Tracks and lyrics
Always Right2:36Lyrics
I couldn't make it on the highway I couldn't make it alone You'll never see me on that ride well I'll never make it out of here And if you see me getting closer You better put it on a sign No matter where you lead I'll follow You know you've got me in a state But I can tell you're out of time Coming closer but also always in the way I'm getting ready to find out the questions to the answers I've always saved Why don't I like what I find? I'm always right I couldn't make it on the highway I'll never make it on my own You'll never catch me on that ride, well I'll never make it out of here I'll never make it out of here I'm getting older and I'm constantly wide-awake It's getting harder to fight for attention and the light that I've always craved But I don't wanna deny it's coming closer but also always in the way I'm getting ready to find out the questions to the answers I've always saved Why am I losing my mind? I'm always rightHigh2:50Lyrics
You could take me higher But I won't come back You could quench my fire Then I'd feel laid back You derailed my train right off the fucking track 'cause you make me high You could make me feel like I'm in serious trouble with my uncle But I'm curious Would you be my rider if I drove the bus? Would you make me high? If the sane don't worry 'bout it Then I say don't worry 'bout it What they say don't work it but it always seems to make me high Make me high If the sane don't worry 'bout it Then I say don't you worry 'bout it What they say don't work it but it always seems to make me high Make me highShe Was Gone4:05Lyrics
I was at home but I wasn't feeling welcome I had the feeling that I could not get it done Instead of always wanna be around I'm waiting patiently to get right out I was at home but I wasn't feeling welcome You might have wasted all your time While you waited there alone You never realized what went wrong You never noticed she was gone I took her on despite all my inhibitions I couldn't think a reason why it shouldn't have turned out right And now I'm listening to a dying howl I'm hanging pictures on a cracking wall I was at home and I wasn't feeling welcome You said you couldn't wait around You know you wouldn't wait around You said you couldn't wait around You might have wasted all your time While you waited there alone You never realized what went wrong You never noticed she was gone She'll pick you up to drag you down You'll feel the weight upon your heart Another winter in the end You're only home when you're apart She's gone foreverVery Hungry4:42Lyrics
I never knew what you did before But I know if I had I'd be on my own And I know I know you're really grown You look for blood when there's only stone But you break your rules When you're all alone And I know Some things can not be known I saved my own life You just called me a liar I can't make up my mind When you try I wanna save my life I'm gonna quit my job I wanna play in the night Wanna run from the law I saved my own life You just called me a liar I can't make up my mind When you try You sat I'll raise your cover You rise I'll lay you flat I'd never tie another A soul for the weight of that A soul for the weight of Each day I hate you more than you know And I hope you reap what your ass has sown Yeah I hope you get what you give out soon You're a guiltless freak and a wounded soul And I know You put a hole in bone I saved my own life You just called me a liar I can't make up my mind When you try I saved my own life You just called me a liar I can make up my mind When you try When you try When you try When you try You sat I'll raise your cover You rise I'll lay you flat I'd never tie another A soul for the weight of that A soul for the weight of I know you're very hungry I know you're getting fat Don't watch me cry my brother A fool but a way-out catBehind My Fears2:01Lyrics
Under any other circumstances I'd fumble with the lock Tonight I'm gonna make advances I'm walking up my block And it's not very nice to do what I'm doing I'm sick of looking around where I'm going I'm getting sick and tired of sitting here and I can't comprehend the reasons behind my fears I know I'm gonna wake up someday But I'd rather not Tonight's been going on forever I am close with what I've got And I can't be discouraged I know what I'm doing Nobody stops me when I get going You better listen when I say to you that it's out of my hands and it's all that I can do I know it's wrong to say Wrong to say But I do I always do I know it's wrong to say Wrong to say But I do I always doTell Me3:28Lyrics
Tell me Why did you change my life? You turn me out I can't even think I need to know Why did you lie? Why do I try? Tell me Why did you change your mind? You sold me out You can blame me I lost my mind I don't know why I don't ask why You never told me you wanted You never told me you cared I never thought you would notice me Now you've noticed me and I don't care Tell me Why did you turn me out? You turn me on I can be anything What do you want? I'll debase myself Disgrace myself You never told me you wanted You never told me you cared I never thought you would notice me Now you've noticed me and I don't careWait 'til You Come Back2:17Lyrics
I can see the waiting on the wall Ornamental petals in the wind Wrap me up a view from the outside Let me know when you'll be back again Are you gone or are you in my life? I can never tell when I am in Wake me if you rematerialize When I cry I always feel foreign 'cause I can't wait 'till you come back Wait 'till you come back now Wait 'till you come back Wait 'till you come back now I call myself from over the sea I know I can admit to nothing I've learned how to waste an amazing time 'cause I can't wait 'till you come back Wait 'till you come back now Wait 'till you come back Wait 'till you come back now I'm gonna wait 'till you come back Wait 'till you come back now Wait 'till you come back Wait 'till you come back YeahI Feel2:59Lyrics
