1.Greetings In Braille
If my senses fail, stay with me 'til they go cause I don't wanna
be alone.
Greetings in Braille, they'll describe everything, colors aren't
everything.
And if you see me, down at the liquor store, please don't tell
my dad.
And if you see my dad, down at the liquor store, don't tell me
anything at all.
And the people you brought were just drainpipes bringing trash
to the ground.
And your memories are just picture cards, one night stands and
breakdowns.
And you were cold, tired and old as you'd ever looked that
night.
And we were warned, yeah. We were warned not to stay out too
late.
But somethings were worth getting in trouble for.
So now that you finally failed
just like you said you would, down to the last detail.
Well if living's such hell,
here's to your dying days. You won't have to be afraid.
And the heroes you met were just fiction,
yeah, with high expectations.
And your friends grew up faster than you got successful,
told you to keep up. Good comes to those who work.
And the stories they told you were true, babe.
Your mom really went crazy.
But that doesn't have to be you.
No.
And I miss Tara and Melissa, Allen and John.
And you'll never have friends like you did when you were young.
But our bodies were pulled away and swept out to the sea
And I'd call and say hi if I thought you'd remember me
cause somethings are worth leaving old memories for.
If my senses fail, stay with me 'til they go cause I don't wanna
be alone.
Greetings in Braille, should describe everything
'cause you can't see anything from here.
From here, you can't see nothing at all
2.My Baby's A Dick
You got your chin pointed down.
Yeah, you look at the ground when you talk.
And I'm listening babe but you think I'm not.
And this is taking too long and when you gone I don't think I'll
miss you.
But something in me, won't forgive you.
And girl, you've got some explaining to do.
'Cause it seems that you miss me now that we're through.
I got this problem.
And it never sleeps even when I do.
And I'm glad that you miss me now that we're through.
And it's late in the game. You got to improve.
And I'm starting to miss you now that we're though.
mmm
And you wait for the day to come and make use of all this time
And your empty life.
And it's hot where you live and you hide from it and all the
things you
Did and the lie you hid.
You.
You can run, run, run.
But I'll be running next to you
3.A Time For Emily
Well, you've seen all that you came for.
It didn't help you at all.
Watch as I break rank and dissolve.
Emily, why don't you miss me？
You hung around for so long.
But I got no friends and you got no resolve.
Was it so long ago？
You asked me to stay behind.
You said I didn't care at all.
Was it so long ago？
I asked you to stay beside me all through the years.
The death of this mess finally came around with no relief this
year.
Congratulations you just fucking disappeared
4.Don't Get Your Hopes Up
Do you think you could？ I wish you would.
Take me with you. 'Cause I've been good.
I stayed well dressed and kept my big mouth shut.
And all the nights we shared. They never went nowhere.
But they must have meant something. Well, I had my share.
But now you left me with all the lunatics up there.
And on the way you'll stop on by and say the words that make you
cry like I could never mean a thing to you.
And if it's true, then let me die.
Whistle
Cause I'm right here, babe.
I got a plan to put an end to all your fears.
And on the way I'll stop on by and show you what I got in my
heart,
you know I never lost my nerve.
And if you change your mind in time,
I'll make it clear that I'm still here.
It seems as though I'm never gonna learn.
I'll just keep hoping that it's my turn
5.Waves (The Time That You're Awake)
Waves roll on by. Waves roll on by.
Waves roll on by. Waves roll on by.
Life, pass on by. Life, pass on by.
By the time you try, you go and die.
And the wind is at our backs. No need to hurry back.
Just stay on the track, keeping the wind at our backs.
You're only worth one wish that you'll probably never make.
You're just making the least babe, of the time that you're
awake.
You can see the trouble before it comes.
Why don't you just go and cast it out？
But you've always been hard.
Well, I've always been had.
Yeah, I've always been had.
Yeah, I've always been had.
Maybe it's not so bad.
I just know when puddles form I don't stay inside and let it
pour.
There's better forecasts for me.
And I'll let the rain roll off my back.
And if you've always been sad, maybe it's not so bad.
And years amount to bank accounts and all is well on all
accounts.
And finally they set you free yeah, all expenses paid.
You never had a chance, they always taught you bad.
The only life you had was the one you made.
You're only worth on wish that you'll probably never make.
You only get one change that you know you'll never take.
And the dream that's in your heart and how it sleeps when you're
awake.
You never lived a day.
But you swear on your mother's grave like
you swore this time you'd stay.
You're making the most of the time that you're awake
6.The Miles 'Til Home
You finally chased the rest of them away.
You finally chased the rest of them away.
You finally chased the rest of them away.
You finally chased the rest of them away.
And the weak ones were the ones that stayed.
And the place they held before you came changed but they acted
just the same.
And the names that carried so much fait drained your tired mind.
And the best one stayed behind,
Watching out for open road,
Counting all the miles 'til home.
And it seems you leaned on the wrong guy.
And it hurt the place you...
Held, you held within your heart.
It got erased and where it was has now gone dark.
So you left. You left without a trace. And you
Never, no you never, no you never, no you never came back
'til the last ones forgot your name.
