G-Jam 03:05
Sometimes the beautiful aren't when they sleep I know because I stare This broken metaphor's lost on your vanity But I know that you, you don't care And when you wake up I'll be gone But you'll know just what it is you are You're just one in an ocean So many years I waste, watching you change The you I knew fading away And now your happiness in ruins lies It's happy just to be alive
2.
Sweating, breathing, leave all your hopes behind Come in, warm up, cause it's so cold outside Keep your eyes open, you have to stay awake Think of your future for once for Christ's sake They won't take us alive They won't take us alive You're my beauty, the ache that will complete me All that I've wanted is buried in your eyes

Jazz Jam 03:39
There are no lights on, but someone's home He lives to keep the brightness, out of his room So he sleeps long hours, away from the sun And takes in the evening sky as he runs Follows shadows down the street Thinks of ways that they could meet Feels the street beneath his feet But he's still at home and he's fast asleep Wants to break a thousand hearts before he dies Wants to see his true love fade in his eyes So he paints his face this jester red And wears his mask of loneliness

Small Minds 05:32
Small eyes peer from window shades Small minds fill up full of hate Small homes never raise them right Small hearts always have to fight Little girls learn to play with dolls Little boys learn to cry alone Little dogs can try and guard your home But they can never protect you from your own I am the rain, tapping on your window Drawing you outside I am your pain, laughing terrible Kissing your fever all away
6.
Keep on lying, keep on trying, keep on dying We all know there's nothing to lose His heart is broken, your backdoor's open Does anybody around here want the abuse You don't know just where you're going You don't know just what you'll lose And what'll you do And what'll you say And we would feel better if you go away The sun is coming, the guns are humming The bodies burning are the ones that you used to use Just close your eyes now, turn all those lights out And feel the pressure of the sun shining on you
7.
Oh you're such a big girl, aren't you? Big decision revelation from the clear-blue You don't see the imitation that's you Life is just a picture I can see through Driving home a show boat, no point, non-stop Feeling like you own it but you really don't know Can I take your coat, ma'am, maybe all your ego? Yellow tags are stapled when we don't know where your things go Feeling like a big girl, aren't you? But you're still a baby, too true Painting on the happy like a tattoo Changed so much that it's not even still you
8.
Inside the corn belt, behind the picket fence There burns a fire of empty adolescence We have no calling, no place to go at night It's midwestern living, and it sure isn't right We drive for hours, bored out of our sun-soaked skulls And we find nothing, and hence our anger pulls It's midwestern living, american gothic tragedy These shitty cities will be the end of me The cops have nothing to do but hunt for us They pushed me over but will they call my bluff I'm going to kill, burn your trailer park to the ground I'm coming for you and you won't hear a sound
9.
Hands upon the wheel, face pressed up to the glass Accelerator smashed, racing from his past He thinks a man has to do, what a man really feels So he swallows all excuses, and he wears stiletto heels Tally Ho As he pulls into the parking lot On his brow a nervous sweat Can a man still keep his courage up While he's being whipped Now the lights over the stage are set They're suited up, and feeling real As the music starts they start to dance And he wears stiletto heels
