2.This Scene Is Dead

This scene is dead, but I'm still restless
An hour or so until last call, I guess
I shouldn't even be here, much less
Drinking myself into excess

I'm not going home till I'm done

Well come on, we can't go on
Well come on, we can't go on
Well come on, you can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been
Fun

Well everything's another excuse
To keep from doing what I want too
Like I would really love to kiss you
But I guess I'm in no condition

I'm not going home with no-one

Well come on, we can't go on
Well come on, you can't go on
Well come on, you can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been
Fun

Well I said that's it I'm not going home with no-one
Not going home with no-one
Not going home with no-one

Well come on, we can't go on
Well come on, we can't go on
Well come on, you can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been fun

You can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been fun
You can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been


3.Inaction

Coal on the face, this'll take a second
While I fall on my face, like everyone else
And we can talk all we want, but all I can say is that
'I'm sorry, and I'm sorry, but I'm never gonna do it again'

Counting all my remedy friends
Well this keeps coming up again and again
If everybody knows how it's gonna end
Why doesn't someone stop me
Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor
For the 6th or 7th night in a row
I'm lying next to you in all of my clothes
Someone stop me?

It's hard to rely on the rythmn section
When they're all packing up
And just heading for the exit
Yeah we're all about the same
A bunch of slaves to fashion
Who are tall, dark and scared
And just praying for some action
How am I supposed to know what makes this happen?
(how am I supposed to know what makes this happen?)
Well, how am I supposed to know what makes this happen?
(how am I supposed to know what makes this happen?)

(inaction, inaction)
I'm counting all my remedy friends
(inaction, inaction)
'cause this keeps coming up again and again
(inaction, inaction)
If everybody knows how it's gonna end
(inaction, inaction)
Why doesn't someone stop me
(inaction, inaction)
Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor
(inaction, inaction)
For the 6th or 7th night in a row
(inaction, inaction)
I'm lying next to you in all of my clothes
(inaction, inaction)
Someone stop me

(inaction, inaction)
I can't keep counting on my remedy friends
(inaction, inaction)
'cause this keeps coming up again and again
(inaction, inaction)
If everybody knows how it's gonna end
(inaction, inaction)
Why doesn't someone stop me
(inaction, inaction)
Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor
(inaction, inaction)
For the 6th or 7th night in a row
(inaction, inaction)
I'm lying next to you in all of my clothes
(inaction, inaction)
Someone stop me


4.Can't Lose

The party's alright, I might wanna stop drinking
What were we talking about?
My body won't tell my mind what I've been thinking
Before it's outta my mouth
Ooow

The minute I get upset, that's it, it's over
I'm already outta the room
Why can't I just forget that?
Who I know what's gonna hurt
There's not much else I can do
Ooow

I'm breaking my own rules
Becoming someone else
Everybody says I oughtta get over myself
I'm thinking I can't move
If there isn't somewhere else
To go

I've probably made mistakes that I've forgotten
It's all ambiguous now
I'd be willing to take the shape of what you wanted
I could just figure it out
Ooow

I'm breaking my own rules
Becoming somone else
Well everybody says I oughtta get over myself
I'm thinking I can't move
If there isn't somewhere else
To go

(oooooooh)

I'm breaking my own rules
Becoming somone else
Well everybody says I oughtta get over myself
I'm thinking I can't move
If there isn't somewhere else
To go

Woah, woah

It's changing my issues
As far as I can tell
Well everybody says I oughtta get over myself
I'm thinking I can't move
If there isn't somewhere else
To go


5.Callbacks

I guess that I should probably leave right now
'cause I'm already kinda sweaty and freakin' out
I gotta time-bomb headache that's sticking down
I guess that everything is better when I'm not around

It's all outta context
There's nothing I'm in too
Call it a complex
It's really quite simple
I'm tired of these hang ups
I wish someone would call me back
How 'bout it?

Well my tongue is hot and I'm singing songs
I got a million only words for what you are
I gotta plastic bag and a broken heart
I guess everything is better wherever you are

It's all outta context
There's nothing I'm in too
Call it a complex
It's really quite simple
I'm tired of these hang ups
I wish someone would call me back
How 'bout it?

It's all about context
There's nothing I'm in too
Call it a complex
It's really quite simple
I'm tired of these hang ups
I wish someone would call me back
I said that I'm so sorry to bring you down
I guess that everything's better when I'm not around
I said that I'm so sorry to bring you down
I guess that everything's better when I'm not around
I said that I'm so sorry to bring you down
I guess that everything's better when I'm not around


6.Cash Cow

Well I've been taking my time
Slow goings nothing new to me
I've been taking my time
Slide up, just drop everything

I'm falling outta my car
I'm not sure what I'm doing here
So now wherever we are
I'm not sure what I'm doing here
I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
All of this at once, I'm ready for the cash in
I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
No, aooo

Well I've been talking alot
I'm not saying much of anything
I've been talking alot
I'm not saying much of anything

I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
All of this at once, I'm ready for the cash in
I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
No, aooo

(well I've been taking my time) x2

I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
All of this at once, I'm ready for the cash in
I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
No, aooo
I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
All of this at once, I'm ready for the cash in
I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
No, aooo


7.It's A Hit

I shoud've known that this would happen from the start
This kind of function's gonna have to fall apart
I guess before I would've sworn that we were friends
Maybe this problem points towards some larger trend

But I still don't understand
What this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said
Are somehow stuck in my mouth
And this was going so well
But I don't know what I did
All I really can tell, is
I've been hit
I've been hit
I've been hit

Well there's only so much drama I can stand
And this is just about as far as I will bend
So get your hands of my lepel
Because I think it's time to go
You wanna know?
Better you know
You wanna know

