IMAGINARY LINES 02:30
lyrics
Everybody's think about destruction yeah especially this last year so fuck those gods that last for ages and the morons that are all full of fear because everybody know that the earth is a flammable sphere so with all the flaws in the creation mankind's full evacuation is near because we all have lost our minds and these are the last days of our lives and we are the last ones of it's kind As far as i see our lives here are diseased and fake and i have had enough it's all a fucking game you all should fell ashamed and plagued your deaths won't be enough we're rotting like the trees no afterlife indeed just wait i refuse to make this up we're all just planting seeds there's no much more to be just invade imaginary lines... People started all this fuss about a bounty on a man forced to tears but in all reality he wants to make a change to better the years but everybody know that a gun only resonates fear so with all the flaws in inspiration mankind's full evacuation's near because we all have lost our minds and these are the last days of our lives and we are the last ones of it's kind As far as i see our lives here are diseased and fake and i have had enough it's all a fucking game you all should fell ashamed and plagued your deaths won't be enough we're rotting like the trees no afterlife indeed just wait i refuse to make this up we're all just planting seeds there's no much more to be just invade imaginary lines...

THE WORST CHEST PAINS 02:42
lyrics
Such a boring day i waste my time around the house i swear i need to relocate this i think i won't hold back it's a work in progress anyways it's a story about your ups and downs i can't wait for it to be complete so maybe we can leave this town these hard fucking training grounds and grow... It's all capital don't try and change the human way do you resent your parents girl do you think that they just can't relate is your love running out tonight is it hard for you to fall asleep or do you dream in cabaret oh what a lonely way to live Girl it's like the worst chest pains a place that you just can't escape no i can't go on this way and live in this world it's just not for all of us girl however it's all that we know it's hard just to follow it all that's involved with it's growth Still it's glorious the fact that i'm allowed to breathe is this all a film that's well rehearsed and do i get to play the lead well i don't want the part with strings attached so take back all your offerings i just want the fucking treasure map so i can arrange to leave i feel my lungs collapsing. Girl it's like the worst chest pains a place that you just can't escape no i can't go on this way and live in this world it's just not for all of us girl however it's all that we know it's hard just to follow it all that's involved with it's growth

GOOD SONGS 02:36
lyrics
And go so merry on your way If that will make your day Full and exciting I'll just stay here writing These notes I'll gracefully display And try and write with taste Recording actions Through life a song to match them It's like tunes they come and go So perfect in their place A song in motion flows When perfectly arranged You know not even getting high Can give me butterflies Like masterpieces Classic pop releases Don't drone Quit staying in one place Just a verse before I break apart in pieces Candy coat the sequence And then boom It grows and knows That somehow you'll relate Because a song in motion flows When perfectly arranged And it's getting everyone by Because it's always right Tunes they grow and flow So perfect in their place So toast to a very lovely day Singing songs to fill your space Like aunts and nieces Your love for them increases Each tone is like a family member's place In a photo album's page Secured adhesives We stick to what completes us And then boom They'll grow and know That somehow they're in place Just like a song in motion flows When perfectly arranged And it's getting everyone by Because it's always right Tunes they come and go So perfect in their place Just like a song in motion flows When perfectly arranged When it's always the right note

IT SUCKS JUST TO FEEL 01:21
lyrics
A couple of thrills to top off defeat Now stuck in my mind My defense is blown away A couple of pills to help me to sleep I'm rubbing my eyes My room has become his stage And now my brain will provide The sounds that you made As your thighs were wrapped around lies And pain Girl you're fucking driving me crazy My blood will run thin, all through the streets I want him to die I want you to shed disease I'm going to film what I tried to be My lover stays dry, a short documentary My life's tongue-in-cheek Laughs are cheap And the rest is just boring old fashioned defeat Oh yes it is Girl you're fucking driving me Driving me Driving me Driving me Driving me Driving me Driving me down It sucks just to feel It sucks to feel alone It sucks that you're real It sucks that's you're really gone

I DON'T NEED A LOT OF THINGS / AROUND THE WORLD 02:23
lyrics
I don't need a lot of things Like a dream to keep me free Teenage screams Label fees TV screens I just feel it's over my head to be famous I'd rather ride out instead with the strangers And talk about the oddities Not about my new CD Things we need like food we eat The air we breathe I just think it tangles a web into danger I'd rather write about it in bed That's more my language It's more my language So make sure you're happy in this great big world To have fun is all we need I'll let the future have its own with me I'm sure it'll set me free Come on and set me free Well I take a look around and I see all of your faces You just remind me how much I fucking hate this place So I took a little trip to see all that I could I even went out and visited old Hollywood But now back here in this shitty old town All I want to do is go around the world Now everybody here likes to say that they all hate me Just 'cause a man like me don't like to shake his baby I see them all down at the club on a Saturday night Four of five trendbots step up to me, wanting to fight So as soon as I get done kicking everybody's ass If anybody asks, I'm around the world Around the world Around the world Around the world

