cried, begging to just let you explain And so I sighed, I said “things just won’t be the same” As I shut the door you called my name You called my name, I walked away You cried and cried, begging to just let you explain And so I sighed, I said “things just won’t be the same” As I shut the door........you called my name
