Hey everybody I'm working on putting up the lyrics for all our tunes. It's a work in progress.


“Angels Don’t Come To Car Crashes”
Driving in a car that I’m not able to steer
Much like an alcoholic; I wish I had a beer
I may be poetic, but I aint not Allen Poe
I’m making simple music to fight for what I know

I’m losing all of my control
I’m seeing what is down the road
And it aint looking good for me

Where my dreams don’t come true
Where no angels sing
I'm a god and I'm an enemy
Freedom is what I want to bring

Hanging from a rope, dancing by the string
Royalty has nothing and the peasants are the kings
My courage was left back 10 miles ago
I guess I was right, and it just goes to show that...
“Sledgehammer Inc.”
You're on my mind making suicide
Seem so appealing, is it the truth?
From the tv's glare to god knows where
i don't know what im supposed to do

You wana break me? Well come on and take me.

You're gonna work till the day you die
but its not the money that will get you by

I'm walking around like I'm looking for something
I don't know, all I found is nothing
just waiting for something to happen
maybe to see, see the attraction

It's for your money and your lack of pride
Peniless nonsense that makes you feel alive
“Tuning In, Tuning Out”
I know there’s no cure for me
The glow from my tv
Reminds me of who I am to be
A piece of fuzz, lost and black
Useless and random and never going back

Arm in arm we dance into the future
Knocking out everyone standing in our way
That’s how I want, and that’s how it’ll be
That’s my tv and what it means to me
You may be gone but you’re tuning in 
Your conscience is mine don’t worry I won’t let you sin
I’m your host black jacket and tie, now let’s chase the fox and watch when he lies 

Real life animation
Taking over no competition
Real life animation
The answer’s in my televsion

Hell yeah I’ll buy whatever you’re selling 
And I’ll never go no I won’t go telling
Everything you did every lie you sold
I bought what you were selling now I’ve grown cold
I’m feeling numb
Head’s getting heavy
But I don’t have plans man I’m always ready
Take the bullet for my fucked up team
I know it sounds obscene

“Fairweather Fiend”
Where were you, when everyone moved away
Where were you, when i was thrown in the fray
The fairweather friend, will never see the end
But i still want to know, where were you, where were you 

There's been so many kinds of bullshit, and every time im sinking low
Into every hole ive seen, into every dark place i know
There's always been the constant, it stuck and it never went away
All through the roughest times, its why im standing here today

I made it through with no thanks to you
It was all on me
Now its nothing like the good old days
And no ones looking out for you or me

I've had so many chance, to hang myself from so many ropes
But i ran and turned around, i wont be the one who chokes
You'd come and go when it was good for you, never seeing anything through
Not there for me, not around for anyone its true

I trusted you, but never again
There was a time when i needed you
The past is past, but you wouldn;t make it last
You wouldn't make it last


“Toss Me A Shovel”
You know I dug my grave so shut the fuck up and help me dig
The world is such a bitch and she called me a mother fucker
I keep complaining but the pain in my arm is stinging
Please for the love of god. Stop the singing

It’s high ho let’s go the shitty jobs we know
They work our ass and then we pass and back to work we go

You know I never really cared. I always volunteered for stupid shit
Like a 21 year old in Vegas; I went big and blew it
Well now the gutters calling and its begging me to have a seat
Lies and prostitution are the only ways to beat the heat

“Pathetic Perception Of Perfection”
I’m a supernothing sit down, sleep complain and mope around
Hate myself and wish for something to believe in

The world was an adventure I just let pass me by
While everybody else was out and alive
Motivation was gone, and the laziness won
And I left myself in the dust
All of my days are melded to one
No sense of time because to me there’s none
But now im a loser, opportunity abuser
A hopeless cause and now im a mess

With a fist full of anger, my head's filled with regret
And I got nothing but I'm willing to bet
If the lights went out and tried to shout 
I would still fall just the same
Now I hate myself for being me
This is not how I wanted to be
Yeah I threw it all away, and I chose to stay
Now I'd do anything for a second chance.

I'm a supernothing, Nothing at all

“Who’s Playing Under the Burning Bridge?”
Look who's playing under the fire
He sits alone, wrought with desire
Up above, everyone sits high
They're burning, and he still doesnt know why

All alone, now think about everything you did
All alone,sitting under the burning bridge

I lie awake at night, I toss and i turn
She told me i was worthless, then she started to burn
I thought it was me, that something was wrong
But then Nero came out and started playing that song

If you follow flames down
They lead you back to a ghost town
There i am, there i sing
Watching under everything
If you follow the flames down
You're stuck and trouble bound
Believe me because I've been told
The worst things happen when you're all alone

“Scared Straight”
He pulled a five iron out of his bag 
And said "run you little pretty boy you’re just a fag.
look what you’ve done to me, look what you’re doing to society"
But from where we stand, everything’s fine

I don’t know how well I'd be
If you told me you respect me but I just can't marry
That doesn’t seem fair at all
If two of my best friends vow hand in hand 
I want to be there as the best man
Not standing with a picket sign

Society’s not that fragile
Who the fuck said it would fall apart?

