Irrelevant (Doesn't Fucking Matter) Was it something I said Or something I did But when all’s said and done I’m a fucking dumb kid I was drunk at the time Or at least halfway there And I swear I did not mean To leave you right there (puke in your hair) And I hope you don’t mind Cuz I’m losing my mind And it doesn’t fucking matter in the end So no more I love yous Just knives in the back That hold onto the times when Emotions would lack Now I’m too gone to care Drowning in my own piss That’s cascading across Everything I won’t miss Remember when we said we’d make this last? Well maybe someday I’ll forget the past And one fine day You’ll fucking die And I hope you don’t mind I’m still losing my mind And it doesn’t fucking matter in the end |
Drinking Binge When we were young You used to laugh at all my jokes I miss those days Carefree, no worries, before anyone ever knew They’d tear us down Ripping open my ribcage And shredding my dreams like rag dolls It’s you and me Taking blow after blow As our insides turn to dust There’s no escape And no shield to soften the pain Taking it in On a drinking binge Perfect trip for a couple of liars My prescription Doctor, fill me in And fill me up with Every sour drop When we were young You used to tell me I was cool We never knew Just how much we’d grow into regular working adults They’d tear us down Ripping open my ribcage And shredding my dreams like rag dolls It’s you and me Taking blow after blow As our insides turn to dust |

Long Hard Road So here I go on my own Second chances left in stone Trigger finger on a loaded dream Every fear, every fear Keep it bottled up and near The wine glass I’ve filled with gasoline So drink it down (keep it down) And I’ll meet you underground So many years So many beers So many times I’ve wanted to walk through that door But you’re so far away Guess I’m here to stay Cuz it’s a long hard road out of Anytown, NJ Split decisions just in time Empty clichés every line Fuck for every reason And never mind the rhyme Didn’t I, didn’t I Ever tell you that I lied Guess I’m sorry may be coming too late |
Uppers and Downers Chorus: Congratulations Here’s your prize: “Best Dressed in Death” As you die Cheap plastic smiles Now fading fast You’re in too deep Can’t help but laugh Throw in the towel Game’s over Can’t tell who won The sides are crossed Call it a draw Going nowhere fast Promises that I’ve set in stone Broke apart in my lies Tell me now what I should say But you’ve gone away…(*away, away) Lend me your ear Here’s a tale Two lives once crossed A tragic ending You’d expect Guess you’d be wrong Welcome to my sacrifice Welcome to my life Taken for granted too Much as I would, I can’t |

Getting Over You It’s a summer’s night And I see her taking flight In a red corvette with her new boyfriend The day rushes in Thinking “Why can’t I be him?” Just another guy, she’s too good for him Whoa…. And I just can’t say goodbye Times may change But the fact remains That you and I just can’t get along But I love her And she loves him Guess I’m wasting my time still Getting Over You Waking up With a lump stuck in my throat It was a damn mistake to fall in love To be young at heart Seems to go right hand in hand With ignorance, I’m a fucking idiot Whoa… Cuz I’m living in a lie A loser, a whiner Who’s labeled the wiser? Good, better, best Who’s heart ends up broken? Your own, your own. |
The Untimely Fall of Maria Black Maria Black lost it all yesterday She packed her briefcase for her day of work Left her house with nothing but a memory She said goodbye to emptiness for good See Maria had a time for life To enjoy the things that seem so stupid To everyday people like ourselves But Maria couldn’t take the pressure Got laid off two weeks ago For not remembering to lock the office A mother of two All that she’s been through Couldn’t tell just what was wrong or right (How was she to know that life would be so hard?)* (And how, How was she to make it last?) * Maria Black lost her mind yesterday She strolled into the office around ten The papers on the doorstep of a flaming house Declared that there would be no chance of rain See Maria was a single mom Abusive husband left last April The judge declared he got the kids and dog But Maria had a plan for him The cubicle right next to hers Housed the deadbeat dad beforehand mentioned The papers called it a tragedy Maria Black was being tried for murder Two men found dead in an office room Five shots in each from a .38 magnum See Maria didn’t show remorse After the shots she stabbed them both In various organs throughout the body But Maria wasn’t finished then Ex-husband was missing limbs She destroyed the hands that used to strike her Maria Black lost it all yesterday, but she didn’t really have much anyway… |

Train Wreck When all is said and done This bottle’s almost gone Did I remember to forget? I’m all apologies Hopeless, I’m on my knees Porcellain gates open for regret I’m still waiting Contemplating Sing this song, no tomorrow in my mind Like a freight train Through my empty brain I can’t complain Raise your glass and we’ll toast to you Pass every liquor store Dried out and getting bored Passing out seems like the next big step Can’t stop a sucker punch There’s one in every bunch Did I get to tell you every lie? |
Numbskull Chewed off your tongue on each word Foot in your mouth, it’s not your turn to speak So give another try Give another try And spit it out with your blood Have ten more beers to shut you up I’ve heard it all a million times So give it up Why don’t you give it up? Your audience couldn’t care less It feels alright But all along Everything you know’s so wrong It feels so right But after all You’ve been gone for so damn long 24 hours too much All you can say is I’m a fucking lush Until you give me more Just give me one damn more And I’ll go pass out on your floor So sorry I wasn’t there But when did you really start to care? Just give me up Just fucking give me up I won’t be your whore anymore It’s over now Have no regrets My middle finger’s what you get So say goodbye It sure was fun But you were never number one |

Posterboy (Whoa) Goddamn you I find it hard to say But the words just fall like broken glass Overwhelm me Push me underground Six feet deep beneath a bed of grass Hero of the day Nothing for the rest Consolation prize When you’ve done your best Posterboy, we’re not impressed No more fortune No more autographs No more fossils of a million laughs Underestimate Oversimplify But you never seem to make it by Hey hey, wontcha tell me something Wontcha tell me somehow Tell me what I can do? Hey hey, I’m all out of love now I’m all out of time now Jaded and turning blue Hey hey, it’s over |
