I FEEL SO

Sometimes
I wish I was brave
I wish I was stronger
I wish I could feel no pain
I wish I was young
I wish I would try
I wish I was honest
I wish I was you not I

'Cause
I feel so mad
I feel so angry
I feel so callous
So lost, confused, just mad
I feel so cheap
So used, unfaithful
Let's start over
Let's start over

Sometimes
I wish I was smart
I wish I made cures for
How people are
I wish I had power
I wish I could leave
I wish I could change the world
For you and me

'Cause
I feel so mad
I feel so angry
I feel so callous
So lost, confused, just mad
I feel so cheap
So used, unfaithful
Let's start over
Let's start over

'Cause
I feel so mad
I feel so angry
I feel so callous
So lost, confused, just mad
I feel so cheap
So used, unfaithful
Let's start over
Let's start over

I feel so mad
I feel so angry
I feel so callous
So lost, confused, just mad
I feel so cheap
So used, unfaithful
Let's start over
Let's start over

ALL SYSTEMS GO

I left my fear behind me
Of those lights out by the station
The government is lying
The youth they won't believe them

Refrain:
We can't go
Wrong can't get
Fucked this time
Speak up now
Lose or get
Left behind

When will this be over
This cold and bitter season
The government is lying
The truth is found with reason

Refrain x 3

We can't go
Wrong can't get
Fucked this time
Speak up now
Lose or get
Left behind

We are the
Underrated
All forgotten
Kids who made it
Speak up now
Lose or get
Left behind

WATCH THE WORLD

i watched the smoke, as it grew darker and blew up through the ruff
i watched the fed, saw them panic, as the fire grew
i saw virginia, get rid of langley, and its secrets too
i held your hand, and sat there knowing, that we would make it through

i saw this man dispose of hunger and soap operas too
i saw this field, that grew perfection fall of things you do
i saw this box, get rid of heartache and cure cancer too
when i awoke i sat there hoping, this is what we'll do

if we can, we will leave a letter and this song for you
and we'll write once a day and put it through the sea to you
we'll regret all those things we thought of but didn't ever do

if we can we will leave a letter and this song for you
and we'll write once a day and put it through the sea to you
we'll regret all those things we thought of but didn't ever do
when the sky seems to clear who will then be left but of you and me and you

TINY VOICES

i've been all pinched up since saturday
i've run my self dry of excellence
16 long years in-hale the bullshit in
whatever i said on saturday
whatever i did i'll do it all again
19 marks up walls
each year one short fall of

tiny voices, make things harder
everybody will be let down
everybody will be let down

what is this for ex-parking lot
the dreamers go buy they never stop
20 plus 5 in let the youth cave in

tiny voices, make things harder
everybody will be let down
everybody will be let down

tiny voices make things harder
tiny voices make things harder
everybody will be let down
everybody will be let down
everybody will be let down
everybody will be let down

CAT LIKE THIEF

i wrote it down a list a month ago
16 chapters of one thing you've blown
the best thing yet to help you through and through
that she was i feel her more than you

don't leave
don't leave her

call me back when word is that she's gone
cat like thief she stole her from my lungs
leave me standing on this lonely grave
i dug it out incase she turns away

don't leave
don't leave her
don't leave
don't leave her
don't leave
don't leave her
don't leave
don't leave her
don't leave
don't leave her
don't leave
don't leave her
don't leave

AND I

i am lost in the crowd
i'm standing in line
i'm feeling so down
and i am full of doubt
she's not the one that noticed
hear me out

and i want her, need her
and you always will pull me through

i'm tired
this games so dumb
she never played, her races won
i'm tired
can't smile no more
i've sure caved in just like before

and i want her, need her
and you always will pull me through
and i want her, need her
and you always will pull me through

i want her, need her
and you always will pull me through
and i want her, need her
and you always will pull me through
and i want her, need her
and i want her, need her
and i want her, need her
and i, and i, and i

