Minds Like Minefields lyrics - Alkaline Trio
Once upon a time
When we both lost our minds
And our memories
Destroyed our common sense
And the letters sent
Suicidal tendencies
Deployed like a parachute
You had a hole in you
As we went tumbling through the sky
The only thing I'd change
Is the fear and rage
And the hell I put you through
So sorry
And I can't get up
The nerve to look you in
The eyes as I'm leaving
And I can't go on
This same old song and dance
Is murder on your feelings
I'm at a loss for words
As the tables turned
You placed me upon the wheel
In your torture chamber
My remains were
Left next to my last meal
Gone without a trace
You went off to taste
The fruit of the afterlife
As I sit and stir
Nightmares recur
Haven't slept a wink
In forty days or nights
And I can't get up
The nerve to look you in
The eyes as I'm leaving
And I can't go on
This same old song and dance
Is murder on your feelings
Now and again
Forgotten friends
Crossing my mind like a minefield
Stopping to stare
Asking, "Do I dare,
Defuse this or disarm my—
Disarm myself?"
And I can't get up
The nerve to look you in
The eyes as I'm leaving
And I can't go on
This same old song and dance
Is murder on your feelings
Now and again
Forgotten friends
Crossing my mind like a minefield
Stopping to stare
Asking, "Do I dare,
Defuse this or disarm my—
Disarm myself?"
Radio Violence lyrics - Alkaline Trio
I set down the dream with the rain boots
And decided to ride out the storm
Now I can't recall how to welcome the light
And I can't see not window or door
It's these four walls of mine
How they change colors
How they'd sing to me sometimes
So dark the verse, so comfortable the tune
Seduced to nothing
Just a servitude in size
All-seeing bloodshot eyes
Bruise colored our lives
Dreams that never stood a chance
We've been subtracting in the dark
Now in the dark is where we dance
To radio violence
Communicated, filters through
A lost transmission on repeat
No one else is listening to
If I went dark tonight,
Would I change colors?
Go from tip to tails in white
To southern stumbles soaked in rage by midnight
We saw it coming
A misfortune-teller knew
Made sure it all came true
Bruise colored our lives
Dreams that never stood a chance
We've been subtracting in the dark
Now in the dark is where we dance
To radio violence
Communicated, filters through
A lost transmission on repeat
No one else is listening to
But you
Bruise colored our lives
Dreams all soaked and innocent
We're left alone here in the dark
As in the dark was where we met
Through radio violence
Communicated, filters through
A lost transmission on repeat
No one else is listening to
Smokestack lyrics - Alkaline Trio
Filled myself with soot from top to bottom
I'm a smokestack
Turnin' blood into booze
Now my liver's on fumes
Little alcoholic
I'm always beating myself up
Why did I have to play so rough?
I tried to get the hell out
And I'm standin' in my own way
No, we can't skip school anymore
Do you miss those days at all?
I miss starting up fires
Throwing bottles at trains
Pissing on convenience store walls
Well it was time for me to go home
Let's go and make some flyers for our third floor show
Mom and dad can wait
This is the path that we chose
Do you really believe that didn't mean anything?
Now do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I'm still believin', that means everything
Do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I sure don't
You made my life
You changed my life
You changed my life
Well, I was scared as hell as I was standing
At that open bar
I saw a life go past that I guess I coulda had
But I didn't try very hard
You see, I knew you two would last
Why did you have to jump so fast?
Now put the baby to bed
'Cause it's time for me to go home
Do you really believe that didn't mean anything?
Now do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I'm still believin', that means everything
Do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I sure don't
You made my life
You changed my life
You changed my life
You changed my life
Is This Thing Cursed? lyrics - Alkaline Trio
Is this thing cursed?
This goddamn thing's the worst
Now one look in that direction
And everything starts to hurt
Is this thing cursed?
It's been around for years
And everytime my boat's about tits up
That goddamn thing is near
I tried to throw it in the river
But it washed up in my sink
And now the city cut my water
And it's all I have to drink
Is this thing cursed?
If it is then I'm the jerk
Who keeps on hanging around
When I simply should just burn it to the ground
Maybe it's some kind of spell
That I've been living under
Collecting coins found near a nightmare wishing well
Coldest regards signed my name and sealed the card
Tried to leave it all behind me and almost blew up in my car
Is this thing cursed?
Is this thing cursed?
Is this thing cursed?
My haunted head aches so much worse
Than those that can't remember
How dismemberment works
Is this thing cursed?
It's been around for years
And everytime my life's about tits up
That goddamn thing is near
I tried to throw it in the river
But it washed up in my sink
And now the city cut my water
And it's all I have to drink
Is this thing cursed?
Blackbird lyrics - Alkaline Trio
She's black and red and built just like a spy plane
Extracting information from my mind
The photographs she takes save to a mainframe
For your eyes only lonely cold war time (of mine)
Now after all the city falls just like the night or an angel does
Leave me here alone to collect my things
She sees music in the terror she brings
And like a Technicolor dream
The light in your eyes blinded me
From your perch you softly smiled
My Blackbird softly smiled
She's built for speed and made for keeping secrets
Stark and dark against enemy skies
From miles above the earth no one can detect her
My Blackbird blows a kiss that ends mankind (goodbye)
And all this time there is no crime of treason that she hasn't seen
Leave me here alone to collect my things
She sees music in the terror she brings
And like a Technicolor dream
The light in your eyes blinded me
From your perch you softly smiled
My Blackbird softly smiled
SR 71
Blackbird from the hell above
She's the only one
Only spy I ever loved
She's the only spy I ever loved
Now after all the city falls just like the night or an angel does
Leave me here alone to collect my things
She sees music in the terror she brings
And like a Technicolor dream
The light in your eyes blinded me
From your perch you softly smiled
My Blackbird softly smiled
SR 71
Blackbird from the hell above
She's the only one
Only spy I ever loved
Demon And Division lyrics - Alkaline Trio
I got some poison on the brain
And I'm not scared I'm not ashamed
No more of anything, anything, anything but the rain
It melts my smile straight down the drain
I found black magic and white shame
And I lost everything, everything, everything but the pain
I set my alarm for an early start that I slept through
I've torn apart all chances of stealing your heart
That sunless morning
I got my start on the mean streets
Where Demon and Division meet
Been dodging bullets and dirty looks all fucking morning
Now I have violence on the brain
You're not in love you're just insane
Afraid of everything, everything, everything and the shame
It wipes that smile right off your face
Lost in confusion and disgrace
I once had everything, everything, everything but you
I set my alarm for an early start that I slept through
I've torn apart all chances of stealing your heart
That sunless morning
I got my start on the mean streets
Where Demon and Division meet
Been dodging bullets and dirty looks all fucking morning
Jaw dropped, here in shock on the icy streets (You're killing)
All the alcohol in hell and I just watched it freeze (You're killing)
Now I'll skate on through
Si tu veux
Have it, I'm finished
I'm getting out, set the clock for an early start
Dodged a bullet, saw my shadow get blown apart
I won't apologize
You are killing me
I set my alarm for an early start that I slept through
I've torn apart all chances of stealing your heart
That sunless morning
I got my start on the mean streets
Where Demon and Division meet
Been dodging bullets and dirty looks all fucking morning
I got some poison on the brain
Little Help? lyrics - Alkaline Trio
Does anybody know where I can go get high?
Does anybody know where I can go get high?
See I've been working like a dog all night
So I can't sleep, but I'm feeling alright
And I've got nothing to do, so I'd rather go get high
Can anybody here buy this old fool a drink?
Can anybody here buy this old fool a drink?
See my old lady poured it all down the sink
But then she left me and took everything
Now I've got nowhere to go and I sure could use a drink
It sure beats waiting on the next train
Back to that old scene, I leave it behind
It sure beats waiting on the next little girl
Who grabs my heart just to squeeze the blood
Right out
Can anybody here give this old fool a lift?
Can anybody here give this old fool a lift?
I left my old Chevy down at the shop
I couldn't pay for it and they stripped it for parts
Now I just look at my shoes, oh I sure could use a lift
Does anybody here got a place where I could sleep?
Does anybody here got a place where I could sleep?
I rented me a place and it burned to the ground
I lit a cigarette then I passed the fuck out
Oh lord, what did I do, now I need a place to sleep
But it sure beats sleeping on the next train
Back to that old scene, I leave it behind
And it sure beats waiting on the next little girl
Who grabs my heart just to squeeze the blood
Right out
Does anybody know?
Does anybody know where I can
Does anybody know where I can go get high?
Does anybody know?
Does anybody know where I can
Does anybody know where I can go get high?
I Can't Believe lyrics - Alkaline Trio
I can't believe anything that you're saying to me
I just can't see how you ever dreamed this was for the best
I can't believe in these things that you pretend to see
I just don't see how the fuck you could ever think that I'd agree
Leave me on the outskirts of this
Seven headed whore of a one horse town
Nothing to see here, move along
Nobody to hear your black swan song
Someone please do something, something's wrong
He's no longer breathing, but singing along
(Along, Along, Along)
I can't believe anything that you're saying to me
I just can't see how you ever dreamed this was for the best
I can't believe in these things that you pretend to see
I just don't see how the fuck you could ever think that I'd agree
Leave me on the outskirts of this
Seven headed whore of a one horse town
Nothing to see here, move along
Nobody to hear your black swan song
Someone please do something, something's wrong
He's no longer breathing, but singing along
Nothing to see here, move along
Nobody to hear your black swan song
Someone please do something, something's wrong
He's no longer breathing, but singing along
Someone to hold onto
Some place like Space I've never been
Nothing left to get through
A name and a face I'll never see again
Someone to hold onto
Someone to hold onto…
Nothing to see here, move along
Nobody to hear your black swan song
Someone please do something, something's wrong
He's no longer breathing, but singing along
Nothing to see here, move along
Nobody to hear your black swan song
Someone please do something, something's wrong
He's no longer breathing, but singing along
Nothing to see here, move along
Nobody to hear your black swan song
Someone please do something, something's wrong
He's no longer breathing, but singing along
Sweet Vampires lyrics - Alkaline Trio
You were the downright all time love of my life
You showed up, and showed me so wrong, you were right
Alone in this ocean, floating in the moonlight
At home with the notion it's me, myself, and I
I was the live fast, car crash, Mulholland Drive
Open the flood gates, this love-hate is making me cry
But tears fill the tub with the blood from your wrist that night
If we should live forever
Like sweet vampires
When we can reign together
Our own empire
Now we should try to sever
All our past ties
