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

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

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]

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

Olde English 800 lyrics - Alkaline Trio

O, L, D, E,
E, N, G,
L, I, S, H,
Eight hundred,
Now I feel a whole lot better about myself
O, L, D, E,
E, N, G,
L, I, S, H,
Eight hundred,
Now I feel a whole lot better about myself

You're charcoal filtered,
Sun yellow malt liquor,
You make my grey skies blue
I drink it daily,
As my liver's failing,
But I don't give a fuck,
Olde English I'm in love with you

O, L, D, E,
E, N, G,
L, I, S, H,
Eight hundred,
Now I feel a whole lot better about myself
O, L, D, E,
E, N, G,
L, I, S, H,
Eight hundred,
Now I feel a whole lot better about myself

You're charcoal filtered,
Sun yellow malt liquor,
You make my grey skies blue
I drink it daily,
As my liver's failing,
But I don't give a fuck,
Olde English I'm in love with you,
Olde English I'm in love with you,
Olde English I'm in love with you,
You!

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]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
Anchors aweigh.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Live Young, Die Fast lyrics - alkaline trio

It's not big surprise
We turned out this way
It's in our eyes
Like shallow graves
But we are one with the larva and dirt
We don't discriminate at all
For what it's worth

So live young, die fast
No one will last
So sit back and relax
Enjoy the crash
You're fading to black and you're gone
Live young, die fast
Die fast

Young easy life
And untimely death
This doesn't work at all for me
So save your breath
You took your time
And stashed it away
Deep down inside of a cardboard box
Marked "rainy day"

Live young, die fast
No one will last
So sit back and relax
Enjoy the crash
You're fading to black and it's gone
Live young, die fast

And I feel a miracle
In every breath that I breathe
Won't let this miracle
End in tragedy
I sense a miracle
In all that I see
Won't let this miracle
Slip away from me

Live young, die fast
No one will last
So sit back and relax
Enjoy the crash
You're fading to black and it's gone
Live young, die fast
Live young, die fast
Die fast
Live young, die fast
No one will last
So sit back and relax
Enjoy the crash
You're fading to black and it's gone
Live young, die fast
Die fast

Love Love, Kiss Kiss lyrics - alkaline trio

Take a look, you see I painted you a picture
It's black and white, except the blood's a little richer
Down in the corner where I gave it my signature
Then I titled it, "This one's for the winter"
Check it out you see it's just a big disaster

I'll dedicate it to the fact that it's so hard for you to dream
A million heartbeats all around you make it hard to sleep
It doesn't help you're freezing in your bed, your blankets aren't enough
All you want is someone there, and all you say is, "So what"

Love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah
You're making me sick, I wish you'd just stop showing off
For the rest of us that no one wants to love
It's hard enough trying to drink another winter all alone
Love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah

Well do you find you like to fall in love with people that you're never gonna meet?
It's easier than breaking up and crying in the street
Do you curse the happy couple? Do you cringe at wedding bells?
Do you drink up all the punch while you wish 'em all to hell?

Love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah
You're making me sick, I wish you'd just stop showing off
For the rest of us that no one wants to love
It's hard enough trying to drink another winter all alone
Love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah

You can't escape this fatal case of melancholia
It's in your face, in every place you go... it's stalking you
There are days when we all say we feel we just can't go on
But you've felt this way all along

Love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah
You're making me sick, I wish you'd just stop showing off
For the rest of us that no one wants to love
It's hard enough trying to drink another winter all alone
Love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah

Oh, love love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah
You're making me sick, I wish you'd just stop showing off
For the rest of us that no one wants to love
It's hard enough trying to drink another winter all alone
Love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah

Lost And Rendered lyrics - alkaline trio

Found out the hard way
That you were lost and rendered
All alone in the dark forest of your thoughts
Forever following a trail of fear that seems to lead
To more dead ends and mysteries
I'm losing hope of ever solving

Can anybody hear me?
Is anyone out there?
I'm falling and I'm broken down
I'm dying over here HEY!

