I'm trapped in this town
No one wants me around
There's nowhere left to run too
End up sleeping on the ground
Out of options, out of time
Never any work and my student loans are behind
Took all my money out the bank and burned it
College is a joke, 5k later I learned it
Everything's a shade of grey
Ya have to pay if ya wanna play
End up pissing all my time away
I want to be one million miles away
Everything's a shade of grey
Ya have to pay if ya wanna play
End up pissing all my time away
I want to be one million miles away
Wake up at noon
Nowhere to go
Apathy and depression have me rigged to explode
So I paint on a wall and break some glass
Chanting this anthem of the underclass
Everything's a shade of grey
Ya have to pay if ya wanna play
End up pissing all my time away
I want to be one million miles away
I'm trapped in this town
I'm trapped in this town
I'm trapped in this town
I'm trapped in this town

YEAH YEAH YEAH!
The only attention I'm getting these days is from friends trying to send me to clinics
And every time I want to start something new, I remind myself I'll never finish
The only thing that can take off the edge is a drink and a record, let's spin it
And I really am sorry if I blatantly ignore you, I was thinking about death for a minute
But you can't understand
Cause if you did, you'd act like me too
And I've been driving myself fucking crazy trying to figure out what I should do, yeah
So I drown it out with cheap beer and cigarettes, let's chain smoke them all till there gone
Think about how it's about time that I sober up from this bad trip that I've been on
I'll drown it out with music and company but it isn't working the same
Even though I know I like to point fingers, it's really just me I should blame
FUCK!
I get this feeling the music I'm writing will never be worth anything
In five to ten years I'll look back on all this and say isn't this funny I thought I could sing
Life has been feeling a lot like a timebomb and I've just been hopeless and lost
It wouldn't matter if I got there before it blew up, cause I don't know which wires need crossed
You can't understand
If you did you'd wanna die
I have no choice but to walk out on all of my friends and family
Not a single good-bye, yeah
I'll drown it out with cheap beer and cigarettes
Let's chain smoke them all till there gone
Think about how it's about time that I sober up from the bad trip that I've been on
Ill drown it out with music and company but it isn't working the same
Even though I know and I'd like to point fingers, it's really just me I should blame blame blame blame blame
They say I'm complex, I think we're all fucked
They say I'm complex, I think we're all fucked

The Book
02:38

You know maybe there's a book
One that has instructions
It tells us when to cross the lines
When to push the buttons
If there's one thing I've been learning
It's not to count on what you know
Always smile wide enough
The indecision never shows
Maybe there's a rope that you pull
Maybe there's a light that you shine
Maybe all things that we believe are a waste of time
Maybe there's a rope that you pull
Maybe there's a light that you shine
Maybe all things that we believe are a waste of time
You hold me up to standards that you can't meet yourself
And judge me by a book that would've done you better on a shelf
Maybe there's a rope that you pull
Maybe there's a light that you shine
Maybe all things that we believe are a waste of time
You hold me up to standards that you can't meet yourself
And judge me by a book that would've done you better on a shelf

Yeah!
Maybe it all comes back to me
Maybe it all just fades away
Maybe I sit inside my room and I just smoke and drink all day
Maybe I'll binge a tv show
Maybe not I just don't know
Starting to feel again
Got a bad habit, trying to make that end saying
It's apathetic, and it's pathetic
One day your gonna fucking regret it
You second guess yourself
You live your life in a private hell
So tell me, so tell me
Are you in or are you out
Tell me what your all about
Cause I've got calendars and calendars of time that I've waisted
If I did it right I think I'd be in a different place
I don't look at my watch, so don't ask me
I'm not fond of the time, it blows past me
I've got calendars and calendars of time that I've waisted
If I did it right I think I'd be in a different place
I don't look at my watch, so don't ask me
I'm not fond of the time, it blows past me
It's apathetic, and it's pathetic
One day your gonna fucking regret it
You second guess yourself
You live your life in a private hell
So tell me
So tell me
Are you in or are you out
Tell me what your all about
Will you Rise
Or will you die
Will you Rise
Or will you die

