Someone / please turn the lights off for me We buried 2 in a year right next to him I carried the caskets away And never dropped the weight Never dropped the weight A dead man Walking on a tight-rope A t-shirt and a pack of smokes Left me with dog tags And the pack I've smoked I stay away to feel no pain I stay away / I fade away My Mother said: "Your Father's dead" He left us for the heavens I look away I feel no pain His headstone reads: “See you on the other side, man” It must be nice to believe it But there is no heaven / no hell And I don't believe in your gods I'm a cynical and negative person I look your way and I feel your pain ++++

Lock You Out 02:23
A platform for more private security A disciple of Christ A lover of violence and hostility I don't know anything We were not created by a god We are the amnesiac history Of bad story telling loaded with fallacy I don't know anything When I'm dried up I will put my hand in yours Then I'll show you no mercy To make you know it well Because there is no hell There is no god Just a pack of blood thirsty men We weren't created by gods We created them This is why I lock them out This is why I lock you out ++++

Summer Of 85 01:55
A dead man Found hanging Swaying in the wind The scene of a crime Or the sight and site of a suicide No closure in my mind I close my broken eyes This is the song for the summer of 85 This is the song for the ones who survived A dead man Found hanging Swaying in the wind The scene of a crime Or the site and sight of a suicide No closure in our minds We close our broken eyes This is the song for the summer of 85 This is the song for the ones who survived This is the summer a belittled boy's father died Oh / that summer of 85 ++++

I broke a window to see into your lives I choked up when I saw the pain in your eyes I never knew I've never known Your broken homes or tales of broken bones I wish I could take you all away To a beautiful place A calming river A mountain range A still frame of a loving memory Things aren't always what they seem Sometimes you need to know You're not the only one that's fucked up You're not alone We're not alone A token of love for those in need A broken nose for those who need to bleed A touch of clash for the ones with too much class "Get the fuck away from me" Is the anthem of us all And we're headed for the end of your world A place where no one walks to A place where you can only crawl through Things aren't always what they seem Sometimes you need to know You're not the only one that's fucked up You're not alone We're not alone Sometimes you need to bleed to figure it out Sometimes you need to bleed to share the pain I’m still here for all of you Even if you’re not here for me My gift to you from me Will be returned eventually You were never alone We were never alone Sometimes you need to bleed I’m still here for all of you Even if you’re not here for me My gift to you from me Will be returned ++++

Trash Me 03:33
If I fall you step right over me Maybe it's the past Catching up to remind me Of the bad things that I’ve done I don't know I don't like anyone It's nice to feel anything at all You were born to trash me So trash me You were born to trash me So trash me Throw me away It’s nice to feel anything at all Consider me next time around You were born to trash me So trash me If I fall you step right over me Maybe it's the past Catching up to remind me Of the bad things that I’ve done I don't know I don't like anyone It's nice to feel anything at all You were born to trash me So trash me The more I know The more I know nothing ++++

A little boy breaks his skull On a bunk bed As the step-monster screams And the Mother struggles to survive Lonsdale Ave had a dirty little secret For 3 years 3 years of beatings 3 years of blow And enough drink To drown a town's worth of feelings I know a dirty little secret There's no life left in your eyes / boy Everything's too heavy and I'm ready to die He (John Matthews) was a hunter An ex-military man The truest sheep In wolves' clothing With a kind and warming way I watched her face get smashed Countless times With the back of his hand The same hand That punched me And tossed me like a rag doll There's no life left in your eyes / boy Everything's too heavy and I'm ready to die ++++++

I think I'll stay here In my own world for a while I have learned to loathe yours And I don't see why I should stay Brain vacations are a mild relief But it's still not enough for me I'm seasoned to taste I'm weathered to waste Ageless in an ocean state Where the water's been rising So live the life you love No age waves To wash over me I hold on tight As the tides take The life you love out to sea Pain vacations are a mild relief But still not enough for me I'm seasoned to taste I'm weathered to waste Ageless in an ocean state Where the water's been rising So Live the life you love The world owes me nothing The world owes you nothing So live the life you love Without me Brain vacations are a mild relief But still not enough for me I'm seasoned to taste I'm weathered to waste Ageless in an ocean state Where the water's been rising So Live the life you love Without me ++++

No bandage for the severity Of a bond severed By the hands of loud talk Under the influence of imposters And forced roles In a place that I call home Where I no longer feel safe No bandage for my wounds Or the future of Blood thirsty / lust loving Fake it till you make it Fair-weather friends Who want to guide me Through their half-truths And garbage self portrayals Of perfection Fuck you I’m a survivor +++++
9.
I'll cut your head off If it gets super inflated I'll put my trust in you If you really want me to We get together We work together We get together to keep it deflated I've got some worries I've got some doubts I hold onto some vices Because I can't go without We get together We work together We get together to keep it medicated To feel nothing at all I feel nothing at all ++++

Get Down 02:58
We identify with the beggars The borrowed And the loved ones living in sorrow The confusion of youth I've seen the trash Where the street meets the curb Where the tips of bullets are hollowed A town down to drown in heroin flirtations Apathetic dealers / blow fiends Or whatever pill that can be swallowed Join me and get down Or Join them and stay down Teetering the poverty line When you're trapped living seven to seven Where broken bones can't exist We have no time for this An Injury equals months to years Of financial recovery A debt ceiling to high to reach While the outbursts of "What the fuck did I do to end up here?" And "When the fuck will this end?" Stop giving you comfort And start alienating your friends Join them and get down Or Join me and stay down ++++
11.
You're next in line The sweet summer's kind A loving season Black out Or pretend you didn't see it You tell of love less than lies Deep red blinds block your eyes The failure in disguise You tell of love less than lies You set fire to the giving tree We set fire to the giving tree Old age creeping up on you A young face hides a withering heart You fake it / you take it +++++
12.
It's very nice to be here But I know I can't stay here I'm coming back home again ++++
