We Make Each Other Cry 04:24
lyrics
buy track
I can love but I’m not in love with you I am close but I’m miles away from you You are the one who never wanted to leave I need more space to be You came into my life We joined as man and wife And if I stay here now my life just wouldn’t be true And it wouldn’t be fair on you We make each cry Don’t blame yourself ‘Cause neither one of us takes the blame Nothing’s changed just the living end Forever’s far too long We gladly took our vows But it was just a lie You came into my life We joined as man and wife And if I stay here now my life wouldn’t be true And wouldn’t be fair on you We make each cry The time we spend together now Is killing us We're fading by the hour, day after day Is it a dream or is it real Depends on who you ask Depends on how you feel You need to let me go You need to let me go You came into my life We joined as man and wife And if I stay here now my life wouldn’t be true And wouldn’t be fair on you We make each cry

Lose Control 04:04
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes I just wanna blow up And when I do it's a big fat mess And then everyone all around me Gets to drink in my brutal distress Starts out with me slipping Then I go down, down a slippery slope And then I say and I do a bunch of crazy things Like some crazy-ass dope I lose control I lose control I lose control From my very soul Sometimes I wanna kill someone Snuff out their life with my own two hands I know this sounds downright awful Don't expect anyone understands The world I knew is gone from me And what remains is an ugly stew It's liars, cheaters, and scoundrels Having themselves a Sunday barbecue Sometimes I just wanna scream my head off At the absurdity of this life Just wanna say enough's enough Can't take no more of this wretched strife It starts out with me falling And I fall down, down in a hole And from there on out it's a disaster It's what happens when I lose control

What Awaits 03:57
lyrics
buy track
There’s a place beyond this place And a world beyond this world And whatever it is that’s out there Has got my toes curled It is not too far ahead I can almost see looming The air is raw and rancid I can hear the sound of booming What awaits There are people fleeing from the cities They’re seeking sunnier skies They are driving off into oblivion Just like in Lord of the Flies Planes are crashing into buildings And all the clocks have stopped The stores have been ransacked All the windows have been window-shopped What awaits The internet’s not internetting The servers have all crashed Even the Hotel Knickerbocker Has had its lobby trashed The churches are all empty Chaos dominates It’s a world without mercy What awaits, what awaits What awaits

Trip Out 03:23
lyrics
buy track
Don’t like the feeling Of what it feels like to be inside my skin How do I begin How do I begin Wish I could just unscrew my head And blow my mind away There would be no end There would be no end If I trip out I trip out I trip out and never come back Trip out and never come back Don't like the feeling Of what it feels like to be alone in this world When will it end When will it end There’s a shrike at my window And it’s impaling its prey to a tree I hear its shrieking I hear its shrieking And I trip out I trip out I trip out and never come back Don't like the feeling Of what it feels like to be beyond all hope It crushes the soul It crushes the soul Wish I could just throw you down And violate your blood It's a bad, bad touch A bad, bad touch

Everyone's Gone to the Moon 05:02
lyrics
buy track
Come away with me, come away with me Let us go one step beyond Come away with me, come away with me Together we will abscond We will travel at light speed Across a forest of stars Hand in hand Rocking band Distorted guitars Everyone is leaving Not a moment too soon Everyone is leaving Everyone’s gone to the moon Come away with me, come away with me Let's be gone or be left behind Come away with me, come away with me We will seek and we will find We will find a new homeland Where everyone looks like us All the happy and the friendly faces Not one mean old cuss Let me hold your hand I will take you to the promised land Come away with me, come away with me Let's get out before the storm Come away with me, come away with me Let us go to where it's safe and warm Don't you dawdle or tarry Just leave your bags at the door You won't need 'em where we're going Not now or for evermore

Little Girl Lost 03:36
lyrics
buy track
You got a map and a GPS But you can't figure out Which way to go You should have turned left When you should have turned right Then you look at me Like I oughta know, yeah You're a little girl lost, oh yeah You're a little girl lost, oh yeah Little girl lost Break it down now Your daddy used to tell you How to get there from here He wrote it all down in vivid detail But since he died You drive 'round and 'round Like a pilgrim searching For the holy grail Who is gonna find me Who is gonna be my center of mass Who is gonna find me Who is gonna save my ass You see the world As a ball of confusion Too many roads That lead to nowhere You could go here Or you could go there Any way that you go You don't got a prayer

Light Up My World 05:06
lyrics

Come back baby Come back now All is forgiven Can't let you go Can't live without you That is not living That 's not living Light up my world Love you forever Light up my world Love you more I am alone here All by myself Floundering around in the dirt It's a wasteland out there Ugly and broke I can't handle the hurt Why did you leave me Why did you go I'll never know why, why I will never know If only you'd tell me Just one word Why did you die Why did you die

lyrics

We don't get along To say the least We don't agree on most nothing at all We fight like dogs Foam at the mouth Screaming at each other from behind a wall Just wanna divorce you Just wanna divorce you End it with you and me Just wanna divorce you Just wanna divorce you D-I-V-O-R-C-E We say hurtful things That we can't take back And it casts a veil on what was good I don't recall When we last agreed We are lost in the devil wood We don't kiss no more We don't have sex We sleep in separate beds We don't touch We live in fear We may trigger the warhead I don't like you You don't like me That's one thing we on which we agree Let's end this End this right now Let's set each other free

Can't Make Up My Mind 04:15
lyrics
buy track
What do I want I don't know anymore I mean did I ever I'm stuck in this hole And I can't get out No way am I so clever Can't make up my mind Can't choose a path to go down Can't make up my mind Can't make my world slow down Can't make up my mind When will I know What choice should I make How can I know my own mind Time's running out I can feel it slipping Soon I'll be left far behind Can't stop this crazy thing Headed for a showdown Where am I going I've no way of knowing Can't predict just what's up ahead One thing for sure It won't be too good It's how I've made my bed

Chalk and Cheese 03:45
lyrics
buy track
We walk out of sync We sing out of tune We can never seem to get it together What I think is funny You think is dumb That is never good for a bellwether We are chalk and cheese As different as day from night We are chalk and cheese Celsius and fahrenheit I am a vegan You like your steak We can’t settle on a restaurant I dig verdana You are partial to goth Which I think is a butt-ugly font Whatever we do Wherever we go We just can’t ever seem to align I make a left You make a right We over and we undermine I am sharp And you are flat In the end we never harmonize What I think is right You think is wrong Only one can monopolize

The Truth About Us 03:47
lyrics
buy track
When I first met you You were like a burst of light Cutting through to me in the darkest night I fell for your laugh And bright green eyes It felt almost but not quite Now there is no you And there is no me What more is there left to discuss We got lost On love's highway That is the truth about us When I first met you I was beaten and broke Never dreamed I could love once more We took it slow As slow as we could go But there were certain things I chose to ignore Why do all good things Turn out so bad It breaks my heart And makes me so sad When I first met you I had all but given up But I was naive enough to give it a chance I tried to change Tried on some new moves But in the end it was the same old dance

Say Bye-Bye 05:08
lyrics
buy track
Once upon a time We had hope We had hope we’d make it to the end But that’s not the way Not the way it went We’re broken now in a way we cannot mend It is the end of us The end of us It is the end of the show It is the end of us The end of us Tumbling down like Jericho Time to say bye-bye Once upon a time We were in love We were in love like there was no tomorrow But we fucked it up And the we burned it down And now we’re left with nothing, nothing but sorrow Once upon a time We had the world We had the whole wide world In the palm of our hands But the world we had It got blown up Now we’re stranded out in the badlands
