Passed out Washed up Burned down Tried it all but now I’m trying again Turned in Dried up Face down Tried it all but now I’m trying again Passed out those fliers now Washed up, I’m cleaner now Burned down those walls for good Tried it all but now I’m trying again Turned in my two weeks notice Dried up and not even nervous Face down in a cool soft pillow Tried it all but now I’m trying again

Hey Hey 03:01
Hey hey, fuck high school Drop out as soon as you want to Leave town right after that Don’t come back until you’re broke and bloody and tired Oh No, Oh yeah Hey hey, fuck college Don’t even think about going Shits a scam, way too fucking expensive You don’t need the job they say you do Oh no, oh yeah Hey hey, fuck high school We’re gonna do it right next time Hey hey fuck college We’re gonna do it right next time Hey hey, fuck your hometown It’s not cool just because you were born there It’s got the same fucked up people As any other shithole anywhere Oh yeah Hey hey, fuck high school We’re gonna do it right next time Hey hey, fuck your hometown We’re gonna do it right next time Oh yeah

Don’t think I’m ever gonna sleep again Too many enemies and too many friends Too many places that I’ve never been and I’ll never be again Don’t think I’m ever gonna rest my eyes Too many stories and too many lies Too many ways to fall in love every single night I’ll never have to say bye again So I’m never gonna cry again I’m never gonna cry again Don’t think I’m ever gonna sleep again Too many oceans and lakes to jump in Too many songs in my brain right now that I’ll never hear again Don’t think I’m ever gonna call it a night Too many ways to get it wrong and right Too many ways to drag it out and not go down without a fight You’re not the only one that thinks they’re right You’re not the only one that dreams at night You’re not the only one that I’m trying to fight I’m not the only one with starry eyes But I’m the one that still believes in lies Yeah I still believe in lies Those starry eyes we are the ones that dream at night Those clever lies, you’re not the one I’m trying to fight

Autograph 02:20
She complains that her heart hasn’t broken yet I smile and say just give it time Patience will be rewarded with misery Then again no one asked for a tragedy We used to wake up with our heads on straight Would always trade the night for day Now I can’t even write my name with these shaky hands Then again no one asked for an autograph No one wants to see my name My sunglasses aren’t on to hide my face But then again no one thought that anyway No one asked for an autograph No one wants to see my name

I’ve been around too long Never time to kill Now I’m staying in And taking lots of pills What blew my mind Now gets a yawn I haven’t learned a thing I’ve been around the world On a pogo stick Shared so many germs That I couldn’t get sick Now when I step outside I’m coughing up blood Bring on the quarantine I’m too smart to learn a thing I wanna shut up all the shut ins Show em what they’ve been missing I wanna shut up all the shut ins (I guess I’m only missing you) You're going round and round With all your friends Broadcast it all Just to rub it in Then you go outside And it looks so strange We haven’t learned a thing Too smart to learn a thing

Hopper Scene 02:21
It’s so bright but I’m in the shadows Like acting out a hopper scene Always crowded but I’m all alone Drinking coffee, reading magazines Skimming National Geographics These pictures never get old I guess we got the world figured out See the South Pole, never get cold I guess I wanna be a profound artist But I’m drawing stick figures I’ll just make one breaking down crying Now I’m looking at six figures All thinking great American novels Without a drop of ink in the pen Finally old enough to see the angles Now I know they’ll never let us win But we’re still getting around I still know, they’ll never let us win I still hope, against all hope, one day they’ll let us win

They said “we’re all on our own,” but you can tell that you’re not It’s just that hearts seem to know, when you wind up on top When you look at the stars, you don’t count on the luck You’re just closing down bars, til you deem yourself stuck While rejecting any leg up Oh you learned from the best To be happy with less Self-inflicted duress And you’re noticing grays, not just on him but on you A concrete display, of what you’ve been through And a constant reminder, that sometimes they were wrong But everyone can be right If you look at it right And I’m too old and unwise To put trust in my eyes No I can’t trust my eyes Nothing looks quite right anymore So I guess that you won Congratulations!

Anchor 01:24
Dark circles, running late Slam your head on the wall until it breaks Black coffee, dirty slates You’ve checked out, I can see it on your face Blank walls, fluorescent lights You stumble out into the clinical night Alone, nowhere to go Where you gonna land now? You’re dragging an anchor but its not latched onto anything How you gonna move now? You’re dragging an anchor but it’s not latched onto anything Either cut the cord or sink it into the Earth

Libertine 02:37
The pleasure seeking libertine, You’re compromising everything you know And everyone you used to know But who am I to point and cry I’ve never gone a day deprived, oh no Just lack the courage to commit So it goes Just another act two scene In a routine dramedy Starring young adults that look like you and me Less a pound or three Their choices more glossy But the falls we take land harder just the same And the boredom-magnet hit-parade is ambling down the promenade right now We got up early just to see A hand outstretched, a smiling face, a happy time in a fucked up place for once We think we soar above it all But we don’t Another act two bore Some dated mumble core Starring people with no business on the screen They have a laugh or three Til there’s nothing else to see But the jokes we take land harder just the same And the cocktails they get stronger as we age We say it’s just our grown up refined tastes But the well drinks still taste great on broker days

Counting votes in the punishment poll Thumbs up, thumbs down Now I’m waiting in the cowards corner Oh no, not now I guess I don’t deserve the ending Not here, not now Counting votes in the punishment poll Thumbs up, thumbs down William Castle I miss you No more tingle up my spine William Castle I miss you All scream and all smiles Life insurance policies Come one, come all Would you sign this waiver please? Right here, right now I wish you could see our faces All screams, all smiles Not a lie if we all leave happy Thumbs up, thumbs down William Castle I miss you No more tingle up my spine William Castle I miss you All scream and all smiles

Old Dynamite 03:01
Whatever’s there we’ve been taught to grab it Just in case, because then we’ll have it Live by better safe than sorry But we end up both most likely Sitting motionless, bored and waiting In the basement marinating Cooked by the television That flat screen radiation Sit long enough You’ll never get up Sit long enough We’ll all blow up Old dynamite
