01. A Ticket For The Paralyzer

Go!

02. 10 Signs You Should Leave

You know it's all a game that we play back and forth
I leave, you chase, and we're back to square one
We were not meant to be, and I tried my best to work it through
I asked my friends, "What should I do?"
There only advice was leaving you
But I'm glad I did or at least that's what I tell myself
I swear to God I never would've known your face or your name
If every day is a constant reminder, you're a whore, liar, ghost, harlot
And it's sad to say that I, I still cry to the Bayside CD everyday
Don't you know that those songs are about you?
Check tracks 8 and 9 then call me back
You ask me, "When is it over?"
You ask me, "When is it over?"
Over?
This isn't over 'til I say it's over
This isn't over 'til I say it's over
This isn't over 'til I say it's over
This isn't over 'til I say
Back to square one
Come on!

03. When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong

Hahaha!

I hope this is a passing phase
There is no future when I stand here with you
This is the end. No longer will you hear my voice
So long
Goodbye
And don't you think for a second you'll see my face again
I killed the hope, but you buried it
This is a promise. I will not let you back in my life
This is a promise I keep to myself
Only time will tell how long you'll keep your legs closed
I give that bitch another week, before she's on her knees again with one of my friends
And I tried my best to forgive and forget you
I tried my best to forgive and forget you

Won't you be my bride? (another day)

04. Rusted Over Wet Dreams

No words could ever describe the feeling
The feeling of holding onto your ghost
But if there's just one more thing I could as of you
Just one more request
Please don't ever forget me
No, don't you ever forget
Everyday it's getting harder just to turn the page
I keep replaying and reciting those mistakes you made

And I'm trying to take my own advice
That things will change
That things will change
But whom am I kidding?
I'm so afraid
That things will change
That things will change

I want you to know how it feels to be in love with the ghost that bears your name
Know that my love was not in vain

But if there's one regret we can share, what shall we name him?
What shall we name our dead son?

05. You Got A Henna Tattoo That Said Forever

Take me somewhere familiar so I can find myself again
It hurts more then you know and I'll ask you "Why?"
Why would you lie to me?
What was the point?
Was your intention to waste my time?
Thought I was digging deep
Thought I was breaking the bank
But girls like you are just a dime a dozen
Are just a dime a dozen
Movie quotes and lyrics still connecting us like constellations
I wonder if I can ever separate myself from this
And it'll be a while 'til I can breathe again
Slip me into something warm
My eyes still scream childhood
Childhood!
Slip me into something warm

06. Travis Bickle

[instrumental]

07. Sleeping Princess In Devil's Castle

And I hope every morning you wake up, it hurts more and doesn't stop
And I hope every night you rest you lay and pray for death
You made a better trophy in my dreams
And now you are my nightmare
I wonder, "Where did I go wrong?"
And you are all that's left of what it meant to live
Don't worry
This will only hurt for a second
Sleep soundly
Just where did I go wrong?
Just where did I go wrong?
And hoping for changes, we've wasted this, and what for?
And what for?
One more day of this weight
One more day of this dissolved presence

08. The Key To Keeping The Show Fresh Is... I'm Dead

I just wanna rub it in your fucking face and make you remember everything
No, you were never a friend to me
Just a part in all my movies
Stabbing you dead in every scene
And I'm not gonna stop until you realize how you made me feel
And I swear it's all your fault. At least that's what I remember
And I see right through you
Jealousy pouring out your eyes
So I ask for the great applause for this poor Capricorn
I hope you enjoy living in my shadow
When you signed the dotted line, did you think things would change?
I just wanna rub it in your fucking face and make you remember everything
I, I can't help but laugh. And now we know that things will never change
It's all about business
It's all about business now

09. It's Not Just A Party, It's A Funeral

They will find my corpse on the shower floor
And with my bleeding wrists will be a note that explains all of this

"Dear friends and family, I hope that you can understand"

I could not handle the fear and regret, knowing I ruined my only chance
A lesson in carelessness
Let my grave stand as proof
You've only got one chance, so take advantage
I will burn in hell for my selfishness
I will burn in hell
But you'll see me reach for angel wings
You've only got one chance, so take advantage
I know the backlash
Call me a coward all you want
I know the truth is that I am free
I am free!

10. When Everything Goes Wrong, Take The Easy Way Out

When all is said and done, please just let me out
I will kill myself, if it means nothing else will keep me from sleeping tonight
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
You did enough to ruin me
My broken soul can't take another day
I beg for you to leave
God, if you're waiting for me, won't you please open the gates?
Open the gates

"God, if you can hear me, open the gates."
