1. Roller Coaster
Terror and fun combined…
A steady climb, A swift decline…
I lost my mind…
I travel back in time…
A magic ride you’re mine…
Our locked lips kiss beneath the moon…
listen! Can you hear the sound?
The sound of sound is all around, I feel my guts up in my ears…
If it didn’t mean anything then why do you act so weird around me?
And why do I act like I’m running from you?
There’s tension inside your stare, we’re killing ourselves pretending nothing was there
I’m locked up, lips shut, turn blue…
I can’t talk and I can’t sleep!
I can’t do much of anything…
I can’t walk and I can’t breath…
Up and down up and down again…
My life’s a roller-coaster ride…
Earthbound for the holiday.
2. Attack Of The Killer Kiss
Beware!
Look out!
A monster’s living in this house!
Heads up!
Watch out!
Don’t want to be turned inside out!
I think she knows what I’m singing about…
She makes me sweat until I’m wearing a towel…
I turn to jelly when her tongue’s in my mouth…
My hair stands on ends…
I’m all screwed up again…
My blood is getting thin and I’m so dizzy…
I called in sick again…
Won’t hangout with my friends…
I’m kissing my girlfriend and I’m ten feet off the ground…
Warning!
Time out!
Don’t wanna have a disaster!
Danger!
I’ll pass out if my heart beats any faster!
I think she knows what she does with her lips…
She knows she’s got me in a hell of a grip…
I can’t escape the grasp of her killer kiss…
I can’t shake off this grin…
Saliva on my chin…
My head is in a spin and I can’t stand up…
I live in lovely sin…
Getting way too thin…
I’m kissing my girlfriend and I’m ten feet off the ground…
I’m kissing you…
I’m kissing you…
I’m kissing you…
I’m kissing you…
ATTACK! My chest is full of phlegm…
I’m short of oxygen…
I need some mini thins just to slow me down…
I’m behind on my rent…
All of my money spent…
I’m kissing my girlfriend and I’m ten feet off the ground.
3. Youth Anthem #9
“stay in line, straighten up
and take the garbage out!
Keep your feet off my new couch!
Your hair is a mess!
I can’t believe the shape of your room is in!
I’ve got a mind to slap your mouth!”
Mom and dad are driving me insane
They’re just hypnotized by bad T.V.
Mom and dad are driving me insane.
I’ve had a better time in my bad dreams.
“turn it down!
Turn it off!
How can you stand that shit?!?
You better find yourself a job today!
I think you need another trip to the psychiatrist.
He’ll fix what we broke in your brain!”
Mom and dad are driving me insane.
They’re hypnotized by bad T.V.
Mom and dad are driving me insane.
I’ve had a better time in my bad dreams.
“I’ve had it up to here with you”
Mom and dad don’t give me anything that’s worth a shit.
I’m sick of it
I’m going to quit
I’m leaving today.
4. Punchline
I keep a list inside my head
of everything you’ve done and said
You’re getting closer to the end
So many chances will
I give until you use up my last forgive
You’re just about to lose a friend
I still remember saving you
from mom and dad’s sadistic rules
Your dad was looking down a gun
He said that he’d blow off my head
Your grabbed your things and quickly left
Our hell together had begun
We’ve been starving, cold, and broke,
the punchline of life’s endless joke,
tonight I crown you as my queen
You’re staying with me through thick and thin
I want to see your gorgeous grin
Tonight I’ll prove I’m not so mean
Don’t cry tonight
5. Toughman
I want to write a good song
But all the good songs are all gone
I want to be a romantic
But my poetry is off
I want to live a day of my life without worrying about what I did wrong
I’m an awful kisser but you’ve never told me so
I’m working on my temper never meant to hurt you so
It’s not me it never was
It’s just strong works I used so I’d look tough
I want to write a letter like the letters on my fist
I want to do better, twice as good but half as pissed
I want to live a day of my life without worrying about cheering you up
I’m a lousy dancer but you’ve never seemed to care
Sometimes I’m just a bastard stinking up your favorite chair
It’s not me
It never was
It’s just strong words I used so I’d look tough
I know we started on a sour note
Stay underground or break the soil and grow
The smallest weed knows
6. The Whole Enormous Sadness Of A Shirt
There was frost in my hair
There was fire in your stare and the air was so sharp
I grew an inch in a day
We were so far away as we played on the dock
There was ice on the waves
There was sun on your face though the day was so cold
You said your life wasn’t yours
You said you couldn’t afford the thought of being alone
We danced to close to the edge
We knew we both couldn’t swim
then you tripped and fell in
I reached my hand out to you
You were sinking times two
Nothing that I could do
I watched the last bubble rise
I saw your last breath of life dissipate out of sight
And when I go to bed at night
I wear the shirt you died in
And in my dreams we’re swimming
hand in hand in warm blue water.