But I still don't understand
What this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said
Are somehow stuck in my mouth
And this was going so well
But I don't know what I did
All I really can tell, is
I've been hit
I've been hit
I've been hit

As I was falling down the stairs
And out the door
I guess I heard you yell my name
But I'm not sure
You know before I could've sworn that we were friends
But that's how these problems always seem to end

But I still don't understand
What this whole thing's about
When all the words that you said
Are somehow stuck in my mouth
And this was going so well
But I don't know what I did
All I really can tell
Is that I always get hit

And I still don't understand
What this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said
Are somehow stuck in my mouth
I guess I might take it back
But I'm not sure what I did
All I know about that, is
I've been hit
I've been hit
I've been hit


8.The Great Escape

Making my escape
Making my escape
Tell myself that
Everything's in shape
Everything's in shape
But me
How long can this take
How long can this take
Tell myself that
Everything is great
Everything is great
Well how'm I doing?

I gotta great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
I gotta great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
While everything is adding
Up, up, up
Everything is adding
Up, up, up

Breaking both my hands
Breaking both my hands
Telling me to
Take it like a man
Take it like a man
I can't
I don't understand
I don't understand
Please repeat whatever you just said
Nothing's making sense
Well how'm I doing?

I gotta great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
I gotta great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
While everything is adding
Up, up, up
Everything is adding
Up, up, up

They're breaking both my hands
They're breaking both my hands
And telling me to
Take it like a man
And take it like a man
Well fuck that
I don't understand
Said I don't understand
So please repeat whatever you just said
'cause nothing's making sense
Well how'm I doing?

I gotta great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
I gotta great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
While everything is adding
Up, up, up
Everything is adding
Up, up, up


9.Textbook

Falling over backwards for you
Falling over everybody else
I put myself in that position
Everytime I have the chance

I know it's not my business, to be
Digging up these things I shouldn't know
Twenty years of bad descisions
Havn't taught me much at all

Seperate events you're making
Everyone pretend it's not your fault
And all of this offence you're taking
Doesn't really bother me at all

Twist my arm 'cause that's the way you think
you're gonna work this whole thing out
You know you own my body
but don't think that you control my mouth
(having every question answered
Is it gonna help at all?)
(having every question answered
Is it gonna help at all?)
(having every question answered
Is it gonna help at all?)
(having every question answered
Doesn't help)
When you're not supposed to know
You're not supposed to know
You're not supposed to know
Anything

Another textbook situation
Everything I think I know I've read
What's the point of medication?
All it makes me wish; that I were dead

It's pretty clear that you are me
It's written here on every single page
I'm spitting blood, not stupid
I can read it all over your face
(having every question answered
Is it gonna help at all?)
(having every question answered
Is it gonna help at all?)
(having every question answered
Is it gonna help at all?)
(having every question answered
Doesn't help)
When you're not supposed to know
You're not supposed to know
You're not supposed to know
Anything

You're not supposed to know
Anything


10.Lousy Reputation

Why do I keep finding myself so surprised?
The qualities, you open me, as advertised
A bigger man might not feel quite so compromised
But I've never been insane and I won't start tonight

It's burning me up
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me
I've heard some things I guess it's better not to know
It's pretty bad as far as first impressions go
A bigger man could probably get past it all
Oh, the problem here is I just won't grow up
So what?

It's burning me up
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me
Off, off, off
Off, off, off
Off, off, off
Off, off, off

It's burning me up
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off


11.Worth The Wait

If I had one traffic common sense
I would have already left
Don't ask how long I've been waiting here
Yeah, you can probably guess

Tracing the arc of the hour hand
This clock's incredibly slow
You ask how long I've been wating here
I think you already know

'cause I've been hanging out
And counting down
The time that I've been wasting
I've been holding on
For way too long
You always were
The weight though, I guess

Measure the top of the bottle
And I've had more than a few
I'm standing up to get outta here
I'm standing up for myself now
And this is long overdue
There ain't two ways about it
I can't keep letting this go
You ask how long I've been waiting here
I think you already know

'cause I've been hanging out
And counting down
The time that I've been wasting
I've been holding on
For way too long
You always were
The weight though
And the promises
I promise it
You know your gonna break it
I've been holding on
For way too long
You always were
The weight though, I guess

Well I keep hanging out
And counting down
The time that I've been wasting
I've been holding on
For way too long
You always were
The weight though
And the promises
I promise it
You know your gonna break it
I've been holding on
For way too long
You always were
The weight though, I guess


12.What's The Word

What's the point of making all this noise
If nothing's ever getting heard?
I'm saving up my voice now
What's the word, yeah
What's the word, yeah
What's the word?

Instead of throwing up your hands
Why don't you tell me what
You're trying to tell me?
I'm sick of breaking all these plans
Now, it's starting to kill me
Man, it's starting to kill
I'm about as close to making sense
As I am ever going to get
Is that how quickly I'd be gone?

And just read my lips
They're pretty loose
They're pretty loose
They're pretty loose

But I can't ever say
Who's kidding who?
Who's kidding who?
Who's kidding who?

Instead of throwing up your hands
Why don't you tell me what
You're trying to tell me?
I'm sick of breaking all these plans
It's starting to kill me
Man, it's starting to kill
I'm about as close to making sense
As I am ever going to get
Is that how quickly I'd be gone?

Save your breath
I already knew
I already knew
I already knew

But I can't say
Who's kidding who
Who's kidding who
Who's kidding who

Instead of throwing up your hands
Why don't you tell me what
You're trying to tell me?
I'm sick of breaking all these plans
It's starting to kill me
Man, it's starting to kill
I'm about as close to making sense
As I am ever going to get
Is that how quickly I'd be gone?
