1. Friendly in the shit

Used to be happy for the cause of being; now I put effort into smiles that I fake.

You'd say fuck that, I'm not one of them, but that's what happens when your dreams don't mean shit.

Nobody wants to see you when you're crying unless the situation's got something to gain.

Sit back now, you're the lucky one. Sometimes I wish I could say the same for me.

Relax kid. You're set for life. Don't let the lights go down.

Keep that smile, be polite for now. Keep that hate from sounding out.

So let's be friendly while we're in the shit; be friends while we have that in common.

That courtesy's for naive kids. Humility's for has-beens.

Come join the ranks of the arrogant who kiss ass networking for friends, because integrity is fashion.

God tell me that I'm different, because I ought to be.

If I can't forgive my enemies, then I may run out of friends.

I'm waiting now. Will I forget?

As if it were that easy to take a pill to stop this feeling, to convince you all that I'm more than zero.

Trust me. I'm not dead and I'm not jaded like I've been.

So put the knife in. You know that I'll be waiting.

Do you recall the moment when we walked away, when we shit the bed?

I bite my tongue when I think of you because all in all I know we're through and I don't mind.

In all my careless fuck ups, now you know my secret, so won't you help me out? In my head repeating...

2. Temper, Temper

You said life was rotten once, but not lately.

I had one similar, but not the same.

I miss that old world. (We all might) The one ruled by you.

Hold his hand, warm up your fingers and hold my head back as I choke, because now I can wait.

Now I can't wait to shut your voice out; stop it from repeating when you're not here.

You never are. I held my temper back once, but not lately.

Can I stop myself from exploding? I missed that old world, the one ruled by you.

But right now I don't. You held my head back and I choked because now I can't wait.

Now I can't fucking wait to shut that voice out.

Stop it from repeating when you're not here. You never are.

3. Clear as Mud

Save my mind and break my heart, because when my body dies, you'll have that trophy for your wall.

How could I want you that much? I'll never know.

And there you go. Make sure no one knows that I'm dying; believe me.

This feels like nothing else. At last, fear, ignorance, without her, I'm leaving, I'll die now.

Would you let me be your safety net, or will you keep on falling?

The skies are clear as mud from here on in, and still you keep on falling.

4. Send Off

I tried to wait on the outside. I'll wait on the outside.

One more chance to give me (the choking starts in on me)

your affection and your pity. My actions leave me lonely.

My argument's convincing (a song of love and glory)

I leave you all without me. I know you wish you did, but just forget it.

Sing words like singing prayers. I won't forget that.

Watching, watching but it's way too far home. You and I could get up.

You and I could get out. Take me home.

You and I could get up. You and I could get out.

5. Hell or High Water

I wake up and drive for four hours another night.

I need a hand in my pocket so I can feel your lightly flavored lipstick on my thigh.

Pretend you're next to me. You're warm, you're sweet, you're mine.

If I could only touch you once more in this life, I would want it to be right now.

I'd hold your life next to mine. Don't let it go.

This enchanted night is begging for and end. It's like I'm not gone, when I dreamt that you were home remembering.

You were saying goodbye that night. Sometimes life moves so slow.

I hope the sandman comes. I won't sleep tonight without you.

I'm gonna breathe some comfort in this night and in your scent.

Sometimes life moves so slow for me. Not gonna let you down, for hell or high water.

That's not me. Not gonna let you down, so keep it off your mind.

6. Desperately Seeking Boozin'

Friday night we get our checks, we call Teves and he wakes up Jay.

In the smelly caravan we had the keg sitting there all day. Is the tap broken or did Nuno smoke it?

And what the fuck is up with John C? (He's grumpy!) Where has Nick been lately?

He's out being shady and everyone forgot to call Soapy.

We keep paging Ricky and you know that Curt's drunk already; he'll be on the floor and then he'll drink a shitload more.

Craig brings his black Cave In shirt, Miller Lite and a deck of cards and when the Moose ain't around, Shamus is a football star.

You may see Matt and Steve and get a glimpse of Dave Neitz and Eric smokes a dime.

Snake might drive by with the Beans by his side and Jarrett's drinking wine.

And Trevor has a fit over a Umass girl that has nice tits and Ricky's still not here.

It's drama, drugs, dropped shots and beer. When the world bears down, it says get in motion.

I've fallen on this love for being lost.

When the world's calling and we're not answering, I think that we'll make it after all.
