One Day Never Comes

You always say
That you'll pull it together
Get a grip one day
You're gonna change your ways
A means to an end
Is what you'll find you say
You'll do it one day
But one day never comes
Today you've made the same mistakes
Breaking all of the promises you made
You'll never change your ways
It's getting old, the excuses that you make
Waiting for one day
One day never comes

Conflicted

Vanity afflicts me
Self-destruction contradicts me
Reasoning compels me
And lunacy derails me
Sobriety frustrates me
And addictions devastate me
Problems won't absolve me
Of solutions that dissolve me
Silence speaks for me
And my listeners ignore me
My intelligence insults me
And my decline catapults me

My Father's Son
03:44

When I wake up with glossy eyes
And stomach aches that I can't hide
Have I become my father's son?
My head hurts worse as it gets bright
My body shakes, I don't feel right
Have I become my father's son?
I'll drink all day, I'll drink all night
If that is wrong, I don't wanna be right
I'll speak in slurs, walk with a twist
Oh shit I puked! What did I hit?
(Oh no, I did it again!)
I go to work an hour late
Can't get shit done, I can't think straight
Have I become my father's son?
I'm feeling sick, I start to sweat
But in the end that's what I get
Have I become my father's son?

Naive
01:55
|
|

|
Indoctrinate the ignorant
To live subservient
And hypnotized
In classrooms, kids learn obedience and rules
And in churches they're told "God is watching you"
Pledge their allegiance to their country
Before they're old enough to think
Independent thought
And curiosity
Carry an ill repute
Follow the bible, repent for your sins
Jesus wants you all to be good children
Afraid and alone, it's easy to see
A nation left naive

Goodbye Lola

Goodbye Lola, give it your best
'Cause life will put you to the test
It's sex, stress, rent, money and death
Don't let the parasites subdue
That fire burning inside you
Don't let anyone take your last breath
You tried so hard to make me see
For so long, you were there for me
For some reason I only noticed
(The bottle in hand and the ways we would sleep)
Every night you returned to me
The same way I returned to the drink
Selfish and lethal, horny and feeble
Then Lola, one day you left
No hugs or kiss or second guess
My heart bled right out of my chest
(The beast inside me started tearing apart
What was left of the man who still had a real heart)
Goodbye Lola, I finally see
That we were never meant to be
The tumult in my head has finally stopped
So many nights, I sat awake
Remembering just how you taste
Tormented over what I thought
I lost
Time passed by and life moved on
But I stayed still once you were gone
So drunk and fucked up that I couldn't
(See my destruction had pushed you away)
So rejected, so confused
So pathetic drowning in booze
No help to give, no life to live
So Lola, babe, I've gotta say
I know now, why you ran away
You saved yourself from the part of me
(Spiraling downward and decomposing
And wasting every moment living in a dream)
