Lyrics


"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 was shy
I wish I was honest
I wish I was you not I

'Cause I feel so mad
I feel so angry
I feel so callused
So lost, confused, again
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 lead
I wish I could change the world
For you and me

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

"All Systems Go"

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

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

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

[Chorus x3]
We can't go
Wrong can't get
Fucked this time
Speak up now
Lose or get
Left behind

[Tom]
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 roof
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'd make it through

I saw this man disposed of hunger and soap operas too
I saw this field, that grew perfection, full 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 float 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 float 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 a few, 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"
(feat. Tim Armstrong and Jordan Pundik)

I fell down again
But I can't complain
Another false step
Could drive me insane
I only got myself here to blame
So I shake off the seat and I start again
Oh no I said I wanna go back
But I can't win the shit
And I'm gonna stay on track
Yeah, make a deal like that
I keep my head up but I never react

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

(Yeah!)
I get up
Just to get knocked back down
I sit up
Just to get knocked all around
I wanna say something
But your out of town
I don't wanna have another
Short down say stand up (hey, yo)
Let's make it clear follow you home (no)
You were not there you saw him coming (jump)
You disappear home alone every night
Seems so clear you think you see me here
All alone got my crew coming now
One by one
Two by two
Three by three
Four by four
Let's do some more

Call me back when word is that she's gone
Cat like thief she stole air from my lungs
Leave me standing on this lonely grave
I dug it out in case she turns away

(Don't leave, don't leave her [in the background 'til the end of song])

Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave her [x8]

You think you see me
all alone
Got my crew coming
one by one
Two by two
Three by three
Four by four
Let's do some more

Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave her [x4]

"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, take notice.
Hear me out.

And I want her, need her,
And you always will pull me through.

I'm tired.
This game's so dumb.
She never played, her race's won.
I'm tired.
Can't smile no more.
I'll sure cave in just like before.

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 just 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 this 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"

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 comin' with their politics,
they never went to school to find out that they were full of shit,
didn't really either,
but fuck it really doesn't matter
you took this time to listen to me,
yea i said i fucked your brother

there's one problem,
i've got brownies,
from your mother,
it gave me syphilis... i got no dick!

there's one problem,
i've got brownies,
from your mother,
it gave me syphilis... i got no dick!

FUCK YEAH!

"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 miss 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 went by so fast
I faintly remember breathing on your bedroom floor
Where I laid and told you, but you swear 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 it's all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me
There is

Those notes you wrote me
I've kept them all
I've given 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
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 it's 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 it's 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 it's 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 hopes 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 we'll 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 ashes 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 ashes will slowly pile up just to prove we're finally done.

"Elevator"

[Tom]
The building turned its 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,
I turned away as he came near the street below,
Whoa-oa-oa
Below
Whoa-oa-oa
Below

[Tom]
Let's forget this all move on
[Mark]
Let's forget this all move on
[Tom]
Let's forget this all move on
[Mark]
Let's forget this all move on
[Tom]
Let's forget this all move on
[Mark]
Let's forget this all move on
[Tom]
Let's forget this all move on
