Someday soon the sun is gonna blow
Oh lord it's coming and my gut knows it
Got this chip on my shoulder, that grows with me
Nags away when at my mind when I'm happy
Trying to keep my eyes just where they are
But all of this noise is making it hard
My sister's in the kitchen and Mah's losing sleep
And all these things keep weighing on me
But oh, it never stops
It comes, it never stops
I know, it never stops
It just keeps coming, it never stops
The sky might fall down on me
But when I close my eyes to sleep
I slowly drift away into that dream
I'm the same damn kid I've always been
I'm begging, I'm crying, I'm pleading with them
Don't take this away from me
But the world don't give a damn for us
The world don't give a damn for us
It can't, it won't, it don't it won't ever stop
It can't ever stop
Don't, it can't, it won't, it don't ever stop
It can't ever stop
(ripping solo)
Oh, it never stops
Oh, it never stops
The sky might fall down on me
But when I close my eyes to sleep
I slowly drift away into that dream
I'm the same damn kid I've always been
I'm begging, I'm crying, I'm pleading with them
Don't take this away from me
But the world don't give a damn for us
The world don't give a damn for us
It never, it never, it never, it never, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I said it can't it won't, it will not stop, I know it can't, it won't, it will not stop
I feel it in my heart and soul it's gonna keep on going till the earth runs cold

Keeps watching the sand
Waiting for the tide to roll in
Keeps watching her man
Waiting for him to decide if he's in
Whoa, does anybody care?
Whoa, no, nobody cares
Waiting for your plans to come undone
Turn the lights down and come undone
Wishing for her heart
As she tears it all apart
there's big things in there for you
If they'll just start coming true
All this time, waiting for some big sign
All this time, wasting all my time
Waiting for your plans to come undone
Turn the lights down and come undone
Wait till you see what's under cover
You've been sleeping with all your lights on
You've been waiting for this for hours
I've been waiting for this my whole life
keep holding onto nothing
Nothing comes twice as hard
Keep holding onto nothing
Till nothing leaves it's mark
Watching myself come undone
Watching myself come undone
Watching myself come undone
Watching myself come undone
Who wants to come undone?
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody wants to come undone

Covered in You
04:34
|
|
||
|
Soon I'll be feeling sick
She'll be getting under him
you know how the city talks
who's heart could be enough?
When he's sweet on you?
When he's covered in you?
Tell me who you're lying to?
You know I don't believe your charms
Keep your pain to yourself
Smiling doesn't always help
when he's sweet on you
When he's covered in you
Why you gotta waste it
See how dumb his face is
Oh you know you're wrong
Why you gotta break it
If you can't replace it
Oh you know you're wrong
Standing on a sinking ship
But I think I'm used to it
What happened beyond that door?
Our bodies don't move like they did before
When he's sweet on you
When he's covered in you
Why you wanna waste it
See how dumb his face is
Oh you know you're wrong
Why you gotta break it
When you can't replace it
Oh you know you're wrong
Standing on a sinking ship
But I'm used to it
And I don't care about that door
Once I find somebody new and move like we did before
I still want love, I don't want you, anymore

Don't Know Anyone
02:08

Been wasting so much time
Thinking my heart was mine
I thought I knew someone
I don't know anyone
The one who left you cannot love
Cuz the one who left you cannot trust
Slowly watch their heart decay
And wake up next to someone strange
Been wasting so much time
Thinking my heart was fine
I thought that you'd come back
now I know I don't want that
The one who left you cannot
Cuz the one who left you cannot trust
Knowing this, don't make it easy
You're aching heart just keeps on beating
The one who left you cannot love
The one who left You
Cannot love
The one who left who you cannot love

King of the Cool
02:32
|
|
||
|
Once you catch a feeling you know what to do
Yeah you heard me right I am the king of the cool
Round and round and round and jump up up up up
There's only one move when you're the king of the cool
Once you got it down pat you won't be alone
No more mirror song, no more dancing with your bones
Feel it in your heart, you can feel it in your soul
Sooner or later you gotta let them go
You can catch a bad heart just like you can catch a cold
Sooner or later, everything goes
Find yourself a pocket to put the one you love
Find you miss your hold home, find you miss your bones
you'll know what to do when you're king of the cool
you'll know what to do once you got all the moves
You'll know what to do once you're king of the cool
You'll know what to do, once you know what to do

It Takes Too
03:42
|
|
||
|
She wants a man who makes tough decisions
And sends his love back to her
Needs it now and can't figure out
Why it should take so long
It takes too much time darling
For you to figure it out
That when you get what you want
There's always a catch
Now should you hang around?
He wants a girl
Who can't live without him
and hangs on his every word
needs it now and figure out
why it should take so long
it takes too much time stupid
for you to figure it out
that when you get what you want
there's always a catch
now should you hang around and
Try to, understand your lover, they're a lot like you, but they're not you
It takes time, and some patience now, they're a lot like you, but they're not you, alright
Now they're sad cuz the other has wants and it's got nothing to do with them
They want just what they want just what they want and can't figure out
why it should take so long
It takes too much time darling
For them to figure it out
that when they get what they want their's always a catch
now should they hang around, and
Try to understand your lover, they're a lot like you, but they're not you
It takes time and some patience now, they're a lot like you, but they're not you
Try to enjoy your mountain and you'll be fine
Everyone's got their own they're trying to climb
Try to
understand your love
Try to
Understand one another

