Southside 03:14
Back at school I always wanted to be free again Back at home I always wanted the night to end What's the point of living a life when your dreams are dead Always being kicked down by close doors Always lying face down on the floor When will it be the time for my life to begin I can't sit here waiting for someone to take me away Take me to Southside to live my life in rhythm and bits of confetti And then Park Avenue if these plans come through The way that we've always wanted them to And now that our time has just begun we can say we've become someone Now our time has finally come to this Go to Southside, that's my final wish Wishing on another stupid dream to be where they've been seen Stuck in this town made of ABC’s Little kids in soccer jerseys Can't you see how little this town really means to me I can't sit here waiting for someone to take me away Southside to live my life in rhythm and bits of confetti And then park avenue if these place come through The way we've always wanted them to And now that our time has just begun, we can say we've become someone I can't sit here waiting for someone to take me away I can't sit here waiting for someone to take me, take me away Southside, to live my life in rhythm and bits of confetti Park Avenue if these plans come through the way that we've always wanted them to And now that our time has just begun, we can say we've become someone

It's 6:30 in the evening All I've done is watch the tv Counting away the time gone by as I sat back listening And I've run out of excuses I said I'd be there at three But with all this distant memories I don't think you'll see me at all And I know all I’ve done is disappoint you Time after time as the days go by I'm so damn sorry I know all I've done is hurt and hurt you Day after day although I try it never ends at all But I promise one day you'll turn up the volume and you’ll hear me pour my heart out on that stage But I promise one day you'll finally feel proud of me and I won't be ashamed anymore Half an hour has gone by and the hands still haven't moved Time is just a mystery and all I see is numbers Laughing at me and taunting me For everything I am and all that I hope to be I’m one apology, I am I know all I've done is disappoint you Time after time as the days go by I'm so damn sorry I know all I’ve done is hurt and hurt you Day after day although I try it never ends at all But I promise one day you'll turn up the volume And you’ll hear me pour my heart out on that stage But I promise one day you'll finally feel proud of me And I won't be ashamed anymore But I promise one day you'll turn up the volume and you’ll hear me pour my heart out on that stage But I promise one day you'll finally feel proud of me And I won't feel ashamed anymore

Now I've got nothing to say No, I've got no story to tell See this song is going nowhere Yeah it's going straight to -- Well none of my problems were valid But it's not like it mattered no nobody cares And I'm so sick of sappy ballads And it's not like you matter when did anyone care And that's okay ‘Cause at least I got it out of my system now And I'm okay Turns out this was all I needed anyhow Maybe I'm just a second choice But honey that's such a tired voice And I'm sick of hearing what you have to say Be a peach: get out of my fucking way now See I was never worth anything And that sucks to say but I guess it's true No I never deserved a single thing Now I don't know how to prove myself to you And that's okay, I'm not knocked down Because at least I got it out of my system now And I'm okay, don't fool yourself Turns out this was all I ever needed anyhow Maybe I'm just a second choice Honey, that's such a tired voice I'm sick of hearing what you have to say Be a peach: get out of my fucking way now It's like you thought you mattered to me Like you thought I ever gave a damn It's like you thought you mattered to me But how could I ever have given a damn Maybe I'm just a second choice But honey, that's such a tired voice And I'm sick of hearing what you have to say Be a peach: get out of my fucking way now Maybe I'm just a second choice Honey, that's such a tired voice And I'm sick of hearing what you have to say I'm so sick of what you have to say

I can not breathe when you say good bye I can not sleep when you say good night The fact that you're leaving me startles me awake And I don't know why You said that you would stay You said that you would come You told me you would be there for me I don't see your face anymore I can not do this on my own I need you by my side but things have changed You've gone away thinking I'd be ok Here I stand all alone weakened by your words again You say you love oh oh Yet you leave me oh no You don't want this I can see Yet you keep coming back to me Why do you keep playing me Knowing I'll play along And I'll let go of this tight rope But you won't be there when I fall No you won't be there when I fall There’s blood on my hands But I don't know if it's mine or yours I've done some things I never dreamed of But you pushed me to the edge You left me defenseless I had no choice I had to solve this on my own I don't know how to cope with the pain I'm breaking from within You act like it's so simple But it's not that easy to let go But it's not the same with me I'm learning how to fly I hope to see you again I know it will never happen Yet I still wait for you to call You say you love oh oh Yet you leave me oh no You don't want this I can see Yet you keep coming back to me Why do you keep playing me Knowing I'd play along And I'll let go of this tight rope But you won't be there when I fall No you won't be there when I fall Yet here I stand on the edge Knowing that I have lost This is the end I know it is I hope you're happy now I'll just pretend that you're at the end Oh you will be there when I fall Oh you will be there when I fall You say you love me oh oh Yet you leave me oh no You say you love me oh oh Yet you leave me oh no

