"From Here To Infirmary" (2001)



Private Eye lyrics - alkaline trio

I dragged this lake looking for corpses
Dusted for prints, pried up the floorboards
Pieces of planes and black box recorders
Don't lie
And I've been preoccupied with these sick, sick senses
That sense DNA on barbed wire fences
Maybe someday I'll find me a suspect
That has no alibi
New Year's Eve was as boring as heaven
I watched flies fuck on channel 11
There was no one to kiss, there was nothing to drink
Except some old rotten milk someone left in the sink
And there's no ring on the phone anymore
There's no reason to call I passed out on the floor
Smoked myself stupid and drank my insides raisin dry
But at the right place at the right time
I'll be dead wrong and you'll be just fine
And I won't have to quit doing fucked up shit
For anyone but me
And at the right place at the right time
It will have been worth it to stand in line
And you won't have to stop
Saying "I love cops" for anyone but me
Your private eye

Mr. Chainsaw lyrics - alkaline trio

When was it that you lost your youth or traded
It for something more for them to use so jaded
Why is it that you never said
I love you more than just a friend
I pray this gridlock never ends
And when we get there just depends
I found out recently that you are leaving
For good I hope I softly tell my ceiling
It's better now to be alive
Sleeping is my 9 to 5
I'm having nightmares all the time
Of running out of words that rhyme
Everything that you could never say
Would never matter anyway
I took a hammer and two nails to my eardrums long ago
Before that steak knife took my eyes
I looked up to the sky
For the last thing I would ever see
For the last time I'd cry
When was it that you sold your life or wasted
Every bite of that small slice you never tasted
I guess I should be one to talk
There's nights that I can't even walk
There's days I couldn't give a fuck
And in between is where I'm stuck
From blocks away I heard somebody screaming
That small child inside of you that you left bleeding
You stabbed him up not once but twice
Cubicles will now suffice
Some say it's the roll of the dice
I think they're wrong I know I'm right
Every breath that I could barely breathe
Could barely make it past my teeth
I took a blowtorch to both of my lungs a long long time ago
Every step that i could take
Every one more difficult to make
Mr. Chainsaw came and took my legs a long, long time ago
In case you're wondering
I'm singing about growing up about giving in
In case you're wondering we're singing about growing up
About giving up and giving in

Take Lots With Alcohol lyrics - alkaline trio

Hello what the hell am I doin' here
That's a really nice suit
This is a really comfortable chair
See I don't know if you can help me or not
Cause I don't feel sick
But the pains in my head have almost put me
Underground
I don't really care if I'm healthy or not
Just clean my head up doc
I'll give you anything you want
See I don't know why I don't fall in love
Well maybe I know why and maybe you could make it stop
Then we'll cut it up and bury it and leave it
Underground
And I'll take to wishing and fall under
Sleeping safe and sound
Just give me medicine prescribe me anything
Just knock me out and walk me through the door
I have no desire to see through my own eyes anymore
Hello what the hell are you doing here
You made a really strange face
This is a really uncomfortable air
I see I'm boring you, maybe I bore myself too
That's why I need help, I'm cleaning blood off dusty shelves
I been cut up in this room so many times it might take days
And those stress cracks in the wood
How nicely the soak up the stains
Been telling myself these jokes for so long well so long
I'm a has been who is heckled on the stage

Stupid Kid lyrics - alkaline trio

There are things that used to make me smile
One of them was you for just a little while
You left me for dead so far away
I replaced you with fear and shame
You'll be happy on the day I die

There are things that used to make me laugh
But now they're deeply buried in the past
I left them there so far away
Replaced my humor with my pain
I'll be happy on the day it dies

Remember when I said I love you
Well, forget it I take it back
I was just a stupid kid back then
I take back every word that I said

There are things that used to make you cry
One of them was me for just a little while
Why is it that you had to say
Goodbye in your special way
You slashed the tires on my car

Remember when I said I love you
Well, forget it I take it back
I was just a stupid kid back then
I take back every word that I said

Remember when I said I love you
Well, go ahead I take it back
I was just a stupid kid back then
I take back every word that I said

Another Innocent Girl lyrics - alkaline trio

He likes to act like he's all grown up
He wanted to grow up to be an actor
But he never told anybody
He likes to spill all of his guts
On the top of a well stocked bar
And then swallow them bit by bit remembering every scar
As a valid reason for every drink
And a new tattoo is a new reason to think
He likes to pretend that he is all sewn up
It makes for a much stronger case
But there is blood underneath that skin
That scar is not so easy to erase
He walks with a glass cane now
He's careful when holding his body up straight
Can't go outside when it's raining
Can't smash up that beautiful face
Another innocent girl just made his list
That self pity shit is just too hard too resist
And when we get home
you'll see that this part of him is now part of me
And its way too easy to fake this smile lead you on
Maybe I'm wrong but everyone gets bored once in awhile

Steamer Trunk lyrics - alkaline trio

Why you turned out the way you did
That thunderstorm is still crashing in
your cranium
Find that all these funny faces look the same
I know who's to blame
But I swore I wouldn't say
Its time that I got moving on
As you're still burning the dress you wore to senior prom
Try to forget how you've been touched
I loved you so I told you
But it didn't matter much
And I'm trying to figure out
What you're all about these days
I don't have much to say to you
And I've been drunker than a skunk
Ever since the day I left you
With your darkest secret safely packed away
Up in my steamer trunk
Why I turned out the way I did
Someone somewhere dropped me on my cranium
I'm sorry can you repeat what you just said
My short term memory is gone
But my long term's far from dead
I've been swearing like a sailor
Ever since the day I left her

You're Dead lyrics - alkaline trio

What the hell is your name
And can you explain this mess
It seems you're playing a game
Where you only know how to take out the best

Cause if assholes could fly
This place would be busier than O'Hare
There's proof in the sky
It's as thick as our skulls yet it's thinner than air

I have something to say
If the chip off your shoulder should fall to your chest
Get it off right away
Cause if you don't then it won't be in peace that you rest
It's just a matter of time
That we all go away to a better place I'm told
It all sounds well and fine
But without you around I feel nothing but cold

And I now have nothing
But your heartbeat in my head
And a photograph of my traveling friend

So what the hell is your name
And can you explain this mess
It seems you're playing a game
Where you only know how to take out the best

Cause if assholes could fly
This place would be busier than O'Hare
There's proof in the sky
It's as thick as our skulls yet it's thinner than air

