So this is saying Goodbye (Sarginger)
you pick me up just to throw me down
saying things to lead me on
when he's gone you think I'll be around
but you're wrong. so wrong

I would do anything for a minute of your time
we could be everything if you just give me a sign
it won't be long. 'till you're down , where you belong

call me up to say we can't talk
ask me out. tell me you're moving on
you want a hug to make it alright
but its not. no it's not.

 

Down in Flames (Barrett)
double fisting on a monday. here we go again
don't need a destination. give me the keys to the lincoln

blacked out on monday. who turned out the lights.
don't know what I'm saying
I still have a lot more shit to talk though

we're on a hayride to the edge of hell
don't believe what you can't remember
made a wrong turn in the right direction
force out a laugh as you go down in flames

wake up in the morning. sick with disappointment
this mission accomplished.
pick up everything that you knocked down.

no rest for the wicked. just keep doing what you know.
'cuz there's only one fear……..and to you they're already dead, well

we're on a hayride to the edge of hell
don't believe what you can't remember
made a wrong turn in the right direction
force out a laugh as you go down in flames
down in flames, down in flames, down in flames

 

Drinkin' with Number Three (Stiers)
two down and one to go
that's how it is, just goes to show
tongue tied unable to talk
you said your say now walk the walk
two down now its you or me
I've been "drinking with number three".
I've been thinking and I think that you know
it's two down and one to go

two down and I like the odds
50/50 with the king of frauds
I've been thinking and I think that you know
two down and one to go
two down now its you or me
I've been "drinking with number three".
I've been thinking and I think that you know
it's two down and one to go

 

Independence Day (Sarginger)
so many questions asked, so many lies been told
you can't stand the heat, I can't stand the cold
with you it's always something, something I can't be
I try to reach your standards, you try to conquer me

I can't believe the news, what I heard today
I can't believe the fact, what I heard you say
I won't be around , to give you what you need
a spineless little boy, on which to live you feed

so now you've gained your freedom , broke these chains once strong
now you want forgiveness but I don't care at all.

so many questions asked, so many lies been told
you can't stand the heat, I can't stand the cold
with you it's always something, something I can't be
I'll never reach your standards, you'll never conquer me

 

Nail Me Down (Barrett)
I don't want to state the obvious
it's not hard to find the words. It's not hard to find the words
there is so much contempt in the air.
and I think we all know why. I think we all know why

keep on searching for something new.
as long as you're certain that it's not you.
go ahead and blame me I won't feel a thing
nail me down I don't feel a thing.

I don't want to fake it anymore
it's not worth it anymore. not worth it anymore
please don't let this go too far
we'll make up for the lost time. we'll make up for the lost time.

 

Loaded Gun (Sarginger-words / Barrett-words and arrangement)
painted yourself into a corner once again
same old story that just never seems to end
one night of whiskey one night of lies
the paint will dry and you'll realize
this life you lead is not your own
you're displaced by the memories that you've outgrown.

you're a loaded gun
you're a loaded gun

everywhere you go and everyone you see
just reminds you of what your life's supposed to be
you tasted freedom and you taste revenge
the taste is sweeter in the bitter end
this life we lead is not our own
we're displaced by the memories that we've outgrown

Five Day Weekends (Sarginger)
it's tuesday morning and I find I'm drinking once again
old habits hard to break when there's no reason
the weekend's getting longer and the week shrinks just the same
seems like these days at work are getting longer

and I don't care anything about you
and I don't care what you have to say
I'm trying my hardest to forget you
and all the pain I had to take

it's sunday morning and I'm feeling shaky once again
reality, it comes in the form of headaches
the last five days are blurry but the past remains the same
like the scar you left upon me with your leaving

and I don't care anything about you
and I don't care what you fucking think
and I trying my hardest to erase you
with every liquor that I drink

The Circuit (Barrett)
play it for the ones, who will always understand
blame it on the ones, who are never there

let's have one last hurrah, before this all sinks in
'cuz you know we can't keep doing this
on second thought, yes we can!

torment everyone, just to clear the way
and torment everyone, but they won't go away

we know that it's time to leave, as they shove us out the door
the Lincoln scrapes the alleyways
trash goes flying through the air

you know that you can't go wrong, as long as you pretend
and everyone still dreams in a world of make believe.

