Fed up with the faking
And force fed ways of thinking
We are just human beings
Chasing dead endings
The clocks, they bleed too quick
To spend our time without a tourniquet
I hope x3
That the words in these songs I wrote
Make someone as out of step as me
Not feel so alone
Fed up with your faking
And force fed ways of thinking
You are just human beings
And Chasing dead endings
You don't have to be this way
There's no reward at the end of the race

I was placing my sentimental value wrong
When we listened to the Murder City Devils on my cold wood floor
But don't talk about common ground with me
It might pan out romantically
Don't talk about common ground
Just let me down easy
Coming home to an empty house tonight
You're coming over
Gonna see if we could get this right
But don't talk about common ground with me
It might pan out romantically
Don't talk about common ground
Just let me down easy
Those around see me through
Wholeheartedly, I need them too
I still believe that if I listen to enough pop punk
That maybe I would feel the same as them
Just let me down easy
Just let me down easy
Let me down, let me down
Let me down easy
Just let me down easy

Adventures - "Promise"

Break the only promises that I have made just to stay awake
To feel the pain you felt when the shape changed.
Being alone is only a moments comfort when you never leave my head.
Sleep in the company of strangers, its just enough to breathe.
A gasp of air at a life I could never lead.
But this life is one I would never leave
There's not a place in this world I'd rather be then everywhere at once
Some days your face is just like home but mostly it's what drives me to go…

The Hills of Philadelphia,
I fell asleep and then woke up to DVD's their selling yah
just gave a stranger my last dollar
(dis da Hook) Wait for an hour and I'll be right back with that sour D
I got played in Philadelphia
In Philadelphia, i drank upon the wicked cup
Well he threw down but I threw up
AND I DON'T CARE AND I'M NOT SORRY
In Philadelphia
Where Irish guys will yell at yah
and old Black guys will let at yah
and Chinamen hate everybody
(Wait for an hour and I'll be right back with that sour D
I got played in Philadelphia
It;s hard to be black and a scholar where it's hard to stand on the bottom of the water
Me? I'm ashamed of Philadelphia
I slipped the Muslim cash through six inch thick security glass
and we grabbed our bags of snacks and got high under the overpass
and
We climbed the wooden stairs and made pretend they weren't there
Beneath his hidden stare, where everyone hates everybody
(Wait for an hour and I'll be right back with that sour D
I got played in Philadelphia
It's hard to be black on the squalor where it's hard to stand on the bottom of the water
Me? I will stay in Philadelphia

She makes a fortune off the mermaid slave trade.
I try to play, but she already hates me,
loyal under ultra violet eyes.
She hears a love song as oil rigs explode.
Dry blood of dolphins, how else would she paint her toes?
It isn't romance unless you barely survive.
O lamia, matriarchs of our darkest will
Crack our bones so we know the content you feel
Tie our dead weight hanging from the mast of your wrath
Where it goes, no one knows, I suppose you will.

I was watching the news from the movie theater bar and daydreaming of you. No I’ve never been good at paying attention, but I’m learning to. With my eyes glued, I’m watching the tube, but I’m not listening. Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night and find yourself wishing that he’d walk in the room, sweep you off your feet, kiss you on the cheek and tell you he loves you? Don’t we all wish that it were that easy… So I walked home from the movies, sat on the couch, and turned on the TV. I’ve heard so many stories, all of them ended with you and me. So I try to be cool, but darlin’ this feeling’s hard to explain. I’ve heard so many stories, all of them ended with your name. so you lay in your bed, watch Dawn Of The Dead, and dream of the end of days when he’d walk in the room and say “Come with me, I know the way.” So Happy Birthday baby, you’re so much older than you thought you would be. Happy Birthday baby, you’re so much older than we thought you would be.

This thing between us is more than just good friends
We all know love is a risk but all I want is one night
She told me I look like drugs then she fucked me with her eyes
Give me my attention
if you let me I could break you off
I didn't bring protection
I roll the dice I life it raw
Just call me the Heavyweight Champ
I talk to God on the weekends
I said Im trying
He knows Im lying
I sip my potions
It takes me higher
I've been here for too long
I play the part, fall in love, break the rules and pay for my sins
Now im all anxious for what?
I brought the drugs with me
The higher we get, the harder we'll fall
It's a start...
I pull the strings from her dress
Now im all anxious for what?

Oh, we were the best of friends
And after all of this
I'm on my own again.
I told you how I felt
"i feel the same." you said.
But then I let us drift apart
I should have kissed you when I had the chance.

|

I put our past behind me with every new hello.
Your body, it twists until the daylight rides the lines of your dress.
I watched my life disappear with the December skyline.
My eyes are glazed, my stomach’s queasy.
And I know it gets better every day, but I don’t feel better.
Just give it a year for it to snow again. I’ll smile, I promise.
Because the snow, it gently presses on my heart—wiping these worries to the wooden floor of this apartment.
I wasn’t strong enough; I wasn’t proud enough to hold you in my arms.
I wasn’t proud enough; I wasn’t strong enough to hold you in my heart.

