Wastin' Daze

Probably think that I would know better by now,
after all I have been through.
Secret Service servicing secrets loud,
I wanna get back to,
a sense of normalcy before we got down.
But what does it look like?
Lights shine as I turn the car around,
get back on the turnpike.
I've been wasted all the time,
Been wastin' all my time,
Been a waste of all my time,
Been wasted my whole life.
Light a smoke as I put the car in drive,
and smash into a deer.
Sometimes wonder how I'm still alive,
I'm just happy to be here.
Blue lights shine on every fucking mile,
I'm getting pulled over,
Driving might be the last thing on my mind,
but at least I am sober.
I've been wasted all the time,
Been wastin' all my time,
Been a waste of all my time,
Been wasted my whole life.
(I've been wasted,
Wastin' my time)

Revival (Caffeine)

I got blood on my hands from knocking on wood,
I better stop before I get a splinter.
I got skin on my teeth that is getting me by,
so far I've tanned it into leather.
I've got legions of the reasons I believe in,
and all those promises that you ain't keeping,
because you don't try.
You just keep going.
Welcome to my kingdom,
where everybody glows.
Oh, wait, you're not listening,
but you already know.
Took a bath with a toaster,
now I feel all right.
Drank a whole pot of coffee,
now I'm burning bright,
I would see you in my dreams,
but I don't need sleep,
I just need some caffeine.
I got holes in my pockets where my money should go,
I'm so broke I don't need to fake it.
I got rips in my jeans and skins on my knees,
if I don't stop I'm gonna end up naked.
We've had seasons that we can't agree in,
and all those feelings that were weren't feeling,
because we don't try.
We just keep going.
Welcome to my kingdom,
where everybody glows.
Oh, wait, you're not listening,
but you already know.
Took a bath with a toaster,
now I feel all right.
Drank a whole pot of coffee,
now I'm burning bright,
I would see you in my dreams,
BUT I'LL NEVER SLEEP.
Drank a whole pot of coffee,
now I feel all right.
Took a bath with a toaster,
now I'm burning bright,
I would see you in my dreams,
but I don't need sleep,
I just need some caffeine.

Don't change your name
Keep it the same
For fear I may lose you again
I know you won't
It's just that I am unorganized
And I want to find you when
Something good happens
If you come down
We'll go to town
I haven't been there for years
But I'd be fine
Wasting our time
Not doing anything here
Just doing nothing
We'll sit for days
And talk about things
Important to us like whatever
We'll defuse bombs
Walk marathons
And take on whatever together
Whatever together
Whatever together
Whatever together
Whatever together
Whatever together

The Joys of Being Dead

Has anybody told you,
your pretty pretty for a boy,
YOU WANT IT, YOU GOT IT.
Your bags are packed,
and you're headed out for a war.
YOUR BRAIN IS CANNON FODDER.
Everybody wants to get a little piece of you.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
(Disconnect your human heart replace it with a program)
You, your out of my mind,
Get out of my head.
You don't know the joys of being dead.
You, you know I thought,
I know what you said.
You don't know the joys of being dead.
(Algorithm feels alright it gets you to the weekend)
Has anybody told you,
your pretty pretty for a girl,
YOU WANT IT, YOU GOT IT.
Your daddy went and he gave you the whole world.
WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH IT?
Everybody wants to get a little piece of you.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
Do they want you or just a little piece of it?
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
(Dig yourself a fancy grave and let the symptoms sink in)
You, your out of my mind,
Get out of my head.
You don't know the joys of being dead.
You, you know I thought,
I know what you said.
You don't know the joys of being dead.
You, your out of my mind,
Get out of my head.
You don't know the joys of being dead.
You, you know I thought,
I know what you said.
You don't know the joys of being dead.
Disconnect your human heart replace it with a program,
algorithm feels alright it gets you to the weekend.
Rusted brain, you feel the drain, the grey matter is leaking,
dig yourself a fancy grave and let the symptoms sink in

Cold Front

We get some time to spend the day together,
I want to play outside in nasty weather.
Love that weather, oh yeah.
You say that you just want to make it better,
and I say "don't forget to pack a sweater."
Pack a sweater, oh yeah.
We've been told what is gold,
what is bought and what is sold.
If I don't dream before we get old,
I'll get left out in the cold.
We get some time to spend the day together,
We use or minds to sort the lace from leather,
Mixed together, oh yeah.
If you ask me the cold was out to get her,
So I loaned her all my favorite sweaters,
now we're together,
forever,
oh yeah.
We've been told what is gold,
what is bought and what is sold.
If I don't dream before we get old,
I'll get left out in the cold.

Tedious / Brief

Tedious:
Is this how it begins?
These means are to an end,
we could have seen it coming.
Does no good to stay,
we'll try to find a way,
maybe that's why we're running.
So smile and pull the pin,
you know you'll always win.
Baby, it's time to blow this all apart.
I'm so tired, wish I couldn't dream,
because your haunting me.
I'm awake again it seems.
So exhausted I could fucking cry,
but the well's run dry.
Tedious work to get to sleep,
and the rest is brief.
Where the fuck's your conscience?
Does it even exist?
It's a ghost, I guess.
Another moving shadow,
being chased through the mist,
that I can't catch on choppy seas.
I'm so tired, can't make it outside,
Why does the sun seem so bright these days?
So exhausted I could fucking die,
is that a possibility?
Tedious work to get to sleep,
and the rest is brief.
Brief:
And I know that you know by the look on your face.
And I know that you wouldn't because you couldn't anyway,
And I'm never ever ever gonna see you again,
And I'm never going to tell them that you were my friend.
