1.White Crosses
I wake up in the morning
And I drink from the fountain
I wake up in the morning
With the same unanswered questions
I don't know
What's gonna cure my unsettled stomach
Street kids collect spare change
In a conch shell on the sidewalk
Their teeth are yellow
Their hair is tangled
Their minds are vapid
And they laugh wild in their depravity
I make my way back home to you
Head north on St. Marco Avenue
White crosses on the church lawn
I want to smash them all
I want to smash them all
Ponytails swinging back and forth
Behind beach blonde college girls out for a jog
St. Augustine, shine your light down on me
Pop hits from the nineties
Echo out of tourist filled bars
I'm met with arms crossed under dirty looks
I am treated like a common thief
I make my way back home to you
Head north on St. Marco Avenue
White crosses on the church lawn
I want to smash them all
I want to smash them all
I want to smash them all
Eavesdropping in on conversations
I wander aimless, leering at strangers
Strung out on the amphetamines that you gave to me
Eyeballed with suspicion by a pencil skirt in high heels
You realize that you're talking to yourself
Cannon fire explodes out over the bay
I make my way back home to you
Head north on St. Marco Avenue
White crosses on the church lawn
I want to smash them all
Looking for context and perspective
Looking for some kind of distraction
White crosses on the church lawn
I want to smash them all
I want to smash them all
I want to smash them all
I want to smash them all
I want to smash them all
2.I Was A Teenage Anarchist
I was a teenage anarchist
Looking for a revolution
I had the style, I had the ambition
Read all the authors, I knew the right slogans
There was no war but the class war
I was ready to set the world on fire
I was a teenage anarchist
Looking for a revolution
Do you remember when you were young
And you wanted to set the world on fire
Do you remember when you were young
And you wanted to set the world on fire
I was a teenage anarchist
But the politics were too convenient
In the depths of their humanity
All I saw was bloodless ideology
With freedom as their doctrine
Guess who was the new authority
I was a teenage anarchist
But the politics were too convenient
Do you remember when you were young
And you wanted to set the world on fire
Do you remember when you were young
And you wanted to set the world on fire
When you were young
And you wanted to set the world on fire
I was a teenage anarchist
But then the scene got too rigid
It was mob mentality
They set their rifle sights on me
Narrow visions of autonomy
You want me to surrender my identity
I was a teenage anarchist
The revolution was lie
Do you remember when you were young
And you wanted to set the world on fire
Do you remember when you were young
And you wanted to set the world on fire
When you were young
And you wanted to set the world the fire
When you were young
And you wanted to set the world the fire
I was a teenage anarchist
I was a teenage anarchist
I was a teenage anarchist
I was a teenage anarchist
3.Because Of The Shame
We used to get high together
Instead of getting high alone
Can't remember the last time I saw you
Can't remember the last time we talked
You left home for a fresh start
Working as a waitress down in Bradenton
With my name tatooed into your skin
Because of the shame I associate with vulnerability
I am numbing myself completely
Can you hear me right now
I watched your mother bury you today
With tears in her eyes
It wasn't her words that shook me
But the resemblence you shared
Don't it seem so detached and unreal
Don't it seem so far away
Like the past never happened
Like nothing's ever changed
With your casket open in front of me
Your eyes closed and your lips silent
My name tatooed into your skin
Because of the shame I associate with vulnerability
I am numbing myself completely
Can you hear me right now
I watched your mother bury you today
With tears in her eyes
It wasn't her words that shook me
But the resemblence you shared
Didn't listen to the preacher
Couldn't look your husband in the eye
I'm not sure what I meant to you then
So I'm not sure what I owe you now
But if something I said hurt you
I swear it was not my intention
With your name tatooed into my skin
With your name tatooed into my skin
Because of the shame I associate with vulnerability
I am numbing myself completely
Can you hear me right now
I watched your mother bury you today
With tears in her eyes
It wasn't her words that shook me
But the resemblence you shared
It wasn't her words that shook me
But the resemblence you shared
Can you hear me right now
Can you hear me right now
4.Suffocation
We were young heartbreakers
Estranged from the wealthy parents
Doing key bumps in the handicap bathroom
Stoned, complacent, ambivalent
Mass communicating with shared subconcious
Suffocation
Modern life in the western world
Suffocation
Modern life in the western world
Suffocation
