Sleeping alone, another mistake
Screaming kids and a house to pay
Gone too long, but never too soon
You don't know what you're going to do
Cliche bound, it's all you've known
Throwing fits when you are all alone
Gotta run and catch your life
Breaking away from the selfish...
When you base it all on how it feels
And don't understand what makes it real
You're holding on to youth and a shattered past
Wanting a life that could never last
Friday night, gambling with some friends
Russian Roulette and a cup of gin
The bullet slides into its slot
You spin the wheel of a silver Glock
Screaming Sounds, The dreadful sighs
Sick and drunk spewing out some lies
Pull the latch, until it sticks
All is gone once you hear the...
When you base it all on how it feels
And don't understand what makes it real
You're holding on to youth and a shattered past
Wanting a life that could never last
I'm Gonna push you around, All around town
I don't want to go until I hear a sound
They say your blood's like a river
Flowing out of me
You say it's cold so I shivered
When death is part of me
When death is part of you, too

They call me Dr. Rebel Friend
That you've known
So say it's an emergency
(That's a joke)
You wouldn't even get it anyway.
I'm riding a bicycle without any spokes
I've got 22 fingers gripped around my neck
but don't feel choked
Such strange consistency
I'm here alone
Listening to drone
I can't hear you
I'm lost in a trance
I'm flying to France
Can't feel you
Let's go out to the mall tonight
and catch a flick
and see the one that's forever long
but has a schtick
(I'll say it's art in case it is)
And we can buy some contraband
to get our fix
I've got 22 fingers gripped around my neck
but don't feel shit
You still say that you feel fine
Not rich or poor just on the line
Just too bored trying to pass the time
Living a life of a concubine
YEAAÀAÁÄ

I've come from here to now
I'll adjust to please the crowd
I want to be one of the guys
Just want to have some sort of pride
So i should go out on the beach
and meet a girl with low self-esteem
And tell her she will be my bride
but then leave her in the night
I guess Ill do just what I can
to call myself a man
Will you be here in the end?
to say that your my friend
I guess I want you in my SKIN
I'll live with all of the fame
And I'll take up all the shame
I wanna be a big surprise
I wanna hang out til I die
So I should go to Bollywood
and sing a song that's misunderstood
and this will be my life
or at least just for tonight
I want you in my skin, I want you

Jesus

It's late in the evening, I won't rush
It's getting tough to resist your touch
but he has a plan for our love
maybe we could be more than friends
and hang out late right just past ten
don't tell my parents of our plans
But he's your Jesus
Jesus freakin' Christ
He's your Jesus
Jesus freak, in Christ
Your dad's full of hate
Why can't we date
Is this just fate
or a mistake
I'll grab your hand when we pray
and do you ever lust when you're in bed
If it's for real why don't you just
forget the rules or give it up
So please tell me now that I'm the one for you
But God just said that it wasn't true
I guess I know that you're full of...
You're my christ

Illusion

Some say it’s always an illusion
With depth blown in the air
But why would you care?
Or give in at all
Some say you’ve got to take intrusion
To make some things more rare
But how is that more fair
To hope for it all
You
I know what’s in an empty mind
But you don’t seem to have the time
To do what you need to do
And that’s all right.
Some say it’s always mass confusion
When answers aren’t sound
But don’t let it get you down
That’s always a mistake
Some say it’s hard to face delusion
When thoughts can’t be found
But don’t let it get you down
It’s always a mistake
You
I know what’s in an empty mind
But you don’t seem to have the time
To do what you need to do
And that’s the truth
I know exactly what you are
Wishing a life on some stars
And neglect to do what you need to do
And that’s all right

Bliss

I want you in the end
To live a life that’s full of bliss
I know that’s hard to comprehend
When you think about the helpful smile
From them
The haunting noise comes from the ground
That stimulates my strongest sense
I know it barely makes a sound
But when I think about my aging thoughts
They’re gone
And some still think about their fading friends
And wish someday that they would come again
But I know it’s true that people change
Or else we are all the same
I guess I like where I am
It’s sad I guess
To only want what I think 's best
When I think about the broken smiles
From you
I’ve got something you wished you had
But you claim it makes life such a drag
But I still think about my favorite days
With her.
And some still think about their fading friends
And wish someday that they would come again
But I know it’s true that people change
Or else we are all the same
I guess I like where I am
And why is that so bad?
Nothing’s the same
And why is that so bad?
They are gone once again
And why is that so bad?
I'm lost in the end
And why is it so bad?
To be me
To be you
To be anybody that you’ve ever known
I know
It’s true
