The Ten Year Hangover

Crossroads 04:09
It seems we’ve come to a crossroads, Walking on the tips of our toes down darkened hallways, Doorways outlined by the morning light. Outlook hopeful, optimistic. Ten steps then I’ll get some rest. Though wicked I require lots of sleeps. Crossroads Come on dear, why are you frowning? I’ve been here this whole time drowning, You’ve been off having a good time. And on a similar note, I hope that you choke, On all the bullshit that you’ve tried to feed a pathetic sap like me. It seems we have no conviction, lying through the whites of our teeth, Underlying, always lying, even if its not about a thing. One more word could set this off, one more objection and we’re done. One more word out of your mouth and I swear to god. I remember sunny days that never seemed to end, and I loved it. We threw caution to the wind, and let the sunshine kiss our skin. And in the back of my mind, I knew it wouldn’t last, but I tried. Those are memories, nothing more, just single frames in time

Accept the loss The time it takes for you to make your move, your loss I will flip the bill, and fuck the cost It’s weird, you say, for me to take whats offered, un-take? I won’t ask for help accept the loss. Can’t fall asleep without the t.v. on my friend? I will tell you bedtime stories, where everything works out in the end. I will rub your back, I will wash your feet! I will not smile at you for fear you’ll see the grime between my teeth. Unkempt, un-made, not polished, not glazed. Unloved? So what! I will flip the bill and fuck the cost. Lastly, un-true, so what? Supposed to! Won’t make, can’t stay? I won’t ask for help accept the loss.

Guilty As I am I faintly remember white satin sheets. Photos of your friends adorned your ceiling. I know I spent hours starring at your face, But I can’t remember, can’t remember your name. I remember a long and interesting talk. You said you needed fresh air, so we went for a walk. I know I spent hours standing by your side, But I can’t remember the color of your eyes. We talked about leaving, Drop the fucking world and do as we please. We talked about a future, That we’d never have, not one regret guilty as I am. Yesterday was bound to leave. I don’t remember falling asleep, But I do remember an early morning, You said I had to go and couldn’t stay, But I can’t remember a feature on your face. I remember a long and awkward hug, I remember counting the fibers, on the patterns on your rug. I’m not sure but I think you had auburn hair, Oh well, the devils in the details, And I really don’t care. Of course I wonder if you think about me, but I don’t lose sleep. Still, I long for an answer I’ll never receive. I hope you think about me, but don’t lose sleep, don’t forget me. As time goes so will your memory, you won’t lose me.

Dressed Up 04:31
Dressed Up Dressed up working for shots at the bar, cloves, black fingernails. Modern woman, so proud, so strong! Lose your top if all else fails. Sight’s set on your prey, rings on their fingers, feeling that seven year itch. Oh yeah, you’re so hot, top of your game, but time is a fickle bitch. At home alone now starring yourself into your own green eyes. Repeating everyone sees beauty in these, so why, why can’t I? I wish you were a more stable girl, but you’ll never wear that dress. I wish that things could be different, but that’s just a fools request. And he’s not listening too busy admiring your chest, and I listened to every word and your just a self-hating mess. Burning bridges comes naturally, just like hiding yourself from friends. Calling bullshit on all others, but the same bullshit just keeps happening. And we share this problem its tough moving on and letting go, You’ve got to apologize, make amends, and work hard looking strait to tomorrow.

Marco Polo 03:43
Marco Polo In her disillusioned eyes I see no recollection of a time When she was happy with him Why argue about the same old things Until there’s nowhere left in your lungs It’s not worth this, Nothing’s worth these Lies and contradictions Are staring from the mirrors reflection Hey what do you say I was wondering How time passes by so fast Hey what do you say I was wondering I don’t think opposites attract Well I was waiting but it kept raining That time will drive you crazy And in the back room you can find me Burning up my memories And as she sits and throws the bottle harder back than a carpool throttle I don’t see a glimmer of hope And as I move the mirror back

