Текст песни:

This song is for everyone that said I was
Programed, hardwired, that I′d self-destruct
They′d say I was destined to always be desperate
They′d say I was destined to always fuck up
And I was voted the first one to crumble and break
I′d never have a chance, the biggest waste

But now I′m the one who′s laughing last
Because you′re the one that keeps looking back
You′re the one that′s fading away

So I say
This song is for everyone that said I was
Programed, hardwired, that I′d self-destruct
They′d say I was destined to always be desperate
They′d say I was destined to always fuck up
And I was voted the first one to crumble and break
I′d never have a chance, the biggest waste

But now I′m the one who′s laughing last
Because you′re the one that keeps looking back
You′re the one that′s fading away, fading away

Текст песни:

Tonight i′ll be wiping my slate clean
I′′ll be clearing out those clouded memories
cause i don′t to keep living in the past
and i can′t stand how i always do that
tonight because you know i′m sick to death with every last regret and what i′ve said
and now all i really have left is my head
and its just a mess

Tonight i will dance on the graves of all my darkest days
and erase all the worries of all the time i wasted my scars may never go away
but i′ll learn not to mind them along the way

tonight because you know i′m sick to death with every last regret and what i′ve said
and now all i really have left is my head
and its just a mess

Tonight i will dance on the graves of all my darkest days
and erase all the worries of all the time i wasted my scars may never go away
but i′ll learn not to mind them along the way

right now i am giving the last rights to all my sleepless nights
right now i am starting clean and i am going on with my life
amen

Текст песни:

If you had all the facts, all the fictions
if you knew everything about science and all about religion
would you stand by your convictions
would you still make all the right decisions
would accept someone eles′s opinions in this life

becasue is it whatever it takes to get you by?
What′s the right thing to do in this crazy mixed up life?
sad or sober or strong or with closed eyes
would you still make all the right decisions
would accept someone eles′s opinions in this life

cause it′s all a leap of faith
from white plastic saints
to all those hard questions you have to face
every single day

if you had all the facts, all the fictions
if you knew everything about science and all about religion
would you stand by your convictions
would you still make all the right decisions
would accept someone eles′s opinions in this life

cause it′s all a leap of faith
from white plastic saints
to all those hard questions you have to face
every single day

i′ve read all the books and i still don′t have all the answers
and thats fine whatever it takes to get you by

it′s all a leap of faith
from white plastic saints
to all those hard questions you have to face
every single day

Текст песни:

By this time tomorrow
You′ll be out on the streets of Chicago
Walking all the way home from commuter trains

By this time tomorrow
You′ll be back home in Chicago
At the bars until they close
Back at the places that you′ve known and
It′l be skylines and rooftops
And it′s gunna be crowded tourist stops

So it′s goodbye
To your brand new life
So it′s good luck
Best wishes to your black lung

By this time tomorrow
You′ll be walking home thru Chicago
Past the nine to five crowds and underneath
Those unused fire escapes
By this time tomorrow
You′ll be at the bars in Chicago
Back with people that you know
Going places you used to go
It′s gunna be skyline and rooftops
And it′s gunna be crowded tourist stops

So it′s goodbye
To your brand new life
So it′s good luck
Best wishes to your black lung
So when you′re leaving the party just to beat the crowd
Just make sure that you′re the first one out

Текст песни:

Going back and forth inside my shut up brain again
(You gotta let her go, gotta let her go)
Worlds apart, I′m torn apart, I′ll stall up my senses
(You gotta let her go, gotta let her go)
Somehow through it all we′ve become defenseless
(You gotta let her go, gotta let her go)
I′m living this lie and I can′t pretend
(You gotta let her go, gotta let her go)

And I know I′ll get that feeling when we meet again
And I know I will be stronger in the end

I think I′m gonna lose my mind
′Cause I don′t wanna say goodbye [x2]

Now we realize the compromises you and I
(You gotta let her go, gotta let her go)
You fell from heaven to heartbreak in the blink of an eye
(You gotta let her go, gotta let her go)

And I know I′ll get that feeling when we meet again
And I know I will be stronger in the end

I think I′m gonna lose my mind
′Cause I don′t wanna say goodbye [x2]

You gotta let her go, gotta let her go [x4]

