Cheers 00:59
Here's to the damage we've done Cheers to regret and feeling lonesome And while we're here, let's make a toast to you and I Cause tonight will be our goodbye
2.
Time is a thief I've been asleep for days Your cold black heart dragged my soul to the grave I'm buried deep from my head to my feet How did it come to this My ghost is above me stealing all my breath These vultures are laughing, ha This sea of grief Let me explain one thing It's getting old Just cut the shit already I'm tired of suffocating It's entertaining to you, I get it But to me there's a factor of embarrassment With these vultures laughing The blood on your fingertips and apathy wrapped in a blanket I just want you to know that I'm decaying And you're staining the evidence on everything The walls to the floor where I was laying You were right beside me but your heart was blinding The blood on your fingertips and apathy wrapped in a blanket I just want you to know that I'm decaying And you're staining the evidence on everything The walls to the floor where I was laying You were right beside me but your heart was blinding

I'm broken promises An upside down cross necklace A bible with torn pages I'm the smoke in your room with the door locked too I'm the spoiled food you ate The puke that you still taste I'm no good for you Thanks for letting me love you I'm the worn out jacket that you wear The chills that you despair The long walk home freezing in the cold snow I'm the ache in your head With a hangover in your bed The sun in your eyes beaming through the shades It's a long road that we took With the ups and downs that we shook Off of our backs when we reached the other side, yeah It's a lifetime of putting up with the shit that stinks on us So goddamn insensitive when we fight We'll never leave our sides It's a long road that we took With the ups and downs that we shook Off of our backs when we reached the other side, yeah It's a lifetime of putting up with the shit that stinks on us So goddamn insensitive when we fight We'll never leave our sides

He said it's what you wanted She said it's bound to happen They don't know who they're talking to You said everything would be alright except it hasn't happened Tearing the walls down tonight Let's go to a better place A place where we'll be alright Why don't we stay a little while I won't see this place again Standing on the same old street Let your demons out tonight, tonight You're my everything She said that this is ending They don't know who they are anymore The bottle fell to the floor That's the end of the lover's fable It'll storm the rest of the night Let's go to a better place A place where we'll be alright Why don't we stay a little while I won't see this place again Standing on the same old street Let your demons out tonight, tonight Let's go to a better place A place where we'll be alright Why don't we stay a little while I won't see this place again Standing on the same old street Let your demons out tonight, tonight
5.
I walked off with you to share a drink with another guy and a girl And I couldn't help but think, I think you're looking at me too I know it may seem farfetched but maybe you'll like my band We should hang after the show, hang with my drummer and my girlfriend Let's look at me Like Mike Ness said, "What's a punk boy supposed to do?" Let's look at you A party girl, you'll make me miss every string I strum I know that it may seem farfetched but maybe you'll like my band We should hang after the show, hang with my drummer and my girl Every song that night was about you I don't even know you but I felt like I did Every look in your eyes you noticed I made a mistake and I know that I did I am sick, I'm a freak, I'm a creep And I am also selfish with these dreams in my bed I am weird, I am weak, I can't sleep Why did you have to come to The Fireside Bowl Every song that night was about you I don't even know you but I felt like I did Every look in your eyes you noticed I made a mistake and I know that I did Every song that night was about you I don't even know you but I felt like I did Every look in your eyes you noticed I made a mistake and I know that I did

Chugger 03:03
This beer I chugged is sadder then the beer I drowned in seconds ago Now I'm only down to pocket change The gun behind the counter shoots words in my ear and out the other When did I walk into a shooting range I miss those summer nights under Saint Charles lights And we stumbled into every bar in town But now that it's winter, I miss staring at eyes Licking up every drop in this bitch This whiskey I had is badder then the swill I had one minute ago Sorry man, I've only got lint and change The bar bitch comes and grabs my shirt I talk some shit and I get hurt And thrown outside to freeze in the fucking snow And I blink three times It's already after midnight The lights are bright and the noise is low I walk myself home alone, I walk myself home alone All this year I've had a blast But them round of beers went too damn fast And all this year I've had a blast But them round of beers went too damn fast And I blink three times It's already after midnight The lights are bright and the noise is low I walk myself home alone, I walk myself home alone And I blink three times It's already after midnight The lights are bright and the noise is low I walk myself home alone, I walk myself home alone