If anybody's listening
I hope you hear my cries
My will to live is wearing thin
I'm running out of... Time

Sounding the alarms inside of me
Hoping like hell the sound cuts through the water
And the broken trees and reaches you
Before the creatures of the night
Descend on me no help in sight
Won't be long before we lose daylight

Can anybody hear me?
Is anyone out there?
I'm falling and I'm broken down
I'm dying over here HEY!

If anybody's listening
I hope you hear my cries
My will to live is wearing thin
I'm running out of... Time

Take a deep breath
It could be the cure
It could be your last
Can't know for sure

Is it the hate that they tried to show?
Is it the love that you'll never know?

I guess we'll never know

Can anybody hear me?
Is anyone out there?
I'm falling and I'm broken down
I'm dying over here HEY!

If anybody's listening
I hope you hear my cries
My will to live is wearing thin
I'm running out of... Time

Can anybody hear me?
Can anybody hear me?
Can anybody hear me?
Can anybody hear me?

Ruin It lyrics - alkaline trio

I've waited a long time for this life
Just to ruin it, so please don't ruin this for me
Yes to understand this lie
Hell I crossed those t's
I scratched out all these eyes, myself last night
What I promise not to find

So this is what I'm looking like these days
I'm all grown up, so full of hate
But I don't wanna let go of my age
Cause it's the salt, that brings the taste

So where am I to decide that I'm not right?
Cause I might break and I might bend
Your heart strings out of tune again
And I might try to apologize
On a good day
On my best day
If you stick around

Did I stay inside to sterilize this knife?
Am I being to careful?
Does this seem right?
Did I open up the shades to expose the sunny rays?
To show what burned there inside

Take a close look
Hold me right up to the light
Cause I might break and I might bend
Your heart strings out of tune again
And I might try to apologize
On a good day
On my best day
If you stick around

I've waited for so long
(I've waited for so long)
Spread me out, rake me in
This scorched and rocky field
Will camouflage my skin

And I might break and I might bend
Your heart strings out of tune again
And I might try to apologize
On a good day

On my best day
If you stick around [2x]

Into The Night lyrics - alkaline trio

We'll never know which way this road is gonna turn
and can't be sure how quick your wick is gonna burn
so sing to me your darkest secrets
time to leave behind your regrets
before we get lost in a blink of an eye

This carrion has been forgotten
left for dead in the sun rotting
the answers lie here in this tragedy
it ends when you and me
we're dragged from the light
into the night...

We have been warned which way this storm is gonna blow
But where the rip tide takes us to we'll never know
now you're screaming out for Jesus
send for anyone, please save us
Before we get lost in the blink of an eye

This carrion has been forgotten
left for dead in the sun rotting,
the answers lie here in this tragedy,
it ends with you and me,
we're dragged from the light,
into the night...

So sing to me your darkest secrets
Time to leave behind your regrets
Before we get lost in the blink of an eye

This carrion has been forgotten
left for dead in the sun rotting,
the answer lies here in the mystery,
it starts with you and me
when we're dragged from the light
into the night...

Into the night...
(Whoas)
Into the night...
(Whoas)
Into the night...

In My Stomach lyrics - alkaline trio

In this shadow, I shrink and it knows
I can't move. It is making me cold.
And it grows in my stomach like mold.
It keeps me just sick enough to stay home.

Kill the lights. Curtains cover closed blinds.
Build a wall of stone and steel that will never come down.
Let the dust colonize just like James the first.
There will be no blood this time.
In silence, I'm yours. Twice dead-bolt the doors.

I've been followed by a face marked with pain.
It came close once and he just learned my name.
Every day he grows taller, he looks down at my heart,
and through my throat, he could reach in and pull me apart.

It gets worse when he contacts my eyes.
He can see right through to everything that blackened my veins
and his sounds resonate up and down,
like a march through me, this battlefield,
there's just not much left, so silence the rest.

In this shadow, I shrink and it knows
I can't move, I can't sleep.
Terrified by my own bloodshot eyes.

So, I'll wait here and pray.
I prayed that I was all wrong about prayer.
And I do know that this is truly tired.

It still grows in my stomach like mold.
It keeps me just sick enough to stay home, all alone.

