Lyrics to Alison's Disease :
Can't believe Alison's disease
Florescent, the storelights describe the end
and I can't forget it
Demons can return. He caught up with her.
Murderous hands cripple her eyes and mind
and I can't blink so

Hail defeat. It's reached everyone.
Plague generation (our last one)
The sun will rise again.
Not for Alison
That's what I see when I look in her eyes
and I can't breath so

Hail defeat. It's reached everyone.
Plague generation (plague generation)

Maybe I can piece together
five cold days in late December.
Stories of a monster swallowed
in a snow covered Lake Tahoe.
Shining in her desperate despair,
Alison was there.
A moment I can freeze but she can't
be the same person se used to be.
Alison is gone. Alison is gone. (Alison is gone)

And Alison resides, on that frozen mountain side.
Thats what I see when I look in her eyes

Lyrics to Goin' South :
Maggie, you ever been kicked in the head by a bull?

Gotta drive all night ???
Got to designate a driver before the show
I took a nap at the wheel
There's nothing like a guard rail to wake you up in the middle of the night

And we are driving north, goin' south!
It looks like we'll sleep here
We're outta Beer!

We're heading south on the north bound
Our wheels might as well be square
Cause we're not really getting anywhere
Tires just blew up, Fan belt's breakin'
I don't think we're gonna make it!

Driving round! Going Down!
It looks like we'll sleep here, I Need a Beer!

South, Going South, Can't Go South, Going South
South, Heading South, Check it Out, Going Down...

Lyrics to Dis'chords :
Lies and words

Silent again
When spoken their is friction and conflict
Why do we rub each other wrong

Maybe we've known each other too well for too long
You and I have heard each other speech before

Are these words that i said
The same words that you heard
We can only agree to disagree in disharmony

Is it too much likeness or indifference
Well the answers in the question isn't it

The deepest cut of all comes from a trusted friend
But I'm sick of it all I can't listen
I wish that all of it would end

You cut me off
I cut you down Jerrated words

Are these words that i said
The same words that you heard
We can only agree to disagree in disharmony

Let's stop repeating the lesson
We've been through thick n' thin
I consider you a friend
Though it's hard for me show
Everytime you hear this song you'll know
It's not just the business
We know much more exist
Let's end the bad notes and the dis'chords
We'll tune our attitude and realize a personal reward

Lyrics to Coffee And Cigarettes :
I'm getting used to getting old but where's my ambition
Days of omission
I feel broken down inside because my words seem to be trite adding
to the overwhelming
Always a question of truth your truths question my efficiency

Shocking - The words you can't hear
Impact - The words I can't write

Recycled words don't justify...
none of these words suffice searching for the sharp words
to drive the message in I put the last words down then I begin
to question the truth

Lyrics to Brown Eyed Girl :
Written by Van Morisson

Hey where did we go, days when the rain came.
Down in the hollow, playin' a new game.
Laughin' and a runnin' , hey hey, skippin' and a jumpin'
in the misty mornin' fog with our hearts a thumpin' at you,
The Brown-Eyed Girl
You're my Brown-Eyed Girl
Now what ever happened, Tuesday is so slow,
Goin' down the old man river, with a transistor radio
standin' in the sunlight laughin'
hidin' behind a rainbow wall
Slippin' and a slidin', all along the waterfall with you,
the Brown-Eyed Girl
You're my Brown-Eyed Girl.

Do you remember when, ah we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
la dee dah

So hard to find my way, now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day, my how you had grown,
[...] sometimes overcome thinkin' bout,
makin love in the green grass, behind the stadium with you.
the Brown-Eyed Girl
You, my Brown-Eyed Girl.

Do you remember when, ah we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
la dee dah

Lyrics to Whipping Boy :
now it's simple to me
Sometimes you have to let go when there's
Next to nothing
You say everytime she says no
There's more pain then love
It comes o shove almost
Everytime you speak
Somehow you fight
Something's just crazy
Somehow it's taking all the life left in you
You'er losing ground
Carrying that torch
Your not asking for much
As she has...
Had time to heal
And she doesn't need you any longer an you...
Had time to drink
and you call her to tell her you've gotten much stronger
At three in the morning she says stop calling cause...
Everyone's asleep
Some of us work
You're driving me crazy
When will you get on with my life
Now every nights friday night
Picking fights with your friends
Somehow trying to make amends
So you seach for comfort in a friend
It's not the same she won't understand
You both learned to think alike
So what was so wrong
Where's she tonight
out there drinking while you're left in thinking
It's taken all the life left in...
You
You're losing ground
Carrying that torch
You're not asking for much
Still somehow
You'll wait for her
You say she'll return
But you still carry that torch
That girl
WHIPPING BOY!!!

