When I close my eyes, I fall right back to sleep. Please don't wake me up I like to dream.
Paranoia strikes, she calls out your name, she turns out her light, you're not there again.
I open my eyes, it takes me right back there. Please don't snap me out I like to stare.
Anxiety it strikes, you thought you had your friends, She turns out the light, there's no one there again.
Anxiety it's fine, you thought you had your friends, she turns out her light, there's no one there again.

Strong For Me

Strip down all that's left of me, explain what you expect to see, maybe one day you will find what's been killing you.
Seems to be another tragedy as soon as I'm out the door it all (hits the ceiling) maybe I'll be back sooner than you think, but until then you must be, strong for me.
And take back all you left for me, take it all.
Seems to be another tragedy as soon as I'm out the door it all (hits the ceiling) maybe I'll be back sooner than you think, but until then you must be, strong for me.
She's irritated, she can't explain it, and she knows I'm wrong. She's complicated, she's frustrated, she said let's go.
I'm irritated, I can't explain it, and I know I'm wrong, It's complicated, it's frustrating, I said let's go home.
It's something I can't explain (woah)
All she does is complain (woah)
I'm finding a way to refrain (woah)
From making myself go insane.
I'm not insane

She only wants to feel wanted, she only wants to feel something, she only wants to be loved on or cheated on taken out or beat up on anything so she can feel something. She only wants to feel wanted.(X2)
She's tired of feeling so numb, she figured out that she's done, she packs and goes on the run, she doesn't tell anyone, she's gotta get the fuck out, no destination in route, she's overflowing with doubt, she's gotta get the fuck out.
She only wants to feel wanted, she only wants to feel something, she only wants to be loved on or cheated on taken out or beat up on anything so she can feel something. She only wants to feel wanted.(X2)(Guitar solo by Justin "Hoon" Waldrop of Skull Drug)
He had a chance to do right, but he did it all wrong, and now she left over night, with no goodbyes or so longs, he didn't know what he lost, all she knows is she's found, she left his ass in the dust without making a sound.
She only wants to feel wanted, she only wants to feel something, she only wants to be loved on or cheated on taken out or beat up on anything so she can feel something. She only wants to feel wanted. (X2)

Lies, they feed us lies, they feed us lies
Fuck my life!(X2)
The lost forgotten truth, protecting it a warrior stands lonely with blood on his hands. Around him there's a pool of thousands of dead soldiers, who died there for taking a stand. Without him there's no proof, or any way to warn us from troubles ahead that are planned. He's broken all the rules, holds information sworn from us. Restricted from the common man, ya
(He didn't have to take the job)
They drew the battle lines, the life he lived is far behind. What happens when we know the truth.
When will we ever know the truth?(X4)
Lies, they feed us lies, they feed us lies
Fuck my life!

I've seen you fake it. You don't bond, you break them. Lately you just seem a little out of touch. Creating worries, all from flurries. Maybe lately you've just had bad luck.
I've always wondered, was I really covered? Or is it just one of those thing that people always say? Like one day, it'll be okay, but until then I'll smoke a cig and sing whoa. We'll all be singing whoa.

Hypochondriac
01:27
|

|
Wait a minute I think I feel sick maybe I should just go throw up.
My palms begin to sweat, is it hot in here to you? Can you feel my head? Can you feel my head? These lights are so intense, will you turn that down? And I'll try to get some sleep. I'll try to get some sleep.
Maybe it's in my head (woah)
Maybe I'm not sick at all
Maybe I'll go to bed (woah)
And try to get some sleep tonight, you hypochondriac. It's all in your head.
Wait a minute I think I feel sick maybe I should just go throw up (X2)

Every day feels the same. All the lessons you taught, you taught me. In every way, go all the way. I will give you hell, yes I will give you hell.
This is a test, she'll pass but fail the rest what about us? (What about) you're so self centered. I'm moving on. No more accusations. No more tests.
And all the times, and yet I realize I am on my own. Yes on my own. In every way, go all the way. Give them all hell kid, give them all hell.
This is a test, she'll pass but fail the rest what about us? (What about) you're so self centered. I'm moving on. No more accusations. No more tests.
Time is flying by as you know. Do you blame me for how I feel?
(Solo)
All the way, go all the way. (X2)
This is a test, she'll pass but fail the rest what about us? (What about) you're so self centered. I'm moving on. No more accusations. There'll be no more fucking tests.

Dream
03:54

Give me some sleep, take me somewhere I can see you and hang out one more time. What I would give, what I would take to turn back time, just to make sure you stayed home. It's all just a dream. And it's alright to dream. It takes strength just to be the one that everyone leans on to.
It's been 9 years, I'll never forget the day I was way too far away. I can't help but feel if I was with you at the time, I know I would've made it all alright. It's all just a dream. And it's alright to dream. It takes strength just to be the one that everyone leans on to. Give me some sleep, take me somewhere I can see you and hangout for a while. What I would give, what I would steel to turn back time, Just to make sure you stayed home. I wish this was a dream. Cuz we all have bad dreams, but it's reality and I gotta be the one that everyone leans on to. And I'm alright with that.

Not Me
03:05
|

|
Sometimes it feels like it's not real, Living my life like a dream. I don't believe that but maybe, maybe in a world parallel to ours something out of nightmares. That just ain't me, no longer looking back I can't hold on to that. It's not real this so called reality. I'm so much stronger now than you made me believe.

Where can we go and what can we hope to find? There's a place long ago and it's stuck in my mind. I am woke. It is time as we all get reminded. Where is this place that seems so far away yet it's home to me? No we don't have to stay let us pack all our shit no we don't have to be here. (woah) We stumble on, searching for a better place. We stumble on, searching for a better place to be.
I saw this place in my dreams and I don't know what it means. I know that I have to go no matter how hard it seems. But I'll go cuz I'm bold and I'm woke and reminded. Where is this place that seems so far away, yet it's home to me? No we don't have to stay. Let us pack all our clothes no we don't have to stay here.
(woah) We stumble on, searching for a better place. We stumble on, searching for a better place to be.
(Woah) phone home
We stumble on, searching for a better place. We stumble on, searching for a better place to be.
Searching for a better place to be. (X2)

Owed to Marlys
01:43

79 years old, died with a heart of gold, greatest story ever told. An epic tale of a lady, who wasn't always so lady like. She'd tell you things you never knew and keep you up laughing all night. If you ever had a problem, you could sit right by her side.
She'd tell you every thing she knows, you wouldn't have to feel alone. She'd tell you everything she knows, you wouldn't have to be alone.
Marlys miss Marlys we miss you so much you were there when we needed you. You were always our crutch. Marlys miss Marlys didn't we have a blast? You loved us all even when we were acting like a horses ass. And every single day with you was bliss. And you know that you're still dearly missed. We're thankful for the fact that you have ever existed. We honor you with this, miss Marlys.