No, we aren't ghosts 'cause even ghosts have a home to haunt.
No, we aren't ghosts, we open doors and we shed our skin.
No, we aren't ghosts, open your windows and let us in.
Still and freezing we can see our breath.
Tom told me that the drive was short but the tank is empty. (cold concrete and basements.)
We echo in our haunted blood.
The strings are fire, the bass is roaring, the beat carries us on.
If our bodies weave into the ground that they stand on we cannot fall down.
As we slowly push the earth into itself it collapses us.
And we take photos to remember how great it was to be children.
Or forgotten faces in the backgrounds of your lives.
We've all been relatives or coworkers.
We've all been forgiven as we slowly push the earth into itself.
We take photos. The song plays on but the record's cracking.
The house is gone but the floors are creaking.

We lost touch and I blame myself for that, and I’m sorry that I tried too hard. I just wanted this to happen. I write stupid words to try and make you understand, but you won’t listen. I’ve let everyone see how vulnerable I am, but they won’t listen. No one listens. I just wanted you know that all of this was for you.

Taking my bike across the town tonight
Over the path I've road so many times
Thinking to myself how I'll never be anything more than what other people see
I'm not overdramatic I just think to much
So I'll go home before I let myself down again
And I'll try to work this out, but my heart won't let it go.
My heart won't let this go.
(I over think everything)
And I'm trying not to let myself slip away
Retracing the path I came, I've done this too many times
But it all ends up the same and I've got myself to blame
My heart won't let this go before I let myself down again
And I'll try to work this out, but my heart won't let it go

i hold my tongue like a realist
there's no more water in the company fridge
you've got the word set to make a kid wish he was dead.
i take the stairs because it wastes more time
i want to kiss your mouth, but i'm scared to try
it's only sad if i don't come back with someone on my mind
after four months, i saw you laugh
i didn't think it would feel the same
but then i saw your face in diners and concerts,
well i'll fuck off now.
reset, replace.
life has taught me "irreplaceable".
everyone makes me so uncomfortable.
we can live in the exact same place.
we can watch a hundred million things.
if we never go to bed we won't have to wake up.
leave my room like i'm ready to start
walking around with a disposable heart
slip heavy into love again and feel left out.
i'll get home okay, if you're waiting for me.
i'll make a fool of me, irreversibly
if the water's anything less than sixty degrees.
can you teach me to be irreplaceable?
i can believe in anything. i am versatile.

Slow down, I'm pacing myself. It's hard to turn certain things around. The ocean has yet to swallow me whole. It's telling me I have to take control. If you're looking down, you're missing out. The night can tell you so much about yourself. If you're looking down, you're missing out. I swear I believe it this time. Blinded, I'm so blinded, ask how. Spring comes so quick the trees are blinding my eyes. It gives me that feeling that there is always life in this world that's there for you never and sometimes. I will move forward, others stray behind. Vision, I envision, seems clear. Now I can see the person inside of me that you want me to achieve but I'm surprised. That we're still alive.

I look at you, you look at me. See our reflections in the screen. I find a quarter in the couch. It feels good for a second. "It won't get you very far" you say I'll keep it anyway. I'll save it for a rainy day. But in my head I know it's true. Can't count on change to pull me though. It won't get me very far.

If it’s a matter of preference I prefer your apartment
And the shadows cast on the white walls.
There’s just a lack of commitment and misunderstanding
And the notion that I will never be enough.
And it gets weird sometimes when I say I love you.
Come on don’t leave me hanging on
Don’t leave me.
But it gets weird sometimes when I say I love you
And it gets weird sometimes when I say I love you.
It’s the size of an ocean
It’s fucking terrifying
To be so exposed it feels like I’m drowning.