But it's me and you
And the skies are blue
Both bleeding from our eyes
I was a love-sick, dumb dick, top off the stock
Came to shove, when you push and locked his keys in his car
I feel like an animal that's been kicked around too long
An eel whose electric circuitry has been wired all wrong
If we should live forever
Like sweet vampires
When we can reign together
Our own empire
Now we should try to sever
All our past ties
But it's me and you
And the skies are blue
Both bleeding from our eyes
Now where the hell have you
Gone off and flown away to
Some shit hole you call home (some asshole)
Told me I won't survive
Somehow, I'm scraping by
We're reduced to ruin
Rubble, rags and bones
If we should live forever
Like sweet vampires
When we can reign together
Our own empire
Now we should try to sever
All our past ties
But it's me and you
And the skies are blue
Both bleeding from our eyes
Both bleeding from our eyes
Both bleeding from our eyes
Both bleeding from our eyes
Both bleeding from our eyes
Pale Blue Ribbon lyrics - Alkaline Trio
There's no prize for winning this race
No prize for winning this race
So what's the hurry in the first place?
No prize for winning this race
No prize for winning this race
So why you running off to first base?
It's supposed to hurt sometimes
And we lick these wounds together
Stand up, we're fine
It's okay to need sometimes
And I'll be your hand, your band-aid
Your middle finger
'Cause I want your real life moments
I wanna taste your pain
And I wanna see your war face on that day
You get no prize for winning this race
No prize for winning this race
So why you hurry in the first place?
We're supposed to bleed sometimes
And we make these scars together
They fade, tears dry
Bones will break and realign
There is your crutch you've leaned on
Now stretch out and move on
'Cause I want your real life moments
I wanna taste your pain
And I wanna see your war face on that day
At this rate, you'll get there before I do
And I'll be there before long
Slow down and let's walk it out together
Loser's strong
Goodbye Fire Island lyrics - Alkaline Trio
Burning on an autumn night
A piece of me has been set alight
Moving like a locomotive
To tear you up and take your life away
Coming down like Christmas lights
Strung up on these walls for countless nights
Douse my house in gasoline
Strike a match and walk
Away, yeah
Feeding on the fading models
Hey, yeah
White meat festival, yeah
Hey, yeah
Ocean filled with plastic bottles
Hey, yeah
And tidal waves will wash us all away
Wash us all away
I'm turning in this burning wreck
Shattered windshield, broken back
Crawling on your arms to safety
Before the flames take your life away
Stab me with stiletto heels
Feed me pills and happy meals
Leave me here to bleed out slowly
Smile, spit, and swiftly walk
Away, yeah
Feeding on the fading models
Hey, yeah
White meat festival, yeah
Hey, yeah
Ocean filled with plastic bottles
Hey, yeah
And tidal waves will wash us all away
They left us here to wander
They left us here to stay
Our dreams were torn asunder
And quickly washed away
Stranded in the ocean
Lost our only boat
Abandoned here and broken
Cost us everything we own
Hey, yeah
Feeding on the fading models
Hey, yeah
White meat festival, yeah
Hey, yeah
Ocean filled with plastic bottles
Hey, yeah
And tidal waves will wash us all away
Wash us all away
Wash us all away
Wash us all away
Wash us all away
Stay lyrics - Alkaline Trio
Things have been getting pretty rough around here
No coffee cups flying 'round the room
Just daggers born from tears
Let's try to crawl out from under our breath
We can never break up, so I'll love you to death
The man I'd become was so comfortably dumb
I believe you could mean it, but you're not having fun
And I'm sorry
I learned to breathe I guess some time ago
But just recently I learned what it means to take it slow
I'm lousy with excuses and you know I love to swear
So goddammit, I swear to whatever's out there
That I love you more now than I ever have, so
Let's pick another day to call it quits and walk away
Let's find some other time to break down
The storm has gone and blown on through
Shake off the darkness and I will too
You might leave me still, but not today
For now, can we just stay?
Can we just stay?
You would think by now that I'd be fine
Ya' know, like really stretching out
But it would all be lies
I'm no longer in control of my own shoes
There they go
Quickly running out of booze
Drinking to kill myself to live without you
Over there, where I still stare
Sometimes
Let's pick another day to call it quits and walk away
Let's find some other time to break down
The storm has gone and blown on through
Shake off the darkness and I will too
You might leave me still, but not today
For now, can we just stay?
Can we just stay?
For now, can we just stay?
Can we just stay?
For now, can we just stay?
Heart Attacks lyrics - Alkaline Trio
It's time I should be leaving, it's time for me to go
A painting on my ceiling and your footprints in the snow
They found you Christmas morning beneath the tree in the front yard
The sound, the screams, the mourning as we send sympathy cards
Hydrocodone acid-washed brain
A shame, a total loss
They said that they did all they could
That boy's been dead since childhood
Leave me alone to analyze
The sour power of surprise
A ticker out of time and whack
Too young to die of heart attacks
I guess I should be going, there's nothing I can say
To keep your dad from throwing up at least 3 times a day
They found you Christmas morning beneath the tree in the back yard
The pounding of your mother's fist while freezing in the car
Oxycodone acid-washed brain
A shame, a total loss
They said that they did all they could
That boy's been dead since childhood
Leave me alone to analyze
The sour power of surprise
A ticker out of time and whack
Too young to die of heart attacks
I'd kill for a drink (Fetch me a drink)
Casket to carry
Try not to think (Try not to think)
About you dead and buried
Hydrocodone acid-washed brain
A shame, a total loss
They said that they did all they could
That boy's been dead since childhood
Leave me alone to analyze
The sour power of surprise
A ticker out of time and whack
Too young to die of heart attacks
Worn So Thin lyrics - Alkaline Trio
I'll start out fresh
A brand new beginning
It goes like this so I
Never finish anything
And all of this was totally worthless
If I get through a week or two, or let's just say a year or so
'Cause that's the way these days seem to go and go
And I just feel so helpless
Don't tell me to just calm down
Now there's a shortcut right under my skin
And all I want is to freak out
But my apologies are worn so thin
(Hey!)
I'm sorry friend
With all these fucking problems, I should pay you rent
Doors are open in the cell block of my filthy head
And these days I smoke less
Don't tell me to just calm down
Now there's a shortcut right under my skin
And all I want is to freak out
But my apologies are worn so thin
Yeah, that's a quality I've worn so thin
When we empty out like paper cups
Yeah, parking lot, it's hard
To feel like anything but garbage, wasted
Now we empty out (empty out)
And we empty out (empty out)
Until there's nothing left (nothing left)
'Til there's nothing left (nothing left)
Don't tell me to just calm down
Now there's a shortcut right under my skin
And all I want is to freak out
But my apologies are worn so thin
Don't tell me to just calm down
Now there's a shortcut right under my skin
And all I want is to freak out
But my apologies are worn so thin
Yeah, that's a quality I've worn so thin
Throw Me To The Lions lyrics - Alkaline Trio
I'm having trouble keeping focus, craving double-feature love
From the gods of hocus pocus to the goddesses above
I'm gonna have to slack that fever dream I've just awoken from
Live with these uneasy feelings of the nightmare you've become
So go, throw me to the lions
Listen for the screams
Show me how the scientist inside of you thinks
Anything but silence
Feel like I can't breathe
Bring me ultraviolence and a reason to bleed
You're having trouble keeping focus, craving me and all my blood
It's raining cats and dogs of locusts from that sicko up above
Burning up just like that fever dream you'll never wake up from
The devil's in the doorway, and unholy ghost above
So go, throw me to the lions
Listen for the screams
Show me how the scientist inside of you thinks
Anything but silence
Feel like I can't breathe
Bring me ultraviolence and a reason to bleed
Give me one good reason to bleed
Give me violence
Give me one good reason to bleed
Give me one good reason to bleed
Throw me to the lions
Listen for the screams
Show me how the scientist inside of you thinks
Anything but silence
Feel like I can't breathe
Bring me ultraviolence and a reason to bleed
Give me one good reason to bleed
Give me violence
Give me one good reason to bleed
Give me one good reason to bleed
Violence
Krystalline lyrics - Alkaline Trio
Never said what I was thinking the night you turned up at my door
I could tell that you'd been drinking, as we went crashing to the floor
You came from Santa Monica with teardrops in your eyes
We passed out in the shadows of a lonely Thursday night
We kissed away our memories and fucked away the pain
We went out for some coffee then we did it all again
My Krystalline
Ohhh, I want you Krystalline
Ohhh, I want you Krystalline
Couldn't tell what you were thinking the night I turned up at the bar
I told you I quit drinking and you laughed 'til you saw stars
I came to Santa Monica with flowers in my hand
I grabbed you by the lips with mine and slowly pulled you in
We kissed away our memories and fucked away the pain
You called in sick to work and then we did it all again
My Krystalline
Ohhh, I want you Krystalline
Ohhh, I want you Krystalline
Ohhh, I want you Krystalline
Ohhh, I want you Krystalline
Christmas Eve In The Gutter lyrics - Alkaline Trio
Christmas Eve in the gutter
My heart was a flutter
Saw the face of my mother
Back in Vietnam
I was broken and wasted
The fresh air I tasted
Blew in and erased
All the bullets and bombs
I woke up so thirsty
Blinded by fury
I ran in no hurry
To empty my guts
And I fell to my knees
I begged and I pleaded
This blood for no reason
This treason, these cuts
And I leapt to my bath love
For no one up above
Could hear the crushing of
My bones and my soul
I went to sleep worried
These dreams would come hurried
When judges and jury
Send me to the hole
Christmas Eve in the gutter
My heart was a flutter
Saw the face of my mother
Back in Vietnam
Therapy lyrics - Alkaline Trio (feat. James Newman)
I can't dance, 'cause my feet won't let me
And I can't love, 'cause my heart won't let go
I can't tell no one the way I really feel
'Cause I don't feel nothing no more
And I came here
To remember what it's like
To hold someone
And then I saw you dancing on your own and
You look like therapy
Exactly what I need
You're where the darkness meets the light, yeah
The perfect remedy
To heal what's hurting me
Come be the therapy for me
And me for you, tonight
I can tell by the way that you move
There's a cure for me somewhere in you
Your touch, your kiss, and your body next to mine
I just want a bit of your time
And I came here
To remember what it's like
To hold someone
Now I'm close enough to you to know that
You look like therapy
Exactly what I need
You're where the darkness meets the light, yeah
The perfect remedy
To heal what's hurting me
Come be the therapy for me
And me for you, tonight
And I came here
'Cause I'm trying to numb my pain
And oh, my dear
I think you might be trying to do the same, yeah
You look like therapy
Exactly what I need
You're where the darkness meets the light, yeah
The perfect remedy
To heal what's hurting me
Come be the therapy for me
And me for you, tonight
Come be the therapy for me
And me for you, yeah
C'mon, now-now
Therapy, therapy, therapy, yeah
You look like therapy
Exactly what I need
You're where the darkness meets the light
Where the darkness meets the light, yeah
The perfect remedy, ooh
To heal what's hurting me
Heal what's hurting me
Come be the therapy for me
And me for you, tonight

