Forget Today, Forget Tomorrow
This house of glass is not my home anymore.
The ties that bind will break us. So break out fast and don't look
back. Just hit the rails and fall down fast. We forget today,
and a little more tomorrow. When it comes to finding ours, when we
find it then we follow. And I... and when it falls on me, then it
falls just a little harder. And I've seen it all before... it's just
another lonely day without me. These streets, this town is not my
home anymore. I've paid my dues in full. The ties that bind
won't hold me down anymore. I know the golden rule. Hitch a
ride to nowhere, not anywhere. The rails are bleeding fast.
As we fall down facing what we think might be forward, but I know that
we're looking back. We forget today, and a little more tomorrow.
When it comes to finding ours, when we find it then we follow. And
I... and when it falls on me, then it falls just a little harder.
Cause I've seen it all before... it's just another lonely day without me.
This house of glass is not mine anymore. The ties that bind won't
break us. So break out fast and don't look back. You knew you
always would. And we forget today, and a little more tomorrow.
When it comes to finding ours, when we find it then we follow. And
it... and when it falls on me, then it falls just a little harder.
Cause I've seen it all before... it's just another lonely day...
And we forget today, and a little more tomorrow. When it comes to
finding ours, when we find it then we follow. And it... and when
it falls on me, then it falls just a little harder. Cause I've seen
it all before... it's just another lonely day without me.
MCA
Write a letter to myself of white flags and surrender.
I dig my trenches six feet deep. But where are you now, while we
still stand proud and you're still tripping on your feet? So you
better run for cover boy. The beretta's just pulled your fucking
number. I've been a vindictive man, I've been a man of power, but
looking at you is just like pulling teeth. I said looking at you
is just like pulling teeth. So here's to our past... from the bottom
of our glass that tilted, spilled, hit the floor, then smashed. So
here's to our past... from the bottom of our glass that tilted, spilled,
hit the floor, then smashed. I've seen a million faces, but I can't
seem to forget the ones that burn me. But where are you now, while
we still stand proud and you're still tripping on your feet? So here's
to our past... from the bottom of our glass that tilted, spilled, hit the
floor, then smashed. So here's to our past... from the bottom of
our glass that tilted, spilled, hit the floor, then smashed. Who
starts the riot, then hides behind it? You sing the songs, but you
know that we didn't buy it. When we hear it on the streets and we
held it in our hearts. You made us what we hated and you tore us
all apart! Who steps aside? We walk the line. You sing
the songs, but you know that we didn't mind. When we hear it on the
streets and we held it in our hearts. You made us what we hated and
you tore us all apart! So here's to our past... from the bottom of
our glass that tilted, spilled, hit the floor, then smashed. So here's
to our past... from the bottom of our glass that tilted, spilled, hit the
floor, then smashed. So here's to our past... from the bottom of
our glass that tilted, spilled, hit the floor, then smashed. So here's
to our past... from the bottom of our glass that tilted, spilled, hit the
floor, then...
Shovel
I'm stuck here on the outside, but I'm trying to
get back in. I don't know what I'm looking for and I'm not sure of
who I am. It's my second time through suicide, but I've been fighting
it with my friends. I'm stuck inside this shell of mine, cause I
know no other way. And this time I'm stuck on the outside.
No chance. Nothing worth fighting for. And I hope I find what
I'm looking for. And this time I'm stuck on the outside. No
chance. Nothing worth fighting for. I hope I find what I'm
looking for. I'm stuck here on the outside, but I'm trying to get
back in. I don't know what I'm looking for and I'm not sure of who
I am. And this time I'm stuck on the outside. No chance.
Nothing worth fighting for. I hope I find what I'm looking for.
And this time I'm stuck on the outside. No chance. Nothing
worth fighting for. I hope I find what I'm looking for. And
this time I'm stuck on the outside. No chance. Nothing worth
fighting for. I hope I find what I'm looking for. And this
time I'm stuck on the outside. No chance. Nothing worth fighting
for. I hope I find what I'm looking for... what I'm looking for.
Vengeance
What ever happened to days when the rain came?
Well strike up a match and we will light up the sun. Here we go again,
sing the same old rotten love songs that we just couldn't get through yesterday.
I know I haven't been around too much lately, but I know that you have
just changed the same. It's bitter tongues to the bitter end.
I'll never see my home again. So leave me on the side of the road
to die. You take the high road and I'll take the low. Strength
comes in numbers as far as we go. Vengeance is my own. The
promises you break only make me much stronger, and nothing keeps me warm
like a hot summer day. I'll scream through my rib cage to get through
this blank page. It's hard to go on with no fuel and no fire.
I know I haven't been around too much lately, but I know that you have
just changed the same. It's bitter tongues to the bitter end.

Haywire
Talking to a friend of mine the other day.
He said, "I don't know what I'm doing. Man, I got nowhere to stay."
