Protest Song #00
Well somethings never change... You'll never
see this face again, I'm out sleeping with the stars in the shallow end.
'Life' ('love') is just a word i dont want to say, I don't care if tomorrow
is a new day. I'll write the song again, How about the one who thought
life wasn't his friend? Why would he want the words to be shared?
When no one listens, and no one cares. I'd skip this fucking song
if you don't want to know whats fucking wrong. Did you hear my acceptance
speech?: "I quit. I quit. i fucking quit." You don't want to know
why i can't quit talk. You don't want to know what makes my heart
stop. You wrote my requiem with no words, no life, just desperation.
There's no truth like the lie I live I'm a sinking ship drowning by a burning
bridge. There's no cure for the "Dreamer's Disease" I'm a boat of
false hope, lost at sea. Today, tonight, tomorrow, I am truly by
myself. you don't want to know why I cant quite talk. you dont
want to know what makes my heart stop. You say those fucking words,
but what the fuck do they mean? Nothing. Life is just a word that
i wont say. Love is just a word that I'll never know. Life
is just a game that i wont play. Love is just a lie that I wont believe.
Sore Throat Syndrome
Fuck What Fireworks Stand For
The Ice Age Is Coming
Please Die!
The Day The Music Died
Never thought the world was going to end...
Always knew I'd come across your face again. Still healing broken
hearts and holding broken bones... Singing "Taps" off-key and breaking
quiet phones... You dont know what youve got until you're left all
alone. See the strain in my bloodshot eyes? I'm a hollow box,
empty as your lies... And i know i cant live, because the price that
i pay will be the love that i give. Nothing hurts like that look
in your eyes Fuck the day i thought love was more than a lie I only die
every day Sit alone count the "no's" of the yesterdays... Those seven
days sure made me weak and when im dead and gone(shed a tear, bless my
memory) but i cant go on... All i want in these dying days is a breath
of fresh air, and some sanity But nothings ever good enough, so i'll take
a sad song sure enough... The feeling im feeling is a feeling Ive
felt for far too long... The feeling im feeling is a feeling ive
fought for far too long.
Farewell
Whatever this becomes, Whatever words i say we
are the fortunate ones, And when the days are done I wont forget.
All i see in you and me, is a light in the dark of humanity... And
when the days are done, i wont forget... Timid steps, come walk with
me. And with your useless words, come talk to me. There are
broken hearts now on your stereo, but the broken beats are just too slow...
You'll cry, it doesnt change a thing. Kill the lights and let the
rain fall... Recall the memories of yesterdays and better ways And
know the innocence is gone, move on. From this day on we'll never
be the same. The saddest songs make sense to me, so with your sunken
eyes come look for me. 2 hour drives are 2 hours alone but 2 hour
drives are better than home You'll die, it doesnt change a thing Faster
Words and faster kids Faster Songs and faster ends the one thing thats
stayed the same... I've lived through days And I've lived through
nights I've had my loves and i've had my fights... Youve got to know,
you have my heart...
There's A Black Hole In The Shadow Of The Pru
Everyone I ever loved went down in history... The
blue eyes came, the brown eyes left, and the rest is misery. Dreams are
trash on the side of the road. All starry eyed, tongue all tied, theres
somethings you should know... I could have died with you. And boston is
the reason that I'm feeling so blue, damn you. City lights and colder nights,
im innocent(minus the fights) Praying out loud for a Winter of Quiet. Friday
Nights are killing me. I fall asleep, pen in hand, theres somethings you
should know. i could have died with you. And Boston is the reason that
Im feeling so blue. Cities arent a way to cure a disease... And I dont
even know why you listen to me... a Razor-Wristed kid looking forward to
ends... If love was a bridge, you'd be the one in The Fens. "All the kids
are fucking dead." I write, "With love, and a gun to my head." These days
arent gonna last too long(i know, i know, i know...) Im drawing words from
a tired heart. Im drawing blood from a tired heart.
Hearts
Dear Eastern Prom, I know its wrong... But its
suicide eyes that wrote this song. For all I'm worth, writer's block is
a bitch. Words falling like bricks for a New england wish. I was an easy
male fuck in the town of "Naive-ity" All I wanted was a shot in the dark,
but like a knife through the heart, I choke on spit covered words... Oh
my god, its happened again. Screaming gets you nothing. One more night
in this town and I swear that i'm dead. I drew a heart around the name
of your city.
I've Shared Your Lips So Now They Sicken Me
Fuck. A great word for a great world. Like each
clue, just not getting through... I spoke to you in yawns, with sweaty
palms, With kids swearing forever, and then theyre gone. Nobodys got style
like us. And we could be friends like before i was crazy... Before i met
her, before i went lazy. Fuck these memories.
Dead And Gone (The Trouble cover song)
It's The Limit (Cro-Mags cover song)
Why you messing around with me Pushin me around
Values changing But I can't get caught in it today We won't lose with what
we've got Cause we'll just sit and watch it all rot Keep your ideas But
keep your distance from me Keep off my back cause the things you do I don't
wanna see I don't wanna see Wanna see how far I can go Test my patience
see what I know Just not happy with nothing to do Getting bold when there's
more than two.
Kick Out The Jams (MC5 cover song)
Shoplifting In A Ghost Town (live on the bbc)
i've never seen so many stars (and i'm never gonna
see them again). i've never known such perfection (and i'm never
gonna know it again). i've never felt so at home (and i'm never gonna
feel it again). i want to open these veins and never breathe again.
because the beauty is dead... since february '79. i've O.D.'ed on
"lonesome" 22 times (but who's counting?). you'd think by now...
you would've died. i'm sorry girls... i tried (scream these words
to me). if imperfections are illegal then you should call the cops.
and they should lock me up. you're such a slave to the crying game
(scream these words to me). we'll die alone. picture me in
brighter days with smiles on my innocent face (did you forget me?)
i only wanted to be loved. i only wanted to be in love (scream these
words to me). if imperfections are illegal then you should call the
cops. and they should lock me up. you're such a slave to the
crying game (scream these words to me). we'll die alone. could
you love a face full of tears soaked in song? i can't decide... i
don't know if its worse to live or die. i am stuck on "never enough"
and the corner of "never again". here is a hint... don't call someone
who just sits by the phone. leave them alone. i loved the first
few days but its no fun playing a game. you always lose. i
couldn't talk to save my life. i couldn't talk to save my life.
am/pm (live on the bbc)
i was counting the good things about this city.
the only good thing is you are not here. when you're around it makes
it hard to be what i need to be. i was trying to breathe. i
was dying to breathe. i was hoping i'd never have to write this song
again. the kind of song that makes you want to hang your headached
head. and i was hoping that i would never fall in love again cause
that would be the end of everything (you're everything). my parents
fell in love and all i got was life. and all i ever wanted was to
not be alone. i've been wearing this new outfit called "quit while
you're ahead". your smiles the end. your eyes are the end.
i was hoping i'd never have to write this song again. the kind of
song that makes you want to hang your headached head. and i was hoping
that i would never fall in love again cause that would be the end of everything
(you're everything). just hang your head. just close your eyes.
just hide your heart. hide your heart. i believe that when
i'm gone my love will live in song. this is not where i wanted to
be. i wanted to be. i believe that when i'm gone my love will
live in song. this is not the life i wanted to live. i wanted
to live.