And I now have nothing
But your heartbeat in my head
And a photograph of my traveling friend
And I became nothing when I found out you were dead
When I found out I'd never see you again
And all the time they took talking in circles
To get them off the hook would take miracle workers
We're nowhere near prepared there's
no way of knowing
Why don't they just admit they're scared
Cause its already showing

And I now have nothing
But your heartbeat in my head
And a photograph of my traveling friend

And I now have nothing
But your heartbeat in my head
And a photograph of my traveling friend
And I became nothing when I found out you were dead
When I found out I'd never see you again

Armageddon lyrics - alkaline trio

I wrote the words to this song on the back of a photograph
Behind your back it goes
A little something like this is way to big to miss
I got a letter in the mail
The sender failed to let me know where it came from
Opened it up and sure enough there we were
arm in arm (up in arms) again
I know it's small but my last call's been called
half an hour ago
I know it's late but do you think you could at least
fix it for me
Then I'll go I'll go alone I swear
I won't tell a soul
I'll drink this beer and write in fear
of a song everybody hates
Armageddon, let the light in
Before we say goodbye give us something to believe in
Armageddon, we're not begging
For too much I don't think
Just need a goodbye kiss (one last salute)
Before we sink
We sink

I'm Dying Tomorrow lyrics - alkaline trio

I'm dying tomorrow
This house, this street, Chicago
I'm dying tomorrow
Did I do it right
Did I remember to sleep in
Take lots of pills
Commit irreversible sins
Did I at least try to kiss the prettiest girl
At the right time
Did I remember to keep your beer as full as mine
Did I remember to say cheers
Did I at least try to make sure everybody had a good time
Had the best time
Did I remember to stay up late
Drinking for the fun
Drinking for the taste
Did I run outside to kiss the rain
Under electrical skies
I'm dying tomorrow
This house, this street, Chicago
I'm dying tomorrow
Did I do it right

Bloodied Up lyrics - alkaline trio

You don't say much of anything
When questioned of your whereabouts
And I just can't see through the evidence
It's evident
It's right in front of me in black and white and red
And I don't believe in much of anything
I'm glad I have people I call friends
If it was up to me I'd never have to miss you
It's for the better in the bitter end
I guess you'd know the best
You have every right to be
This appalled with me
Join the club
I signed up a long time ago and I know how you feel
And when you decked me
You left me knocked out on the floor
I came to bloodied up, but you weren't around
I picked my teeth off the ground like they'd been there before

Trucks And Trains lyrics - alkaline trio

These days go by like trucks and trains
Some hit so hard you barely feel a thing
Lights out right now back then and forevermore
Lights out left now these robots marching
To the nearest liquor store
There's something green that's leaving town
Always thought it was blue
Always knew I was wrong
Where it goes hell knows
maybe somewhere better than here
And what they say of the grass on the other sides true
Too much time looking up is turning everything blue
Including me - including you
Including you
These times count down like boats and planes
Some wash away in undertow
Some plummet down in flames
Lights out right now back then and forevermore
With sirens on this ambulance is racing
to the west coast shore
There's something blue that's leaving town
We always talked about black we're considering brown
Where it goes hell knows
Maybe somewhere better than here
And what they say of the grass on the other sides true
Too much time looking up's turning everything blue
Including me, including the ocean, including you
Feel the ocean blue
Engulfing you
I view the deep blue sea
It's turning red right in front of me
There's something gray that's leaving town
And it's way beyond me
How it gets off the ground
Where it goes hell knows
Maybe somewhere better than here
And what they say of the grass on the other sides true
Too much time looking ups turning everything blue
Including me, including the pilots, including you

Crawl lyrics - alkaline trio

Waking up zeroed in on medicine
Am I waking up at all today
Seeing lights, feeling pain
There's my cure on ice
I can walk but I will crawl there
I will crawl there
Sitting straight, feeling faint
An exhausted smile screens my words
But I will hear them
Here's a phrase that we all know
But I can't make sense
I don't know words but I will hear them
I still hear them
Never ran away for the sake of scars
Tried not to move but she was armed
And shots were fired
Now a hole in the head of this wounded liar
Never had a drink that I didn't like
Got a taste of you, threw up all night
I got more sick
With every sour second rate kiss
Everything I never would miss again
I don't know who your boyfriend is

Hell Yes lyrics - alkaline trio

I gave up on you a long time ago
How can you blame me?
We made plans to meet and you never showed
You kept me waiting
They said everything would work out just fine
They said you'd help me
But as it turns out it was all a lie
And they're off someplace far away laughing at me

You've been there for me one time in my life
But it didn't matter
You came and went so fast all my hope
And faith in you shattered
And now here I sit alone in this room
No one to confide in
You watched all my dreams come apart at the seams
You laughed, you left, you waited in hiding

Bless me dark father I have sinned
I've done it before and I'll do it again
Cuz it keeps me warm, and makes you smile
Been beneath me all the while
Hell yes

You gave up on me along time ago
I can't say I blame you
I rejected the faith in your holy rays
Is what it comes down to
They said everything would work out just fine
I just went crazy
But I'm better now having a good time
Being selfish, and drunken, and vulgar, and lazy

Bless me dark father I have sinned
I've done it before and I'll do it again
Cuz it keeps me warm, and makes you smile
Been beneath me all the while

Bless me dark father I can't win
Without you I'm as good as dead
Cuz you keep me warm, you make me smile
You've been on my shoulder all the while

Whispering sweet nothings
Whispering sweet nothings
Whispering sweet nothings
You've been whispering sweet nothings

"The Alkaline Trio" (2000)



My Friend Peter lyrics - alkaline trio

I dont care who you've been sleeping with these days
You're outta my hair
It's growing just above my smiling face that I wear
Every night I drink myself to sleep
Not thinking about you
Not thinking about anything at all

I don't care who you've been dining with these days
It's more than fair
Much rather be drinking anyways
With my friend Peter
Who lives so fucking far away
Yet not as far as you
Even though you live right down my fucking street

And I'm tired of sleeping with myself
I'm tired, all these drinks and drugs no longer help
I'm tired of lying about not thinking of you
Maybe my friend Peter can tell me what to do

I dont care who you've been kissing on these days
It's out of my hands
and in my mouth with such a pleasant taste
I need a beer to wash it all away without a trace
And then i'll drink 23 more
To wipe this stupid smile off my fucking face