When I leave right now, get up and walk away
Our yesterdays will begin to fade

You gotta let her go, gotta let her go [x2]

Nana, nana [x8]

I think I′m gonna lose my mind
′Cause I don′t wanna say goodbye [x4]

You gotta let her go, gotta let her go [x4]

When I leave right now, get up and walk away
Our yesterdays will begin to fade

You gotta let her go, gotta let her go [x2]

Nana, nana [x4]

Текст песни:

I might as well just sleep it off
wishful thinking′s got my wires crossed (whoa ho)
when i am desperate and alone
i know i know i know how low i go

so i′ll drive and disapear
and maybe if i′m luck by this time next year
no one i know will know my name
it′s either change or go or i′ll explode today
i′ll leave a note on my machine
unplug the phone and finish packing all my things
i found a photograph of me
its been such a slow decay
day to day i don′t even recognize my own face

i had another breakdown
and i′m floating face down
i might as well just sleep it off
wishful thinking′s got my wires crossed (whoa ho)
when i am desperate and alone
i know i know i know how low i go

i′m going to sleep it off
this sinking feeling of always feeling lost
hasn′t been that long
six years worth of always being wrong
i met an old friend out on the street
trade stories and out of date memories
and she has a photograph of me it′s been such a slow decay day to day
did we seem much happier in those days

its been a slow decay
day to day i don′t even recognize my face

i know i know i know how low i go [x4]

Текст песни:

I remember every bridge i ever jumped off blindly
And all my boring stories keep reminding me

′cause in all honesty i used to be an authority
on irony and remembering my broken dreams and everything that used to be around
and it′s not so complicated to explaine why these feelings faded

please pass some sanity, saint of mediocrity and keep me out of my sobriety 14 and 23,
bridge and tunnel authority will keep me out of my sobriety

I say we just celebrate (I say we just celebrate)
And all my past mistakes and all my too little to lates

′cause in all honesty i used to be an authority
on irony and remembering my broken dreams and everything that used to be around

And did i ever mention that i′ve lost al my best intentions

please pass some sanity, saint of mediocrity and keep me out of my sobriety 14 and 23,
bridge and tunnel authority will keep me out of my sobriety

Текст песни:

And I swear it′s the last time and I swear it′s my last try
and we′ll walk in circles around this whole block
walk on the cracks of the same old sidewalks
then we′ll talk about leaving town
yeah we′ll talk about leaving
I swear it′s the last time, and I swear it′s my last try

We rode across that bridge all night
we talked our way through city lights
traced all the lines, we′re killing time
under those buzzing signs
from downtown to anywhere but here
tonight, yeah, I swear to these rooftops
and just hoped that car would never stop

[Chorus:]
And I swear it′s the last time and I swear it′s my last try
and we′ll walk in circles around this whole block
walk on the cracks of the same old sidewalks
and we′ll talk about leaving town
and we′ll talk about leaving
I swear it′s the last time and I swear it′s my last try

We drove around this place all night
past closed signs and familiar sights
we′re moving by, passing time
counting those center lines
with 20,000 lines left to go
that lead to somewhere I don′t know
it might be the time that we leave this all behind

[Chorus]

And there′s been a few times
that we thought it felt right
to take all the westbound signs
and just leave town tonight

And I swear it′s the last time and I swear it′s my last try
and we′ll walk in circles around this whole block
walk on the cracks of the same old sidewalks
and we′ll talk about leaving town
yeah we′ll talk about leaving
I swear it′s the last time and I swear it′s my last try
and I swear it′s my last try
and we′ll talk about leaving town
and we′ll talk about leaving town

Текст песни:

So it′s sunrise
sober eyes
see my room spin around
crowded bars and crumbling town
I′m a mess
a monument
two clenching fists of helplessness
oblivious to all of it
situation hopeless
will all the assholes in this room
please raise your right hand

It′s sunrise
sober eyes
see my room spin around
crowded bars and crumbling towns
I′m a mess
a monument
two clenching fists of helplessness
oblivious to all of it
situation hopeless
will all the assholes in this room
please raise your right hand

Текст песни:

We have our master plan bottled and canned living in the 352
Steps 1 and 2 walk home drunk wake up confused with a stranger next to you
The copied costumes and conversation seem to be totally making
this into a strip mall kind of town
I use my credit card to buy alcohol student loan spent at the mall and I
I may be going broke but I’m never broken down

