unknown

This is the first (thing I remember)
Now it's the last (thing left on my mind)
Afraid of the dark (do you hear me whisper)
An empty heart (replaced with paranoia)
Where do we go (Life's temporary)
After we're gone (Like new years resolution)
Why is this hard (Do you recognize me)
I kno i'm wrong (But I cant help believing)

I'm so lost
I'm barely here
I wish I could explain myself
But words escape me
It's too late
To save me
You're too late
You're too late

You're cold with disappointment
While I'm drowning in the next room
The last contagious victim of this plague
between us
I'm sick with apprehension
I'm crippled from exhaustion
And I dread the moment when
you finally come to kill me

I was cruising in my Stingray late one night FUCK YOU
when an XKE pulled up on the right
and rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
and challenged me then and there to a drag
I said, "you're on, buddy, my mill's runnin' fine
let's come off the line, now, at Sunset and Vine
I'll go you one better if you've got the nerve
let's race all the way to dead man's curve.
Dead man's curve
Dead man's curve
Won't come back from dead man's curve

The street was deserted late Friday night
we were buggin' each other while we sat out the light
we both popped the clutch when the light turned green
you shoulda heard the whine from my screamin' machine
I flew past LaBrea, Schwab's, and Crescent Heights
and all the Jag could see were my six taillights
he passed me at Doheny then I started to swerve
but I pulled her out and there we were
at Dead man's curve

Well, the last thing I remember, Doc, I started to swerve.
And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve.
I know I'll never forget that horrible sight,
I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right
won't come back from dead man's curve
Dead man's curve, Dead man's curve
Dead man's curve, Dead man's curve
Dead man's curve, Dead man's curve

I'm feeling what i want to feel
I'm saying what i've said all along
Because i know the things that are important to me
Because life is too short to be long

And those thoughts
That i've kept inside
With those words
That i could not hide
Before those times that always remind me
That all i ever did was try

So change your tune one step to make a stand
I want to speak my mind start my own african tribe
Now run into the deepest pile of shit
Cause that's where i'm going to blend in....go!

Those choices that i've never made
With those decisions that once cut me a break
Cause after all what's left in the end
There's somethings that they just can't take

So take a bow
Well you're not that great
Go pat your back
Go off and masturbate
Cause one thing that you know for sure
Your hand is not a lonesome date

i hear the phone, it rings so violently
Can't leave my room, can't breathe since she left me
I will admit, i hate those things i said
Girls always cry, guys will never admit they did

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

Don't tell me that it's over
I'm not used to this temptation
And when you come back running
There's no use for explanation
I think things are too hard for
Even with my expert knowledge
Most girls get them in trouble
Because they are rarely honest

What's with the jokes, all the routines they play
Screw with my head, now i cave in 'till they their way
Guys like to run, chicks like to yell, you see
Guys hate to fight, girls think it's therapy

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

Don't tell me that it's over
I'm not used to this temptation
And when you come back running
There's no use for explanation
I think things are too hard for
Even with my expert knowledge
Most girls get them in trouble
Because they are rarely honest

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

Don't tell me that it's over
I'm not used to this temptation
And when you come back running
There's no use for explanation
I think things are too hard for
Even with my expert knowledge
Most girls get them in trouble
Because they are rarely honest

Don't tell me that it's over
I'm not used to this temptation
And when you come back running
There's no use for explanation
I think things are too hard for
Even with my expert knowledge
Most girls get them in trouble
Because they are rarely honest

Don't tell me that it's over
I'm not used to this temptation

hanging out behind the club
On the weekend
Acting stupid, getting drunk with
My best friends
I couldn't wait for the summer and
The warped tour
I remember it's the first time that i saw
Her there.

She's getting kicked out of school
Because she's failing
I'm kind of nervous 'cause i think all her
Friends hate me
She's the one, she'll always be there
She took my hand and that made it
I swear.

Because i fell in love with the girl
At the rock show
She said 'what' and i told her that i
Didn't know
She's so cool, i'm gonna sneak in
Through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait 'til her parents go
Out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the
Rock show

When we said we were gonna
Move to vegas
I remember the look her mother gave us
Seventeen without a purpos or direction
We don't owe anyone a fucking
Explanation

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said 'what' and i told her that i
Didn't know
She's so cool, i'm gonna sneak in
Through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait 'til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
Black and white picture of her on my wall
I waited for her call
She always kept me waiting
And if i ever got another chance
I'd still ask her to dance
Because she kept me waiting

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said 'what' and i told her that i
Didn't know
She's so cool, i'm gonna sneak in
Through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait 'til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

With the girl at the rock show

I'll never forget tonight

i'm sick of always hearing
All those sad songs on the radio
All day it is there to remind
An over sensitive guy that he's lost and alone, yeah

I hate our favorite restaurant,
Our favorite movie, our favorite show
We would stay up all through the night
We would laugh and get high, and never answer the phone

I can't forgive, can't forget
Can't give in, what went wrong?
Cause you said this was right
You fucked up my life

