Slip n’ slide, this roller coaster ride,
Has got me in a fright,
Twist and turn, I got my heart to burn,
And I’m afraid of heights,
Although my ride’s with you,
I gotta pay my dues,
And hold on,
With you.
I see the lights, they are awfully bright,
It makes me go insane,
They’re blinding me, and all I can see,
Are shadows of my brain,
So I can reflect my mind,
Despite the lights that pierce inside,
And hold on,
With you.
I try to see it through,
And days have passed,
And all I see is you,
As I fall off my high,
I turn from stars,
But I can’t say goodbye,
Can’t stand this ball and chain,
It cuts my wires and circuits from the mainframe,
As I can’t escape this dame.
I don’t know why my heart can’t fly,
Despite the way we died,
Its wings are seared by lightning tears,
There’s trouble in the skies,
But as long as I live and breathe,
My heart and mind will carry me,
And hold on,
With you.
I try to see it through,
And days have passed,
And all I see is you,
As I fall off my high,
I turn from stars,
But I can’t say goodbye,
Can’t stand this ball and chain,
It cuts my wires and circuits from the mainframe,
As I can’t escape this dame.
And I’m going insane,
Trying to pick a path to take,
My story’s mundane,
But even demons have their time to break,
As all hell breaks loose,
My thoughts will kill me; I don’t need a noose,
But if I do won’t you tie it loose for me.
My final test, no time to rest,
‘Cause trouble’s in the air,
I wear my shoe, one sock and a boot,
Just catch me if you dare,
Even though it’s you I allude,
Even death is scared of what I’ll do,
So hold on,
With you.
I try to see it through,
And days have passed,
And all I see is you,
As I fall off my high,
I turn from stars,
But I can’t say goodbye,
Can’t stand this ball and chain,
It cuts my wires and circuits from the mainframe,
As I can’t escape this dame.
I try to see it through,
And days have passed,
And all I see is you,
As I fall off my high,
I turn from stars,
But I can’t say goodbye,
Can’t stand this ball and chain,
It cuts my wires and circuits from the mainframe,
As I can’t escape this dame.

They say "keep your head on your shoulders"
Maybe i'm just jaded and older
Each year can only get so much shorter
her touch can only get so much colder
I’d feel worse If I blamed you
So I’d better blame myself
THIS IS MY NEW THRILL
eat, work and sleep
wake up alone, repeat YEAH!
I WONT MAKE IT BIG
I ain't writing hits
she won't end up with me
She said "just wait for me a bit longer"
Just like a sucker I waited and waited and waited and
They said "just move on to another"
I’m sick of another and other and other and other and
I’d feel worse If I blamed you
So I’d better blame myself
THIS IS MY NEW THRILL
eat, work and sleep
wake up, alone, repeat YEAH!
I WONT MAKE IT BIG
I ain't writing hits
she won't end up with me
I’d feel worse If I blamed you
So I’d better blame myself
I’d feel lame if I flamed you
So I’d better touch myself

It’s really hard when everyday I’m feeling scarred,
I realize it’s not so easy,
And now I feel so queasy,
This hangover will be the death of me.
Days have passed and yet my feelings seem to last,
And everyday it’s getting harder,
So I’ll fill up my bladder,
‘Cause losing her brings on this tendency.
So pass me a drink,
And I will start to sink,
And I’ll try not to think,
About her anymore.
And I’ll just let alcohol,
Take the fall,
‘Cause I really can’t do this at all,
And alcohol,
Will heal my wounds,
Feel a little better when I consume,
Alcohol,
Will be my friend,
Never leave my side; with me ‘til the end,
And alcohol,
Will help me forget the fall, oh,
Cause I’d rather be drunk than nothing at all.
Every day I’m stumblin’ and mumblin’,
Tellin’ all my friends of how my life is tumblin’,
I’ll never win, so I’ll drink gin,
And when I’m drinkin’, inside I am weepin’.
It’s hard to cope when all I do is mope,
So I’ll get drunk, fuck whores, and smoke dope,
It’s much better than tying up a rope,
Least my rum gives me a little hope.
So pass me a drink,
And I will start to sink,
And I’ll try not to think,
About her anymore.
And I’ll just let alcohol,
Take the fall,
‘Cause I really can’t do this at all,
And alcohol,
Will heal my wounds,
Feel a little better when I consume,
Alcohol,
Will be my friend,
Never leave my side; with me ‘til the end,
And alcohol,
Will help me forget the fall, oh,
Cause I’d rather be drunk than nothing at all.
*SOLO*
Fill me up, fill me up, fill me up, oh,
Fill me up, fill me up, fill me up,
Oh, oh.
Another cup, another cup, another cup, oh,
Another cup, another cup, another cup,
Oh, oh.
Another shot, ‘nother shot, ‘nother shot, oh,
Another shot, ‘nother shot, ‘nother shot,
Oh, oh.
Hit the floor, hit the floor, hit the floorboards,
Hit the floor, hit the floor, hit the floor,
Oh, oh.
And I’ll just let alcohol,
Take the fall,
‘Cause I really can’t do this at all,
And alcohol,
Will heal my wounds,
Feel a little better when I consume,
Alcohol,
Will be my friend,
Never leave my side; with me ‘til the end,
And alcohol,
Will help me forget the fall, oh,
Cause I’d rather be drunk than nothing at –
ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
AHHHHHHHHHHHH
YEAH YEAH YEAH With me ‘til the end,
And alcohol will help me forget the fall,
Cause I’d rather be drunk than nothing at all.
Alcohol.
Alcohol.
Cause I’d rather be drunk than nothing at all.

