Chip In

It's easier for me to see your potential than for me to see my own
and I'm too close to see and it's making it impossible
for me to help you
when I can't even help myself
but honestly I think you're overweight...ing
the time it takes to be on your own
and I think that's what's really got you down
and now I'd like to help
someone get this man a prostitute and I'll chip in
yeah we'll all chip in

Down
02:25
|
|||
|
sometimes it's a good idea to smash everything in the house
it's a good idea and the best one I've had in a while
sometimes the best way to fix something it to throw it into the ground
can you feel it now, can you feel it and can you fix it now?
but we're already down
already down already down
and we're all going, down
yeah we're already down
sometimes it's a bad idea to smash your hand into the wall
cuz a concrete wall, yeah a block wall don't give at all

RED
03:14
|

|
don't hold back and break the mirror
dance around barefoot on the broken glass
because today the'll be no more reflection
and nothing left to hold you back
leave a trail of red as you run for the door
repaint the floor because there's nothing left
break outside and run for the street
no matter how much I ran you were always faster than me
as you
run run run and stain the sidewalk red
because if you're still bleeding then you're not dead
don't look down eyes dead and ahead
running but not running away as you paint the town a new shade of red
let the rain wash away the footprints
behind you because it's time to find a new way home
as you
run run run and stain the sidewalk red
because if you're still bleeding then you're not dead
run run run and stain the sidewalk red---
because if you're still bleeding then you're not dead
scars mean you're getting stronger
you could run yeah you could run forever
but it's time to go back
your home is not a prison you can always break the glass
as you
run run run and stain the sidewalk red
because if you're still bleeding then you're not dead
run run run and stain the sidewalk red---
because if you're still bleeding then you're not dead

she loves little dogs but only dates big assholes
she believes in got just not on the weekends
she'll be going out and going down
on another guy in a another bar in a shitty part of town
somewhere in Somersworth
but maybe you think you've heard this story before
or maybe you think you know her
or maybe you are her
or maybe you just f%#@ed her
a once republican with rumors of abortions
she loves her children just not as much as her oxcontin
two for one lap dances every Friday night just to pay the rent
if only her dad had been around then the story might end different
but maybe you think you've heard this story before
or maybe you think you know her
or maybe you are her
or maybe you just f%#@ed her
she wears her faith like a worn-out t shirt
so comfortable she forgets it's there especially on the weekends

Crowded streets and shopping malls
Sleeping bags and chairs made out of walls
In an endless stream of a trickle down
This is poverty
A light to help her sleep at night
A burned out building, a castle will divide
But that's how it goes
And you'll never know
What it's like
Outside
The bells are ringing now
The voice is getting louder but it's deafening the truth
The sun is coming out
But only on one side of this one sided town
And only for the few
Sickening they try to speak
No words of wisdom for the worthless and the weak
But he calls her name
In the cold night air
How can you dream
There is no sleep
The bells are ringing now
The voice is getting louder but it's deafening the truth
The sun is coming out
But only on one side of this one sided town
And only for the few

Stop Calling Me
02:58
|
|||
|
lately I've been crazy but I guess it's all my fault
for listening to what you're saying when it don't mean anything at all
and I should have learned my lesson between the first and seventh try
but now that things are over I can't pretend like I'm surprised
cuz you asked me to forget not a simple thing to do
and now that you are back you want me to
drop everything, for you
I'm trying to get on with my life and you should too
yeah you should too
yeah you should
yeah you should too
stop calling me and asking me who's there and where I've been
who I'm seeing now and, and are we more than friends
stop stalking me just dropping by my house to catch me there
with someone cuz you know, you know things are different now
cuz you asked me to forget not a simple thing to do
and now that you are back you want me to
drop everything, for you
I'm trying to get on with my life and you should too
yeah you should too
yeah you should
yeah you should too
is this a microphone or a podium
are these lyrics of therapy
am I a singer or a psychologist
minus the degree of caring
take two of these with alcohol and don't call me in the morning
be sure to follow this prescription to a tee---
the next time you feel like calling me
you asked me to forget not a simple thing to do
and now that you are back you want me to
drop everything, for you
I'm trying to get on with my life and you should too

Bleed

is there something more to life than this
why does hell feel so complete
as you dine on booze and percocets
you watch me bleed, watch me bleed
my nightmare bride is dressed in black
the blood stained sheets and torn up photographs
tell me I am home
we're safe for now but not for long
you keep me hanging on
the memories and tragedies the hopeless pleas for sanity
and I gave up and you're alone I'll make it further on my own
on my own

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion--
Is nothing new
Flashback--warm nights--
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after--
Sometimes you picture me--
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said--
Then you say--go slow--
I fall behind--
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look--and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows--you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time--
If you're lost you can look--and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look--and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
Time after time
Time after time...
Time after time...
Time after time...
Time after time...

