Lyrics

Dead And Gone
At the bottom of a swimming pool
I think I found a clue, I know that I'm getting closer
I'm looking for fingerprints or some sort of documents
To find the only one who made it all the way from the sun
She's gone away, I need to hear her say
"The world doesn't mean as much as you do"
Uncover the truth
You see him every day, you wish that he was me
You try to find a way to bring yourself to it
Hey, she's dead and gone away

New Disaster
Don't be that way, cuz I might be on that next train
If I get around to it
Oh no, I'm so fucking undependable
But you have to admit, it's part of my charm
Or at least I thought it was, forget I said it
I'm ready for the next train wreck, a new disaster
Cuz I'm getting good at falling down and playing dead
Don't play that game cuz I can't be held responsible
For any sort of injuries
I don't wanna hear it
She said, "You're so fucking irresistible"
As she lowered her head into her hands
I guess it happened again
A hurricane, a tornado, a forest fire
A falling piano from out of a window
Where ever she goes, pure disaster surely follows

Murderous
Can't take it from me, you can't take it from me
No, my cold dead hands are much stronger now
And no, I can't figure out what the fuck I'm still doing here
There's so many places I can be
I'm just killing time, yeah, before it kills me
Come on, at least it's a clever way to be
Get down and stay down
It's too big a hole to be diggin' out
You're too high to see the world you hated
You're so murderous, so murderous
Hold on, just listen
No, wait please listen to the sound
Seems like it's way closer now
High up on a cloud, it seems like the worst part is coming down
It's coming down
And I'm just killing time, yeah, before it kills me
Come on, at least it's an honest way to be
What better way to make yourself look good
Than the first time, yeah, than the first time
What better way to make yourself feel good
Than the second time, yeah, than the second time

Green Eyes
When she called my sneakers tennis shoes
I knew she was from the west coast
Or the best coast, like she'd say and I had to disagree
I fell in love with a ship, a vessel with at least twenty holes
Yeah, but she still floats
I fell in love with the sea, a brilliant tidal wave
And she devastated me
Come back home and bring those green eyes
When are you coming home?
I fell in love with a queen, a king
She burnt my village down
I paid her with love and taxes
I fell in love with a street sign that told me where to go
Oh, why do I go anywhere?
Come back home and bring those green eyes
When are you coming home?
Get back here cuz baby these blue eyes
Are never as bright without you
And when you called me from San Francisco
I knew you had started a new life
Without me, you're only you

I Took A Beating
I took a beating in 2003
At least I improved my threshold for pain
See my eyes swelled up and poured out blood
He spent six months just cleaning it up
The doctor said he'd stitch up the cut for me
My next beating's in two weeks
I've been taking a beating in 2004
Yeah only two months have passed by
I'm already on the floor
I took a baseball bat straight to the knees
I buckled over in the cold Brooklyn street
The same doctor helped me back to my feet
And said to me "I'll see you in two weeks"
And if I take a beating in 2005
It'll be a miracle if I'm still alive

Wasted
I finally found a way to make it go away
Make all the things I say be cleverly stated
And I move away from here and hardly ever turn my back
Backwards for miles and miles cuz I'm wasted
Maybe I, baby, I lied
But I'm much bigger than that now
I'm wakin' to your knees shakin'
The whole towns quakin' from the love we've been makin'
I'll learn to forget, it's so hard to forget
Like when that hair was wet, it's so hard to forget
Maybe I, oh baby, I lied
But I'm much bigger than that now
And no one can see that damage that we did
Are we much bigger than that now?

Always
Always breaking something
Always losing something
I'll figure it out some other day
Cuz right now I'm loosing something else
And it means so much more to me
I never admit to nothing
I'm too proud to buy my own coffin
I'll figure it out some other day
Cuz right now I'm buying something else
And it means so much more to me
Oh no, I wouldn't change a thing

This Is Dungeon Music
I'm getting real suspicious of the one I love
It's like she's bearing down
And she's way too close to my back
You're an army marching towards me
Make it fast like a bullet, I want to feel it burn through me
I feel the ground start to shake and every breath that we take
Meant so much to me and less to you
Everyone, everywhere, has their shit and I don't care
I'm merely suggesting to try to think
About the mess that you're making
Pick up the garbage cuz most of it's yours
Bring the bag outside
Come in before it pours
I feel the ground start to shake and every breath that we take
Meant so much to me and less to you
It's like you know things that I'll never know
Well I know
Sweetie, it's hard for me to stay mad
Sweetie, it's hard for me to stay so mad
Your second chances are just piling up

Symphony
You're a gallon away from drowning yourself
But I don't mind, it's what makes you you
You're a flames lick away from burning yourself
But we're not scared cuz you always bounce back
Promise me, if we both die violently
That the blood dripping from our chin is a symphony
I'm a mile away from never turning around
And living my life rolling on gas fumes
And I'm a second away from the record time
Four days spent Waiting in line
Bury me, with my giant screen TV
It's the only thing that's been faithful to me
Ryan smokes these days and Kev sleeps till four
Bob's still Superman climbing buildings
Ryan shaved his beard and Kev shaved his too
Bob's still on his phone
Promise me, if we both die violently
That the blood dripping from our chin is a symphony
And promise me, if we both live in infamy
That our statues will cast a shadow on our city

Emergency
It was one of those nights
When you make twenty phone calls just to stay alive
And you would talk to anyone
Anyone who would possibly shed some light
So I go to the hospital to look in to life support
But they don't see a thing and hurry me out the door
Emergency, such a tragedy
My throat is cut and I'm badly bleeding
Emergency, such a tragedy
My lungs are crushed, I'm barely breathing
And since we're both awake
Lets sit up and talk about the last three years
She said "I guess" and lets drink this bottle
Yeah, like it's medicine to our heads and fall asleep
We'll have headaches in the morning
Oh, I hope I don't overdose on empty promises
And beautiful pictures of the one I should have had
I couldn't possibly deal with that
Give me something, give me anything,
Just to get me through the night
Somebody help me cuz this is an emergency

Clean Up
Clean up, next day
From the tickertape parade that you threw for me
I thought I earned half-heartedly
But we both know I don't deserve a thing
Spill out my chest on to paper for a check
That we cashed too soon
Now the government is on my stoop
Awaiting documents and beating down my door
Everyone was sleeping, everyone was sad
Everything was perfect and perfect wasn't bad
Jesus Christ, I need you
I need you now
Or anyone who feels like helping out

My Second Restraining Order
Awake, awake
You've been sleeping for a week
Yeah, but does he know?
Don't worry cuz I'm sure he'll get a copy
Of the list of times I saved your life
I know exactly where I want to be
In your bed, lying dead
Would that get your attention, baby?
Awake, awake
You've been asleep for a few days now
And do you know that I've been here every day watching you?
What you do?
Scrap the plan and get my senses
Grab my bag and climb out the window
I know exactly where I want to be
In your bed, lying dead
Would that get your attention, sweetie?
Fresh cut wrists and still clenched fists
Am I messing up your sheets?
Well, I'll be gone soon
I'll be gone soon enough
You left me hanging like a noose