I hope we can all count our blessings
from the nights we've made it through
it's 4am and we're still out
fucking with the living dead

 

Just This Eulogy (Stiers)
not all friends come with smiles
not all nightmares come with fangs and tethered claws
I hate to state the obvious
my every penchant is pathos superflous

there's no pot of gold
just embers growing cold
your haunting memory & whispers in my ear
no warmth & no caress
no rustling of your dress
just passing glances of your face in my mirror

I want to believe there's something for me

who'll scrub this crimson from the floor?
who'll pry these nails from this splintered dusty door?
who'll kiss these bruises soft & kind?
I dig and dig & bones are all I find

there's no silver cloud
just this "plastic shroud"
just this eulogy & never ending pain
a shovel and a spade
these withered dreams we made
regrets so cold and coarsing through my veins

I want to believe , there's something for me
I want to believe , there's someone for me

 

Curbfeeler (Stiers)
well I'm all loose spun, never had any fun, never had anyone
sulky sadness covers me
talk about loose ends. this is where it ends
open wound that mends. stumbling to my death.

I keep wishing but there's no one listening
sinking premonition that I might be blind
been down here feeling, staring at the ceiling
only goes to show I don't deserve to find

well I'm quick winded. very rarely open ended.
torn apart and suffering. getting by on thermazine
heavy headed empty hearted , can't finish what I started
open wound that never mends
stumbling to my death..

 

Moving Forward (Sarginger)
moving forward never looking back
moving forward never feels the same way as it did before
moving forward never looking back
moving forward never goes as easy when you're off the beaten path

right now I could use a little guidance
right now I could use some time to think

moving backward, never looking up
moving backward, never goes as easy as the first time you lived
moving backward, never looking up
moving backward, never goes as easy when you have a life to choose

right now I could use a little guidance
right now I could use another drink
'cuz the more I think I know , the more questions that they ask me
and I don't think I can fool them anymore
the more I leave behind the more reasons to go back there
and I don't think I can do this anymore.

 

The Recovery (Sarginger)
it's 2 in the morning and your back's against the wall
displayed your confidence, no reason to withdrawal
with strength in numbers we will always stand tall
defend our friends, our lives, our families

scapegoats of humanity, the ones they always blame
for everything that's wrong, for what they can't explain
we take the road less traveled chose our destiny
never give in to our society

two fingers in the air is what we have to say
to all the narrow minds that plague society
to an apathetic world that wallows in decay
we will remain for the recovery

 

Take it Away (Barrett)
stupid kids don't wanna know
they never look you in the eyes
but one day they'll inherit the world
and fuck up all of the architecture so,

take it away, take it with you when you go
take it away, take it with you when you go
take it away, who you are is where you're from

we don't care what they say,
what they say when we're not around
I reserve the right,
to watch the nights slip by and complain all day. yeah!

we'll never compromise
everything that we've worked for
you can have your little friendship rings
we'll be out kicking down the doors

 

Baby Steps (Stiers/ Barrett)
I've been down here for a long time
and I don't feel a thing at all
everyday I spend with you is like staring at a wall
I hear all the things you say
I played all the games you play
I feel like I can't breath
I know that I can't stay

what makes you think that I'll keep holding on?
the light's burned out and it's been way too long
I guess you thought that I could live this way
the door's locked there's no one home,
this is it, we're on our own.

I've been down here so long
just trying to find a trace
but I know that I must be blind
can't see my hands before my face
and I know I said to you
something like I'd be true
now you're asking me to lie
what am I supposed to say?