I'm tired of sleeping with myself
I'm tired, all those drinks and drugs no longer help
I'm tired of lying about not thinking of you
Maybe my friend Peter can tell me what to do

Exploding Boy lyrics - alkaline trio

[The Cure cover]

I couldn't hear a word you said.
I couldn't hear at all.
You talked until your tongue fell out.
And then you talked some more.
I knew if I turned...
I knew if I turned, I'd turn away from you.
I couldn't look back.
I couldn't look back.
Tell yourself we'll start again.
Tell yourself it's not the end.
Tell yourself, it couldn't happen...
Not this way.
Not too late.
Not too late.
I couldn't hear a word you said.
I couldn't hear at all.
You talked until your tongue fell out.
And then you talked some more.
I knew if I turned...
I knew if I turned, I'd turn away from you.
I couldn't look back.
I couldn't look back.
Tell yourself we'll start again.
Tell yourself it's not the end.
Tell yourself, it couldn't happen...
Not this way.
Not too late.
Not too late.
Not too late.
Not too late.

Sun Dials lyrics - alkaline trio

You were like a toilet bowl at the end of the rainbow
Something like a pot of gold stuck under my pillow
Keeping me up at night you kept my head spinning
And wishing there were windows to throw you from
Throw you from
Day or night
Fuck if I know
Hard to tell with no fucking window
And sundials
What good are sundials once the sun is gone?
What are you good for?

And we laid in my bed like a train wreck
And we both got laid like concrete
And we fought like soldiers
But we died.. we died like flies
Day or night
Fuck if I know
Hard to tell with no fucking window
And sundials
What good are sundials once the sun is gone?
What are you good for?

97 lyrics - alkaline trio

I've got it now, a thorn in my side the size of a Cadillac.
Drive it through, cause backin' up now would be next to impossible.
I had it all.
When I was with you I forgot about everything.
Eighteen months, eighteen months seems like fucking eternity...
but you'll be there, to dry my eyes when I breathe you in.
in ninety seven... in ninety seven.
I've got it now, like a thorn in my side the size of a Cadillac.
Drive it through, cause backin' up now would be next to impossible.
I had it all. When I was with you I forgot about everything.
Eighteen months... I won't breathe for eighteen months.
I don't deserve this,
I don't deserve this,
I don't deserve this.
No, I don't deserve this.
I don't deserve this.
No, I don't deserve this.
I don't deserve this.
No, I don't deserve this.
No, I don't deserve this.
No, I don't deserve this, no.

"Maybe I'll Catch Fire" (2000)



You've Got So Far To Go lyrics - alkaline trio

Soon ends our stay here and it's been fun.
So tonight I'll raise my glass to us.
'Cause we've talked so much I think we filled this ashtray twice,
And I'm pretty sure we emptied every bottle in the place...

So let's walk home, let's be afraid.
I wanna grab you by the arms and kiss you so hard.
Let's do it right, under the streetlight.
I want it now, somehow I forgot how.

Way to go, way to go.
Forgot you've got so far to go.
Way to go, way to go.
Forgot you've got so far to go.

I heard everybody's voice cut out when you spoke.
And I watched all the lights go dim when your eyes opened.
Well I can't believe you showed up,
What do I do now?
It's last call, time to go.
But before we say goodnight...

Let's walk home, let's be afraid.
I wanna grab you by the arms and kiss you so hard.
Let's do it right under the streetlight.
I want it now, somehow I forgot how.

Way to go, way to go.
Forgot you've got so far to go.
Way to go, way to go.
Forgot you've got so far to go.
Forgot you've got so far, you've got so far to go.
Forgot you've got so far, you've got so far to go.
Forgot you've got so far, you've got so far to go.
Forgot you've got so far, you've got so far to go.

Radio lyrics - alkaline trio

Shaking like a dog shittin' razorblades,
waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me
I'm waking up all alone, waking up so relieved
while you're taking your time with apologies,
I'm making my plans for revenge
Red eyes on orange horizons
If Columbus was wrong I'd drive straight off the edge
I'd drive straight off the edge

Taking your own life with boredom,
I'm taking my own life with wine -
it helps you to rule out the sorrow,
it helps me to empty my mind
Making the most of a bad time
I'm smoking the brains from my head
Leaving the coal calling the kettle black and orange and red
This kettle is seeing red

I've got a big fat fuckin' bone to pick with you my darling
In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying
I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you,
plugged in and ready to fall

Shaking like a dog shittin' razorblades,
waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me
I'm waking up all alone, waking up so relieved
while you're taking your time with apologies,
I'm planning out my revenge
Red eyes on orange horizons
If Columbus was wrong I'd drive straight off the edge
I'm seeing red

I've got a big fat fuckin' bone to pick with you my darling
In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying
I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you,
plugged in and ready to fall

Plugged in and ready to fall
Plugged in and ready to fall

Plugged in and ready to fall

Keep 'Em Coming lyrics - alkaline trio

14 hours ahead, a head that's heavier than lead. and I've got toothpicks in my eyes. a smile more yellow than the sky. I've got a song stuck in my head, one that I miss more than my bed. It's a song sung from a fallen milkman who's drinking bleach instead. I'm much like him. 14 hours unfed, I spent the last cents in my head. They're worth much less than pennies now. Food for one thought shared with a crowd. and I've got a painting in my head, a deeper blue bled thicker red. More red than Bloody Mary's coast to coast. I hate flying I said, that's what I said. Sad, sorry excuse. Just like everything that made her smile and everything I use. I won't go back to the way it was. I'm now huffing gas and sniffing paint to take away this buzz that I call you. 14 hours ahead, a head that's heavier than lead. Toothpicks pry open eyes. a smile more yellow than the sky. I've got a song stuck in my head, one that I miss more than my bed. It's a song sung from a fallen milkman who's drinking bleach instead. I'm much like him. 14 hours unfed, I spent the last cents in my head. They're worth much less than pennies now. Food for one thought shared with a crowd. I've got a painting in my head, a deeper blue bled thicker red. More red than Bloody Mary's coast to coast. I hate flying I said, that's what I said. Sad, sorry excuse. Just like everything that made her smile and everything I use. I won't go back to the way it was. cause I'm now huffing gas and sniffing paint to take away this buzz that I call you.