We have our history just you and me but our future gets tucked away
Steps 3 and 4 staying drunk sit on this porch planning out how to escape
Cause were two truck stops off the interstate promised land with a twist of fame
Were a town for all the lost and found
So sleep tight in this smoky room still buzzed from this afternoon and I
I may be going broke but I’m never broken down

Текст песни:

Well I′m happy to report,
My long standing last resort,
Ended by just stopping short,
Of me burning like a torch.
Step off, stand back.
Cause it′s a fact I′ve got to match,
And all my fingers crossed behind my back.

Give me some breathing room.
Cause I′m breathing fumes I′ll light the fuse.
Give me some breathing room.
Cause there′s something that I need to prove.
Give me some breathing room.
Cause I′m breathing fumes I′ll light the fuse,
And I′m gonna make the evening news.

Well I′m busy making plans,
With a flare gun in my hand.
Kerosene soaked through my pants,
The last words of my last stand.
Step up, step back.
Cause it′s a fact I′ve gotta match,
And all my fingers crossed behind my back.

Give me some breathing room.
Cause I′m breathing fumes I′ll light the fuse.
Give me some breathing room.
Cause there′s something that I need to prove.
Give me some breathing room.
Cause I′m breathing fumes I′ll light the fuse,
And I′m gonna make the evening news.

And I′m gonna make the evening news.

Give me some breathing room.
Cause I′m breathing fumes I′ll light the fuse.
Give me some breathing room.
Cause there′s something that I need to prove.
Give me some breathing room.
Cause I′m breathing fumes I′ll light the fuse,
Give me some breathing room.
I′m on fire it′s all ending soon,
And I′m gonna make the evening news.

Yea I′m gonna make the evening news. [x2]

Текст песни:

I′m on a mission
To see what’s been missing
My favorite song is on repeat
But it’s just not helping me
My eyes have been wider but never been brighter
Something else is going on
I need a reminder of why I feel this way

There’s a fine line between
Living a lie and feeling alive
There are times that I′ve been
Looking from the outside in
And here I go again
Falling behind losing my mind
I′m pretending it’s alright
Listening to the soundtrack of my life

Wo-oh
Listening to the soundtrack of my life

I still believe in
Facing all my demons
And everything that people promise
Everything I’ve always wanted
My mouth has been open
My words have been stolen
It may have been used against me
It’s starting to affect me
And now I feel this way

There’s a fine line between
Living a lie and feeling alive
There are times that I’ve been
Looking from the outside in
And here I go again
Falling behind losing my mind
I′m pretending it’s alright
Listening to the soundtrack of my life

Wo-oh
Listening to the soundtrack of my life

And it goes like this…

And it takes me back…

And it spins around
And round and round
And round and round
And it goes around
And always leads to black

There’s a fine line between
Living a lie and feeling alive
There are times that I’ve been
Looking from the outside in
And here I go again
Falling behind losing my mind
I′m pretending it’s alright
Listening to the soundtrack of my life

Wo-oh
Listening to the soundtrack of my life

Текст песни:

Get yourself ready,
Hold your hand steady
Cause it′s shaking from all this waiting.
Fingers bent your fist starts to clench,
As the pen signs the check today for the rent.
Dollars and cents, are not making sense.
We can tell em′ all to go to hell. (tell them all go to hell)

Give em′ our conviction notice.

Na na na na, Na na na na.
Give em′ our conviction notice.
Na na na na, Na na na na.
Give em′ our conviction notice.
Na na na na, Na na na na.
Give em′ our conviction notice.
Na na na na, Na na na na.
Tell them all to go to hell.

Get yourself ready,
Hold your hand steady
Cause it′s shaking from all this waiting.
Fingers bent your fist starts to clench,
As the pen signs the check today for the rent.
Dollars and cents, are not making sense.
We can tell em′ all to go to hell. (tell them all go to hell)

Give em′ our conviction notice.

Welcome to a place where rent meets debt,
It feels like a price on your head.
Money can′t buy happiness ,
But it sure can pay the rent.
We always try to buy a better life,
I think we may have over spent.
Mixing pride and dollar signs,
Is easier said than done.