She Lied To The FBI lyrics - Alkaline Trio
She lied, she lied to the FBI
When she told him she was innocent of victimless crime
Now I don't give a shit and I'd never drop dime
On my baby though she gave me to the FBI
I lied, I lied to the FBI
When I told them that I did it to save her hide
Told them that the plan for the heist was mine
Now I'm stuck and I'm fucked doing federal time
Locked deep inside I'm doing time for you (Woah)
Just got the letter saying we are through (Woah)
And I don't give a damn if I get out again
I'm doing time for you
She lied, she lied to the FBI

My mistake I will take this secret with me to the grave
And I hope and I pray I see her face again one day
My mistake I will take this secret with me to the grave
And I hope and I pray I see her face again one day
She lied, she lied to the FBI (Woah, Woah)
She lied, she lied to the FBI (Woah, Woah)
She lied, she lied to the FBI (Woah, Woah)
She lied, she lied to the FBI
She lied to the FBI
I Wanna Be A Warhol lyrics - Alkaline Trio
I wanna be a little piece of history, let's go
I wanna be a painting for all to see, let's go
Take a trip, take a big hand full of these and swallow
Just a headache, a fuzzy memory tomorrow
I wanna be a Warhol hanging on your wall
You down there looking up at me
I wanna be a Warhol displayed on your wall
Hung up there staring back at you
Staring back at you
Give me a taste of your misery, let's go
Won't you please come play chemistry and sorrow
I can't believe anything that you're telling me, let's go
The walls are closing in and melting nice and slow
I wanna be a Warhol hanging on your wall
You down there looking up at me
I wanna be a Warhol displayed on your wall
Hung up and staring back at you
Staring back at you
I wanna be a Warhol hanging on your wall
Staring down at you
I wanna be a Warhol displayed on your wall
Still hung up on you
Still hung up on you
Still hung up on you
I wanna be a painting for all to see, let's go
Take a trip, take a big hand full of these and swallow
Just a headache, a fuzzy memory tomorrow
I wanna be a Warhol hanging on your wall
You down there looking up at me
I wanna be a Warhol displayed on your wall
Hung up there staring back at you
Staring back at you
Give me a taste of your misery, let's go
Won't you please come play chemistry and sorrow
I can't believe anything that you're telling me, let's go
The walls are closing in and melting nice and slow
I wanna be a Warhol hanging on your wall
You down there looking up at me
I wanna be a Warhol displayed on your wall
Hung up and staring back at you
Staring back at you
I wanna be a Warhol hanging on your wall
Staring down at you
I wanna be a Warhol displayed on your wall
Still hung up on you
Still hung up on you
Still hung up on you
I'm Only Here To Disappoint lyrics - Alkaline Trio
I'm hurtin' for someone else
To feel this pain
Are you hurtin' too?
I'm desperate
So desperate
But i won't get my hopes up
I'll just get all my ropes taught
After all
I'm only here to disappoint
I am truly only here to disappoint
Like all good dreams and you wind up dead
All those promises I never kept
I laugh and you will cry again
And again and again and again
These simple things I just can't say
Remove the you from you and me
I stand to bring you to your knees
Again and again and again
I'm crying for someone
To show me
Real tears
I've tasted them I've wasted them
So many empty years...
Now I'm dying
Just to give you
A body I can give to
Something I can be a part of forever
I am truly only here to disappoint
Like all good dreams and you wind up dead
All those promises I never kept
I laugh and you will cry again
And again and again and again
These simple things I just can't say
Remove the you from you and me
I stand to bring you to your knees
Again and again and again
Distorted is my silhouette
Tainted starved and desperate
There's no easy fix for this
That I cannot control
I'm breaking apart at the soul
Like all good dreams and you wind up dead
All those promises I never kept
I laugh and you will cry again
And again and again and again
These simple things I just can't say
Remove the you from you and me
I stand to bring you to your knees
Again and again and again
To feel this pain
Are you hurtin' too?
I'm desperate
So desperate
But i won't get my hopes up
I'll just get all my ropes taught
After all
I'm only here to disappoint
I am truly only here to disappoint
Like all good dreams and you wind up dead
All those promises I never kept
I laugh and you will cry again
And again and again and again
These simple things I just can't say
Remove the you from you and me
I stand to bring you to your knees
Again and again and again
I'm crying for someone
To show me
Real tears
I've tasted them I've wasted them
So many empty years...
Now I'm dying
Just to give you
A body I can give to
Something I can be a part of forever
I am truly only here to disappoint
Like all good dreams and you wind up dead
All those promises I never kept
I laugh and you will cry again
And again and again and again
These simple things I just can't say
Remove the you from you and me
I stand to bring you to your knees
Again and again and again
Distorted is my silhouette
Tainted starved and desperate
There's no easy fix for this
That I cannot control
I'm breaking apart at the soul
Like all good dreams and you wind up dead
All those promises I never kept
I laugh and you will cry again
And again and again and again
These simple things I just can't say
Remove the you from you and me
I stand to bring you to your knees
Again and again and again
Kiss You To Death lyrics - Alkaline Trio
Taking a ride down to your place
I'll be dropping by tonight
You'll hear me coming from miles away
Screaming banshees haunting my motorbike
Taking a ride down to your place
Dropping by in just a little while
And I don't care if we fuck or we talk or we cry
I just miss you, I wanna kiss you to death tonight
Ooh oh oh oh kiss you to death tonight
Ooh oh oh oh kiss you to death tonight
Taking a ride down to your place
I haven't seen you in a while
I miss taking out the trash, I miss your face
I miss your cat, I miss your smile
I wanna kiss you to death tonight
Ooh oh oh oh kiss you to death tonight
Ooh oh oh oh kiss you to death tonight
Woah oh oh oh you're in my heart
You're in my skull. You're in my blood
You're in my bones
Ooh oh oh oh you're in my heart
You're in my skull. You're in my blood
You're in my bones ya
Kiss you to death tonight
Kiss you to death tonight
Kiss you to death tonight
Kiss you to death tonight
I'll be dropping by tonight
You'll hear me coming from miles away
Screaming banshees haunting my motorbike
Taking a ride down to your place
Dropping by in just a little while
And I don't care if we fuck or we talk or we cry
I just miss you, I wanna kiss you to death tonight
Ooh oh oh oh kiss you to death tonight
Ooh oh oh oh kiss you to death tonight
Taking a ride down to your place
I haven't seen you in a while
I miss taking out the trash, I miss your face
I miss your cat, I miss your smile
I wanna kiss you to death tonight
Ooh oh oh oh kiss you to death tonight

You're in my bones ya
Kiss you to death tonight
Kiss you to death tonight
Kiss you to death tonight
Kiss you to death tonight
The Temptation Of St. Anthony lyrics - Alkaline Trio
My tender carrion, the damage has been done
From the depths of your heart to the tip of my tongue
Not a word you can say can erase memories of that night
That awful night
It hides behind your eyes, I can feel it in my bones
It's come to tenderize us all tonight with sticks and stones
St. Anthony, this agony, it's eating at my soul
Much like nothing this world has ever known woah oh oh
I found a hiding place, not far from here
They'll never find a trace of you and I, my dear
In a world far away we'd pass out from the pain, but not here
We feel it loud and clear
It hides behind your eyes, I can feel it in my bones
It's come to tenderize us all tonight with sticks and stones
St. Anthony, this agony, it's eating at my soul
Much like nothing this world has ever known
Nothing this world has ever know woah oh oh
It's over now until it happens again
You haven't lived until you've seen suffering like this
It's over now until it happens again
You haven't lived until you've seen suffering like this (like this)
You haven't lived until you've seen suffering like….
It hides behind your eyes, I can feel it in my bones
It's come to tenderize us all tonight with sticks and stones
St. Anthony, this agony, it's eating at my soul
Much like nothing this world has ever known
Much like nothing this world has ever known
Nothing this world has ever know woah oh oh
From the depths of your heart to the tip of my tongue
Not a word you can say can erase memories of that night
That awful night
It hides behind your eyes, I can feel it in my bones
It's come to tenderize us all tonight with sticks and stones
St. Anthony, this agony, it's eating at my soul
Much like nothing this world has ever known woah oh oh
I found a hiding place, not far from here
They'll never find a trace of you and I, my dear
In a world far away we'd pass out from the pain, but not here
We feel it loud and clear
It hides behind your eyes, I can feel it in my bones
It's come to tenderize us all tonight with sticks and stones
St. Anthony, this agony, it's eating at my soul
Much like nothing this world has ever known
Nothing this world has ever know woah oh oh
It's over now until it happens again
You haven't lived until you've seen suffering like this

You haven't lived until you've seen suffering like this (like this)
You haven't lived until you've seen suffering like….
It hides behind your eyes, I can feel it in my bones
It's come to tenderize us all tonight with sticks and stones

Much like nothing this world has ever known
Much like nothing this world has ever known
Nothing this world has ever know woah oh oh
I, Pessimist lyrics - Alkaline Trio (feat. Tim Mcilrath)
I give thanks to the waning moon
Cause I'm working for a total blackout
The sun used to be one of my favorite drugs
Looks like that one's gonna kill us all
Disappear
Disappear
I don't need this body
It's so clear
Way too clear
I'm not here with my mind
I'm running on a great big tank again
But how long 'til I crash?
And then this bag's gonna burst again
Bring me down to my bad knee
Disappear
Disappear
I don't need this body
It's so clear
Way too clear
I'm not here with my mind
Disappear
Disappear
I don't need this body
It's so clear
Way too clear
I'm not here with my mind
They say my soul is still alive
In the eyes of god
Maybe living is not enough for me
They say my soul is still alive
In the eyes of god
Maybe living is not enough for me
Disappear
Disappear
I don't need this body
It's so clear
Way too clear
I'm not here with my mind
Disappear
Disappear
I don't need this body
It's so clear
Way too clear
I'm not here with my mind
Cause I'm working for a total blackout
The sun used to be one of my favorite drugs
Looks like that one's gonna kill us all
Disappear
Disappear
I don't need this body
It's so clear
Way too clear
I'm not here with my mind
I'm running on a great big tank again
But how long 'til I crash?
And then this bag's gonna burst again
Bring me down to my bad knee

