1. (It's Sometimes Like It Never Started)

2. Love American

Our love is all the we ever had Our love is all that we'll ever have Boys and girls, guys and dolls You were finding faith in
bathroom stalls And broken beds spring fractured spines Fall for the right kids all at the wrong times And in a world of sluts we
keep the wet dream alive Yea, our daught is drying out You go nowhere in a nowhere town and no one's listening to the sound of
breaking down and breaking out is just wishful thinking We're taking walks around the hearts and homes we'll never own You go
nowhere in a nowhere town and no one's listening to the sound of breaking down and breaking out is just wishful thinking You go
nowhere in a nowhere town We're growing up by falling down We love the songs because we live the songs in condemned flats between
rights and wrongs And all we know is that we'll never know We love the hearts but the hearts love us even more (Keep loving. Keep
brething. Keep living.) Desperate and true- Thinking of you Borrowed and blue- Sinking with you

3. Young Hearts Be Free Tonight

Send my regards, see my new scars? I'm half-dead from all these love songs Intro to incoming end- sing the ones that make you
want to live The world is spinning 'round and 'round and we're just staring at the ground (It's only everything) It's been too
long since the last time we felt alive We're digging our own graves- We're damning our own prayers And these are songs the world
would sing, but they're too deaf for honesty And these are lives the world would lead but they're against injury Dance to the
misery of your life put to back beat Dance to the sound of everything you ever lost- never had nothing at all I wouldn't be here
if I never plugged into this outlet There is a world waiting for us to live in it (viva love) Sing everything you ever loved, for
eveything you will one day love Long live the sound of desperation Long live the stereo destruction

4. Since Always

Cold cold keep shakinf Sing sing keep sinking Let the cars keep swerving Let the songs keep skipping Crush crush keep kissing
Shoot shoot keep missing I used to compare myself, but I don't care anymore I never had it You never had it We were young and the
sun didn't shine on us Where's the life you thought you'd live? Where's the life you thought you'd give? Sipping on sympathy
Feeding on tragedy This is our therapy, for open heart surgery I never had it You never had it We were young and the sun didn't
shine on us Where's the life you thought you'd live? Where's the life you thought you'd give? I'll never have it You'll never
have it We were young and the rains came down on us We're humming 'Reveille' just slightly out of key (our love is real to me) In
Sundays best singing free of things we'd like to be In leftover puddles we drown ourselves quietly This is our therapy This is
for you and me Our love is real to me

5. Calculation-Nation

You and me equals we (add it) I am one life minus one And it is my math to do So fuck you (And you don't understand 'WE' 'cause
you don't understand 'ME') I'm sorry, so sorry, for not making sense I have been shot in the left side of my chest The dust in
the air, that irritates my eyes, floats in the light that beams from the hole in my chest

6. The Last Supper After Party

Jesus and all his saints couldn't save our wretched face And no man parting some sea could keep you from me We had to walk away
from the streets that knew our names I stutter soft and say "I'd give you anything Anything and everything And you can tell the
town We're down til we're underground" We last the heartache sound when our order was found I burned a testament that misused
'heaven-sent' We made a comeback and it, it was recieved quite well The carth, for all it's worth, never seemed so far from hell
Preach on and on Spread the good word of the holy healing Breathe in, breathe out and on Likely lifers put to song and dance and
air has never seemed so clear I got a love/hate relationship with love and hate I get lost here and there, You could say I was
into the fact you even cared I'm a believer of there's nothing up above that could or should replace my Sunday's saving grace I
repeat the times that I said you don't exist My gospels from the church of Radio Activists

7. Crimescene

You're stabbing the backs of the ones that are holding you up And maybe it doesn't matter But it just seems so clear to me, that
they don't care that it hurts to breathe They don'ty know and they can't see that the songs you own make your heart beat The
breakdown, stitches, broken lives and no one knows what we're going through There is a difference between What you've earned and
what you deserve And as long as you are living well, our sweat can drip straight to hell Prove me wrong Prove you give a fuck,
about the sound- about the words Prove that we've crossed your mind on some term besides numbers There's no loyalty There's no
fucking ethics here It's not the message that keeps you here

