We talked for a while, 'bout what's going on, And don't be a child, 'cause it's time to move on But I'm caught on the porch now, yeah I'm lost on the porch now Took me to the city, got me feeling good, Should I feel guilty? Maybe I should... But I'm caught on the porch now, yeah I'm lost on the porch now Yeah I'm caught on your porch now, yeah I'm lost on the porch now

Told me that you think that it all went to waste, Tried all the things that you could in this place, But I'm tired of waiting around in your town for things to turn out right, 'Cause I've been waiting for years, I've been waiting for years To take you to the deeper end, so it don't hurt me all the time, Just to see you say, you think your innocence is mine, But I'll go until you stop me yeah, or you give a reason why, Other than I'm "careless with my own life" I bet they were so pleased with themselves, I heard they let you in, just to kick you out, But how can you say that you are trying when you don't care at all? Cause I've been waiting for years, I've been waiting for years To take you to the deeper end, so it don't hurt me all the time, Just to see you say, you think your innocence is mine, But I'll go until you stop me yeah, or you give a reason why, Other than I'm "careless with my own life"

Hypocrites 02:28
That's okay, take your time, Sell your face, set the price, Just don't ask questions in paradise, Keep your mouth shut Shooting sand up in his brain, Finding ways to seize the day Don't you think there's more to life, underneath this pain and strife? See your forefathers come back to life, underneath this pain and strife Won't it make you suffer, To see where you will fall, And won't it make you happy, To watch us take it all Hard to aim, hard to please, It sucks to come and it sucks to leave, You killed two friends, now make it three... - Shooting sand up in his brain, Finding ways to seize the day Don't you think there's more to life, underneath this pain and strife? See your forefathers come back to life, underneath this pain and strife Won't it make you suffer, To see where you will fall, And won't it make you happy, To watch us take it all

Bloodhaus 02:30
Hurt when your body hit the turf, Yeah, it couldn't have been worse I remember you tried to flee the scene, Boy, you didn't make it clean Well here it comes Was it easier to just forget? Left the state before he cashed the check, Took your life now you can't have it back Hey man, I come here all the time man, This shit used to be mine Don't hate, for trynna' play it safe mate, I'll find a better place But was it easier to just forget? Left the state before he cashed the check, He took your friends now you can't have them back, Looks like we got stuck again, in the BLOOD HOUSE

Oh Louise, don't let the poster children get you down, 'Cause when your time comes you can't sit and frown, Oh Louise, living in a nation only six miles wide, But when the time comes you just sit and you cry, Why Louise? I don't really have to go but I've got to see, If I can get the head to find what I need, You say that I'm losing faith but honey you don't know, Save all your plans for me when I come back home It's time to stop looking for reasons when you think that you're warm, but you're freezing, Come along with me now, kick me around, talk me blue in the face 'til I'm barely breathing Louise, don't let the poster children get you down, 'Cause when your time comes you can't sit and frown, Oh Louise, Don't really know the way but I've got to see, If I can get this heart to find what I need, And you think that I'm losing face but honey you don't know, I'll save all my plans for you when you come back home, I'll wait You were too young...

No more time to wait, yes it was time to leave the house Please just let him go before he starts to make a mess Oh he says he's been in situations before where things don't go his way, I'd be willing to bet that that is not true, but okay See I am a real perceptive man, I try to see everything the best I can, So when you start telling me that I'm not right, You better bet this boy's about to fly 'cause I don't want to be here anymore, Please just let him go and then I'll try to settle the score, I don't want to be here anymore, Please just let him go and then I'll try to settle the score No more time to joke yes it was time to flee the scene Please just let him go before he starts to play for keeps Oh he says he's been in situations before where he don't play his games, All I'm sayin' is I'm not playin', Is that okay? Is he out late at night, in a bar; in a fight, He knows his reasons he knows his rights Oh it's odd yes And he takes it all and he don't give back, And he wants it all but he don't give back, And he says that life's been pretty rough, And he takes it all but that's not enough, First time down and he got off, Two more times just wasn't enough, Three more times and he couldn't let up, And he takes it all but that's not enough I don't want to be here anymore, Please just let him go and then I'll try to settle the score, I don't want to be here anymore, Please just let him go and then I'll try to, I'll try to, wait... And he takes it all and he don't give back, And he wants it all but he don't give back, And he says that life's been pretty rough, And he takes it all but that's not enough, First time down and he got off, Two more times just wasn't enough, Three more times and he couldn't let up, And he takes it all but that's not enough

