1.) Grand Distraction

Oh, I can't help but see... 
This grand distraction from, 
the things we think we need, 
well what are you running from? 
Is it the thought of me?  
and the things we used to do. 
But that just can't be true, 
so what does it mean to you? 

And maybe we'll take this gun away from my head,  
maybe we'll talk again and realize, 
that maybe this thing here ain't half bad, 
maybe we'll talk again and realize... 

So curse me now, 
like I'm a ghost in your veins, 
a hex without a name, 
a good reminder of, 
the bad blood that remains. 
Is this what you want? 
Hate breaking down your frame. 
Is that all you've got? 
Because it still feels the same. 

And maybe we'll take this gun away from my head,  
maybe we'll talk again and realize, 
that maybe this thing here ain't half bad, 
maybe we'll talk again and realize... 

maybe we'll talk again and realize... 
maybe we'll talk again and realize... 

and I can't hardly say... 
and I can't hardly say... 

And maybe we'll take this gun away from my head,  
maybe we'll talk again and realize, 
that maybe this thing here ain't half bad, 
maybe we'll talk again and realize... 

maybe we'll talk again and realize... 
and I can't hardly say..

 2.) Rockin' (To Our Graves)

I heard you rolling in your grave 
listening to those same songs again 
I heard you rolling in your grave 
punchin' holes in your coffin 

Yeah, if I ever get the chance man 
I'd take it 
I'd rather die, than ever fake it 
rock is dead, it's on the doorstep 
I couldn't take one more step 

Cause we're rocking, rockin', rock and rollin to our graves again.

 3.) I Think You're Right

i can't look into your eyes 
without seeing some kind of sad disguise 
that keeps you hidden away 
are you hiding from me? 
or weaponizing your pain. 

all i ever wanted was to be your arrow 
so don't you hold me back 

we've been down this road 
we've even talked it out 
yeah - i think you're right 
but i don't know what's worse 
yeah, i don't know what's worse 
if we do this, we're cursed 

all i ever wanted was to be your arrow 
string me to your bow, i'd be so careful 
point me at the hearts of the people never there for you 
when you needed them 

all i ever wanted was to be your arrow 
so don't you hold me back 
don't you hold me back 
just hold me 

all i ever wanted was to be your arrow 
string me to your bow, i'd be so careful 
point me at the hearts of the people never there for you 
when you needed them

4.) Laughing on Mute

we're all degenerates 
sinning in our own unassuming way 
so when they tell you you're wrong 
what makes you think that they're right anyway 
cause they all got their secrets 
secrets that they hold so close but never say 

so the pain just goes on and on and on and on and on again 

we don't care about people from foreign places 
we don't care about families, only the colour of their faces 
we can afford to buy a fleet of predator drones, but we can't afford water to first nations homes 
and it goes, it goes, like greed run from a bloody nose 
you're bleeding on your sunday clothes 
do you know where taxes go? 
corporate bailouts or affordable homes. 

so just take a piece of my soul 

this voilence becomes the norm 
deafened ears in a thunderstorm 
your soul is worth more when it's left alone 
vulnerable and overexposed 
even christ inherited a golden crowd 
money makes this world go round 
your indifference keeps us all chained down 

we learned to split the atom 
can drop tungsten from space 
we can decimate this planet 
but can't solve plastic waste 
and i guess you can say i don't like the results 
we were promised teleports but got religious cults 
do hear it? do you feel that pain? 
billions of people all shaking their chains 
there's no life after 
no rebirth within 
if hell exists, it's a corporation 

so take a piece of our souls 

this voilence becomes the norm 
deafened ears in a thunderstorm 
your soul is worth more when it's left alone 
vulnerable and overexposed 
even christ inherited a golden crowd 
money makes this world go round 
your indifference keeps us all chained down 

the boot never changes 
the wearer's the same 
it pushes you down in the ground just the same 

the boat never changes 
the captain's the same 
full steam a head just to weather the waves

5.) No No No

and it's really not my fault 
for the words i didn't say 
when they spilled out of your mouth 
and you heard them, but it didn't change a thing 

and i can't blame myself 
but you know i should have tried 
when the choice is let you down 
or just give up and keep on getting high 

no no no 
you're like a drug to me 
we'll scream no no 
need you inside my veins 
we'll say no no no 
you're like a drug to me 
we'll scream no no no 
with you i feel no pain 

i can cross my i's 
you can dot my t's 
and when you say it don't make sense 
will you give up or just keep on reading 
and inexplicably, the words never seem to reach 
or go deep enough to change 
what you're feeling, so we medicate the pain 

no no no 
you're like a drug to me 
we'll scream no no 
need you inside my veins 
we'll say no no no 
you're like a drug to me 
we'll scream no no no 
with you i feel no pain 

let's keep mainlining your dream 
let's keep mainlining your dream 
let's keep mainlining your dream 

and you're never going to get it right

6.) Penelope

i hear you down the halls 
fingerprints on the walls 
and i know you're there, stalking around... 
is there life after death? 
i hope it's not a condo complex 
where our indescretions are on display, every day. 

