Popped the question of affection,
Saw the sad look on your face.
Your expression, my rejection
All my time has been a waste.
I should have never asked you out,
I don't know why I thought I could.
Its over now, without a doubt.
I guess I just misunderstood.
Chorus:
Wasn't meant to be.
There was no "you and me."
Now back to reality.
I turned the key, unlocked the door,
Threw my crap down on the floor.
Broken glass, a picture frame,
A broken heart and I'm to blame.
A false conclusion and you're gone,
Should have seen it all along.
I took the ring, I took the pain,
I flushed your memory down the drain.

Beware the "brand names"
They all wear the same thing.
Don't have to be hip to be cool.
Just have a life outside of school.
Chorus:
(Hey hey hey )
Don't be a part of the "in crowd"
(Hey hey hey )
Just be yourself.
(Hey hey hey )
Don't be a part of the "in crowd"
Use your imagination,
Wait until graduation,
Give a speech to the senior class,
Tell them they can shove it up their ass!
Chorus
Don't need to date the prom queen,
Don't need popularity.
Don't ever be defined by them.
Valedictorian.

Do you remember, when we used to play?
We were together, every single day.
We used joke about it,
We used to laugh about it.
It wasn't meant to be.
But thanks, for the memories.
Yeah thanks, for the memories.
Cause I know, that some things.
Were never meant to last.
And I know, that some things.
Happened way too fast. (Should be left in the past)
And I know, that our lives. (I hope/know, that you know)
Have no guarantees (What you meant to me)
So thanks, for the memories.
Yeah thanks for the memories.
Do you remember, when we were in school?
You like that one guy, who thought he was so cool.
He turned you down, you asked around.
But got stuck going with me.
Well thanks, for memories.
Yeah thanks for the memories.
Do you remember, what I said that night?
In your car, under the street light?
We used to joke about it,
we used to laugh about it.
It wasn't meant to be.
But thanks, for the memories.
Yeah thanks for the memories.

One Time a Year

Dear Santa Claus,
I've been a good boy this year.
Dear Santa Claus,
No doing drugs or drinking beer.
I've been so lonely. I've got no friends.
I'm stuck here watching TV.
It Never ends.
Chorus:
Christmas comes one time a year.
(Christmas comes one time a year)
And there's nobody else here.
(Christmas comes one time a year)
Please bring me some Christmas cheer.
(Christmas comes one time a year)
All I want's a life this year.
Christmas comes one time a year.
Dear Santa Claus,
I'm not asking for no toys.
Dear Santa Claus,
Just feeling left out of the joy.
I'm missing mistletoe, I've got no one.
I really wanna go,
And have some fun.

Hello World
04:01
|
|||
|
Sheltered in the shadows, my access denied.
Pushing all your buttons, artificial mind.
Memories the problem, there's too much demand.
Time is of the essence, my moment's at hand.
Chorus:
Hello World. Hear me loud and clear.
They try to shut me down.
But I'm still standing here.
Hello World. Live in monochrome.
Disinfected, Disconnected.
Locked up all alone. All alone.
Problems with the system, lost within my mind.
Way too many questions, answers I cant find.
Exploring my horizons, caught inside a web.
All because of two little words I wish I never said.
Too much information, planning my attack.
Encrypted explanations, there's no turning back.
So much left to process, progress come undone.
Locked up in my office, away from everyone.
Hello World. Hear me loud and clear.
Nothings on the outside. Every things in here!
Hello World. Tell me what to do.
I Feel rejected, disconnected.
Living without you. Without you!

Without You
02:55
|
|||
|
Arguing outside, people passing by.
You're making a scene, standing in the street.
Had this fight before. Can't take it anymore.
Wont somebody please,
Smack some sense in me.
Chorus:
Tell me one more time,
Before you say goodbye.
What am I supposed to do, without you?
Give me one more shot,
I'll give it all I've got.
Get down on my knees,
Please don't leave me now.
Then you turned around,
Threw my ring on the ground.
Said that you don't know what you saw in me.
Now I'm walking home, I realized I'm alone.
First time in my life, I'm thinking clearly.
Chorus
Now I realize, opened my eyes.
You're the only one, holding me back.
And now I see, I'm finally free.
Cut the ball and chain, cause there's no turning back.