You don't know what you're doing about it You don't know what you're doing about her face You're gonna lose this race You better get out the way You don't know what you're doing about it You don't know what you're doing about her eyes Waiting with no surprise Watching you every day You belong to me I can't find you will ever love And I feel you're replacing me And I know it's wrong I feel like throwing up again And I feel you're replacing me God I hope I'm wrong And I feel I can't wait I can't stand another day I don't care I don't see another way I know why I won't be the one to say You're not real I still love you anyway I'm on time but still late a little bit You're not mine I still taste the same regret If you die I won't take the blame for it I don't mind if you take me to bed and quit I got wise I'm still waiting anyway I'm on fire You can't take my heart away I won't try to set things right You don't know what you're doing around her You don't know what you're saying or what you've said You'll never get ahead With an attitude like thatWhite Hands2:22Lyrics
You know that I'm a sucker for it Can't love Don't wanna be without it I'll go on for as long as it takes Don't wanna feel like we didn't make a play together I'm not ready to live forever I've got to cross another river My God I've left you unentertained I'm on a roll and I ain't never gonna take a breather White hands pull you from your chair You won't say another word Don't go I'm on an elevator Who knows which floor I'll be on later? I'll go on for as long as it takes Don't wanna feel like you and me don't make a play together White hands pull you from your chair I won't miss you when you're not there You're waiting up to be around under the chorus For screaming things under the ground to play the tourist Don't be shy You only wanna run When you die You've only got it Only got it All you have is timeSwimming In The Pond2:55Lyrics
I'm standing frozen on the edge of life I can't abide another half an hour I watch the minutes glide and break apart It's all machine inside a beating heart You really like it when I get the news You'll try to hide inside a black jar I never knew that you could be so cool Two of us laughing in a crashed car No matter what you'll never get away But I can see you're in complete denial Before I touch you make me stay away I'm going swimming in the pond tonight That poor old man could never set a fuse That little girl could never start a fire They listen carefully for any news They stay connected to the right wires I kinda like it when you tell me to I feel the government inside my head I'm gonna go until you pull my noose First let me slip it on around my neck No matter what you'll never get away But I can see you're in complete denial Before I touch you make me stay away I'm going swimming in the pond tonight I'm standing frozen on the edge of life I can't abide another half hour I watch the minutes glide then break apart It's all machine inside your beating heart You really like it when I get the news You try to hide inside in a black jar I never knew your God could be so cruel Two of us drinking in a cash bar No matter what you'll never get away But I can see you're in complete denial Before I cut you make me stay away I'm going swimming in the pond tonight That poor old man could never set a fuse That little girl would never start a fire They listen carefully for any news They stay connected to the right wires We're denied Out of luckNumber Three2:02Lyrics
This here's a song about number three I saw him but he didn't see me No time for bolting to the door No sense in crying anymore All the good birdies on their way There ain't nothin' else around here to see Except maybe devolution of man You gotta take it where you can Hey all around the world I will stay there in your heart Yeah all around the world You will know I thought a lot Yeah all about this place and everyone I ever bought Will it always stay the same if we only sing? Despite all the great nations on my side I ain't ever gonna get drunk like that no more I'm sorry for all the pain that I caused Didn't know that I was breaking any lawsStay With Me3:33Lyrics
I saw you Almost caught you Can't you feel the pain? Beyond the white I found you Almost slipped away Make me real Stay with me How could I not look back on all those years again? When you were six feet under who was still your friend? Make me live Stay with me I will hurry Come and get it Human catastrophe You waited for it Make me live Stay with me I can remember the convulsions He was a good friend I saw you Almost caught you Can't you feel the pain? Beyond the white I found you Almost slipped away Make me live Stay with me I will hurry Come and get it Human catastrophe You waited for it All the way to heaven You're lost to me I'm jaded for it Someone brought up I didn't ask to see and paid them for it all Make me live Stay with me Make me real Stay with meBrand New Problem6:34Lyrics
I'm gonna feel alright I'm gonna dance my hurt away I'm gonna be outstanding I'm gonna be alright I got a brand new problem and it's weighing my mind And it's making me sorry but I don't feel sorry But when I cover my eyes I feel all alive I'm gonna dance all night at a local party Let's go I got a hive full of bees but I feel fine You gonna drag drag me in to town when I'm wired 'cause when I feel fine we all feel fine Come on and dance in the line of fire and be slaughtered I'm gonna feel alright I'm gonna dance my hurt away I'm gonna be outstanding I'm gonna be alright When I woke up this morning I took a hit of what I saw Then I looked in the mirror but no one was home I looked all around but all that I had was gone Gone! I got a brand new problem and I'm out of my mind And it's making me sorry but I don't give a damn 'cause when I cover my eyes I feel all alive I'm gonna sing for my supper and ask for it ma'am I'm gonna sing for my supper and die like a man Let go I'm gonna feel alright I'm gonna dance my hurt away I'm gonna be outstanding I'm gonna give my life away I'm gonna dance Gonna take a better chance Gonna play it with the band 'til the sun stops coming up I'm gonna dance Gonna wave my little hands Never stop yet don't advance but the world keeps turning up I'm gonna feel alright I'm gonna dance my hurt away I'm gonna be outstanding I'm gonna be alright