I said, "My doors always open. So brother dry your eyes." You
wanna be a free man you gotta pass the tide. You gotta be a prisoner
of your own free will, but there will never be the freedom when you gotta
pay the bill. We'll I swing a hammer all day long, but when I wake
up in the morning... And I don't know what's become of us at all.
Everything went haywire and I'm walking on the fault. And I don't
know what's become of us at all. Everything went haywire and I'm
walking... Talking to a friend of mine the other day. He said,
"I don't know what I'm doing. Man, I got nowhere to stay."
I said, "My doors always open. So brother dry your eyes. Take
off your hat and come inside." You gotta be a prisoner of your own
free will, but there will never be the freedom when you gotta pay the bill.
We'll I swing a hammer all day long, but when I wake up in the morning...
And I don't know what's become of us at all. Everything went haywire
and I'm walking on the fault. And I don't know what's become of us
at all. Everything went haywire and I'm walking... You can't
believe your children. You can't believe your wife. You can't
take the credit for fucking up your life. And people don't believe
me when I tell them I'm alive. They see me walking so slowly... they
think untill I die. And I don't know what's become of us at all.
Everything went haywire and I'm walking on the fault. And I don't
know what's become of us at all. Everything went haywire and I'm
walking...
Cast No Shadows
I sit here alone, on another cold day, as I look
to my plate and I hope and I pray. And I sink... I fall to the bottle
again. And it breaks my fall as it chips my teeth. And I fall
through the table and a balance breaks. And I know that nothing's
gonna change. And I lay here broken by the wave. And I cast
no shadows where I lay. And I'm bruised and beaten by the wind.
And I've lost all I have to give. It cuts to the quick and it breaks
the bones. And I've played by the rules and I've broke a few.
And I know something's got to change. I throw in the towel and the
bottle breaks. And I fall to the ground and your body quakes.
And I know... but nothing's going to change. And I lay here broken
by the wave. And I cast no shadows where I lay. And I stand
here beaten by the wind. And I've lost all I've have to give... that
I give. And I know... I know I stand alone. And when I know...
I know I stand alone. And I pray my soul is there to take.
And I know... I know I stand alone... I stand alone. I sit here alone,
on another cold day, and I look to my plate and I hope and I pray.
And I sink... I fall to the bottle again. And I lay here broken by
the wave. And I cast no shadows where I lay. And I stand here
beaten by the wind. And I've lost all I've have to give. And
I lay here broken by the wave. And I cast no shadows where I lay.
And I stand here beaten by the wind. And I've lost all I've have
to give... and I wait...
FM
We'll always have the radio blasting out the songs
that we sang long ago. There was a time when I tried to believe that
there was something left inside for me. Way to go (whoa oh).
And I was told, (whoa oh) "You'll always have the radio." (whoa oh)
Sometimes I wish it wasn't so. We'll always have the radio.
Small town and no place to go... when I lose myself in the radio song.
We'll always have the radio. Small town and no place to go... when
I lose myself in the radio song. We'll always have the stars above,
shining in the night, the skies when I'm alone. There was a time

to go (whoa oh). And I was told, (whoa oh) "You'll always have the

Radio Sad Song
Everday's just a little bit better then the one
before. As we come down a dark, lonely highway knocking on my hometown's
door. Then I pull up to my house and the lights are down. I
always get this feeling when I come around. Radio play a sad, sad
song. Radio play something I can drive home to... for me and you.
Radio play a sad, sad song. Radio play something I can drive home
to... for me and you. Seen a lot of places. Done a lot of things.
Most of them I'm not very proud of, but a man can dream. And now
that I'm getting older, older all the time. I can move on from here
now. Leave my past behind. Radio play a sad, sad song.
Radio play something I can drive home to... for me and you. Radio
play a sad, sad song. Radio play something I can drive home to...
for me and you. Radio play a sad, sad song. Radio play something
I can drive home to... for me and you. You can work with your hands
or sing from your heart. Try to be a superman... might get the part.
Sometimes when I wake up I can do it all. I may lay down, but I will
never fall. Radio play a sad, sad song. Radio play something
I can drive home to... for me and you. Radio play a sad, sad song.
Radio play something I can drive home to... for me and you. Radio
play a sad, sad song. Radio play something I can drive home to...
for me and you.
Erica
Erica's dying of her broken heart disease.
She's running from herself. She's running through the trees.
She's tired of herself. She's tired of this town. When she's
gone you know she won't come back around. And I don't know if she
can take it. I don't know if we will make it. I don't know
if she'll come back to me. She's my Erica. She's gonna catch
a train. She's going to a place that don't cause her so much pain.
She's tired of herself. She's tired of this town. When she's
gone she won't come back around. And I don't know if she can take
it. I don't know if we will make it. I don't know if she'll
come back to me. And I don't know if she can take it. I don't
know if we will make it. I don't know if she'll come back to me.
