i think i see another dead end
watch the world collapse right ahead
let's just jump ship
and leave town
no one will notice that
we're not around
back to the beginning
and we'll just start again
take a right where we went left
promise to not ever make sense
so it's loving and leaving
for another round
remember the secrets
remember the sound
the sun was blinding
the stars were so bright
the moon was a sliver
in the blue sky
it is beyond comprehension we forgive and forget
remember the letters
and words in our heads
the world is collapsing it's another relapse
this cancer's contagious
and just look at the aftermath
the war is over--no one has won
try to herd us back to the beaten path
like shepherding lost sheep
but we're anything but
maybe we don't know we're were going
but we'll know when we get there
and the words rearrange
to the lies that make sense
to the world to the ones that want to know
but it's another dead end
time to jump ship and start again
the observations are more like assumptions
the path that's set is what's meant to follow
there's no fun in that
it's a path to the end of your life
the world is spinning
my hand's are clenched - knuckles white
if this is what life's supposed to be like
please let me off this ride
it's not so much my stomach
but my head's making me sick
this is just another trick
it's something that can be expected
subconscious persuasion
because that will work so well
it's mass media not individualism
that's killing society
we're killing society
it's not the lies we're spreading
it's the truths we're all telling
the meaning isn't holding up
illogical and logical
lets separate the facts
it's not over understanding
just over fixing up
we'll learn that sometimes
our best isn't enough
it looks like another dead end
the world is collapsing up ahead
let's go ahead jump ship and leave this town
no one will notice us not around
we'll just start again
take a right we're we went left
second chances are never done with
and sometime the where we want to go
will be where we end up

helpful devil

the fact is
i'm just wasting my time
waiting for something
to go right in my life

the memories blur as i black out
look into your eyes and i pass out
i guess you're gonna take me home again
and wait again

this time it's nothing more than wishful thinking
why let me out
it's just a bad excuse that you're mistaken
another night that will never be remembered

time and time again
we watch the world pass by
you let me try to drink my sorrow away
and then hold me when i cry
(i never was a happy drunk)

you watch the pain recede
the inhibitions fade
and take advantage of me
after all i'll never remember again

the memories blur as i black out
look into your eyes and i pass out
another night of drinking to an end
another night to be written off again

make sure you look youthful
but not underage
i know you're just hoping
for someone to take you away

it's a miserable feeling looking at me
wasting my life away
(wasting my life away)
ever so helpful finding the bars
paying the tabs
what is it that's wrong with this

the memories blur as i black out
look into your eyes as i pass out
another night of drinking to an end
another night to be written off again

it never was i'm sorry
it's when do you want to go out
leading me to destruction
it's a pity you didn't plan so far ahead

the memories blur as i black out
look into your eyes as i pass out
another night of drinking to an end
another night to be written off again

another night of drinking to an end
to an end
to an end
again

heartbreak of the worst kind

it was always you and your arrogance
oh what best friends
there was never any room for me
i wish i could have seen that was true

but you kept me around
just to push me around
and you watched me fall
just to help me up from the ground

i missed all the phrases you'd say
and i stayed around
hoping i'd hear them someday
once again

i said i was wrong when
i knew i was right
i never wanted a fight
because i knew what would come
the anger and screaming
the pushing the needing
the hating the berating
all for what i knew was the truth

you kept me around
just to push me around
you'd watch me fall down
just to pick me up from the ground

i never got sick of your lips
or sick of your eyes
sick of your hair
but i got sick of your lies

it was over and over
those words i once loved
i still loved i still loved
it shouldn't have been
so difficult to see
that maybe i loved you
but you never loved me

and i watched what i said
for the longest of times
before i thought you'd accept
what i knew was right
and i talked my way into
the final fight that we had
figured out all those phrases
i now knew were lies
and i fell in love again
with your rage-filled eyes

you kept me around
just to push me around
you watched me fall down
just to pick me up from the ground

well it was too late for good-byes
and to sad for tears
it was too much for drinking
the reality stayed there
i put too much effort
into a waste of my life
made stupid excuses
for your waste of a life
and we all make our choices
i certainly made mine
but i know that you never
should have had a place in my life

you kept me around
just to push me around
you'd watch me fall down
just to pick me up from the ground

i don't wanted to be kept around
just to be pushed around
or picked up from the ground
by the person who kicked me down

well i'm leaving you know
and i'm pushing you down
i won't stay to see you fall
i won't pick you up from the ground
yeah you can cry out
but it's not worth it know
since figuring out
i know that you're nothing but lies