8. Bluem

Lemme say that I know when I should be confessing I'm counting everything- my change and blessings Chemists cursed me imbalanced
I ran through the streets until my legs gave in "Hey, even without light, I could see that we were failures" And I am coming
clean of dreams that don't exist Oh God it's in the air when it should be safe between our hands "And love, even without light, I
could see that we would fail" Lemme say what I mean Lemme sleep on your floor Lemme learn to love Cuz I can feel my face sinking
through bruised bones, barely hiding my mind Failure facsination- I got a count on all I'll never have And I am dying to not give
up on this (and I confess, fixation is my fix) And I've been running around trying to find my home Twenty years on the run trying
to find my own (and I confess, a house is not a home) My head is red- My bones black and blue Fever burns- choke on words at the
thought of you (and I confess, fixation is my fix) Sing a song for the disenchanted Hum a hymn for the misdirected A little love
for sons and daughters Shadow sitting life in forgotten corners (and then) I fell hard over myself again I confess my love for
everything I woke up and needed sleep again I confess my love for everything With the music bleeding in my veins Goddamn the
yesterdays With the love for all there is to love We're who you're dreaming of With the music bleeding in my veins Goddamn the
yesterdays With the love for all there is to love You're who we're dreaming of I confess

9. AEIOU

Sitting only cuz I couldn't stand to walk much further under black skies with watered eyes I was watching the tide rolling in
And I was thinking I should make fun here and start over again My legs barely hold all of my heart and soul My ears hardly hear
only our sound is clear My mouth merely moves the words just disappear My eyes see so clear the reason to care Maybe we weren't
supposed to wake up today Leaving me room only to celebrate that nothing's changed If I was there- If you were here the world
could end I wouldn't care So wake me up never, please, lock the door, and lose the keys My legs barely hold all of my heart and
soul My ears hardly hear only our sound is clear My mouth merely moves the words just disappear My eyes see so clear the reason
to care To set the record straight- I never could relate And just when it all went wrong- You sang a different song Never knew
someone who knew how the years had been and I never thought that I would ever end up like this So hidden, far and gone, I'm so crowded
alone And I hope you understand, you fixed my broken plan

10. Crush Of The Year

The future could be ours or, it could just be yours We could just be walking closer to closed doors It was spoken, then broken-
we're hoping arms are open A wedding rings surrendering, and dying pretty is living well Just press stop Take it out, turn it
off- return it I've got reasons for everything- everything except this We could be the B-side to their hit song without no soul
We could sound like things were fine, and find out they weren't at all We could go back to where we once lived life but felt so
small Back where we started which was nowhere at all Just press stop Take it out, turn it off- return it I've got reasons for
everything- everything except this This is a remix of the same tears you shed before This is a remix of the same fears you shared
before I thought that they made it clear- (and they did) Our sound is not welcomed here (You should know) This is the crush of
the year In our night-vision dreams, know what I mean? You see yourself where you should be

11. No Lotions Gonna Unclog These Pores

You can't fuck your way to forgiveness When the price is merely life Forget heaven and hell, let's have a celebration We're
falling apart, here's the disintegration I'm plugging my ears to the sound of our generation I'm rolling my eyes at the 'national
situation' My travel plans! I'm staying in- I'm not a tourist to armageddon My travel plans! I'm staying in

12. We Killed It

Stars lead the way home when the sidewalks ending And I don't recall why we are still pretending I turned myself in for crimes I
didn't committ I needed to feel truly innocent There was a song, and I forgot the name of it It seemed sincere and this is kinda
how it went "It's one of those night when you're not sure of who the real 'you' is anymore" Generations can do whatever they want
to It's midafternoon and I'll be leaving soon Saviors are few and far, between two parked cars headed for anywhere- because
anwhere is better than here And in the ride, I have become aware, I'm probably not going anywhere It's one of those nights when
you're not sure who the real 'you' is anymore I said that, "I would end myself, but I think too much about my family, you see?" I
need to see if I can breathe in a different world This is my swan-song to my criminal boys and girls And no one really loves as
sure as the sun does fall And a fact without no truth just isn't a fact at all I want out of here I need to find the stars but city
sky'd hidingthemas if we are ashamed of what we've ruined the words I wrote Stuttered the times I spoke I've never been to close
with love, life, trust, and faithI need out of here I need my head clear I know my voice isn't great, but at least it's sincere
We are so conditioned to fall It's sad the story of the year is still nothing at all