Modern life in the western world
Suffocation
Modern life in the western world
The western world
Homosexual sons of unfulfilled fathers
Divorced from reality, free and young
We were bashing our brains out on a kitchen cabinet
It was televised crucifixion
Suffocation
Modern life in the western world
Suffocation
Modern life in the western world
Suffocation
Modern life in the western world
Suffocation
Modern life in the western world
The western world
In the western world
In the western world
We were star crossed
We were destitute
Our words spoke mass destruction
We watched the sun rise in the morning
Daughters in arm, we all are orphans
Suffocation
Modern life in the western world
Suffocation
Modern life in the western world
Suffocation
Modern life in the western world
Suffocation
Modern life in the western world
The western world
The western world
In the western world
5.We're Breaking Up
This is the only voice I know
These are the only words I have
This is the only way I know how to say
We're not in love anymore
And it's the same way
That it's always been
The dynamic to the relationship never changes
And it's the same way
That it's always been
The dynamic to the relationship never changes
We used to like all the same bands
We used to have all the same friends
What do we have left in common
Just shared memories of good times
Long since passed
Long since passed
And it's the same way
That it's always been
The dynamic to the relationship never changes
And it's the same way
That it's always been
The dynamic to the relationship never changes
You can't get what you want from me
And I can't get what I need from you
This is the only voice I know
These are the only words I have
This is the only I can say
We're breaking up
And it's the same way
That it's always been
The same way
That it's always been
I'm not giving up on us
I'm not giving up on us
6.High Pressure Low
There was a high pressure low
Developing off the coast of Africa
Uplift in the atmosphere
Push waves across the ocean
Towards Antilles and Bon Air
While I paced in agitation
I drew the curtains closed
I set the air conditioner low
I pressed a warm wash cloth to my face
Somewhere out there a hurricane is coming
There's just no future left for us to dream of
Living in an era of instability
So caught up in the culture of their rivals
Fear breeds in honest men
It's a high pressure low
It's a high pressure low
Seven missiles flying over the sea of Japan
Tales of feral children
Sleeping in wolf dens
And the pious preacher commands
I hold my breath in anticipation
Into the shelter of the jungle noble savages run
Vestal virgins triumph over lifelong inhibitions
And I wonder what is real
What is fiction
There's just no future left for us to dream of
Living in an era of instability
So caught up in the culture of their rivals
Fear breeds in honest men
It's a high pressure low
It's a high pressure low
Would anyone forgive Robert McNamara
In retrospect he had to admit
There was mistake in going to war
Without first asking all the questions
Yes, Robert Strange McNamara
There are those who just cannot forget
And I wonder have I lost my own compassion
There's just no future left for us to dream of
Living in an era of instability
So caught up in the culture of their rivals
They're breaching honest men
It's a high pressure low
It's a high pressure low
It's a high pressure low
It's a high pressure low
7.Ache With Me
I've walked down high streets
Looking through windows
I've been lost in a crowd of strangers
Searched record shops and cosmetic isles
Phone books, want ads, bus stops, and libraries
Newspaper headlines, mannequin faces
Television stations, billboard advertisements
Your voice echoes in the back of my mind
I see your face when I close my eyes
Do you share the same sense of defeat
Have you realized all the things you'll never be
Ideals turn to resentment
Open minds closed up with cynicism
I've got no judgement for you
Come on and ache with me
Come on and ache with me
Through bar rooms, cafes, jail cells, and courtrooms
Theaters, restaraunts, graveyards, and churches
I've spent every dollar that I've ever earned
I'll bleed my heart out, I'll give every wound
I've asked preachers, doctors, and lawyers
Socialites, pariahs, mothers, and fathers
You may not find all that you're after
In the end, I hope it doesn't matter
Do you share the same sense of defeat
Have you realized all the things you'll never be
Ideals turn to resentment
Open minds closed up with cynicism
I've got no judgement for you
Come on and ache with me
Do you share the same sense of defeat
Have you realized all the things you'll never be
I've got no judgement for you
Come on and ache with me
Come on and ache with me
Come on and ache with me
8.Spanish Moss
You just need to find
Some place to get away
You can forget your name
And there's no need to apologize
Apologize
It could be a good life
It could be such a very good life
We could find a place for just me and you