Burned Is The House lyrics - alkaline trio

It's like we both have just arrived here
Like we've just stepped off a plane in a new town
and the sun was out.
I was talking, you would point your ear at me
like I was making some sweet sound
you said, "make it loud"

But we can never come back here again
we can only hope...
to forget.

Walked through a cemetery archway
into a wood that hung so happily alone
but the words were all wrong.
You traded all my ill affections
for directions to a party across town.
You bring the house down.

But we can never go back there again
we can only hope.

So...

Burned is the house.
Gone is the street.
Here is the same disappointing retreat.
And I need it like hell if I'd lie to myself
to think I could live that life over again.
Where the cuts were like guilt
and the taste for your eyes
I say, "we're up when I couldn't just say goodnight"
If you cry me a river you can baptize me in
I say, "I guess that's it, now I've fucking seen everything"

Woah's

You were the first real choice I would make,
but we all make mistakes, so...

Jumped overboard because the water's always greener
when the sun shines on the sea
Would you drown for me?
It's just as deep as you can make it
you tread water when you could stand on your knees
but don't pray to me.
Cause when the lamp ray's taken all it can
it will keep you dead.

But but,

Burned is the house.
Gone is the street.
Here is the same disappointing retreat.
And I need it like hell if I'd lie to myself
to think I could live that life over again.
Where the cuts were like guilt
and the taste for your eyes
I say, "we're up when I couldn't just say goodnight"
If you cry me a river you can baptize me in
I say, "I guess that's it, yeah, I've fucking seen everything now"

Woah's

You were the first real choice I would make,
You were the only one that I would take
Now you'll take til I go.

You were the first real choice I would make,
but we all make mistakes,
so...

Time To Waste lyrics - alkaline trio

There's someone down below blowing you a kiss.
They watch from their windows
as all arms fall to their sides,
and all eyes fix on the death of tomorrow.
And you found everything you need
to make a life complete,
completely revolting and they have safety and relief
For sale down the street.
I see you in line every day

You had time to waste and I'm not sorry,
such a basket case, hide the cutlery.
I had time to kill, it's dead and buried.
You've got guts to spill but no one trustworthy.

These creatures are waking up in these dark trees.
Awaiting like vultures.
Eyes roll back turn white in time to feed
They salivate in hunger.
for you, and everything they need
to make a death complete,
completely unnatural and salvation lies
behind those dead eyes that watch you while you sleep every night, and

You had time to waste and I'm not sorry,
such a basket case, hide the cutlery.
I had time to kill, it's dead and buried.
You've got guts to spill but no one trustworthy.

You had time to waste and I'm not sorry,
such a basket case, hide the cutlery.
I had time to kill, it's dead and buried.
You've got guts to spill but no one trustworthy.

The Poison lyrics - alkaline trio

It's not just the pain, the pain in my back
That laughs in my face, my face every night
Or the poison that took my lungs
That keeps me from feeling warm.

But how could a rooftop view in London
Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?
Nothing has changed but now I fight with words
And I can't see so good.

And there's got to be more, much more than this.
I got pages of dreams, they're covered in piss
And the poison that took my soul,
It keeps me from feeling anything.

And how could a rooftop view in London
Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?
Nothing has changed but now I fight with words
And I can't see so good.
And now I fight with the words,
And now I fight with the words,
Now I fight with the words.

And how could a rooftop view in London
Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?
Nothing has changed but now I fight with the words,
And I can't see so good.
And I can't see so good (I can't see so good).
And I can't see so good (I can't see so good).
And I can't see so good.

Burn lyrics - alkaline trio

There's a lightning storm each and every night
Crashing inside you like motorbikes
We toss and turn, sleep so loud
Grind the teeth in our
Our empty mouths (are empty...)

There's a forest fire burning bright
Spreading quickly towards our last rites
Nowhere to run, pointless to hide
Just lay there and scream, pretending to try
Pretending...

Intending to burn, pretending to fight it
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and you burn

This impending doom is left deep inside
And it's haunting you each and every night
Like starving wolves counting sheep
We close our eyes, pretending to sleep
Descending...

Intending to burn, pretending to fight it
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and...

