that heart will never beat again, no
let's try to listen with our ears, california
let go of crossing arms and follow the leader
let's try to close our eyes to see, california

Roller Coaster
02:51
|

i can't, can't get it out of me take the roller coaster down
the down set up a vacancy, swing a priority, strike out
on deck batting .103, designated hitters called
the plate waits for delivery, slugger’s neurology's on hold
you can't discover the ocean with just a pail and the sand
you can't just bury emotion, gravity sets in
you can't ignore this away, no
locate your misconception
get it out of me, get it out of me
you can't ignore this away, no
you’ve wandered past conclusion
I can't, can't get it out of me but the roller coaster helps
cork screw entertainment spree maintains efficiency problems
the click track has a tendency of proving everybody wrong
can't touch its consistency nor do we aim to reach this goal
it's all the same roller coaster, there's no beginning or end
it only seems to move faster making your head spin
so what's your alibi there's no way i’m in the wrong
sold to mister fill your plate he’ll never get enough
there's no time to give up, there's no way to get in where you belong

Suck My Bon Jovi

love, oh we don't need it baby
right hand, the introduction began
i said baby you are my disease
and she said no chance, i'm not lookin' for romance
disease, huh, just what do you mean
girl it's a medic alert, i'm afraid you're the cure
please honey let me buy you a drink
there's a hole in my heart casting you for the part
we can skip auditions baby
won't you please just set me free
that's when she whispered to me
love, oh we don't need it baby
love, because we're too young
ahh we don't need it boo
and i said fair start, we migrated towards the bar
i ordered two coke and rums
entwined, in conversating lines
she started openin' up
a few shots were involved, we could bleed alcohol
infatuations alike
said her man had left town, then girl why is you out
and she said boy your somethin' special to me
that's when I put it like
love, oh we don't need it baby
love, because were too drunk
ahh we don't need it girl
now baby, don't get me wrong
i’m sweating you girl
I’m sweating you no doubt
i'm just trying to respect the fact that you've got a man
but tell me this, does he make you feel beautiful
i guess that was the line that moved us to the floor
she started freakin' on me
slowly bumpin' the grind as we yielded the urge to go half on a baby
baby boo boo boo boo, let's vacate
strip down and get out of line
from the club to my home, gonna give you my love
i'll show you paradise, ahh take me home baby

Yes Please, Reduce Me
03:24
|
|||
top notch scrutiny, does it feel rewarding
can i interest you in wasting my time
it only has one calorie
shot clock violate me, you're still avoiding
all confrontation at any cost, good looking out.
another test, well i'm waiting
i got my number 2 pencil
shall ibubble in
or should i describe in words how to amplify fiascos
i'm a deceiver, all of the above won't change me
i'm a believer in doing things the easy way
a five minute break won't save me
i'm aborting this liaison
hung up to dry soaked in your eyes to observe
i can't elude surveillance
i'm a deceiver, maybe I'll grow up someday
underachiever, is all you'll ever see in me
time's up, pencils down
this is life, i can't fail
yes please, reduce me

M For Mature
03:37
|

we've got a live one on our hands
scenario rated m for mature
should i be obliged to apprehend your aura
insolence has no cure
the performance had its moments
nevertheless, a failed attempt gone all wrong
it starts today, let's drive the campaign into the ground
are you ready, well get ready
steady aim, kill miser
is this what you wanted
you get what you deserve
get ready, it's your turn
is this what you wanted
you get what you deserve
we've got a smug one watch him dance
incredible isn't quite the right word
focus on my voice, you're no better than us
the penny saved is not earned
the performance had its moments
nevertheless, a failed attempt gone all wrong
it starts today, let's drive the campaign into the ground
you get what you deserve

All Aboard
05:12
|

yes hello, can you refer me to your manager
i must have a word, i'm a frequent consumer
the product you sold me isn't quite what i
i think i deserve
i'm not here to argue, i only mean well
but I can't keep affording this sham of a sale
today's not a good day, tomorrow's no better
i exhale frustration, serenity enters
welcome please make yourself at home, sit down
enjoy the wine rejoice in company
soak in the time before it passes you completely
take me i'm all aboard i'm coming home
set sails away and unify
tear out the pages and make my own
i make my own life
wait just a minute if these are my choices
you've got to be kidding me, it simply won't do
i won't play the same games or the same songs
i need options I want changes, can't you spare me a few
it's not time to argue, no I don't need your money
i'm just fine without it, i've got music i'm lucky
live long and prosper is just what i plan on
and i'll ignite contentment shots fired from my cannon

my client dresses to appeal, your honor
equipped with an abundance of insecure grins and facial accessories
it flusters me to comprehend why representation is so necessary
your honor, my client has everything
own your own control
infected our minds think that we’re not good enough
life is a marketing ploy
own your own control
there's irony here you see help is hurting us
how do we know what to believe
a statement has been issued from the plaintiff's bench
the jury will see possession is disease today, clearly it haunts you
understanding can't compare to knowing best, clearly it haunts you
my client dresses to appeal your honor
beneath that confident display a reality lies with the possibility
that it will one day be obtained, i think that they call it satisfaction
your honor, my client thought he had everything