Go back to the ones you so call friends Keep telling yourself it's not you it's them takes two to build a house and one to tear it down Don't expect me to pick up the bricks or else I'll throw them at your face If we're being honest it'd be an improvement I can't stand the sight of you any longer It's time to cut you out so I guess this is my goodbye Here’s a middle finger to everything you ever pushed my way Here's a middle finger to what wakes you up every single day I know I’m messed up beyond saving But honey you created the monster you're seeing So don't take it to personally Just drink hemlock or go into exile Put a fork in the toaster and watch the sparks fly I can't stand the snarky look in your eye You're still stuck in 1995 that's not a huge surprise Taken in fact that you're a bit clueless And always talking shit when You're just the shit stains on the bottom of my shoe I hope you hear this on your record player and know its about you Here’s a middle finger to everything you ever pushed my way Here's a middle finger to what wakes you up every single day I know I'm messed up beyond saving But honey you created the monster you're seeing Don't take it to personally Just drink hemlock or go into exile What makes you think I need you in my life Do you know how fast I could replace you Aren't those the words you live by Aren't those the words you’d die by What makes you think I need you in my life Do you know how fast I could replace you Aren't those the words you live by Aren't those the words you’d die by Here’s a middle finger to everything you've ever pushed my way Here's a middle finger to what wakes you up every single day I know I'm messed up beyond saving But honey you created the monster you're seeing So don't take it to personally Just drink hemlock or go into exile

All Is Well 03:47
Part I: A Not-So-Abstract Observation on the Human Condition Paralyzation is a funny sensation Fuzzy in the chest and fucking with your head Sounding off the sirens in your mind But the rings trigger nothing at all Failure is just a part of the human condition But I’m just a human who can't be conditioned Spent my life training for a future that seems futile And I'm sick of it And I thought I didn't care Kept a plan B in my jacket pocket They said I'd go nowhere And I’m too burnt out to give damn But I’m intoxicated on anxiety and reeling on lack of productivity And I'm starting to realize all my friends are ghosts And I'm stuck in this hole alone Maybe all we need is a city in chaos Flashing lights of new york swallowed into the dark Long concrete blocks, dead skyscrapers in silence Another power hunger at rest When everything you know is falling Do you catch it or let it crash Even if you pushed it over the edge Will it come back and make an impact Put on a smile cause I'm damned if I don't I put on an act cause I crumble although Behind the make believe face and the soft toned talk Is just another broken home I wish I could isolate emotion from practicality But all I am in reality Is this stress, I'm a wreck, just another dead end Waiting for a car to hit I'm a mess, hide my thoughts under another black dress Hoping for the luck to miss Maybe all we need is a city in chaos Flashing lights of new york swallowed into the dark Long concrete blocks, dead skyscrapers in silence Another power hunger at rest And I know you were here We were meant to last forever Where did forever go And I know you were here Just a step in the light from me But now the dark has come Maybe all we need is a city in chaos Flashing lights of new york swallowed into the dark Long concrete blocks, dead skyscrapers in silence I think I've lost myself in the abyss Part II: Everything Fixes Broken Maybe I’m just fucked up and deal with loss with grace From a dark cloud in march and a falling out in february Hell with dreams because we all wake up Open your eyes destruction is the truth I'm the absurd hero Spent my life working Just to let the labor kill me I'm walking and talking In 6 foot bed for one We're all here to save our investments But maybe some are worth abandonment I spent my whole year running to what looked like purpose But purpose is just fucked up coping mechanism This is what I wanted isn't it A city at its feet crumbling at the seams But I never asked for pure anarchy
