Cocktails & Dreams

Stale beer, bad breath,
yellow lights motherfuckin' up my rest
Thin blood, hot mess
puking guts right out of my chest
I've got the shakes, I've got the fucking nerve
I'm spewing slurry bullshit, it's looking like I'll never learn
Go home, get paid
The girls are fuckin' lame, I wanna get laid
Everybody's laughing at this stupid fucking joke
Everybody's laughing even though they lost hope
I'm cracking up while I'm stumblin' in line
Because the punchline is "everybody dies"
Take me to the city where the grass isn't green
Take me to the city where the girls are fuckin' mean
I don't even care, don't expect me try
The pretty ones are laughing while pretending to cry
If this is fucking paradise then I just wanna fucking die
If this is fucking paradise then I just wanna fucking die
If this is fucking paradise then I just wanna fucking die
If this is fucking paradise then I just wanna fucking die
I run my fucking mouth, but no-one's listening
Pacing back and forth in the grass where I've been pissin' in
Nothing's gonna change and we'll all just stay the same
I'm getting sick of the people, they all look the fucking same
Everybody's laughing at this stupid fucking joke
Everybody's laughing even though they lost hope
I'm cracking up while I'm stumblin' in line
Because the punchline is "everybody dies"
Take me to the city where the grass isn't green
Take me to the city where the girls are fuckin' mean
I don't even care, don't expect me try
The pretty ones are laughing while pretending to cry
Take me to the river full of poison,
Take me to a new place to decay
Take me to the tracks, underneath the stars
As the wind's tuneless song begins to play
So take me to the river full of poison,
the sky's falling on me here tonight
These eyes of mine are feeling jaded
So let's ride that fucker home!

There is no place that feels like home
In an airport or sleeping on a stranger's floor
Just a staggered line of vision as I wake to the sound
Of the trains racing by
And I can see the dark circles growing 'round my eyes
I feel the lines getting bigger 'round my shit-eating smile
They say I need to go to church but I'll just say to myself
"Everything in moderation but moderation itself"
My head's full of regret, my lungs are filled with anguish
I don't think high or myself, and I don't think when I'm high
Another restless night spent on this couch in the living room
Spent tossing and turning, wanting to drink so that my stomach stops burning
Can you lie, can you lie, can you lie, can you lie?
The curtains are dropping, it's about fucking time
And I'm dying to live and I'm living a lie
I'll let the ship sink just to drink 'til I die
I'm fading
You're wasting your life on me
The skeletons in your closet are welcoming me
With open arms

Chemtrails
02:46
|
|||
I left a chem-trail to the adolescent cave
Will it find me back in here in to my brain?
Will it make me feel old to be insane?
'Cause I won't let my past induce my shame
Everyday now it's clear to me
That the ugly days are history
I dream of yesterday as I sleep for tomorrow
It reminds me of my childhood sorrow
And I don't want to go back to Freehold Drive
Cause I'll get the chills right down my spine
I was a young boy who didn't play with toys
Instead I'd scream and shout 'til I lost my voice
And no-one understood a thing I said
I had my own little world in my clueless head
As I grew older I didn't fit in
I was always giving up and always quitting
I couldn't find love but I never did drugs
I was a lost soul with my pot of bad luck
And now I know what true love is
And I also know what heartbreak is
I hate having feelings for all the others
When the feelings aren't the same for one another
This is a stage of my life
Between caterpillar, butterfly
Between self-control and selflessness
In my cold crooked twist
This is a stage of my life
Between inside and outside
It's not just run or hide, it's fight or flight
It's death or lonely life
This is a stage of my life
Between caterpillar, butterfly
Between self-control and selflessness
In my cold crooked twist
This is a stage of my life
Between inside and outside
It's not just run or hide, it's fight or flight
It's death or lonely life

5, 6, 7, 8!
My eyes are burning; I think something I caught up in them
Spending nights on my bedside, tossing and turning
And these days are getting warmer, but all I feel is cold
And when the summers disappear the winter's all I've ever known
(I know, I know, I know, I know
I know it's bad for me
Under all of the snow and ice,
The cities look the same to me
I know, I know, I know, I know
I'm a goddamn tragedy
Under all of the snow and ice
This city looks the same to me)
My stomach burns until it turns
One of these days I'll never learn
Fuck you but thanks for the concern
For this, I'm running out of words
I'll smoke and drink and fuck all night
I can't stand turning on the lights
Even if I tried I know I'll never give a fuck
I'll spend my days down in this rut
I stumble drunkenly,
past the point of no return
I'm rubbing dirt in to my eyes,
flesh wounds opened up broken lies.
I'm coughing up my lungs
as the cigarette smoke rolls past my windowsill
All I've got left is my time to kill

Backseat Prom Queen
03:39
|
|
||
The blood on your chrysanthemum corsage
After all the hit's you've dodged
The rips on your black and red dress
It's time to confess
Where you have you been? Running off with him?
Are you hurting with him, like I'm hurting within?
I'm sick of watching this punching bag exchange
Darling I will make things change
Sweet girl won't you run and hide?
Or make this our night, 'cause I'm dying tonight?
Backseat prom queen
Come on home and dance with me
Paranoid angel, sad annoyed stranger
Come with me and get away from the danger now
The past it swallows your trust and follows your doubt
When there's no-one around
With a gentle soul and a pinch of love
Because a little's enough
My heart will follow your trust and swallow your doubt
As you breathe safe in my house
The scars will show how brave and bold you truly are
Darling I will heal your scars
I wish we could disappear
Your hands are shaking dear
Your green eyes are full of fear
No more pain, it won't be the same now that I am here
Backseat prom queen
Come on home and dance with me
Paranoid angel, sad annoyed stranger
Come with me and get away from the danger now
Backseat prom queen
Blood stained like Halloween
Suicide princess, tired and restless
Come with me and don't ever regress now
You're safe with me now
So safe and sound
Backseat prom queen
Come on home and dance with me
Paranoid angel, sad annoyed stranger
Come with me and get away from the danger now
Backseat prom queen
Blood stained like Halloween
Suicide princess, tired and restless
Come with me and don't ever regress now

