1.What They Do For Fun
Tomorrow's the weekend
Everybody's making plans
While I'm making excuses
In my head 'cause I'm afraid they'll ask
'I hope you can make it'
Says a girl who's in my class
I know she's just being friendly
But, every time I see her I wanna kick her ass
She throws parties
People flock to these
They're excited
So, I pretend to be
What they do for fun escapes me
What goes through their heads?
What they do for fun reminds me
I'm not one of them
He asked, 'What's your problem?
Why don't you relax?'
I told him listen
'I live every day like it's my last'
He said, 'You're idealistic'
I said, 'Is that a fact?'
You have my permission
Anytime you see him you can kick his ass
His friends like laughing
About society
But, they've changed nothing
That's reality
I find that
What they do for fun escapes me
What goes through their heads?
What they do for fun reminds me
I'm not one of them
I wonder what would make it fun?
2.Hey Contemporary
Hey contemporary
Do you worry like I do?
I find the past doesn't make
As good an escape as it used to
So I tried to think about the future
What will be
But, how can I think about the future or anything?
When it's so f**king now
So f**king now
So f**king now
There's no getting around
That it's f**king now
So f**k it now
It's oh so f**king now
I've tried bombarding my thoughts with positive things
Like you do
But I'm immune to the hope
Immune to the dreams
I once knew
So I start to think about the end of everything
It's easy to think about the end of everything
When it's so f**king now
So f**king now
So f**king now
There's no getting around
That it's f**king now
So f**k it now
It's oh so f**king now
3.Flimsy
We have a talk
We break it off
Then we're resolved
I think our love
Is really really flimsy
It promises
To mend your heart
But, when you get it home
It falls apart
There are no refunds
Or lemon laws
It ripped us off
The love we bought
Was really really flimsy
Don't play rough
Now easy does it
Don't play rough
Now that's enough
I don't blame us
For giving up
It's not our fault
Our love was just
Really really flimsy
Don't play rough
Now easy does it
Don't play rough
Now that's enough
Really really flimsy
Were we really flimsy?
4.Kill Her Off
Head up
Look alive
No excuses this time
She's not real
It's just your mind
This is it
Say goodbye
Kill her kill her kill her kill her
Kill her off
She's the voice
In your head
That says stay in bed
And she tells you you're weak
You don't need her critique
No she's not worried now
'Cause she knows you'll back down
Don't help her out
Why do you keep her around?
Kill her kill her kill her kill her
Kill her off
Just your mind
Just your mind
Just your mind
Just your mind
Kill her kill her kill her kill her
Kill her off
5.Cry To The Beat
It's a cold night out there
All these people are unaware
As unaware as I once was
Until the day that I woke up
And everything was gone
I turn the music on
And I cry to the beat
As I try not to remember all those damn good memories
I cry to the beat
And remember every single little damn good memory
Why do I have such a damn good memory?
When it happens you'll be unprepared
Thinking everything is nice and fair
But sometimes happiness gets drunk
And gets behind the wheel and does
Lots of damage, lots of damage
Yesterday's hell is today's heaven
I know you won't listen
You think it will never happen
But when it does
You'll turn the music on
And you'll cry to the beat
As you try not to remember all those damn good memories
You'll cry to the beat
And remember every single little damn good memory
Why do you have such a damn good memory?
The lucky ones won't relate to this song
6.Let On
Since I was a kid
I've watched what I've said
My tongue's cut and swollen
From all the times I've bit
I held everything in
Played dumb
I did
Now everyone's sayin'
She's so out of it
But I know much more than I let on
They talk behind my back
I don't react
The world is just a train
And I'm the tracks
But when they least expect
I'll speak at last
They'll all turn and ask
'How did you know that?'
