Wrong

Hangin' around with you
I get a funny feeling
I don't know just what I'm doing wrong
Spending some time with you
Wondering which way this will go
When every way we turn feels wrong
For some reason it's all feeling wrong
You took flight
And you took me
Through all these typical and clichéd things
About which I'd rather not sing
I don't know what I've been doing wrong

Welcome to the World

Welcome to the world kid!
Well this is big business!
And we play for keeps!
And soon, we'll know you better than you know yourself!
What's that? You've got some talent?
Well, we're doubting you'll realize it.
Look, I didn't sign up for this
I want my name taken off the list
Fuck these trickle down narratives
(I don't want to see or sign that shit)
Well sure you feel that way now
But you're a special little boy!
And we've got big plans for you!
Yeah, we've got it all worked out
We're gonna lay it all out in front of you
So come along!
Look, I didn't sign up for this
I want my name taken of the list
Fuck these crony capitalists
I want my name taken off the list
(I don't want to see or sign that shit)
Welcome to the world kid!
Like I said, this is big business!
And we own all this shit, just look around!
So, what do you say?
Bottoms up?
A quick hit to the veins?
Yeah that's right, suuuck it down!
And besides, you weren't going anywhere anyway
It's like I told you, we run this town.
Look I didn't sign up for this
I want my name taken off the list
Fuck your digital pyramids
I want my name taken off the list
(I don't want to see or sign that shit)

Tell me the one you'd fight the most for
Tell me the one that you would cry for if it matters anymore
Tell me the one you cried the most for
Tell me the one that you might die for if it matters anymore
If it matters anymore
It doesn't matter anymore
Tell me just who you feel that spite for
Tell me just who you'd fight and die for if it matters anymore
Tell me the one you still can't cry for
Tell me the one you couldn't lie for if it matters anymore
Why does it matter anymore?

Countdown to Death
03:20
|
|
||
|
The countdown to death begins with the first breath taken
accelerates when dreams are forsaken
The countdown to death
It starts with a thought
Proceeds with the actions taken
Slowly betraying self-realization
It should not surprise
To find out the things they're saying
result from the games they're playing
You can be them if you want
You can be them it's not complicated
The decision will be celebrated
(Put a little weight on and pass it along)
(Put a little debt on and pass it along)

Trivial
04:08
|
|

Trust
You couldn't if you saw me blindly holding Love's Flame for you
The problem is
You see me sideways and if you could change, would you?
But I rush to you when you call
Even if it seems trivial
I just can't help myself
Lust
I couldn't shake it
I couldn't, though I tried to push through - fighting my nature for you
I wanted you
I wanted you to know I'm always hopelessly fighting for you
And I try to brace for the fall
Even if it seems trivial

Walk with Me a While
04:11
|
|
||
|
C'mon and walk with me a while
I want to see the sun hit your face
I want to see you smile
cause I'm alone in this town
but I was alone in the one that I left behind
well sure I've found some peace in this town
but you know the ocean and the parks can only do so much
they can't touch
they don't have your face
they don't move with your grace
say the things that you say
at the moments you do
So I'm going to see you tonight
I'll run, jump, walk, kick, scream,bus, train, I'm gonna put up a fight
well sure we'll probably leave each other in the end
but what do we care, it's babies and bullshit, and either way we're dead
well I don't have any lyrics for this part
in fact the whole second verse is kind of up in the air
but I don't care
this is all I've got
a few beers and some pot
and a busted 4-track
and my useless laptop

Creosote Heart
05:35
|
|
||
|
After decades under thumb your dogma's iron-bound
And change unlikely to find you
But your creosote heart, so lovingly preserved,
Still, somehow, spurs you onward
You were unlucky to have begun this trek too far from it
And now must overcome doubts
As you back away, still unaware of your purpose
You're reaching for whatever finds you
You lost count of the days you've passed time feigning interest
In a world that's just not made for you
And your creosote, so living preserved,
Still, somehow, spurs you forward
You're old enough now to know just what you want and where you're going
And figure it out on your own
But the harshness of the world might be vast and ever-growing
Still, something must move you onward

I never said I couldn't be wrong
We only get one chance to try
And even then, the window is small
So, don't you think you could be wrong?
No one knows the rules to the game
Evolution's throwing darts at the wall
Don't you think you could be wrong?
Nero plays a sweet, sweet song

Unbelievers
01:50
|
|
||
|
And when they crawled out of the sea
They were too young not to believe
Leaving certainty in the murky deep
And now they call them unbelievers
A generation nobody would grieve for
No paradigm or destiny to reach for

Until We Meet Again
02:41
|
|
||
|
Until we meet again I'll assume we are not friends
A cycle that begins will surely have an end
And you'll keep asking why this happens all the time
Until you realize delusional is your crime
No sense in asking why it's plaguing you and I
Don't even wanna try to help you live a lie
Until we meet again I'll assume we are not friends
Just as it began, eventually it ends
And if you ask me why it's happening again
It's between you and I, so don't include your friends
Your "leverage" is a lie, something you can't defend
It comes apart in time and then the story ends
There is no reason why you can't just call it quits
Other than in your mind, other than being sick

I Don't Wanna Wait
03:43
|
|
||
|
I don't wanna wait for you to love me
and I don't wanna wait for me to leave you
it's a little late for new mornings
and it's a little late for good-byes
It's gone on too long for this to be easy to leave
let's call a truce before it gets too late for us to leave as friends, darlin'
I don't wanna wait for you to feel me
and I don't wanna wait for me to need you
it's getting late girl, we must be lonely
Is this love, girl? Or are we boring?

Return
02:28
|
|
||
|
I started thinking about the lengths we go
To avoid doing anything at all...
And I came to no conclusion, but it's just okay
Cause you're just an open wound that's gonna heal someday
I can't shake it off, ignore it or wish it away
I'm just left to make a choice of what I do today
If all my efforts were worth nothing at all
Would you be giggling at me when I fall?
Or would you see that it don't have to be so strained?
We can offer one another more than spiteful blame
It's a twist of indecision that keeps us constrained
In the stagnant opposition in which we remain
Stop complaining things aren't the way they were
While you're wading around that bridge you burned
I will not wait for your return