Like hell we are anxiously waiting
Like hell burning silently strong
Somehow we fell down by the wayside
And somehow this hell is home

As we burn, pretending to fight it
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and...
Like hell we are anxiously waiting
Like hell burning silently strong
Somehow we fell down by the wayside
And somehow this hell is home
Right now, this hell is my home

Mercy Me lyrics - alkaline trio

It's been a long day living with this
It's been a long time since I felt so sick
I took a long walk straight back home
I could've walked back to San Francisco
I used to long for time alone
I used to long for a place of my own
now I'm losing faith in everything
I'm lost, so lost, i'm lost at sea, you'll see

I used to long for broken bones
I used to long for a casket to call my own
I never had a problem facing fear
but I'm done, over and out my dear and

Oh mercy me
God bless catastrophe
There's no way in hell
We'll ever live to see through this so
Drive yourself insane tonight
It's not that far away and I just
filled up your tank earlier today
(Yeah!)

It's been a long day living with this
It's been a long time since I felt so sick
I took a long walk straight back home
I could've walked back to Chicago
I used to long for time alone
I used to long for a place of my own
and I've lost faith in everything
I'm lost, so lost, I'm lost without you

Oh mercy me
God bless catastrophe
There's no way in hell
We'll ever live to see through this so
Drive yourself insane tonight
It's not that far away and I just
filled up your tank earlier today
(Yeah!)

So drive yourself insane tonight
It's not that far away and I just
filled up your tank earlier today
(Yeah!)

Dethbed lyrics - alkaline trio

Calling all cars, all coroners, we've got a dead one here
And anybody else receiving this, the west coast is far from clear
Like a time bomb or sudden death
It's gonna find you when you least expect
It's gonna leave you with the emptiest feeling inside (over analyzed)

They found me face-down in the street on the night you left to find,
Another place to sleep in rain and regret
They said they tried everything but it was no use
Yeah, they tried everything and everyone but you

Falling like stars into the ocean black, we're gonna disappear
And anything left recognizable is rubbed away with fear
We've got our hearts dipped in time release
We've got the know-how and the elbow grease
We've got our victim all cut up down here on the floor (over and out the door)

They found me face down in the street on the night you left to find,
Another place to sleep in rain and regret
They said they tried everything but it was no use
Yeah, they tried everything and everyone but you

...One but you
...One but you

They found me face down in the street on the night you left to find,
Another place to sleep in rain and regret
They said they tried everything but it was no use
Yeah, they tried everything and everyone but you.

Settle For Satin lyrics - alkaline trio

it's not so much a storm,
but just a cloud that lives inside of me
he doesn't stir so easily these days,
but when he wakes he goes the distance
in a marathon of days too long
open containers that sing songs,
"you'll never dream again,
but you can pray"

i guess we only settle in to what we know
i guess we always settle in, and we know.
but there is comfort in a world
where darkness is the only thing we see
and cold is all we have to breathe
where affectations keep us company,
where the lies we tell to the eyes that roll in doubt
are somehow out of our control.

it's not about the scars, but more the crowds that walk all over me
they don't give up too easily these days,
but when they break they go to pieces.
fall apart right here in north side bars
under a sky that knows no stars
you'll never shine again,
but you will stay.

i guess we only settle in to what we know
i guess we always settle in, and we know.
but there is comfort in a world
where darkness is the only thing we see
and cold is all we have to breathe
where affectations keep us company,
where the lies we tell to the eyes that roll in doubt
are somehow out of our control.
we lost control.

Sadie lyrics - alkaline trio

You're on your own my little nightmare you cannot stay here
It's far too bright for you
If they attack you just lay there,
Play dead dear, it's your only hope of pulling through.

And seconds they seem like a lifetime.
A dream, recurring, a dream that can't come true.
And they'll pin it all on you
after all you've been put through.

"Sadie G. she's crazy, see?"
That's what the white coats say.
Now Ms. Susan A., you're losing
every opportunity to put us all away.

Go run along my little nightmare.
Your job is done here.
You've scared them all to death.
If they revive them just sit there.
Just smile dear. Make them thankful for every breath.

