Wanna take a holiday away
Wanna make my weight in yesterdays
Wanna bathe in monochrome and gray
Bury my body in the past
I want these memories to last
Hard fall from pilot to first class
And everybody's singing
If you wanna take the long way home
Then step to the side
Free to see behind with rosy eyes
Used to be a steady kind of life
Now everyday's a new surprise
Invest my worth in VCRs
Don't tell me I defy the stars
Cause we can't change the men we are
And everybody's singing
If you wanna take the long way home
Then step to the side
My headlights aren't a mirror
Step aside
If you wanna take the long way home
Then step to the side

Tired of watching
My calendar is filled with caution
There's gotta be a better option
My eyes are gonna burn
I'm tired of knowing
Which way the winds are blowing
What direction we are going
And see us miss our turn
I'm haunted and hunted out by cable TV
The ghosts of their praise will be the death of me
We'll still be complaining when the thunderbolt hits
Just tired, complacent
I want the sunrise
Without suppressing surprise
With some steady, trusting allies
Without eyes on the door
Can't face the ceiling
Such an inconsistent healing
Can't remember even feeling
Strongly anymore
I'm haunted and hunted out by cable TV
The ghosts of their praise will be the death of me
We'll still be complaining when the thunderbolt hits
Just tired, complacent

Schizophrenic Paranoia

Hey you with the stupid grin
All your friends are talking shit again
They fucking hate your guts
They tolerate you but it's all for show
And everybody knows it
Baby in a big boy suit
With a part time job, that's pretty cute
You're a bone when it's dog eat dog
Looking like a preteen in his father's clothes
And everybody knows it
Maybe it's all in my head
This lying schizophrenic paranoia
Annoys ya no end
Listening to rumors from the voices
And noises in my head
Love your art like it was my kid's
Say it's pretty good when it's pretty shit
Try too hard when you should give up
You've nothing good to say after "hello"
And everybody knows it
Desperate for a human touch
You'll give your heart if it has a pulse
Name a 5K after you
With women running fast as they can go
And everybody knows it
Gotta be all in my head
This lying schizophrenic paranoia
Annoys ya no end
Listening to rumors from the voices
And noises in my head
Insanity don't seem so far away now
A blackout or red
Praying for my future institution
Confusion til I'm dead
You're a joke without a clue
You're Axl Rose in '92
You're a mistake and it shows
Should've never been an embryo
Oh no
And everybody knows it

The Golden Age

Stop me stop me stop me
I'm afraid I'll make a good impression
I'm about to dance with bad intentions
I'm about to lose myself again
Kill me kill me kill me
I'm afraid I'll die out here alone
I was once a family and a home
And now I'm just a man
Is it any wonder why I'm staying here?
Just another temporary souvenir
So write it down, it's a disgrace to be erased
I ended the golden age
Miss me miss me miss me
Tell me that you'll miss me when I'm gone
Tell me you're unable to move on
Say "I'm in a rut and stuck on you"
Hate me hate me hate me
I wish you would want my fucking head
I want you to wish that I was dead
Cause that would make it true
Is it any wonder why I'm staying here?
Just another temporary souvenir
So write it down, it's a disgrace to be erased
I ended the golden age
Need me need me need me
Let me push you back for your own safety
I'm afraid the love you thought you gave me
Is sitting in its box, unopened, sealed
Break me break me break me
Show me you can break my brittle heart
I want you to tear my world apart
And leave me something real
Is it any wonder why I'm staying here?
Just another temporary souvenir
So write it down, it's a disgrace to be erased
I ended the golden age

Another day another dollar
Another reason to sleep in
Petty cash from whiter collars
Repeats again and again
Monday comes around again
If the customer is right
I think I'm walking out that door
He said I chose this life
And I deserve to be poor
Monday comes around again
And someday we will die and strangers we forgot
Will make a public post and say "I'm sorry for my loss"
What a blessed life, what a perfect dream
Donate my time to goldfish, give my brain to the machine

With Love, From Anywhere

Happy people make me sad
And puppies make me puke
When I hear the ice cream man
I pray we all get nuked
Or there's a pistol in the mistletoe
And Billy's been depressed
There's so many things I haven't said
I want them off my chest
Well I hate you
Summer's for the fireflies
And evenings in the sun
I hope the birds all sing and fly
And shit on everyone
And our cellphones give us heart disease
Our sun begins to frost
Let's pack our bags and kill ourselves
Chalk this life to a loss
Cause I hate you
You know I'm only kidding
And I wish you all the best
A never-ending Saturday
A peaceful moment's rest
A fancy car and mansion
In the hills all to your own
So nobody will miss you
When you die there all alone
I hate you
