you told me “Remember:
they're the ones in suit and ties who ruined the world bro
and not the ones like us with tattooed arms and piercings
They don't know what they're missing”
I told you Remember, if ink was something that connected us I'd be sharing
your faithful views, your heart shaped eyes, your pure enchantment
But I laugh at everything
and you can't stand it
You gotta remember I haven't planned anything out on my next levels
I've been unsatisfied till I found love and friendship, and not a good job
I'll surely remember that time we met I thought you were looking so older
You looked at me like you would look to an engine failure, thanks for having kids for me
Anyway
fuck a lifetime in the same place, fuck the kids because it's time
fuck the little house on prairie, fuck the movie on Friday night
fuck generically listening to music 'cause they taught you so
fuck a fancy place for cocktails, fuck being stuck in the same job
for forty years until you get sick fuck the car and fuck the bank
fuck “I'm trying to eat less meat” just because you think I care
and fuck “i know a place that serves fish with no credit cards inside”
I wanna see City Life burn like a cigarette
the fire squad on strike when downtown is gone
'cause when you stop growing you start dying

Everybody Stays

Alex was pointing his knife to our throats as a game
He was having fun but I wasn't feeling the same
the next day Mosquito beated him up with a stick
and I found it hilarious
I learned the truth about him when I was seventeen
Because everybody stays
“Nice jacket man, that's a hell of a mohawk
If you need anything to smoke, just come with me”
I answered “no man, I don't smoke weed”
then a friend murmured “smart choice”
I learned the truth about him when I was twenty-three
Because everybody stays
Jose sold all the cd's he borrowed from me
Mark hit me with his scissors and Jody left
Max didn't say a word and Sadie broke my heart
I learned the truth about them when I was growing up
Because everybody stays

Oh shit, again! could be the title of my memoirs
Oh shit again why I don't I ever learn a lesson
Here we go again with someone I thought I could trust for real
You were already gone before you disappeared
you adult springbreakers, you sunday risk-takers
fuck your birthday party and birthday clowns
after all the time time you were not around
after that stench of chemicals got stuck in my beard
I'm not yours
wanna clean up? beer doesn't work
You put the “fun” in “disfunctional” and “funeral” too
and you know what, strangely enough I blamed myself too
Like it was hard to make me feel I was the wrong one
Like you ever cared or ever dared to just be honest
you adult springbreakers, you sunday risk-takers
fuck your birthday party and birthday clowns
after all the time time you were not around
after that stench of chemicals got stuck in my beard
I'm not yours
wanna clean up? beer doesn't work
And everytime I end up lights up on my ceiling
Trying to forgive or to forget instead of sleeping
I wish I was like my anecdotes, like when I drink wine
I wish I never needed help or you didn't see me crying
you adult springbreakers, you sunday risk-takers
fuck your birthday party and birthday clowns
after all the time time you were not around
after that stench of chemicals got stuck in my beard
I'm not yours
wanna clean up? beer doesn't work

Chloracne

Leather boy's digging in his pockets
he doesn't have enough for both a beer and a rocket
I'm a honest motherfucker I hide waiting
to spot a friend behind the bar
and there's us
we thought a place like that could never die
you stupid middle class kids
getting all scared for a couple of junkies
go tell your friend the police and convince
yourself you're keeping it safe
and there's us
we don't go watch the kids fights anymore
they say that every place you leave will leave a scar
just like chloracne
just like chloracne it's there to stay
they say that everywhere you leave will leave a scar
just like chloracne it never goes away
there's fire at the 22
landlord's on the phone asking everything's ok
his lawyer comes next just to make sure
he's not the one to blame
and there's us
it could have been so fucking worse that day
some friends are getting sad and then
some others don't care
some friends handle me money
but this one's on me
and there's us
we're not leaving a fucking ugly place ya know?
hey say that every place you leave will leave a scar
just like chloracne
just like chloracne it's there to stay
they say that everywhere you leave will leave a scar
just like chloracne it never goes away
and if regretting was a crime
then I'm guilty
so many years have passed me by
so many years have passed me by
and if regretting was a crime
then arrest me
I wish I never did that
I wish I did that before
hey say that every place you leave will leave a scar
just like chloracne
just like chloracne it's there to stay
they say that everywhere you leave will leave a scar
just like chloracne it never goes away

