Drink The Tears
03:50

Damnation, we are the ones
Staring down the barrel of your gun
Good reasons, we’ve got a few
Most reasons are a bad excuse
There was a time when I thought that you made me a legend
But you made me a shadow of my former self
Every night we take the abuse
There’s no point in crying ‘cause there ain’t no use
You wake up every morning with the same old fears
Cause you know you can’t drink the tears
Of shame
Crossed over another line
This time I thought I’d really died
Never wanted to play this part
I saw my future and it broke my heart
There was a time when I thought that you made me a rock star
But you stole every inspiration and drank it away
Every night we take the abuse
There’s no point in crying ‘cause there ain’t no use
You wake up every morning with the same old fears
Cause you know you can’t drink the tears
But you know you can’t make it alone
So reach out and touch the hand
Of the one that never lets you go
Every night we take the abuse
There’s no point in crying ‘cause there ain’t no use
You wake up every morning with the same old fears
Cause you know you can’t drink the tears

Save It Till The Morning
03:16
|

Sun in the sky shining bright today
Can’t see the light when you pull the shades
Maybe it’ll seem better in a day
Hands up, this is a raid
Backed in the corner up against the wall
It’s nothing new, they’re kicking down the door
Same old story running from the law
You’re under arrest
When I feel like a stranger
In my life I’m someone else
Save it till the morning till it feels alright
Catch another ride, better hang on tight
Don’t leave me here, don’t hang me out to dry
Just head into the light
Backed in the corner up against the wall
It’s nothing new, they’re having a ball
Same old story running from the law
Get off of the floor
When I feel like a stranger
In my life I’m someone else
Save it till the morning till it feels alright
Catch another ride, better hang on tight
Don’t leave me here, don’t hang me out to dry
Just head into the light

Getting Old
03:28
|

Hey, what did you say?
That someone made you feel old today
Well that’s on you
Cause no one can make you feel that way
If you want it go get it
Living ain’t against the law
You’re holding up a tired cliché and it’s such a bore
Wallow around in sad regret
Scared of what hasn’t happened yet
So don’t waste your youth
Thinking about getting old
You’re thinking about getting old
Hey, what did you say?
Talking yourself into an early grave
Me, I’m having a ball
I’m sick of these lies, I’m sick of it all
Just wear it if you want it
Make a fool of yourself
I’d rather be a fool
Than a memory on the shelf
Wallow around in sad regret
Scared of what hasn’t happened yet
So don’t waste your youth
Thinking about getting old
You’re thinking about getting old
You’re looking for a moment that won’t let you down
So don’t waste your youth
Thinking about getting old
You’re thinking about getting old

Something New
03:26
|

|
Take me to the place you hide in
It looks the same as mine
We could swim under water
Maybe live for a while
Out in the desert sun
Where it never rains
Living like Saharan foxes
Underneath the grains
One dreamer dreaming to another
Just another dream
Could we slip away into the blue
Into something new
Cold days in monochromatic
Doesn’t suit your tone
Like a dark emotional tundra
It chills you to the bone
One dreamer dreaming to another
Just another dream
Could we slip away into the blue
Into something new

Big Time
03:09
|

|
She grew up in a small town
The kind that sleeps forever
Got a ticket to somewhere
Just couldn’t stand the weather
Welcome to the major league
The city of lost souls
This machine will tear you up
And throw you out in the cold
But it’s big time, yeah you really made it
Big time tonight
Big time, yeah you overplayed it
Big time tonight
She was looking for something
Let’s call it peace of mind
Life and soul of the party
Those drugs begin to grind
Take a look in the mirror
No light behind those eyes
Feels like you’re drowning in quicksand
Well this ain’t no way to die
But it’s big time, yeah you really made it
Big time tonight
Big time, yeah you overplayed it
Big time tonight
Go back, back to where you came from
Say hello to your friends and family
Say hello to your neighbours
Don’t you want some sleep?
Don’t you want some peace?
Big time, yeah you really made it
Big time tonight
Big time, yeah you overplayed it
Big time tonight
And it’s big time, yeah you really made it
Big time tonight
And it’s big time, yeah you really made it
Big time