“Farewell, my friend
And please send postcards from abroad”
Those words rang in my head
As the time came for me to go
That single week
Went on for almost a whole month
A broken home
Was left from all I used to know
Panic attacks became
The night time usual
With those recurring dreams
Watching my best friends drown
“It ain’t that bad” I thought
As I was up in the clouds
I thought we’d meet again
Somewhere, somehow
Oh, Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh
Now I know that I won’t be eighteen again
Oh, Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh
Now I know that I won’t be eighteen again
So I arrived
And the first days were just passing by
It was an endless wait
For something to catch on fire
And so she changed
And I was forced to walk away
It’s not like we had
Much to lose anyway
Met other girls
But I was to jaded to go through
Another one night stand
This one’s out to me and you
Personal goals
Are now my top priority
Never had so much time for myself
Never been alone with me
And after all
I am happy
I ain’t got much
I am a lonely man
But that’s okay
I’m now at peace
I know my place
Faulty puzzle piece

Catastrophe

Sleep won’t come to me tonight,
I’m stuck thinking of how I am never right,
My restrictions never seem to control my life,
These depictions of who I am, I know they’re not quite right.
I think of all the mistakes that I have ever made,
Every stupid choice, every game that I have played,
Am I an idiot or am I just afraid,
I think it’s time for me to change.
There is addiction,
And then there is sacrifice,
Things never turn out as you plan,
Simple addition,
It will show you the price,
It’s time for me to be a man.
Temptations leave me broken and confused,
Despite the pleasure from each substance that I’ve used,
I’ve been given hearts, but each one I’ve misused,
Call me names, please rape me with each sentence I’ve been accused.
Despite the noble feelings that I hold inside,
Each loving thought that I have chosen to hide,
My reputation just refuses to die,
But it’s my fault, for each action I’ve decided.
There is addiction,
And then there is sacrifice,
Things never turn out as you plan,
Simple addition,
It will show you the price,
It’s time for me to be a man.
I’m getting tired of this game,
Every time it just ends the same,
How you deal with catastrophe,
Is how you know exactly who you can be.
I think of all the mistakes that I have ever made,
Every stupid choice, every game that I have played,
I was an idiot but now I’m not afraid,
I think it’s time for me to change.
There is addiction,
And then there is sacrifice,
Things never turn out as you plan,
Simple addition,
It will show you the price,
It’s time for me to be a man.

I wake up at 6am, Sunday morning
Our warmth has left the room, oh! Did they notice?
How we stumbled through the night,
Halfway to nowhere but past cloud nine
As we got carried away,
did they hear you say my name?
Sidewalks around town, they’re so broken and worn down
Cuz I’ve been dragging my feet all fucking year round
Felt useless and alone, spent all my nights at home
How did I let things get so bad? I didn’t know I was so sad
Our tongues, your touch, my breath, your smile
You whispered “gentle… FASTER NOW!”
Your legs, my hands, your voice, our sweat
Holding you throughout the night
We both agreed to scratch it off,
I wasn’t there, you weren’t there
But I swear, the way you looked, I just can’t resist
Drunk nights! Love nights!
I watch these bruises fade away
Through every color, every shade
Cuz they never felt so good!
As the way they do right now
You built me up, just like a child
And I’m waiting, waiting, for the next time
It was already about time, to climb out of this rut
Now with every single step I take I’m keeping my head up
Went from two years sober, to drunk every week
Glad to know that shit is over, I can start to live for me