You've been afraid
for so long
of everything around you
In pictures I saw
how your eyes burned
before I was young
Everything's getting worse
All the weight you've been carrying
I know you
Sun bruised kid.
I don't wanna' be somebody
I just wanna' be ok
Everyone seems so much better
Maybe I'm the only one that's changed

How was I supposed to know
I was a knife at a gunfight, the new kid at last week's show?
I'm sure you've seen it all
I thought if someone could listen, at least I won't be alone
I am juggling identities
I am scratching at a scratch on the surface
I am sick of picking different scenes
and still feeling like I've already heard this
I was young, I was angry
I grew up but nothing could change me
Oh 23, why do I find hope in all the wrong places?
I'm a scratched cd, repeating mistakes on a regular basis
I am fighting with old enemies
My dissent is a fact with a purpose
I am sick of looking after things
That have stopped looking after me, I'm a courtesy
I was young, I was angry
I grew up but nothing could change me

Much kind to disperse
On this pad of untouched paper
She wants to feel other people breathing
Straight down her spine
While she is sleeping
Drain their self-worth until they have awaken
From the nightmare
Trust your instincts
Truth is buried
Trust your instincts
The truth is buried
Travel through the steps
That make a man a hopeless wreck
Everything's beyond your means
Accommodate make people happy
Long nights minutes drag and creep
You're seeing through
My advice to you is drink yourself to sleep
Fight your intuition all along the way
Tomorrow's only hours away
Active reality: it will be longer than today
Trust your instincts it's the truth revealing
We are all heartless breakers
Searching for the next best thing

Kid falls in the water, kid drowns in the reservoir
Mom sees front door cop, breaks down in the yard
Town does midnight vigil then hits the bars
Kid watches from the roof, masturbates at the thought.
Who cares about you man?
Who cares at all about you?
Who cares even a little about you man?
Who gives a fucking shit about you?
Kid can't go home now, kid lives in the woods
Town forgot all about it, mom left for good
Locals built a shrine just to tear it down
Kid isn't laughing now, kid isn't jerking off now
Hand on your pecker but the town fucked you better
Locals built a shrine but it slowed traffic down
Locals built a shrine and gave up on the town
Locals built a shrine but it's a subway now
Kid in the woods lives on the fridge
He cook what he hunts
Just out of eyeshot of those fast-forgetting cunts

And I don't want to be there
Running for my life
Things that I say are stupid
Things that I do are boring

Turnover - "Hollow"
02:50

I look into eyes, but I can’t tell if they’re mine.
The words coming off my tongue feel like delicately polished,
practiced lines.
In my head I know my face,
but I haven’t shown it for so long now,
that I might now know how.
Every day I’m someone else, someone different,
but I swear that you could never tell that I’m hollow.
I’m hollow. I fill the emptiness with things that aren’t real,
to see if I can feel less hollow,
but I know it’s only temporary. It’s temporary.
In my head I know my face,
but I haven’t shown it for so long now,
that I might now know how.
Every day I’m someone else, someone different,

Show me what it's like
To not second guess
Everything you've done
And Everything you haven't yet
This is the end
And I just can;'t keep searching
To find out who I really am
So go run to the coast
Cause you think you know
Something that I don't know
But it's all the same to me
Where the hell did I go wrong
And it's all a game to me
But the past is the past
And I can't seem to let it be
So listen up
It's not your fault
That everything you say
Is taken with a grain of salt
Here's your curtain call
Try and soak it in
Cause one day this will all be gone

Firestarter - "Memories"

Since day one, you wrote me off as a longshot
Forcing me to move on from the feelings I really thought I would have never forgotten
The memories we shared, all those times we didn’t care
All lead me to realize how life will never be fair
So I ask myself, if I have all of this laid out in front of me and its all meant to be
Why do I feel this way and how am I (and how am I) and how am I not happy
Woah, this song’s about what’s left of you and me
Woah, there is nothing else that will ever mean more to me
In this life when there’s nothing left for us to do but die
And I’ll try to show you that I’m always worth your time
So don’t, so don’t say goodbye
You called me up and you called me out, saying I’m the one you can’t live without
But I still can’t hear it in your voice on the other end of the phone
Uncertain of what you don’t know
So ask yourself, if you have all of this laid out in front of you and you want to see it through
Will you ever have, will you ever have a clue
Will you ever have a clue, (Will you ever see this through), will you ever have a clue
Woah, this song’s about what’s left of you and me
Woah, there is nothing else that will ever mean more to me
In this life when there’s nothing left for us to do but die
And I’ll try to show you that I’m always worth your time
So don’t, so don’t, so don’t say goodbye

When we grow up I hope that you end up old and all alone
[x2]
You wouldn't know a good thing even if it slapped the makeup right off of your face
Burn down the bridges just in time for last call
Keep digging yourself neck deep into selfishness
I doubt that you'll ever find out who you really are
When we grow up I hope that you end up old and all alone
Keep falling over that same fucking step on your front porch
(Your front porch!)
Most people learn from their mistakes
But you'll just stay here tripping on the same mistakes
You always do
No one's knocked you off your feet, they say what you want to hear
You're living proof that we don't always get what we deserve
But you're really nothing special
Just another crack in the sidewalk
You never meant anything to me
Or anyone for more than one night
No one's gonna stick around for when you're broken down and blacked out
When we grow up I hope that you end up old and all alone
Keep falling over that same fucking step on your front porch
(Your front porch!)
Most people learn from their mistakes
But you'll just stay here tripping on the same mistakes
You always do
Throw away your early twenties
Giving up on everyone and everything around you
It never came so easy
[x2]
When we grow up I hope that you end up old and all alone
Keep falling over that same fucking step on your front porch
(Your front porch!)
Most people learn from their mistakes
But you'll just stay here tripping on the same mistakes
You always do
Maybe you realize what you did, what it changed
But I doubt it
Even if you do, I will wait here
I will be here!