9 Circles
03:12
|

|
every once in a while we all like a little taste of our own hell
but don't ask my why, I would
rather kick the hornets nest than hide
and burn inside for you
cuz I'm burning down
for you
it's all for you
it's all for you
maybe heaven and hell are never
too far apart
I'm dancing around and around these 9 circles
just to burn with you
every once in a while
you are both my heaven and hell
so I ask you why, why would you
drop that match just to run and hide
instead of burning here with me
cuz I'm burning down for you
it's all for you
it's all for you
welcome to hell
welcome to your own hell
maybe heaven and hell are never
too far apart
around and around these 9 circles
just to burn with you

Over St. Augustine
03:00
|

|
I am well aware that even on my best day I will still only be on the verge of satisfaction
and I can't get me no, but you know how it goes, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa oh
always fighting with this boredom and the weather
but how long is this winter?
and whether or not I should leave this place
these friends and my family
and head south again for a tropical depression
the warmest weather but the coldest people
but driving from New Hampshire to Florida is not the best route to take
when you're going go Maine
so I'm choosing friends and family
over St. Augustine
but I bet right now there's no snow clouds
over St. Augustine
I've heard it said that you should give in and except it
stop fighting stop fighting it
but that ain't me and it never will be
fight is my, its my middle name
well it's really Bruce which is my father's name
and we're what he taught me yeah he said
"if you fall you get right back up again no matter how much it hurts you never show them" so I'm
choosing friends and family
over St. Augustine
but I bet right now there's no snow clouds
over St. Augustine
here comes that cold again but I won't let it get me
won't let it get me down
but last winter something occurred to me
there's just no getting over
no getting over---
St. Augustine

They
02:55
|

|
you're indestructible as long as you take, nothing personal
never look like they do but don't you worry, because it's all just a big commercial
stop looking outside for approval and start looking in
cuz if they're really your friends then there's no need to explain
because otherwise who the hell are they
so scared of what they'll say
but you couldn't even tell me their names
yeah who the hell are they
so scared of what they'll say
but you don't even know their names
yeah who the hell are they
things could be so perfect if you could only be yourself
sifting through those fake smiles to find one yeah just one
on that stands out
cuz they'll stab you in the back after they smile in your face
but if they're really your friends then there's no need to explain
because otherwise who the hell are they
so scared of what they'll say
but you couldn't even tell me their names
yeah who the hell are they
so scared of what they'll say
but you don't even know their names
yeah who the hell are they

well you can try and drag him down but you can't drown
no you, you can't drown a fish
rusted out cars and local bars
are training grounds for him
in four more year and he'll try again for gold
the whiskey, whiskey olympian
he went for gold
but he blacked out
swimming up stream all over town
he'll never drown
a local star and our hero at the bar
but one more drink and the games begin
cuz he's all in when he's going for gold
the whiskey, whiskey olympian
he went for gold
but he blacked out
swimming up stream all over town
he'll never drown
because
you can't drown a fish
drown a fish
he'll drink his way out of it
you can try and drag him down
but you can't drown
no you can't drown a fish
tired of the scars from broken whiskey jars
he gave it up for no one but him
proud to call him our friend but OH SHIT
there he goes again for gold
the whiskey olympian
he went for gold
but he blacked out
swimming up stream all over town
he was the best
so where's he now
back at the bar------- he'll never drown
because
you can't drown a fish
drown a fish
he'll drink his way out of it
you can try and drag him down
but you can't drown
no you can't drown a fish

Daytona
03:59
|

|
he shaved his beard into a mustache
dyed his hair and bought a motorbike
decided he was no longer sixty
then he left his son and divorced his wife
he said f%#$ off as he drove for Daytona
growing younger by the mile
he knows that no one lives forever
but he decided not to die
aviator shades and jean shorts
mustache unnaturally black
doesn't match his gray chest hair
but he doesn't really care
two days later he rolled into Daytona
drove down the beach with a big smile
sunshine young girls in bikinis
an old man on his motorbike
before he knew it he had a girlfriend
bleach blonde busted and sun-dried
she'd been chewed up and shat out
but looked good on the back of his motorbike
aviator shades and jean shorts
mustache unnaturally black
doesn't match his gray chest hair
but he doesn't really care
one day he woke up and he missed home
sick of his girlfriend and the fights
so he told her to f%#$ off
and headed north on his motorbike
now eight years had passed since he'd been home
his son had his own kids and a wife
his son would never leave them for Daytona
so he said f%#$ off to the main on the motorbike
F%#$ OFF DAD
aviator shades and jean shorts
mustache unnaturally black
doesn't match his gray chest hair
but he doesn't really care
maybe we're all destine for Daytona
maybe he just keeps that dream alive
and maybe someday when I'm sixty
I'll decide not to die
