LYRICS TO ALL THE SONGS ON THE RECORD LET ME KNOW WHAT YA THINK
1. let's party at the higely ranch baby:
get back and sit back
this party of one had just started getting good
sit down and fall down
watch me fall down over and over till the sun takes over
this night and these eyes
they doctor you back three steps
where the door and the party
offers and invites you
to shed all of the fears that kept us together
and the fights that kept me smiling in the end
till the fall down
till you let me down to the town where my home is on a couch
in a three flat where you never mattered
and im just a faceless person in this sinking sea
sit down and shut up
you never knew the tone in which to speak in
sign up so you can give up
all your right on's gone wrong
i'll call you
i'll call out each and every fault that you hid
and all the false smiles that you hid behind last night
of all this doubt
of all this spite
of all this forgetting that i can be summed up with
just two words
how do you spell my name these days
is it something like ex/bx?
track 2. meet me at the corner of thunderbird and tatumn
we spoke in code to make the words seem
less important than the sounds that we spoke
and i
could feel the sentances penetrating me
more with every period
and every thought out delay
and its funny how to people can come together
from to people falling apart
we live in thier pain everyday
and we try to talk in circles
all of the way round
we talk in circles hoping that your friend would want to stay there forever
so that tonight i know
you can leave totaly inticed with what you have heard
and if i knew i'd have half a chance i'd rewrite
these chapters in books
that i wish i can close
so that tonight i can start a new page with the word you
and how i hope this means somehting more
than a talk outside
smoking to cover up your coffee stained teeth.
track 3. 50 PBR's at the Rouge
A breath,yours on mine
felt softly on your cheak
before my lips caress your forehead
your lips, your star
glossed over in my mind, holding futures shinning bright
we dont have to hold our breath
under past tenses anymore
when the bars close down
the filled ashtrays let me know
that this would be the first of a string of long nights
planning out our future
when the lights blind us
we can only close our eyes
and kiss until chap lips
turn into scars
your car, red lighted kisses
green means go, but im not ready to move on
your foreheadm your lips, your stare
penetrating me
and the beach couldnt look half as good
with out you
standing there
track 4. this is a holy shit
we'll talk in monolouge
so the words can catch up to the dramatics
wore out their welcome like 1998
in 77 you were gone
only years away from being mommies mistake
how will you take it when i tell you the same thing
over and over tonight
let's just kiss and pretend that this is the end
so you will know
i will make the last call
im not even drunk enough to watch your eyes
rape me and take me
far back under street lights
when we
were so innocent
and i just cant remember
what i was thinking and all the letters wore out
my hands, like i wore out my lungs
writing this song
so you can maybe feel a little bit dead inside
but no one will know
just how hard it is to erase you from my mind
lets destroy each other tonight
and here's a rusty knife slit my wrists
maybe that will make you feel something better
and here's a gun bang bang
i pulled the trigger now im dead
are you happy now?
track 5. Pink Switchblades
exchange the crossbones
with some pink switchblades
so you will know how we dance tonight
forget the autumn leaves
they never meant a thing to me
rejoice the pictures have been burned
and all ive ever needed was just a helping hand
to help me up
to catch the words to delete the past meanings
that ive gone and fucked up
so many times
i could never say the words
i could never shape the words
excuse me
ive stuttered
tripped on my own tounge again
spewwing these lies
for you to think that im ok
forget me im over
my skeletons have all found their graves
maybe one day
soon you'll find yours again
how long do i have to wait and how many wishes
do i have have to waste
until you finally realize what you have lost?
