"Welcome to the Afterlife" This is the part of the book you don't want to read This is the line in the song you don't want to sing This is the part of the film you don't want to see This is the drug in your veins you don't want to need This is the chill in the air you don't want to breath This is the part of yourself you don't want to be This is the prisoner inside that you're setting free This is the moment in time you don't want to leave Run to the light Run to the light It'll be all right Just run to the light Welcome to the afterlife We've got infinite days And infinite nights All you overdoses and suicides There's no judgement here So dry your eyes Welcome to infinity There's so much here You just have to see And if you get the urge to fly Then just spread your wings and fly

"Eternal Damnation, My Summer Vacation" It's so ironic, so ironic, so narcotic You can't sleep Because I haven't slept in days You're broken hearted, broken hearted, I departed You can't eat I guess we all have our ways If you should finally find a much better time To lick your wounds The scars will be forming soon Tonight I stared directly into the mirror And saw so clear The devil was looking at me You want me, come get me Come and take me away I am my own bad dream today This universe is such a fucking mistake And I'm dead center of all of it Do you have anything to talk about? My vocabulary's running out So close the door when you are walking out It's getting colder by the hour And if you leave me now Forget everything that we talked about This town has really got me burning out One more thing you just ignored I'll admit It's kind of hard for me to give a shit You must think that I'm an idiot But I know what you're all about I've been told That it's not easy when you're growing old But when he hurts you don't come crawling back It's safe to say you're on your own I'll be fine I'll drown my sorrows in a box of wine I'll start all over with somebody else It always ends how it begins

"Famous Roadkill" If you try to tally up The people in this world That you find to confuse you I bet you make it to a million Then you'd see that you're Confusing too And if you ask yourself The question "Is there Something bigger I Should be doing?" Then there's a Dead horse that you're Beating while your Hairline is receding My friend So if you're feeling kinda lazy And you think you're going crazy No worries Everyone's a little bit insane, man It's the nature of the brain So it's fine Please don't wake me No don't shake me down I've gone crazy now If you try to make yourself Some money doing Something that you love Then forget it I think you should Consider yourself lucky Making money Doing something you hate And if you ask yourself the question "Why is life so damn depressing?" No worries Because there's a light at the end Of the tunnel however far it may seem So if you're feeling kinda whiny And you're feeling kinda tiny Then turn that frown upside down Everyone's a little bit grumpy When the road is kinda bumpy My friend

"The David Lynch Face" You know you can't kill yourself Just by holding your breath If it were really that easy We would be surrounded by death If I were just one more man Doing everything I can There would be two of me And maybe I could handle everything thrown at me And maybe I'd get a nap Because I'm so tired Of everyday being the same We live our lives And then we die and leave this place And all that's left is a name I swear I've tried everything And so I get on my knees I need my full concentration I'm not very good at this Dear god if you can hear me I'd like to know where the hell you've been This life has been the longest day ever I just want to know if I'm getting in Because I'm tired of making an effort And I'm sorry to throw this in your face You gave everyone I know a lifetime You gave me one long continuous day

"Undying Love" Will someone take me from this place? Can't seem to win this fucking race Can't take the bullshit, the feelings You're only repeating And I'm not believing And I'm not believing Death please take me in your Warm embrace My heart beats When you're with me And when you're gone I'm asleep I am just so glad to meet you So much I could eat you So much I could eat you So much I could eat you Then you'd be just like me I will eat your enemies Because I still need you around You're not just a piece of meat You're the sweetest girl in town First we kiss And then we feast You are beauty I'm the beast I want to tell you I love you While we're still young But my jaw's disconnected And I swallowed my tongue Life's a drag when you're deceased You make life worth dying for This world used to be such a bore I can go to sleep with a reason to wake up You're the one that I adore

"Duncan Road" Just hold still for now We're about to disappear I'm sure of it I know I felt this once When I was someone else I'm sure of it I saw this in a dream I could not control the scene If I'm slipping away Why is nobody listening? Cold and all alone Down this twisted road I need to find a place That I can call my home Woke up in the strangest place Where time does not exist I'm sure of it Step outside for some air They grab me by the hair I'm sure of it You're not welcome here They strike me in the face I swear I'm not the man They must be looking for Police came to take me away They cuff my hands and feet They hold my head And stuff me into the back seat

