Slogan

You want another fucking slogan? Here's a token of my affection. Songs of hope and inspiration. When all that's left is apathy. Broken dreams and worthless tears. Chase the boredom with more beer. Endless problems go unfixed Temporary solutions for being tired and sick. Or perhaps you adorn yourself with x's. Straightedge for life long obsession. Substance or not it's still an addiction. Catch the hint you're just as dependent as me. We've been drowning all these years. We've been drowning. We're still drowning. I'm still drowning. You're still drowning. So let's drown. Together.
Catch Of The Day

Sober again. The depression hits full force. No alcohol to course through my veins. Half gallon of vodka keeps me afloat. Half empty while I drown my sorrow. Drinking and fishing are a few favorite things. But with out you they wouldn't mean anything. A joyous bunch our little band of fucking thieves. We can share and steal our most essential needs. Fishing season. Haven't caught anything worth mentioning since this time last year. Fuck it we'll just eat some soup and reminisce our forgotten youth. Ride our ten speeds all night long the moonlit Mississippi. High expections in being let down. Raise your glasses to the finest spirits. To failure the second time. Raise your glasses to the finest spirits. A toast to lost friends. Goodnight and goodbye. I want to go home.
Half Empty

I see the world through a shit-stained glass. Full of nothing, emptiness. Pessimism at it's very best. Late night coffee stains and cigarettes. Loose change aspirations. Sink deep in these couch cushions. Do you know what's worse than those empty pockets? Apathetic hearts and insincere smiles. No, I can't change this world but I can change myself. At least I can try. I'll die trying. I'll go down fighting. I'll try dying.
When We Were Pirates

Swashbuckling and swords. We bow to no ones lords. Towards the sunset hallowed. We follow no longer shallow. From the rich we give to the poor. Take what we need and no more. Home is with whom you spend. Not found on sandy shores. We travel the world for treasures untold. Until our restless hearts are no longer cold. To neverland, we never grow old. Cutthroats with grins. Ear to ear, we always win. When we were pirates. A heart of gold and adamantium wit are all you need to enlist. When we were pirates.
Unsinkable Molly Brown

I know a man who sits on 112th and 8th. Watching traffic go by on an old milk crate. His hands, no one wants to shake. His face, you don't see as you pass by day by day. He shared his median. I shared a sandwhich and some chips. He gave me water. It was an even split. So we'll spend our days taking naps by the freeway. With cardboard signs. Watching cars pass by. In rich Bellevue, by far the wealthiest. Anything but easy but beautifully simplistic. Once asked him what could make this day better. "Sunshine and a smile," he said, "to match the weather."
Empty Bottles, Empty Smiles

Standing on the same ground. Only here we see eye to eye. Norse winds at my feet as we look towards the sky. For empty bottles and empty smiles will only gets you forty miles. As we stop to take a leak on the side of the road. This love story we've begun has yet to be untold. I look over at you and say, "I don't love you anymore." Then I tell you about this thing discovered in nineteen-o-four. It's sarcasm baby and you roll your eyes oh dear! Oh dear sarcasm escape from many years. Oh dear sarcasm to clean these habitual tears. So as the road ahead is known only to the gods. And the road that lays behind I'd rather feed to the dogs. And as we stand at the present rest of our lives. Yes, it's oh dear sarcasm is guaranteed a smile.
Pints of Gasoline

Cancerous we smoke our lungs black. Death a check desperately waiting to be cashed. Explosive we throw our bottles in this fire. Watch our lives pass in a flash. Is there something more than this? A plot or higher meaning that we've missed. And what of all of those that we've kissed? They fade and disappear like a starlit sky in the myst. Piss on, piss out the fire. Smothered, until the flame has died. Stomp out the embers of passion, compassion, devotion, and inspiration.
Wax Wings

I won't dive into the depths of hell. I've already visited and had my fill. Enjoy it, I'll take your word for it. And if you make it out alive. I'll give you this souvenier. Just bring back yourself my dear. In every stranger's face. I see your tired eyes. And your dying smile. Laughter that once shook walls. Now silent, deaf halls. And even though you have got to go there's something that you should know. As long as your heart has a home you will never be alone.
Romance Is Dead

We must never stop. Never give in or give up. No looking back. No time for rest or regret. Knives at throats we choke. On smoke! On lingering words we once spoke. Sing our favorite songs until the last note. Lost and forgotten. Together we lie broke. Together we lie broken. The romance is dead. We're so fragile. Broken not shattered. Fallen, falling but put back together. Another bride unwed. Who's the next in line to take us to bed? And who will find the truth behind these lies that I've said?
Still Breathing

I pedal even harder than the rain. It just pours and pours but I'm never coming clean. No matter how far I ride or drive. My shadow is still right beside me. The scent of home in the wind. Wisked back to long lost memories. What happened to them? What happened to me? The rain stops for a bit. It's reduced to a drip, drip, drip. Birds scream vibrant melodies. The sun has come out finally. The wind hits my face. Clear skies for miles. Endless rivers and trees. Winding hills, I'm flying, I'm free. Opportunity as far as the eye can see. But it's just a dream. Maybe the sun will come out tomorrow. Tomorrow's just a day away.
Ugly Duckling