A Dose of Commentary
03:29
|
|||
looks like you’re running on empty, but your tank is full
fire those pistons up, don’t play dumb with me
not confined to one option, why be headstrong
prevent your misery
and it takes a second glance sometimes
perseverance can’t play the role
eradicate this for me, a dose of commentary
in seven hundred ways you’re all wrong
you can't embed this safely, affected lives now are three
now apprehension seems your problem
it's all about adoration, was your checklist long
looks like you missed a few, father forgive me
confess to the baby, all the sins you've made
the mother you shouldn't be
so your faith insists that it's alright
raising christians at seventeen
couldn’t you be considerate
how does it feel to play the fool
how could you be so obstinate
this isn’t the phase you go through
couldn’t you be considerate
eradicate this for me, a dose of commentary
couldn’t you be considerate
how does it feel to play the fool
you can't embed this safely, affected lives now are three
how could you be so obstinate
this isn’t the phase you go through
eradicate this for me, a dose of commentary
in seven hundred ways you’re all wrong

stop, drop and roll
i feel like burning
combustion take me from here
precipitation won’t leave me alone
it’s raining repetition
carry on disposition
i hope your protection can carry me
wall to wall they've got us surrounded
outnumbered
it’s tired in here
and you look all the same to me
you live what you've murdered
you've killed romance
don't hesitate just turn to love
you’re in control
get in or get it out
fuck that, stand by your preference
what we call music, to some it’s not at all
trends i refuse to fit in
drink your mouth shut
there's no crying in rock n' roll
strike ignite
burn baby take me w/ you

As Seen On TV
05:14
|
|||
alone in your escape
alleviate this sequence
utilize the option to disregard
26 inches provoke destruction
power on, kiss your refuge goodbye
it came to me that monday morning
the visual display
a thought had come to mind just maybe
the television's right
so be afraid and assume the role, succumb to observation
objects appear closer in the mirror
concern is fed to me
and this querulous digestion
furthers me to see i’m paranoid
so sit inside and snuggle up to safety
power on, let it alter your life
it came to me that monday morning
the visual display
there's nothing here to be afraid of
the television lies

Can I Live?
03:43
|
|||
sometimes you don’t know where you are
until you’re there, and it’s too late
it’s too late to find a better way
the time’s escaped
so let’s not lie
the stars are brighter on the other side tonight
the clock has died, but surely this cannot be over
the truth be told
the walls stare hard again these days
as if they knew everything
that’s not the case
you know that feeling when you’re floating
close to drowning when you’re hoping for something more
but when you look down you’ll find there’s just no way to turn
so let’s dig down, I guess it’s time we learned how to fly
there’s no pretending happy endings
when we’re trapped inside of our lives
so in the end
we’ll look back on distant times when we’d begin
to understand that life is only what we make of it
we’ve got to try
and then maybe we’ll see why
we try so hard to die
maybe we’ll see why
why we try so hard to die

Addicted To Faith
03:17
|
|||
the temptation of desire, the worst of many flaws
I was beckoned by an angel or what I presumed to be
her touch concluded me
my stomach turns as I embrace
dishonest, deception, your lies become you
no it wasn’t worth it I will never trust again
never again
a part of what I thought was me has died
there's not a place to run to
there's not a face to turn to
remains of hope have buried us alive
how could I let it take me
love is a calamity
don’t say a fucking word
angel please don’t end me
a time of desperation, you’ve chained yourself to me
but I’m still fighting your resistance, the shackles broken free
now watch me walk away
my stomach turns as I embrace
dishonest, deception, your lies become you
no it wasn’t worth it I won't let this be the end
this be the end
never could I have predicted, I made the mistake
I walked into your arms
I instantly became addicted
addicted to faith, angel please don’t end me

Patience Is A Virtue
04:15
|
|||
hold tight, breathe easy
we're starving ourselves with anxiety
constantly we’re trying to run
let's slow down and try walking sometime
looking back at my change of direction
I now can say that I have learned that she's not important
and I was foolish to care so much
why do we try so hard
when satisfaction is so close
these days it's hard enough to please myself
you'll just have to wait in line
sit down and take a number
we're all looking for our answers
and I'm still learning how to breathe again
turn around, take two steps back
there must be bigger worries
life is full of questions
we can answer them if we take the time
sometimes things don't work out
sit back and try to believe
focus, don't procrastinate
don't sidetrack yourself like I did
so let me be your reminder
and let me make the mistake for you
and I've learned she wasn't worth it
and I've learned patience is a virtue

My Intentions
03:21
|
|||
i’m trying to mold this into something that works
i’ve been tearing down these walls i once stood
with these hands are calloused from failure
attempts of construction that never end, never
this assembly line can't move any faster
the steady course we’ve had is nearing its decline
unless we pick up production
i never wanted more than to be satisfied
but am i capable this feels so far away
so far that forever seems closer
it’s too late, i’m sorry
don’t believe the stories
i can't control what is said.
i’m here now for what it’s worth
i’m hurt and honest
explanations feel useless
and i can remember
the bliss of ignorance now
no need to compromise heart and mind
i’m spoiled by the opposition forced to face this endeavor
will i succeed in managing the impossible
someone help me out i’m miserable
believe this, if nothing else i’m true to my word

Help Wanted
03:01
|
|||
honestly i waste my time
i can't please everyone
constantly you're overreacting
let me guess i bet you're still the victim
you'd like to think that
you're so good at understanding
the fan is on high
but nobody's getting colder
this irritating noise
just gives someone something to bitch about
i'll help you out
yeah he's trying so hard
maybe one day he'll learn
the hand reaching out
is the one slapping him in the face
yeah maybe one day I'll learn
I’ll learn from these mistakes
(perfect) i'm so perfectly wrong
i'm perfect at making mistakes
i’m asserting myself but i'm not getting anywhere
yeah i'm so perfect so perfectly wrong
yeah i'm so perfect at making mistake