Lyrics to No One :
Labors of commitment Blood of his arms
A growing sense of duty
But in his song he's screaming out
Insuficient - he just falls further
behind Principles, purpose, tradition, time
Weigh heavy on this guilty
mind Wits astray Blind in rage, awar he'll
wage on grieving
Another no one hanging from the ceiling
Because only the extreme makes an impression
When drowning in the mainstream
One at the mercy of another's faith finally
answers to no one in his fall from grace
They say they love him but how could they ever
Miles above him they ask for repent
It doesn't matter what you want from me
Don't think there's worth in my apology
Because people never really change
You and I will always be the same and it's a
problem that we can't mend because
it happened once it will happen again
Because they plant their seeds of condition
until we have no choice, we lose conviction wits
astray Blind in rage a war he'll wage on grieving
Another no one blows his head off Because only
the extreme makes an impression when drowning
in the mainstream no one

Lyrics to Bye For Now :
Here comes the day I see my friends far away,
When I grow up inside what will happen to me?
The city sights the business types,
I can see but where are you?

Bye for now.
Didn't mean to let you down,
Didn't mean to drive you away.
Bye for now!
Now that your not around,
So many things I'd like to say!

See here I think I've found the missing link,
The piece that holds us together.
If I had my way I'd here you say that it's OK,
Friendship should last for ever.

Bye for now.
Didn't mean to let you down,
Didn't mean to drive you away.
Bye for now!
Now that you're not around,
So many things I'd like to say!

Didn't mean to let you down.
Didn't mean to let you down.
Didn't mean to let you down.
Didn't mean to let you down.
Didn't mean to let you down.
Never meant to let you down.
Didn't mean to let you down.

Lyrics to ...Hidden Track :
don't call it a movement, there's other ways of saying it
call it brown table and i'm playin' it down

fat amounts
blazin', appraisin
people are very unordinary (i have no idea)
every nation a backin'on out
come on everybody let me hear you shout
i'm gonna back on out
my momma said back on out
smokin' it ain't stoppin
its coming down and this melt is rockin'
rain my mother ate draino, mt. st. helen
a volcano
burnin' like hot lava
i got the runs cause i drink too much java
ouch that sensation
i got the runs i got constipation
(chorus.)

Lyrics to Kids Don't Like To Share :
And now they're searching for that new messiah it's
Their greatest passion to set'em up and knock'em
down put them on a pedestal idolatry wear the ring
you're married it's all yours to their envy because you
hold a higher key of senses and they are drawn like
magnets to a genius it's confirmed (chorus) set'em
up and knock'em down tour taste is so accountable
this is no great loss and sharing never was a choice
it's burning on your cross it gives you credit and a
voice here to relay tour beautiful ideals vicaruiously
through Them and when he died too many were
sympathetic and they are all pathetic so you dethrone
your ring without listening and jesus christ is realized
as he burns on your cross but this is no great loss
another one will come the wait is short your search is
brief you find another faith another clark kent another
superman flashing in the pan (repeat chorus) and now
you are searching for that new messiah it's your
greatest passion it's the latest fashion

Lyrics to Violins :

show us all your handicap is great you've got a thing
about being lost you think with our concern you'll
find yourself and you'll never be forgotten your
family never wanted this one with all of her flaws

Lyrics to Move The Car :
The story it grows older the story is no story here i
never knew what it is and there's no sign of it ending
as i am it and ought to be they're telling me i am
(chorus) bowling race car driver superficial hitman
you're on the list at every door you don't bowl or
race fast cars composition competition you drive
just because i don't go to the church where you
reside i might as well go for it the nineties won't be
back again until i'm forty-eight years old i can be
the hungry as i eat my words again appealing yet
apalling rising to my falling going to extreme ends i
am gagging on their scene (repeat chorus) you shift
i'm the driver over time in it's defense i move their
car and for a moment it makes sense i fail them in the
end i fail it in the end in the arms of old age knowing
only one to lose feeling nothing more to hide

scene admit to fraudulence driven to this thought
death is certain faith is not (repeat chorus)
composition competition you drive competition
competition i’m losing i fail it in the end