"Never Again Swanny, I'm Off the Skag" I've driven myself crazy over you these past few days It's commendable that you put up with my petty selfish ways I've written a thousand paragraphs on what it'd be like to die But it's nothing like the feeling I get when I catch your eye It's something like amazing when I pick up my guitar It's kind of like being sixteen again and wrecking your first car Sometimes I wish I could dream of you when you're not around It's hard being such a big fuck up in such a tiny town Well, I'll be right back when I say I need another fix today Another something to kill the pain A chemical for my already dysfunctional brain Somehow I'll mess things up And the gates of hell will open up A serious curse has been cast upon me Just let me sleep it off I just need another moment alone so I can sort things out I'd be all right if I could only dream of little fluffy clouds But things just aren't that simple, my dear Life is such a bitch One minute I'll be fine but then soon enough I've got the itch Smoke a pack of cigarettes, relax and I'll be fine Offer me a beer, I'll reply "Goddamn right, I'll take nine" So if you find me drunk somewhere and I say something wrong Just remember I mentioned this incident In this very fucking song

"Dance, Monster" Oh would he recognize The smell of your perfume on his skin? And does he realize Or comprehend Or care about The mess he's in? Do I alone possess The ability to turn back time? And do I have the power To just mend This broken heart of mine? My apologies if this is too much For your ears to bear But the thought Of his dirty fingers just Running through your hair Keeps me up at night The coldest sweat My ears begin to ring And the pathetic look Upon his face To you as his lips are singing La de da de da Things will be all right La de da de da Let's not be alone tonight And all the nicotine Or ephedrine Cannot erase His face So I imagine Him alone In some dark, deserted place As the radio continues to Be playing for only me Doris Day just fades away And is replaced by jealousy Que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be And if you leave me now I swear You'd better hide out somewhere I will come looking, my dear I saw the skin on your arm that you burn With cigarettes Playing off insecurities And playing with their heads And I see right through the jar I keep On the nightstand by my bed With your eyes inside I see through the lies Because I plucked them From your head And so Dance, Monster Dance to my lullaby of hate As I fire bullets at your feet I declare your fate And you'll beg for mercy Plea for a chance to be free But I swear I'll make you feel Every ounce of pain That you caused me

"My Heroin" This time I’ve gotta get out I need turned around What’s lost, never found Make time for love in a jar A vacation on Mars With broken guitars And we don’t ask you to be free… My friend, you’re just like me… This time I’ll never look back An easy escape A panic attack Sit tight you’ll be just like us We know you don’t mind No need to discuss We don’t ask you to be free… My friend, you’re just like me… And I’d give it all away To feel like I was yesterday I don’t need these broken dreams They all just fade to memory…

"Sweet Little White Thing" Charging born through sinking shell Glowing from hatred’s mask Gazing for feel impaled and lifeless Above the mud Fucked up ripples of sorrows Surfing soiled feet Sweet sweet little white thing Shimmering beyond the trees I’m stuck And finally I’m set free to wander Afraid to ponder why Why we have to die Let me have this dance I’m sinking we all have lost Break a window Climb a ladder to the sky When you get one good look Do your best not to fall And tell me what it’s like What it’s like to fly I’m stuck And finally I’m set free to wander Afraid to ponder why Why we have to die Dry your tears I’m happy You should be smiling too My sweet sweet little white thing One of these days you’ll feel it through the skin So strap on your deathtrap seatbelt And we’ll drive to the stars Kill your problems swallow your pride We’re going to take things way too far I’m stuck And finally I’m set free to wander Afraid to ponder why Why we have to die

