All We Know 02:30
Nothing brings me down like the sight of my hometown Where I don’t think anyone’s like me The happiness they’re craving enough to steal it from a neighbor I could be wrong but I don’t think it’ll ever change I guess it was meant for me to live and die in small town streets Am I in the wrong to want something better? Lately I’ve been dreaming of something a little different I can’t wait to leave it all behind Where do we go? Does anybody know? Where do we go when this is all we know? Wake up every day to a job you hate I know how it feels to live on minimum wage Our days bring us no surprise When it’s nine to five do or die I can’t wait to leave it all behind

Boy you could be more than what you are I’ve heard it all my life But I’m not the kind that weighs happiness In nickels and dimes I’m too damn young to care what you think Too damn old to ever change I hate to say, the harder you try The more I stay the same Hey don’t you know, punk rock don’t sell no more You’re wasting your time Well, that’s fine There’s something I’ve always known All the greatest things you will never find at your local record store

Staring up at the sun from the bottom of the sea I can’t believe the clarity Or what length we’ll go to To find solitude That means peace and quiet, at last I think I’ll take my last deep breath If you’re out of touch I’m out of time I’ll find my new home Here by the way side If you wait too long I’ll be gone I’ll find my brand new home Here by the way side Staring up at the sun from the bottom of the sea I can’t believe the clarity Or what length we’ll go to To find solitude There’s something inside me, screaming ‘Somebody throw me a line’

Too South 03:04
Can’t think ‘cause the TV’s on Can’t pay the rent, but the TV’s on What is the source of my frustration? There’s no more programs for this broadcast station Am I out of my heart? Am I broke in the head? I know my love’s not dead I’m the best at giving in before I begin A hospital visit to make me feel fine A short trip, not to fix my mind The over-paid are making my decisions (Please step aside, I can’t see the television)
5.
I’m polluted You’re disappointed that I’m picking back up on bad habits I don’t know if I’m giving up on my life I’m tired of wasting all my time searching for words that rhyme Everything changes, so I’ll wait and see If everything changes in my life, it will be my only guarantee I’m in a hole I’ve lost self-control The glass isn’t half empty I’ve drank it dry and threw it out a fucking window But on I go One small step at a time Because in present condition It’s as fast as I can go

Lip Service 02:08

I’m waiting for dinosaurs to die out During this wait, I might lose myself As time goes by, I slip a bit I’m ready to say fuck all of it and dive head first into the crowd I’m better than anyone I know At doing all the things the world hates the most We’re all searching for a meaning. How do you describe a feeling? I don’t know. Whoah.

Kerosene 02:23
The jump and flicker of your flame lives in me You dance and smile, shine with glee. It seems to last forever until I rise from dirt and ash, with heavy eyes Kerosene will keep me warm Just one match to set me free Kerosene will keep me warm It’s getting cold, I need you here with me The snow is so deep, the nights are so long. Without you here, this all feels wrong One day at a time and I’ll make it through With frost-bitten fingers, I miss you

Today I couldn’t find my favorite shirt I threw it out years ago Today I couldn’t find my car I think it was towed I don’t understand or comprehend why I’m stuck back then Was it better? It was better If I believe that, it must be so Oh I can’t, I can’t remember to forget Forget today Oh I can’t, I can’t remember to forget Forget today My key wouldn’t fit in my front door Was I evicted? Today I’ve lost my sanity for sure I don’t comprehend or understand why I’m stuck back then Was it better? It was better If I believe that, it must be so