Madam Me lyrics - alkaline trio

The sunrise fills your eyes.
Cannot hear your cries.
Pleading, please just go away.
I can't take another day of this.
No surprise.
A surplus of lies.
Freed from the skies.
Is there something that I missed?
Can't even take another day of this.
Lower than piss.
Have you ever felt like this?
She can't recall the last time she avoided it. Lower than piss.
Have you ever felt like this?
Judging by your eyes, like crystal balls.
Madam Me is predicting that your answer will be yes.
The sunrise.
Burned out your eyes.
Failed to apologize.
As it was eating at your face.
Took your smile away without a trace of it.
Warmer than piss.
Have you ever felt like this?
It just might take a fever to encounter it.
Knee deep in shit.
There's no avoiding it.
From your knees, you're coated brown, to your toes. There is no sound like this.
And I will keep you warm in hell.
And I will keep you warm in hell.
And I will keep you warm in hell.
Way down in hell.

Fuck You Aurora lyrics - alkaline trio

My, my what a mess we've made
Of our pretty little heads these days.
It appears a heavy wind's blown through here recently.
Best wishes have been made for you.

You never had no say it's true.
You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen.
And all your lonely nights
In the city of lights are much like
All these crowded bars I so often find my stupid self-stumbling through.

My, my what a mess was made of my head
When I heard what you'd been through that day.
It appears a violent storm's passed through you recently.

Letters meant to be sent have been torn.
The phone lies off the hook, on the floor.
All these "I'm sorry"s and "I miss you"s are useless.
I fucked this one up long ago.

And all your lonely nights
In the city of lights are much like
All these crowded bars I so often find my stupid self-stumbling through.
Fuck you Aurora, you took my only friend.

And although it's all my fault,
The blaming myself had to come to an end. So I say:
Fuck you Aurora, you took my only friend.
You won't catch me behind the wheel
Of a Chrysler ever again.

My, my what a mess we've made
Of our precious little lives these days.
It appears a big fucking tornado has twisted us up recently.
Best wishes have been made for you.

You never had no say it's true.
You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen.
And all your lonely nights in the city of lights are much like
All these crowded bars I so often find my stupid self-stumbling through.

Fuck you Aurora, you took my only friend.
And although it's all my fault,
The blaming myself had to come to an end. So I say:
Fuck you Aurora, you took my only friend.
You won't catch me behind the wheel
Of a Chrysler ever again.

Sleepyhead lyrics - alkaline trio

all you've been asking for has been placed in front of you. the headaches, the shaking, the boredom the boardroom brings. you're scratching at itching, brought by the spiders beneath your skin. the answer in question is over before it begins. hey there sleepy smile, i see you've brought your bedroom eyes. not assuming you wanna keep 'em. i'm assuming you reckon you won't. all you've been asking for has been placed in front of you. the headaches, the shaking, the boredom the boardroom brings. you're scratching at itching, brought by the spiders beneath your skin. the answer in question is over before it begins. hey there sleepy smile, i see you've brought your bedroom eyes. not assuming you wanna keep 'em. i'm assuming you reckon you won't. nothing to see here but the rain. there's nothing to hold you but the flames. nothing to see here but the rain. there's nothing to hold you but the flames. nothing to see here but the rain. there's nothing to hold you but the flames. nothing to see here but the rain. it's raining flames. earth to sleepy smile. where'd you take those bedroom eyes? not assuming you wanna keep 'em. i'm assuming you reckon you won't.

Maybe I'll Catch Fire lyrics - alkaline trio

this house is full of ears, but i can't talk to anyone. they've heard this one a thousand times. most exciting thing i do, hang half way out a third floor window, maybe throw lit cigarettes down. and maybe i'll catch fire. something warm to hold me, something pure to burn away the darkness that hides inside my mind. all that evil shit's not hard to find. i guess i only claim to be nice. this house is full of eyes, but i can't look at anyone. they've seen this face a thousand times. most relaxing thing i do, hang half way out a third floor window, and look at rocks if i fall out. and maybe i'll fall hard. something tough to break me, something sharp to rip into my insides and bleed out all that pain. sorry i don't even know your name. i guess for me it's easy this way. maybe i'll catch fire. something warm to hold me, something pure to burn away the darkness that hides inside my mind. all that evil shit's not hard to find. i guess i only claim to be nice.

Tuck Me In lyrics - alkaline trio

tuck me into where it's freezing, tuck me into bed with snakes. tuck me in with the tarantulas, i wanna let 'em in my mouth and down my throat to lay their eggs. tuck me into where there's bleeding, where it spills out of the walls onto the floor. tuck me into where your best friend's apologies amount to shit, they always did, for ever more. i pour out onto the floor like liquid white from fallen glass, nothing to cry over. my skin went sour long ago. it knew it had nowhere else to go. tuck me into where I'm falling, where i can feel the heat rise underneath my wings. and all the fallen angels in hell will tuck me away from you. take me away from everything. tuck me into where there's dying, tuck me in with flames and tuck me in with flies. maybe then you will appreciate your only friend with maggots in her eyes, or as ashes in the sky. i pour out onto the floor like liquid white from fallen glass, nothing to cry over. my skin went sour long ago. it knew it had no place left to go. i pour out onto the floor like liquid white from fallen glass, nothing to cry over. my skin went sour long ago. it knew it had no place left to go.

She Took Him To The Lake lyrics - alkaline trio

do you remember the story of the boy and his first date? she took him to the lake and he fell in love. she spent one summer waking up between his arms. she told him how good that felt, told him he was the one. and then she went away, his calls were not returned. he went to see her, but her eyes were burning a different stare. the focus was somewhere else. and that feeling had somehow disappeared. do you remember when they both drove out of state? stealing kisses behind her cousins back. with a love so strong tell me who could wait? when it seems so right and it feels so right. man, it had to be right. when it seems so right and it feels so right. man, it had to be right. gotta be right. when it seems so right and it feels so right. man, it had to be right. when it seems so right and it feels so right. man, it had to be right. but then she went away and she's not coming back. and i'm pretty sure that boy is staying in tonight.

