Track Name: Jamie
Another gun smoking
Another soaked shirt
Another son chocking
Another mother hurt
Another plane crashing
Another well run dry
Another throat slashing
Another sent away to die

Jesus can you save us?
Has the holy holy water been run dry?
Jesus can you save us?
All the leaders got their tongues tied

Jamie once told me, "If you stay that way, the whole world's gonna laugh in your face." and I said, "Jamie baby, that's okay, 'cause they're all gonna wish they were me someday."

Another heart hoping
Another page burned
Another heart broken
Another life hurt
Another heart beaten
Another man down
Another world bleeding
Another light gone out

Jesus can you save us?
Has the holy holy water been run dry?
Jesus can you save us?
All the leaders got their tongues tied

Jamie once told me, "If you stay that way, the whole world's gonna laugh in your face." and I said, "Jamie baby, that's okay, 'cause they're all gonna wish they were me someday."

Jamie once told me, "If you stay that way, the whole world's gonna laugh in your face." and I said, "Jamie baby, that's okay, 'cause they're all gonna wish they were me someday."

Oooh

Jesus can you save us?
Has the holy holy water been run dry?
Jesus can you save us?
All the leaders got their tongues tied

Jamie once told me, "If you stay that way, the whole world's gonna laugh in your face." and I said, "Jamie baby, that's okay, 'cause they're all gonna wish they were me someday."

Track Name: August
In the nights you feel broken, in the nights you feel dumb
you hide away hoping, the pain will keep you numb
But your eyes are wide awake and your heat has a tear
Life will separate, but you can't stop there

In a far away place, where your head tends to go
Their every words is laced, and their every thought know
Speak to vacant rooms, leave by the light
When dawn breaks curfew, follow me tonight

When August comes heavy, we'll say our goodbyes
The world's wide open and our hands held tight
Guilt will follow with every step you take
Spring's so hollow when, season's on break

So the world is at your feet, and you've go no place to go
You're lost in city streets, and promise is a home
But home is what you left, when you wanted to feel to tall
But that world at it's best, when it's making you feel small

When August comes heavy, we'll say our goodbyes
The world's wide open and our hands held tight
Guilt will follow with every step you take
Spring's so hollow when, season's on break

When August comes heavy, we'll say our goodbyes
The world's wide open and our hands held tight
Guilt will follow with every step you take
Spring's so hollow when, season's on break
Track Name: Eve
I have never felt alone
They haunt me in my dreams
And follow me home


You're a slave to a system
One without a man
They'll take your contributions
Then tie you by your hands


I have seen it all before
They're lying in the bathroom
And crying on the floor

They're scratching at their faces
To hide away skin
The ground was never sacred
And rooted within sin

I'm different and I like it
I don't want to be the same
I'm sick of playing rules to
Someone else's game

I am lost inside these walls
They're painted with solution
Of one man's rise and fall

The grounds are high with ashes
And the city's filled with lust
You can't escape the masses
When the doors are bolted shut

I am hidden in the dark
Chocked by isolation
And promises of heart

Please just breath
And put the barrel to your skull
And light the world beneath
And watch your life unfold

I'm different and I like it
I don't want to be the same
I'm sick of playing rules to
Someone else's game

Where have all you people gone? (x4)

I'm different and I like it
I don't want to be the same
I'm sick of playing rules to
Someone else's game
Track Name: Daniel
Please take this, just take this
Your one last sign from god
Another Drug in the system
Can't you see what you've caused?
Give up, you're beaten
Long sleeves will cover scars
Gate's closed, no entry
Next life is not too far
You broke this, you broke this
The only life you had
Eyes open, chest vacant, you couldn't understand

Na na

Just leave us, just leave us
Just leave us all behind
You're blinded by prospect
And memories of life
The change in your pocket
Won't get you very far
The girl, in your necklace,
Has lost her beating heart
Run faster, run faster, until your throat is dry
The world, that you're after, has gone away and died
Cry heavy, cry heavy, cold hands against the dirt
Dig up, the reason, why your heart still hurts

Na na

Drown, drown, drown away
Drown, drown, drown away

Na na
Track Name: Jamie II
Last night you told me that I'm stupid, but it's stupid not to care
Last night you told me that I'm over, but you didn't stop right there
Last night I told you that we were perfect, but you didn't seem to care
Last night I told you that we were worth it, but life's not always fair

But Jamie, don't think, that I don't know
But Jamie, don't think, that I don't know

That every word you say, is poisonously laced, and every heart you take, is dieing in your wake

Last night you told me that I was broken, broken beyond repair
Last night you told me that I was lonely, but you were never there
Last night I told you that I loved you, but you were aware
Last night I told you that I was sorry, but you were way too scared


But Jamie, don't think, that I don't know
But Jamie, don't think, that I don't know

That every word you say, is poisonously laced, and every heart you take, is dieing in your wake

That every word you say, is poisonously laced, and every heart you take, is dieing in your wake


That every word you say, is poisonously laced, and every heart you take, is dieing in your wake

That every word you say, is poisonously laced, and every heart you take, is dieing in your wake
Track Name: Sidney
Above the shooting stars and satellites, where the city leaves the Earth
When the night takes time to crystallize, to show you what you're worth
In the gutters of reality, where fantasy fall flat, you're forced to see humanity and determine if you'll last.

