I was born a trash heap Of concrete, metal and sin I was born a loser I was never meant to win If you ask me if I'd regret, ask me if I tried Then I say "Oh no" I'd do it again Didn't take no handouts no matter where they were from Lost the pain in my left arm, my whole body's numb And I don't know what to do when it's all about you And I say "Oh no" I'd do it again Although we wander and although we try We all end up at home, by and by Why can't I give up now, throw down the hammer and die? We all end up at home, by and by I was bound to hell since I was seventeen Just a washed up loser in a jacket and jeans Why can't you kill me now? Why can't you set me free? I say "oh no" I'd do it again Although we wander and although we try We all end up at home, by and by Why can't I give up now, throw down the hammer and die? We all end up at home, by and by We all end up at home, my oh my

Not You 05:08
lyrics

The saints of crackpot lie Unbroken bread and Friday nights I've mapped out the road, I've searched my soul But you, you confuse me At first I thought I knew it all The words were all carved in the wall I felt invincible, it was just a principle That I had inside my head What if this is all inside my head? We could be creatures of sweet emotion dragged together by fake devotion To an unborn god wide as an ocean Feel it now, drugged by potion It falls from my lips But not you I won't let you slip I won't let you fall Just to touch your lips Life is like a changing chord Simple, complicated, just ignored We're all a symphony With different melodies and no one No one's the same If I die tomorrow, even today What would be the last word you would say to me? I'm on the death bed as I speak Would you yell or let me die in peace? But not you I won't let you slip I won't let you fall Just to touch your lips

You said you wanted but you didn't need Drunken nights wrapped around my finger And I don't know what I really need Every ounce of silence brings me to Another sip of reverie One by one we stood in line waiting for our time Waiting for our time One by one we stood in line waiting for our time Waiting for our time One by one By wonder you chose me To be the last And you walk with a Childish Air You do as you please and make sure everyone knows it Your torn up clothes hold chapters In a story I'll never read Hours pass, bottles empty I've given up on naming the enemy Soon enough you'll be a memory One by one the line grows infinitely With the word of your touch.

Thief 04:10
lyrics

In my imagination I'm a thief In my dreams I'm alone with you and with you I've got nothing to take Oh give me a break How can you sit all alone and just let me die? It's all a lie the way we deceive ourselves I go and get high Why can't you seem to get along Without my covert mind Why can't you seem to get along Without me you were just fine Without me you were just fine When I feel I've lost what I have stolen When I know I've lost what can't be found Then you go & tell me it ain't missing And I know I can't keep you around Why can't you seem to get along Without my covert mind Why can't you seem to get along Without me you were just fine Without me you were just fine

Useless Ones 03:28
lyrics

I'm so tired of all the tall things in my life I'm ready for them to crumble down in vain I'm ready to stand up Ready to stand up for me I won't let these chains hold me down I'm tired of getting sat on, spat on Looked down upon just because I don't get along at all I don't get along at all Well may I please excuse the class But I'm tired of the parent and the teacher and the preacher And most of all I'm tired of you We're the useless ones Set my feet on fire They're the useful ones Feed my fake desire We're the useless ones Set my feet on fire I don't wanna be here now Come on let's hear the choir (woh oh, woh oh) I'm tired of doing time for all the crime Lord, that I never committed I don't wanna be assisted but my case will be acquitted I said stop, oh stop Why can't you quit while you're ahead? We're the useless ones Set my feet on fire They're the useful ones Feed my fake desire We're the useless ones Set my feet on fire I don't wanna be here now Come on let's hear the choir (woh oh, woh oh)

Jesus Injection 05:39
lyrics

Been a day a month a little time Since I've seen your face Ain't nobody told me It'd be this way I see you walking around the town With your lethal pride And if you think I give a damn You must be right Oh no, I'll be alone tonight Now they can't see why we'd last this long No explanation A sea of rumors fed by jealousy And complication You said you don't kiss and tell But we know that's not right Because to fuel your sickly nervous mind Your character's polite Oh no, I'll be alone tonight Stop looking at my girl, stop creeping around my house Fall in love with Jesus, slop sleeping on my couch I left you alone, I thought it'd do you good But here we are alone again somehow I knew we would Sometimes I think of you the way it was before I'm broken, beaten, worn up, every bit of me is sore I don't want your needle I just wanna feel the pain I don't want your needle Just stop swerving in my lane Been a day a month a little time Since I've seen your face Ain't nobody told me It'd be this way I see you walking around the town With your lethal pride And if you think I give a damn You must be right Oh no, I'll be alone tonight

Here we stand on rock made of glass Watching our lives float astray They yell to join them and it stains my brain But I just drift away My city's flooded, just another riverbed I hear them same old cliches "You can't win, but you should fight your whole life through" But I'll just drift away Baby, innocence ain't bliss In or out of your head River, river take me home Away from the darkness Away from the light that blinds me River, river take me home I'll just drift away Am I drowning or is the world upside down In the shadow of yesterday My ears are covered and I hear no sound I'll just drift away Baby, innocence ain't bliss In or out of your head River, river take me home Away from the darkness Away from the light that blinds me River, river take me home I'll just drift away

Running Against the Wind 05:37
lyrics

I felt a hand touch my shoulder And a chain around my wrist As I long to grow older Think of all the things I've missed And I could break my stride if I wanted to Running against the wind We were runaways hiding from our sin Running against the wind My grandma, she's lonely And my sister, she's a mess Every hour I sit thinking I just learn less and less And I could break my stride if I wanted to Running against the wind We were runaways hiding from our sin Running against the wind All my friends are going places And they're leaving me at home One day these familiar faces Will fade away I'm alone And I could break my stride if I wanted to Running against the wind We were runaways hiding from our sin Running against the wind
