It's been a long time coming So you hit the ground running Got a new position for you With an old list of problems to get through 5 or 6 times a day Somebody tells you what to do 5 or 6 times a day You hear some things that are untrue You try to wade through the shit Your appointees add to it Admitting mistakes A noble gesture and a welcome change 5 or 6 times a day Somebody tells you what to do 5 or 6 times a day You hear some things that are untrue 5 or 6 times a day Somebody tells you what to do 5 or 6 times a day You hear some things that are untrue

Touting More! 01:50
lyrics
buy track
Day breaks on passed mistakes Paving way for future wrongs Cliff hanging seems like fun at first In the end you're just hanging on Locked in wait for a sign of fate Do we need something to believe A little more truth than old ways we knew A better way, fresh air to breath Touting more! Touting more! Than a one way ticket through a slowly revolving door Touting more! Touting more! Than those dead dreams and false hopes we had before We'll chug a couple more beers before we head outside Where the cold and harsh winds blow The road seems longer when it's so much less traveled I guess that's what makes it so The futures so bright, we're all carrying floodlights Could this be the end? Or a new beginning, through the tree's there's a forest But that don't mean that it is Touting more! Touting more! Than a one way ticket through a slowly revolving door Touting more! So much more! Than those dead dreams and false hopes we had before

St-Malo (Paul Song) 01:38
lyrics

Drinking alone I see Everything I used to be I know that you’ll never see Everything you meant to me So I’ll go on on my own Didn’t want to be alone But this is where you left me In complete misery Remember the Saint Malo The night I said I loved you Hit me so low You told me that you loved Paul And that I meant nothing at all So I’ll go on on my own Didn’t want to be alone But this is where you left me In complete misery I tried to move on with my life From what you did to me The scars too deep to hide Drinking alone I see Everything that I’ll never be So I’ll go on on my own Didn’t want to be alone But this is where you left me In complete misery

Checking Out the Dead 01:16
lyrics
buy track
It's 5 A.M in a coffee shop I must be a sight to see Trying to piece together whats left of my normality These people drone like zombies, maybe its just me All I know is instead of being in bed, I'm checking out the dead Checking out the dead Whistling past the graveyard with Tom Waits in my head Tombstones line these city streets the citizens lie within Speed kills but slowly I stagger around the bend The early bird catches the worm they said I'm checking out the dead Checking out the dead Things seem to be looking up the clouds are beginning to break Damn good thing 'cause i wasn't sure how much more that I could take Maybe it's the scenery maybe it's all just in my head But I feel so fucking alive, Checking out the dead Checking out the dead

Bad Decisions 02:49
lyrics
buy track
When our eyes met it felt like she had never left at all In the warm of her arms you’ll never hear my call And I know that it’s a bad idea but I’ll kiss her once again And I know that there’s pain waiting for you just around the bend But I’ll go thru with it deal with it a lesson never learned Here’s to Bad Decisions some pages just never turn The time that we spent lasted a quater of my life Avoided marriage and children my devotion wouldn't suffice Now I'm drownding in this bottle Sinking in this sand The bad decision I never made will be the dicision that kills this man And I know, too you it mean nothing at all And I’ll think twice, before I answer your calls And you know, to you it meant nothing at all So don’t even bother, don't even bother to call Cause I won’t fucken answer at all The day that she left there’s a lot that I had meant to say But I got drunk and fucked up that moment slipped away But I know that she’ll be back again and I’ll get my second chance To kill myself destroy myself over this lost romance And I’ll go thru with it, deal with it A lesson never learned Here’s to bad decisions some dumb asses never learn And I know, to you it mean nothing at all And I’ll think twice, before I answer your calls And you know, to you it meant nothing at all So don’t even bother Don't even bother to call Cause I won’t fucken answer at all I won’t answer at all I won’t answer at all Fuckin cunt don’t call Cause I won’t answer at all