Another Night
03:11
|
|||
|
Come on!
Another night, another empty room
I can think of five things I'd rather be doing
Three of them are you
Instead I stand here in discontent
Thinking about all of the time I've waisted
The time that's dead and spent
And a hundred contacts doesn't mean a lot
When your social skills are feeling like they're shot
And all the things you said were casting
Bigger stones at my glass houses
Tearing down the guard I've built
Replacing it with grief and guilt
I know I've been like this before
A million times or maybe more
Guess that I'll get used to this
Life's spent day to day just being pissed
Just like that. a line was crossed
You were busy tryin to figure out ways to knock me down a notch
But save your breath, cause I've got lists full of shit that I have botched
Your names number six or seven, I'm reminded to myself I can't win
And a hundred contacts doesn't mean a lot
When your social skills are feeling like they're shot
And the things you said were casting
Bigger stones at my glass houses
Tearing down the guard I've built
Replacing it with grief and guilt
I know I've been like this before
A million times or maybe more
Guess that I'll get used to this
Life's spent day to day just being pissed

Hate The Game

Gonna drink water till the piss falls out
I'm done with that shit, gonna flush it out
But I flip that coin each morning
And sometimes the result just digs the thorn in
I've been high since 2009
How time flies when your busy getting mind
Out of your head
Try to escape
Try to negate the thoughts I've had all day
Can ya blame me?
I'm just trying to get away
I know that your not happy with the choices that I've made
But you should know that
Neither am I
I'm starting to feel the last decade
I'm starting to feel the aches and pains
I'm starting to feel the way that it literally took my breath away
I'm feeling the repercussions
Of my time spent doing nothing
I disregarded all the warnings, I guess I had this coming
GO
Now the days all run together
Think of the ties I severed
People looking more like prices while I chase my vices
There's way too much invested
Shortcuts no longer blessed
I got myself in way too deep, now I'm being tested
And I can do better than this
You know that I can do better than this
This isn't what I planned
But I wouldn't expect you to understand
Isn't what I planned, isn't what I planned
But I wouldn't expect you to understand
Isn't what I planned
Come on
This isn't what I planned
Isn't what I
But I wouldn't expect you, I wouldn't expect you to understand
Isn't what I planned
This isn't what I
But I wouldn't expect you, I wouldn't expect you to understand
GO
GO

Stranded
02:32
|
|||
|
My mind is racing and chasing memories of me and you
Addicted to the past with no hopes of starting new
I'll stay stranded on this island of this portrait that you drew
And as the sun fades away it reminds me of you
And I don't think I'll make it out of here
Without you I'm stranded
Because in my mind you'll always be there
Without you I'm stranded
I don't think I'll make it out of here
Without you I'm stranded
Because in my mind you'll always be there
In my mind you'll always be there
Outside the world takes me for all that I have
And now that you've gone away from it, I'm never coming back
And as the sun fades away it reminds me of that day
And as the sun fades away it reminds me of that day!
And I don't think I'll make it out of here
Without you I'm stranded
Because in my mind you'll always be there
Without you I'm stranded
I don't think I'll make it out of here
Without you I'm stranded
Because in my mind you'll always be there
In my mind you'll always be there
Pick it up
And I don't think I'll make it out of here
Without you I'm stranded
Because in my mind you'll always be there
Without you I'm stranded
I don't think I'll make it out of here
Without you I'm stranded
Because in my mind you'll always be there
In my mind you'll always be there

Third Floor Window
02:53
|

|
Now I'm not trying say I've walked a lot of roads
I'm just tryna be content with the ones I know
Every crack in the sidewalk
Every tag on the wall
Every drunk motherfucker stumbling home from last call
I can see you from my third floor window
I can see you from my third floor window
But they can't see me
Walking past the same blocks
Oinking at the same cops
Trying get by with the small talk every day
When I get home I walk to my window
The talk of the town it blows my way because
I can see you from my third floor window
And I can hear them from my third floor window
But they can't hear me
No they can't hear me
And I can probably justify the reason why I sit and spy
The people always down there day and night
The people scream, the people fight
The people keep me up all night
The people keep me up all night
The people keep me up all night, all night, all night!
Pick it up
Go
I can see you from my third floor window
And I can hear them from my third floor window
I can see you from my third floor window
And I can hear them from my third floor window
But they can't see me
But they can't see me
No they can't see me
No they can't see me
From my third floor window