5-3-10-4 lyrics - alkaline trio

schoolyard freaks are freezing, down getting teased again. i'm looking back and down and watching it go by. down at the stockyards cattle screaming, the trains squeak by again. i can feel my breath and i'm so thankful i'm not one of them. the sound of the ground freezing is pounding once again. it comes with the wind that once wiped off our smiles. alarm clock bells are screaming out the same routine again. scrape open your eyes, rise and fucking shine, 7 a.m. sit down, dead weight, and wonder. unsure, unslept, uncovered. the new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes, through 5-3 eyes. schoolyard freaks are freezing, pushed to the ground again. i'm looking up and west for black to fill the sky. the sound of bottles breaking, still breaking in my ears. they opened just in time to empty out and gouge away the years. sit down, dead weight, and wonder. unsure, unslept, uncovered. the new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes, through 5-3 eyes. schoolyard freaks are bleeding, down getting kicked again. i can taste the earth and feel it in my eyes. the sound of cattle screaming, still screaming in my ears. they came in metal coffins, chained me up and hacked me off my years. sit down, dead weight, and wonder. unsure, unslept, uncovered. the new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes, through 5-3 eyes.

Goodbye Forever lyrics - alkaline trio

Take your wings outside, you can't fly in here
Besides, a purple sky is better soaring for you my angel
You're angel, you little devil
As for me I'll stay inside
I'll be just fine and I'll watch from the window.

Cannot categorize the nature of this sickness
a miracle that you're alive-
Stuck to the roof of my mouth with a staple.
Remember last april when we saw u.s. maple?
Somehow the singer showed the fireside exactly how i feel.

And we say goodbye, and go underground
Or up towards the sky, up in smoke, burnt down to size.
At least we're still friends.
At least we're still alive.

Take your wings outside,
No use for them in here.
Bad luck to open inside, work like umbrellas, like a broken mirror.
It's getting clearer-
The end is closer than ever before and you'll want nothing more
Then your head hits the floor, and you're lost in the darkness.

And we say goodbye and go underground.
Or up towards the sky,
Up in smoke, burnt down to size.
At least we're still friends.
At least we're still alive.

And we say goodbye and go underground.
Or up towards the sky,
Up in smoke, burnt down to size.
At least we're still friends.
At least we're still alive.

This Is Getting Over You lyrics - alkaline trio

Today I woke up,
Younger than I've been in years.
Not concerned with what's outside
And peers, I don't have any.
No one is my equal because I'm the king of rain.
Controlling with my moodswings,
Throw a thunderstorm your way, way.
Drowning girls is a game I play.

Today I woke up,
More awake than I have felt in years.
Not concerned with anything, no tears.
Well I'm done with that shit.
No one is your equal because you're the queen of pain.
Controlling with my mood temps,
Staring at my shoes while running away, way.
Drowning myself is a game I play.
Drown myself away,
Drown myself away, away.
Goodbye.
This is getting over you.
This is getting over you.
This is getting over you.
This is getting over you.
This is getting over you (I'm not tired of getting over you).
This is getting over you (I'm not tired of getting over you).
Getting over you (I'm not tired of getting over you).
This is getting over you (I'm not tired of getting over you).
This is getting over you (I'm not tired of getting over you).
Getting over you (I'm not tired of getting over you).
This is getting over you (I'm not tired of getting over you).
This is getting over you.

Bleeder lyrics - alkaline trio

you came to me like a dream, the kind that always leaves.
Just as the best part starts, it ends so abruptly.
And leaves you stunned and naked in your bedroom all alone.
It’s kinda funny how something so soothing gets interrupted by the ring of a telephone.
And you broke me like the cigarette that I busted on the day I quit.
But now that I've been drinking, I'm outta smokes and I wish that I had it.
Woke up to my daily headache and the realization that you are gone.
Oh my sweet darling happiness you've been away from me all along.
One thing that I've never said, I'm truly happy in my heart and in my head.
A lonely liver suspended in liquid.
You came to me like a dream, the kind that always leaves.
Just as the best part starts, it ends so abruptly.
And leaves you stunned and naked in your bedroom all alone.
It’s kinda funny how something so soothing gets interrupted by the ring of a telephone.
One thing that I've never said, I'm truly happy in my heart and in my head.
A lonely liver suspended in liquid.
Its one thing that I never did was smile.
Missing a case, lacking a lid.
My heart bleeds for what you never did...
You never did.
For what you never did...
Never did.
For what you never did...
Never did...
Never did...
Never did...
You never did...
You never did...
It’s one thing that I've never said, I'm truly happy in my heart and in my head.
A lonely liver suspended in liquid.
Its one thing that I never did was smile.
Missing a case, lacking a lid.
My heart bled for what you never did until now.

I Lied My Face Off lyrics - alkaline trio

well, it's not fair, it's not even close. you tied me down, where i'm forced to watch as you poke holes in every part of me containing something secretly. something sacred to me. i lied my face off when i said that i would be okay. it's never fine when you go away. these cuts run deep. these scars are permanent and always on display. this makes things difficult for me. it's not fair, it's not even close. you fed me the sun. burned me up inside and watched me choke on everything we did. on everything we lived. let's see if i can live again. i lied my face off when i said that i would be okay. it's never fine when you go away. these cuts run deep. these scars are permanent and always on display. this makes things difficult for me. head like an empty, sterile room. somehow i made a mess. like watching newborn babies crack from work related stress. head like an empty sterile room. somehow i made a mess. like watching newborn babies crack from work related stress. i'm bad luck, can't fuck. got no reflection today. maybe i'll stay down next time i get hit by a train. by a train. i lied my face off when i said that i would be okay. it's never fine when you go away.

"Goddamnit" (1998)



Cringe lyrics - alkaline trio

wide eyed. knee deep in surprise. just below your thighs the temperature drops 5 degrees. your stand-by flight has just arrived. tongue-tied, bleeding from your eyes. even Christ himself would cringe at the sight of your scars. while you're counting sheep, i'll count my lucky stars. you were the last good thing i ever saw. i lost it all. i lost it all. burned out on 2 hours of shut-eye. eyes glazed at the thought of the next 8 hours. headwind, cold rain to wake me. you were the last good thing i ever saw.

Cop lyrics - alkaline trio

Wonder what it was that made you this way.
Maybe as a baby you dropped your rattle
And it still rattles you to this day.
You better practice your evil looks in the mirror,
They won't work on me.
Slowly crawling up from the down low.
The other cops still call you "fatso."
Short fuse and a top to blow.
Unhappy wife, shitty life, hit the bottle.
Your whole world dropped from under you.
Left you with sorry excuses, left you with meaningless things to prove.
Like why you became a cop, why did you become a cop?
Wonder what it was that made you this way.
Maybe as a kid your toys were taken away.
And it still toys with you to this day.
You better practice your evil looks in the mirror,
They won't work on me
Slowly crawling up from the down low.
The other cops still call you "fatso."
Short fuse and a top to blow.
Unhappy wife, shitty life, hit the bottle.
Your whole world dropped from under you.
Left you with sorry excuses, left you with meaningless things to prove.
Like why you became a cop, why did you become a cop?
Shut the fuck up.
After my court date, I'll forget about you.
I'll tell my cellmates, I'll forget about you.
After the jailbreak, I'll forget about you.
After I'm through singing this song, I'll forget about you.
I'll forget about you!

