Burnout

I declare I don't care no more

I'm burning up and out and growing bored

In my smoked out boring room

My hair is shaggin in my eyes

Dragging my feet to hit the street tonight

To drive along these shit town lights

 

I'm not growing up

I'm just burning out

And I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead

 

Apathy has rained on me

Now I'm feeling like a soggy dream

So close to drowing but I don't mind

I have lived in this mental cave

Throwing my emotions in the grave

Hell, who needs them anyway


Having a Blast

I'm taking all you down with me

Explosives duct taped to my spine

Nothing's gonna change my mind

I won't listen to anyone's last words

There's nothing left for you to say

Soon you'll be dead anyway

 

Well, no one is getting out alive

This time I've really lost my mind and I don't care

So close your eyes and kiss yourself goodbye

And think about the time you spent and what they've ment

To me it's nothing

 

I'm losing all my happiness

The happiness you pinned on me

Loneliness still comforts me

My anger dwells inside of me

I'm taking it all out on you

And all the shit you put me through

 

Do you ever think back to another time

Did it bring you so down that you thought you lost your mind?

Do you ever want to lead a long ways of distruction

And mow down any bullshit that comforts you

Do you ever build up all the small things in your head

To make one problem that adds up to nothing


Chump

I don't know you but I think I hate you

You're the reason for my misery

Strange, how you've become my biggest enemy

I have never even seen your face

 

Maybe it's just jealousy

Mixed up with a violent mind

A circumstance that doesn't make much sense

Or maybe I'm just dumb

 

You're the cloud hanging out over my head

Hail comes crashing down welting my face

Magic man, egocentric plastic man

Yet you still got one over on me


Longview

Sit around and watch the tube but nothing's on

I change the channel for an hour or two

Twiddle my thumb just for a bit

I'm sick of all the same old shit

In a house with unlocked doors

And I'm fucking lazy

 

Bite my lip and close my eyes

Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn bored I'm going to blind!!!

And I smell like shit

 

Peel me off from this velcro seat and get me moving

I sure as hell can't do it by myself

I'm feeling like a dog in heat

Barred indoors from the summer street

I lock the door to my own cell

And I lost the key

 

I got no motivation

Where is my motivation

No time for motivation

Smoking my inspiration

I sit around and watch the phone but no one's calling

Call me pathetic, call me what you will

My mother says to get a job

But she don't like the one she's got

When masturbations lost its fun

You're fucking breaking

 

Bite my lip and close my eyes

Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn bored and I'm going to blind

And lonliness has to suffice

Bite my lip and close my eyes

Slipping away to paradise

Some say quit or I'll go blind

But it's just a myth


Welcome to Paradise

Dear mother, can you hear me whining

It's been three whole weeks since I have left your home

This sudden fear has left me trembling

'Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own

And I'm feeling so alone

 

Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes

Some call it slums and some call it nice

I want to take you through the waste land

That I like to call my home

Welcome to paradise

 

A gunshot rings out at the station

Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own

It makes me wonder why I'm still here

For some strange reasons it's now feeling like my home

And I'm never gonna go

 

Dear mother, can you hear me laughing

It's been six whole months since I have left your home

It makes me wonder why I'm still here

For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home

And I'm never gonna go


Pulling Teeth

I'm all busted up

Broken bones and nasty cuts

Accidents will happen

But this time I can't get up

She comes to check on me

Making sure I'm on my knees

After all she's the one

Who put me inthis state

 

Is she ultra violent?

Is she disturbed?

I better tell her I love her

Before she does it all over again

OH GOD, SHE'S KILLING ME!!!

 

For now I lie around

Hell that's all I cen really do

She takes good care of me

Just keep saying my love is true

 

Looking out my window for someone that's passing by

No one knows I'm locked in here

All I do is cry


Basket Case

Do you have the time

To listen to me whine

About nothing and everything all at once

I am one of those

Melodramatic fools

Neurotic to the bone no doubt about it

 

Sometimes I give myself the creeps

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

It all keeps adding up

I think I'm cracking up

Am I just paranoid?