Maybe living is not enough for me

It's so clear
Way too clear
I'm not here with my mind
Only Love lyrics - Alkaline Trio
How young are you gonna be when you die?
I guess I've never really thought about that
You're dying when you start thinking like that
All I know is time is undefeated so far
Get right with god before it's time
I hear the telephone works both ways
Think he could make a little effort someday
I got an awful lot going on with the things that I can see
And what I see are the reasons that I bleed
And the blood I give to her, and her
That's all there is
It's only love that keeps us here
This food and these drinks they're all poison
And life is death
So die well with some good distractions
At the end there is only love
Separate these lies like there's a truth
How do you know and who the hell told you?
You've all been lying since you murdered my youth
I know you're gonna take what's left
But you'll never see me run
No here I am
Can you see what's in these hands?
It's everything I need to see to breath to feel
It's only love that keeps us here
This food and these drinks they're all poison
And life is death
So die well with some good distractions
At the end there is only love
I lie awake on this earth
I lay with all that I love
And all I need on this earth
Not what's below or above
It's only love that keeps us here
This food and these drinks they're all poison
And life is death
So die well with some good distractions
At the end there is only love
At the end there is only love
I guess I've never really thought about that
You're dying when you start thinking like that
All I know is time is undefeated so far
Get right with god before it's time
I hear the telephone works both ways
Think he could make a little effort someday
I got an awful lot going on with the things that I can see
And what I see are the reasons that I bleed
And the blood I give to her, and her
That's all there is
It's only love that keeps us here
This food and these drinks they're all poison
And life is death
So die well with some good distractions
At the end there is only love
Separate these lies like there's a truth
How do you know and who the hell told you?
You've all been lying since you murdered my youth
I know you're gonna take what's left
But you'll never see me run
No here I am
Can you see what's in these hands?
It's everything I need to see to breath to feel
It's only love that keeps us here
This food and these drinks they're all poison
And life is death
So die well with some good distractions
At the end there is only love
I lie awake on this earth
I lay with all that I love
And all I need on this earth
Not what's below or above
It's only love that keeps us here
This food and these drinks they're all poison
And life is death
So die well with some good distractions
At the end there is only love
At the end there is only love
The Torture Doctor lyrics - Alkaline Trio
The torture doctor is in
Back here to confess his sins
Knowing damn well he was dead wrong
And I can't believe my eyes
Trouble and regret haunt my mind
I'll let you take the whole thing down
Brick by brick tonight
And there's a devil dancing in my head
As I'm hovering above your bed
Hey Ho - We know how this story goes
Hey Ho - The plot it thickens and grows
Hey Ho - There's nothing left to hide
Hey Ho - Down here on the South Side
I was the worst of my kind
I left my own life behind
Can't believe I got away with it so long
At the end of the day
There is nothing to say
So tired of being wired wrong, all my life
And there's a devil dancing in my head
As I'm hovering above your bed
Hey Ho - We know how this story goes
Hey Ho - The plot it thickens and grows
Hey Ho - There's nothing left to hide
Hey Ho - Down here on the South Side
Down on the South Side
Hey Ho - We know how this story goes
Hey Ho - The plot it thickens and grows
Hey Ho - There's nothing left to hide
Hey Ho - Down here on the south side
Down on the South side
Midnight Blue lyrics - Alkaline Trio
It came just like the rising sun
The shame of everything I've done
The pain
Blew in just like a storm
And now it rains
And will forever more
What's a boy to do?
I had nobody but you
My heart is sad but true
And midnight blue
And it died out there in the sun
A dead rose from the ceiling it hung
And you cried
You cried out your fucking eyes
Before you sang
Me happy birthday one last time
What's a girl to do?
I had nobody but you
Your heart is sad but true
And midnight blue
And midnight blue
And midnight blue
And midnight blue
I keep a photograph in a drawer
Since the day you left me at my door
And now there's nothing left of you and me
I'm a total wreck, I'm smoldering
What's a boy to do?
I had nobody but you
And our hearts are sad but true
And midnight blue
And midnight blue
And midnight blue
And midnight blue
And now our hearts are midnight blue
The shame of everything I've done
The pain
Blew in just like a storm
And now it rains
And will forever more
What's a boy to do?
I had nobody but you
My heart is sad but true
And midnight blue
And it died out there in the sun
A dead rose from the ceiling it hung
And you cried
You cried out your fucking eyes
Before you sang
Me happy birthday one last time
What's a girl to do?
I had nobody but you
Your heart is sad but true
And midnight blue
And midnight blue
And midnight blue
And midnight blue
I keep a photograph in a drawer
Since the day you left me at my door
And now there's nothing left of you and me
I'm a total wreck, I'm smoldering
What's a boy to do?
I had nobody but you
And our hearts are sad but true
And midnight blue
And midnight blue
And midnight blue
And midnight blue
And now our hearts are midnight blue
One Last Dance lyrics - Alkaline Trio
You rolled in like a storm and brought the rain,
Showered me with scorn and all your pain.
You told me you were torn in between dates
Now there's nothing I or Bobby Smith can say,
To chase this torrential torture away.
There just ain't words to say how sorry I am,
For acting like a school boy trapped in a man.
There's nothing I won't do for one last chance.
May I have this dance?
Just one last dance.
Blew back into town just like the wind,
Beyond repair, the damage that I did.
We both assumed we'd never speak again.
Till I saw you in those turquoise pumps and tight black vinyl pants.
I need you back my friend.
There just ain't words to say how sorry I am,
For acting like a school boy trapped in a man.
There's nothing I won't do for one last chance.
May I have this dance?
Just one last dance.
I've been dancing with the ghost of myself,
I've been dancing with a ghost it's true.
Take the heart in the jar off my shelf,
Pull it out and give it back to you.
Pull it out and give it back to you.
Pull it out and give it back to you.
There just ain't words to say how sorry I am,
For acting like a school boy trapped in a man.
There's nothing I won't do for one last chance.
May I have this dance?
Just one last dance.
Young Lovers lyrics - Alkaline Trio
So there you are with your broken heart
My dear you know there's six of those
Out there for every star
Like a cheap old toy in a child's hand
Where you can cry until it's fixed
But it will break again
Young lover let's waste no time
You're too concerned with heaven
And I see it in your eyes
Young lover right now you're mine
Don't think of your tomorrow
Let's live like we could die tonight
Don't freeze up now have you seen the news?
It would appear the world is ending
Could be very soon
And yes I would wait for you until the planets all collide
But I'm holding you so close right now
What's wrong with tonight?
Young lover let's waste no time
You're too concerned with heaven
I see it in your eyes
Young lover right now you're mine
Don't think of your tomorrow
Let's live like we could die tonight
How is it so dark?
Your past
How did we grow up so fast?
How is it so dark?
Your past
We're growing up so fast
Young lover
Young lover
Young lover let's waste no time
You're too concerned with heaven
It's right there in your eyes
Young lover right now you're mine
Don't think of your tomorrow
Let's kiss like we could die tonight
My dear you know there's six of those
Out there for every star
Like a cheap old toy in a child's hand
Where you can cry until it's fixed
But it will break again
Young lover let's waste no time
You're too concerned with heaven
And I see it in your eyes
Young lover right now you're mine
Don't think of your tomorrow
Let's live like we could die tonight
Don't freeze up now have you seen the news?
It would appear the world is ending
Could be very soon
And yes I would wait for you until the planets all collide
But I'm holding you so close right now
What's wrong with tonight?
Young lover let's waste no time
You're too concerned with heaven
I see it in your eyes
Young lover right now you're mine
Don't think of your tomorrow
Let's live like we could die tonight
How is it so dark?
Your past
How did we grow up so fast?
How is it so dark?
Your past
We're growing up so fast
Young lover
Young lover
Young lover let's waste no time
You're too concerned with heaven
It's right there in your eyes
Young lover right now you're mine
Don't think of your tomorrow
Let's kiss like we could die tonight
Until Death Do Us Part lyrics - Alkaline Trio
Goodbye for now, leaving town for a while
Broken heart, broken bones, fading smile
Did I lose everything that I love?
I suppose that I did when push came to shove
Now I want you back and waiting there for me
I won't hold my breath, I don't expect a thing
But a boy can dream
Tell me everything will be okay
Tell me that you're still in love with me
Tell me how to get back into your heart
And there I shall remain till death do us part
Goodbye for now, leaving town for a while
Broken heart, broken bones, fading smile
Now I want you back and waiting there for me
I won't hold my breath, I don't expect a thing
But a boy can dream
Tell me everything will be okay
Tell me that you're still in love with me
Tell me how to get back into your heart
And there I shall remain till death do us part
Tell me everything will be okay
Tell me that you're still in love with me
Please tell me how to get back into your heart
There I shall remain till death do us part
Broken heart, broken bones, fading smile
Did I lose everything that I love?
I suppose that I did when push came to shove
Now I want you back and waiting there for me
I won't hold my breath, I don't expect a thing
But a boy can dream
Tell me everything will be okay
Tell me that you're still in love with me
Tell me how to get back into your heart
And there I shall remain till death do us part
Goodbye for now, leaving town for a while
Broken heart, broken bones, fading smile
Now I want you back and waiting there for me
I won't hold my breath, I don't expect a thing
But a boy can dream
Tell me everything will be okay
Tell me that you're still in love with me
Tell me how to get back into your heart
And there I shall remain till death do us part
Tell me everything will be okay
Tell me that you're still in love with me
Please tell me how to get back into your heart
There I shall remain till death do us part
Fire Down Below lyrics - Alkaline Trio
It's been a lifetime since I last confessed to you
And I've had little trouble concealing the truth
I've been nothing but lies and deceitful
Here’s the church open the people there for me
Apologies have taken on a whole new meaning now
You’ve waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul
It's been a long time since I’ve last had words with you
Not sure what I see now to tell you the truth
About this feeling weighing heavily
On my mind and chest cavity
Don’t pray for me one day you’ll find
I’m sleeping in my urn feeling just fine
You’ve waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul
Fix me a drink
Tell me a story
Take my head off
These gut wrenching words
Made my mistakes
My guilt admissions
Please pass a plate
And the ammunition
You’ve waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul
You’ve waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul
You’ve waited your whole life for this
And I've had little trouble concealing the truth
I've been nothing but lies and deceitful
Here’s the church open the people there for me
Apologies have taken on a whole new meaning now
You’ve waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul
It's been a long time since I’ve last had words with you
Not sure what I see now to tell you the truth
About this feeling weighing heavily
On my mind and chest cavity
Don’t pray for me one day you’ll find
I’m sleeping in my urn feeling just fine
You’ve waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul
Fix me a drink
Tell me a story
Take my head off
These gut wrenching words
Made my mistakes
My guilt admissions
Please pass a plate
And the ammunition
You’ve waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul
You’ve waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul
You’ve waited your whole life for this
Buried lyrics - Alkaline Trio
I'm awake
It was a half bad dream
That was way too long
My whole life it seemed
Then someone started digging me up
Turned my headstone into dust
The sun was swallowed by the trees
The night was here for good
You pulled my hair, picked my head up
You put oxygen into my blood
You walked me through the gates like we were visitors for the day
You laid me down in the back seat
And you drove till I woke up to hear you say
You never lie but it's no fun to tell the truth
I guess I never loved but I will see what I can do
Got so much life to waste that I would take my days and hand them to you
I'm awake
It was a half bad dream
That was way too long
My whole life it seemed
Than someone started digging me up
Turned my headstone into dust
I know you never lie but it's no fun to tell the truth
I guess I never loved but I will see what I can do
Got so much life to waste that I would take my days and hand them to you
I know you never lie but it's so square to tell the truth
I guess I never loved but I will see what I can do
Got so much life to waste that I would take my days and hand them to you
To you [x4]
It was a half bad dream
That was way too long
My whole life it seemed
Then someone started digging me up
Turned my headstone into dust
The sun was swallowed by the trees
The night was here for good
You pulled my hair, picked my head up
You put oxygen into my blood
You walked me through the gates like we were visitors for the day
You laid me down in the back seat
And you drove till I woke up to hear you say
You never lie but it's no fun to tell the truth
I guess I never loved but I will see what I can do
Got so much life to waste that I would take my days and hand them to you
I'm awake
It was a half bad dream
That was way too long
My whole life it seemed
Than someone started digging me up
Turned my headstone into dust
I know you never lie but it's no fun to tell the truth
I guess I never loved but I will see what I can do
Got so much life to waste that I would take my days and hand them to you
I know you never lie but it's so square to tell the truth
I guess I never loved but I will see what I can do
Got so much life to waste that I would take my days and hand them to you
To you [x4]
I Remember A Rooftop lyrics - Alkaline Trio
I remember a rooftop making out
Downstairs the carpet screamed so loud
I waited so long for that night
Then I just turned away
And I know every street
On the west side
But I was lost, unfound, not right
Maybe there's something wrong inside
Now I've got nowhere to go
My answer's all that I've got
I'm so sorry for so many things
That I haven't said yet
This is the waiting room I spent my whole life in
They gave me a thousand hands so I could count my sins
If I'm lucky maybe I'll finish before the roof caves in
I lost my life on the first try
You found it miles down the line
A swollen face with
3 first names
You kissed the taste back in my tongue
You sucked the smoke out of my lungs
And then we slept for days and days and days
When we woke up
My heart I choked up
Had to say I love you way too soon
But right there on your couch
You loved me too
Right there on your couch
You loved me too
19 and sober once or twice
I caught some junkie's bad advice
Up to my eyes in others' problems
Couldn't see I never solve them
My Only skin and bone
And this and pills unknown
I took my lousy shot
At public recognition
Could never pull the trigger
If I wasn't shaking
I lost my life on the first try
You found it miles down the line
A swollen face with
3 first names
You kissed the taste back in my tongue
You sucked the smoke out of my lungs
And then we slept for days and days and days
When we woke up
My heart I choked up
Had to say I love you way too soon
But right there on your couch
You loved me too
Right there on your couch
You loved me too
Downstairs the carpet screamed so loud
I waited so long for that night
Then I just turned away
And I know every street
On the west side
But I was lost, unfound, not right
Maybe there's something wrong inside
Now I've got nowhere to go
My answer's all that I've got
I'm so sorry for so many things
That I haven't said yet
This is the waiting room I spent my whole life in
They gave me a thousand hands so I could count my sins
If I'm lucky maybe I'll finish before the roof caves in
I lost my life on the first try
You found it miles down the line
A swollen face with
3 first names
You kissed the taste back in my tongue
You sucked the smoke out of my lungs
And then we slept for days and days and days
When we woke up
My heart I choked up
Had to say I love you way too soon
But right there on your couch
You loved me too
Right there on your couch
You loved me too

