Black & Blue

Sending out a message.. S.O.S
Heading down below
Been running my whole life
Now it's time to fight
There's only one way I know
Knock me down again
Kick me in the head
Beat me Black & Blue
I've got my friends to see me through
One left in the chamber, you're fucking dead
I've got nowhere left to turn
So I'll just turn away
and live to fight another day
This message is tried and true
and if you've got my back
I'll be there for you
Knock me down again
Kick me in the head
Beat me Black & Blue
I've got my friends to see me through
One left in the chamber, you're fucking dead

Getting By

We had the best times
We had the worst
Those were the days we thought we'd rule the universe
We'd sing our favorite tunes
We'd drink till we ran dry
We're brothers till the very end until the die we die
We were young
We were dumb
We had the world in front of us
We played our drinking songs and our sing alongs
about never growing up
Years passed by
They flew out the door
We can't drink as much as we used to anymore
Now we sing this song and the message that we'll send
is growing up ain't that hard, as long as you've got friends
We are young
We are dumb
The world is still in front of us
The same old drinking songs and the sing alongs
about never growing up

Lock Me Away
01:27

|

Not sure what is real anymore
If I can't even keep my feet on the floor
It's all inside my head
I was as worn out as a photograph
Stick me in the attic and don't look back
It's better left unsaid
I'm the best kept secret, keep it to yourself
Seal me up and put me back on the shelf
I can't wait till I expire
Sanity hung me out on a wire
Don't expect me around anymore
This is the end that I was asking for
Lock me away
When I rue in the night
My confidence turns to spite
It's all inside my head
This is very familiar, my gold has turned to silver
and it's better left unsaid
I'm the best kept secret, keep it to yourself
Seal me up and put me back on the shelf
I can't wait till expire
Sanity hung me out on a wire
Don't expect me around anymore
This is the end that I was begging for
Lock me away.

Ghosts of Yesterday
02:46
|
|
||
The past is plagued with memories full of regret
So much time is spent just trying to forget
Where we went wrong
We're always battling the ghosts of yesterday
They'll be there to see your fall from grace
You may think you can escape
but they'll haunt you till you're in your grave
But I won't lay down for the ghosts of yesterday.
Mistakes we made are catching up to us real fast
Even if we try we know we can't change the past
Where'd we go wrong?
We're always battling the ghosts of yesterday
They'll be there to see your fall from grace
You may think you can escape
but they'll haunt you till you're in your grave
But I won't lay down for the ghosts of yesterday

Scars
02:56

I'll never fucking learn
Old habits they die hard
I've got so many stories left to tell with these old scars
What does it matter?
I'm giving up the fight
Cause I'm still haunted by the ghosts that keep me up at night
I've never been so lost
Broken back I'm broken down
Cause I can't find no meaning in this fucking toxic town
Came to look for answers but I'm going home confused
Just another useless boy, who's been beaten down and abused
I should have known all along
You were never gonna hear my song
I look in the mirror
Moments pass me by
The man that I once knew
has gone away tonight
But I'll always be that angry kid I was when I was young
Cause I'm still the one
A song came on the radio
reminded me of you
Changed the channel tried to cope but I hope you're thinking of me too
I calm my nerves with alcohol
With whiskey or with beer
And I think about the road that brought us here
Now I'm left to wonder
Where did we end up?
We ran around in circles
trying to make it to the top
Sure as the sun will rise and set
Where are my friends that know me best?
I might not belong, but I'll carry on
I know I'll carry on
I look in the mirror
Moments pass me by
The man that I once knew
has gone away tonight
But I'll always be that angry kid I was when I was young
Cause I'm still the one

I wasn't listening to what you said
I was busy living in my head
More compelling where and when I intend
because FUCK THE FUTURE
I was too busy laughing in your face
You didn't see it , it's written out and traced
Only two people ever leave this place
Freaks and losers
If you didn't get the joke
And it can't be explained
How can anybody live that way?
I don't believe that you got it figured out
If you're jaded there will always be some doubt
Yeah, you're jaded, you'll never quite figure out
it's now or never
Things are never what they seem
Got to look at the lines and in between
But it's tearing me apart at the seams
This won't last forever
If you made it this far
then go back the way you came
The joke is that it's all a game
Cross out my number
I was never here
Just a spot in a place
Just in case meant to disappear

Losing It
02:19
|
|

24 hours 7 different thoughts
asking who I am and why
There's plenty of time, but I'm losing my head
and it's my excuse for life
There's always loss
There's always compromise
I think I've figured out why
If everyone's out to get you
you're losing it
When you're worlds caving in around
you're losing it
But we're all together
and we've lost it all
A call came on the telephone
I'm amazed I'm not alone
The only place I think I'd like to go
is downtown or to a show
There's always loss
There's always compromise
I think I've figured out why
If everyone's out to get you
you're losing it
When you're worlds caving in around
you're losing it
But we're all together
and we've lost it all