Calling it early again,
I’m far from sober,
This isn’t closure,
And distractions aren’t what they used to be.
Calling it early again,
It’s inescapable just how incapable I really am,
I think it’s cause it feels like it’s never been this way before,
16 was the age where I tried to be over my youth.
I’d be lying if I told you any differently,
Your point of view was lacking trust in all the things I tried to be .
It feels like it’s never been this way before,
16 was the age where I tried to be over my youth,
And I’m not saying it was stormy weather,
But it was clear we wouldn’t last forever,
You know it’s true.
So fuck all the waiting,
The stress I’m creating,
I’m finally here.
16 the age where we tried to be over our youth.
You know it’s the truth.
It feels like it’s never been this way before,

Drive around South Chesapeake
Chain smoke until our lungs bleed
Anything that we can do to make this feel like something new
'Cause I'm no savior but I have to save her
The scissors on your skin won't get you through this
You want to be free but can you afford the price its costing
Where did I go wrong in helping you get along
If the world were a perfect place hearts wouldn't break
If the world were a perfect place I could write a song to make you stay
I'd make you stay
I'd make you stay

i had no reason to stay back with you
we knew we had to learn the world outside your room
but i always keep on looking back
wondering about the path you took
do you have yourself all figured out?
enough for you to turn around and say
the past was something great
but i love the way we’ve changed
‘cause i can’t sleep
every night you still haunt me
it’s not in what you do
or what we’ve both been through
i guess i just miss you
what exactly did i lose
when i gave up my life with you
watching lesser men all take my place?
they don't know your handling the way i did,
but has it changed?
‘cause i still see frustration painted on your face
your boyfriend always lets you down
so why do you keep him around?
i thought you would know better by now
‘cause i can’t sleep
every night you still haunt me
it’s not in what you do
or what we’ve both been through
but you should know that
i can’t sleep
all your problems still trouble me
i want to save you
from all that you’ve been through
i guess i miss you

There’s a sign down in Oak Beach
Where we carved our initials
I X’d them out the other day
There’s a sign down in Oak Beach
Where we carved in our initials
I X’d them out the other day
And I must admit the view
still looks beautiful without you;
something isn’t the same
I’ll admit I still drive past your house
when I’m nearby
just to see your porch light that says
“She’s safe at home or she’s out with her friends”
You say you’re miserable now
I am too
that’s the closest that we’ll get to compromise
‘Cause I’m done lying
That things are fine
When things aren’t fine
I’ll admit I still drive past your house
when I’m nearby
just to see your porch light that says
“She’s safe at home or she’s out with her friends”
But you lie and you cheat, even if it’s with me
its hard to pick you back up when you’re stuck on your knees
and you can’t get enough; No, you’re never pleased
so you kiss him goodnight, but in my bed you sleep
yeah you kiss him goodnight, but in my bed you sleep
and I can’t fuckin’ sleep
Don’t call me, I won’t pick up
I’ll admit I still drive past your house
when I’m nearby
just to see your porch light that says
“She’s safe at home or she’s out with her friends”
But you lie and you cheat, even if it’s with me

Oh God! It's breaking me down
Although I create the sound!
The light, it's burning my eyes
And I just can't seem to find hope
And if you knew it's all for nothing
Would you do it? Would you do it?
And if you knew it's all for love
Would you pursue? Would you pursue it?
I heard among an ocean swell
The sea said along it's curls
"For love"

By now, I seem to have a grasp on what I want / And everything you're not / Tried to slow things down / I turned myself around / If I can find it in myself, I'll write you off / As I disregard my days, worries seem to drift further away / Our thinking starts to change / Is everything fading? / With some luck I should be fine / Fall for whatever sheds some light / As the pressure builds again, I'm losing track of where I've been right / Making progress on my own terms / Moving less than I thought I would / Giving up on what's understood / Like I knew I should

I'll bet you'll sink into that couch.
But I could say the same thing about myself.
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.
Treat us with stories of when you were out of your mind.
Treat us with stories about anything I don't mind.
Treat us with stories like I'd treat friends of mine.
And I know that your brother is famous but he plays it cool regardless.
I know your landlord will hate this song.
So long.
You're back so soon but it still reminds me we are only here for so long.