You kissed the taste back in my tongue
You sucked the smoke out of my lungs
And then we slept for days and days and days
When we woke up
My heart I choked up
Had to say I love you way too soon
But right there on your couch
You loved me too
Right there on your couch
You loved me too

Warbrain lyrics - Alkaline Trio
[Spoken:]
"Thoughts are the shadows of feelings, always darker, emptier, and simpler.
I don't care if they're fake or real, I just thank that they're showing up at all.
I have black periods. Who does not? But they are not a part of me; they are not a part of illness, but a part of my being.
Some might say I have the courage to have them. It's four o' clock in the morning. This sucks."
I can't go on
You said my head's too heavy
I need that song
Those trusty chords could pull me through
and early on
they saw the warning signs and symptoms all day long
We sit and dream of better days
Where we'd hit the ground running on empty stories we've been told
And all those nights we spent together never felt this fucking cold
When we let the car run in the driveway kiss you one last time
Before we brought the horses in before the storm of '59, of '59, of '59
I can't go on, these limbs have grown too heavy
I need that song
A night on earth could pull me through
and early on
They saw the warning signs and symptoms all day long
Wonder how far from here we'll fall
Before we hit the ground running on empty stories we've been told
And all those nights we spent together never felt this fucking cold
When we let the car run in the driveway kiss you one last time
Before we brought the horses in before the storm of '59, of '59, of '59 [x3]

We Can Never Break Up lyrics - Alkaline Trio
We can never break up
We can never not show
We can never go home
No, we can never elope
We've only got one choice
So let's keep making it
And making it
Making it
And making it
A lot of things can change
A lot of tears will dry
There's no way out of your head
I can't still drink like I'm trying
I never had to work too hard
Let's keep working it
And working it
Working it
And working it
You're like a test, I can't fuck up
You're like a song in my head, like a la la la la la like a dream
Don't wake me up and if I never see the light again
Well I guess they put me in the ground with this smile on my head, my love
My love
We can never break up
We can never not show
We can never go home
And we can never elope
We've only got one choice
So let's keep making it
And making it
Making it
And making it
You're like a test, I can't fuck up
You're like a song in my head, like a la la la la la like a dream
Don't wake me up and if I never see the light again
Well I guess they put me underground with this smile on my head, my love
My love [9x]
We can never not show
We can never go home
No, we can never elope
We've only got one choice
So let's keep making it
And making it
Making it
And making it
A lot of things can change
A lot of tears will dry
There's no way out of your head
I can't still drink like I'm trying

Dorothy lyrics - alkaline trio
Like the flutter of your fingertips,
Like the flickering of lights,
They've got their bright ideas but we've got bigger fish to fry.
Found you out there on your doorstep,
Undressed to the nines.
From your Sunday best, black and blue velvet dress.
Your head's a mess and so is mine.
Oh Dorothy, I'm coming home,
I hope you're waiting there.
I know times have been tough on you,
It's all downhill from here.
Oh Dorothy, inside that dreadful place deep in your heart,
It's beckoning, I'm racing to your doorway Dorothy.
Dorothy.
Like the scratching sounds of insects,
Beneath the blades and soil.
We'll begin the plot to get away,
To ends as black as oil.
Now it's pounding in the ear,
Left in left field for you to find.
Outside of your perifirals vision of this never ending night.
Oh Dorothy, I'm coming home,
I hope you're waiting there.
I know times have been tough on you,
It's all downhill from here.
Oh Dorothy, inside that dreadful place deep in your heart,
It's beckoning, I'm racing to your doorway Dorothy.
Dorothy.
It's a strange world isn't it?
Such strange times to be living in.
I had a change of heart tonight,
When I watched her walk into the light.
It's a strange world isn't it?
Such strange times to be living in.
I had a change of heart tonight,
When I watched her walk into the light.
I watched her walk into the light.

This Addiction lyrics - alkaline trio
You hit me just like heroin.
I feel you coursing through my veins.
I once tried to kick this addiction
I swear I'll never kick again, won't ever kick again, no.
This addiction.
Can't seem to live without you.
This addiction,
No going clean.
This addiction,
Go through withdrawal without you.
Sick with this addiction in me.
Well, those others were like methadone
I took to get me through the day.
Now I'm trying to find my way back home,
Staying clean along the way.
Hold out for the real thing, yeah.
This addiction.
Can't seem to live without you.
This addiction,
No going clean.
This addiction,
Go through withdrawal without you.
Sick with this addiction in me.
This addiction.
This addiction.
This addiction.
I go off the rails without you.
Sick with this addiction in me.
I feel you coursing through my veins.
I once tried to kick this addiction
I swear I'll never kick again, won't ever kick again, no.
This addiction.
Can't seem to live without you.
This addiction,
No going clean.
This addiction,
Go through withdrawal without you.
Sick with this addiction in me.
Well, those others were like methadone
I took to get me through the day.
Now I'm trying to find my way back home,
Staying clean along the way.

Go through withdrawal without you.
Sick with this addiction in me.
This addiction.
This addiction.
This addiction.
I go off the rails without you.
Sick with this addiction in me.
Dine, Dine My Darling - Alkaline Trio
Don't leave me alone,
I'm waiting for this to be,
The last thing that I say.
If I tried real good,
Then I probably could get a couple more days.
But the drugs are lame,
So I'm looking for you to be,
The very last thing I see,
Before I up and fly away.
I'm counting on you to help push me through
With something good to remember on my red letter days
Don't worry,
I only feel the good things.
So let's dine, dine, dine my darling
Let's have our last supper, as us, two lovers and we'll dance real sweet and slow.
And then kiss, kiss, kiss to the last clock tick
A final exhale when I'm done and you can keep my last breath floating in your lungs.
Yeah I tried alot of things because of you,
You make me tell the truth,
You taught me to drink like a man.
You rescued my tail from between my legs,
Now if I can think it I am.
And I'm taking these words with me when I go over to the other side.
I'll be waiting on you but don't show up too soon
I'll be bored as heaven but I'll be alright.
Let's dine, dine, dine my darling
Let's have our last supper, as us, two lovers and we'll dance real sweet and slow.
And then kiss, kiss, kiss to the last clock tick
A final exhale when I'm done and you can keep my last breath floating in your lungs.
Floating in your lungs.
So let's dine, dine, dine my darling.
Let's have our last supper, as us, two lovers and we'll dance real sweet and slow.
And then kiss, kiss, kiss to the last clock tick
A final exhale when I'm done and you can keep my last breath floating in your lungs.

