I’ve been placing fittings for a whole year now And I do not like that, it makes me feel sad I’ve been emptying boxes and I dont like that
2.
Ashtray 02:29
Did you even listen To what the ashtray had to say Cause he might have some answers And you should look forward to hear ‘em Since I’m not feeling good And he’s the only one who knows that Cause now I’m troubled, while I sleep Now i’m troubled while I sleep And I wonder if we could only ask ourselves these questions Are we meaningless or are we just lacking of purpose? Cause, I’ve been so anxious and he’s the only one who knows that Now I’m troubled while I sleep Now I’m troubled while I sleep There’s nothing else left that a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon can tell
3.
Stay In 03:04
Run while you can ‘Cause it might be the last time You’ll get to go wherever you want, Whenever you want to ‘Cause long story short Soon you’ll surely find yourself Unwilling to go to some place else And long story short What else could it be Unless you disagree I’ve got these evidences in my mind that you can’t refute Since you’ve seemed better off at home Trying to figure out what’s missing What’s keeping you from seeing clearly And you wish you would have said those things (I wish I would have said those things) To you friend (already) So you (So I) Could have left it all behind But I, I’ll stay in for a while I’ll stay in for a while Instead of hanging out with you And I, I'll be gone for a while I'll be gone for a while Trying to think this trough
4.
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about myself And how I ended up here Completely addicted and somehow disconected To my feelings But it might be the ashes burning in my blood That keeps me high, most of the time And made all the beauty of life Vanish from my eyes But they never told you how hard it was gonna get Dropping out of school, filled with brief regrets But now you look ahead And choose to stay in bed It’s getting boring faster everyday Fighting to stay awake I hit a wall that coffee can’t break And I guess, I just need a break And then another week goes by Half a day at a time, ‘cause you know Working eight to five isn’t usually nice But I hate it this time And they never told you how hard it was gonna get Feeling left alone, filled with deep regrets Now you won’t look ahead Or even get outta bed But take your time It won’t change ‘til you get home To take your time To create something beautiful So take your time It won’t change ‘til you get home To take your time To create something beautiful (But the thoughts in your head won’t go away) (There’s nothing you can do to make it feel okay)
5.
Relax 01:41
It’s getting boring in a way that I never felt before Just the idea that something new won’t come in my way at all So what’s next, ‘cause I need to get out of my head It’s been bad enough the last couple of days I wake up a 9:35 And I’m already high by eleven I don’t know what to do, or what to say Since I’ve got no one to talk to And it’s getting boring I’m getting bored And it’s not preventing my stone ass to get off the couch today To be stuck under a blanket over-protecting me from the cold So what’s next, ‘cause I need to get out of my head It’s been bad enough the last couple of weeks And I just need To relax
6.
Silhouettes 03:05
Is it me or it’s not what I wanted Or it’s just another thing Am I wrong or everything Just drives me mad? And I wish, that you could start again Lookin’ around and all I see is just A distant silhouette And I cried all day Sitting on my bed Tryin’ to think of anything else than that Is it just another phase? Is it just some other faces? Am I wrong or they’re just Silhouettes in the distance And they’re looking at me
7.
On&On 03:17
It’s the story of a man that I know so well He’s a dreamer in denial and he can’t complain To anyone, ‘cause no one wants to hear A guy who’s getting pretty heavy and sounds kind of weird When he wakes up He’s feeling old And his bedroom Is getting pretty fucking cold To drunk to go to bed, he crashed on my couch Painting pictures with his hands in his blurry eyes Moving slowly to the left, then he fell asleep So I went straight to my bed and started thinking that When he wakes up He’ll be feeling old Wherever his room was It’ll be getting cold And tomorrow mornin’ I hope he finds a better place Cause too many people Like me might end up just like him Though he taught me a lesson You better see the bright side of what’s happening It won’t come again, it’s your only chance You can’t only wish that things will fix themselves But it doesn’t matter (it doesn’t matter) It doesn’t matter it (it doesn’t matter) When he’ll wake up He’ll be feeling old No matter what time it is He’ll be getting cold So god bless his soul You know he’s lost control Can’t buy him more time but That’s how life goes And it goes on It goes on And it goes on On and on
8.
Small Talk 00:47
I’m sorry I might not be As scared as you are ‘Cause now that I’m twenty I feel like the worst is yet to come So why should we care At least I don’t
9.
Can you tell me what’s going on Cause I can’t tell right now You were my by best friend Then a second later you’re gone Without notice and It kept me wondering Why did you leave me for them It’s been months since The last time we hung out alone And I need to Talk about the things that I hate Like we used to Before you left me for dead Lies or betrayals I can’t say which one is the worst But in my opinion Mathematically they’re the same And I guess I won’t wait again The time has come to find some new friends Some that won’t screw me And some of them might actually care Why did you leave me for them It’s been months since The last time we hung out alone And I need to Talk about the things that I hate Like we used to Before you left me for dead Completly lost in the haze I’m tired And here my time goes to waste And I need to Get back on the track If I wanna know Why did you leave me for dead
10.
I thought I’d be capable Of feeling your feelings But the moment I start smoking My good will is hiding And my heart has been running So fast, this past week And I wonder how I can help you While I’m wandering alone in my room I’m afraid I’ll deceive you At one point or another Cause I’ve been screwing around I’ve been screwing a lot of things I wish I could grow old But I’m tired of being miserable Since the first time I saw you I just need you around me Whatever the knife that you take To mark in my head And you know I’ve been smoking You know I’ve been drinking A lot It’ll take some time, I guess Or maybe I’ll never completely recover But for now I’m just dying On the inside I doubt I’ll be capable Of feeling your feelings Cause my goodwill keeps hiding out And I don’t want your sympathy I just want your misery away from me I dont know what I’m looking For but i know that I’ll find it Anyway And I don’t want your sympathy I just want your misery away from me I dont know what I’m looking For but i know that I’ll find it Anyway
11.
Interlude 02:41
I know it sounds dumb But I need it to stand for myself And I know that it’s bad for me But yet I feel so guilty to need it ‘Cause since we’ve been together It’s been a part of my life and I’m sorry ‘Cause I like it
12.
I Got High 03:21
I got high And then you cut my hair While Pavement was playing The hair went everywhere I got high And then I dyed your hair Yellow, green, pink And everything in between I feel it coming, coming up to me The reasons why I love you will mutate over time And the reasons, oh the reasons they never stop To appear to me I got high And then you want a back rub And I’m lucky ‘Cause it’s the thing you needed the most I got high And then you rubbed my back Well you know It’s the best thing that we got I feel it coming, coming up to me The reasons why I love you will mutate over time And the reasons, oh the reasons they never stop To appear to me And I feel it coming, coming up to me The reasons why I love you will mutate over time And the reasons, oh the reasons they never stop To appear to me
13.
C U Soon 04:43
I guess I’m leaving, in the morning Gotta pack my memories and leave Though this year ends on misunderstanding From the things we left unsaid I gotta say, that it’s been great I had two of my best friends But now, I’m gonna start to say these things Please god help me out But I’m not leaving For too long I’m not leaving I’ll be there all along I hope that those words are true And I wish that I’d come through See you soon I’m gonna miss you And I hope everything will be fine I won’t be around, I’ll be around I won’t be around, I’ll be around