She's my Erica. Erica's dying of her broken heart disease.
She's running from herself. She's running through the trees.
She's tired of herself. She's tired of this town. When she's
gone she says she won't come back around. And I don't know if she
can take it. I don't know if we will make it. I don't know
if she'll come back to me. And I don't know if she can take it.
I don't know if we will make it. I don't know if she'll come back
to me. She's my Erica.
Broadway
Outside, just an hour ago, I see it on the corner
and the city below. Inside, you know we're all alone. But we
all need a place to go. I seen it on the corner and the avenue outside.
You know we're on our own. We're running down Broadway. And
there's no place I'd rather be when I sing a song about the city.
Tonight, I leave the lights behind. You know it's lost inside.
And you know I'm right. We leave the city behind. Outside,
in the city below, I've seen it on the corner and I know it's lost inside.
We know we're on our own. But we all need a place to go. And
I've seen it on the corner and the avenue outside. You know I find
our home. We're running down Broadway. And there's no place
I'd rather be when I sing a song about the city. Tonight, I leave
the lights behind. You know it's lost inside. And you know
I'm right. And inside, you know I'm right. We leave the city
behind. We're running down Broadway. And there's no place I'd
rather be when I sing a song about the city. Tonight, I leave the
lights behind. You know it's lost inside. And you know I'm
right. And inside, you know I'm right. We leave the city behind...
behind... behind.
Wave Of Destruction
Break the mold from where we're made. Cast
no stones. And to this day it bowls me over. Bound and blind
by the lies. Empty hands and empty minds. It brings me over...
as I lay and I wait for the wave of destruction... as I lay and I wait
for the wave of destruction. Kill the blinds. Do or die.
Fall apart but don't ask why. Just give it over. Little hands,
broken hands. Will they ever understand? Just knock it over...
as I lay and I wait for the wave of destruction... as I lay and I wait
for the wave of destruction. Break the mold from where we're made.
Cast no stones. And to this day it bowls me over. Bound and
blind by the lies. Empty hands and empty minds. It brings me
over... as I lay and I wait for the wave of destruction... as I lay and
I wait for the wave of destruction. And here we go again. And
I lay... and I wait... and I bruise... and I break. And I lay...
and I wait... and I bruise... and I break. And I lay... and I wait...
and I bruise... and I break for the wave of destruction.
Forever Family
Searching my mind for something to say. The
sun's coming up from a three state drive. 14,000 miles and nothing
less than sympathy. I know we'll make it. I know we'll survive.
Some might say we'll amount to nothing. But hey man, let me tell
you something. At least we're still fighting for something we really
believe. And I know that I can go on and on and on. So let
it be known... we're strong, we're stuck together forever. And let
it be me who takes you to the water's edge. Forever family!
We're young, we're strong, and we're together. And let it be me who
takes you to the water's edge. Forever family! Staring out
the window on the west side of Cleveland. The glass girl comes.
You know we got to beat 'em. Another cup of coffee to get us through
this mess. I still remember you in the red dress. Some might
say we'll amount to nothing. But hey man, let me tell you something.
At least we're still fighting for something we really believe. And
I know that I can go on and on and on. So let it be known... we're
strong, we're stuck together forever. And let it be me who takes
you to the water's edge. Forever family! We're young, we're
strong, and we're together. And let it be me who takes you to the
water's edge. Forever family! Searching my mind for something
to say. The sun's coming up from a three state drive. 14,000
miles and nothing less than sympathy. I know we'll make it.
I know we'll survive. So let it be known... we're strong, we're stuck
together forever. And let it be me who takes you to the water's edge.
Forever family! We're young, we're strong, and we're together.
And let it be me who takes you to the water's edge. Forever family!
Long Distance
Long distance last goodbye. We can't give
it one last try. It's all over, we didn't even cry. All I know
is the world came between us and the love got left behind. No news
flash, funeral, half mast flags on the day that our love died. And
I'd tell you face to face if I could look you in the eye. So I just
called to say, "goodbye." Did you burn my pictures yet? Anything
to try and forget. It's all I can do just to stay on the line.
All I know is the world came between us and the love got left behind.
No news flash, funeral, half mast flags on the day that our love died.
And I'd tell you face to face if I could look you in the eye. So
I just called to say, "goodbye." We both know how hard it is for
both of us to try. And we both know how hard it is in Richmond in
July. So what am I supposed to say? And how's the weather anyway?
This time I called to say goodbye. Who'd thought it would end like
this? With out even a good bye kiss. No one can say we didn't
try. All I know is the world came between us and the love got left
behind. No news flash, funeral, half mast flags on the day that our
love died. And I'd tell you face to face if I could look you in the
eye. So I just called to say... there's nothing really left to say...
this time I called to say, "goodbye." This time I called to say,
"goodbye."