I'm sick of always hearing
Sappy love songs on the radio
This place, it's fucking cursed and it's plagued
And i can never escape when my heart it explodes

I can't forgive, can't forget
Can't give in, what went wrong?
Cos you said this was right
You fucked up my life

I'm kicking out fiercely at the word around me
What went wrong?
I'm kicking out fiercely at the word around me
What went wrong?
I'm kicking out fiercely at the word around me
What went wrong?
I'm kicking out fiercely at the word around me
What went wrong?
I'm kicking

Come here,
please hold my hand for now,
help me
I'm scared please show me how,
to fight this
God has a master plan
And I guess
I am in his demand
Please save me,
this time I cannot run
And I'll see
>You when this is done
and now I
>Have come to realise
that you are
the one whos left behind

Please Stay,
Until I'm gone,
I'm here hold on,
tell me I'm right here waiting

I see,
>a light it feels good
And I'll come
back soon just like you would
It's useless,
>my name has made the list
and I wish
I gave you one last kiss

Please Stay
Until I'm gone
I'm here hold on
tell me I'm right here waiting
And take,
my one last breath
and don't forget
that I will be right here
waiting

Please Stay
Until I'm gone
I'm here hold on
tell me I'm right here waiting
And take,
my one last breath
and don't forget
that I will be right here
waiting

Six bottles went down the drain
One hous a waste of time
I'd ask if you feel the same
Still pushing that chance to try
Your breath in this cool room chill
Long hair that blows side to side
You speak and make time stand still
And each time you walk right on by

Like violence, you have me forever and after
Like violence, you have me forever and after

Can't count all the eyes that stare
Can't count all the things they see
She kills with no life to spare
Just victims are left to bleed
One drink and the pain goes down
Soft shadows lay by her feet
Lay still as you fall asleep
Fall asleep

Like violence, you have me forever and after
Like violence, you kill me
Like violence, you kill me

I got no regret right now, I'm feeling this.
The air is so cold and low, I'm feeling this.
Let me go in her room, I'm feeling this.
I wanna take off her clothes, I'm feeling this.
Show me the way to bed, I'm feeling this.
Show me the way you move, I'm feeling this.
Fuck it its such a blur, I'm feeling this.
I love all the things you do, I'm feeling this.

Fate fell short this time
Your smile fades in the summer
Place your hand in mine
I'll leave when I wanna

Where do we go from here?
Turn all the lights down now.
Smiling from ear to ear.
Our breathing has got too loud.
Show me the bedroom floor.
Show me the bathroom mirror.
We're taking this way too slow.
Take me away from here.

Fate fell short this time
Your smile fadesin the summer
Place your hand in mine
I'll leave when I wanna

This place was never the same again
after you came and went
How could you say you meant anything
different to anyone standing alone
on the street with a cigarette on the
first night we met
Look to the past and remember a smile
And maybe tonight I could breathe for awhile
I'm not in the scene, I think I'm falling asleep.
But then all that means is
I'll always be dreaming of you

Fate fell short this time
Your smile fadesin the summer
Place your hand in mine
I'll leave when I wanna

Are we alone do you feel it
So lost and disillusioned

Everything has fallen to pieces,
earth is dying help me Jesus
We need guidance, we've been misled,
young and hostile but not stupid.

Corporate leaders, politicians,
kids can't vote adults elect them
Mobs that rule the school and workplace,
signs that caution, sixteen's unsafe.

We really need to see this through,
we never wanted to be abused
We'll never give up,it's no use,
if we're fucked up you're to blame!

Let this train wreck burn more slowly,
kids are victims in this story
Drown our youth with usless warnings,
teenage rules they`re fucked and boring

We really need to see this through,
we never wanted to be abused
We'll never give up,it's no use,
if we're fucked up you're to blame!

Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to ...

We really need to see this through,
we never wanted to be abused,
We'll never give up,it's no use,
if we're fucked up you're to blame!

outside the carolers start to sing
I can't describe the joy they bring
Cause joy is something they don't bring me

My girlfriend is by my side
From the roof are hanging sickles of ice
Their whiny voices get irritating
It's christmas time again

So i stand with a dead smile on my face
Wondering how much of my time they'll waste
Oh god, i hate these satan's helpers

And then i guess i must have snapped
Because i grabbed the baseball bat
And made them all run for shelter

It's christmas time, again
It's time to be nice to the people you can't stand, all year
I'm growing tired of all this christmas cheer

You people scare me
Please stay away from my house
If you don't wanna get beat down
Just leave the presents and then leave me alone

Well, i guess it's not cool to freak on christmas eve
Cause the cops came and arrested me
They had an unfair advantage

And even though the jail didn't have a tree
Christmas came a night early
Cause some guy named bubba unwrapped my package

It's christmas time, again
It's time to be nice to the people you can't stand, all year
I'm growing tired of all this christmas cheer

You people scare me
Please stay away from my house
If you don't wanna get beat down
Just leave the presents and then leave me alone

I won't be home, i won't be home for christmas
I won't be home, i won't be home for christmas
(repeat till end)