I'm just stoned

 

I went to a shrink

To analyze my dreams

She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down

I went to a whore

He said my life is a bore

And quit my whining 'cause it's bringing her down

 

Grasping to control

So you better hold on


She

She, she screams in silence

A sullen riot penetrating through her mind

Waiting for a sign

To smash the silence with the brick of self control

 

Are you locked up in a world

That's been planned out for you?

Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?

Scream at me until my ears bleed

I'm taking heed just for you

 

She, she's figured out

That all her doubts are someone else's point of view

Waking up this time

To smash the silence with the brick of self control


Sassafras Roots

Roaming 'round your house

Wasting your time

No obligation, just

Wasting your time

So why are you alone?

Wasting your time

When you could be with me

Wasting your time

 

I'm a waste like you

With nothing else to do

May I waste your time, too?

 

Warding off regrets

Wasting your time

Smoking cigaretts

Wasting your time

I'm just a parasite

Wasting your time

Applying myself to

Wasting your time


When I Come Around

I heard you crying loud

All the way across town

You've been searching for that someone

And it's me out on the prowl

As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself

 

Don't get lonely now

And dry your whining eyes

I'm just roaming for the moment

Sleazin' my back yard so don't get

Uptight you been thinking about ditching me

 

No time to search the world around

'Cause you know where I'll be found

When I come around

 

I heard it all before

So don't knock down my door

I'm a loser and a user

So i don't need no accuser

To slag me down because I know I'm right

 

So go do what you like

Make sure you do it wise

You may find out that youeself

Doubt means nothing was ever there

You can't go forcing something

If it's just not right


Coming Clean

Seventeen and strung out on confusion

Trapped inside a roll of disillusion

I found out what it takes to be a man

Now mom and dad will never understand

 

Secrets collecting dust but never forget

Skeltons come to life in my closet

I found out what it takes to be a man

Now mom and dad will never understand

What's happening to me

 

Seventeen and coming clean for the first time

I finally figured out myself for the first time

I found out what it takes to be a man

Now mom and dad will never understand

What's happened to me


Emenius Sleepus

I saw my friend the other day

And I dont' know

Exactly just what he became

It goes to show

It wasn't long ago

And I was just like you

And now I think I'm sick

And I wanna go home

 

How have I been how have you been

It's been so long

What have you done with all your time

And what went wrong

I knew you back when

And you...you knew me

And now I think you're sick

I wanna go home

 

Anybody ever say no?

Ever tell you that you weren't right?

Where did all the little kid go?

Did you lose it in a hateful fight?

And you know it's true


In the End

All brawn and no brains

And all those nice things

Yeah, you finally got what you want

Someone to look good with

And light your cigarette

Is this what you really want?

 

I figured out that you're all about

And I don't think I like what I see

Sooooooo...

I hope I won't be there

In the end if you come around

 

How long will he last

Before he's in a creep in the past

And you're alone once again?

Will you pop up again

And be my "special friend" 'till the end

And when will that be?


F.O.D. (Fuck Off and Die)

Something's on my mind

It's been for quite some time

This time I'm on to you

So where the other face?

The face I heard before

Your head trips boring me

 

Let's nuke the pridge we torched 2,000 times before

This time we'll blast it all to hell

I've heard this burning in my guts now for so long

My belly's aching now to say...

 

Struck down in a rut

Of dislogic and smut

A side of you well hid

When it's all said and done

It's real and it's been fun

But was it all real fun?

 

You're just a fuck

I can't explain it

'Cause I think you suck

I'm taking pride

In telling you to fuck off and die

 

I had this burning in my guts now for so long

My belly's aching now to say

I'm taking pleasure in the doubts

That I've passed to you

So listen up as you bite this

 

You're just a fuck

I can't explain it

'Cause I think you suck

I'm taking pride

In telling you to fuck off and die

Good niiiiiiiiiiiiight...


All by Myself

I was alone

I was all by myself

No was looking

I was thinking of you

Yeah, did I mention

I was all by myself

All by myself

All by myself

All by myself

 

I went to your house

But no one was there

I went to your room

I was all by myself

 

You and me had

Such wonderful time

I was all by myself

All by myself...