I don’t think that it's unreasonable to ask for something more
I was to live in a society where emotions can be explored
And not abhorred. Just explored

So when I hear that bobby and Billy 
Can't adopt a son cant start a family
I think to myself why
Why is there no fucking reason
When did sexuality become religious treason
It’s just a different way of life

“Tell You”
I'm backed in a corner
You're shoving threats right down my throat
If you wanna walk go right ahead
I'd try to tell you but then I choke

iI you only knew, what i knew, you'd be gone, and you wouldnt know what to do
This was my biggest fear because

The one thing 
That i have to tell you
Is the one thing
You dont want to hear
Don't take it out on me
This isn't how I wanted it to be

There's been a million verses
Jammed in my fucking head
About cheating and lying and choking and dying
And karma is my end
Saying that you can't stop saying that you won't stop
I'm just trying to warn you
Get it through your skull
i don't know what else to tell you

Words can break you
Words can twist you right around
Anxiety in the dictionary
And they're all just coming to get me

“Rooftops”
For rent, for my aggrivation
She won't take that away
It can't become so vacant
There’s too much room in O’shea
So where do you go to be creative?
Where do you go to get away?
Your city will betray you
And then you’ll be a stray

I see the roofs through the broken glass
There’s room for all of us, for all our pasts

So when someone asks you to leave
From the rooftops to the streets
Take your courage and all of your tenacity
Cause I want you to believe
That you’re capable of anything
No matter what they say
It can't become so vacant
There’s too much room in O’shea

“Danger!”
When was the first time you looked in the mirror?
And hated what you saw, but saw everything clearer
The world you knew, has fallen to change
With your fate in your hands, it’s time to rearrange 

Danger and destiny, ambition and uncertainty

When life gives you lemons pop a bottle of champagne
And as long as you stay true then ill always do the same
Can you control your fate? I'd like to think so
But we’ll always seize today, that’s the only thing I know

Outlook’s looking ordinary, four walls and a cemetery
You can try and try my friend, I hope you make it in the end
Where’s the way I thought it was? Now I’m lost and unsure because
I had the strength to get away. Now danger’s come to ruin my day

“Lost Father Justice”
Yesterday;s man, was guilty
And today the innocent still aren’t free
The hope that you have is empty 
Even though that justice isn’t guranteed 
Call my wife, and call my lawyer
One will lie the other one will leave
As I sit in my cell, I wonder how this happened to me

It’s a mistake hell I know I’ll be fine
I’ve got five hundred bucks, cigarettes by side
I’m a saint among sinners, I know that’s a lie
But I’ve never gone wrong, man you’ve got the wrong guy
Justice is gone, I know I’m all alone 
But I ain’t Jesus Christ so man toss me a bone

I may be guilty 
I may  be cheap
But I’m believing that I’ll be free
So baby hold on, just one more day 
Soon I’ll be on my way

I promised I’d come home, I know I didn’t try
But I’m not ready, this can’t be goodbye

I may be a goner, but there’s a hope in my eyes 
I’ve lived  how I wanted, and now I will die 
My wife’s been waiting and the kids are safe at home
And I’m the father they’ll never know

“Far Along”
You're far along, You're on your way
But you still feel all the pain
It's a curse, but its the truth
There's only so much that we can do

Nostalgia is, part of who you are
The reminder when you move away
Don't put it down, don't tell me it's ok
i'm just looking to stay sane

Ready to jump, to throw it all away
It doesn't matter where i'll go
Burnt out, on cigarettes and time
This is as far as i go

When it's quiet, when it's dark
When i'm on the ground cause i fell apart
I'm torn in half on the inside
I'm bending over backwards
There aren't any answers
To get through this kind of pain

“Calling Home”
We've waited so long
For the change that decided not to come
This world we try to survive
Knocks me down and makes me want to die

I called my friend up on the phone
Even though i still feel all alone
My scattered brain, broken faith
My troubled heart I'll have to face
But im standing here to defend
What i believe and what I said 
Tomorrow, I'll write the page
I'm full of hate and rage

You turn on the news
And your brain is set to self abuse
Repetition and lies, and no one can deny

Thats it's gone too far
And now we're left with the scars
Of a world that's for not
What we hated we bought and sold
Now it's all grown too old
It's a world of sorrow when we can't change tomorrow

We called our friend up on the phone
Even though we still feel all alone
Our scattered brains, broken faiths
Our troubled hearts we'll have to face
But we're standing here to defend
What we believe and what we said
Tomorrow, we'll write the page
We're full of hope we set the stage

Every time i think about the world's present state
I wonder if we'll ever find the answers ,but we're late
We've left so much to ash and now we're living in the dust
You're thinking about change? Well I say its a must
