Nothing On My Back
was happiness a fad?
or was it in the lost and found again behind the issues.
it might not be so bad.
were all addicted to our tragedy,
I guess its what it had to be.
with nothing on my back,
its still enough to bring me down.
my minds about to crack,
cause what I thought could not be found.
matter of it fact,
its harder still when youre around.
with nothing on my back,
I cant help but drown.
I might as well belong to both of you.
and the mess you always seem to drag me through.
that night forever always haunting me.
but I guess it is what its supposed to be,
but spare your thoughts of sympathy.
with nothing on my back,
its still enough to bring me down.
my minds about to crack,
cause what I thought could not be found.
matter of it fact,
its harder still when youre around.
with nothing on my back,
I cant help but drown.
with nothing on my back,
its still enough to bring me down.
my minds about to crack,
cause what I thought could not be found.
with nothing on my back,
its still enough to bring me down.
my minds about to crack,
cause what I thought could not be found.
with nothing on my back,
its still enough to bring me down.
my minds about to crack,
cause what I thought could not be found.
with nothing on my back,
its still enough to bring me down.
my minds about to crack,
cause what I thought could not be found.
with nothing on my back,
its still enough to bring me down.
my minds about to crack,
cause what I thought could not be found.
matter of in fact,

I cant help but drown.

Fat Lip
Storming through the party like my name was El
Nino
When I'm handgun out drinking in the back of an El Camino
As a kid, I was a skid and no one knew me by name
I trashed my own houseparty cause nobody came
I know I'm not the one you thoguht you knew back in highschool
Never going, ever showing up when we had to
Is it attention that we crave, don't tell us to behave
I'm sick of always hearing act your age
Chorus:
I don't wanna waste my time
And become a casualty of society
I'll never fall in line
Become a victim of your conformity
And back down
Because you don't
Know us at all, we laugh when old people fall
But what would you expect with a conscience so small
Heavy metal and mullets it's how we were raised
Maiden and Priest were the gods that we praised
Cause we like having fun at other people's expense and
Cutting people down is just a minor offence then
It's none of your concern, I guess I'll never learn
I'm sick of being told to wait my turn
Chorus
Don't count on me, to let you know when
Don't count on me, I'll do it again
Don't count on me, it's the point you're missing
Don't count on me, cause I'm not listening
Well, I'm a no-goodnick lower middle class brat
Back packed and I don't give a shit about nothing
You be standing on the corner taking all that kufuffin
But you don't make sense from all the gas you be huffing
Then if the egg don't stain you'll be ringing off the hook
You're on the hitlist wanted in the telephone book
I like songs with disortion, to drink in proportion
The doctor said my mom should have an abortion
Chorus
Waste my time with them
Casualty of society
Waste my time again
Victim of your conformity
And back down

Rhythms
mad in a way, but I dont say,
its what youre used to.
I got the words but cant convey.
I know youll turn it all around.
cause thats the rhythms that you go through
get it back and youre not obliged to say,
not intact but youre better off anyway.
somehow its never up to me.
what if I would say?
simple words I cant relate.
I dont place upon your view.
its the rhythms that you go through.
I know what I want,
you just take me through the motions.
I know what I want,
and thats more than you can say.
since you found me out,
since you found me out,
since you found me out,
since you found me out.
your story still remains
its so unlike still you stay the same,
and all the while youre counting on your day to come,
but nothing ever told you.
you would say that its only for a day.
yesterdays last week tomorrows on its way.
and Im falling faster all the time.
what if I would say?
simple words I cant relate.
what came easy is now too late.
and it was always standing right in front of me.
I know what I want,
you just take me through the motions.
I know what I want,
and thats more than you can say.
all the time you thought worth saving,
you still end up with memories fading.
after all that you wouldnt do,
it makes no sense,
but its that rhythms that you go through.
I know what I want,
you just take me through the motions.
I know what I want,
and thats more than you can say. I know what I want,
you just take me through the motions.
I know what I want,
and thats more than you can say.
since you found me out,
since you found me out,
since you found me out,
since you found me out.

Motivation
whats the difference of never knowing at
all?
when every step I take is always too small.
maybe its just something I cant admit but lately,
I fell like I dont give a shit.
motivation such an aggravation,
accusations dont know how to take them.
inspirations getting hard to fake it.
concentrations never hard to brake it.
situation never what you want it to be.
whats the point of never making mistakes?
self-indulgence is such a hard habit to brake.
its all just a waste of time in the end.
I dont care so why should I even pretend.
motivation such an aggravation,
accusations dont know how to take them.
inspirations getting hard to fake it.
concentrations never hard to brake it.
situation never what you want it.
nothings new, everythings the same.
it keep on dragging me down, its getting kind of lame.
Im falling further behind, theres nothing to explain.
no matter what you say nothings gonna change my mind.
cant pretend on doubt until the end.
it seems like leaving friends has become.
this year trend and though I cant pretend.
its not the same but whos to blame,
for all those stupid things I never said.
motivation such an aggravation,
accusations dont know how to take them.
inspirations getting hard to fake it.
concentrations never hard to brake it.
situation never what you want it to be.
motivation such an aggravation,

In Too Deep
the faster were falling,
were stopping and stalling.
were running in circles again
just as things were looking up
you said it wasnt good enough.
but still were trying one morn time.
maybe were just trying to hard.
when really its closer than it is too far.
cause Im in too deep, and Im trying to keep,
up above in my head, instead of going under.
cause Im in too deep, and Im trying to keep,
up above in my head, instead of going under.
instead of going under.
seems like each time
Im with you I lose my mind.
because Im bending over backwards to relate.
its one thing to complain
but when youre driving me insane
well then I think its time that we took a bread.
maybe were just trying to hard.
when really its closer than it is too far.
cause Im in too deep, and Im trying to keep,
up above in my head, instead of going under.
cause Im in too deep, and Im trying to keep,
up above in my head, instead of going under.
instead of going under.
instead of going under.
I cant sit back and wonder why.
it took so long for this to die.
and I hate it when you fake it.
you cant hide it you might as well embrace it.
so believe me its not easy.
it seems that somethings telling me,
cause Im in too deep, and Im trying to keep,
up above in my head, instead of going under.
cause Im in too deep, and Im trying to keep,
up above in my head, instead of going under.
instead of going under.
instead of going under.
instead of going under again.
instead of going under.
instead of going under again.
instead of going under again.

