Death of the Rockstar
Fuck the industry, fuck labels and radio
The second you get original, they never wanna play you
They'll betray you, fake backing you then hate you
Amazing what they say when the smoke and mirrors engage you
Like an angel, come from heaven here to save you
You swear you've got you're problems solved 'till the bill comes in for payment
You're enslave then, they own every single angle
You're bound and gagged, you can't run back, the underground won't help you
It's the death of the rockstar
All over again
And assured as I write this
I don't give a shit
Fuck the t.v. and movies
And all that they've shown me
'Cause this sure ain't it
All the lives that they've sold
Skinny jean 12 year olds
I'm just so sick of it
Waltz your pace please the crowd
Waltz your pace face the crowd
Traded everything for nothing, sold my childhood for pennies
Gunning for this great reward but never getting any
And there's plenty, artists to pick from 'cause there's many
Deserving of your precious love, and the spending of your money
It's the death of the rockstar
All over again
And assured as I write this
I don't give a shit
Fuck the t.v. and movies
And all that they've shown me
'Cause this sure ain't it
It's the death of the rockstar
Over, no more, this is all that you get
Waltz your pace please the crowd
Waltz your pace face the crowd
Some things some fans don't care for
Some things some bands don't care for
Some thing some fans won't care for
Some thing some bands won't care for
It's the death of the rockstar
All over again
And assured as I write this
I don't give a shit
Fuck the t.v. and movies
And all that they've shown me
'Cause this sure ain't it
All the lies that they've told
There's no strippers, no blow
So fuck it, I quit

Left For Dead

Left for Dead
I wish the stars would shine
Everybody hates me
Don't remind me
That all I am is shit
Broken pieces of my past
The life I was supposed to lead
Stop, ever thinking that this worthless slop
Would amount to be anything but
The broken man you see before you
No. I've rejected all remnants of hope
Absolutely unwilling to cope
The unpredictable life I've chosen
Take all I am, all I have
Why aren't you listening, hearing me?
Through all we've made, all we've bled
How could you ever leave me for dead?
It ain't so simple now
I'm so fucking angry
Even if you want me gone
I'm still here
Like pane glass for walls
Completely exposed
Stark raving naked in front of you all
The look in your eye has always mirrored mine
Could you imagine not seeing again?
These are the things that I hold true
And I'm giving them all to you
Take all I am, all I have
Why aren't you listening, hearing me?
Through all we've made, all we've bled
How could you ever leave me for dead?
How could I ever leave you for dead?

When in Rome

When in Rome
A hidden rose grows deep in the vines
'Neath the bloody thorns, there entwined
Petals heart shaped in size, tried my best to disguise
Though no green thumb am I
And while I write this our dreams are fading
Are your feelings dissipating?
I'm still ready and waiting for the glorious mending of the story book ending
How did you get inside my head?
I guess your aiming was true but it's
Dead to love me
After all the things I couldn't do
There is no falling from grace
No gravity in this place it's
Dead to love me
But when in Rome we'll do as the Romans do
Watch the leaves as their colours recede
Natures beauty can be ugly to me
The glare stains my eyes
Close the blinds as if my past disappears as the leaves die
Shouldn't have left in the first place
Not even a photo to capture your grace
As I drove you to fly
I just prayed to the sky that the car would just die
How did you get inside my head?
I guess your aiming was true but it's
Dead to love me
After all the things I couldn't do
But when we're far away
We can be as different as we wanna be
It's dead to love me
But when in Rome we'll do as the Romans do
What does my conscience now prove?
'Cause I'm still thinking of you
I'll drink the pain away
Just drink the pain away
Don't need suggestions from you
I'm not a charity case
I'll just drink my pain away
Just drink my pain away
Here's your keys to the fire
And now that you're inside my head
I hope you're listening closely it's
Dead to love me
After all the things I couldn't do
What do you want me to say?
That I think about you everyday?
It's dead to love me
But when in Rome we'll do as the Romans do

Shipwrecked
Treasure these moments we've shared through the years
Tidal waves to the mast head
Heads up boys, we can't stop, fuck that
All this weather we've been through together
Jump ship, fine, but I can't stop, fuck that
All remains to be seen from the cargo we've been towing
We're all that's left from this possible wreck
Though the brig is overflowing
Shipwrecked, shipwreck
Bodies suspended in restless positions
Toe the line boys, we can't stop, fuck that
Counting on us to deliver the goods now
Capsizing, but we can't stop, fuck that
All the waters were clear 'til a freak storm brought us here
But the cold winds of death
From the watery depths
Motivation the persevere
Shipwrecked, shipwreck
Treasure these moments we've shared through the years
