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.  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.  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.  Here we go again, sing the same old rotten love songs that we just couldn't get through yesterday.  You take the high road and I'll take the low.  Strength comes in numbers as far as we go.  And you take the high road and I'll take the low.  Strength comes in numbers as far as we go.  Vengeance is my own.

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 when I tried to believe there was something left inside of 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 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 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.  And I lose myself in the radio... I lose myself in the radio... I lose myself in the radio song.  Radio...

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."
