Falling Apart I fell asleep at the wheel again I had a dream that I woke up in jail I can’t believe how much I’m falling apart And you make it look so easy I lost my mind and I ruined the show I threw away all the songs that I wrote I think the past is catching up with me I won’t get off so easy I could medicate the clouds away And if only for a moment heal the pain Temporarily turn off the lights Turn the volume down so I can sleep tonight I’m spending far too much time with regret I did some things that I’ll never forget I hope somehow they have forgiven me Cause I can’t ignore the feeling I could medicate the clouds away And if only for a moment heal the pain Temporarily turn off the lights Turn the volume down so I can sleep tonight

No One Cares Why Should I I took myself for a ride Thirteen years I held on tightly Never getting off the train I kept singing the same old song Not for me but everyone else Bleeding from a dried up vein Everybody felt the same My blood thinned out in time Lost strength and gave up the fight Now I’m heeding your advice No one cares so why should I You won’t believe what I just read Throw conviction out the window I’m looking out for number one I can’t pretend that I feel guilty And my friends intend to just enable me I’ve fallen down into a rut Nobody to help me up What if I don’t have the right Second thoughts and I can’t decide Now I’m heeding your advice No one cares so why should I I have deprived myself of this for far too long I have become what I was all along

This Shell 02:05
This Shell I live inside this shell, this shell, this shell A decomposing corpse is where I dwell Inside the fire burns with no regrets But to the outside world it’s smoldering at best I’m stuck inside this shell, this shell, this shell I tried to climb up top and down I fell The lights are dim now the well is dry Upstairs the cracks are showing I cannot deny I am old I am old I am older than dirt I am old Slow the decaying down with alcohol Pickle my brain so I can’t feel at all My blood still boiling within my veins Why does being human feel so inhumane I am old I am old I am older than dirt I am old
4.
The Still and the Lost I have planned it out And I have everything in order Got no friends or family But all my bills are paid I have given names To the things in my apartment It helps to ease the loneliness And I’ve been so alone I have a lamp that I call Illumination She sheds light on everything All lies and mistakes I’ve made Small is the globe and I call him Destination He’s there to remind me of Places I will never go Awake at nine AM I’m gonna take care of the problem Light myself a cigarette And then a couple more Unlike my whole life I’m gonna get this right the first time One thing I have always been Is good at giving up I’m looking out of a thirteenth story window I can feel the gravity Pull me close to tragedy I hear the sound of the sidewalk people laughing Might as well have leant a hand Bet they won’t be laughing when I land There is a statue made of stone beside me Covered in excrement and crumbling slightly Cold and alone he suffers from exposure He is as still as I am lost
5.
Delusional 02:57
Delusional Hold my hand and don’t look down Get your feet back off the ground and just Take a look around you kid Like everyone already did You’re delusional Cheap guitars and microphone stands I built this place with my own hands And I recommend you do the same Rid your head those dreams of fame You’re delusional You will never know fame You’re not gonna get signed This charade is just one huge waste of time Go down to the record store Buy a copy of Nebraska and Rip that shit off best you can Congratulations now you’re just like them Delusional You will never know fame You’re not gonna get signed This charade is just one huge waste of time You are your biggest fan Legend in your own mind You and everyone else who waits in line I’m just like you in some ways Truth hurts more than lies these days But I still believe that someone cares And I’ve been treated so unfairly oh I’m delusional ( x 1000 )
6.
Love Suicidal You are just another girl and so am I How we love each other is by our design They may never ever understand We may never ever understand I cannot deny myself forevermore And I won’t apologize for being born We have only one life to give love I could die without a chance to love I have to tell you my heart I wrote it all down in my journal and left it open For you to find on my desk Right next to the photo of us hand in hand after church Don’t you know this world is such a lonely place So devoid of love that god could not replace It is all just made up in their minds And their love is no more real than mine When you read on you will find The last words that I’ll ever write are meant only for you I saved up all of my meds Enough so I won’t fail again I’m not scared anymore I have nowhere left to turn My god and my church have both failed me like they failed before I knelt down beside my bed And prayed that this torture would end I’m not scared anymore

Amplifier 03:13
Amplifier The dirty sunlight shines Through broke Venetian blinds Cardboard and carpet stains These houses look the same I am avoiding what I know I should confront I disappear into your warmth They called us both upstairs We answered unaware On the couch paralyzed Tears filled up both their eyes It’s not about you And you know it’s not your fault We have to do this for ourselves I know you are only ten But when you’re older you’ll know We do the best that we can These are the cards we were dealt Remember that you are loved You have a family still It’s all a part of god’s plan He will forgive us I know I wanna crawl inside Get tangled in the wires I need new place to go Instead of real life I’m so removed from this I don’t even exist The more the tubes will glow The further I can go And away we go The only thing that’s certain now Is the uncertainty somehow You have to live with this You have no say in this From this point on I just don’t care I will concede to the unfair I will not bat an eye when you abandon me I own this moment now This saturated sound I cannot compromise I know only overdrive

I’m Not Going Back I was angry I don’t know at what Disappointment filling up my cup and I could Never trust in anything at all I stayed in a place with many walls When I fell down no one broke my fall but I was Happy to feel anything at all I’m not going back I’m not going, ever going back Paranoia snuck into my mind The fear of failure keeping both hands tied I felt like I could not do anything at all I stood up frightened in my bed My heart tried to explode my head I felt the cold sweat on my face I crossed my fingers just in case Had I known then What I know right now Despite my efforts Nothing would be any different Cause I can not change anything at all
9.
The Well 03:04
The Well I have walked and I have wandered I have tripped and I have fell In the ditches and the gutters I have drowned inside the well I should take what you have given Lock it up and keep it safe Never waste another moment Never throw your words away I’m not waiting any longer For the meaning or the moment To reveal what is perfect I will find my way out of the well I am lost, I am defeated I am everything I hate Buried deep under the ground now My words echo in the cave Open up and let the doubt in Hold my breath and suffocate There is no one who can touch me I am lord of this domain They say that drowning is slow And peaceful when you finally go You live your whole life in that moment Then you’re gone I won’t hesitate to wonder What will happen if I fail I can promise me a beating I will beat myself into the ground
10.
Broken Instrument Good morning Mr. Heart Thank you for meeting with me I hope I’m not wasting your time You look like hell today Grey hair and polyester I wonder if you’re flammable Cause you’re gonna regret that you didn’t respect me The god you believe in will still guarantee that you burn I did now it’s your turn Mr. Heart you have failed My mother and my father They trusted you with everything Do you have any more Guilt or humiliation I don’t believe I’ve had my fill My Ogden has taken me out in the hall In an effort to make an example for all I admit it did hurt just a bit When the instrument broke on the back of my legs I was proud and the anger was more than the pain that I felt I hope you are in hell You are the source of my worst frustrations I will enjoy this retaliation I will inform them of your transgressions They will eject you Know the error of your ways Those halls are empty now Cracked tiles and rusted lockers That world had long been abandoned

Peninsula 03:00
Peninsula I have waited patiently for it to turn around I have practiced my invention I have only good intentions Having fallen off the wagon just to crawl back on I was following for miles I was following for miles Over hills across plains Been in cars and in trains I have spoke without lies I have dust in my eyes There were words unsaid for hours Sometimes days on end When we finally found the courage It was instantly regretted On the edge of a peninsula we’re falling off This is only the beginning Of the longest ever ending In the air and over waves Been in boats and in planes I won’t follow you home You won’t follow me home