"The Devil Asked Me Nicely" Calm me down When I really need you around But don't forget the emptiness Of this fucking town I was high Higher than I've ever been I thought I saw You dying Dying from within I could fly But really don't think I should Unless when I start I try to take off from the ground Don't try to save me Somewhere I got lost along the way And don't try to talk to me I won't believe a goddamn word you say Tell me you love me Whatever gets you through this rotten day Feels I haven't slept in years And I remember how lonely I am Every time you look at me Say goodbye To everything you've been "dreaming of" But don't forget The man The man you used to "love" When I look into the mirror I see looking back at me A tired, withered soul No older than twenty three I've got scars all over my body And blisters all over my feet My reputation's seen better days And I hate everyone I meet But everything is fine We'll talk about it some other time I know you all have your doubts But it's just something I should figure out On my own Ever since you came around You'd kill everything you see If the eyes are really windows to the soul Well then you killed something inside of me And then you kicked me while I was down I was so much happier when you weren't around And if it'll help you to finally move on I'll pack up and I'll move out of this town I'm sure of it Your love is just another warm body Eventually it's going to rot Despite everything good that you said that I lack You're still the best friend I've got So when you see me I won't know what to say This sort of shit happens to me everyday When you don't need what you don't know you can have I suppose my life's a little something like that But I'm used to it And I'm constantly reminded that one day I will die So it's no wonder why I'm such a fucking paranoid guy When we both lay down to sleep at the end of the night You'll continue suffering and I'll be all right

"One Last Regret" Sell your soul Nobody will have to know And come with me To a place No one dares to go Hand in hand We'll make our way Across this land Where the angels and devils All hide their faces If you can't Find your way back to me Try to be happy There comes a time in our lives Where we all have to spend the night alone

666 Would I be out of line if I asked you to hold my hand? It's getting dark outside The sun will never shine As long as I am alive My whole world will crumble The days will turn into night And I'll give up the fight If I could travel back in time I'd make every single one of you cry And you would all remember my name We could have been the best of friends I would have been a better person then But I believed you when you'd say "It'll be all right" I've got a pocket full of bad ideas And countless reasons just for me To carry out the best mistakes And faultlessly claim insanity I've got six six six the number of the Beast that lives inside my head Printed like a bad tattoo Indicating I'm already dead I've got a real bad temper and a loaded gun But I never meant to hurt anyone It helps to not take me so goddamn Seriously I'm not as bas as It seems like no one really understands When it all falls down on me Sometimes I tend to not know My own strength when it comes to Writing words If I'm tearing you apart in your mind In mine, I'm doing the best to put my Best foot forward Lost my mind Take no prisoners Leave none behind

"The Apocalullaby" When the sky opens up I'll take you high above the clouds When the toy soldiers bring their bombs I'll play this song twice as loud When the final drop of blood Evaporates from the earth You still won't see how bad it kills me When you hurt When the final sunset Brings us to the end of the world I'll still be a little boy And you'll still be a little girl When the demons come To remind us all of what we have done No matter how much more I lose I know I've already won And gravity will soon Take our flesh and pull it Further and further down But I will love you Long after we are Six feet underground

"Sleep Well, Motherfucker" We are consequence Sometimes evidence America’s most wanted A place that we’ve forgotten Funny how everything is mine Smile friend, time to die Stick a needle in your eye America’s most wanted A place that we’ve forgotten Funny how everything is mine …Funny how everything is mine Time goes by but I can’t read your mind As I stare out of the window My reflection seems so useless That’s what it takes to try to move the stone And I’m broke… And I’m broke…

One Last Request If I don’t live to see Tomorrow come Bury me face down underground So the demons can see my face I’ll stare back quietly Wielding silent laughter If I don’t make it through The night don’t cry Just look in my eyes tonight We’re doomed to die But this moment is etched in time Sound off the lullaby This is do or die If you can’t Somehow bring yourself to understand Feel free to dig up my bones So you don’t have to spend the night alone Feel free to dig up my bones So you don’t have to spend the night alone If I leave you while you have Bitter thoughts Please don’t feel sorrow It’s not my time to go But you never know Sleep here beside me And we’ll see tomorrow If I don’t open my (open my eyes) My love goes out to you They say a photograph Is worth a thousand laughs But the memory a thousand tears So raise all your glasses And look back on all my years If you can’t Somehow bring yourself to understand Feel free to dig up my bones So you don’t have to spend the night alone Feel free to dig up my bones So you don’t have to spend the night alone