A self-absorbed attention a whore. I won't sit and be ignored. My self-pity is in plenty. So don't stop to feel slightly sorry. All eyes to the front of the class. Do I have your attention yet? I don't need to be coached. I chose this approach. I killed this crew and sunk this boat. This devil always deserves what he gets. Did you think I was the safest bet? This devil always gets what he deserves. Greatest deciever, man of my word.  Endless tricks up my sleeve. From my knees I still pull the strings. This prince charming is the ugliest duckling.
This Shooting Star

Street lights and telephone wires. City streets, another drink and I'll be fine. Bolted back down to the ground. So we don't live with our heads in the clouds. Neon signs, the ambulance sounds. What will you find, when I'm not found? In the gutter, face down. I'm fine. Is it my line? Cue to care. Eye to eye, lip to lip. You call this fair? Stand in awe of my character flaws. Antagonistic, don't look too far. I exit stage left. Upstaged my best performance yet. I walk away with no regret.
19 Candles

I got your birthday list. Your best kisses and wishes come true. Blow out the candles and make a wish. When the smoke clears the siren will be your lips. We got the file and cake to make a jailbreak. The only future we have is the one that we make. And when all the critics and skeptics finally come to accept it. I guess we've never changed. Like a good book, we've always stayed the same.
First Day Of Winter

Spring rain brings summer fun. So much to get done. Fall leaves me back to the same old thing. Bonfires and food. How can we lose? Friends 'till the end. At least we can pretend. Dive in snow angels, hats, and gloves. Is there really nothing above? And even though it's dead outside. We've never felt so truly alive. Summer comes then it's gone. Winter always lasts too long. Leaves change technicolor trees. Soynog and firelogs. At the end all along. Nine below zero has frozen all our fallen heroes.
King Of Hearts

Lives filled with infinite laughter. To the death of regret we're after. Cheers to being through with avoidable tears. No more fear of failure. A dream is just a dream and I'm tired of sleeping. A reality worth living not a faux fantasy. Keep trying. Keep learning. The world keeps turning. I'm happy or I try to be. No one has ever shown me that nothing good comes easily if it's worth everything. I won't break my spine taking all the credit tonight. I hope it works out this time. I know everything will be just fine.
Iron Youth

The summer days were so bright on our youth. But to see those same bodies now filled with different souls. Neon purple lights, on electric blue nights. Now it's all changed but where did they all go? Where are they now?  Actions speak louder than words. So stand strong and let us be heard. Use your lungs, speak the truth. We are the Iron Youth! We found the chest where all our hearts are locked away. Lain with iron it's safe from pain and dismay. Simple black and white the seasons embraced our truth. Children of today and the past, demand our future back! We are the Iron Youth!
86'd

I won't play a part in your self-destruction. What exactly is your life's function? Your self respect where has it went? Replaced by pity and arrogance. Self-affliction is your addiction. Managed to make every wrong decision. Gambled every penny spent. Sold the rights to your heaven sent. Over and out, we're done, we're through. I'm going out of business with you. Can't say it's been all too nice. A thanks and goodbye is enough to suffice. Realizing all of the shit that you pulled. Did you think you had anyone fooled? Comfort in breaking hearts like the sound of shattering glass. Have your stumbling feet crumbled to ash burning from your train wrecked past? All that shit from your childhood.  Never thought you could, always knew you would get over it.  Do the years hide the lines? To this wicked nursery rhyme.  Triggered in you something negative too. I'll keep kicking this dead horse you.
Russian Roulette

I'm a shadow, I'm a ghost. Faded memories, faded notes. Letters unsent, words never meant. Beautiful blue sky put away your April eyes. Do you know what it means to truly die? There's nothing more you need to know. You feel like home. We melt, I run. Russian, loaded gun. Spinning chamber, words Roulette. Make a wager, dodging bullets. Willow trees, fireflies. DUI, you could have died. Rolling Rock in church parking lots. Salvation never felt so soft. Quarantined, doused in kerosene. Infested with scabies. Plans finalized, words cauterized. Boycotted to bon voyage. Together, who cares if we get better or sick, no antiseptic. No cure for our disease. Trust, love, and belief. Lips sewn, locked, and sealed. No secret skeletons to be revealed. We take them to our coffins to live long after the world goes rotten.
Apt 2E

Rest my head. Put these dreams to bed. Another restless night's sleep ahead. Replaced by my nightmares instead. No heat tonight just me in this cold room. In apartment complex tombs. Starving watch me turn eating my own hands. Nothing ever goes as planned. Never ending rerun. The plot runs dry. Never reached my untimely demise. Too weak to live, too strong to die. The world has passed us by. When ambition sinks low at a loss of self-control. Ashtrays start to overflow. I've been awake for days restless trying to find my way. Like a moth to the flame with only yourself to blame. Cigarettes burn through desire like butter and hot wire.
Ship Of Dreams

Sailing from the distant past. Bursts of freedom I breathe at last. Pink above the clouds I feel. Dark blue below us it's our time to heal. Fresh air, no cares, sand, mountains, and boats. Living alone and remote on an island. I feel fine and at peace. Worry free, surrounded by the sea. Thunderstorm near I turn to my captain. No fear on his face his own mind he's trapped in. He turns to me to see I am lost then faces the sky and asks, "Why at what cost?" Thunderstorm near I turn to you. We'll fight this storm, I'll see you through. Wind on my back we sail on high. We'll fight this day and win this night. This battle fresh won we sail the seven seas. We look towards the sun on this ship of dreams. Day turned to night, dark clouds to soft light. Together we ride on this ship of dreams.