San Francisco lyrics - alkaline trio

Choking On The Thought Of Leave
Drinking To Keep From Sobbing 4 PM
4 Dollar Pints At SFO The Time And Price

With All My Happiness Aborted
The PA Painfully Starts Boarding
I Sink Deep 30,000 Feet Into My Window Seat..Electric Chair

And I Was Drinking You Goodbye
My Heart Floats In The Bay
From Sour Home Chicago And Your Being Far Away
There's No Telling What I'll Do If I Don't Return To You..

Hopeful Thoughts Of Soon Returning
Cant Put Out My Stomachs Burning
Plastic Wings And Plastic Smiles
And Salted Peanuts To Stretch My Mile

Choking On The Thought Of Leaving
Drinking To Keep From Heaving, 5 PM
5 Dollar Pints, Hellbound Airlines, Time And Price

And I Was Drinking You Goodbye
My Heart Floats In The Bay
From Sour Home Chicago And Your Being Far Away
There's No Telling What I'll Do If I Don't Return To You..

Nose Over Tail lyrics - alkaline trio

Crack my head open on your kitchen floor
To prove to you that I have brains
Meanwhile tin men are led by little girls
Down golden roads that lead to nowhere

Fine time to fake a seizure
Feel your mouth on mine, you're saving me

Whatever happened to that silly dream you had?
I want to make it real
I'd love to rub your back
Like a plane crash that never hits the ground
I fall in love with you
I'm nose over tail for you
Your voice like the sound of sirens to a house on fire
You're saving me

As You Were lyrics - alkaline trio

stale as a 2 day half full beer. cigarette boats float around in here. a field in my gut lacking sunshine. put down like a teenagers first drink. i cough up compliments. i think you're better off walking away while you still can. she was passing through to climb a hill. as you slipped and slid on my gut spill. my better half was praying for you to fall. rotten like a 3 week half full glass of breast milk. drunken off my ass. i would give anything to erase the past nine years of my life. put down like a prostitute in court. all liberty soon to abort like my sanity, like thoughts of you. she was passing through to climb a hill. as you slipped and slid on my gut spill. my better half was praying for you to fall. praying for you to fall. so pitiful. praying for you to fall. i'm fuckin' pitiful. praying for you to fall. so pitiful. praying for you to fall. so fuckin' pitiful.

Enjoy Your Day lyrics - alkaline trio

so where'd you go? how was your vacation home? well obviously you were busy, too busy for me. so this is how you leave me? i'm broken hearted on the floor. my tears seep through the crack under my door. where i am locked in, shut down. i'm so tired of picking myself up off the ground. so happy valentine's day. i hope the sun's out in new york. i hope he bought you roses. i hope he bought you roses. so happy valentine's day. i hope the sun's out in new york. i hope he bought you roses. i hope he bought you roses.

Clavicle lyrics - alkaline trio

i've been on top of the world since about six months ago, marking the first time i laid eyes on you. i lost all train of thought as i entered the room. i saw what looked like really good food, then i saw you and so did you. i wanna wake up naked next to you, kissing the curve in your clavicle. kissing your clavicle. i've been on top of the world since about 1 week ago, marking a time when i was drunk enough to talk to you. i lost all train of thought as your eyes met mine. told you i thought you were gorgeous. you gave me your phone number, i gave you mine. before you left i said that you can bet i'll be bothering you soon. you said, "no bother, please do." i've called you twice. it's been a hellish fight to not think about you all the time. sitting around waiting for your call. i wanna wake up naked next to you, kissing the curve in your clavicle. kissing your clavicle. i wanna wake up naked next to you, kissing the curve in your clavicle.

My Little Needle lyrics - alkaline trio

i'll come down to get you high. or maybe sing you a lullaby. sing you to sleep, a sleep you'll never wake from. sing you to coma so to speak. and when i fall down, i'll fall apart. trade in my bike for a shopping cart. and beg change from a world that needs some, like i need someone. so where are you my little needle? the stack's been burned away, but i'm so inebriated that i cannot see three feet in front of me. between the moon and you, lunacy is setting in. lately i've been feeling dead inside, like my guts have dried up and died. but every night i water them back to life, yeah every night i water them back to life. and when i fall down, i'll fall apart. trade in my bike for a shopping cart. and beg change from a world that needs some. i'm tired of sleeping alone. so where are you my little needle? the stack's been burned away, but i'm so inebriated that i cannot see three feet in front of me. between the moon and you, lunacy is setting in.

Message From Kathlene lyrics - alkaline trio

i guess i'll always stop and see you, and we'll run into each other's lives. yeah, i guess. although it tears me up inside. everytime it burns my eyes with tears. but i know you're worth the pain. i've so much more to gain by waiting for you. you're going away, but you're not going far. so if he decides to leave you alone and crying. you know i'm still here, the faithful one. waiting for a message from kathlene. then i'll come... faster... than i ever thought that i could run... cause i... i need you more than i ever thought that i could need someone, yeah... someone, someone else. that i could need someone else... someone else. i know i will always stop and see you and we'll run into each other's fucked up lives. yeah, i guess. although it tears me up inside. everytime it burns my eyes with tears. but your waking up is the start of my lost cause. and then you decide to leave me alone and crying. but you know i'm still here, the faithful one. waiting for a message from kathlene then i'll come... faster... than i ever thought that i could run... cause i... i need you more than i ever thought that i could need someone, yeah... someone, someone else. that i could need someone else... someone else.

Trouble Breathing lyrics - alkaline trio

You told me that you want to die.
I said I've been there myself more than a few times.
And I go back every once in a while.
You called me lucky, you...
You called me lucky.

You said tonight is a wonderful night to die.
I asked you could tell, you told me to look at the sky.
Look at all those stars, look at how goddamn ugly the stars are.

It's one or another.
Between a rope and a bottle.
I can tell you're having trouble breathing,
'Cause you'll never be o.k. (you'll never be o.k.)
You'll always be in pain.
You'll always feel this way.
'Cause things they never work out right (the wrong way, the lonely way).
You'll always be in pain.