Lyrics to Sleep :
Hi it's me i'm bored again all is well i'm not insane
i've been drunk for seven days everything is fine i
made some friends broke the ice then i ate bread and
cheese to gain some weight keep me warm
everything's o.k. (chorus) it's me delivering psychosis
over the phone to you i color your world blue ten
thousand miles from you i'm sinking all alone
treading new waters i miss my buoy the van smells
like a dirty sock everyone has got the flu i'd rather
be sick of you i'd rather be asleep (repeat chorus)
when i get home the band will have it's first hit song
you and i will buy some rings and a suburban home
i'll bring home the bacon bits we'll make our parents
grandparents i'll take you out the breakfast at
night and then we’ll go to sleep

Lyrics to Sick :
I've been living for years in question some obsession
was i less to live without answers as a life cried
wolf i'm ashamed to mention my anguish but silence
lies empty if i say it again can i kill it will you lend
me your ears breathe in breathe out exhale acting
sweating a broken smile provides them a view
projection is nothing new just once i would like them
to feel it suffer in my skin for a moment stand in my
shoes filled with swelling blues (chorus) i keep this
room and this room keeps me chained to my organs i
am quarantined to a place that's dark staring at
three walls the door is locked to them 'maybe now
that they all know it you’ll find solace as you'r
drowning in narcissism or is it self-loathing 'cause
you fought it all in your head boy psychosomatic
they used to humor you now they pity you and
nothing's changed (repeat chorus) the door is locked
behind me if i say it again can i kill it because they're
sick of my complaining and i am sick of being sick
maybe these will cure you completely chemicals
deeply saviors until you're dependent don't let them
go to your head i'm ashamed to mention my anguish
but silence lies empty silence lies

Lyrics to Rifle :
I'm not the one who is pointing the finger you
hypocrite we're not true enough to be part but i
speak of what i have learned i haven't a flag to be
burned born wrong descend upon us you're only
honest but are you an artist or just a preacher to
those who want to hate everything you told them to
see everything you told them to hear we simply ask
them to listen and express what we feel born right
rifle me playing on their sympathy you're the one
waving the flag you're the one starting the war
we're not compromising or trying to conquer

Lyrics to Weak :
Come to know them and what makes them burn take
out your aggressions and alleviate the hurt fueled
by some loss we'll never know i sit down now 'cause
i'm not playing with you abusing amusing your peers
and all your demons in passive aggression accusing
all else but you hurt the ones you've grown to love
you feed on them embitterment refills your empty
soul release it into them your sharp words alcohol
enhanced fueled by guilt your checkered past you
had the last word and we are having the last laught
laught at me as i sit this one out and they're dancing
around me afraid you give me strenght to call it weak

Lyrics to Black Eyes :
He knows no shame and takes no blame this simpleton
sees everything he's only satisfied to point out
other's mistakes never afraid to use his pride his
tradition is old his faith a hand-me-down the family
he wears them on his sleeve morale and values left
under a christmastree he once had the gift this
image in his grandparents eyes no guns no drugs no
rape no end this vacant soul is pale and blue in empty
gaze his crow's feet are a vision of defeat sick and
tired of the meaninglessness the irrationale he's
desensitized his every need and emotion a cup half
empty but full of euphoria he's searching for the
light switch in the dark to switch his routine to find
a reason to find faight and piece of mind when one to
many beliefs die it's tough to see through these
black eyes everyone forgives everyone forgets
everyone is true and no one here will lie to you he
knows the truth he knows the truth here nothing's
certain disregard what you've learned to find faith
in piece of mind all of thier gods died with his peace i
should know him that heathen’s me

Lyrics to Bro Dependent :
I try to focus on what i hear listen to what i see i've
thought of it a lot and it's becoming all to clear
(chorus) i take it in excess as my true feelings are
suppressed i can not find the words to say it without
hurting not listening to what you say now watching
the things you do as you take a dose of grief as you
insist there's no relief perhaps another drink and
you take it in excess as your true feeling are
supressed you can not find the way to cure it
without hurting you cure it but it seems your
problem still remains obsession compulsion my
friend overdoing evertything so focus on what you
need listen to what you hear this is the last time i
listen it's becoming oh so clear i'm completely
confused here (repeat chorus) i've spoken all too
soon

