  • I Was Better Off

    From my mouth
    now more and more everyday
    words that have nothing to say
    Well, I'll find something someday

    I thought that I was better off
    I was wrong
    I am where I don't belong
    In a flash, I am gone
    to return when the sun shines again

    Oh my God
    Words that seem so out of place
    I wish you'd get out of my face
    Well, I'll find something someday

    I thought that I was better off
    I was wrong
    I am where I don't belong
    In a flash, I am gone
    to return when the sun shines again

    I thought that I was better off
    I was wrong
    I am where I don't belong
    In a flash, I am gone
    to return when the sun shines again

    to return when the sun shines again

  • So I Fall Again

    I can't say if this feeling coming over me is real
    but I know its something you can't steal
    So I'll buy another problem to approach
    sell a virgin lie that can't be touched

    So I fall again
    So I fall again
    So I break through this rotten piece of wood again

    I can't say if this here f*cking subject should be dropped
    but I know its something you can't stop
    So I'll buy another pickup line and sigh
    and pretend that everything is alright

    So I fall again
    So I fall again
    So I break through this rotten piece of wood again

    So I break through this rotten piece of wood
    So I break through this rotten piece of wood
    So I break through this rotten piece of wood again

    So I fall again
    So I fall again
    So I break through this rotten piece of wood again

  • Recently Distressed

    I am sorry to inform you
    that I lost your kid's address

  • Can't Take It

    Something strange,
    Somehow i get the feeling
    I'm where everyone knows your name
    It's not much different but
    it's surely not the same
    You'll find peace in knowing now
    I'm so sick and tired of hearing myself
    Believe me, I never guessed
    you had one up your sleeve
    Well, there I go

    So smile, you've done your part
    but I'm waiting for someone to say
    I can't take it anymore, Yeah
    Can't take it anymore, Yeah
    What's so wrong with being sad?

    Left alone, I was stuck to go over
    all the things that I've done wrong
    Sure, I was stuck in a hole
    but now we've got a song
    After all the love is gone
    where did you get off saying
    it's not so lame?
    We've had it different
    and I know we're not the same
    Well, there I go

    So smile, you've done your part,
    but I'm waiting for someone to say
    I can't take it anymore, Yeah
    Can't take it anymore, Yeah
    What's so wrong with being sad?

    So smile, you've done your part
    but I'm waiting for someone to say
    I can't take it anymore, Yeah
    Can't take it anymore, Yeah
    What's so wrong with being sad?

    Can't take it anymore, anymore
    What's so wrong with being sad? Yeah

  • The Local Black And Red

    Sitting in your room
    drinking your perfume
    wondering which day of the week
    I'll die on now
    I'm lying in your bed
    unscrewing your head
    trying to figure out what's wrong
    inside, so you don't hate yourself tonight, Yeah

    So now you fall asleep
    inside a tambourine
    next to broken headphones and your
    high school yearbook
    I wrote on the final page
    wish I could've stayed around
    to watch the last band play
    Hey, hey, hey, I heard
    they just broke up yesterday

    Frequenting the Local Black and Red
    and how that band played
    you really had to stare
    You'd hardly be aware that you were blinking
    You'd hardly be aware that you were blinking, Yeah

    Frequenting the Local Black and Red
    and how that band played
    you really had to stare
    You'd hardly be aware that you were blinking
    You'd hardly be aware that you were blinking, Yeah, Yeah

  • Don't Get Down

    I want to live on the moon
    and never see a human again
    And as the Earth explodes
    I'll light a candle for my dead best friends

    I don't enjoy this place
    My best friends are so mean
    I look up to the sky when I am sad
    because the planets don't get down on me
    I just want to fall asleep

    I want to live on the moon
    and never see a human again
    And as the Earth explodes
    I'll light that candle for my dead best friends

    I look up to the sky when I am sad,
    because the planets don't get down on me

    I just want to fall asleep and dream
    of a place that's warm
    I just want to fall asleep and dream
    of a place that's warm, Oh yeah

    I look up to the sky when I am sad,
    because the planets don't get down on me

  • Dying Of Silence

    So as I stand here dying of silence tonight
    the quiet spell you slung at the ceiling fan
    will return again

    Why?
    I ask myself sometimes
    Dine on small talk after school
    Why?
    I ask myself sometimes

    So as the mood gets darker and darker tonight
    I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable, alright?
    It will return again

    Why?
    I ask myself sometimes
    Dine on small talk after school
    Why Why? Why Why?

    Why? Why?
    I ask myself sometimes.
    Why? Why?