CROSS EXAMINATIONS 02:23
lyrics
It seems our conversations just turn into fights It's not that we intend to, it's just that we're both right I guess my cross examinations came off too uptight It was never to offend you, yet it never sounds too wise They're just situations Automating ways we feel And things that we've touched on No we've raised a lot of questions Covering many fields Though there's no time to continue They ground we made felt real But anyway, there's no escaping how you feel You'll find inside no room to hide And soon you will reveal The stipulations you've created And finally you will see the damage done Though we've arrived We've not been here long It's a pissed off day but I'm letting go Because I can't take my problems out on you 'Cause if I did I'd be a jerk So I won't give my lonely heart to you I guess my lousy conversations Made you turn that night To a man who pays attention And treats your body right It just takes drunken fools and darkness To ruin one man's life An equation leaving hearts broke In a never ending fight For liberating indication How you'll be and act for years to come Because of that night, my body feels numb It's a pissed off day but I'm letting go Because I can't take my problems out on you 'Cause if I did I'd be a jerk So I won't give my lonely heart to you No I won't

THE TURNIP INSIDE ME 02:25
lyrics
I sure walked a fine line over you I believe it was feelings of abuse 'Cause I'm so vain I want those city lights to remain Lit over your lasting impressions of pain Yeah, they're all about the same And I'm about to say That I feel captured, captured, captured Captured here by fate About an hour late Girl, I knot on the inside over you See these lyrical portraits are my only escape However the hours are growing late And I feel this is the last honest breath I can take Girl, I know I make mistakes And I know this all sounds fake You gotta see I'm a bastard, a bastard, a bastard And a bastard can't relate To a life that's unafraid See it makes me feel frail And I can't open my eyes So what I have to realize This is real There's no games to play this time I'm going out of my way And now I'm seeing the light And it all looks to bright This feels so good and real this time And I'm moving onward with my life

SCIENCE DON'T MEAN SHIT 01:40
lyrics
Oh it's weird, this whole life How it makes you breathe I fall down on my knees and pray I just can't take this I want to erase this 'Cause it's way too crazy for me And it ain't right, dealing with space This human race ain't all that great So why do we fake it Let's face it It's not all about you and me, girl Still it feels so good When you hold my hand You're the only thing that makes me care If this earth survives 'Cause you make me forget That all I do is stay alive Oh and I ran in place For a billion days Chasing all my dreams And I could just about taste it Days I wasted I think it's related That creation is all a disease Or was I just wasting time Writing down these lines Or is it all about patience In a nation That is easily confused On what to eat, Lord See it sounds so dumb But it's in our hands Is it so damn hard to say What makes this word survive See science don't mean shit If love's not by your side By your side Oh and these days seem long With those altitudes you hike And all this racing's wrong When your feet are blocks of ice Still they don't care No they don't care And I live in waste And it won't change Yes it all stays the same Won't someone replace it

THE TIES EVERLASTING 01:57
lyrics
I never wanted to be open Now I'm open I'm tired of us talking In fractions Subliminal actions 'Cause I hate this That I need it So I want it to go away You tell me there's no need for high fashion Then you leave me for faggots So my ashes have been grated Invaded and blown away So suicide may help me unfasten But the ties everlasting When you're down in the grave They'll write you off for so many reasons You can never please them It's a horror display I've given up on so many problems I'll leave you to solve them And when you're in the course of this action You'll know all the facts then And you'll hate them That you need them Still you'll want them to stay So suicide may help me unfasten But the ties everlasting When you're down in the grave They'll write you off for so many reasons You can never please them It's a horror display So count your blessings Now that you've got them Make sure not to drop them 'Cause they're rotting away They'll write you off for so many reasons But it's never too easy when it sounds good on tape

MY ISOLATION DRILLS 01:48
lyrics
The oxygen has lost its place in my lungs I just can't seem to blow it out for this song If you would kindly move my mouth Sing my words and complete this phrase I always thought the day I died would be great But now it's eating at my life It can wait If you finally kiss my my mouth Eat my wounds and complete my days So fuck what they say We all die in this ground Yes we're all lost in space In these isolated towns Until the day that we all figure out That suicide won't save me But it's right there next to my youth I cut my arms to free my grip On my love I can't control my self-abuse It's too strong If you would leave this house Pack your bags and run for your life So fuck what they say We all go down this round 'Cause we're floating in space In fragments we call towns I'm awaiting the day that we all figure out that suicide won't save me
