Square Peg (Barrett/Terrell)
I don't fit in anywhere
I'm a square peg on wheels
And I can't count on anyone
Except myself , except myself

Well, I can accept this
Yeah, I can deal with this
You're on your own

My world is turned upside down
All hell's breaking loose in my head
And I can't count on anyone
Except myself , except myself

The Short End (Barrett)
Life just kicked me down
Another flight of stairs
And it doesn't get easier, it only gets worse
Where pain feels good and love starts to hurt
No one is a legend until there're dead
So, I don't care if I make a difference.

Life just dealt a hand
And I knew the game was rigged
I never learned to cheat until I met you
When the chips fall you called it through
No one is a legend until they're dead
I don't care if I made a difference.

Grounded (Stiers)
I just can't take these brutal punches
I take one step forward then two steps back
I'm just getting older nothing's easier
Running 'round in circles getting dizzier and dizzier, busier
There's no sign of slowing
And where it all ends there's no way of knowing

I just can't breathe these raspy breaths
I try to hold on but there's nothing left.
Nothing's quite the same, it's not working out
I try to understand what the hell it's all about
I try to stand my ground but there's nothing to hold on
There's a feeling in my veins and it feels so cold

Where'd you go? Feelings that felt so strong?
I closed my eyes for oh so long
Where'd you hide when I needed a friend?
It's far from real and I'm never going home again.
(repeat)

Pins & Needles (Barrett)
What is it that you want from me
It doesn't seem the way it once seemed.
We keep on building on these foundations
That won't support anything

I'm tired of pretending that I'm interested in what you have to say
Always walking on pins & needles just because things don't go your way
I'm tired of pretending that I'm interested in what you did today
Always walking on pins & needles just because things don't go your way.

So you're looking for a new destination
You don't have to go very far.
And by the way, did I happen to mention?
Nobody gives a fuck who you are.

Repeat chorus 2x

Webster's Defines Resent (Stiers)
It seems to me the source of your hostility
I think you just hate yourself and put the blame on everyone else
As if we care. You're feeling that your life's not fair.
The grass is always greener for the ones with a blithe demeanor

Learn to swallow it down Earn your way
You've got to learn to buckle down
And even out the pain

There's no time to waste Put yourself in a better place
We're all getting tired of you and all the fucked up things you do
Young man Young Man Think that we don't understand
You're sitting there with you head in your hands.

Repeat chorus 2x

War on My Peers (Barrett)
Idle hands with idle minds
They should all be euthanized
It is my strong belief that no ambition gets no deals.
In this war on my peers
All bloodshed and no tears
This war on my peers

Success for the sake of someone else
They keep on selling out themselves
No theatres for my release
The battle's lasted for ten years
This war on my peers
All bloodshed and no tears
The war on my peers

Lead Follow (Barrett)
Folks get caught up in a vast array of things
Things that they were never meant to understand
So, collect all the data that you can
But you still won't get the answers in the end, I say
Lead, follow or get the fuck out of the way

Slipping (Barrett)
This time, like the other times
You worked your magic and slid right by
This time, like the other times
You lied your ass off and that's alright
This time, like the other times
You sold your soul for five minutes of glory

I'm slipping my way through the cracks of life

This time, like the other times
You were found guilty but never charged
This time, like the other times
You did your damage and made it right
This time, before the other times
You closed the door before it even opened

Repeat chorus

Dust (Stiers)
I'm not done and I'm not changing
But I'm with you all the way even though its dust
I've been listening and I've been lazy
I'll ride along with you despite its rust

Lockjaw metaphor, take me down my wallets sore
Kick em when they're down 'cause you know it works
Bite my tongue behind my teeth
All those words I didn't speak
Keep me close to you 'cause you know it hurts

I'm not through and I'm not waiting
But I'll stay long enough just to make it too late
Day in Day out things I can't forget about
Rob Peter to pay Paul just to compensate

Clenched teeth simile, choking on my proximity
Kick em when they're down 'cause you know it works
Close my mind behind my eyes, all those things that I despise
So keep me close 'cause you know it hurts

Burning Hippies (Barrett)
Tattoos, piercings and a brand new pair of Burkenstocks
Always talking 'bout the loves you never thought were lost
But we'll never let you live down all the things you say
Never let you forget all the fucked up things you say

What I'd like to do with hippies
The sweet smell of burning hippies
What I'd like to do with hippies
Burn them all!

'Mount (Barrett)
Will you ever amount to anything?

Keep wasting your time young man
Keep burning your candles at both ends
And when the flames reach the middle
You'll be stuck right back in the middle
And then we'll be right back at square one.