    Why? Why?
    I ask myself sometimes.
    Why? Why?
    Why? Why?

  • Down In A Second

    Can I find a place of solace to unscale?
    Should I take a social climb? Should I fail?
    Have we gathered here to buzz or just to roach?
    Have I bought another problem to approach?

    If you want to leave me
    If you want to just throw me away
    I'll be down in a second
    I'll be down in a second

    How come now it seems that you no longer care?
    How can I live a life that seems no longer fair?
    Have we noticed yet that this is not a game?
    Have I bought a fast way to a claim to fame?

    If you want to leave me
    If you want to just throw me away
    I'll be down in a second
    I'll be down in a second

    If you want to leave me
    If you want to just throw me away
    I'll be down in a second
    I'll be down in a second

    If you want to leave me
    If you want to just throw me away
    I'll be down in a second
    I'll be down in a second

  • Lisa (Does It Hurt You?)

    behind the bleachers,
    I'll tell you a secret
    of locker room dreams
    Lunchbox angels
    will you tell me your story?
    Will you go with me?

    Does it hurt you? Does it pain you
    to say the words that mean so much to me?
    Does it hurt you? Does it pain you?
    Or did you lock it up to hide away?

    We are the laziest people
    there could be
    for we only wrote one verse
    But I asked Jacques what I
    should put in place of this
    He said just leave it

    Oh and one more thing...

    Does it hurt you? Does it pain you
    to say the words that mean so much to me?
    Does it hurt you? Does it pain you?
    Or did you lock it up to hide away, far away?

    Does it hurt you? Does it pain you
    to say the words that mean so much to me?
    Does it hurt you? Does it pain you?
    Or did you lock it up to hide away?

  • Rest Easy

    It's all clear, no need for you to fear
    nothing's under the bed tonight
    It's all right, no need for you to fright
    nothing's after you tonight

    If I pretend that I'm asleep, if I pretend that I'm asleep
    will that prevent from making me their next meal?

    It's all right, no need for you to fright
    you've only lost your sense of sight
    Rest your head and dream yourself to bed
    or else I won't sleep well tonight

    If I pretend that I'm asleep, if I pretend that I'm asleep
    will that prevent from making me their next meal?

    If I hold out until the light of day, if I hold out
    will they disintegrate away? Far away

  • Sleep Machine

    Some things meltaway
    as night dissolves to day
    Some things only stay
    Silent darkness slowly kills me

    I turn to you
    and stir your blank expression.
    You're the one for me
    Help me get to sleep, Nighty night, goodnight
    Something isn't right
    Seems that every night, I need you

    More and more
    you take me away
    More and more
    I need you to stay
    More and more
    distract me from the instant loss of light
    More and more
    I need you tonight

    Come, let's go for a while
    and pretend you're mine for a while
    Come, let's go, Yeah, yeah

    More and more
    You take me away
    More and more
    I need you to stay
    More and more
    distract me from the instant loss of light
    More and more
    I need you

    Goodnight....

  • Is This Really Happening?

  • All Over Again


    Car crash
    It's waiting to happen
    And you
    You're tracking me down
    All over again
    I give in
    (oooohhhhh)
    I give up

    You splash but you started sinking
    And you
    You're tracking me down
    All over again
    I give in
    (oooohhhhh)
    I give up

    You are crowding me in
    I wanna get out
    Well this is the end
    All over again
    Your crowding me in
    I just wanna get out
    Well this is the end
    All over again

    oooohhhhh
    I give up
    You are crowding me in
    I just wanna get out
    But this is the end
    All over again
    Your pushing me out
    I wanna get down
    This is the end
    All over again
    Your pushing me up
    I wanna get down
    All over again

  • Devon's Rejection

    Yesterday within the crowded room
    He was the king of fools
    Everyone loved him just the same
    Nothing mattered but the game

    Chorus:
    Look into the face of a demon
    That changes from day to day
    Nothing is as pure as good
    Except her will to stay

    Yesterday within the smoke filled room
    He meant nothing to you
    Nobody cared to say his name
    Everything mattered but the game

    Chorus

  • In Our Darkest Hour

    Oh, well it starts off the day
    In a cloud if I was a saint
    I would shout
    I've got so much shining left before I'm out
    But my room is aflame
    Now I can't remember anything but my name
    I'm so confused I don't think I know what to do all the same

    Well, we have got to get out of here
    In our darkest hour
    When we may not make it

    I can't see a thing
    Through the smoke
    One mouthfull of air
    So as not to choke
    I almost say I wanna because I'm thinking about you
    I run through the hall, down the stairs
    And I try to scream, but nobody cares
    I think this is up
    I just want...all the same
    I always say one thing