Leave us all alone tonight, You've got time to talk before it's light, All the things you said stick in my head, As the sun it sets out in the west Everyone that you meet, Won't tell you tales quite so sweet, You can give them grief, you can give them strife But they still know how to take a human life Cause everyone down the street, Will tell you tales just as sweet, Say a life in the dark won't get you far, But at least you don't have to try as hard
8.
I've been on the outside, I've been watching over you I know where you've been my friend, I know where you're going too You say you've got problems but nobody knows, You'll still be around if it comes or it goes, You think of your drug and forget all the rest, It's hard to admit when you're not at your best I think that we could get along, But now I know that you don't want it at all, Guess you want nothing We are in different worlds my friend, And I'll never understand, Do you want it all, or do you want nothing? I see the difference, I see why it's the same too, Believe me when I say, nobody's forcing you to choose Smoke all you can if it makes you a man, You're messing with things that you don't understand, Forfeit a meal if it fucks with your plan But I think that we could get along, But now I know that you don't want it at all, Guess you want nothing We are in different worlds my friend, And I'll never understand, Do you want it all, or do you want nothing?

So Many Days 03:13
It's not too late to set everything straight, Just give me time and I'll try it again, So many days, too little time, Took way too long to see what I was doing wrong, Tell me to change, if it can't wait But she starts to cry, you don't know why, She just wants to know, where it is that he always goes Sitting in a tunnel of glass shards, Life reflects at a pattern, almost like nothing matters, Were you out of your mind man? No I was excited, I don't care what happens anymore It's way too late to grab a new face, But give him time and he'll try it again, Too many quotes, two little words But I swear no one out there understands me like you do, So many years, so many years But she starts to cry, you don't know why, She just wants to know, where it is that you always go Eating in a tunnel of glass shards, Life reflects at a pattern, almost like nothing matters, Were you out of your mind man? No I was excited, I don't care what happens anymore You don't know how much I'd give just to take you away for the summer, Know what I'd do
10.
Hey, what's the difference lately? Do I think that you'll come towards me? What about the year that went to waste? Took you for a drama chaser, A red face in a yellow pacer, Do you remember the days we stood outside? Said this place is packed now but let's get in line She starts to cry before she even leaves, leaves the room, "I can't stand it when you talk down to me," I do The folks carried on so quickly, Give it time and they will forget me, Plays his games at night while she fades away See I can tell you just don't care, Based on your clothing and that messy hair, Will you have more answers in a year? I don't know... You say that you don't but inside it's not clear... She starts to cry before she even leaves, leaves the room, "I can't stand it when you talk down to me," I do But it's alright, she's got enough to go around, Yeah it's okay, she says she's never been out of this town, At least not for a while
11.
Overhearing others talking of each other, Talking about life and talking about me, Listening to drugs, they were listening to sin, They were listening to each other, and forgetting where they've been But is it too much to ask to get an answer from you? Is it too much to get an answer from you now? Well is it too hard? You were all alone while we were all together, Not the strongest blade could sever in my mind, But it's all from point of view, we were really into you, You weren't that into us, we just never knew But is it too much to ask to get an answer from you? Is it too much to get an answer from you now? Well is it too hard? Is it too much to ask to get an answer from you? Is it too much to get an answer from you now? Well is it too hard?