I felt it in my chest, if I could only feel his hurt
Do we care about all people or just the inside the dirt?
And the skies will tell us mystery's before we go to bed
Sell away your misery and lay your weary head

Sidney, we all loved you
You could have stayed
Another night

Sidney, when they drugged you
How's it feel to walk a lie?

Bite your lip and hold your tongue, but don't forget to wave
And all the kids lay down your guns and remember all the days
Because the city's rarely sleeping, and the parents keep on weeping
And there's nothing but cold shoulders to light their way.

And the memories you keeping, and the comfort that you're seeking
Place it in your pocket another day.

Sidney, we all loved you
You could have stayed
Another night

Sidney, when they drugged you
How's it feel to walk a lie?
Track Name: Seth
One by one you'll break
One by one you'll take

Got a new suspension, a new world conviction, lost a beating heart to another world's invention, please just, be just, just in time for, justice, can't trust this world this time
Breath this, heed this, seed this, need this, the world has got a god so I guess they don't need us, 30 past five and I got to find Jesus, everyday is a new day for another one to leave us. Protect us, god help us, cheat a beating heart from a man too helpless, find me, but don't fine me, my eyes are wide open but I'm living so blindly, don't miss this, beat your mistress, when you finally tell the truth you should tell them that you hit this, hide it, they'll find it, might as well give up when the whole world's behind it.

One by one you'll break
One by one you'll take

Be versed, then tell me what's cursed, everyone's praying to the gods you'll get hurt, no reason, that they're peaking, and failure from your gut is the feeling that they're seek, leaking, there's blood in your eye, and no one's going to care until you're reaching from the sky, so try it, and feel the worth breathing, I'll see you in the morning when they're tucked away sleeping


One by one you'll break
One by one you'll take
Track Name: Harry
The song is about balls. I'm not sure anyone cares about lyrics.

Doing some sit ups, my sacks in my face, my cock is like pepper spray, the bitches getting maced, something's in the air that smells like shit, I point at my waist line, it's my dick - she's got - seamen stains on the tips of her lips - I've got - seamen stains on the tip of my dick -but I don't - understand why she wants to go down, hitting on my gavel like she's Judge Joe Brown.

"This is a PSA announcement for men with stinky testicles, I please advise you to wash your balls."

Wash you balls, wash your balls, come on everybody and wash your balls!

"Hey Sammy G!?"
"What's up?"
"What's it called when a sterile old guy has sex with his wife?"
"Yo, what?"
"A DRY HUMP! HAHA!"
"Fuck you."

My rhymes ain't expensive, this shit is free and my flow is catchier than an STD, the lyrics aren't dirty, the parents might scoff, it's not about my lovely's this shit's about golf, it's a metaphor, not common whores, it's a rhyme to a core and an ode to a sport, I ain't, trying to offend what you can't comprehend, but what is this sin that I cannot end WHAT!?

"Dude that was some whack rapping."
"Eat my dick."
"I'm not gonna eat your dick it smells"
"Not anymore."
"Oh! Alright then!"

Wash you balls, wash your balls, come on everybody and wash your balls!

Wash you balls, wash your balls, come on everybody and wash your balls!

Balls like an elephant!

I don't know much about anything
I don't know much about you
But maybe it's stupid to know

I don't know much about anything
I don't know much about you
But you leave me with nowhere to go

I never knew much, about anything
I never really wanted to know
But when I took your hand and held it tight
I knew that I found hope

I never knew much, about anything
I never really wanted to know
But can you keep me one last secret
Before I have to go?

But there's not much, to being alive
But there's not much, to being alive

I don't know much about anything
I don't know much about you
but maybe out scars will show

I don't know much about anything
I don't know much about you
but give me the chance to know


But there's not much, to being alive
But there's not much, to being alive


But there's not much, to being alive
But there's not much, to being alive

I never knew much about anything
I never knew much about you
but you make me want to know
If true love is really true

I never knew much about anything
I never knew much about you
but you make me want to know
If true love is really true

But there's not much, to being alive
But there's not much, to being alive

But there's not much, to being alive
But there's not much, to being alive