    Well, we have got to get out of here
    In our darkest hour
    When we may not make it
    And we may not make it

  • Lazy Days

    Sitting around is very splendid for you
    Cos you look happy like the girlfriends do
    All you'd ever need was a girl
    Yeah, it's great to have someone
    To have someone to relate to
    Girl, just might die for you
    Yeah, it ain't bad
    To keep your eyes on her
    And no one else
    Her and no one else

  • Losing My Mind

    Yesterday, when I woke up
    I found myself in disrepair
    I went to find myself was there
    I ran out
    I rub my eyes
    And I don't know
    My right from left
    My high from low
    And in the....
    And I end up losimg my mind
    Yeah, I end up losing my mind

    So I go out to think
    And I walked out a little sad
    But soon enough I won't feel bad
    I can feel it
    When I have time to sit and stare
    When my skull is strained and my brain is dead
    I'm losing. . .

    And I end up losing my mind
    Yeah, I end up losing my mind. . .

  • One Ray Of Sunlight

    Goodness
    Sometimes things get bad
    But I swear
    I'm doing all I can
    So, try all you want to
    I'm going to try too

    Chrous:
    If I get one ray of sunlight to hold in my hands
    Maybe we can be happy again
    I'll try for one ray of sunlight to hold in my hands
    Maybe we can be happy again

    Things don't go as I planned
    But I swear
    I'm doing all I can
    So, try all you want to
    I'm going to try too

    Chorus

  • See You Next Summer

    And if you turn your back
    And we don't talk about it
    Is there anything you'd like to say?
    Cos this is the last time
    I'm gonna wait
    This is the last time
    iIll whistle away
    Cos if you don't know
    I'll see you next summer
    So, say goodbye to June

    I bet you tell them how
    Last summer spent with me
    It doesn't matter to anyone at all
    Let's not go looking back
    So we don't talk like that
    With the feeling that
    We're marching off to war
    This is the last time
    I'm gonna wait
    This is the last time I'll whistle away
    If you don't know
    I'll see you next summer
    So, say goodbye to June

    Say goodbye to June

  • Shadows

    Hell, haven't you thought you were coming
    Madness left to discover
    It's so bad
    Cos we're all gone way from home

    Chorus:
    When the lights go out
    Our shadows sing in silence

    Don't don't close your eyes for an instant
    When it's all gone you might miss it
    Goes so fast
    It'll all be over soon

    Chorus

  • You And I VS The Sun

    Well, we're sucked in a spot in the sky and it's got my attention
    But it's something so small that it's almost an exciting adventure
    Still I know that you said you and I should beware
    And if it's under the light, then alright
    If I know that it's there you and I should beware
    And if it's up in our eyes then alright
    I know if you're scared
    Dark in our eyes

    Baby, this golden light, put an end to the night
    So, it's you and I versus the sun
    Baby, this golden light, put an end to the light
    So, it's you and I versus the sun

    By the thought that has shaped and it's plan to escape
    Still i know it was there
    You and I should beware
    If it's dark in our eyes, then alright

    Yeah, it's you and I versus the sun....
    Said, it's you and I versus the sun......

    Anthem

    I woke up today and a song was swimming in my head
    and I hummed it to myself as I got out of bed
    and on the way to take a shower it all just dawned on me
    that a song like this just might go down in history
    I quickly ran back to get my guitar, a pen and some paper

    Cuz this whole world needs an anthem
    and I'm tryin' to put the words where they belong
    yeah this whole world needs an anthem and I'm
    hoping everyone will sing along

    Well I quickly got to work and put the song in gear
    and my neighbor rang the doorbell and said it caught his ear
    I was playing it so loud the whole neighborhood could hear
    and at night from every household it became quite clear
    everyone was singing along
    the same notes the same song
    and I knew my work was done

    Cuz this whole world needs an anthem
    and I'm tryin' to put the words where they belong
    yeah, this whole world needs an anthem and I'm hoping everyone will sing along (will sing along)

    Everyone was singing along
    the same notes the same song
    and I knew my work was done
    Cuz this whole world needs an anthem
    and I'm tryin' to put the words where they belong (where they belong)
    yeah this whole world needs an anthem (needs an anthem) and I'm hoping everyone will sing along (will sing along)

    Well this whole world (whole world) needs an anthem (needs an anthem)
    and I'm trying to put the words where they belong
    yeah this whole world needs an anthem (needs an anthem)
    and I'm hoping everyone will sing along (will sing along)