He Can Stay
05:25
|
|
||
|
Now that he can stay
she don't want him that way
when the ghost's are out of your home
Don't you feel so all alone
So you warm yourself by the fire
Soon the fire's too damn hot
That's why I'm moving out west
Be faithful to your mistress
I don't know how you deal with it
All the demons taking licks
That's why I miss being a kid
With a six shooter on my hip
Now Julian takes my paychecks so I, can't go and see my girl
But I got plans of taking Julian's whole world
Now that he can stay
She don't want him that way
Now that he can stay
She don't want him that way
She brought me flowers from the cemetery
Said they were meant for me
The stupid shit young people say
when they don't really know what they mean
And old people bummin' me out
They don't know when to shut their mouth
No, I'm all set on advice
I'm doing drugs and shooting dice
I miss my ghost's away from home
I built a gun with sticks and stones
All I wants a dog and a yard
Please stop making this hard
Now Julian takes my paychecks so I can, can't go and see my girl
But I got plans of taking Julian's whole world
Now that he can stay
She don't want him that way
(You guessed it, SHRED CITY, population: sweeeeeeeeet licks)
Now that he can stay
she don't want him that way
when the ghost's are out of your home
Don't you feel so alone?
So you warm yourself by the fire
Soon the fire's too damn hot
That's why I'm moving out west
With the girl that I love best
I don't know how you deal with it
All the demons taking licks
That's why I miss being a kid
With a six shooter on my hip
Now Julian takes my paychecks so I can't go and see my girl
I got plans of taking Julian's whole world
Now that he can stay
She don't want him that way

So Mean
02:18
|
|
||
|
She's so mean
She'll drive a knife through your gut
If she don't get her cut
She's such a charmer
You know you'll never see another one
From where she come's from
There's no hope now
Once she sets her sights I can bet it's good night
Hey boy, you better pray, that you live to see another day, cuz hey, you never know
She's casting spells now
You can see her in the street once the clock strikes three
She's calling ghosts now
They've been coming after me and it's giving me the creeps
There's no hope now
Once she sets her sights I can bet it's good night
Hey boy, you better pray pray pray, that you live to see another day, you never know
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOooOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOooooOOOOOoo wooo

Be Good
04:00
|
|
||
|
Understood
Stop saying what's understood
Oh you know you got me good
Stop asking if we'll be good
Fall away
All you do is fall away
Go ahead and take my crown
If I'm gonna be replaced
Company
You're keeping new company
Don't act like I don't see
Just what it is, that that means
Oh we're supposed to be good, somehow
Now I'm supposed to be good, somehow
Oh we gotta be good, somehow
I just wanna be good, somehow
Float away
I just wanna float away
Take me to a place
Where no one seems to know your face
Oh we're supposed to be good, somehow
No I'm supposed to be good, somehow
Oh we gotta be good, somehow
I just wanna be good, somehow

Darkness is Winning

Darkness is winning
And I'm doing nothing
I play in the backyard
So much of my time spent
There's always a devil singing
Softly to guide me
where did all my time go?
Has it always been spent like this?
Momma and sister
Stressing each other out
I play in the backyard
And try to watch my mouth
Pa's always screamin'
I speak softly to guide him
Where did all my time go?
Has it always been spent like this?
Oh look another morning came, while you prayed for the clouds to change
You'll be wishing on that star until your eyes turn cold and grey
You can keep raising your hands to the sky and yelling why?
But it's you, you know it's true, well it's on you
Brother's been lying
Been stressing it out
He's making his life hard
While I try to watch my mouth
There's always a devil singing
Softly inside me
Where did all my time go?
Has it always been spent like this?
Oh look another morning came, while you prayed for the clouds to change
You'll be wishing on that star until your eyes turn cold and grey
You can keep raising your hands to the sky and yelling why?
But it's you, you know it's true, well it's on you
Darkness is winning
And I'm doing nothing
Darkness is winning
So much of my time spent
There's always a devil singing
Softly to guide me
where did all my time go?
has it always been spent like this?

Sit down
the pretty things aren't meant for you
Feels like
All your demons screaming "boo"
Don't speak
There's someone always listening
Wonder why
The bars start glistening
Don't walk
run fast into your grave
There there
There's no reward for being brave
Can't find
Wonder what I can't find
Sit down
Pretty things are mad at you
You're small
That's why you do what you do
Don't speak
There's someone outside listening
Wonder why
The stars bother glistening
Bad dream
Wish you didn't have to see
Get out
The pretty things are mad at you
Found out
There's very little I can do
Can't find
Wonder what I can't find
Can't find
Wonder what I can't find