With a mouth full of glass
Would you spit or would you bite
It feels like lately, feels like lately
I'm not even fucking up right
Face down in the dirty laundry
It feels like I can breathe again
I think I finally feel again
I haven't felt that since God knows when
I know I'll never be first
A little better than last
I could listen for days
And still have questions to ask
In this god damn beautiful mess
Hold tight to what reminds you ya got something beating in your chest
Mines caving in, Minds caving in
And it's looking like the road needs paved again
Mines caving in, Minds caving in
And it's looking like the road needs paved again
I cut the corners till the corners cut me back
Thank god you lowered your rope
When all I needed was slack
You know I can't thank you enough for that
You know I can't thank you enough for that
Never gonna thank you enough for that
Never gonna thank you enough for that
You taught me two plus two doesn't equal purple
And stagnant souls are bound to curdle
No one remembers seventh out of ten in a race
Would you remember me if that's the best I take
No one remembers seventh out of ten in a race
Would you remember me if I could just take eighth
One more time, go
I feel fucked up every day
And I'm losing all the things that help me keep pace
When I was younger I was worried about where I'd place
But these days I just hope I fucking finish the race
And is it midnight, or is it 10 am
I loved how it never really mattered then
Started from the bottom that's still where I am
Started from the bottom, this is where I am
With a mouth full of glass, would you spit or would you bite
It feels like lately, feels like lately
I'm not even fucking up right
Kick it

I've been freaking out
And lately I've been thinking bout
The way that things are going down
And what that's doing to me
I'm trusting less and less
And everyone's a separate mess
And if I had to take a guess, well
Your all screwing me
You can blame it on tv
You can blame it on the shit I do
You can blame it on the music that I listen too
Blame it on the fact that I've been missing you
For way too long
For one too many
Songs about breaking down
People that don't come around
I thought this was a two way street, yeah
Your so condescending
And I'm so fucking done pretending
That I give a shit about any of this
Because it's been too long
And things have gone so wrong
Can't pour from and an empty cup
So I'm filling mine and you can go get fucked, Ciao
I'll see you all in hell
And I hope you motherfuckers take a little room
And I hope it's like swallowing a bitter pill
Your reactions are always hypocritical
The things you say
Things you do
Are not the same
And that's not cool
I've learned not to invest myself
In anything that depends on someone else
If there's one thing time has taught me
I got my own back and, my back's got me
Never wanted it to be this way
I didn't mean to fucking rain all over your parade
Despite the forecast, I won't be attending
If we catch up, I'd like to hear the ending
Think I'll show myself the door, fuck
Your so condescending
And I'm so fucking done pretending
That I give a shit about any of this
Because it's been too long
And things have gone so wrong
Can't pour from and an empty cup
So I'm filling mine and you can go get fucked
Go get fucked
I'm feeling ahh yeah yeah
I'm feeling ah yeah yeah
Fuck it

Epilogue
06:30

Thanks for giving me a place where I can hide
When my mind persists and the drugs run dry
I've been waking up a hundred times each night
Thanks for giving me a place where I can go
When my mind gets hazy and I don't know
Sometimes I need some help, and sometimes it shows
And I go
And I go
Thanks
Can ya tell me am I running out of songs
That can keep this heart ticking along
I remember when the music used to pour right out of me
But if peanut butters got jelly and Bonnie had Clyde
I got three other motherfuckers and some music to write
So maybe waking up tomorrow will be just fine, yeah
There's a lot of different places I would go
I can't blame the fact that you didn't know
And I shut myself off
Now I can't shake this cough
Tryin to put the pieces back in place
Mixing different things for a different taste
Till you gave me an escape that's much more safe
And I say
And I say
Thanks
Can ya tell me am I running out of songs
That can keep this heart ticking along
I remember when the music used to pour right out of me
But if peanut butters got jelly and Bonnie had Clyde
I got three other motherfuckers and some music to write
So maybe waking up tomorrow will be just fine, yeah
And I bet you wouldn't know me if I didn't start playing guitar
If I'm not on stage, then I'm doing myself in at the bar
My liver gets a breather while I'm strumming and I'm screaming
And deep down I know I got you to thank for that
So thanks for that
Thanks for that
Thanks for that
Don't hesitate
Aim to create
And leave a mark
It's never too late to start
Don't hesitate
Aim to create
And leave a mark
It's never too late to start
Don't hesitate
Aim to create
And leave a mark
It's never too late to start