Lead Poisoning lyrics - alkaline trio
Choking slowly,
Broken hearted.
Don't look now,
Here's what you started.
And I swore I'd be there 'til the end,
We're bitter now but better friends.
I climbed out limbless to the ledge,
To baske in my last true regret.
Lay my heavy head here down to sleep.
Now I pray to Abraxas my soul to keep.
Lay my heavy head here down to dream.
Wake up with this lead poisoning.
Sobbing softly,
Lost and hollow.
This fever dream,
Tough pill to swallow.
I swore I'd be there 'til the end
You're better off your bitterness.
I climbed out lifeless to the edge,
I waved goodbye and lept I...
Lay my heavy head down here to sleep.
Now I pray to Abraxas my soul to keep.
Lay my heavy head here down to dream.
Awaking to the blood and sweat and screams.
Woke up here on Monday morning,
This old treat on this dark corner,
Waiting here for what tomorrow brings.
Silver lake mercury mining,
This mistake no silver lining,
Waiting for a bullet train to bring me my lead poisoning.
My lead poisoning.
Lay my heavy head down here to sleep.
Now I pray to Abraxas my soul to keep.
Lay my heavy head here down to dream.
Wake up with this lead poisoning.
Broken hearted.
Don't look now,
Here's what you started.
And I swore I'd be there 'til the end,
We're bitter now but better friends.
I climbed out limbless to the ledge,
To baske in my last true regret.
Lay my heavy head here down to sleep.
Now I pray to Abraxas my soul to keep.
Lay my heavy head here down to dream.
Wake up with this lead poisoning.
Sobbing softly,
Lost and hollow.
This fever dream,
Tough pill to swallow.
I swore I'd be there 'til the end
You're better off your bitterness.
I climbed out lifeless to the edge,
I waved goodbye and lept I...
Lay my heavy head down here to sleep.
Now I pray to Abraxas my soul to keep.
Lay my heavy head here down to dream.
Awaking to the blood and sweat and screams.
Woke up here on Monday morning,
This old treat on this dark corner,
Waiting here for what tomorrow brings.
Silver lake mercury mining,
This mistake no silver lining,
Waiting for a bullet train to bring me my lead poisoning.
My lead poisoning.
Lay my heavy head down here to sleep.
Now I pray to Abraxas my soul to keep.
Lay my heavy head here down to dream.
Wake up with this lead poisoning.
Dead On The Floor lyrics - alkaline trio
Like two ships in the night,
We're colliding and sinking,
Into the black sea of our love.
We navigated past the point of logical thinking,
Lost sight of the stars up above.
Now my heart is a mess.
Murder scene in my chest,
Not a clue how you got through the door.
But I'm glad that you came,
No regret and no shame,
As I'm lying here dead on the floor.
I took a blind leap of faith,
That's now crashing and burning,
With my heart fast asleep in your bed.
I got on the ground safe
But with my insides turning,
And a picture of you in my head.
As I wandered away deep in shock and dismay,
In a daze, just repeating your name.
Well the fact of the matter is both our hearts
Shatter way too goddamn easily
When you asked me if I'd stay forever,
Guess you meant just for the week.
We felt so good together,
It was way too good to be.
When I left you there early that morning,
My darling,
I told you that I'd miss you so.
I got on that plane with my heart soaring,
But now it's falling like snow.
And like two ships in the night.
We're colliding and sinking,
Into the black sea of our love.
We navigated past the point of logical thinking,
Lost sight of the stars up above.
Now my heart is a mess.
Murder scene in my chest,
Not a clue how you got through the door.
But I'm glad that you came,
No regret and no shame,
As I'm lying here dead on the floor.
When you asked me if I'd stay forever,
Guess you meant just for the week.
We felt so good together,
It was way too good to be.
When I left you there early that morning,
My darling,
I told you that I'd miss you so,
I got on that plane with my heart soaring,
But now it's falling like snow.
Now it's falling like snow.
Now it's falling like snow.
And now it's falling like snow.
We're colliding and sinking,
Into the black sea of our love.
We navigated past the point of logical thinking,
Lost sight of the stars up above.
Now my heart is a mess.
Murder scene in my chest,
Not a clue how you got through the door.
But I'm glad that you came,
No regret and no shame,
As I'm lying here dead on the floor.
I took a blind leap of faith,
That's now crashing and burning,
With my heart fast asleep in your bed.
I got on the ground safe
But with my insides turning,
And a picture of you in my head.
As I wandered away deep in shock and dismay,
In a daze, just repeating your name.
Well the fact of the matter is both our hearts
Shatter way too goddamn easily
When you asked me if I'd stay forever,

And now it's falling like snow.
The American Scream lyrics - alkaline trio
Well they tied that yellow ribbon round the oak tree.
They've worn out all the prayer in their hearts.
All along thought they were routing for the home team,
As they're sent to the game and torn apart.
We twist this tourniquet upon the pipeline,
That he carries all the pain in the world.
As we blindly clap and cheer from the sidelines
It's clear, on a losing streak from the very start.
And that's where they found me,
In the cemetary.
A smoking gun in my hand,
Now I'm damned for the land of the free.
Sing with me,
The american scream.
They took that faded ribbon off the oak tree.
They've worn out all the hope in their hearts.
All along thought I was doing the right thing,
Now I'm lying in a pool of my blood.
And that's where she found me,
In the cemetary,
A smoking gun in my hand,
Now I'm damned for the land of the free.
Sing with me.
And that's where she found me,
In the cemetary,
A smoking gun in my hand,
Now I'm damned for the land of the free.
Sing with me,
The american scream.
The american scream.
And that's where she found me,
In the cemetary,
A smoking gun in my hand,
Now I'm damned for the land of the free.
Sing with me,
The american scream.
They've worn out all the prayer in their hearts.
All along thought they were routing for the home team,
As they're sent to the game and torn apart.
We twist this tourniquet upon the pipeline,
That he carries all the pain in the world.
As we blindly clap and cheer from the sidelines
It's clear, on a losing streak from the very start.
And that's where they found me,

The american scream.
And that's where she found me,

Sing with me,

Off The Map lyrics - alkaline trio
I needed more wine,you needed more sleep.
We just fought, two hours and seven minutes.
Honestly, I'm surprised we made it.
I retir to my chair, I grabbed my new guitar.
But I can't make a sound, you could hear poisonous pins dropping all around.
Like rain, but I can ride the storm out.
Because I'm like the junkie for your smart mouth.
See I'm so far off the map the sun is shining,
While it's raining and I'm draped in silver lining.
And I can row, row, row my boat back to shore someday.
So are you coming with me?
Anchors aweigh.
I loosen my lips and the truth slips out.
A free ride on a fork tonge,
This twine of trust is unspun.
I could start to believe that's what you need from me.
So far from what I want for you but I'll lock it down and we'll make do.
You're right, there's only one real option,
And I'm here now so help me keep my voice down.
See I'm so far off the map the sun is shining,
While it's raining and I'm draped in silver lining.
And I can row, row, row my boat back to shore someday.
So are you coming with me?
Anchors aweigh.
Yeah I'm so far off the map the sun is shining,
While it's raining and I'm draped in silver lining.
And I can row, row, row my boat back to shore someday.
So are you coming with me?

Draculina lyrics - alkaline trio
Whatever happened to Wonderland?
And where'd Alice go? oh.
I took a night train with knife in hand,
And cut out to the next show back in her living hell.
I wish to dwell, I long to be,
In the blood and the guts with the birds of pray and the stinging of bees and bullets maybe.
Leaving heaven behind for good this time, the angels can keep it.
I've got a deamon in mind and she's standing behind my dark secret.
Draculina.
Whatever happened to Wonderland?
No one really knows, no.
But Draculina had her teeth sinking deep in me,
From the get to the go back in her living hell.
I wish to dwell, I long to be,
In the blood and the guts with the birds of pray and the stinging of bees and bullets maybe.
Leaving heaven behind for good this time, the angels can keep it.
I've got a deamon in mind and she's standing behind my dark secret.
Oh Draculina.
Leaving heaven behind for good this time, the Angels can keep it.
I got a devil inside that has been exorcised now I'm bleeding for Draculina.
Draculina. Draculina.
Woah, oh oh oh
Draculina. Oh Draculina.
I'm leaving heaven behind for good this time, the angels can keep it.
I've got a deamon in mind and she's standing behind my dark secret.
Draculina.
I'm leaving heaven behind for good this time, the Angels can keep it.
I got a devil inside that has been exorcised now I'm bleeding for Draculina.
Woah oh oh
Draculina. Draculina.
Woah oh oh
Draculina. Draculina.
And where'd Alice go? oh.
I took a night train with knife in hand,
And cut out to the next show back in her living hell.
I wish to dwell, I long to be,
In the blood and the guts with the birds of pray and the stinging of bees and bullets maybe.
Leaving heaven behind for good this time, the angels can keep it.
I've got a deamon in mind and she's standing behind my dark secret.
Draculina.

