You're dead and that's a shame But I can't help but crack a smile Can't help but crack a joke Can't help but laugh for a little while I'm getting dirty looks From everyone you knew But I can't help but think That it's what you'd be doing too I'm rolling on the floor While you're rolling in your grave Nobody thinks it's funny But you loved to misbehave Life's too short to follow rules And fit the social norm The rest of us aren't dead just yet I bet you're still lukewarm Laughing at your funeral Not out of disrespect And I'm not trying to be cruel I'm laughing at your funeral 'Cause crying bummed you out And you thought dark humor was cool You always said, if you were dead You'd want us all to smile Crack open a beer And go get into something wild You said, "Grieving is for pussies, Even if you're out of luck. And if you don't agree with me, Then you can go get fucked!" Laughing at your funeral Not out of disrespect And I'm not trying to be cruel I'm laughing at your funeral 'Cause crying bummed you out And you thought dark humor was cool

You can't hurt me Because I'm trying so hard constantly I'm a master masochist Hell bent on apathy A self-loathing atheist I don't believe in me Lend me a hand And I'll lend you my whip My paddles, my restraints I just wanna be detained While you're beating out my brains Because my pleasure Has always been my pain I'm fixated on a fix I'm a hopeless nihilist Antidotally inept My whole life, I've never slept I'm the poisoned idea Conflicting my interest A resolution in regress A helping hand around my neck A helping hand around my neck Dissatisfaction guaranteed Entropy within the scheme The sardonic relief Who lost hope And lost belief I'm the cure for cancer If the cure was a disease You can't hurt me If I can't hurt me You can't hurt me You can't hurt me Because I'm trying so hard constantly I'm a master masochist Hell bent on apathy A self-loathing atheist I don't believe in me I'm fixated on a fix I'm a hopeless nihilist A resolution in regress A helping hand around my neck A helping hand around my neck You can't hurt me Because my pleasure Has always been my fucking pain

Waking up Monday morning Mourning Sunday, yet again Yeah, I know this reeling feeling By this point, it's my best friend It's as if I cut the rope And let the anchor draw me in To the sea of my unhappiness Another wasted day begins with Breakfast in dread Fighting a war inside my head I'm treading water In boots made out of lead I'm having breakfast in dread (Breakfast in dread) Fighting a way inside my head (War inside my head) I'm treading water In boots made out of lead Now that Monday's come and gone Tuesday and Wednesday drag along And I was thirstier on Thursday For this feeling to move on And by Friday I was drowning In the liquor I was downing And I don't remember Saturday But Sunday's bound to bring another Breakfast in dread Fighting a war inside my head I'm treading water In boots made out of lead I'm having breakfast in dread (Breakfast in dread) Fighting a way inside my head (War inside my head) I'm treading water In boots made out of lead

Word Vomit 02:07
You might say that I'm an asshole And that's your choice to make But I wouldn't say a word behind your back That I haven't already said to your face You were kind enough To hold back my hair But I can't hold my tongue So I just let you have it there Word vomit or Real vomit, I Can't tell But I probably don't want it Word vomit or Real vomit, I Can't predict it So, I'm probably gonna bomb it Go tell all your friends I'm gonna spill it all My face is on the toilet seat My drinks are on the wall It's probably not the time Or place for heart to hearts But seven rum and cokes ago I took a break from being smart Word vomit or Real vomit, I Can't tell But I probably don't want it Word vomit or Real vomit, I Can't predict it So, I'm probably gonna bomb it Word vomit or Real vomit, yeah Goddamn Really wish I hadn't started Word vomit or Real vomit, I Didn't mean to But I guess I'm being honest I guess I'm being honest I guess I'm being honest Wish I'd just puked

Sirens 02:50
The needles 'round your heart Prick my fingers And I plunge in deep But the tremor lingers Have I done enough Or far too much Is it too late to go back now? Is it too late to go back now? And the sirens were quiet for you Yeah the sirens were quiet for you Deserved a wailing, kicking Screaming procession And a mess and a fight And a raging ascension But the sirens were quiet for you Yeah the sirens were quiet for you Shove the 40's in the trunk And I pray they don't check But your hands are tied Around my neck Drown beneath the seats And my stomach feels sick Is it too late to go back now? Is it too late to go back now? And the sirens were quiet for you Yeah the sirens were quiet for you Deserved a wailing, kicking Screaming procession And a mess and a fight And a raging ascension But the sirens were quiet for you Yeah the sirens were quiet for you The needles 'round your heart Prick my fingers And I plunge in deep But the tremor lingers Have I done enough Or far too much Is it too late to go back now? Is it too late to go back now? Is it too late to go back now? And the sirens were quiet for you Yeah the sirens were quiet for you Deserved a wailing, kicking Screaming procession And a mess and a fight And a raging ascension But the sirens were quiet for you Yeah the sirens were quiet for you The sirens were quiet for you The sirens were quiet for you Yeah the sirens were quiet for you

Well, I settled the score But I still want more 'Cause it just doesn't get me Like it did before So I call up my guy But it's late at night And he wants another five Just for making the drive And I may not feel it now With my pockets all turned out But I'm glad I spent My last ten bucks on you I gave it all away Just to get you to stay And I learned a lot of things About myself that way True family and friends Stick it out 'til the end And even though we fell apart I know I'm better for it There's no need to figure out What was spent back then right now That's why I'm glad I spent My last ten bucks on you Addictions are debilitating And love is a game you can't win Baby, I know it's crazy We're coping by joking Eloping and choking We're stuck in the middle And blindly provoking Each other in ways With the bullshit we play Just be true to yourself I hope you find your way 'Cause there's no guarantee That tomorrow will be One of us may not wake I guess we'll wait and see And I may not feel it now With my pockets all turned out But I'm glad I spent My last ten bucks on you And I know I feel it now With my life turned inside out That's why I'm glad I spent My last ten bucks on you

Oddballs 02:36
When everything feels so shitty And it's bummin' you out Don't go lookin' for pity Just overcome self-doubt There are monsters among us Who thrive on the life That they can suck out of us But you've gotta fight! We're all oddballs and weirdos Anti-heroes and zeroes Creative and flawed Believe in yourself (Not God!) Damn all the doubters And religious touters You're better than any of them You feel perfectly worthless Empty and deserted And I can relate An ideal disaster A car crashing faster The laughter right after The steps that you take Takes a toll You'll come face to face With the problems you can't erase The malice And the malaise Just keep on staying true Just keep doing it for you Just keep counting down the days 'Til you can leave this place And go You can go When everything feels so shitty And it's bummin' you out Don't go lookin' for pity Just overcome self-doubt There are monsters among us Who thrive on the life That they can suck out of us But you've gotta fight! We're all oddballs and weirdos Anti-heroes and zeroes Creative and flawed Believe in yourself (Not God!) Damn all the doubters And religious touters You're better than any of them We're all oddballs and weirdos Anti-heroes and zeroes Creative and flawed Believe in yourself Not God