You told me that the daylight burns you
And that the sunrise was enough to kill you.
I said maybe you're a vampire.
You said it's quite possible, I feel truly dead inside.

It's one or another.
Between a rope and a bottle.
I can tell you're having trouble breathing,
'Cause you'll never be o.k. (you'll never be o.k.)
You'll always be in pain.
You'll always feel this way.
Cause things they never work out right (the wrong way, the lonely way).
You'll always be in pain.

Don't forget to let your life rot you inside out.
Don't forget to let your life rot you inside out.
Don't forget to let your life rot you inside out.

Sorry About That lyrics - alkaline trio

it hasn't been that long since we drank to the sunset, until it was gone. and down with it went our pain and fear, as we slowly broke contact more and more, with every beer. and we passed out in each other's arms, both admitting we'd never felt better. never felt so warm. but awoke in each other's eyes, without wearing a stitch of clothing. we were both deeply in disguise. and maybe i just set aside the fact that you were broken hearted. in my own special selfish way. and if i hadn't set aside the fact that you were broken hearted. hell knows where your heart would be today. maybe with me. it seems like it's been so long since we kissed through the darkness, until it was dawn. up with it came our pain and fear that we'd already lost each other. we both knew that the end was near. maybe i just set aside the fact that you were broken hearted. in my own special selfish way. and if i hadn't set aside the fact that you were broken hearted. hell knows where your heart would be today. maybe with me. maybe with me. maybe with me. maybe with me. maybe with me. maybe with me. maybe with me.

Snake Oil Tanker lyrics - alkaline trio

This time you've dug yourself an anchor
too heavy to move ahead with
Resembling a faker, charming snake oil tankers
Don't let them strike you down
I know that you wish I was dead
I know 'cause you told me last weekend
And Christmas has never felt colder
I've never felt colder
This time you've dug yourself an anchor
too heavy to move ahead with
Resembling a faker, charming snake oil tankers
Don't let them strike you down
I know that you wish I was dead
I know 'cause you told me last weekend
And Christmas has never felt colder
I haven't felt colder since

Southern Rock lyrics - alkaline trio

I can't believe my heart's still pounding
I can't believe how close I came
And meanwhile heaven's falling
The fallen angels flown away
And that'll be me someday
With stolen wings and evil ways
Straight south with the keys to the pearly gates

Hard to believe my heart stopped pounding
Hard to believe I played this game
My worst nightmares became real
I got so scared that I forgot my name
And that'll be me someday
With stolen wings and evil ways
Straight south with the keys to the pearly gates

Cooking Wine lyrics - alkaline trio

sorry i'm late. i was out spoiling my liver. i couldn't wait... the sun was up for far too long today. and i can't see straight, but the two of you look awfully pretty. and i couldn't wait... been awake for far too long today. and is it strong enough to burn away the cooking wine? and i'm just tired enough, if i closed my eyes i'll sleep for days, i'll sleep for days... sorry i'm late. i was out spoiling my liver. i couldn't wait... the sun was up for far too long today. and i can't see straight, but the two of you look awfully pretty... you're fucking beautiful. and is it strong enough to burn away the cooking wine? and i'm just tired enough, if i close my eyes i'll sleep for days, i'll sleep for days...

For Your Lungs Only lyrics - alkaline trio

a right turn gone wrong. nothing left but the dust, left to fill your lungs up. have to choke, and choke, and choke. repercussion, what got us this form. facilitation for feeling listless. repercussion, what got us this form. facilitation for feeling listless. the son sits out in the sun, and that's when he calls 'father'. he realized a long time ago, he's never coming home, no. repercussion, what got us this form. facilitation for feeling listless. repercussion, what got us this form. facilitation for feeling listless.

Bye Bye Love lyrics - alkaline trio

[Originally by The Cars]

I can't feel this way much longer
Expecting to survive
With all these hidden innuendoes
Just waiting to arrive
It's such a wavy midnight
When you slip into insane
Electric angel rock and roller
I hear what you're playing
It's an orangey sky
Always it's some other guy
It's just a broken lullaby
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
Substitution mass confusion
Clouds inside my head
Were fogging all my energies
Until you visited
Eyes of porcelain and blue
Could shock me into sense
You think you're so illustrious
You call yourself intense
It's an orangey sky
Always it's some other guy
It's just a broken lullaby
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
Bye bye love

Children In Heat lyrics - alkaline trio

Children in Heat
They have no conscience
No resistance
You gotta see this big reaction
No resistance

Cellophane sex, a new way of life
With your heart in your throat
and the other alive
You've been pissin', pissin blood
pissin blood for seven days

No resistance
No resistance
No resistance

Children in heat
You can't control them
Why I'm running away and away
They're always gonna run away

Children in heat
You can't control them
Why I'm running away

Children in heat
Are young little kindle wood
I see them burning
They all changed their names to Chicago

No resistance
No resistance
No resistance

Children in heat
You can't control them
Why I'm running away

Children in heat
You can't control them
Why I'm running away

Children in heat
You can't control them
Why I'm running away and away
They're always gonna run away

Children in heat
You can't control them
Why I'm running away

Dead End Road lyrics - alkaline trio

I thought that you were joking
When you said you couldn't breathe
You said you couldn't breathe
Turns out that you were choking
On a town you couldn't leave
You knew you'd never leave
It met your disapproval at the age of 8 years old
You were only 8 years old
From then on there was no removal
From that one way dead end road
That one way dead end road

I thought that you were laughing
When you cried your eyeballs out
You cried your eyeballs out
And i don't mean to be prying
But what were you so sad about
What are you still sad about
Met your disappointment at the age of 9 years old
You were only 9 years old
From then on there would be no ointment
To take away these burns
To make that pain grow dull and forever ain't that long
When your smile's stuck in your head like a pop song
All you think about is death
Your dirty head has gone unswept for way too long now
For way too long now

I thought that you were sleeping
When i found you there in bed
I found you there in bed
When i touched you you were freezing
It turned out that you were dead
It turned out that you were dead
It met your disapproval at the age of 8 years old
You were only 8 years old
From then on there was no removal
From your fucked up head and your broken home and forever ain't that long
When your smile's stuck in your head like a pop song
All you think about is death
Your dirty head has gone unswept for way too long now
For way too long now
For way too long now
For way too long now

Halloween lyrics - alkaline trio

[Originally by The Misfits]

Bonfires burning bright,
Pumpkin faces in the night,
I remember halloween.
Dead cats hanging from poles,
Little dead are out in droves,
I remember halloween brown leaved vertigo,
Where skeletal life is known,
I remember halloween this day anything goes.
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember halloween,
Halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween.
Candy apples and razorblades,
Little dead are soon in graves,
I remember halloween this day anything goes,
Burning bodies hanging from poles,
I remember halloween, halloween, halloween,
halloween halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween.

