Better Days 03:49
When you get away. Will you get your way? Here now I’m gone. Time whittled fine, stab it in my spine Making moments last Through ancient graphs On paper graves You make me laugh We had a blast That won’t last I see Better Days, The truths in the myst now, I heard you’ll stay for better days. I heard you say. The futures a myth now for better days. When you get away, will you get your way? Here now you’re gone Time whittled fine, stab it in my eye

I know I’ve seen this man before And he's looking through my door And if I turn on the light There was no one in sight I know I’ve seen this face before When I’m looking through my door And if I turn the other way It vanishes like the day So lock your doors It’s not safe anymore There’s a Jerk With a Smirk And he’s truly yours Don’t you dread He’s been fed Many spines and heads Theres a Jerk With a Smirk And he’s in your bed I know I’ve seen this place before When I’m looking at the floor And if i turn on the light Oh, oh what a sight. I know I’ve seen that face before It was looking pale and pure Another day, another dream Another life, another scream So lock your doors It’s not safe anymore There’s a Jerk With a Smirk And well I’m, I’m truly yours Don’t you dread I've been fed Many spines and heads Theres a Jerk With a Smirk And now I’m in your head

All The Time 01:56
I knew a guy with a heart of gold A simple man and a simple soul Got shanked, got robbed kicked in the head Now he lays in a hospital bed Bad things happen to good people All The Time I can’t tell you why, that’s how things go by Justice served, wouldn’t you say? I knew a guy who shot a man Face down in the sand Got paid, got laid Now he’s got a wife and he leads a happy life Good things happen to bad people All The Time I can’t tell you why, that’s how things go by Justice served, wouldn’t you say?

Bitter Slow 03:36
Turn your eyes away from the sun. The light it gives, only gives help to some. For those like you and me theres the moon and the sea For those like you and me there’s time and eternity Below these dark skies reigns a bitter taste undone. The stench of broken dreams, and shattered wants of love For those lost souls sulking in those streets For those lost souls my demise is bittersweet. And this now you shall know In this life it can be Bitter Slow Take a lesson and you’ll grow In this life you can be quickly unknown Turn your face away from the crowd. With their judging eyes and their empty vows For those like you and me there’s the truth and belief For those like you and me there’s a life incomplete.

High Tide 03:18
And all the time you spent there waiting at home. You could be here with me so alone, but it could be you, it could be me. What can I say? One thing that I know for sure is you’re gonna pay. I’ll be the one waiting here, in High Tide You’ll be the one hanging there, hanging dry. I’ll be the one waiting here, in Hight Tide It could be you, it could be me but I can’t decide. And if you find me somewhere, waiting alone, You could be here with me, so unknown, but it could be you, it could be me. What can I say? One thing that I know for sure is you’re gonna pay. Here inside the water where you’re fine again. In your way, we’re the same again.

Naked 02:55
They say chivalry is dead. So I brought hime back to life Then he found himself a wife, but then she cheated on him twice. They say clothes make the man Well what man made your clothes? And does he know all the woe woven in those folds? I’m Naked, and you’re achin’ I’m achin’, and you’re Naked I’m Naked, and you’re achin’ I’m achin’, don’t get so sore

Ms. Anything 04:21
Hello doctor, hello nurse I feel it in my head, I think it’s a curse It’s building up, it’s getting larger. It’s in my head and it’s here again I’ve come too far to end. Is it a fever? Is it the chills? I feel it in my head, I think I need a pill. It’s building up, I’m coming down The voices come and it’s here again Don’t let them drag me down Erase my mind just this one time. It won’t hurt one bit A peace of mind, please be kind I won’t miss a thing, I won’t miss Ms. Anything. Listen doctor to these words I’ll do anything to break this curse. It’s building up, you know I’m down The voices come and they’re here again Don’t let me go I’ll drown.

Let It Go 04:08
Like the apple that cuts your mouth So sweet, so deep. The taste on your poison lips reminds me to live. So listen here, listen close. Don’t say you will, ‘cause you won’t When it all happens in a row Let It Go Over and over again it’s unchanged the aim, was shame. You got a look that kills, why don’t you tempt me? You know the drill But when you let it go, make sure you know what’s gone ‘Cause when you turn back and you look once again You’ll be so disappointed, wishing that you had pointed that finger, back at yourself

Live your lovely life. You got a hungry eye. You’ll give it up, You’ll eat it up You’ll eat it up He wove a tapestry of tragedy Got a ticket down to hell Whistle Blower Whistle Blower In a cell. Live your lovely life. You got a hungry eye. You’ll eat it up You’ll eat it up You read enough You lead lovely life. You got a hungry eye. You’ll beat him up, He bleeds enough You’ll eat it up

The words said it all, I can’t stop our fall but still I’m looking up. I never look around, 'cause I don’t see the point but show me where you’re headed You hate this life, I do too That’s why I’ll say to you I don’t trust anybody, but I might for you. Not just anybody, in this life will do I looked away, you did too Ms. Ann Thrope, I love you even if you don’t. The words said it all, I can’t stop our fall but still I’m looking up. I never look around, ‘cause I found that I’m lost but show me where we’re headed. You hate this life, I do too That’s why I’ll say to you She hates the world, but that’s my girl x2 I got no chance for sweet romance, but that’s my girl.

Medicine 03:07
It’s all deep inside You got nothing to hide We got a little time Well no no no no no Let’s go I know My dose x2 On again, on your medicine. Hear again, all your sentences I’m on again Medicine

Asteroid 02:38
Many miles away, comes a rock headed our way. And the sky, turns to dust. And the water tastes like rust Here comes the Asteroid It’s come to fill your void Better make it good, better make it last cause it’s coming fast In the shallow confidence, lies the truth waiting immense. And the sky turns to dust. And the water just combusts

Slave to a substance, employed to a toy. Loyal to the royal, the end of all. Leaders are not readers They make a lot of noise. The makers are the takers, the end of all Joy Now laugh it off. Why don’t you laugh it off? Have you had enough? There’s a dye in our sky, and a potion in our ocean Words are so thin, yet so often spoken. There’s a gun for a guy, and a bomb for a boy. It’s the end of all, end of all Slave to a substance, employed to a toy. Loyal to the royal, the end of all. Leaders are not readers They make a lot of noise. I swear the makers are the takers, the end of all Joy Why don’t you have enough? Why don’t you have enough? "I think you’ve had enough"
