It's been a lifeline It's passed the days and saved us For the last time It's not a minus or a plus It's the dawn of the death of our youth it's come too soon So tell me a tale about not getting older Before I lose the ego and the chip on my shoulder It's time for an injection of some enthusiasm Its becoming hard to take it, its becoming our anthem Yesterday isn't too far away, tomorrow is never becoming And I would thank you for the pain with that said tomorrow is never becoming Its been a lifetime and it’s taken it’s toll This love has been a lifeline and swallowed us whole I guess this is the whole point about not going far by planes, trains, drugged escape it's low brow and it's dark We push ourselves to make it through the cracks and the fray This is getting old I’m told this is the way it goes or so they say

It’s 8am and class time, I’m wound up for her lecture, it’s ecstasy I need A little bit of anxious, those wild eyes between us, I know she’s into me And maybe she will tutor me alone There’s passion that this woman wants to show She wants me, I know she really wants me My eyes fall around her clothes as I wonder if she knows.. She knows. She comes in with a smile, oh god it’s been a while, since she stood close to me I think that it’s time that I made her mine, I bet she can’t wait And then maybe we’ll go to her home she’ll show me wonders She’ll love me so and show me those lovely bits she’s got I’ll be her student here forever and she’ll be mine

I’m bored and i'm cold, how i wish this would end Stuck outside alone at a house in South Bend You said it'd be rad, and that we'd have a great time But it's Jersey shore inside with a box of cheap wine So won’t you wake me up before you go tonight I had a moment of clarity that I was right And that this fuckin’ party would suck alright So i'm crashed out on the porch to get away From your supa-fly party of pain Your stories are lies and your breath smells like shit The closer you stand to me the sicker I get The music's too loud and your couch smells like piss Cats all around my neck, your pitbull sniffing my dick So won’t you wake me up before you go tonight I had a moment of clarity that I was right And that this fuckin’ party would suck alright So i freeze outside just to stay out of sight And as the time ticks by The drunken assholes start to brawl and fight It's getting weirder as your girlfriend stares Without her shirt on, puking everywhere I try and back out with nowhere to go Lookin’ for Dave and Todd to hit the road Panic overcomes, i run for the door I drop my keys and fumble on the floor Can’t fucking take it anymore No need to wake me up, this van is jet to flight I had a moment of clarity that I was right I knew that fuckin’ party would suck alright Ill drive as fast as I can to put that shit behind

There’s a panic that’s been choking on my life as I age It’s catching up and creepin’ in like a jihadist crusade I need to leave for vacation in a permanent way Onward! The places that I’ve wanted to go It’s not that far away for me to be out on the road Flying fast as a bat out of hell I go While I breathe and bleed I’m gonna be Out on the run cause the end ain’t that far away It’s not that far away Cause I’m feeling slower every day Behold new aches and pains Onward! the only place to go Before you know it BAM!, lead in your veins You’re slowing back you ‘ve got no place to hide Standing still flashes like strobe in the mind Indecision’s poisoned you from inside Gotta move now if I’ll ever stay young forever Gripped with boredom, chained in this state If I just keep on my toes I know that I’ll never age I flood the brakes the mood starts to slow It’s not that far away for me to drown in rock n’ roll And ride the rhythms of these melodies I stole While I bleed and breathe I’m gonna be Out on the run cause the end ain’t that far away It’s not that far away Before I blow I’ll hesitate with one last mile to the ride No chance I’ll make it out alive before I fall behind And that’s just quite alright

Zack 03:30
Zack picks up the phone and he blows all his rent There is no thought if it’s wrong or right Night out on the town thinking nothing at all He takes steps close to the edge Tied off, he wonders as the fork tells spoonful lies In the back of his mind that someday he might Take back control of his life Zacks on tar and china white heroin He shakes so hard with the bugs under the skin And all the while he’s trying just to buy himself some time And although he’s dying on the inside he says he’s fine Back when Zack was a kid he had so many dreams Now he sleeps in the back of his car And he cuts it up to feel nothing at all His hopeful youth has been spent Now and then he wanders down to lower Wacker drive Still the wind isn’t kind and the cold chills his spine He thinks why should he even try Zacks on tar and china white heroin He shakes so hard with the bugs under the skin And all the while he’s trying just to buy himself some time And although he’s dying on the inside he says he’s fine It’s dragging him down It’s not despair that he wants He tries like hell and prays for it to stop Zacks on tar and china white heroin He shakes so hard with the bugs under the skin And all the while he’s trying just to buy himself some time And although he’s dying on the inside he says he’s fine

Socialite 02:16
With red carpets down you're always around Playing whore for the camera man Your life is a fake and fame a mistake Accomplished nothing to earn your breaks With ratings so high, your type multiplies Infection spreads through the airwaves Your false attitudes and prescripted moods Imagination goes down the tubes Still I wonder why a person would buy up the rage of some socialite Spend their viewing time living inside fake actors fake lives.. With ratings so high, your type multiplies Infection spreads through the airwaves Your false attitudes and prescripted moods Imagination.. Dont you see it? The downfall of TV Producers breed it, to keep themselves wealthy and the viewers they suck for playing right into their hands Getting pimped by a socialite brand Is your life so lame that you become enslaved over people you're never met? And if they met you a 'no one' they'd choose to ignore you and smirk at best You should wonder why you're spending your time watching other people live life If you’d step outside your focus of mind you'd be less fried Don’t you see it? The downfall of TV Producers breed it, to keep themselves wealthy and the viewers they suck for playing right into their hands getting pimped by a socialite brand Lately I’ve found watching so difficult Boiling my blood And still today I am a nobody But at least I’m not living a lie

The Mutiny 02:48
So all aboard and show your passports Its 21 to climb aboard of course We'll make it inside, it's almost high tide It's gonna be the night of our fuckin lives Anchors away, the large mugs create the ocean spray People push you to the side, as the whole floor comes alive It all takes me away, I become elated on this stage She looked me in the eye, she looked me in the eye And stood so all alone as some punk crashes to the floor by her feet I stand on top of the world on these four inches see the whole show beneath and she see's me.. Take my hand this adventure is captured in time We were separated from our simple lives By this jive dive-bar sensation, this punk rock vacation Is floating under the radar, floating under the radar Stay course, full steam ahead the boring daylight is a thing of the past All hands on deck for the last encore comes to us it’s over too fast Take my hand this adventure is captured in time We were separated from our simple lives By this jive dive bar sensation, this punk rock vacation Is floating under the radar, floating under the radar
