Say It Again 02:50
I’m sorry to say, but please consider this My 10 year notice that this not a functional functioning I’d rather have a hole in my head Say it again say that I’m to blame For everything that’s wrong in life I love it how you make me feel like I’m the one that’s holding the gun I reject your truths – the way you use it No common ground – how you believe it That you’re all I got- so glad I met you I’m covered in scars And you’re to blame I couldn’t stand to see it anymore Watch it all and Not want to hit the door Stand with your sickness And not want to go find something more Say it again so I don’t forget How everything Was going good til I trashed it But these scars we have aren’t just on me I reject your suits – and your excuses I regret it all – now are you happy Let’s see it all – get the whole story You cover our scars With a smile and a wave Say it again so you can complain How good you’d have it if I was gone I’m running out time And there’s only one way out for me Say it again say that I was wrong Say that you knew it all along But you never knew That I knew that someday I’d be free I reject your truths – the way you use it No common ground – how you believe it That you’re all I got- so glad I met you I’m covered in scars And you’re to blame

Now I’ll admit it, man I can’t quit it, I am a victim of my own construction. And I get it, ‘cause I let it, I’ve got the keys to my self-destruction And it’s all just another mystery… of my faulty brain chemistry But here I am still strung out just the same… it’s burning in my head All those things you said It makes me wish I was dead I close my eyes… Then everything went red It’s obvious to me, that we agree, that everything is the fault of mine And apparently, it’s so easy to see, since you told me so many times But let’s not fail to mention… that you increased the tension And left me here to take all the blame… it’s burning in my head All those things you said It makes me wish you were dead I close my eyes… Then everything went red God dammit, man I can’t stand it, I guess it’s time to confront the shame And I can’t fight it, I can’t write it, too many substances to name Don’t call it addiction … it’s just a consequence of my predilection I’m hopping off this wagon and getting back on the train… it’s burning in my head All those things you said It makes me wish we were dead I close my eyes… Then everything went red

I hear the children screaming I watch the dreamers dreaming I see those cages teaming I’m so bored what’s Netflix streaming? I hear the tanks go passing I watch the cops tear gassing I see the brownshirts massing I’m just walking, why you harassing? If divided we stand, then united we’ll fall We can’t just stand around and wait to be culled You think you’re safe now, your turn’s coming soon They’ll line us up against the wall An injustice to one Is an injustice to all I hear the protests fading I watch those stocks now trading I see the corporate raiding Wrapped in flags and mad parading I hear those cries for peace I watch the corruption beneath I see the secret police Please don’t kill me, I can’t breathe! If divided we stand, then united we’ll fall We can’t just stand around and wait to be culled You think you’re safe now, your turn’s coming soon They’ll line us up against the wall An injustice to one Is an injustice to all I hear an ill wind blowing I watch true colors showing I see the fires glowing Change is coming, you should be going If divided we stand, then united we’ll fall We can’t just stand around and wait to be culled You think you’re safe now, your turn’s coming soon They’ll line us up against the wall An injustice to one Is an injustice to all

9th Life 02:09
I’m on my 9th life And it’s my 3rd strike Some mistakes were made now It’s time to get right Nothing ever changes. It’s really got me down. The way shit is happening It keeps on coming ‘round. I’ve been down here forever And I’m always back for more I always keep on knocking And they always shut the door I’m keeping it together But I’m not doing well The results are coming fast now But it’s too soon to tell They ask me how I’m doing and I always say I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine So what if we’re going to hell in a basket Why am I am the one sitting here in this casket? May as well shake the 8-Ball and ask it It is decidedly so I’m on my last chance Behind the 8 ball They’ve played the last dance And now it’s last call Everything keeps changing Nothing stays the same No matter who’s at fault I’m the one who gets the blame I’m always in the wrong Even when I’m doing right No matter how it starts It always ends up in a fight I can’t keep holding on now My fingers start to slip Don’t know what I’m losing first Is it my mind or my grip They ask me how I’m doing and I always say I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine I’m on my last breath Taking the big fall I’ll have the last laugh This is the last straw Nothing ever changes. It’s really got me down. The way shit is happening It keeps on coming ‘round. I’ve been down here forever And I’m always back for more I always keep on knocking And they always shut the door I’m keeping it together But I’m not doing well The results are coming fast now But it’s too soon to tell They ask me how I’m doing and I always say I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine

Bumming that first smoke out in the woods That fake ID really did us some good You get the beer money and I’ll drive None of us here is getting outta alive You picked me up whenever I’m lost You bailed me out no matter the cost I’m a Child of God and heir to heaven Now I’m on Zoloft for my depression The drinks are never strong enough The nights are never long enough To all my friends! The music’s never loud enough Of you I can’t be proud enough To all my friends! Throw ourselves down the stairs as a goof That time Stumpy slipped and fell off the roof Passed out on the lawn in your leather Ain’t got two nickels to rub together Stealing everything that we couldn’t afford Late night trips to the psycho ward Chasing that night that never stops… Oh shit! Here come the cops! The drinks are never strong enough The nights are never long enough To all my friends! The music’s never loud enough Of you I can’t be proud enough To all my friends! Hey man seems I haven’t seen you forever It takes a funeral to bring us together We moved on to the next new start Grew up but never apart Things didn’t turn out the way I was thinking I’m heading back to rehab because of my drinking And I’m not quite right, but you ain’t wrong How did we manage to last this long? The drinks are never strong enough The nights are never long enough To all my friends! The music’s never loud enough Of you I can’t be proud enough To all my friends!
