Was That It?

was that really the end of the world?
if it was i'm feeling a bit ripped off
i was expecting guns blazing, volcanoes
and locusts would've been a nice touch
was that really how it all ends?
if it was, then fuck it, i won't pretend
i'm not at all impressed by
these cheap pyrotechnics
my perspective stands
i could've used a bit more
i've read books and i've seen moving
pictures, theories not worth proving
scriptures say, "come, fear today"
in my arms love, you'll be okay
i'll love you til the end
but when it comes lets just be friends
my loves your shot
it never misses
but melted faces can't give kisses
i'll show you armageddon
i'll make you wish you never
waited for the day the skies turned red
we walk the streets of hell
amongst the living dead
and the u.s.s. enterprise with christ on board
made it's last stop at earth for the children of the lord
but not you
you took a few too many quaaludes in the eighties
got coked out, had a few babies out of wedlock
and normally i wouldn't give a fuck
but one of your bastard sons
beat the shit out of a good friend just for fun
gave him a lovely little concussion
on the front of his head
three comatose days in a hospital bed
came to the first thing that he said
was "hells comin for you, josh boyd
prepare to feel gods wrath"
turns out the dude really does hate sabbath
so if livin my life in sin is a sin then you win
take me in, take the grenade away but leave the pin
take your paper thin evidence and make mass copies
wipe thoroughly and don't get sloppy
this is apocalypse don't make it look all photoshoppy
skeletons and demons are a must and
some coffee would be nice....
i'll show you armageddon

she's leavin on a plane on wednesday
to take that trip that we had planned
she leaves again in a couple tuesdays
for college life in old san fran
and i'd be lying if i said that messy breakup shit
didn't leave me kickin myself for wasted
i'm not as sappy as she might think i am by now
but i'll probably always wish that she were mine
so go, find yourself
i'd say it's about time
i think you'll like you will find
sometimes i've felt like i have
almost found you too
takes a bit of work but i don't mind
you don't have to say a word
just nod if you feel a fraction of what i do
whether it's the love or it's regret
for stupid things we said
just let me sit on the same page as you
i'd love to kiss you right now
if that said kiss could show you
how much happiness i wish for you
i think about you every day
don't believe in god but i still pray
that happiness involves me too
sometimes i think you don't know
how special you are
and that's the biggest crime
this world's done by you or me
i wish you could see
yourself through my eyes
as you say goodbye
and you take to the sky

Mutant Boy

the clouds are painted on the sky like a disneyland ride
and i'm dying tonight
but i will not make a peep as i pass on in the back seat
if it's god's way it's euthanasia it's okay
and who would i be to complain
this world's unfit for the insane
i'm not a monster i've just never been clued in
don't tell anyone, but i've got a secret now
i know what i want in this world but i don't know how
cause mutant boy's got half a man
and half a child inside his head
i do stupid things
like associate a face with words that cry
i'm trying to know you when i never can
i don't know why i do exactly what i do
and everytime i say i'm through
i'm a little lost but i'm not a lost cause
and if i keep it to myself
no one can fault my mental health
i'm just the least desirable toy on your shelf
so many ways i have fucked up this recipe
i love when you get baked why don't you help me?
it could be good, and it should be good
i just want one taste of your sweet sweet food
do me a favor, don't listen to me
just listen to my mix cd
if i rub you the wrong way, here's what i meant to say
but someone said it better before me

Never One to Disappoint
03:31

don't let the halo fool you
don't let these wings let your guard down
i'm in a better place now
but i've still got my issues with you
it's true
you've never had your routine down to a t
i see, i see straight through
you can't pull those old tricks on me
my current state of bliss
puts me at risk of being numb
but i hate to disappoint you
so fear the man who always smiles
i did til i became him
admire my charity, it's quite the rarity
boy what do you think it is you're doing
with that wool in your hand?
father forgive me for these words of rage
i'm just trying to fill the page
and your broken invention pissed me off
my fields are green and my rivers they run
but my asshole neighbors having fun
at my expense and i just cannot let it stand

