"Chachi"

Take me clear up.
Toss me off the tower that is 40 stories tall.
So I'm plastered to the floor.
I must confess, I'm not impressed with your everlasting line.
Take draw, take a look now.
Watch me melt, from man to a boy
and I'm always on the honor society.
With everything and anything around but no attention drawn.
Make me.
I'm just curious to how and why we shouldn't be amazed.
(so don't ask why)
Tucked in slick back heart attack, yet no one seems to care.
Take me clear up.
Toss me off the tower that is 40 stories tall.
So I'm plastered to the floor.
I must confess, I'm not impressed with your everlasting line.
Seen expiration come to effect ventilation.
Make me sweet thing.
(so don't ask why)
Goodbye

They're disregarding us telling me I'm blind.
Trying to rid my mind,
and if worst comes to worst I think I'll be first to never be the same.
We're not to blame.
I wasn't there.
Hair in her eyes and it didn't cost a thing.
Fell to my knees.
Stuck on like fleas.
Saw on TV and it took effect.
And who were they to judge?
It could've be way worse, it didn't have to strain.
They bound us sleep which didn't mean a thing.
Calling in for free.
Sick of being down while coming through a fall.
I want out.
We're not to blame.

"Angst For Joel"

Is this promenade a musician?
And all that man can do is always compare original?
Doesn't matter what I say all I know is I got it in me.
And why do all the other records sound the same?
And I can stay right here.
And I ain't going off to pee.
But you won't hear one word I say.
No you're not listening.
So what I'm doing nothing here.
This time I'll play when the talented people don't show up.
If I don't got nothing good to say
So then why say it?
And I can stay right here.
And I ain't going off to pee.
But you won't hear one word I say.
Shutup and say.
"Yeah. I thought the punk scene was about unity
and creating an atmosphere of uh think for yourself.
Do what you want and not care about what other people thought about you.
It's not about creating cliques and trying to take what punk is.
Punk is what you want it to be.
It's about what anybody wants it to be.
It's about what you control it should be.
Punk's what you think it is."
I'm just standing here and people doing philosophy.
And it won't make one total difference on penny royalties.

i am why you bring me here,
tear these cloths down when we fight.
back around these towers.
like something you don't want to see.
like yesterday when you were found.
adding up misfortunes can always seem like holidays when you were sent to be the one.
i am why you bring me here tear these cloths down when we fight.
it's over they found me they made (beat) me.
i can't believe they knew it we blew it,
our fortunes have been retrieved by humans who knew me they
used me to get what's mine.
they'll never replace me.
i'll be back.
i want revenge.