track 6. The days you would ditch class
how many times
must i get it wrong
until we understand what each other is trying to explain
talking with our hands
oh its so quiet in your house
lieing in a bed to small for two
with my shoes on
trying to pretned that i want to be left alone
how many times, must i bite my tounge
so i dont run myself past you
i need to learn about the word slow
all i want is you by my side
track 7. Let's not redefine ourselves
i go into hiding to escape these pains
that you've made for me
i go into trying
to forget these days when my eyes
could speak the truth
when it all comes down
to it i can say that
this is my fault
open up and stare back
watch those memories fade
this is the end of a new beginning
dont be suprised if ya dont
remember my face
its not the same as the ones you once saw
masks only hide whats destroyed inside of me
i go into dieing
in a city desery so far from home
watch the apartment burn down
maybe i should burn with it
when it all comes down to it
i can say that this is my fualt
open up and stare back and let me tell you whats real.
this is a revolution
and maybe gravity is natures way of telling me
that we are gona burn in hell.
track 8. Days(words by Sonja Smith)
Track 9. A brief Lesson In Murder
step one step two
im getting over you
step three watch the bottles come crashing to the floor
step four repeat but dont forget to slice
my throat this time around
step five forget about me
these are the silly nights
these are the stupid games
that we used to call our own
here's to all the times we had
here's to all the plans we've made
and the fears that kept us together
step through and through
im done pretending im still about you
step to and from
ive only just begun
showing the world
just how unnecessary you are
these are the drunken nights
these are the shattered dreams
that we used to call our own
here's to all the thought we've made
here's to all the fights we had
the only thing that left me smiling
and you can call it quits on me
but who are we kidding
but the only way out is in death
so call it quits on me and i will
see you at our graves
i will win this yes i will win
track 10. SOMA
oh boy it goes again
what part of die
couldnt you under stand
maybe it was when i started screening your calls
or better yet
when i wrote you that letter
and signed it
ps please die tongiht
i dont know what else i can do
to make you feel somehting more than emptiness
i dont know what else i can do to make you feel
dead like me
next time you go out drinking
please choke on your vomit while you're drinking
it would be so beautiful
like you once were
until you ruined all my fucking dreams
and you burned me with your headlights
as you drove away
you burnt me like ive never been burnt before
take a zippo burn my eyes out it would never compare
these scars wont heal and i wont forget
my plans for you're demise
im coutning the days till you are six feet underground
im counting the days till you are six years gone
we can knife fight with stillettos
and when im dead id use my last strenghts to make sure
you go down with me
and that would make my world seems so much brighter
to see you dieing as i take my last breath
the world would
be at its most geniune moment
goddamnit why cant you please get in a car crash tongiht
track 11. You are so 2003
hold you breath in
like a pair of pants
i could never fit in to
i could never fall into
hold your face still
to these mascara scars
and lip glossed bruises
this will be the last time
i will follow you
back to where we startd from
this will be the last time
that i realize you are out like last season
hold your teeth still
those punches only took out one or two
like the following through
hold your breath
im still alive
ducking punches and blows
and your left left elbow
like pink and black
all set and back for the attack
afterwards we can wash it down
with sugar and scars
pucker up the innocence
it only made good to be
daddys little slut and mommies little whore
track 12. A rock and Roll tradegy
and so they say
that the past is just a present of things to come
hold out your hand
and dry those eyes
and take the best of me tonight
tonight for the first time
i knew that no bricks
could tear us down
no bricks could make us fall
in a drunk haze and if it did we would
pull each other back to a sober level
i told you to write
so that i know that
you owuld be alright
bandage those deep cuts
and widen those eyes
this is my testimony
track 13. a song to listen to as you fade away
talk to me to realize
all those things that were never quiet right
talk to me so i can just play dead
words never seem to fit quiet right
the strain in your eyes
it sits so softly next to me
and we both know
we'd be better off in past tense
slow mo rewind so i will know how to do this right
stop this train i want out
your derailment and toxic
ways are getting to me
im giving up and giving in
use me one last time
so i can wash it away
liquid courage has shaped
a new face in me
speak in poetics
i understand the words
they fit so right
watch this im
over and out
goodbye goodnight
i can sleep so soundly without you on my side
