B is for B-Sides Lyrics
Lyrics
Disc
Track
Title
- I used to be a stereotype
- Half alive with half open eyes
- With a one track mind
- And a flawed design
- Feeling like I was lost
- At sea at only the age of 19
- Floating around in alcohol and apathy
- Taking in too much caffeine and nicotine
- If we make it outta here alive
- Just say you won't look back to see
- Just who we left behind (there might not be a next time)
- With all the ups and downs and turn arounds (might not be a next time)
- To the breaking up to breaking down (might not be a next time)
- Yeah we were the ones to say (there might not be a next time)
- I used to be a stereotype
- Someone you'd never recognize
- With fingers so yellow
- That they matched the yellow skies
- And there was a few things I memorized
- From all those blurry times
- Like bottles clinking under blinking signs
- And a few last words from long lost friends of mine
- If we make it out of here alive
- Just say you won't look back to see
- Just who we left behind (there might not be a next time)
- With all the ups and downs and turn arounds (might not be a next time)
- To the breaking up to breaking down (might not be a next time)
- Yeah we were the ones to say (there might not be a next time)
- And if we make it outta here alive (if we make outta here alive)
- Just say you won't look back to see
- Just who we left behind
- Just who we left behind
- After all the fuck ups and fallouts (there might not be a next time)
- With all the ups and downs and turn arounds (might not be a next time)
- Through all the breaking up to breaking down (there might not be a next time)
- Yeah we were the ones to say (there might not be a next time)
- There might not be a next time (might not be a next time)
- Words to live by
- we're all doing just fine
- i might as well just sleep it off
- wishful thinking's got my wires crossed (whoa ho)
- when i am desperate and alone
- i know i know i know how low i go
- so i'll drive and disapear
- and maybe if i'm luck by this time next year
- no one i know will know my name
- it's either change or go or i'll explode today
- i'll leave a note on my machine
- unplug the phone and finish packing all my things
- i found a photograph of me
- its been such a slow decay
- day to day i don't even recognize my own face
- i had another breakdown
- and i'm floating face down
- i might as well just sleep it off
- wishful thinking's got my wires crossed (whoa ho)
- when i am desperate and alone
- i know i know i know how low i go
- i'm going to sleep it off
- this sinking feeling of always feeling lost
- hasn't been that long
- six years worth of always being wrong
- i met an old friend out on the street
- trade stories and out of date memories
- and she has a photograph of me it's been such a slow decay day to day
- did we seem much happier in those days
- its been a slow decay
- day to day i don't even recognize my face
- i know i know i know how low i go[x4]
- Tonight i'll be wiping my slate clean
- I''ll be clearing out those clouded memories
- cause i don't to keep living in the past
- and i can't stand how i always do that
- tonight because you know i'm sick to death with every last regret and what i've said
- and now all i really have left is my head
- and its just a mess
- Tonight i will dance on the graves of all my darkest days
- and erase all the worries of all the time i wasted my scars may never go away
- but i'll learn not to mind them along the way
- tonight because you know i'm sick to death with every last regret and what i've said
- and now all i really have left is my head
- and its just a mess
- Tonight i will dance on the graves of all my darkest days
- and erase all the worries of all the time i wasted my scars may never go away
- but i'll learn not to mind them along the way
- right now i am giving the last rights to all my sleepless nights
- right now i am starting clean and i am going on with my life
- amen
- i remember every bridge i ever jumped off blindly
- And all my boring stories keep reminding me
- 'cause in all honesty i used to be an authority
- on irony and remembering my broken dreams and everything that used to be around
- and it's not so complicated to explaine why these feelings faded
- please pass some sanity, saint of mediocrity and keep me out of my sobriety 14 and 23,
- bridge and tunnel authority will keep me out of my sobriety
- I say we just celebrate (I say we just celebrate)
- And all my past mistakes and all my too little to lates
- 'cause in all honesty i used to be an authority
- on irony and remembering my broken dreams and everything that used to be around
- And did i ever mention that i've lost al my best intentions
- please pass some sanity, saint of mediocrity and keep me out of my sobriety 14 and 23,
- bridge and tunnel authority will keep me out of my sobriety
- My lungs are aching
- From the cold from being outside.
- And the windows in my car
- Have started to fog up.
- And it's colder than I remember it ever being in Florida.
- My stomach's burning
- And the stereo in this car is screaming so loud.
- It's 3 a.m.
- I'm just starting to wake up.
- And it's darker than I remember it ever being in Florida.
- The saddest song always plays
- On the radio on the coldest days,
- So I'm saying goodbye in gasoline.
- It's the only way I know
- My head in spinning
- And the engine is purring, yeah it's clicking in time.
- To the pounding in my head
- And this heart on my sleeve
- And it's quieter than I remember.
- And it can go on forever.
- Do you know how many times
- How many times I've counted the signs of State lines
- and roads I've known.
- I know, this time, feels like goodbye.
- My lungs are aching
- From the cold from standing outside.
- After all this time I'm still fucked up.
- And it's colder than I remember it ever being in Florida.
- This song is for everyone that said I was
- Programed, hardwired, that I'd self-destruct
- They'd say I was destined to always be desperate
- They'd say I was destined to always fuck up
- And I was voted the first one to crumble and break
- I'd never have a chance, the biggest waste
- But now I'm the one who's laughing last
- Because you're the one that keeps looking back
- You're the one that's fading away
- So I say
- This song is for everyone that said I was
- Programed, hardwired, that I'd self-destruct
- They'd say I was destined to always be desperate
- They'd say I was destined to always fuck up
- And I was voted the first one to crumble and break
- I'd never have a chance, the biggest waste
- But now I'm the one who's laughing last
- Because you're the one that keeps looking back
- You're the one that's fading away, fading away
- Looking down the barrel of a gun
- All the drinks are free and your x is gone
- Another day in the sun has you all fucked up
- Watch out this is gonna be good
- Because Jay I can see it in your eyes
- Theres somthing wrong with that disguise
- As you devised, your mind would race
- To that ever so destructive fucking place
- Jay Frenzal broke our bus, he went and shit he smashed our bus
- In Detroit Michigan, with a 2 by 4 and a shitty grin
- Our bus, hey fuck face you owe us 500 bucks
- I heard you say you're not my friend, I can't believe our friendship didn't end
- When you leaned over to me and said "...Oh shit here comes your bus driver he's pissed..."
- And your on his shit list-- A big redneck with a meth habit
- And a large closed fist that's headed your way
- Maybe you need a punch in the face...Jay
- Jay Frenzal broke our bus, he went and shit he smashed our bus
- In Detroit Michigan, with a 2 by 4 and a shitty grin

- If you had all the facts all the fictions

- that some things are easier when we walk away
- and acting normal means acting like everyone eles

- just as long as we have commericals and things to hide behind
- it's a life so real you only watch it
- on a moive screen getting so close you can almost touch it
- are we buy what they're selling
- do we have our eyes open
- life's not a fashion statement
- it takes more than good intentions

- it takes more than good intentions
