No Nuance 02:29
She takes a raw percentage That she raises all the time Enforced with a gun It's not considered a crime You better do it her way Or you're gonna fuckin pay I think about what she thinks she needs and it's disgusting I can't believe my eyes, I can't believe it, no What she wants, she don't need, and she just happens to want everything And I, I can't believe my eyes He takes a slight advantage But he takes it all the time Says “don’t be dramatic, Doesn’t cross the line” He thinks he can’t be reached, But this shit is not OK I think about what he thinks he’s owed And my mind is blown I will not close my eyes I will not close them, no Who they are, he doesn’t see The way he treats them makes it so hard to succeed I will not close my eyes I think about what they think they need and it’s disgusting

Disaster 02:17
I'm in need of your love baby With everything I have I fall into you You just need to get over it maybe You gave it up to me and now I'm bored anew This is tearing my heart out I would dig it out for you with a spoon Don't jump the gun now If you kill yourself I can't abuse you Well it seems I might just be crazy The love I thought I felt, was it just abuse? It was indeed and as long as you want me I'll exploit your love and your body I'll use This is tearing my heart out I would dedicate, I'd do anything for you Just take your clothes off If you'll do anything then I need proof I'm in need of you You just like the abuse I'm in need of you You just like to abuse This is tearing my heart out I would dedicate, I'd do anything for you Just take your clothes off If you'll do anything then I need proof This is the ultimate decay The disaster of human abuse Maybe we'll rise to the day It's unlikely, but what can we do When I'm in need of you

I’ve been wishing, dreaming for some evidence I’m alive Seems like ages, decades- since I’ve had some kind of sign I’m a mess maybe it’s time I just laid down and died Will you wake me from this dream, or give me some indication why I miss everything I aim at, no matter how hard I try Every leap of faith I take I’m just a couple inches shy I know that for every winner, somebody has to lose If we’re meant to pick our own path, I lack the energy to choose Another evening passes and I’ve done nothing with my life I’m so over everything, just a stranger passing by I get so fucking angry and I have no idea why I’m trying to kick towards the light, but I am blind and my hands are tied Day after day it’s the same lame routine And I’m one step farther from where I want to be Day after day it gets harder to breath And I’m one step closer to taking my leave I'm trying to kick towards the light, but I am blind and my hands are tied I miss everything I aim at, no matter how hard I try Every leap of faith I take I’m just a couple inches shy I know that for every winner, somebody has to lose If we’re meant to pick our own path, I lack the energy to choose

You step to the unknown And forget me in a pile of your bones And when all is said and done You’ll come back to me to see what you’ve become And every question dies when there’s no one Who cares enough to keep them alive And this time, I decline to fuel the fire And let you take mine At first you were everything I wanted to be and more You were all I ever needed, and nothing I could afford I thought that it would be the two of us on top for evermore You are such a narcissist You might as well sit back and swallow your pride Cuz we all know we’re all gonna die That’s why we do the best that we can with this life And be a guiding light There wasn’t any air to breath in your house of cards And you didn’t even notice when it started to fall apart In a frantic race to outrun time, selling pieces of who you are You’re so full of shit

I think it's fine to have a good time To stay up late and masturbate all night I have your back, through thick and thin I will I would fight by your side each and every day I'd fight by your side if it was kill or be killed If we don't die side by side I hope you're there when I divide From this consciousness I would be by your side We don't have to die all alone no You are insane. Yeah I think about it each and every day But you have my back. Oh through thick and thin I will I would fight by your side each and every day I'd fight by your side if it was kill or be killed If we don't die side by side I hope you're there when I divide From this consciousness I would be by your side We don't have to die all alone no We don't have to die all alone no I must say, I would be by your side We don't have to die all alone no Why? Because we have each other We have each other

Rendezvous 03:11
So much has happened since our age of innocence Now it seems everything you do’s at your own expense When you ask me what went wrong, I try to play along Whatever took your light away’s no match for you And you’ll get past this too Let’s run away to our old rendezvous You’ve tried time and time, let’s try something new I still remember the best of you If I can think of what to say, maybe you’ll be OK I watched you venture out to endless possibility Now you can’t help but be your own worst enemy When you say this time you’ll be strong, I can’t help but play along Whatever took your light away’s got a hold on you But we will see this through Let’s run away to our old rendezvous You’ve tried time and time, let’s try something new Cuz I still remember the best of you If I can help you in the fight, maybe you’ll be alright I know I'm gonna die If I don't stop and think The depression drags me down The further down I sink And I'll drown at the bar I’m done playing along Whatever took your light away’s now a part of you Light’s always evading you Light sometimes can’t make it through I’ll go a last time to our old rendezvous But you’ve had time and time, and done nothing new. But I, I’ll always remember the best of you And though you’ll think I let you down, I won’t be there when you drown

Survive 02:33
I know that I have nothing good to say So if you just ignore me maybe I'll go away I got all these problems bottled up inside When I think I'm laughing I realize that I just cried And I'll just shrug it off No emotion any more Do a bunch of drugs And maybe I can close the door To all the fucked up shit outside I just wanna run and hide But instead I close my blinds And I'll just shrug it off For the jobs that were lost And I'll just shrug it off For the lives that that all cost Millions of people who are newly starving I will turn my back, I will turn the other cheek No, no I won't. I will not give in because we must survive I will not turn my back I will not turn the other cheek I will not stop talking when people tell me not to speak I will do everything that I can As an individual in this land Survive, we must survive Oh it won't matter anyway If we don't survive Goodbye Brady Goodbye Eric Goodbye to everyone we lost along the way, Greg Goodbye It won't matter anyway Goodbye