Final Generation
03:01
|
|
||
I saw myself hanging from the ceiling in the same room where I fell in love
I heard the sirens of the world blaring high before I've drawn my blood
The world was damned before I saw the flames of hell engulf my soul
The carbon dioxide escaped my breath before the bullet in my pistol
And I saw the four leaf clovers burn before we ran out of luck
And I heard the messengers say long-story-short that we are fucked
And this is where it ends
And it's all ending tonight
And this is how it goes
It burns away like fireflies
So this is how it ends
Everyone is dying here tonight
They're dying here tonight
We've all been struck out in the 9th inning, now nature is winning
And our final demise is approaching, as the smoke is in for the choking
I saw the sun get closer, as we flew like a rollercoaster
The sirens blared much louder, here and now in the final hour
I miss everything and everyone in the blink of an eye
I swear on everything and everyone I'm not ready to die
And this is where it ends
And it's all ending tonight
And this is how it goes
It burns away like fireflies
So this is how it ends
Everyone is dying here tonight
They're dying here tonight
We are the final generation
And this is our realization
So this is how it ends

One Way Window
02:28
|
|

One night I felt like it was my fault
I woke up with a scream that shook the walls
It's been so long since you've called
Your words still echo through the halls
One morning I woke up, you weren't there
I wanna know if you ever thought of me
This house fell apart and I was scared
I wish you knew how much I didn't want you to leave
These words are cursed, every hour
"I'll put us first", turned cold and sour
We cried our tears, but you got louder
You fought our fears until this ugly hour
The door slammed the pictures fell on the floor
You took something I will never get again
Don't understand, I'm a child and nothing more
I knew for sure I'd never see you again
These words are cursed, every hour
"I'll put us first", turned cold and sour
We cried our tears, but you got louder
You fought our fears until this ugly hour
These words are cursed, every hour
"I'll put us first", turned cold and sour
We cried our tears, but you got louder
You fought our fears until this ugly hour
Maybe this goodbye is a new hello
But all the love went out a one way window

Hit A Deer
01:58
|
|

I hit a deer in the middle of the road
The body laid there in the middle of the snow
I felt the guilt coursing through my head
I took a life and I'm filled with fucking dread
The airbags came as the car fucking hit
I'd rather drive my car right off a fucking cliff
I'm a waste of brains, destroying everything
Wasting your time, wasting fucking anything
I need a savior for my nihilist behavior
I'd rather live than die
What am I doing, 'cause I'm fucking losing
It's like I fell right out of the sky
I'll cleanse my head with some black velvet
I'll taint my soul with some deadly sins
I'll erase the past and they'll know my name
From this point on my actions are not restrained
So fill my tank or the cups of booze
I need a time and place to let myself loose
Not pace the floor between there beige walls
While I wait here for an unexpected call
I need a savior for my nihilist behavior
I'd rather live than die
What am I doing, 'cause I'm fucking losing
It's like I fell right out of the sky
It's a cliché to say it gets better is a cliché
All we wanna know is when and what way
I need a savior for my nihilist behavior
I'd rather live than die
What am I doing, 'cause I'm fucking losing
It's like I fell right out of the sky
All we wanna know is when and what way
All we wanna know is when and what way
All we wanna know is when and what way
All we wanna know is when and what way

Midnight Drive, Lullaby
02:36
|
|
||
Shrouded in unsettling mystery
These days belong in ancient history
This interstate disappeared into the dead of night behind me
Looking left and right, ain't nothing here to find
Apprehensive about this pretense
As I make this midnight drive
Sing me softly to sleep with these sharp lullabies
When I look to the city skyline
I drift to sentiment at this presentiment
This burning sensation I wish it'd go
And I write to you from this tenement
Where to go from here, hell I don't know
The words that you wrote corroded
While my heart inside my chest imploded
I'm a pessimist full of regret
And resentfulness
I confess this petulance
And I confess my own indolence
I don't blame you for second guessing
I don't blame you for second guessing
I don't blame you for second guessing
I don't blame you for second guessing me
I drift to sentiment at this presentiment
This burning sensation I wish it'd go
And I write to you from this tenement
Where to go from here, hell I don't know
Leave me here, bury me in the snow

If I don't write this down, I'll forget it by morning light
It's 12:55 and I've been thinking of you all night
Dreaming of rustic buildings, walking along streets paved with stone
I want it back, life's never seemed so monotone
Wake up, wake up, my headlight's shining through your window
My heart's hanging in limbo, coming through your radio
Kiss me, kiss me, the hypochondriac
To the summer as our soundtrack, but right now I'm seeing black
I just can't believe how addictive you are
And after all this time, the withdrawals never seem to end
My lungs are burning, you breathe the smoke right out of me
And god I miss those queen sized sheets
Wake up, wake up, my headlight's shining through your window
My heart's hanging in limbo, coming through your radio
Kiss me, kiss me, the hypochondriac
To the summer as our soundtrack, but right now I'm seeing black
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, my headlight's shining through your window
My heart's hanging in limbo, coming through your radio
Kiss me, kiss me, the hypochondriac
To the summer as our soundtrack, but right now I'm seeing black
Right now I'm seeing black
Right now I'm seeing...
Kiss me, kiss me, the hypochondriac
To the summer as our soundtrack, but right now I'm seeing black
