Yell! Scream! Live Loud!
03:41
|
|||
|
Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror
Start to freak out
That's not who I was five years ago
That's not who I was the other day
I can't be myself when I'm around myself
And that makes me want to scream
Every time my head gets full
It's because I don't know how to
Yell scream live loud
Yell scream live loud
I don't want to be worried about
All those things everyone else does
I don't want to be worried about
All those things everyone else does
Wide awake in my bed up all night
Thinking about the past present and the future
Sometimes I wish I could close my eyes
In this bed and I could go straight to sleep
I haven't felt this way for a while
I hope this feeling stays for a while
Yell scream live loud
Yell scream live loud

Sinking Slowly

Sink or swim that's how I'll die
If I wait too long I'll keep telling lies
So I said I'd go and there I went
I said I'd go and there I went
And wishing doesn't seem to work anymore
I hate to be the one to settle the score
I am just the messenger
Please don't shoot the messenger
And I don't want to be
The person who has to run
But I am turning to
The person who always has to run
And don't dig too slowly
Don't dig too slowly
I have nothing to say
Even if I knew just what to say
And don't sink too slowly
Don't sink too slowly
You're not getting away
Even if you knew just what to say
You took too long and now I'm spent
And I don't even know what you meant
So I said I'd go and there I went
I said I'd go and there I went
And you seem to be turning into
The person who has to run
And don't dig too slowly
Don't dig too slowly
You have nothing to say
Even if you knew just what to say
And don't sink too slowly
Don't sink too slowly
I'm not getting away
I don't know what else I could say
You saw a side of me
You saw a side you'll never see again
Ya, you saw a side of me
You saw a side you'll never see again

Outta My Head
03:04

Get me outta my head
I want outta my head
Get me outta my head
I want outta my head
If I stay here for too long
I am sure to wind up dead
Every time I sit down try to write something new
It comes out the same
I can't get away from that
I need to get away from that
And when I think of something different I just forget it
It's such a shame
I can't get away from that
I need to get away from that
Maybe, maybe if I had time
I said maybe, maybe if I had time
I could be anything, anyone that I wanted to be
Just give me time to
Get outta my head
I want outta my head
Get me outta my head
I want outta my head
Get me outta my head
I want outta my head
Get me outta my head
I want outta my head
If I stay here for too long
I am sure to wind up dead
I tried being someone else but it didn't work
Now I'm stuck here as the same
I can't get away from that
I need to get away from that
And when I run, I run so fast and I run
To the exact same place
I can't get away from that
I need to get away from that
Maybe, maybe if I had time
I said maybe, maybe if I had time
I could be anything, anyone that I wanted to be
I could be the person that I want, I could finally be me
Just give me time to breathe

The faster you kill me the better
I'm feeling more than a little under the weather
And I know, I know, I know that it's all in my mind
The faster you kill me the better
They always ask the exact same question
Over, over I can't take it
How many times to I have to say I'm alright?
And every time I think I'm lying
Over, over I can't take it
How many days 'till I think I'm losing this fight?
If I say it all the time I must be fine
If I say it all the time I must be fine
I know I can be better
The things I've done wrong written on top of the letter
And I know, I know, I know that it's all in my mind
The faster you kill me the better
They always ask the exact same question
Over, over I can't take it
How many times to I have to say I'm alright?
And every time I think I'm lying
Over, over I can't take it
How many days 'till I think I'm losing this fight?
I'm fine
This fight, I'm fine
This fight, I'm fine
This fight, I'm fine
This fight, I'm fine
This fight, I'm fine
This fight, I'm fine
This fight
I think he's losing his mind
They always ask the exact same question
Over, over I can't take it
How many times to I have to say I'm alright?
And every time I think I'm lying
Over, over I can't take it
How many days 'till I think I'm losing this fight?
If I say it all the time I must be fine
If I say it all the time I must be fine
If I say it all the time I must be fine
Oh my god I think he's losing his mind

"The same, they're all the same except for her"
He said to me as he looked straight right at her
The day plays on and on all in my head
And it will stay that way until I'm dead
He never would, he never would
He never would, he never would dance all alone
She never would, she never would
She never would, she never would scream on her own
And he fucked it up, she fucked it up
They fucked it up and now they're both screaming on their own
But he never would, she never would
They never would, they never would dance all alone
He said "I want to forget to remember to forget
Ya I want to forget to remember to forget
I don't want to forget it"
Maybe if I ran, ya maybe if I ran
I could get far away from here, far from her
I don't know where that thought even came from
And there's people everywhere, there's people over there
They're talking louder, louder, loud, loud, loud
She saved me from the fire
I want to forget to remember to forget
Ya I want to forget to remember to forget
I don't want to forget it

A Break From the Chaos
04:36
|

Sometimes I can't stop thinking about everything at once
My mind always goes towards the places where no one wants to be
It's so damn hard for me to shut off everything at once
Even when I open my eyes it's still damn hard for me to see
And keep up, no time's slowing down
You're in no rush to get the crown
And take me far right off this ground
I wanna be somewhere, wanna be somewhere I can look around, look around
I don't want to be put down
I want to stay right off the ground
I don't want to think oh so deep
I want to close my eyes and go to sleep
Sometimes all we need is just a break from the chaos
And all the things that we don't think about that truly control us
And even if you don't get scared
You know that the feeling is shared
When you close your eyes and you can only envision
Everything that you've ever done wrong, you once thought you were so strong
But when you can't shut your mind off
Time to light the Molotov
Sometimes all we need is just a break from the chaos
And all the things that we don't think about that truly control us
I want to shut my eyes and I just want to go to sleep
Can you shut my mind off so I can just go to sleep
A break from the chaos will finally let me sleep
Can you shut my eyes so I can just go to sleep