Don't change your mind tonight.
Caught along the open road,
Counting all the miles 'til home, and it seems
You dreamed on the wrong sky.
You gave your last request to a firing line and you said
It doesn't matter what you do, babe.
You always feel it chasin' you and it blocks the sun from the
sky.
You just wish you had more time.
You say you never win. I say that's a lie
7.Go On
Well, did you do something for yourself, Mom？
And get the hell out of the house.
Well, would you do something for your son, Mom？
And stop taking all these pills.
'Cause it's cold in December and there's reason to stay in
and I want to see you when you're on the deck of that ship.
Yeah, you're sailing away and the sun looks right on your face.
Without a reason to beleive in something, you can do most
anything.
Well, that's what you told me someplace, but I can't remember
when.
It was a long time ago, maybe the first day of school or going
to visit Dad.
I was scared but you told I'd come home if I wanted. I was only
nine but I went.
So, go on and make your families proud just like you always do.
Just like they want you to.
My old girlfriend's studing medicine. Would you save my life if
I got sick？
Haven't seen you in a while. How have you been？ Of course if you
have the right
insurance for it. And I think if we got back together again, you
know,
give it a run, you know.
You were my first love. You're very drunk and we were very
young.
Plus I'm going to see this guy and it might be love.
Yeah, I think he might be the one.
If you get married can I come？ I gotta see this.
Well, go on and dig your holes in this ground.
Yeah, go on and lay your tired bodies down.
Just like you're going to. Just like they expect you to.
And I've been thinking about moving away.
Now that we've had this talk, I definitely may.
Well, now go on and break your word and it'll break me down.
And I'll go on and I'll break every last thing in this house.
Just like I'm going to. Just like you expect me to.
Now go on and make your family proud.
Now go on and stake your claim to this ground.
Now go on and take that last dream down and it'll get you
through.
What did they put you through？
8.C'mon, Mom
C'mon, mom.
I'm so scared.
All you things you told me are coming true.
C'mon, now.
I'm too young to feel this tired.
Sorry you ran out of money so soon.
And drifting on the open sea won't get you there this time.
C'mon, friends.
Let's make those repairs.
It's your heart that's broken not your legs
And there's a fight to get into somewhere.
It's cool inside.
A friendly place to hide.
And it's a bad rain today to let's try not to speak of old
times.
And it's a long shot but I'm looking for the good.
Just like you told me to do but I'm told it takes practice to
improve.
You're a fucking liar and I'm leaving.
And you can keep all the friends that you made through me.
I'm lying too, I can't leave home alone.
I'd rather cut all these losses and not take another bet for a
bright
New fucking day.
Let's shout from on hight, we're still failing. We still got
more regrets
Than mistakes. It takes focus at this level of failing.
But at least your friends can relate.
So write or call or just think of us from time to time.
I'll still be drifting. But he was so gifted. Fair enough
9.A Response To Greed
At first it seems like a bad dream and you can't claw your way
out.
And the plea that you make so you could escape
Isn't answered but you'll figure it out.
And all of the nightmares you based your life all around are now
coming true.
And it's love or it's need, your response to greed.
Find a reason, count yourself out.
And in bed where you lay or you'll drink it away.
Anyways, to just draw this thing out.
And that's just the trouble with long term goals and dreams.
They're always being revised.
But my sister still cuts her arms and my brother's still at the
garage.
And we've given all that we can mom and it's either sink or
swim.
And it's hight time everyone else stopped paddling for them.
And it's a song, a song for the tired ones,
A song for the sick ones, a song for you.
And it's a song, a song for the scared ones,
the scared of this lifeones, just like me and you.
And if the call, the call to the fight, comes.
Just call and I might run, right back to you.
'Cause I remember, yeah and I measure. I measure them all.
All against you.
That's right all against you
10.Don't Blow It
Someone out there loves you.
You know who you are.
Someone out there's waiting for you.
'cause you're a shining star.
And when the right time comes
You're going to break their heart.
So when the right time comes.
Don't blow it.
Don't throw it away.
And I'm that voice you're hearing in the dark,
the one that knows your name.
And I'm that choice you're making with your heart.
And I'll take all the blame.
So when the right time comes don't throw it away.
Yeah, when the right time comes, you'll know it.
When the right time comes, you'll know it.
When the right time comes, don't blow it and break your heart.
So don't blow it
11.British Columbia
She says she's going back home.
Hasn't seen her friends in a while.
Plus British Columbia's
Real nice this time of year.
And when she gets there
She says that she'll phone.
May take a day or so.
It always takes longer than you think it will
To settle in.
And she says：
So if I leave on that plane,
Remember me by our good days.
And you don't have to but
I'm going to wait.
There's something wrong with the dog.
She can't stop eating on herself.
And the scabs that are under her fur,
Mean that I've been away too long.
And I should really give her away
To a good heart, in a better place.
I'm going to miss you when you go.
You'll do better than this home.
Someone to take you on walks,
Show you off.
Before it's too late.
At best you'll be blind and gray.
A warm climate for your last days.
Should have never let her go,
But you were always better alone.
Some people never learn until it's too late