Summer
its far beyond your reach, it holds a
place in time,
somewhere ahead is the back of the line.
I cant relate to your mistakes, awkwardly speaking with
nothing to say.
caught up in your life, excuses are so lame,
you may be different but Im still the same.
the reasons that you thought, the intention that you caught,
you say things are simple we both know theyre not.
you cant let it go,
whoa.
you cant but I know.
whoa, whoa you dont even know.
(chorus)
its not in what you do, more in what you say.
a million questions asked, the remnants of the past.
youve always been denied, but always by your side.
Ive always tried to, to understand you,
the worlds not learning from you.
whoa. whoa.
(chorus)

Handle This
You said it once before, you don't do those
things you used to anymore.
You say in doubt, were fading out, forgetting who we used to be.
Cause I will bring you down,
I don't want to miss, I don't think you can handle this.
You've lost what you can't find; it's never what you had in mind.
You take it with a smile; it's so easy when you're always in
denial
Just in time but out of line I can't make all the same mistakes
you want me to.
Cause I will bring you down,
I don't want to miss, I don't think you can handle this.
You've lost what you can't find; it's never what you had in mind.
Your giving up you know it's not what you need.
And it's true what you're going through.
Try so hard not listen to everything I never say.
Cause I will bring you down,
I don't want to miss, I don't think you can handle this.
You've lost what you can't find; it's never what you had in mind.
I'm getting over getting used to,
And after all that I put you through now I see I'm not the only
one.
I never thought It'd ever come to,
This in fact was never what you wanted from me or how you meant
it to be.

Crazy Amanda Bunkface
dont know what youve really got.
its hard to stay and not pretend.
you cant make sense in what youve thought.
it seems I cant comprehend.
well Im happy to be, only all that you see.
and Im not one to learn to be the same.
I dont wanna hear you bitch no more.
I was better of a year before.
no matter how I try I cant ignore.
but every time I think my brain gets sore
when Im with you.
whats so hard about good-byes?
Im sorry Im just not as keen
on planning out our perfect lives
when Im only 19.
cause Im happy to be only all that you see.
and Im not one to learn to be the same.
I dont wanna hear you bitch no more.
I was better of a year before.
no matter how I try I cant ignore.
but every time I think my brain gets sore
when Im with you.
Im on my way, cant you see thats the truth.
so long, I cant stay, cant you see thats the
truth.
Im on my way, cant you see thats the truth.
so long, I cant stay, cant you see thats,
see thats the, see thats the
last that I can take.
because its getting really hard to fake.
its not like its my problem that youre late.
why cant you just spare the lies I hate?
when Im with you.

All She's Got
this place reminde me of,
a time thats way to old.
these thoughts have gathered up the memories unfold.
but for now I dont see whats so wrong with
pretending.
its true I thought you knew.
believe her, its all shes got to pass the time
believe her, its over now shes passed her prime.
believe her, its all shes got to keep things right
believe her its all shes got its all shes
got.
its all shes got, its all shes got.
these days keep getting worse Im wasting all my time.
I thought Id come in first, instead I fell behind.
I dont know, I dont know if I can keep this up to
long.
it seems most every time my motives are all wrong.
but for now I dont see whats so wrong with
pretending.
its true I thought you knew.
believe her, its all shes got to pass the time
believe her, its over now shes passed her prime.
believe her, its all shes got to keep things right
believe her its all shes got its all shes
got.
its times like this, but times run out
its times like this, but times run out
its times like this, but times run out
its times like this, I want to,
believe her, its all shes got to pass the time
believe her, its over now shes passed her prime.
believe her, its all shes got to keep things right
believe her its all shes got its all shes
got

Heart Attack
remember when there was nothing else to do, but
lie and bed and, wonder how it was
always up to you, and no one else and,
early mornings, made by warnings, whats the point of the
alarm that Im ignoring?
its either raining, Im not complaining, but waking up
is hard to do so,
(chorus)
turn my head its back to bed with no delay,
cant be bothered by the phone ten times a day,
why get up my morning doesnt even start till two?
forget reality waking up is hard to do.
remember when we would hang out every day, and we would rather,
not be told what to do or what to say, cause nothing mattered.
never boring with slept in mornings, not ashamed of bad habits
that Im forming.
its not important if days are shortened, I cant make
time when nothings new,
cause waking up is hard to do so,
(chorus)
whats day when it all ends up the same, and lasts forever?
cant complain when theres nothing there to blame, and
things cant be better.
summer evenings, teenage grievings, got no problem with the life
that Ive been leading.
no concentration on hesitation, I cant make time when
nothings new,
cause waking up is hard to do so!

Pain For Pleasure
the seas have parted,
the endings started,
the sky has turned to black.
a killing spree through eternity,
the devil stabs you in the back,
its midnight now you must escape samehow,
torture is his leisure,
dont try to hide hell make you subside,
as he exchanges pain for pleasure,
(chorus)
pain for pleasure, hes the hunter youre the game,
pain for pleasure, satan is his name!