penelope... 

can you have two wives in heaven? 
is sex sin or just obsession? 
i can't decide what i suffer the most 
i saw you at your lowest, penelope 
i know we weren't the closest 
but i don't deserve you haunting me for my infidelity 

penelope... 

i'm just trying to keep up with your good graces 
i'm just dying to meet, but i don't want to fake this 
and if all i can say is that i'm tired and wasted 
i'm still waiting 

penelope, what do you want from me? 

oh no...

7.) Dance Dance Retribution

i see you, we lock eyes and exchange truths 
you got a devil inside of you 
and it's laughing 
how dare you, gentrify my band moods 
abandon my negative attitude 
that you started 

and hey, i wish i knew 
i wish i knew you before 
before you opened that door 
but you're home now 

you're a black hole 
sucking light from a dying world 
a never ending painful swirl 
that creates nothing 
you just can't stop 
imploding at the worst times 
exploding to feel fine 
or feel anything 

and hey, i wish i knew 
i wish i knew you before 
before you opened that door 
but you're home now 

it can't end well 
did you think it would end another way? 
something left on your tongue to say 
now who's laughing 

it's a painful truth 
it's coming down to me and you 
an invariable quest for youth 
that's now ending

8.) 27 Club

i said 'now i'm not perfect, but you're not half bad' 
it's another song about being sad 
it's another song about suicide 
it's another song about being alive 

it's the last chance, last chance 
for you to take it all back, all back 

and i'll keep waiting 
for you to keep on singing along 

if i only knew that, knew that 
it was only half bad, half bad 
at 27 you've got nothing, no one 
'if you'd only have fun' 
but i don't want to be a part of that group 
27 ain't even through 
joplin, winehouse in my room 
cobain, yelchin in my tomb 

so ring me, just like a bell 
bring me down to your own personal hell 
we all make mistakes we can't erase 
we all make mistakes we can't escape 

and i'll keep waiting 
for you to keep on singing along 

if i only knew that, knew that 
it was only half bad, half bad 
at 27 you've got nothing, no one 
'if you'd only have fun' 
but i don't want to be a part of that group 
27 ain't even through 
joplin, winehouse in my room 
cobain, yelchin in my tomb 

27 ain't even through...

9.) Dreamers Disease

 

have you ever had a dream,  
where you walked right out of your sheets, 
and your body drifted across the room? 

well i have lost track 
and you know i never found my way back 
but i'm getting used to the weather here 

and i say, 'sometimes life ain't what you want it to be' 
'man, does it hurt?' 
'yeah, it feels bad, but you can't stay sad' 
and if this isn't how you need it to be 
then rearrange, disengage, yeah, let your brain from its cage 

we were lost, now we're found 
what a journey, what a cost 
and i didn't know, i wouldn't pay me back 
cashed cheques, ship wrecks, every love i've ever left 
and now i'm drowning, god damn it's confounding 

hey oh, yeah you know, if i'm still sleeping, man, don't ever wake me up 
and so, yeah you know, if everythings the same, just know i'll never change 
just know i'll never change 

cast off, drift off 
yeah you know my soul is made of cloth 
stitched together by whiskey and sin 
bad itch, crossed stitched 
yeah you know my existential crises will do the trick 

and i say, 'sometimes life ain't what you want it to be' 
'man, does it hurt?' 
'yeah, it feels bad, but you can't stay sad' 
and if this isn't how you need it to be 
then rearrange, disengage, yeah, let your brain from its cage 

we were lost, now we're found 
what a journey, what a cost 
and i didn't know, i wouldn't pay me back 
cashed cheques, ship wrecks, every love i've ever left 
and now i'm drowning, god damn it's confounding 

hey oh, yeah you know, if i'm still sleeping, man, don't ever wake me up 
and so, yeah you know, if everything's the same, just know i'll never change 
just know i'll never change 

it's like that one episode 
where bart loses his soul 
and he can't row his boat 
i hate knots 
because i get myself caught in lots 
and i never find my way out 

and i say, 'sometimes life ain't what you want it to be' 
'man, does it hurt?' 
'yeah, it feels bad, but you can't stay sad' 
and if this isn't how you need it to be 
then rearrange, disengage, yeah, let your brain from its cage 

hey oh, yeah you know, if i'm still sleeping, man, don't ever wake me up 
and so, yeah you know, if everything's the same, just know i'll never change 
just know i'll never change