Same Shit Different Day
03:48
|

|
I guess every generation is the same
They think they invented the wheel
I just came up with a new idea
Feel free to steal
The biggest mouth is the widest open goal
Your bones will ache and your looks will take their toll
Tomorrow’s gonna be the same
No one’s got nothing new to say
New rules, identical games
Same shit, different day
Everything was better in your day
I guess it’s a sign of the times
Move on or be obsolete
Maybe crack a smile
No one gives a fuck what you have to say
But I guess that you’re gonna say it anyway
Tomorrow’s gonna be the same
No one’s got nothing new to say
New rules, identical games
Same shit, different day
Wipe away mascara
To reveal an older face
I could see it from a mile off
There’s a fall from grace
Tomorrow’s gonna be the same
No one’s got nothing new to say
New rules, identical games
Same shit, different day

Like What You Get
03:04
|

I was only 15, I was stuck in a dream
I said to my Ma, this is what I should be
I’m going to play my guitar, I’m gonna be a star
With pure belief, I’m gonna go real far
She said listen boy, you’d better keep it real
I’ve been around, now here’s the deal
Nothing works out the way you want it to be
Here’s what she said to me
You don’t get what you like
You have to like what you get
Start living your life
It ain’t over yet
If there’s one damn thing I hope you never forget
You’ve got to get what you like, if you don’t like what you get
Well I’ve been here a while, and now it hurts to smile
Some miserable kid is going down in style
Well I know who I am but I don’t know where I stand
In the scheme of life, I’m running out hands
I put it off for a year, a decade to be fair
I look for the answers but there’s nothing there
To pick up a card you have to put one down
So I’m laying it to the ground
You don’t get what you like
You have to like what you get
Start living your life
It ain’t over yet
If there’s one damn thing I hope you never forget
You’ve got to get what you like, if you don’t like what you get

I Need A Break
03:07
|
|||
|
Sometimes I know how to find it
Sometimes I don’t know where it is
Underneath a rock
Kept behind a lock
Drowning in a bottle of fears
Well I’m not alone
There’s no one there
I’m not alone
I need a break
Lordy got to get me away
Pressure piled up to the ceiling
Pressure all over the floor
Call the people back
Make another stack
The list goes on and on
Well who’s on the phone?
There’s no one there
Who’s on the phone?
I need a break
Lordy got to get me away
Pressure piled up to the ceiling
Pressure all over the floor
Head is on the brink
No more time to think
I’m walking right out that door
Well who’s on the phone?
There’s no one there
Who’s on the phone?
I need a break
Lordy got to get me away

She's Alright
02:56

She’s been working since I remember
She’s so uptight
No soul or a heart within him
He’s so unkind
But she’s alright
She’s a lonely lonely soldier
She’s alright
And when that war is over…
Got sick with a bad depression
The type that kills
Nobody can push you over
Or against your will
But he’s not right
He’s a man of self destruction
He’s not right
He’s a bad moon rising
That clock on the wall is laughing
It’s set to the past
Been staring at better days
Face pressed against the glass
That’s in the past
She’s been working since I remember
She’s so uptight
No soul or a heart within him
He’s so unkind
But she’s alright
She’s a lonely lonely soldier
She’s alright
And when that war is over…
She’s alright

Darkness In The Summer

Darkness in the summer
Let the winter roll on
I want to go back to the womb
I want to be buried in my tomb
Nothing can turn it off
Nothing can turn it off
I want to go back to safer time
When everything around me wasn’t so unkind
Nothing can turn it off
Nothing can turn it off
Darkness in the summer
Let the winter roll on
The visions in my head won’t stop
The film keeps playing from the top
I drink ‘cause I can’t get drunk
I drink ‘cause I can’t get drunk
Darkness in the summer
Let the winter roll on
