"My Shame Is True" (2013)



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
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
And I 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
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'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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