Eating Me Alive lyrics - alkaline trio
Well I found you outside like a sunrise,
That melted my eyes from my skull.
As I turned into ash before for my sweet demise,
The end of me was so beautiful.
Well now you're stuck in my head like a love song,
That climbed to the top of the charts.
How the fuck can something be so wrong and so right?
All the wrong words but all the right parts.
And you can sit there and tell me that I didn't try,
And I can honestly tell you that I never lied.
I can't stand this dark feeling, the shark eating me up inside.
Eating me alive
Eating me alive
Well I found you out there in the moonlight,
In your eyes there were diamonds like stars.
I was bound by your father, the jewel theif,
That night as you said he was still behind bars.
Now you're stuck in my head like a love song,
The words I can never forget.
As I sucked on your neck for way too long,
And drained you of every last drop you had left.
You can sit there and tell me that I didn't try,
And I can honestly tell you that I never lied.
I can't stand this dark feeling, the shark eating me up inside.
Eating me alive.
Eating me alive.
Here lies a homocidal story, sad but true.
The time has come and gone but I'd do anything for you.
You can sit there and tell me that I didn't try,
And I can honestly tell you that I never lied.
I can't stand this dark feeling, the shark eating me up inside.
Eating me alive.
Eating me alive.
Eating me alive.
That melted my eyes from my skull.
As I turned into ash before for my sweet demise,
The end of me was so beautiful.
Well now you're stuck in my head like a love song,
That climbed to the top of the charts.
How the fuck can something be so wrong and so right?
All the wrong words but all the right parts.
And you can sit there and tell me that I didn't try,
And I can honestly tell you that I never lied.
I can't stand this dark feeling, the shark eating me up inside.
Eating me alive
Eating me alive
Well I found you out there in the moonlight,
In your eyes there were diamonds like stars.
I was bound by your father, the jewel theif,
That night as you said he was still behind bars.
Now you're stuck in my head like a love song,
The words I can never forget.
As I sucked on your neck for way too long,
And drained you of every last drop you had left.
You can sit there and tell me that I didn't try,
And I can honestly tell you that I never lied.
I can't stand this dark feeling, the shark eating me up inside.
Eating me alive.
Eating me alive.
Here lies a homocidal story, sad but true.
The time has come and gone but I'd do anything for you.
You can sit there and tell me that I didn't try,
And I can honestly tell you that I never lied.
I can't stand this dark feeling, the shark eating me up inside.
Eating me alive.
Eating me alive.
Eating me alive.
Piss And Vinegar lyrics - alkaline trio
Well I'm piss and vinegar again
And I hiss and I rattle and shed
And I encircle you like a piranha school
As you slowly fight your way to shore
Well I'm piss and vinegar again,
And I needed this like a new hole in the head.
I'm hiding out in the drink,
I float in waiting to sink,
My great white teeth into your sweet bones.
With an ache in my heart and a thorn in my side,
I've got nowhere to run, no place left to hide.
I've got a burning sensation like Clockwork Orange herbicide
Feels like it's raining all the time.
Well I'm piss and vinegar again
'Cause I feel like I lost my best friend
And at the end of the day,
Once it's all down the drain,
I'll be fine.
I'll be fine.
With an ache in my heart and a thorn in my side
I got no where to run, no place left to hide
I've got a burning sensation like Clockwork Orange herbicide
Feels like it's raining all the time.
Now this supernatural disaster,
Found me quickly but left even faster.
Now I'm sick with the sight of the plaster.
This old familiar ceiling is bleeding me dry.
With an ache in my heart and a thorn in my side,
I got no where to run, no place left to hide.
I've got a burning sensation like Clockwork Orange herbicide
Feels like it's raining all the time.
And I hiss and I rattle and shed
And I encircle you like a piranha school
As you slowly fight your way to shore
Well I'm piss and vinegar again,
And I needed this like a new hole in the head.
I'm hiding out in the drink,
I float in waiting to sink,
My great white teeth into your sweet bones.
With an ache in my heart and a thorn in my side,
I've got nowhere to run, no place left to hide.
I've got a burning sensation like Clockwork Orange herbicide
Feels like it's raining all the time.
Well I'm piss and vinegar again
'Cause I feel like I lost my best friend
And at the end of the day,
Once it's all down the drain,
I'll be fine.
I'll be fine.
With an ache in my heart and a thorn in my side
I got no where to run, no place left to hide
I've got a burning sensation like Clockwork Orange herbicide
Feels like it's raining all the time.
Now this supernatural disaster,
Found me quickly but left even faster.
Now I'm sick with the sight of the plaster.
This old familiar ceiling is bleeding me dry.
With an ache in my heart and a thorn in my side,
I got no where to run, no place left to hide.
I've got a burning sensation like Clockwork Orange herbicide
Feels like it's raining all the time.
Fine lyrics - alkaline trio
It's gonna rain like this for days,
I'm gonna drown in my old ways,
But I'm fine.
I'm fine.
It's gonna hurt like hell
When you pull back the hammer and fire,
But I'm fine
I'm fine.
You see a storm knocked out my super power,
Now I sleep through thundershowers.
Wake me when you learn to be cool.
If I'm the captain of this boat then all my shipmates are fools.
And all the the stars in the world couldn't help me steer my way out of this kiddie pool.
I'm gonna wake up from these dreams
With nightmares lined up on my street,
But I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Needed a hand to keep my head up
So you put hooks in both my ears,
And I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Yeah it's a chronic pain in my ass but no, it's not a burden.
It's ironic that I drink to make my insides stop hurting.
And it's love that gives me heartburn,
It's a song that makes my stomach turn,
And I wouldn't trade my hand for all the aces in the deck.
'Cause I'm fine
'Cause I'm fine
I'm fine
I'm fine
I'm fine
I'm gonna drown in my old ways,
But I'm fine.
I'm fine.
It's gonna hurt like hell
When you pull back the hammer and fire,
But I'm fine
I'm fine.
You see a storm knocked out my super power,
Now I sleep through thundershowers.
Wake me when you learn to be cool.
If I'm the captain of this boat then all my shipmates are fools.
And all the the stars in the world couldn't help me steer my way out of this kiddie pool.
I'm gonna wake up from these dreams
With nightmares lined up on my street,
But I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Needed a hand to keep my head up
So you put hooks in both my ears,
And I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Yeah it's a chronic pain in my ass but no, it's not a burden.
It's ironic that I drink to make my insides stop hurting.
And it's love that gives me heartburn,
It's a song that makes my stomach turn,
And I wouldn't trade my hand for all the aces in the deck.
'Cause I'm fine
'Cause I'm fine
I'm fine
I'm fine
I'm fine
Kick Rocks lyrics - alkaline trio
You take these sticks and stones
and apply what you have learned
but you ain't got no water
so you let that motherfucker burn
Yea it smoked up and it burned out
Like a graduation bonfire two miles from your house
and you had nowhere to go, so you came right back here
I couldn't find what you wanted, so you slapped me in the face and spilled my beer
and when the mess dried up you came up singing,
Let us drink from the hourglass
We can make time stop
Watch from the window upstairs
While they all kick rocks
and I miss smoking in the fall
and pissin' on that gas station wall
What's a law? What's a fire? What's a river?
We jumped over them all
but I guess my legs got tired and my teeth got long
So take a sip from the hourglass
We can make time stop
Watch from the window upstairs
While they all kick rocks
I tried to write you a passage
but you're holdin' out for the flick
Wait outside by the exit
When they don't let you in
So we can drink from the hourglass
We can make time stop
Watch from the window upstairs
While they all kick rocks
and apply what you have learned
but you ain't got no water
so you let that motherfucker burn
Yea it smoked up and it burned out
Like a graduation bonfire two miles from your house
and you had nowhere to go, so you came right back here
I couldn't find what you wanted, so you slapped me in the face and spilled my beer
and when the mess dried up you came up singing,
Let us drink from the hourglass
We can make time stop
Watch from the window upstairs
While they all kick rocks
and I miss smoking in the fall
and pissin' on that gas station wall
What's a law? What's a fire? What's a river?
We jumped over them all
but I guess my legs got tired and my teeth got long
So take a sip from the hourglass
We can make time stop
Watch from the window upstairs
While they all kick rocks
I tried to write you a passage
but you're holdin' out for the flick
Wait outside by the exit
When they don't let you in
So we can drink from the hourglass
We can make time stop
Watch from the window upstairs
While they all kick rocks
Those Lungs lyrics - alkaline trio
Now I lay me down to pass out wasted again.
I guess that makes this the seventh time this week.
There's some words in my head that could keep me from dying.
Are you handling this any better than I am?
If I keep it together would you promise to keep us together?
Oh, sometimes we lose each other,
But please don't lose your tongue.
When I get home I'll keep you up for hours
I'm gonna need breath in those lungs.
And when you're finally able to fall asleep,
Though, the sun might disagree,
I'm gonna lay right there and watch you breathe
'Til you wake up to me.
How's it happen that I get to have you for so long?
But then your just ripped away from me as I get tossed out to the sea
To fight the sharks out there and wait for a wind swell
Oh, I'm kind of like a sailor back in 1942
Yeah, I wanna fight the good fight, but goddamn I'm gonna miss you.
Oh, sometimes we lose each other,
But please don't lose your tongue.
When I get home I'll keep you up for hours
I'm gonna need breath in those lungs.
And when you're finally able to fall asleep
Though, the sun might disagree
I'm gonna lay right there and watch you breathe
'Til you wake up to me.
Please don't lose your tongue.
Please don't lose those lungs.
Oh, sometimes we lose each other,
But please don't lose your tongue.
When I get home I'll keep you up for hours
I'm gonna need breath in those lungs.
And when you're finally able to fall asleep,
Though, the sun might disagree,
I am gonna lay right there and watch you breathe
'Til you wake up to me.
I guess that makes this the seventh time this week.

Calling All Skeletons lyrics - alkaline trio
Here it is again yet it stings like the first time
Seems it never ends, Double nickels on your dime
I thought we were friends, I guess it just depends who you ask
These feelings tend to leave me with a hole in my chest
A hole in my chest
Now the time has come I just wish I could erase
All the damage done to your name and your keepsakes
It's only just begun, it's been fun, we were blind, deaf and dumb
There's a party in my closet calling all skeletons
All Skeletons.....Calling All
Where did you go as the lights went black?
Look whats become of me
I've grown to love your disappearing acts,
Do one more pretty please
Now the time has come I just wish I could erase
All the damage done, all this pain, all this heartache
It's only just begun, it's been fun, we were fucked up and numb
There's a killer on the corner and he's looking for love
He's....Looking for love
Yeah he's looking for (you my love)
Where did you go as the lights went black?
Look whats become of me
I've grown to love your disappearing acts,
Do one more pretty please
And to tell you the truth I lost my faith in you
(You gotta stop sneaking off on me)
And these unspoken lies appear at the worst times
(You gotta stop sneaking off on me)
They're hiding just behind your eyes
Where did you go as the lights went black?
Look whats become of me
I've grown to love your disappearing acts,
Do one more pretty please
Where did you go once the lights went black?
You nearly gave us a heart attack
We thought you might've swam out to sea
You gotta stop sneaking off on me
You gotta stop sneaking off on me
Seems it never ends, Double nickels on your dime
I thought we were friends, I guess it just depends who you ask
These feelings tend to leave me with a hole in my chest
A hole in my chest
Now the time has come I just wish I could erase
All the damage done to your name and your keepsakes
It's only just begun, it's been fun, we were blind, deaf and dumb
There's a party in my closet calling all skeletons
All Skeletons.....Calling All
Where did you go as the lights went black?
Look whats become of me
I've grown to love your disappearing acts,
Do one more pretty please
Now the time has come I just wish I could erase
All the damage done, all this pain, all this heartache
It's only just begun, it's been fun, we were fucked up and numb
There's a killer on the corner and he's looking for love
He's....Looking for love
Yeah he's looking for (you my love)
Where did you go as the lights went black?