Lyrics to Razor Burn :
She broke up with me two days later i think she met
her don juan in italy she has a new man i have a new
mustache now all my friends are gonna call me
mountain man and everyone will think that i'm a
stupid drifter to walk the earth alone i'll never
shave again on the night she left me facial hair grew
miraculously i dressed in black like johnny cash and
grew this beard of shame i've heard it said she looks
a lot like sherilyn fenn and sometimes i'm mistaken
for billy gibbons i may appear wise but i'm an idiot
it's over she left me and she will soon forget me she
found out i was lame i grew a beard of shame come
all be faithful joyful and triumphant i am a new man
i have a beard of shame

Lyrics to Shaving Your Head :
We used to watch them fall and we saw them
distraught but the attention that they got it
surrounds them for years we watched them enslaved
and we could only laugh what a loser what a shame
said we'd never play the... (chorus) and now it seems
you haven't learned the lesson i guess you have to
share the pain andnow your tainted blood leaves
stains behind your back and in thier words i hear
your shame how can you lie to me when in your eyes i
can see glazed and vacant as you're caught in the
act you've always wanted this now you feel the stab
are you happy to be sad is there pleasure in
the...(repeat chorus) as it make you sick do i make you
scared when you see what you once were as you're
shaving your head the scared boy thinks he's safe if
you can't read his eyes but you can read you can
read his eyes his lies

Lyrics to Ride The Snake :
Time to ride the snake eyes gone dead and blank i
don't wanna talk to a stranger i once knew
single-minded hunt to fill the bottomless well i
can't afford the labor of the feelings that you ask
you tax (chorus) talk to me i can't hear you did you
say the pain has gone away just one question will i
see you at the show tomorrow or the snake they
could never tell we are losing weight they will all
still love us if they can not feel our hell i'm not
losing face and they're not losing faith we won't
have to feel unless we quit there's nothing more to
hide (repeat chorus) don't you know that he does
everything he buys the food and cleans he knows
what i need to go on this is your last chance i can
feel i'm fading and i want to disappear disappear
there's nothing left to hide (repeat chorus) will i see
you at the show tomorrow tell me then what's wrong

Lyrics to After You My Friend :
Here he is. He saves a grin
He wants to be the one who doesn't have to sink a level
Indiscrete, in his retreat
All he need is just a taste of the bitter pride he held in her name
Embrace the solitude in ordinary fucked up state of grace
Far away from the days he bared
the cross he used to wear
In some resolve well aware
a little pitiful, a pin up boy they dress in grieving wear
well at ease in consent
in the drift of undertow

He won't justify the pity from them
When he knows...fools in love are arrogant
Their sermons cloud his breathing air
He's in love with an isolation from emotion

Here he is awaiting sentence
A fool to think that anyone can escape guilt and anguish
A subtlety that can't be learned
A subtlety that can't be taught
He is caught in the lure of second thoughts
He might still care
As he settles down well aware
Bound in secrecy. His voice will
only dignify their fears
but sorrow is signified
He's well aware of his pride.

Lyrics to Gun In Your Hand :
You jump in front of the bullet
The family put you to it
You might survive the first thousand shots
back to the end of the line

You hold the will to survive them
Answer to those you have failed
Time to clean your room and show you are able to stop
beating yourself down
You've arrived

A wealth of respect, a world of a regard
You've always belonged
You have to go on
I just want you to feel the gun in your hand

You used to hold aspiration
You couldn't see the limitations
Even in your youth you were unsurpassed
but driven by grief and it couldn't last

Sometimes promise,
sometimes goodbye
Confessed to all through bloodshot eyes
I just want you to feel the gun in your hand

It only breakds you untill you get off
I'm not gonna watch you kill yourself to live
It's all so average until you get off
I'm not gonna wait here until the body's cold

I just want you to feel the gun in your hand.

Lyrics to Leave The Light On :
So please leave the light on after you've gone
Leave the pictures in their aging frames up where
they belong
Leave the bed sheets unclean and they will reek
of you still
Cover me in resolve

So please leave the imagery
I can twist it
Dissociation and obsession
Superstition and pain
I can carry them on too and
bury you once again

I could bring this memory back to life
I'd apologize
I live to hear you say what they can't
I would make amends
They'd all love to have you back but...
I'd do anything to bring you back to say goodbye.
