Below The Floorboards

I’m drifting out of time
What’s yours isn’t mine
I know you’ll be fine
Stored below the floorboards
Sealed in wet cardboard
What’s mine isn’t yours
Well I used to be so strange
Not much has changed
Passing glance of the life we had, oh
Life looks so much better in the photographs
It’s so strange I forgot your name
But your picture it still haunts me in my bed at night
Friends who were just pretend
Fairy God Girlfriends
Useless in the end
They just want to get laid
They should stay away
Don’t need them anyway
When they graduate their mask slips away
You’ll hear them say:
Passing glance of the life we had, oh
Life looks so much better in the photographs
It’s so strange I forgot your name
But your picture it still haunts me in my bed at night

Sour Patch Kid

I don’t wanna see anyone today
Lock the door when they say “come out and play”
I just wanna
Drink alcohol and
Watch horror movies
Blast Pinkerton and
Wallow in my own pain
I’m the Sour Patch Kid
Whoa
I’m the Sour Patch Kid
Whoa
I don’t wanna be anyone today
Who the fuck is Samuel anyway?
I just wanna
Throw something then I’ll
Break something and I’ll
Feel stupid ‘cause I
Shattered the window pane
I’m the Sour Patch Kid
Whoa
I’m the Sour Patch Kid
Whoa
People, people go away
Don’t come again another day
‘Cause I don’t wanna see your stupid face
Yeah!
I’m the Sour Patch Kid
Whoa
I’m the Sour Patch Kid
Whoa
I’m the Sour Patch Kid
Whoa
I’m the Sour Patch Kid
Whoa
I’m the Sour Patch Kid

Vampire Kiss
03:10
|

|
You won’t believe the things she said
Sharp fangs bared and dripping with red, oh
Trying to pierce my skin
Drain me out from within
Get out of my head, get out of my bed
Put away the knife, get out of my life
Take your business somewhere else
If I give in
Would a vampire kiss mean there’s no turning back?
Say goodnight, say goodbye
Stay away from me
She’ll hide in the day and arrive at night
Crushing your heart after robbing your sight, oh
I thought that I’d be safe
But now there’s no escape
Get out of my bed, get out of my head
Put away the knife, get out of my life
Buffy can’t come tonight
If I give in
Would a vampire kiss mean there’s no turning back?
Say goodnight, say goodbye
Stay away from me
Deep inside
Do you feel it stir?
Do you feel it stir?
If I give in
Would a vampire kiss mean there’s no turning back?
Say goodnight, say goodbye
Stay away from me

Bed Bugs (Sadist Side)
03:56
|
|||
|
I want a new haircut
‘Cause I just broke up
With the girl from my nightmare
I feel so grown up
Un-carve her initials
From the oak tree
Could this be the last time?
Just wait and see
I wish I could stand out
Not like a sore thumb
Be good at division
To not look so dumb
Remaster the feeling
Of feeling okay
And staying that way
Tonight
I’ll be wrapped up tight, let the bed bugs bite
‘Cause I’ll
Take the pain for you, do what I shouldn’t do
Soothe the sadist side of you
If we could spend an evening
Revealing old scars
Could we find that feeling
That never was ours?
We’re fucked up and losing
The way that we’ve been
I’ll say it again
Tonight
I’ll be wrapped up tight, let the bed bugs bite
‘Cause I’ll
Take the pain for you, do what I shouldn’t do
Soothe the sadist side of you
Tonight
I’ll be wrapped up tight, let the bed bugs bite
‘Cause I’ll
Take the pain for you, do what I shouldn’t do
Soothe the sadist side of you

They're Out To Get Me!!
03:37
|
|||
|
Someday
You may find me with a knife stuck in my back
And lately
I get the feeling that I’ve been under attack
One day they’ll finally get me
You gotta listen to me
I know who
If someday you find me dead
With a bullet in my head
Don’t believe the note beside of me
You know the killer wasn’t me
But if I get them first
Spill their blood and quench my thirst
I’ll be gone and out of town and you
Will never see my face around again
They say
Karma hits you when you’re least expecting it
But can you
Expedite it just to get it over with?
I know they’re out to get me
So come on out and hit me
I’ll be here
If someday you find me dead
With a bullet in my head
Don’t believe the note beside of me
You know the killer wasn’t me
But if I get them first
Spill their blood and quench my thirst
I’ll be gone and out of town and you
Will never see my face around, oh
Na na na na na na na na na na na…
If someday you find me dead
With a bullet in my head
Don’t believe the note beside of me
You know the killer wasn’t me
But if I get them first
Spill their blood and quench my thirst
I’ll be gone and out of town and you
Will never see my face around again