LETTERS TO GOD

caught off guard
all worked up
the air is as dark and cold as night
let me go
i'm not done
i swear i'll take this one lifetime and i

i won't lie
i won't sin
maybe i don't wanna go
can't you wait
maybe i don't wanna go

i should've asked
i could've helped
at least a fucking 1,000 times before
will this offer get me in
or does it prove that they gave more and i

i won't lie
i won't sin
maybe i don't wanna go
can't you wait
maybe i don't wanna go

and i
i won't lie
i won't sin
maybe i don't wanna go
can't you wait
maybe i don't wanna go

and i
i won't lie
i won't sin
maybe i don't wanna go
can't you wait
maybe i don't wanna go

MY FIRST PUNK SONG

it's 24 to nothing and i'm at the intersection
waiting for the light that's green
waiting for a reason
take them all and stack them up
not in my collection
hit them all and watch them fly
fuck them all and watch them drown
what is with these bands that keep commin' with there politics
they never went to school to find out that they were full of shit
i didn't really either
but fuck i guess it really doesn't matter
you took this time to listen to me
so i'll say hey i fucked your brother

there's one problem
i got brownies
from your mother
they gave me syphilis now i got no dick....fucker

SORROW

because i need you more than you need me
because i want you more i know

because we move too fucking fast
i think i really had to wish to make this last i know

i'm sorry please forgive me, believe me if you would

because i cared way more
because i really felt that you felt so much more i know

i'm sorry please forgive me, believe me if you would
i'm sorry please forgive me, believe me if you could

i'm sorry please forgive me, believe me if you would
i'm sorry please forgive me, believe me if you could
believe me if you could

THERE IS

this vacation's useless
these white pills aren't kind
i've given a lot of thought on this 13-hour drive
i missed the grinding concrete where we sat past 8 or 9
and slowly finished laughing in the glow of our headlights
i've given a lot of thought to the nights we use to have
the days have come and gone
our lives when but so fast
i faintly remember breathing on your bedroom floor
where i laid and told you but you sweared you loved me more

do you care if i don't know what to say
will you sleep tonight or will you think of me
will i shake this off pretend its all okay
that there someone out there who feels just like me
there is

those notes you wrote me
i've kept them all
i'll give a lot of thought of how to write you back this fall
with every single letter in every single word there
will be a hidden message about a boy that's
loves a girl
do you care if i don't know what to say
will you sleep tonight or will you think of me
will i shake this off
pretend its all okay that there's someone out there who feels just like me
there is

do you care if i don't know what to say?
will you sleep tonight or will you think of me
will i shake this off
pretend its all okay that there's someone out there who feels just like me

do you care if i don't know what to say?
will you sleep tonight or will you think of me
will i shake this off
pretend its all okay that there's someone out there who feels just like me
there is

THE END WITH YOU

our days are running thin
our hops will start to fall
i can feel the world collapse around me from within
and the letters keep coming by to let us know when time will die
and please god will you forgive us and give us one more try

if you will then we'll go as fast as we go far
maybe well be forgotten when the world is torn apart

i've been up all night long
counting days that all went wrong
i opened my bedroom window
i wish this pain was gone
there are no useful drugs to escape from feeling numb
i remember an amazing birthday
i remember when i was young

if you will then we'll go as fast as we go far
maybe we'll be forgotten when the world is torn apart
'cause the sun won't be so blinding
and the rains will finally come
the axis will slowly pile up just to prove we're finally done

if you will then we'll go as fast as we go far
maybe we'll be forgotten when the world is torn apart
'cause the sun won't be so blinding
and the rains will finally come
and the axis will slowly pile up just to prove we're finally done

ELEVATOR

Tom:
The building turned it's back ignored my call
The concrete looks too thin to break my fall
The sunset stretched across this nighttime scene
I counted people as I neared the street below
Whoa-oa-oa
Below
Whoa-oa-oa

Mark:
I saw it all I saw it all go down
The shadow grew as he approached the ground
The sunset stretched across this nighttime scene
They turned away as he came near the street below
Whoa-oa-oa
Below
Whoa-oa-oa
Below
Whoa-oa-oa

Tom:
Lets forget this all move on
Mark:
Lets forget this all move on
Tom:
Lets forget this all move on
Mark:
Lets forget this all move on
Tom:
Lets forget this all move on
Mark:
Lets forget this all move on
Tom:
Lets forget this all move on