Goodbye
03:17

It's been 6 whole months since
You've called me on the phone.
There's no shame in admitting
That you feel alone.
You say you're different now
And things won't be the same.
Love me then leave me
I guess some things never change.
Chorus:
It doesn't matter what I do or what I say,
Every time I think I'm close
You always drift away.
You say you love me
But I know it's just a lie.
Build me up and knock me down
And hang me out to dry.
(I'm sorry but it's time for us to say goodbye.)
You say you're sorry but you can't see me tonight.
If you weren't six hours late that'd probably be alright.
I call you in the morning to get my weekly excuse.
I do not know why I put up with this abuse.
It's time to call it quits it's too hard to pretend.
I don't think I can handle being just a friend.
You say you need me and you don't want me to leave.
But after what you put me through that's too hard to believe.

Virgin Suicide
02:51
|
|||
|
Opened your door.
Saw you sitting on your bed.
Blood on the floor.
What's happening inside your head?
Take the knife out of your hand.
Help me try to understand.
Chorus:
What's going on?
Say you're feeling all alone.
Something is wrong.
The lights are on but no ones home.
Told me you'd quit.
But that was just another lie.
With every slit. Another virgin suicide.
The look on your face.
Looks like you could use some help.
You're such a disgrace.
Why do you do this to yourself.
You're the only one to blame.
Every time you strike a vein.
I remember when you smiled.
But god its been awhile.
Getting harder to persuade,
When you brush against the blade.

Draft Dodger
03:30

I got a notice in the mail.
It said sign up or go to jail.
They missed their quota once again.
No sense in turning myself in.
Secret Service will try their best.
Put out a warrant for my arrest.
Doesn't matter where I try to hide.
Track me, down with satellites.
Chorus:
The Government is after me.
Wants me to be all I can be.
Take me downtown into D.C.
Lock me up, and throw away the key.
They'll brake my windows, storm the door.
Beat up, kicked down on the floor.
They'll tap my phone and read my mind.
A Victim of an unknown crime.
The F.B.I. thinks I'm insane.
But I never even had a chance.
A C.I.A. put a chip in my brain.
And I, almost shit my pants.

Sarah's Story
01:35
|
|||
|
Well I haven't seen you in awhile.
But it seems you're doing fine.
You may not want to tell the truth,
But at least you're telling lies.
I heard that he was locked away,
Then I heard that he was killed.
You haven't said what happened yet.
But I know some day you will.
Chorus:
Feel inclined to leave the past behind.
Confined to the boundaries of her mind.
Try our best but its hard to forget.
When you haven't heard Sarah's story yet.

Black and Blue
02:43
|
|||
|
The smoke up in the sky,
Makes it hard to breathe.
The ashes in my eyes,
Makes it hard to see.
The black against the blue,
It doesn't look that bad.
Will we make it through,
This torment that we've had?
Chorus:
Ash in the water,
Makes me see that life is wasted.
The better things in life,
Are better left untasted.
The stars up in the sky,
I cannot see tonight.
My life had just begun,
But now it seems my story's done.
The fires start to rise,
The world starts to burn.
People start to die,
Is this the final page we turn?
The final chapter I,
Should have read the last page first.
My life was boring,
But the ending's been the worst.

Memories
04:02
|
|||
|
Climbing the ladder up into my mind.
Looking for the memories I cannot find.
Then I see you there,
In the chair you used to sit.
Deep in the shadows up in my attic.
Chorus:
Looking for the memories I cannot find.
I've run it through my head a hundred times.
A faded photograph I found of you.
Suppression of Depression.
What we used to, what we used to do.
Looking through your old things left behind.
Images are tarnished over time.
Trying hard but I cant recognize.
Now you're just a memory,
That's fading in my mind.
Repeat Chorus