Drinking From the Sink
02:19

Do you remember what you did last night
when the well went high and dry?
Too young to stand up
to drunk to get up left screaming at the sky
Same old story
chasing down the glory
There's more to give in letting go
If you never take a drink than you're never gonna know
Do you remember what you did last night
when you were drowning in a dream?
No one there to pull you out
it's exactly as it seems
Same old story
chasing down the glory
There's more to give in letting go
If you never take a drink than you're never gonna know
It's not what you think but it's all that you know.
I don't wanna live in world so cold
It's not what you think but it's all that you know
The bottles getting high and I'm getting low
Same old story
chasing down the glory
There's more to give in letting go
If you never take a drink than you're never gonna know

Passive Aggressive
02:22
|
|

My patience is wearing thin and I can't take anymore
Of your never ending need, to be seen and to be heard
You talk too much and you feed your ego
You think you're some kind of fucking hero
You undermine every goddamned thing I say
That's not my definition of being a friend
Let's put an end to your passive aggression
It's time to show your cards
Cause I don't have the strength I need to be guessing
What it is that tore us apart
All those little digs that you throw in
They always seem to find their way under my skin
You talk too much and you feed your ego
You think you're some kind of fucking hero
You undermine every goddamned thing I say
That's not my definition of being a friend
Let's put an end to your passive aggression
It's time to show your cards
Cause I don't have the strength I need to be guessing
What it is that tore us apart
Let's put an end to your passive aggression

Here lies my self esteem
Sent into the ground by my apathy
Never said I learned my lesson
No regrets! No confessions!
Truth be told
I never was one to care
I couldn't tell you why everyone was there
What mattered most didn't matter at all
you're looking down
I'm waiting to fall
It's all absurd and unbelievable
But I want you all to laugh
Take what they give you and throw it back
Here lies my self esteem
Sent into the ground by my apathy
Never said I learned my lesson
No regrets! No confessions!
Of course I'm old and it's harder to create
With one foot in the past one in a sorry state
I'm still believin in a life worth livin
where we laugh and we sing and we can't stop grinning
because anyone bitter never worked for minimum wage
and anyone if bitter never works for minimum wage
they were forced to act their age
But I want you all to laugh
Take what they give you and throw it back
Here lies my self esteem
Sent into the ground by my apathy
Never said I learned my lesson
No regrets! No confessions!
Every last part of me is expendable
That's what you get when standing in a Loser's Circle
What do you recommend when you gotta go through
a lot of shit before you reach the end

Small Town Wasteland
02:58
|
|

Wasted weekends were all that we had
Hanging out in empty parking lots
Having nights that never end
Seems we're doing all the same shit that's been done before
Chasing teenage fantasies became such a fucking bore
But we didn't know that there was so much more to life
We were young and angry, full of rage and full of spite
It's cause we're stuck inside this shitty place
where we can't get things done right
Fuck this, cause our paths aren't set in stone
This small town, just ain't big enough
You gotta get out while you can before you're stuck
Cause we'll be dead right where we stand
Trapped in the hell that is this small town wasteland
Another weekend has come and it has gone
We're still searching for a purpose, trying to find where we belong
But I know if we keep looking for a better place to go
We'll finally find all the answers, that we've been looking for
If we stay too long we'll sure as hell be left behind
to spend the rest of our days slowly losing what's left of our mind
If we tread these waters carefully, we're gonna make it out alive
Well fuck this, let's pack our things and go
This small town, just ain't big enough
You gotta get out while you can before you're stuck
Cause we'll be dead right where we stand
Trapped in the hell that is this small town wasteland

Loser's Circle

I've got an anger deep within
Don't know if I'll sink or swim
I'm always standing in the Loser's Circle cause I know I'll never win
No matter how hard I try, I'm never gonna win this fight
There's no sense in moving forward, I'm a loser till I die
Cause I'm falling faster everyday
All these insufficiencies that plague my brain won't go away
I'm trying to understand the ins and outs
of all these thoughts inside and what they're all about.
Gotta get this off my chest
or I'll never get no rest
I'm still waiting in the Loser's Circle
and I'm cleaning up your mess
I can't stay here anymore
See me walking through that door
I'm down but I'm not out, I've lost the battle not the war
Cause I'm falling faster everyday
All these insufficiencies that plague my brain won't go away
I'm trying to understand the ins and outs
of all these thoughts inside and what they're all about.
