Pain 01:46
Wait the timeless debate Egg on your face Will I see the light of day I ate such a disgrace No time to waste They won't be the end of me But I've been feeling So much pain lately I may go insane And if I die before I wake Would you even care You have no self-esteem I saw you in a dream And I don't know why I can't be the one to pull the plug I'm not that type of guy But I've been locked in rooms And tubes up in the sky And I wanna come down All I need is to be set free You know I'll fulfill my own destiny But I've been feeling So much pain lately I may go insane And if I die before I wake Would you even care

Monkey Cage 02:05
I don't wanna live in your monkey cage I don't wanna live in your monkey cage With your green plastic grass My ruby red finger marks across the glass Shake me in your globe watch me tremble in fear There's no sense in calling out no one can hear Paint me in your book like some twisted puppeteer I don't wanna breathe under your design I don't wanna breathe by your sick design With your backhanded rules Rationed out portions of an obsolete tool I don't wanna live in your monkey cage I don't wanna live in your monkey cage With your green plastic grass My ruby red finger marks across the glass

I've been everywhere from Greenland Qatar and Narita To two long years in Pyongtaek and Gunsan Well I swear I never thought I'd find love in New Jersey It's all so fast-paced There's so little time But when I saw you on the phone Well I knew that you were different And I'd apologized for having been so distant I was so caught up with my life building missiles and wishing That I could land someone like you Well it's all the long-distance that made us stronger and I Think about you Every day when I am gone But I know that you'll wait for me in the terminal The same way that I'd wait for you Every day down on the gulf coast Felt empty without you This new-age way of dating is our normal And oh, how I longed to feel your skin Under my fingers again I wish I could have climbed through that screen every one of those evenings But it's all the long-distance that made us stronger and I Think about you every day when I am gone But I know that you'll wait for me in the terminal The same way that I'd wait for you I've never been the type for the long haul love Seemed easier to think that was reserved for someone else But when I heard the truth right from your drunken lovin mouth I knew you'd been reserved for me And on that faithful day In that gazebo by the lake I won't soon forget The four words I thought I'd never hear you say Well it's all the long-distance that made us stronger and I think about you every day when I'm gone But I know that you'll wait for me in the terminal The same way that I'd wait for you Well it's all the long-distance that made us stronger and I Think about you every day when I am gone But I know that you'll wait for me in the terminal The same way I'd wait for you But I know that you'll wait for me in the terminal The same way that I'd wait for you

Let's make a pact to not have any kids This world's too crowded it's not very big One day we'll look back and we'll say what if Till then let's make a pact to not have any kids If I had a child it would die pretty quick See I'm not known for having too much money And I don't trust my government in case mine gets sick They can't afford to treat it though they can sure take it from me Let's make a pact to not have any kids This world's too crowded it's not very big One day we'll look back and we'll say what if Till then let's make a pact to not have any kids If we made a kid it would suffer like us And spend its whole life thinking about dying And all it's time working by a stove for cheap wages When we have zero what's the sense in multiplying Let's make a pact to not have any kids This world's too crowded it's not very big One day we'll look back and we'll say what if Till then let's make a pact to not have any kids

You're not gonna find my blood on the ground again My skin's no stranger to the pavement He who holds the grudge drinks the poison and Waits for his enemies to die You can walk with me or watch me from the other side But I won't be caught like that I won't be caught like that I won't be caught I'm a carrot on a string You're a gun without a cause But I won't be caught like that I'm still breathing although you want me dead Though your true voice may not be the one that's in my head But you're the one to blame for all those things I feel My burred reality Nightmare dreams better left unsaid Catch me if you can Catch me if you can Catch me if you can Catch me if you can But I won't be caught like that I won't be caught like that I won't be caught I'm a carrot on a string You're a gun without a cause But I won't be caught like that

Stone 04:14
I called the bank They can't seem to get enough Went and bought a scratcher with my last ten bucks Got Z's, P's, and D's on the bottom of the card Thinking how am I so down on my luck Cause 1'm not free like you This world is so big and cruel I watched them lay you down with their gardening tools And I couldn't buy the stone No, I couldn't even buy you a stone Here's a toast to my dissatisfaction If I were pleased, I would never need a glass I take my bills straight from the mailbox And I throw them in the trash My mediocre settlement has come and met it's due I'm going under from my head to my shoes And all I really want to do is talk to you I guess you turned to God because you were scared And then you turned to me in hopes I'd answer your prayers But in your final hours, I failed to be there No, I couldn't even answer the phone No, I couldn't even answer the phone Well I had this dream that I was you I was lying in that hospital room And I watched me say goodbye Watched my tears fall on your fingers as you died So when I'm free like you We'll be reduced to one last blank stare And no one will come to the funeral home Though they all said they'd be there Burn my body into ashes so black They'll be sure that I'll never come back And when they pat the shovel on the top of the plot Well I hope no one buys me a stone Well I hope no one buys me a stone

The Line 03:10
I guess that's how it goes I'll be in love forever And deep down I know That we'll never be together but I'll keep holding on and hoping That you would change your mind If life were a VCR then I would push rewind I feel like I'm a joke I feel lost and defeated You pumped me full of holes I might sound like I've retreated But I can't entertain the notion that We can never be and I won't rest until I've got you next to me A thousand times I've lied awake In the silence I stood dormant in the back of your line And even though it isn't moving I promise you I'll wait Till time finally beats me in the race I'm sorry for the past You know I never meant to hurt you All those things I did Well I prolly don't deserve you But I know if I could show you that I'm not that type of guy Then finally you'll break And see what's in my eyes A thousand times I've lied awake In the silence I stood dormant in the back of your line And even though it isn't moving I'll promise you I'll wait Till time finally beats me in the race Well I drink and smoke away the thought that you don't love me I smoke them back-to-back but there's no cure Oh it seems I'm not addicted to The nicotine and booze I'm trying to cope with my addiction to you I'll stand and wait In this line And I'll wait for you until the day I die Cause you only have one life to live The game's not fair and I don't care I'll cheat the rules to win your heart I swear

Anew 03:07
Call my name And I'll come to I wish everything was blank Without you, I'd count down the days To when I could see your face again I'd wait for you at the foot of your stoop Walk around the town With nothing to lose Sit and watch the sunset fall behind the old church building Lay and watch the stars all night Well I know someday they'll open up the doors and let me out I've been leaning on the rails and looking over And when that day comes I know exactly what I'll do I'm gonna pack up all my things And I'm going to start anew Sometimes you need a change to show you what you really had I've become complacent And I know that makes you sad But I'm focused on the future And you're harping on the past again Well I know someday they'll open up the doors and let me out I've been leaning on the rails and looking over And when that day comes I know exactly what I'll do I'm gonna pack up all my things And I'm going to start anew

The Tarmac 02:59
I can see you smiling through the glass Back at me and all the people Crooked teeth and shattered dreams I can see the whites of your eyes glowing dimly like two halos Growing thinner by the day Is this what you want Did you pack your own bag sir Once we leave the tarmac There is no turning home Can you see the darkness fill the window As it shines like no other Your reflection in the pane Is this what you signed for When the courier rang the bell Like a ghost or prankster children in the cold Is this what you want Did you pack your own bag sir Once we leave the tarmac There is no turning home