The sentence may seem like a lifetime,
a scream, that curdling the blood they found on you.
And your knives and clothing too.
Charlie's broken .22

"Sadie G. she's crazy, see?"
That's what the white coats say.
Now Ms. Susan A., you're losing
every opportunity.

Well they found you and they shipped you up the river the same way that you've bound and gaged.
You've shot and stab.
You tried to set them free, but they've thrown away the keys.

[Spoken:]
"He represented a God to me that was so beautiful that I'd do anything for him.
I'd do anything for God.
Even murder, if I believed it was right.
How could it not be right if it is done with love?
I have no remorse for doing what was right to me.
I have no guilt in me."

Whoa [x4]

Fall Victim lyrics - alkaline trio

Not sure how this is supposed to feel
Cutting like a red hot knife of surgical steel
Brought flesh from the autoclave.
She came, she came with sterile warning
Screaming from her blade, "I want to make you bleed."

I watched them fall in line, as I fell victim
To double suicide on your television
We heard our records backwards too many times
I'm wasting my breath, we're wasting our time
Wasting our time

Down on my knees, but not to pray
Hit so hard across the skull, it buckled my legs
They told me I had hell to pay
I came, I came too close to heaven
Had nothing to say for myself
I had to walk away

I watched them fall in line, as I fell victim
To double suicide on your television
We heard our records backwards too many times
I'm wasting my breath, we're wasting our time
Wasting our time
Time
Wasting our time
Wasting our time

I watched them fall in line, as I fell victim
To double suicide on your television
We heard our records backwards too many times
I'm wasting my breath, we're wasting our...

I Was A Prayer lyrics - alkaline trio

I am waiting 'til there's nothing left
I'm a prayer, all you see is breath
I am empty, I am skin and bones, I'm a ribcage
Well, I'm out the door with apathy
But I'm coming home with sympathy
I am realized, I am shamed, I choose to stay here

You got a sign, so I paid the ransom
You felt sorry, so I felt the wrath come
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm
My arm

There's a song I love so much I stole
Every precious note I took, I sold
Now I spit out words, do you see my lungs on the dance floor?
To a hopeless cause, I sold my soul
A romantic plastic piece of shit you can mold
Until I break into chokable pieces

You got a sign, so I paid the ransom
You felt sorry, so I felt the wrath come
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm
My arm

And I open up like the back of a book
I ruin everything with just a quick look
And I settle down like a rocket explodes
Hit the ground, but how far out who knows

You got a sign, so I paid the ransom
You felt sorry, so I felt the wrath come
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm
My arm

Prevent This Tragedy lyrics - alkaline trio

Here we are again with handguns for hearts
They had a master plan, wanted to tear us apart
Nothing to hold, all hope deleted
Our demise has been completed now
Nowhere left to go but down
The flames of hell they give me hope, I drown
In oceans of this tragic part of town
Where nothing's heard for miles but the sound
Of children wishing they were safely underground
We are the walking dead, we hold this ghost in our arms
We take our daily breath and thank our unlucky stars
Tried to get by on bread and water
Craving blood poured from the alter now
Not much left to do but drown
In flames of miscommunication, down
Then out and off in search of someone proud
To translate what we truly dream about
As we lay in this bed thinking out loud
I'm screaming uncle, mercy me
And my broken telepathy
For I'm left with nothing but this bloodless riverbank
West Memphis, please
I'm begging you to stop praying for me

Back To Hell lyrics - alkaline trio

Like the pills in your hand, I'll never let you down
And like the bugs in your bed, under my skin now
Devouring all that's left of me
Devouring all that's left of me

In the palm of your hand, a resting place
All the guilt in the land resting on me
And we're crushing beneath it, falling beside ourselves
And we're wishing to break this neverending spell

Send us back to hell, we've had our fill of heaven
Give us back our sins, the deadly one through seven
Keep us from their hearts, saving us like ashes
Cut us down with dust, never trust in anything we're told

Like the pills in your hand, I'll never let you down
And like the bugs in your bed, under my skin now
They're devouring all that's left of me
Yeah they're devouring all that's left of me

Send us back to hell, we've had our fill of heaven
Give us back our sins, the deadly one through seven
Keep us from their hearts, saving us like ashes
Cut us down with dust, never trust in anything we're told.