Na na na na, Na na na na.
Give em′ our conviction notice.
Na na na na, Na na na na.
Give em′ our conviction notice.
Na na na na, Na na na na.
Give em′ our conviction notice.
Na na na na, Na na na na.
Tell them all to go to hell.

Na na na na, Na na na na.
Give em′ our conviction notice.
Na na na na, Na na na na.
Give em′ our conviction notice.

Give em′ our conviction notice.
Tell them all to go to hell.

Текст песни:

[Roger:]
So you say, all your white flags are up and that you′ve had enough and that you were tired of
collecting dust, you say everything always looks the same and you made your brand new face to match
your brand new place, you say all your distress calls have gone out and your ship is going down

[Pre-chorus]
[Chris:]
Well I say it to myself all the time,
"Stop living half and a life and stop feeling like I′m half alive."

[Chorus]
[Roger:]
I can′t get enough, I′m not satisfied, I′ve wasted my time with this daily grind, in single file
line, is this real life, I′ve been telling myself sometimes, what matters is on the inside.

[Roger:]
Do you remember when we had all the answers, and can you really remember when we wished for anything
better, just to feel like it′s been forever, does it feel like a broken record, a head full of
yesterdays, you keep wishing your life away, you can′t keep looking over you own shoulder, things′ll
never look up unless you start to move forward.

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

[Chorus 2]
[Roger:]
I can′t get enough, I′m not satisfied, I′ve wasted my time with this daily grind, I can′t get
enough, I′m just getting by, I can′t stand this design for our bitter lives, I keep feeling lost and
I′m not satisfied with traffic and turnpikes and these tired eyes

[Chorus]

Текст песни:

Calling all mothers and fathers,
Come get your sons and daughters.
Right now they′re on corners,
Finding ways to cure their boredom.
I′m sitting right here with them,
Waiting on those prescriptions.
Like it′s our only mission.

Silver flasks and zip lock bags.
Vacant eyes and sweaty hands.
Cut in thirds then cut in half.
Money to monsters, exchanging hands.

Calling all mothers and fathers,
Come get your sons and daughters.
Right now they′re feeling awkward,
Pills and powders in their lockers.
I′m standing right here with them,
Waiting on the voice of reason.
Glass pipes and tunnel vision.

Silver flasks and zip lock bags.
Vacant eyes and sweaty hands.
Cut in thirds then cut in half.
Money to monsters, exchanging hands.

Please excuse me while I sober up,
Hard to tell when you′ve taken enough

Silver flasks and zip lock bags.
Vacant eyes and sweaty hands.
Cut in thirds then cut in half.
Money to monsters, exchanging hands.

(aaa)
Giving′ money to monsters, money to monsters.
(aaa)
Giving money to monsters, summoning monsters.

Текст песни:

When is common sense too much to ask?
And then when did consequences get left in the past
Is it just bad habits or a typical script
Is it all big plans then a swing and a miss
Can say my influence become by design
Or is science and cigarettes my compromise
I don′t know by I′m blamed everyone else
Just as long as I never put the blame on myself

Cause I know, I′ve wasted way too many times
Living way too many lies
How can this be my fault, I′m always right
There′s a devil in my DNA
Programmed parts from all the start
Or is there no one else to blame?
For my tangled up gears and my turnstile jobs
Fact is I′m just a living son of all my parts

When do instruments come with a catch?
And when is self-destruction just proven as a fact?
Is it blind faith or the family name?
Is it all by chance or completely ingrained?
Can I say it′s an imbalance of the chemical kind
Or is my environment that becomes my only disguise
I don′t know but I′m blaming everyone else
Just as long as I never put the blame on myself

Cause I know, I′ve wasted way too many times
Living way too many lies
How can this be my fault, I′m always right
There′s a devil in my DNA
Programmed parts from all the start
Or is there no one else to blame?
For my tangled up gears and my turnstile jobs
Fact is I′m just a living son of all my parts

Cause I know, I′ve wasted way too many times
Living way too many lies
How can this be my fault, I′m always right
There′s a devil in my DNA
Programmed parts from all the start
Or is there no one else to blame?
For my tangled up gears and my turnstile jobs
Every one of five fears and for my fatal flaws
Everything that I′ve had and haven′t all chased
Cause you know there′s a devil in my DNA