And I'll say, 'I know much more than I let on'
7.Street I Never Lived On
Here's the place where I grew up
A street I never lived on
I have no roots here at all
No affiliations
Just a temporary stop
Just a second on a clock
I'm not ashamed to say I hail
From a street I never lived on
It's just a place to send the mail
And write on applications
Nothing but a paper trail
Just a breath that I'll exhale
Ah
I know that I'm leaving eventually
You said that you grew up too
On a street you never lived on
Your room didn't have the room
For your imagination
Just something you had to do
Imagine that you're leaving soon
Ah
Just know that you're leaving eventually
Ah
We know that we're leaving eventually
(Directions
Hang a left and please
Turn right towards me)
I know that you'll find me eventually
(You mentioned
That you've never seen
The sky so 3D)
I know that you'll leave me eventually
8.Water And Headphones
All I need
Is water and headphones
Those things are my staples
What I live and breathe
Life is just
So much more sensible
Measured in decibels
There's nothing to see
What you might call solitude
Is something I look forward to
You're lucky I have
This outlet of mine
Keeping me sane
'Cause after the fight
I really thought about killing you
I really thought about killing you
All I need
Is water and headphones
I'm being as literal
As I can be
That means you
Fall under optional
Another obstacle
In front of me
Today I'll buy something new
What's left to listen to?
You're lucky I have
This outlet of mine
Keeping me sane
'Cause after the fight
I really thought about killing you
I really thought about killing you
9.I Stand For Nothing
In America I was just 16
I said
Hey
It's just me
And I saw no one's gonna speak for me
I said
Hey
It's clear to me
Clear to me that
I stand
I stand
I stand for nothing
I stand for nothing you would understand
In America and globally
Been hearing
Hey
It's not just me
Do you hear us?
Do you hear Mr. Authority?
You have company
We're saying
Hey
People sing
People sing it
I stand
I stand
I stand for nothing
I stand for nothing you would understand
It's gonna be different
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
It's gonna be different
Do you fear it?
Do you fear it?
I stand for nothing you would understand
I know what I stand for
And I'm just a lonely soul
In America
10.Dead And Well
Was I not clear
When I told you we're giving up?
I'm still here
My body's a selfish f**k
Said you're hoping
Oh, hoping for what?
I'm not going
This is where we part
My relationship with life is only physical
And if anyone should ask you can let them know
Tell the world
I'm dead and well
I have my health
And I have my hurt
Happiness
Is nothing more than a flirt
My heart beats
I breathe
Against my will I work
Undermined
By this betrayer
Do you really want to disappoint
All these vultures?
I am just here for the ride
I'm a passenger
Tell the world
I'm dead and well
My relationship with life is only physical
And if anyone should ask you can
Tell the world
I'm dead and well
11.Heaven On Stilts
I believed you
I had no reason not to
When you told me I
Could trust you with my life
But, I've been learning
That you're a different person
Than you advertise
And I just buy and buy and buy and buy
You're nothing but trouble
You burst my bubble
'Cause you were just heaven on stilts
You're wobbling
You're wobbling
Now look at my heaven on stilts
It's stumbling
It's tumbling down
I heard a crash
Oh well, well welcome back
The ground will suit you fine
It's far more open to your kind
And my heart's been yearning
But, at least my neck's no longer hurting
From looking up at the sky
Oh so high, so high, so high, so high
I'll never recover
Goodbye, seesaw lover
You were just heaven on stilts
You're wobbling
You're wobbling
Now look at my heaven on stilts
It's stumbling
It's tumbling down
I thought that you were stable
Why couldn't you be stable?
How the hell are we going to make it to heaven?
12.After Today, Before Tomorrow
The first time I saw you
Was the first time I saw me
For what I was
And what I could be
We like all the same things
Except you don't like yourself
I'm gonna change that
I can tell that I'll love you after today
And before tomorrow
The next time I see you will be
The first time you'll see me
For what I am
And what I will be
I don't want you to worry about that
Murderer called time
My vocabulary
Doesn't know goodbye
I will think of you after today
And before tomorrow
Time marches on
The last I see you will be
The last time youll see me
The way I was
When I was happy
I know I'm not the most exciting out there
I'm not always brave
But if you tell me a secret
I'll take it to my grave