Crucifixxx

a far cry from the native tongue she shunned
when petite feet touched soil
a land of promised opportunity
we chase our drinks with oil
so twirl and spin and sin
they'll take you for a dance and tip you well
hell, it's a living but it's giving her a migraine
time will tell if her soul can withstand
the overwhelming demand
even when they wash their grubby hands
she can't stand the lack
of class, couth and tact
patrons play the whores
pay to lie on their backs
and i wish i could overcome the filth
but i love watching her sin myself
shes so much better than this
but i still give it an innocent glimpse
keep my head low cause inside a tongue wags
drop dollar bills to keep picking my scabs
i'm so much better than this
and if i die 'fore i cease to exist
i will just pray that my hormones
count less than my heart
strip off my guilt and go back to the start
she looks just like she loves the stage
and i look like i caught the plague
i'm glad i'm not addicted
my libido's too conflicted
the beast inside stays satisfied
and i needed a night off anyway
if only i could objectify her
my prick wouldn't crucify me

Your Lazy Son
04:37
|

|
sunken eyes, puffy cheeks
once proud, now meek
whipped into submission
wheres the nuclear fission in your step?
the chemical went down so sweet
til you came tumbling after with your head over feet
now you're always confused
there's a whole world to bruise
on the outside of your head
your lazy sun is going down on you
explicate-- i wanna know
when and how you got so old
and where you are right now don't mean a thing
cause all you do is smoke and drink
and twitch and bitch and rarely think
you're giving getting fucked up a bad name
life is shit but it tastes so sweet
you're not living you're admitting defeat
there's balls to be grabbed, good times to be had
there's people to meet and they aren't all bad
so get off of the couch and get out of your head
you can get high inside but go outside instead
the world's gonna end but the day is not yet
and if it's today come and watch the sun set

Like Friends Pt. 1

do you want to know me?
do you want me as a friend?
if not, stop me before i do it again
i sell myself on loyalty
and always being there
but i gave those to a friend once
and she didn't really care
i can't promise that i'll know what to say
sometimes my stupid head controls my mouth
cause my smart head's off somewhere else pickin daisies
to give to you when your day is going south
do you want to know me?
do you want me in your corner til the end?
if not, stop me before i do it again
i'll give you all that i can of me
even if it's not enough
but i gave it to a friend once
and she didn't give a fuck
can't promise that i won't fall for you
but if i do it's not the end of the world
i'll try real hard to make you happy
i'm the king of fuckin up with girls like you
i blew it with you
i didn't know what to do
you never gave me a clue
if i get attached to you let me know what not to do
when you hold my hand understand
it means the world to me
and i would do anything
just to keep your hand in mine
but to act on impulse is a crime
when the rationale is mine
i lost a friend that i did not want to lose
and in the good days she reminded me of you
i can't promise you that i'll be the perfect guy
but if you want what i got i will try

Drunk on a Dream
07:39

a dream is a scheme that your brain makes
to escape the toll the day takes
what does it mean? thats the thing
why do we question this unreal dimension?
its not our jobs to decode such things
all we gotta do is just dream
asking why your brain goes
where your brain goes at night's
like why there's so many
songs about rainbows you might
find an answer
there's a million out there claimin to know
but i'd rather keep on searchin for rainbows
some nights i'm riding flying horses
i'm on top of the world
other nights i find myself in an emotional whirl
but that girl ain't gonna be there when i wake
so i'll enjoy my one night stand, it's not fake
when i dream, its a scheme that my brain makes
to escape the toll the day takes
what does it mean? thats the thing
i never question my subconscious intentions
it's not my way to pick apart these things
it's just my habit to dream
it's like when i'm drunk when i sleep
a sweet confusion fills my mind
then i realize i'm a wizard in some medieval time
fear no man, fear no nightmare, fear no dragon
fear no waking life saddled with some scary baggage
don't know what's real and what's not
like a nice surrealist film
you can take it as inkblots
tellin you how you really feel
i don't understand why some people toss and turn
wait til the day comes to let your fire burn
right now just dream
it's a scheme that your brain makes
to escape the toll the day takes
what does it mean? thats the thing
i could care less, if i did i'd be so stressed
i'm falling further down the rabbit hole
give me my motherfucking pillow let's go
numbers on the clock swirl
hey remember that girl?
you never got her number but she's there
in your fake world
along with all the friends you haven't seen in a while
and they're checking out your spacesuit
yeah they really like your style
and your favorite bands are playing at your favorite local club
and they put you on the guest list
and they're hoping you show up
you can drive or you can fly there
baby it's your choice to make
why are you still awake?