Heaven lyrics - alkaline trio

[Originally by The Psychedelic Furs]

[chorus]
heaven is the whole of the heart
and heaven don't tear us apart
yeah heaven is the whole of the heart
and heaven don't tear you apart

there's too many kings
wanna hold you down
and a world at the window gone underground
there's a hole in the sky
where the sun don't shine
and clock on the wall
it counts my time

[chorus]

there's a song on the air
with a love you line
and a face in the glass
and it looks like mine
and i'm standing on ice when i say
that i don't hear planes
and i scream at the fools
wanna jump my train

[chorus]

Jaked On Green Beers lyrics - alkaline trio

It's been a long time since I've been close to you
It's been a long time since I've been sad.
It's been a while since I've really spent time with you
Wish I could take back the times that I had.
The only thing that you ever really did for me
Was make me oh so miserable.
And the hope that I never see your face again
Is anything but questionable.

I hope this is goodbye.
I hope this is goodbye.

There was a time when I thought you were a friend to me
I think those times I was probably just drunk.
And if they offered a test about being a good friend
I'd put money down that you'd surely flunk.
The only thing that you ever really took from me
Were my records to sell them for dope.
Now all I have left is this heart in my chest
And my happiness helping me cope

I hope this is goodbye [x4]

It's been a long time since I've been close to you.
It's been a long time since I've been sad.
It's been a while since I've really spent time with you.
Wish I could take back the times that I had.
The only thing that you ever really did for me
Was make me oh so miserable.
And the hope that I never see your face again
Is anything but questionable.
There was a time that I thought you were a friend to me
I think those times I was probably just drunk.
And if they offered a test about being a good friend
I'd put money down that you'd surely flunk.
The only thing that you ever really took from me were my records to
Hawk them for dope.
Now all I have left is this heart in my chest,
Your dishonesty helping me cope.

I hope this is goodbye.
I hope this is goodbye....

My Standard Break From Life lyrics - alkaline trio

I've got a regular problem
So my standard break from life is in order
I'm having trouble making sentences
I'm older but I don't feel any smarter
You see I don't know what I said to you
And now you're pissed at you know who
And I guess I deserve it
I wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time
I try to leave a good impression
But it's hard when my obsession's in a wine glass
And when you're only 23
It's not attractive to complain about your sore back
Yes I can bitch until my eyes are blue
And you're in bed with someone new
And I guess you deserve him
Wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time
You say I'm fixable
A classic case, lack of will
I say I don't wanna try
I'd rather stay here all night

I've got a motivation problem
So my standard break from life is getting longer
Spent over 30 hours in this bed
In two days, I guess I could've phoned her
But now that I'm awake
I'd rather take a drink
And walk down to the lake
And beg the sky for lightning bolts
I can't waste my time without wasting all your time
You say it's fixable
A classic case, lack of will
I say I don't wanna try
I'd rather sit here all night

Old School Reasons lyrics - alkaline trio

I got these thoughts in my head
dirty as fuck and never leaving
and then best left unsaid
all the drinks under breath

got some shit off my chest
put on my back next to the monkey nest
that somebody left
with me the day I was born

I got a hole in my head
the size of lake fuckin' michigan
my pipes lined in lead
got old school reasons to die

all my money's been spent
on a face lift via alochol
this sinner repents
to an empty bathroom reflection

please take these two words
and do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, drove me mad
just your time, just my fucking life

I got a bottle in hand
straight to the ground with all my memories
It's best left unsaid
when they've all been left behind

all my money's been spent
on a DIY lobotomy
this sinner repents
to a lake and bathroom mirror

please take these two words
and do with them what you would like
it's a dream I had, drove me mad
just your time, just my fucking life

so take these two words
and do with them what you would like
it's a dream you had, drove me mad
just your time, just my fucking life

and that's my life
over and over again
just my fucking life

it might seem meaningless to you
but it means everything to me
and I'm fucked without you

please take these words
and do with them what you would like
it's a dream I had, drove me mad
just your time, just my fucking life

and that's my life
over and over again
just my fucking life

Over At The Frankenstein Place lyrics - alkaline trio

[Cover]

In the velvet darkness
Of the blackest night, burning bright
There's a guiding star
No matter what or who you are

There's a light
Over at the Frankenstein place
There's a light
Burning in the fireplace
There's a light
In the darkness of everybody's life

The darkness must glow
Down the river of night's dreaming
Flow morphia slow
Let the sun and light
come streaming into my life,
into my life

There's a light
Over at the Frankenstein place
There's a light
Burning in the fireplace
There's a light
In the darkness of everybody's life

The Metro lyrics - alkaline trio

[Originally by Berlin]

I'm alone
Sitting with my empty glass.
My four walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain,
And you were waiting there
Swimming through appologies.

I remember searching for the perfect words.
I was hoping you might change your mind.
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me.
Riding on the Metro.

You wore white,
Smiling as you took my hand.
So removed
We spoke of wintertime in France.
Minutes passed with shallow words.
Years have passed and still the hurt.
I can see you now
Smiling as you pulled away.

I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand.
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes.
I remember a night we walked along the Sein
Riding on the Metro

I remember a feeling coming over me
The soldier turned then looked away
I remember hating you for loving me
Riding on the Metro

Weak Week lyrics - alkaline trio

eleven eleven said the clock as i pulled it around
the foreign days and understanding
a way out would be nice,
i'll have your good advice
went up the block
making the scream 12 after
some days the walls look greener
(cause they can fetch a dime)
hung, unsafe for days you can't be weaker waiting
and even if bugs turn into people who ask
'are you all right?'
say yes and smile
it's now the outcome of every day,
weaker days await.

even if the bugs turn to people who ask
'are you all right?
just say yes and smile
you've found the outcome of every day
weaker days await

some days the wall look greener
(cause they can fetch a dime)
hung, unsafe for days you can't be weaker waiting
even if the bugs turn to people who ask
'are you all right?'
just say yes and smile
you've found the outcome of every day
weaker days await