That Fat Motherfucker I'll drink until my stomach bleeds and I'll smoke until I can't sing but you know its the funniest thing cause I have brothers and sisters that would die for me and I'm not just anybody I'm drunk but I see what you're doing to me and yeah I drank too much whiskey I'm drunk but I see what you doing to me and I'll play until my fingers bleed but there's just one thing that will always haunt me I could have the strength of ten thousand men and I'd still do the same stupid shit again She'll never know, she'll leave it at that and that fat motherfucker had a heart attack they say he loved her but leave it at that and that fat motherfucker more so loved crack we're all lost we are all forsaken we're all misguided and mistaken and still we walk these streets praying for anyone or any god to save us we're all lame inbred and blind we've all taken part in the decline and this won't be the first or the last time we shoot across the line the beauty of American life is we sleep through until we die, and we all do so have a good time and shoot across the line

The Academy 04:00
Academy It haunts my dreams, it gives me gasoline breath Its dangerous to smoke cigarettes, been hopeless since the day I was born So what’s today and what’s this place we stay, so far back in the race We can’t catch up, and I don’t think we ever will now And I won’t let the situation bring me down Cause if its right then that’s all I can ask for And its below me not my worry, gonna let it drown Cause if its right then that’s all I could ask for, and no more I think I know what our problem is, we move too slow and its dangerous Not to take, steal chances, breathe life into me Just let the sun shine on my face, wind at my back always Just let me taste such happiness So I can prove to myself that its real Got a problem, want a problem, want to take on the world Want to be part of the academy Want to be someone, but don’t know who to be Want to be part of the academy, want to be someone not knowing who to be

Attitude Adjuster how can you only think with your dick? because honestly it’s not that fucking big and I'm not speaking from experience but I’m not the one wearing my sisters pants and honestly I admire your confidence even though we're all laughing at your expense and I think you could, be a cool guy if you lose the act, and stop drinking Now I see exactly what you wanted and don't blame me, some people never learn and make believe is only this and nothing and don't blame me, cause I'm just being honest cause I'm just being honest, at least someone is and I heard you slept outside in the rain again writing poetry just for the attention and she’s giving it up, and your giving in again and I don’t really think that she really gets it Now I see exactly what you wanted and don't blame me, some people never learn and make believe is only this and nothing and don't blame me, cause I'm just being honest cause I'm just being honest, at least someone is

I’m Just Not That Patient Well if we both fail it’s because I’m already dead It’s been the same for many years before This situation has been completely out of hand And I don’t expect you to understand You’re sharpening your skills so well I can’t believe no one can tell I used to see the better things But now it’s gotten bad You see nothing that’s in front of you Can’t figure just what to do Your cluelessness has molded you And it’s making me so mad So now I’m taking it all back. To a place you’ve never seen before Because I can’t ignore the facts And I won’t be coming back And you won’t understand The way I live my life or how I spend my time Because I’m sticking to the plan Sitting here with thoughts filled in my hand I’ve never seen someone who can look so damn dumb What were you saying again You don’t know yourself as much as you know everyone else So do you think that could be how you got left out Well never mind, you take it from behind Something that everyone else has figured out So now I’m taking it all back. To a place you’ve never seen before Because I can’t ignore the facts And I won’t be coming back And you won’t understand The way I live my life or how I spend my time Because I’m sticking to the plan Sitting here with thoughts filled in my hand I’ve never seen someone who can look so damn dumb What were you saying again

The Moment You Left They say I never speak Well maybe I don't But I have my reasons And I change with the seasons And I don't know what I want But I wanted her And she wanted me But I'm insecure Keep it all in Try hard to keep it in Keep it all in Try hard The moment you left I couldn't not find The X on my chest That I left behind And walking so soft Not to be heard My heart is a disease Obscene and obscure And I wished that I'd explained Exactly how I felt But I bottled it up And drank what was left And now that she's gone Can I have her back? And now that she's gone I miss her so Keep it all in Try hard to keep it in Keep it all in Try hard The moment you left I could not find The X on my chest That I left behind And walking so soft Not to be heard My heart is a disease Obscene and obscure The moment you left I could not find The X on my chest That I left behind And walking so soft Not to be heard Your heart is a disease That cannot be cured
