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..

Rockin' to Our Graves
02:44

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.

I Think You're Right
04:01
|

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
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
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

We all keep secrets
Ones we hold so close, but never say
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 you 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

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

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...

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

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

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 everythings 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 everythings the same, just know i'll never change
Just know i'll never change
