Friends 'till the Ends shut it down, turn it off, this is it I can see there's no me in this shit and I'm tired of the fire burning in me I'll retire or get fired but just let me be time has come, finally whispering "free" and the walls with their calls, no more to me and I'm glad to be sad when you call 'cause we're friends 'till the ends which means you don't know me at all I just took my last pill, now they're all gone hazy place, no escape here in this song but I know I can call you when it's done and I'm wrecked, imperfect and finished having fun

Two Steps Back whoah! one step forward and two steps back you know the finest thing is thing you lack yo! you threw out yer phone and yer TV set no! you're all used up but you're not done yet you know hesitations lessen the big regrets yeah! you can't fail if you don't take the test oh! but then you'll know you didn't do your best no! you're all used up but you're not done yet you know if you really wanna change you'd better write a list oh no! 'cause every time you try that you just write this oh! the imperfections are all perfect no, you're all used up but you're not done yet

Dreary 03:24 video
Dreary well here we fucking are no gas in the car no restrictions near or far to say how to spend the day what to do and "hey, you should be on time this time" my friends used to be my friends a means to an ends "how ya doin'?" that depends on you but now they're dead and gone leavin' me this song leavin' me the whole day alone, but chorus: dreary sundays always save me save me sometimes I could use my own time we all need alone time we all need some "work on me time" and that's fine kickin' out the dope rhymes walkin' on that thin line separating peace from pieces phone rings pulling on your heart strings always seems to stop things from just happening but not today the distractions far away leaving me right here to play leaving me right here to say chorus sshhhhh! do you hear that sound of no one comin' 'round just raindrops fallin' on my windowpane winter's sweet refrain it could drive you insane but Chinese water torture ain't no thing I'll close my eyes and sing or just do anything 'cause anything is still something that's mine I'm taking back my time I'm drawin' out some lines encircling a soul divine 'cause save me

Lazy Fare 05:56
Lazy Fare it's okay let opportunity slip away 'cause you weren't meant to rock out anyway you'll say let it go convince yourself "I mean, how could you have known that all you'd add up to is just so so oh no the train came by you could have grabbed a hold and taken the ride it would have made for such a source of pride oh sigh lazy fare sit real still and try to tell yourself it's no big deal and after all you don't believe in free will but still you hear something a voice is calling and it's using your name and it is saying you're the one to blame for being lame shut it up prescription pills will take this fucking up and make it all okay but what the fuck this sucks lazy fare just relax life is what you make it kid, face facts and if you didn't act you didn't act you lacked you'll move on you'll just keep on with all that keepin' on the schedule will tell you what to work on and on, and on and.... more trains will come you tell yourself next time you won't be so dumb you tell yourself next time you'll hop right on right on! it's another lie that you will swallow just so you can get by and when it's all over you'll wonder why and cry lazy fare

The Doctor is Out the doctor is out the doctor has left the building the doctor freaked out the doctor had to do his own thing the office is closed up until further notice the doctor makes no apologies for this the doctor could not keep up with his patients the doctor was tired wired heart beating relentless the doctor took pills he tried so hard to focus the doctor is out gone left 'till further notice the doctor is out

Don't Feel a Thing I know this girl that lives far away she's better than all the others that come my way she's magical, she's gifted, she's talented and kind but right now she's totally fuckin' with my mind now I know I call her too much on the phone but I just had to have her for my own now I got her right here and I still feel alone oh why can't I straighten out my dome? chorus: 'cause I don't feel a thing no I don't feel a thing don't feel a thing worth feelin' she's leaving tomorrow on a plane she says she can't help with my brain she's probably right, but I'll still go insane oh, why must this shit turn out so lame? well we tried so hard to make it work but she's making me feel like a jerk she says that I'll be happier but I'd rather go berserk with her by my side as a perk chorus now she tells me she's just fucking up my flow but this is the only flow I know and then she says she loves me but she's still got to go oh why does this so hurt my holes? the sex was good, so I thought that it was okay and we could go on carrying on this way and I tried so hard to feel the right way 'cause she's the only one that makes it okay chorus

Sad Sack 04:20 video
Sad Sack I wrote you a letter then I threw it away it said a whole lotta things about having nothing to say ('bout having nothing to say) my dance card's so empty as well as my mind and I start thinking of you when I should be killing time (he should be killing time) I'm talking to no one and they're answering back they tell me to just move on and stop being such a sad sack (stop being such a sad sack) I'll conquer the nation and then the world and I'll do it all one 'cause I don't need no fucking girl (he don't need no fucking girl) this song is so stupid but I'll see where it leads and I'll watch all the gardens die and live out my life in these weeds (live out his live in the weeds)

I Give Up 03:12
I Give Up I give up all this bullshit what the fuck am I doin'? just my luck I've been screwing up my stuff 'bout to ruin everything I see is bad to me won't you help me please? I give up chemicals are not enough to make me happy and your touch leaves receptor downgrade's clutch- es on my heart and everything that's me can plainly see this was meant to be I made up good excuses for my luck it's just that it's impossible to find a four leaf clover in a field of weeds this was meant to be won't you help me please?

Someone's Frozen the Sun someone's frozen the sun the heat and the cold they are now one the telephone's melted away and frozen phone lines they got nothing to say the fire escape is on fire the birds are frozen to electrical wires the day is darker than night the ivy's dying trying to reach light someone's frozen the sun it's vomiting sun rays for no one the sky sinks down to the floor it flattens my chest and I can't reach that door to leave this place far behind I know it's all inside of my mind the power to heal up the sun but my neosporin is used up and all done fuck that we don't need no sun it just gave skin cancer to everyone I'll just live under a rock and me and some insect will have a long talk 'bout how someone's frozen the sun and the heat and the cold they are now one I'd say we'd talk until dawn but since there's no sun it'll just go on and on and on and on and on and on and on.....

Follow Sunny Days downers or speed what do you need maybe some more weed? you'll find a way what's that they say? "to keep the dog's at bay" follow sunny days vericose veins they pulse in your brains like ivy gone insane in there it stays and never goes away but like they all say follow sunny days midnight or noon alone in your room shuffling through your doom the darkness they say can all go away so even though it might sound kinda "gay" follow sunny days

Empty Spaces empty spaces the in betweens the airless air that's all around silent noises echoing the endless reverberations of no sound frozen faces mumbling with spittle dripping off their mouths the clock is ticking hand's aren't moving the frozen faces turn to scowls empty spaces space = time time = empty empty spaces the dream is hidden behind a dream that hides behind another dream's dream you cross the road to get to the other side then it all doesn't seem to mean what it seemed to mean now that first side is the new other side and it really doesn't seem to mean what it seemed to mean empty spaces the in betweens the airless air that's all around silent noises echoing the endless reverberations of no sound