Your Neck lyrics - alkaline trio

We're the things that go bump in the night that you can't see
Yeah, we're the mishaps that always happen in threes
This ain't no rocket science, no big mystery
Why the light of day that's shown to us
Is absolutely meaningless to me
Well first things first, we've gotta find a way
To make the beauty of the nighttime last all day
We'll do our very best to keep our appetites in check
You better watch your back, we want your neck
Nothing but rotten apples lay here light years from the tree
Got thrown out of the house at the ripe age of three
I'll do my very best to keep my feelings off my chest
And out of your neck
We're the dreams that crumble into nightmares while you sleep
Yeah, we're that feeling someone's watching from the street
This ain't no rocket science, no big mystery
Why the light of day that's shown to us
Is absolutely meaningless to me

Smoke lyrics - alkaline trio

Over and out of it for one more plane ride out
Not sure, and never was if this will all head south, or what
Wait here a month or two will pass, I'm sure I won't
Faith dear, enough to get you by until we're home

I wish I don't wish I still smoked
I wish, I wrote you one original note

Take me home, tuck me in
Moon go down, do it again
take me home, tuck me in
Moon go down, do it again

Over and out of it for one more plane ride out
Not sure, and never was if this will all head south

I wish I don't wish I still smoked
I wish I wrote you one original note

Take me home, tuck me in
Moon go down, do it again
take me home, tuck me in
Moon go down, do it again

Fine Without You lyrics - alkaline trio

Well I'll sit here and convince myself it's true.
If you keep on telling your friends that we're through.
I've got nothing here but loneliness
Holes in walls and bleeding fists.
My head is pounding like a pillow, like a big black song.

Well my friends and I try to tell me you're gone.
Won't listen to myself or anyone.
You got on a plane and off you went.
You're never coming back again.

I'm trying to convince myself it's true.
Convincing myself
I'll be just fine without you. [x3]
I'll be here telling myself it's true.

I sit here trying to convince myself it's true.
But you keep on pretending you have no clue.
I'd kill for you and eat the flesh.
Give you the heart and burn the rest.
A thousand miles ain't shit to walk if I'm walking to hold you but

I'll be just fine without you [x3]
I'll be here telling myself
I'll be just fine without you [x6]

I'll be here telling myself it's true.

Hating Every Minute lyrics - alkaline trio

Sit down, please make yourself comfortable...
I might need some time
to dance around what I need to say,
I love you to death, I think I need a break.

I spend my days worried out loud,
I gag in my head, I choke it back down.
It hurts me inside to save your insides,
so close my lips tight, move eyes to the side.

This is the way we disappear.
It's easy if you burnout like a star.
This is the way we disappear.
It's easy like a fifty foot fall.

And I'm waiting, for whatever better time...
to evict these words that have rented out my mind.
And I'm hating every minute that I don't speak out loud,
like a year laying down
like a year laying down
like a year laying down

Relax on this bed of nails, on this plastic sheet,
your blood leaves a trail right back to me.
A problem you see.
Would you please allow a moment to think?

Dead And Broken lyrics - alkaline trio

A deep dark secret down at the bottom
But this bay can't keep it unforgotten.
And a story that was told has now grown taller than we'd ever wish to be
Beyond belief...

I'll grab the boat if you go grab the anchor,
The tarp and twine and the weights that sank her.
They weren't enough look who showed up
A new light shed is shining through. Illuminating you as we lay

Side by side, dead and broken
Our lives aren't the same since the night yours went stolen.
Blood ran black beneath the moonlight. Your lover's blood ran cold,
Cutting off the hands he used to hold.

A deep dark secret down at the bottom
But this bay can't keep it unforgotten.
And a story that was told has now grown taller than we'd ever wanna be
Beyond Belief...

Side by side, dead and broken
Our Hearts aren't the same since the night yours went stolen.
Blood ran black beneath the moonlight. Your lover's blood ran cold,
Cutting off the hands he used to hold.

We used to hold.
