I think I'll start cutting down people. Just chop 'em down like trees. But at least trees are nice to look at. People are ugly..
(and) on the inside. They do ugly things. They're not nice to talk to. They're no good to me.
While grinding my teeth on a park bench. Shots ringing out in my head. I don't mean to seem so vacant, but you're boring yourself to death.
I'm not a nice guy, but I think I used to be. Hey, whatever happened to the kid I used to be?
We've come a long way from living in caves, but how did it come to this? Everywhere I go they're building homes with nowhere to really live.
We've come a long way from living in caves, but I'm not sure that we should have. So just say it once. I won't think twice, and I'll take us back.

Scraped Knee

Well "Don't know" and "Don't care" seem to be the only thing on your mind when I want to speak. And I remember everything because I kept my head clear in those days. I guess we place importance in different things.
Well don't be so naive. Everyone will do what they please. And you don't know anything. Just keep telling yourself that you're one who's figured it out.
Well time is a funny thing. It cheats you out when you're having fun, but misery drags on and on. Now going back sounds comforting. To a time when a scraped knee was the only thing that worried me.
We'll maybe meet again someday. And maybe by then you'll change. With time to think and grow up. But I'll always..
Be too naive. And everyone will do what they please. And I won't know anything. I'll just keep telling myself "Your the one who's figured it out".

Another Year

I'd ask if you were dreading this countdown as much as me, but you're somewhere else. There's not much to "Ring in". No screaming crowds here. I'll just count to myself.
Celebrating, being happy, about another year coming my way just doesn't seem to make much sense anymore.
You don't have to tell me that it gets better, it just makes you sound like one of those people who look on the bright side. I hope it burns your eyes.
Celebrating, being happy, about another year coming my way just doesn't seem to make much sense anymore.

Vegan Cookbook

I'm glad I never bought you that vegan cookbook. It would've sat on the shelf next to me in your head.
And we would always talk a lot, but now we're just talking shit. And I don't know what happened to you. But you can go be yourself, far away from here.
I'm glad I never got caught up in your stupid drug games. I would've sat on the bench next to you at your court dates.
And you used to have so much to say, now just fucking talking a lot. And I don't know what happened to you. But you can go be yourself, far away from here.
I'm glad I never bought you that vegan cookbook.

Get in line, to see the way you've taught me how everyone lies. A quarter to 9:00 is just way too late to call me with more friends who might have died.
And I know that once or twice may be fine. But you should know, tonight's the night. Here's to more bad times, to pass the time.

You said this wasn't gonna happen again. But here we are. Just look at us now. We're at it again.

With everybody dying while I'm drifting off to sleep, it's no wonder that I wake up lonely. You can tell a lot by the contents of a fridge, mine's either full of shit or it's empty.
But I've been starting to get up early for work.
It's hard to get along with all the people that I meet because the people that I meet are always like you. And I had an awful day, I guess I mean an awful week. But that turned into months, now I'm nothing like you.
And I've been starting to get up early for work.

Get off My Lawn

We go and spend our money on things we need not be concerned with when I just want to talk to you. And we go and listen, honey, to things we need not be concerned with when I just want to talk to you.
People never say anything worth saying. I clench my teeth as I hope they think I'm listening. People never think through anything these days. I clench my teeth as we leave the house today.
As we go and spend our money on things we need not be concerned with when I just want to talk to you. And we go and listen, honey, to things we need not be concerned with when I just want to talk to you.
People always say the dumbest shit these days. I roll my eyes as I wish I wasn't listening. People never think through anything these days. I rack my slide as we leave the house today.
As we go and spend our money on things we need not be concerned with when I just want to talk to you. And we go and listen, honey, to things we need not be concerned with when I just want to talk to you.

Just Like a Creep
02:28

A "super" philosophy: get close to no one. Live my life just like a freak. Try my damn best to avoid the sun. Won't let it catch up to me. No one is safe and no one is getting out. But that's only in all of my dreams. As for now I'll just cringe and get along, until it's caught up to me.
My wisdom teeth keep forcing their way into my mouth, like all these ugly thoughts I've tried to keep down. Like all the times that I've killed you, over and over in my head. It never gets any easier, but you always wind up dead.

I hope this fog never clears, so I don't see this place anymore. I hope it hangs around for years, so I don't run into you anymore.
It's sick. Gets in your head and sits. Let's hope it doesn't stick.
Stay awake. I might stay awake for you. because you don't really know if that's him, because he doesn't look the same. And you're not really sure if that's me, because I haven't been the same. But not that you'd remember.
I saw your house the other day, but it didn't look the same. It's not because it had changed, but the change was inside me.
It's sick. Gets in your head and sits. Let's hope it doesn't stick.

If you can get used to the sound of the sirens, then you can get used to anything.
But it's you now that I can't get used to.
If you can make use of your tools and your violence, then you can take care of anything. If you can make use of all your tools and your violence, then you can get rid of anything.
But it's you now that I can't get used to.
If this goes on..
If you can get used to the sound of the sirens, then you can get used to anything. If you can make use of all your tools and your violence, then you can get rid of anything.
But it's you now that I can't get used to. And it's you now that I can't get used to. And on you now my violence will be used. It's on you now my violence will be used.
Until it's gone. 'Till it's all gone. Until it's gone. Until you're gone.

The Way Things End

It always seems like whether it's a movie, or an album, or a friendship, or a friend, I always seem to hate the way things end.

Song Against Humanity

I looked around today, and all I saw were awful things. This is more than hate, there's no earthly name. I'd sleep the days away, but I'm always wide awake. A human shape, but no human traits.
Maybe this place isn't so bad, it's just all the people who crowd it.
What doesn't kill you will make you wish it had. I kinda like the sound of that. Don't tell me that "It's not so bad".
You let me down today, and this disappointment is gonna stay. And you're all to blame, while I fixate. I just stared ahead today, because there's nothing left to say. And tonight I'll pray for tidal waves.
Maybe this place isn't so bad, it's just the fucking people who crowd it.
What doesn't kill you will make you wish it had. I kinda like the sound of that. Don't tell me that "It's not so bad".

Back in High School

Locked away in my room, I'm plotting my revenge. I swear to God I'll make 'em all pay one day. They'll all be sorry.
'Cause I swear it feels like I'm back in high school. All I do is hate, I'm angry, I stay up late.
Locked away in my room, I'm plotting my revenge. I swear to God I'll make 'em all pay one day. They'll all be sorry. But it never goes much farther than a far-fetched plan that I'd never get away with.
'Cause I swear it feels like I'm back in high school. All I do is hate, I'm angry, I stay up late.

Up on Hillcrest
02:56
|

|
I always think about the time when we kept your neighbor's dog from getting into mischief, that's when we became the Scuba Squad.
Now I'm gonna miss you when I drive up on Hillcrest. And I'm gonna miss you when it's cold enough to see my breath. And I'm gonna miss you when I scare somebody half to death. I'm gonna miss you.
I always think about the time when we played D&D. But we never made it very far because all you "good" and "neutral" never trusted me. Now I'm gonna miss you if I ever roll those dice again. And I'm gonna miss you whenever I watch "Revenge". And I'm gonna miss you every time that album ends. I'm gonna miss you.
I always think about the time when we shot your .22lr suppressed off my apartment balcony, and the neighbors had no clue. Now I'm gonna miss you whenever I see that gun. And I'm gonna miss you when I'm Red Bull and vodka drunk. And I'm gonna miss you every time I start to have fun. I'm gonna miss you.
For Chris Stone, Tyler Hadley, and Chris Tracz, respectively.
