Off-Brand Psychosis

Does it give you much hope to swallow
That we can die today and still live tomorrow?
The pictures you painted, the song in your voice
Left you between a plague and a choice
When all of your hate soaked up all your fear
You winced and replaced your sadness with spears
You'll find yourself looking back, thinking how this was unfair
But I won't have a minute or a goddamn to care
Do you find yourself counting backwards
Extinguishing the pain,
Choking and sobbing through all your wasted days?
Leavings not the hardest part, man,
It's saving all the face.
I guess I'll clear your space
When all of your hate soaked up all your fear
You winced and replaced your sadness with spears
You'll find yourself looking back, thinking how this was unfair
But I won't have a minute or a goddamn to care
Maybe god would save your weary soul
if you'd only give up on rock and roll
Offbrand psychosis
You're the leader of your pack
Offbrand psychosis
Sweat pure never coming back
Offbrand psychosis
You wasted every breath
Offbrand psychosis
Now your life is worse than death
Maybe god would save your weary soul
if you'd only give up on rock and roll

Easy Living

I can't talk unless I'm drinking
And I can't drink without my smoke
But if we smoke, no conversation
Because no one will get my jokes
It's a nightmare, but living's easy
I never have to bite my tongue
There's no progress
But here's no failure
My only truth is what I've done
I never think about the future
And i already lost the past
When I was shaking in your driveway
With this world taking me to task
I can't believe you really loved him
And that you'd rather bleed than cry
But that was me before you climbed in
And tore me up from the inside
It's a nightmare but living's easy
I never have to bite my tongue
There's no progress
But there's no failure
My only truth is what I've done
Did you think that it was worth it
I bet it stung, to say the least
I can't say that you don't deserve it
I can say that I am released
I mostly just go out and back now
I just say things are piling up
I think I like it in the background
I think my fill is just enough
It's a nightmare but living's easy
I never have to bite my tongue
There's no progress
But there's no failure
My only truth is what I've done

I'll Lay You To Rest

The odds are good but th for goods are odd
I'm either saving face or playing god
There's a difference, don't you know?
There's no comfort where we go
And I know that you don't have the time
To keep these kinds of promises.
Left me waiting on your steps
In the freezing death
But someday I'll lay you to rest anyway
Shaking now, taking time
The fraud I'm not
The heathen I'm taking turns now carving up
It's nothing next to what I've become
And I know that you don't have the time
To keep these kinds of promises
Left me waiting on your steps
In the freezing death
But someday I'll lay you to rest anyway
Who could find such a sequence
When you keep it like it's a secret?
I dare you to find a place where it's different
Or a life untouched by it's spirit
Left me waiting on your steps
In the freezing death
But someday I'll lay you to rest anyway

Little Victories

Ain't it all the same?
We just get crueler every day
Traded stories then
Nowadays we have to pretend that
We'll all be great
We'll all be fine
Ten more seconds 'till we've pushed you out, over the line
We break bottles
Clash our tired hands with broken glass and
Keep our posture straight
This ain't the place to face your old ways
I was satisfied with scraping at the bottom half but
This ain't suicide
I want to end on my best line
I'll forget all I know
I'll forget all you've said
Chasing sacrifice never ends the way you want it
That's all I am
That's all this is
It's not justified, it won't dissolve away with time.
We break bottles
Clash out tired hands with broken glass and
Keep our posture straight
This ain't the place to face your old ways
I was satisfied with scraping at the bottom half but
This ain't suicide
I want to end on my best line