7. Paper Snow
There’s a dying rose I found upon a mound of broken ground
Your bones are all the proof that you were here
You were so dear
Dear, there’s a memory,
a scratched C.D.
that plays inside of me
Sometimes it never stops
But time to time it just won’t play at all
There’s an empty flask I drank and drank,
no money in the bank
A task I used to find so nice so good
has ruined me for good
There’s another me to see
A multiple identity
sometimes the monster sleeps
but time to time it longs to bear its teeth
Dancing in the melody of fall
orange and earthtones sending out the call
that winter’s coming
Children dress like little scary dolls
Jack-o-lanterns smiling on the wall
They’ll soon come crashing down
It’s a short trip to the ground
There’s a piece of paper folded up, some scissors in a cup
I make a few quick cuts
Unfold to see the perfect symmetry
Here’s a note I wrote to you upon a piece of paper snow
Too bad you’ll never see
This six foot sheet sure makes it hard to read
I blew a kiss to you today the darkness went away
I spilled a bottle where you lay
I hope you got a taste
I’m not a devil or a saint,
I’m wet paint in the rain
I’ve got a heart that fills my veins
But you fill up my brain.
8. Lost In Microcosm
The fiercest creates are the ants don’t ever give a second glance
They’ll kill and never give a thought
If you were swallowed don’t forget your journey isn’t over yet
You’ll soon shrink out from all the rot
Ten thousand worlds yet
still the same there’s bodies being run by brains inside the heads of humanoids,
but no one can find me the cure
I’m going to shrink to death for sure
Who knows how many I’ll destroy?
I keep shrinking into the sand I’m sinking…
Eternally reducing…
An infinite downsize
An atom turns into a planet
I put my arms around it
I’m soon a giant smashing everything
A sneeze could be catastrophe
ten billion people on a pea
could find themselves under my feet
With just a short sweep of my arm
I cause a motherload of harm
to all the worlds inside my sleeve
I keep shrinking into this hand I’m sinking
Eternally reducing an infinite downsize
Soon I’m normal size and I fight to save my life
but a decent scientist is hard as hell to find
9. Shadowshaker
Late at night there’s a banshee screaming
I’m full of fright and my blood is freezing cold
Imagination’s always dreaming
Hallucinating make believing ghost
I hope I’m not the next in line to go
I’m starting to suspect my own shadow
In the basement ghouls are hiding
Bloody pavement pools
I’m driving slow
I’m not afraid of werewolves or mummies
I get the creeps from those damn wax dummies
10. Crush Your World
I’ve got you
You’re cornered
There’s no escaping my grasp
Your failure is fate
My rage could swallow this whole earth
I can’t wait to crush your world
Poor earthlings, unworthy
You’re so disgusting and vile
Be wary
It’s scary to be devoured alive
I can’t wait to crush your world
11. Weep
I need some water…
I’m so thirsty…
It’s getting hotter…
Sun don’t bust me…
I need somebody…
I’m so lonely
My heart is spotty dead and moldy
Please don’t burn me
I’m not guilty
No one warned me
Please have pity…
Moonlight glistens…
Stars are shining…
Stop and listen…
I’m here crying…
Dig my grave with a silver spade
Dig my grade wide and deep
Dig my grave on a snow-white hill
My baby queen can come and weep
Lonely baby can you hear me?
I go crazy when you’re not near me
I will see you when you see me
When my skins blue will you miss me?
I’m scared to be alone.