Need some place to stay safe
Need some place to stay safe and warm
Why don't we deserve the same
You just need to find
Some place to get away
You can forget your name
And there's no need to apologize
You just need to find
Some place to get away
You can forget your name
And there's no need to apologize
Look into the Spanish moss
Let your mind conjure up old ghosts
Ride your bike through lost Florida streets
Everything we've said and done
Can be so easily forgotten
You can always change who you are
You just need to find
Some place to get away
You can forget your name
And there's no need to apologize
You just need to find
Some place to get away
You can forget your name
And there's no need to apologize
Apologize
I try to lift up this
It can be such a very good life
We could find a place for just me and you
But it's not yours to keep
Yeah, the truth will tear your heart out
In a world run by gangs
Just you stuck standing in a bread line
Stuck standing in a bread line
Stuck standing
You just need to find
Some place to get away
You can forget your name
And there's no need to apologize
You just need to find
Some place to get away
You can forget your name
And there's no need to apologize
Apologize, apologize
9.Rapid Decompression
How much is too much
I'm tired of predicting to lose
But before you point your finger
Before you cast your stones
Take a look at yourself
How can you expect from someone
What you won't do yourself
There's no bottom to your reality
Your desperation is utter and complete
What you can't learn about yourself
You have to steal from someone else
And what you can't steal
What you can't steal, you have to deny
Rapid decompression
Sometimes it feels
Sometimes it feels
Like the whole world's coming to an end
10.Bamboo Bones
Don't let them break you
Don't let them tell you who you are
Doesn't matter where you come from
You always have a floor to sleep on
And you have your bamboo bones
Nervous energy, blind ambition
Skin of your teeth
Push back, push back
Push back with every word and every breath
What God doesn't give to you
You've got to go get for yourself
What God doesn't give to you
You've got to go get for yourself
What God doesn't give to you
You've got to take it for yourself
I'm embarrased to admit it
I've got no grip
I'm leading with my jaw
Can you see it from a distance
Does it look ridiculous
I guess that's just what I have to live with
Still I have a mind to think
Knees to break
You standing beside me
Gonna push back, push back
Push back with every word and every breath
What God doesn't give to you
You've got to go get for yourself
What God doesn't give to you
You've got to go get for yourself
What God doesn't give to you
You've got to take it for yourself
For yourself
What God doesn't give to you
What God doesn't give to you
What God doesn't give to you
What God doesn't give to you
What God doesn't give to you
You've got to go get for yourself
For yourself
11.One By One
I feel the ground moving under my feet,
all I know is where I don't belong.
I'm not interested in sticking around
just for the sake of a good time.
Houses rotting from the the inside out
and everybody's pissed out of their fucking minds.
Are you seriously talking to me about community？
One by one, shoot off my fingers one by one.
Where do we go from here？ Where do we go from here？
When the rebels lose the spirit of rebellion.
You've got nowhere left to go.
But I know I'm not alone.
You've got nowhere left to go.
But I know I'm not alone.
We are defined by what we stand
against and the weight of unfulfilled expectations.
This culture that threatens to engulf you,
is this anyway to go about fighting it？
I don't want to be born again,
I don't need anybody to speak for me.
I'm not interested in humoring illusions
or apologizing for the sake of sentiment.
One by one, shoot off my fingers one by one.
Where do we go from here？ Where do we go from here？
When the rebels lose the spirit of rebellion.
You've got nowhere left to go.
But I know I'm not alone.
You've got nowhere left to go.
But I know I'm not alone.
12.Bob Dylan Dream
13.Lehigh Acres
14.Bitter Divisions
Transcendent fear in the 21st century.
Lost in psychic dire straights.
With our enemies decided and our battlefields celebrated,
'we walk with faith not sight'.
How can we heal these bitter divisions？
How can we overcome our mutual distrust？
How can we heal these bitter divisions？
How can we reconcile our differences？
Mass hysteria in an age of delusion.
Intellectualism surrenders to ineptitude.
No love lost, no love gained, no common understanding.
Head strong and determined, self obsessed with calloused
indifference.
How can we heal these bitter divisions？
How can we overcome our mutual distrust？
How can we heal these bitter divisions？
How can we reconcile our differences？
How can we heal these bitter divisions？
How can we overcome our mutual distrust？
How can we heal these bitter divisions？
How can we reconcile our differences？