Freaking Myself Out
04:12
|

I can see clearly now in my mind
For the first time it seems in a while
Look at the ground to lose my sight
I don't know how I've lost my style
I said "shut up"
You have no right, no place to scream
I said "shut up"
You don't know what the feeling means
When you're talking to yourself all day and night
About a shitty little fucking dream
I said "shut up"
I've got no fucking right to scream
Now I'm freaking myself out
I am freaking myself out
All the things I say
Circling around my head
All the things I say
Will it ever end?
Circling around my head
I'm freaking myself out
All the things I say
All the things that I say
I won't end
Freaking myself out
And I'm waiting
I'm waiting

Internal Glow
03:35
|

"Oh my god, it's been so long"
He said as his head filled with sadness
"It feels so odd, like I don't belong"
He's now devolving to madness
He gets out of bed and goes through his head
He puts one hand on the door
He takes a deep breathe and lifts up his hand
Thinking he's much safer on the floor
He shut the door to the basement
But not before the snake could get in
One step forward and three steps back
He thinks, "here we go again"
"He's talking to himself", he said to himself
As he looked straight back at the mirror
"To be someone else", he wished to himself
"So my head can be so much clearer"
Sit right back, get on track
Don't you lose the feeling
Sit right back, get on track
Don't you lose the feeling
Give me that internal glow

Come with me if you want to escape
This life we live, this life that's full of hate
It seems like our world's slowly losing shape
I want to leave now, no I cannot wait
Mary please just go to sleep
I don't want you to watch me bleed
I fucked up and now I have to think
And I just want to go to sleep
And I don't know why I feel so bad
Thinking of all the things I wish I had
And I don't know why I feel insane
Repeating all the things I couldn't say
Mary please just go to sleep
'Cause I don't want you to watch me bleed
All I wanted was to be with you again
I know, that that can't happen
Ya, I know, that that won't happen
Take me for a good friend I know that
It's gonna end, I know the distance
We'll be so far, so far, so far away
Somehow I know the feeling will stay the same
If we want more then we will have it
I'm just so tired of hearing the same shit
It's not the feeling of loneliness that scares me
I'm just worried that I won't be pleased
All I wanted was to be with you again
I know, that that won't happen
Ya, I know, that that can't happen
All I wanted was to be with you again
I know, that that can't happen
Ya, I know, that that won't happen
One more slow song for the people who get heart attacks too easily
I hope that that's not me
I hope I don't turn out like that
I want to be here for so long
I want to be able to finish out the song
But I make them too damn long
One more slow song for the people who get heart attacks too easily

He stuck his head out the window screaming everybody's names
Said "I'm sorry but I have to go this place is getting kind of lame"
"I'm tired of putting on a show and I'm tired of this game"
"I'll still be your friend though even if the feeling's not the same"
And he jumped
Ya he jumped
There he jumped
Ya he jumped
If he would've spoke his mind, would he have ended the same way?
One listening ear so kind, would he still have ran away?
These are the questions we have to ask even if it causes pain
He fucked it with one simple task now we're asking who's to blame
He said "I feel so dead"
I said "Hey at least that you're not dead!"
He said "I feel so dead"
I said "Hey at least that you're not dead!"
I still remember our time at the well
He said "If I throw my coin in will I get out of this hell?"
I didn't find it funny but he seemed to laugh
He said "Come on, loosen up, that wish was just a draft"
But I know that he meant it
And he tossed his coin in
And I know what he wished for
And I know that he meant it
He said "I feel so dead"
I said "Hey at least that you're not dead!"
He said "I feel so dead"
I said "Hey at least that you're not dead!"

The Banjo Song

When it's all said and done
I'm not talking to anyone
Forgetting what I don't want
While the devil shoots me a taunt
I can't go to bed
Without a certain type of mindset
So I'll get up off the back roads to be caught up in a ritual
But you'll never come to save me, no when you get the news I bet you won't
So I'll take my own opinion, my conversation take it where it's wanted
And I'll get up and start running, somewhere, some place less haunted
I can't go to bed
Without a certain type of mindset
I can't go to bed
Without a certain type of mindset
And when I am dead
I sure hope I can find it

Strange Holiday
07:07

I still remember everything that he could say
Every little thing on that strange holiday
The period of time when everything seemed okay
He closed his eyes, he said "Close your eyes with me"
"Soon I hope you'll understand to see"
"That is who I am and who I'll always be"
Images started flooding around my head
Couldn't get them to stop
He said "Now you understand
Why I am always on the run"
I started to freak out, started to scream
He said "It's just a drop
in the sea of pain I deal with
Now I am all done"
He said "This next part gets just a little bit scary
But it leaves you with a feeling so extraordinary"
And he picked up one dead black canary
And he threw it in the sky, oh so quickly
Saying "If everyone had the chance to fly
We would be living in cities built in the sky
'Cause no one wants to live on the ground
'Cause when a body drops, there is a sound
That Everybody can hear
And Everybody's afraid of"
And you can fight the feeling
You can fight the feeling
You can fight the feeling away
But it won't make the feeling
It won't make the feeling
It won't make the feeling go away
She came to me in a dream
Told me scream everything that I mean
He came to me in a dream
Told me "Save everybody but me"
None of it made sense
No I didn't understand
He said "When you think of me
Close your eyes, start to chant"