Help Me lyrics - alkaline trio
Here you find me in between
Heaven and Hell my dear
Where nothing's what it seems
It's just as well I fear
I'm giving you the creeps
And a farewell kiss to go into the unknown
Saw you standing there
Outside the music hall
You come out for some air
Uncertain curtain call
And everyone just stared
When you took the stage that night
Something's not right
You're up there
Took the stairs
To the stars all alone
You left all the lights burning
But nobody's home
I believe they deceived your tuneful heart too long
Now they sing along
Help me, Help me won't you?
Sing me, sing me one last song?
Help me, Help me, somebody help me
Save me from myself
Here I find you in between
Heaven and Hell again
Where nothing's what it seems
It's just as well my friend
I'm giving me the creeps
And a farewell to arms, and legs, and heads, and hearts
You're up there
Took the stairs
To the stars all alone
You left all the lights burning
But nobody's home
I believe they deceived your tuneful heart too long
Now they sing along
Help me, Help me, won't you?
Sing me, sing me one last song?
Help me, Help me, somebody help me
Save me from myself, Take me from this Hell
Now they sing along
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Sing me, sing me one last song?
Help me, Help me, somebody help me
Save me from myself
Help me, Help me won't you?
Sing me, sing me one last song?
Help me, Help me, somebody help me
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Save me from myself
Take me from this Hell

In Vein lyrics - alkaline trio
My point of reference makes me afraid to begin convincing,
But you might as well just change your name.
'Cause I only recognize this shadow,
Kinda like a superhero with nobody's best interests in mind.
Now there's blood in the waters, that I squeezed from this stone, here
And we turned into our cheap wine.
And I swallowed every drop, yes, I could feel my stomach rotting,
You were so supportive as I drank through the pain.
You recognize this shape, it's the back of your hand. (Whoa-oh whoa-oh [x2])
You placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah. (Whoa-oh whoa-oh [x2])
And I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein.
Dove off the deep side platform, jack-knifed and bone dry, I hit floor
One broken ankle saved my name.
And this eraser burn, I dig in deep at every turn.
It keeps getting darker and the fear stays the same.
You recognize this shape, it's the back of your hand. (Whoa-oh whoa-oh [x2])
You placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah. (Whoa-oh whoa-oh [x2])
And I don't wanna be the one who takes this place,
don't wanna be the one who takes,
I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein.
(Whoa-oh whoa-oh, Whoa-oh whoa-oh oh [x2])
I don't wanna take, I don't wanna take this place, no.
I don't want to take, I don't wanna take this place, no.
No-oh, no-oh. I don't wanna take this place, no.
No-oh, no-oh. I don't wanna take this place, no.
You recognize this shape, it's the back of your hand. (Whoa-oh whoa-oh [x2])
You placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah. (Whoa-oh whoa-oh [x2])
And I don't wanna be the one who takes this place,
don't wanna be the one who takes,
I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein.
But you might as well just change your name.

Over And Out lyrics - alkaline trio
"Over and out," she said, from a hospital bed
"For what it's worth, it doesn't hurt, don't cry."
"Over and out," he said, with a .45 to his head
"The war has taken everything from me, it's all I see so..."
Run for cover as fast as you can
Where fighters are lovers, enemies are friends
And pens and knives apologize for leaving you tonight
For leaving you tonight
"Over and out," he sighed, "it seems I've run out of time.
Please tell my wife I loved her more than life itself."
"Over and out," she sang, as the telephone rang
"There's no pain, no answering no more, no."
So run for cover as fast as you can
Where fighters are lovers, enemies are friends
And pens and knives apologize for leaving you
Run for cover and you'll find us there
To take on the anguish, make it disappear
When hand grenades and napalm flames are leaving you tonight
Let this candle burn 'til you get home
Never forget your face, never lose hope
Tonight...
Run for cover as fast as you can
Where fighters are lovers, enemies are friends
And pens and knives apologize for leaving you
Run for cover and you'll find us there (Over and out)
To take on the anger, make it disappear (Over and out)
When razor blades were softly serenading you
"For what it's worth, it doesn't hurt, don't cry."
"Over and out," he said, with a .45 to his head
"The war has taken everything from me, it's all I see so..."
Run for cover as fast as you can
Where fighters are lovers, enemies are friends
And pens and knives apologize for leaving you tonight
For leaving you tonight
"Over and out," he sighed, "it seems I've run out of time.
Please tell my wife I loved her more than life itself."
"Over and out," she sang, as the telephone rang
"There's no pain, no answering no more, no."
So run for cover as fast as you can
Where fighters are lovers, enemies are friends
And pens and knives apologize for leaving you
Run for cover and you'll find us there
To take on the anguish, make it disappear
When hand grenades and napalm flames are leaving you tonight
Let this candle burn 'til you get home
Never forget your face, never lose hope
Tonight...
Run for cover as fast as you can
Where fighters are lovers, enemies are friends
And pens and knives apologize for leaving you
Run for cover and you'll find us there (Over and out)
To take on the anger, make it disappear (Over and out)
When razor blades were softly serenading you
I Found Away lyrics - alkaline trio
Midway on our life's journey, I found myself
In dark woods, the right road lost. To tell
About those woods is hard - so tangled and rough
And savage that thinking of it now, I feel
The old fear stirring....
Stumbling through the dark with a broken heart, all alone at it once again
Seeping in like a feeling you haven't felt since way back when
In the dead of that night, like the Summer of Sam
I caught word of the commotion you cause via telegram
And got all worked up, we got all worked up
I found away
Over the fear and through the flames, I'm diving in
Don't follow me, stay right here I'll be back for you someday
I found away, it'd be best if you just stayed
It's not safe, don't follow me
I found away, I found away
Frozen in the lights of a locomotive, tied to the tracks again
You said you haven't felt this comatose since you can't remember when
You fly off the handle every time we sleep, straight off the deep
I found away
Over the fear and through the flames, I'm diving in
Don't follow me, stay right here I'll be back for you someday
I found away, it'd be best if you just stayed
It's not safe, don't follow me
I found away, I found away
Away...
Away...
From the top of my lungs the truth shall be sung, sharp and damning
Violently stabbing at secrecy
That look on your face, it's more than I can take it's scaring
The living hell straight out of me
I found away
Over the fear and through the flames, I'm diving in
Don't follow me, stay right here I'll be back for you someday
I found away, it'd be best if you just stayed
It's not safe, don't follow me
I found away, I found away
I found away, I found away, I found away
I found away, I found away, I found away
I found away, I found away, I found away
I found away, I found away, I found away
In dark woods, the right road lost. To tell
About those woods is hard - so tangled and rough
And savage that thinking of it now, I feel
The old fear stirring....
Stumbling through the dark with a broken heart, all alone at it once again
Seeping in like a feeling you haven't felt since way back when
In the dead of that night, like the Summer of Sam
I caught word of the commotion you cause via telegram
And got all worked up, we got all worked up
I found away
Over the fear and through the flames, I'm diving in
Don't follow me, stay right here I'll be back for you someday
I found away, it'd be best if you just stayed
It's not safe, don't follow me
I found away, I found away
Frozen in the lights of a locomotive, tied to the tracks again
You said you haven't felt this comatose since you can't remember when
You fly off the handle every time we sleep, straight off the deep
I found away
Over the fear and through the flames, I'm diving in
Don't follow me, stay right here I'll be back for you someday
I found away, it'd be best if you just stayed
It's not safe, don't follow me
I found away, I found away

I found away, I found away
I found away, I found away, I found away
I found away, I found away, I found away
I found away, I found away, I found away
I found away, I found away, I found away
Do You Wanna Know? lyrics - alkaline trio
So hello where are we today
Still fighting, still running in place
Now the outline of this lake
Seems to be pointing me away
Honestly I've never lied more to myself
All over the floor, right through my teeth I've showed you
Just how weak my knees can get so
Don't let go
My spine is slipping like a fault line
If I go I'll bury us all
Don't close my door
Don't leave me out with these mosquitoes
Trying to drink up all my wine
Do you wanna know
What my love is?
Oh, do you wanna hear how my song goes?
Do you wanna know
What my love is?
Don't say no
Don't say no
And now it's up to me
To wait, I need you to reciprocate
My heart is ticking like a box
Sent to me by anonymous
And now I'm scared to open it
I'm always blowing up to bits
I'm always running out of lines
Running out of time
So don't let go
My spine is slipping like a fault line
If I go I'll bury us all
Don't close my door
Don't leave me out with these mosquitoes
Trying to drink up all my wine
Do you wanna know
What my love is?
Oh, do you wanna hear how my song goes?
Do you wanna know
What my love is?
Don't say no
Don't say no
Don't let me go
I'll fall apart
Don't say you won't follow my heart
I've kept this deep inside for far too long (it can't be wrong!)
Only one life to give
I cross my heart and hope to live
With you my darling here forever more
So do you wanna know?
Where my love is?
Oh, do you wanna hear how my song goes?
Do you wanna know?
Where my love is?
Don't say no
Don't say no
Don't say no
Do you wanna know?
What my love is?
Oh, do you wanna hear how my song goes? (Don't say no)
Do you wanna know?
What my love is?
Don't say no
Don't say no
Still fighting, still running in place
Now the outline of this lake
Seems to be pointing me away
Honestly I've never lied more to myself
All over the floor, right through my teeth I've showed you
Just how weak my knees can get so
Don't let go
My spine is slipping like a fault line
If I go I'll bury us all
Don't close my door
Don't leave me out with these mosquitoes
Trying to drink up all my wine
Do you wanna know
What my love is?
Oh, do you wanna hear how my song goes?
Do you wanna know
What my love is?
Don't say no
Don't say no
And now it's up to me
To wait, I need you to reciprocate
My heart is ticking like a box
Sent to me by anonymous
And now I'm scared to open it
I'm always blowing up to bits
I'm always running out of lines
Running out of time
So don't let go
My spine is slipping like a fault line
If I go I'll bury us all
Don't close my door
Don't leave me out with these mosquitoes
Trying to drink up all my wine
Do you wanna know
What my love is?
Oh, do you wanna hear how my song goes?
Do you wanna know
What my love is?
Don't say no
Don't say no
Don't let me go
I'll fall apart
Don't say you won't follow my heart
I've kept this deep inside for far too long (it can't be wrong!)
