Tell ya what I wish I was doing this spring break
Sweatin' it out in a van with these sick dudes all week
Drivin' to a new town every night and day
Messin' these same songs up different ways
But the van fell through so we're taking it out on you
You know it’s not to meet girls or to take over world
And it’s not because we hate our hometown
You got some lofty ideals about where ya wanna go
We just wanted to get out of Chicago
But that's what it's like
Four dumb little kids all grown up inside
One dumb little dream to chase down before we die
But we should be so lucky to have doubt
that we'll ever go on tour
I'll just keep on spacing out
cuz I broke up with my girlfriend for this shit

Gotta leave you open to interpretation and hang you out to dry
Cuz when I look at you I see something that the next guy doesn’t
necessarily see
But he feels it in his bones and he’s taking that piece of you home
And I'm struggling to let you go
And I'm struggling to get a grasp on you
And I'm struggling to let you know
That I'm struggling but I love you
I love you
Can’t get a grasp on you
Can’t get a grasp on you
Can’t get a grasp on you
Can’t get a hold of you today
Maybe you’ll come to me
Maybe you’ll come to me
Maybe you’ll come to me
Maybe all I have to do is wait

Flashbulb Memory

Never had a loss for words lamenting you in verse
Anything that’s said, the meaning’s reversed
Something about an addict sees you differently
Some misty-winged Ashtophet’s presiding over me
If love was put on shelves
Images of you would be loving themselves
I can only take so much before you go to hell
It drags me down but I guess it suits you well
I felt you shuttering the night you came alive
Convulsing on the bed something still waits inside
A tinted room
Impending doom
Unraveled you
Started taking shape
Forgetting everything but flashbulb memories
Your apartment’s a forensic scene
This is our joint neurosis tied down to a chair
You keep on tightening but I don't fucking care
My lips are turning white and you’re tying the knot
Next time you see me I’ll be in the blackest clothes I got

We all know that you’re right
We just don’t wanna see a fight tonight
Between friends in the hall
Or taken outside on the frozen lawn
We’re sick of blood bein' drawn
Whatever they said it was all in good fun
So sick of bad blood between good friends
This isn’t how anyone wants it to end
There’s gonna be a band in the basement tonight
Yellin' out, "Make us proud"
Don’t worry about the kids givin' off bad vibes
We’re gonna be an entertaining crowd
We’re just spending our time
Cuz we all heard the end is near
There’s no use in yer differences
So please don’t bring that shit in here
We all know that you’re right, that you're right
We don’t care that you’re right
Not your right to be right

Oh shit! I can't move my lips!
I think I might've caught the yips
My English could use some
Could really use some practice
Cuz when I see your smile my heart could skip a country mile
It almost makes the downside of life completely worthwhile, but...
Well Angelina, there's this thing, uh, I've been meanin'a
Something I've been tryna say
But I can never pull the trigger, just keep waitin' for another day
Whenever your name's mentioned I can't help but pay attention
But when I see you, I lock up like an inmate in detention
Every time you talk to me, I think so hard that I can't speak on cue
Ima idiot for you
Wasted a pen and paper just tryna say to her, "Hey girl,
Ima idiot for you"
Well please now, if you would just calm down, I can explain
I've written it out about 1000x but I have no idea what to say
And every opportunity I've got I've squashed:
We're face to face, you say hey,
you're eyes are smilin' and my heart's awash
Every time you talk to me, I think so hard that I can't speak on cue
Ima idiot for you
Wasted a pack of paper just tryna say to her, "Hey girl,
Ima idiot for you"
No matter how many times I try
No matter how much it hurts inside
No matter all of the things I think
I can't say anything because
Every time you talk to me, I think so hard that I can't speak on cue
Ima idiot for you
Busted the old confuser just tryna get through to her, "Hey boo!
Ima idiot for you"

Have you ever been down in the dumps?
Have you ever had to take your lumps?
Have you ever worried you might be a chump?
Are you sick and tired of bein' a grump?
There's a pill for that!
There's a pill for everything, yeah
But there's no hope for you
And now you got trouble sleepin'
Depression, suicide
Your heart is sick of beatin'
Got migraines all the time
Your doctor's only measure of your longterm success
Is the pharmaceutical company that keeps paying him out in cash
There's a pill for that!
There's a pill for everything, yeah
So what the hell's with you?
Disclaimer: Common side effects of Fuqitol include dizziness, depression, nausea, trouble sleeping, toughts of suicide, random nosebleeds, crying yourself to sleep... People who are suicidal should consult a physician before taking Fuqitol. Ask your doctor if Fuqitol is right for you today!
There's a pill for that and that and that
There's a pill for that and that and
There's a pill for everything yeah,
So what the hell's with you?*
Well we're all fucked up too
*=Never trust a man who sucks Satan's dick for a living.

Sumeria, where are ya? cuz I might need somewhere to crash
Does it look like we fucked up? I kinda think that we fucked up
And we're throwin' the whole planet in the trash
And I know you left us once before
But that was floods and this is war
And I don't wanna fight no more
Sumeria, I can't blame ya, if you left us here to figure our shit out
But one last time, I implore ya,
if there was a time to step in that time's now
And I know you left us once before
But now we're on the brink of war
And I don't wanna do this anymore more
But we've never had this chance before
And we'll never get this chance again
So let me say just one thing to you, then:
Where all else fails, courtesy prevails