Harlequin
03:10

I saw her once when I just turned seventeen
I was too young, I would have waited twenty years to be
Safe in her arms, just living out our days in harmony
But so it goes, your dreams never come true for free
I’m a
Harlequin
Silent and saccharine
Harlequin
I let it go before it could begin
Just standing there waiting for the ice to break
Ice pick in hand, just take a swing for goodness sake
Three feet apart, maybe she feels exactly like I do
I’ll never know, ‘cause I never had the guts to move
I’m a
Harlequin
Silent and saccharine
Harlequin
I let it go before it could begin
Harlequin
Silent and saccharine
Harlequin
I let it go before…
Harlequin
Silent and saccharine
Harlequin
I let it go before it could begin

Alone With You
03:24
|
|||
|
Boys and girls all around the world
Won’t you listen to my verse
‘Bout a girl who lied and a stupid guy
Who forgot about his curse
“Let’s be friends”, let the message send
Drop your phone and run away
Now we’re stuck, I’m shit out of luck
Makes you want to change your ways
(Alone with you) I’d rather spend a night in hell
(Alone with you) It makes me want to hurt myself
(Alone with you) Let me erase the Y-O-U, alone
Brand new love comes to push and shove
When it’s born from shallow minds
Broken hearts have become an art
But they’re easier to find
I don’t know what I have to show
For the life I thought I lived
Punks like you do the things you do
And I give what I can give
(Alone with you) I’d rather spend a night in hell
(Alone with you) It makes me want to hurt myself
(Alone with you) Let me erase the Y-O-U, alone
Sometimes it makes me want to cry
But I still have to be the tough masculine guy
And I can never be alone
1, 2, 3, 4
(Alone with you) Well I’d rather spend a night in hell
(Alone with you) It just makes me want to hurt myself
(Alone with you) Let me erase the Y-O-U, alone with you
(Alone with you) Oh, don’t want to be alone with you
(Alone with you) It makes me want to hurt myself
(Alone with you) Let me erase the Y-O-U

Scary Stories
04:13
|
|||
|
When I’m alone in bed
I remember what you said
The monsters in my brain
Say they’ll take away the pain
Tell me scary stories
Something grim and gory
Drive the parasites away
In my brain
Don’t put your innocence on me
I never said I’d be tragedy, just leave me be
Just leave a note beside the door
The scary stories can’t compare to your reality
You follow me back home
You thought I’d never know
But maybe you mean well
Though I could never tell
Tell me scary stories
Make one up just for me
I can live vicariously
When you leave
Don’t put your innocence on me (stay away from me)
I never said I’d be tragedy, just leave me be
Just leave a note beside the door
The scary stories can’t compare to your reality
Don’t put your innocence on me (stay away from me)
I never said I’d be tragedy, just leave me be
Just leave a note beside the door
The scary stories can’t compare to your reality

Be Kind Rewind
04:21
|
|||
|
We used to sit around the tiny CRT TV
The static on the screen tickled my teeth
At Hollywood Video, what you would find you never know
Right after school, can’t wait to go
We forget the things that made us
So be kind, rewind me
Hey Jake, turn on the VCR
I know someday we could go far
But I like it where we are
So Jake, turn on the VCR
I would record my favorite shows and watch them endlessly
Tune in Saturday 7pm
But tape is easier to fade, just like the time corrodes away
We gotta go, I wanna stay
I was stupid, I’ll get better
So be kind, rewind me
Hey Jake, turn on the VCR
I know someday we could go far
But I like it where we are
So Jake, turn on the VCR
DBZ starts at 9pm
I might just be asleep by then
Now awake 24/7
Might just make it through Adult Swim
Let’s pretend we’re married so we don’t have to grow up
We can tell our parents that we found our one true love
Do you love me?
Hey Jake, turn on the VC
Hey Jake, turn on the VC
Hey Jake, turn on the VCR

Walk On
04:40
|
|||
|
The life I wanted may never come true
The things we fought for might be useless
What’s the use complaining?
There’s better things to do
You say “god, kill me now”
Is that really what you want?
Life is a battle
But it’s all we got
Walk on
Go where you need to go
Learn what you need to know from what you taught yourself
Walk on
Bury your sorrow in the ground
Don’t turn the car around
Let your history glow
I thought I had it, then it slipped away
The things we long for, gone like yesterday
We don’t want your pity ‘cause we’ll find a way
Your fake smile’s pretty
But you’re not convincing me
We can cry if we want to
‘Cause it’s our party, ah
Walk on
Go where you need to go
Learn what you need to know from what you taught yourself
Walk on
Bury your sorrow in the ground
Don’t turn the car around
Let your history glow
Walk on
Go where you need to go
Learn what you need to know from what you taught yourself
Walk on
Bury your sorrow in the ground
Don’t turn the car around
Let your history glow