The fire is rising up like a bomb about to explode One fucking pill and it defuses Some may think I'm crazy or just a little undone, well yeah I shoot out words, like a gun, I open fire People keep on talking, acting like I'm not around A pair of headphone, sink quickly and I will drown I'm mortified to even say hello or goodbye I'd rather lay in bed with the shades shut as I die Die - Hope the demons will go away Die - Pray like Hell that God will take me Die - Watch my spirit leave my body Die - Pray like Hell that God will take me Die - Hope the demons will go away Die - Pray like Hell that God will take me Die - Watch my spirit leave my body Die
8.
I've seen the devil look at the stars I've hear the motherfucker pray "Thank you Lord for saving me, although I sin, I sing everyday" The love is cold on the bottom floor The wind passes through the city doors And I've found myself sitting along side with the devil look at the stars One life is all we got The eyes in the alleyway have one hand in their back pocket While the others trick-or-treat and we walk away What will happen, we can't expect Our eyes see what we never forget Yet we drink past the day (Drink past the days) To pretend that our lives, our lives are okay One life is all we got The eyes in the alleyway have one hand in their back pocket While the others trick-or-treat and we walk away This city hasn't been happy sine '89 This city hasn't been happy since 1989 One life is all we got The eyes in the alleyway have one hand in their back pocket While the others trick-or-treat and we walk away This city hasn't been the same since '89 This city hasn't been the same since 1989
9.
The ones that pray, they follow through 'till the very end As the rest go through Hell and they never come back again Cause all of their hope is lost and the jail cells rust It's cold as ice on the concrete floor The prisoners sing while they're on death row The children dance but what they don't know is when the music stops The noose hangs low And so it goes back to the start where the sun doesn't shine The victim is innocent to the crime At the wrong place at the wrong time Joyful and blind And those who fight to stay alive They are on death row and they have a reason why They're running out of time Cause life is much too short just to sit here and to cry Everyone sing a lullaby The prisoners sing while they're on death row The children dance but what they don't know is when the music stops The noose hangs low And so it goes back to the start where the sun doesn't shine The victim is innocent to the crime At the wrong place at the wrong time Joyful and blind The prisoners sing while they're on death row The children dance but what they don't know is when the music stops The noose hangs low And so it goes back to the start where the sun doesn't shine The victim is innocent to the crime At the wrong place at the wrong time Joyful and blind Joyful and blind Joyful and blind
10.
I can feel it through the burns from the wreck out on the street We were two lovers colliding and our hearts just skipped a beat From cardiac arrest to the sound of the beep In separate beds, our hands can't meet Life's a gamble, darling Sometimes we fold the cards that we should hold So let it be and let's just see 'Cause clearly we're not alone You're a junkies dream of needles in your veins And I 'm a clown smoking cigarettes on a train And nothing seems to be working right So what's wrong with tonight Life's a gamble darling Sometime's we fold the cards that we should hold So let it be and let's just see 'Cause clearly we're not alone Alone - Will you open the door Alone - Let me stumble inside Alone - Will you pour me a drink Alone - Will you open the door Alone - Let me stumble inside Alone - Will you pour me a drink Alone - Kiss me and say good night
11.
Forget about these roses in the morning They'll be dead since I left them without lungs And the rain trickling softly down upon them Will wash away the rest of their... Going back to my memories I've fallen down onto my knees Laughing hastily at the times we've had 'Cause I can't remember a fucking thing All I have is mixed feelings and all the messages that I've sent What it was, I'll never know A pretty face but there was no show of any sign or emotion you had I guess it was me all along You are no lyrics to a song I take back every fucking word that I've said Forget about these roses in the morning They'll be dead since I left them without lungs And the rain trickling softly down upon them Will wash away the rest of their love The warning signs were not enough That's what I get for being struck You left me with all of the shame My heart has broken from the cuffs The beats it gave were always so rough The wear and tear damaged the chains What it was, I'll never know A pretty face but what their was no show of any sign or emotion you had I guess it was me all along You are no lyrics to a song I take back every fucking word that I've said Forget about these roses in the morning They'll be dead since I left them without lungs And the rain trickling softly down upon them Will wash away the rest of their love Forget about these roses in the morning They'll be dead since I left them without lungs And the rain trickling softly down upon them Will wash away the rest of their love So, forget about these roses in the morning They'll be dead since I left them without lungs And the rain trickling softly down upon them Will wash away the rest of their love

Here's to the memories we had Cheers to forget and not feeling bad And while I'm here, I'll make a toast for just myself 'Cause I will bury you tonight
