If I go to jail tomorrow then tonight I'll play guitar cuz that's the only thing that matters anymore. When everything went to shit I didn't admit I was wrong I gotta be stubborn when I wanna write a song. Cuz often it doesn't happen or come out right then I'll just give up and stare out the night what's new on my wall? what's going on outside my room? Wondering why sleep never comes soon. Then when it does it hits like a ton of bricks waking up at two isn't hard when you pass out at six I don't have the trappings of motivation and even if I did, I'd never use them So when it doesn't happen or come out right I'll just give up and stare out the night What's new on my wall? What's going on outside my room Wondering why sleep never comes soon. Working by clock you know it gets so fucking boring so I ditched my job when all that rush was pointless. Cuz I work and work and work and work and work my life away, another hour passed another dollar made. Living by the laws you know they got so fucking boring So I dealt 448 grams but all those crimes were pointless cuz now I slave and slave and slave and slave the day away, another hour passed another penance paid. So when it doesn't happen or come out right don't you give up and stare out the night Take a deep breath and get back to work, the hardest things I do bring the greatest reward. Go!

This one's for the days when I didn't do anything at all I just sat on my front porch and drank cheap alochol This one's for those days when I didn't wanna shower cuz the filth and the smell just returned in an hour. This one's for the days when I can't get outta bed cuz the hangover hits me like a hammer in the head. This one's for those nights when I can't fall asleep and I gave up along time ago on trying to count sheep. So I'll stay awake until the early day When the feeling of disgust just doesn't go away I won't live my life regretting shit I've done So I'll get the fuck outta here right now. This one's for all those that are feeling left behind When they're running outta shadows in which they might hide. This one's for all those that circumvent the law cuz rules are meant to be broken and the idols they will fall This one's for all those at the end of their ropes when they're cascading down the sides of their slippery slope Yeah the one's in the back that are clinging to ghosts and those in the front who dance to forget So they stay awake until the early day when the feeling of disgust just doesn't go away They don't live their lives regretting shit they've done so they'll get the fuck outta here right now.

We won't last until dawn break and coming here is my last mistake When I start to think you're on the take this has reached it's final date I still can't find a reason why why it's ever worth a try some times I think it'd be easier if I just died. And then this thought it brings me back I start to think it's not so bad And foul moods might happen every now and then it's always nice to have close friends But people go through their ups and downs and the same folks might not come around but we'll see each other at a later date we'll get together and we'll play The same chord progressions we've played 1000 times theres no "A" for efforts and theres no second tries I've heard once or twice let them sleeping dogs lie but I'll play it one more time Then the sunlight hits again I'll reattach my pounding head Forget every word you've ever said and go back home and lie in bed The warmth of the bed will comfort me and when I wake I'll be free Lose all my possessions can't you see they never mattered much to me I'll rush towards despondency self destruction, askew autonomy I go towards that light willingly but do I advance or do I flee? or rather just get caught in ruts when these works of art they're never done they're just abandoned them I'm stuck playing The same chord progressions I've played 1000 times theres no "A" for efforts when theres no 2nd tries. I've heard once or twice let them sleeping dogs lie But I'll play it one more time We won't last until the morn and this will be my dying song I woke up one day and was like, shit I just turned 24 I was like, what have I done? Where did all those years run? Was I faking it? or having fun playing The same chord progressions I've played 1000 times Theres no "A" for efforts when theres no 2nd tries But I'll play it one more time.

I'm running all the time I can't afford to be late I'm running round in circle and I'm wearing out legs I've been alotta places I ain't seen nothing good That's why I'll just stay here in my little neighborhood So when I run outta the church and into the Manor I might cut out all that drinking but I'm not thinking any clearer I'm still running outta places to stay I'm still running outta places to stay I won't come round here anymore was that rock bottom or was it the floor I'm running out of places to stay I'm running all the time but never getting anywhere I ran outta reasons long ago to even fucking care I've been alotta places I ain't seen nothing great that's why for another year in Madison I'll stay Chorus x2

About to Crack No going back The same shit you've heard before We've been spewing the same rhetoric since 1984 Clinging to wrong questions while searching for the answers This disease spreads like a fucking social cancer. The worst been done Hah! it's just begun I'll lie prone on the floor Standing on the prow of a ship sinking fast This might be behind us but it's not in the past. Clinging to wrong questions while searching for the answers this disease spreads like a fucking social cancer. Clinging to responses that were made of no substance Was this an educated guess or just a dismissive gesture?

I'm a food pantry chef and a complete drunken mess I can tell that you want me by the hemming of your dress. I haven't got alotta time, patience or cash And I'm feeling a little drunk which never lasts I'm gonna be the one to get the last laugh It'll explode from my head and echo like a thunder clap When you hear that sound you know there's no going back cuz my moment has come and your era has passed. I'm a first rate fuck up and a hazardous house guest The status of my hygiene is usually suspect I'm a rude motherfucker especially when I'm drunk and not the kind of person that you ought to trust Chorus x2

None

When I tune by ear its always sharp I'm still seeing shadows in the dark Raise your hands when there's no will to fight I started the car but stayed in park with that attitude I don't get far Failure resounds louder than victory Retreat ain't defeat it's just getting damn close I'm slipping off the edge once again. I took a taste but it came back up I guess it was something I didn't want My stomach doesn't trust my mouth anymore Go out tonight or stay inside? It's always easier to run and hide Enjoying the comforts of home Retreat aint defeat it's just getting damn close I'm slipping off the edge once again I've had enough not taking anymore where's my stuff and where's the door I'll let you get the last word I haven't got the fucking time to listen to you bitch and whine I'm washing the taste outta my mouth right now. Retreat aint defeat it's just getting damn close I'm slipping off the edge once again Rejection and deception it just amounts to depression Tonights gonna be the last time When I tune by ear it's always flat I smoked that shit there's no going back Everything seems slightly better when I'm stoned. When I leave there's no return my voice is steady my tone is stern I'm never returning home Retreat aint defeat it's just getting damn close I'm slipping off the edge once again Rejection and deception it just amounts to depression Tonight's gonna be the last time