They say that I'm getting skinnier and skinnier
and I'm ready for the swimming suit and I'm ready for the swimming suit
They say that I'm getting skinnier and skinnier
I feel ready for the fancy suit I feel ready for the wooden suit
You're gonna miss me when I'll fly away
I will be gone next month these days
I'm not gonna make it through summer
They say that I'm getting skinnier and skinnier
I remind 'em of all my paychecks
I remind 'em of all my paychecks
It's not that bad getting skinnier and skinnier
'cuz it's easier to get through the doors
they're fucking slamming on my face
you're gonna miss me when I'll say goodbye
but all you're giving me is cries
so keep on crying
oh Jesus if I had a dime for every counter offer
I'd be living on the street

May this vodka and campari choke me
May this vodka and campari choke me up
If I don't regret it, and if I don't wanna restart all my clocks
May this gin and Campari burn my guts
May this sweet little line help me find the right way
May this Tennent's and whiskey drive my car
'Cause all this keeping inside will eventually bring to a cut
to a hemorragy
Dear brother I'm so sick and I'm sorry
'cuz I keep lying to you as I'm lying to myself
Dear lover I'm so sorry and I'm sick
'cuz I'm lying to myself as I'm lying to you
May the seventeenth beer be the lucky one
may those cops and their cars fall of a bridge
I was colouring everything, then I spilled black ink everywhere
like a hemorragy
Dear brother I'm so sick and I'm sorry
'cuz I keep lying to you as I'm lying to myself
Dear lover I'm so sorry and I'm sick
'cuz I'm lying to myself as I'm lying to you
They're pushing they're screaming
sometimes they find way out
they're starving, I hydrate them
and put forks in their mouth
THE DEMONS WE'RE TRYING TO HOLD INSIDE
THEY COME OUT FOR DINNER AND EAT US ALIVE

two months without money
and what have you been up to?
“You should call my accountant
you can tell him I know you”
who could imagine
we'd grow to be just total strangers
nothing to share, two different people
and a different language
two months without money
but still hanging in there
eyes full of compassion
don't you know that shit happens
who could imagine
we'd grow to be just total strangers
nothing to share, two different people
and a different language
no matter what we do
away we are wasting

I know they're liars I know they're thieves
I know they steal candies from kids
I know they kidnap kids from schools
I know they make and break the rules
I know I know I know
I don't need anything else to prove them wrong
I know I know I know
I don't wanna wait again for another own goal
The floor is lava, the floor is fire
the floor is basic human rights
I know they hide behind those lies
the rotten apple lullabies
I know I know I know
I don't need anything else to prove them wrong
I know I know I know
I don't wanna wait again for another own goal
when a shark eats a kid
or a mantis fucks and kills
I don't call it a fucking scandal'cuz I know I know I know I know I know
nothing is more suspicious than an open minded Pope
nothing is more suspicious than a fascist who needs to talk
nothing is more suspicious than a pig that doesn't squeal
nothing is more suspicious, so why d'ya still believe?

Luke doesn't like the Ramones
but I don't care at all he's like the greatest person I know
We've been through a lot
We learned what we've got ain't always enough
When the shit hits the fan the others surrender
while we go on and shower
when shit hits the fan we'll teach them a lesson
don't fuck with the bike punks
WHEN LIFE HANDLES US CHAIRS WE FUCKING STAND UP
WHEN LIFE HANDLES US CHAIRS WE FUCKING BURN THEM
ONE BY ONE
Luke didn't like his old job
So he decided to quit and break out the shell he built up
He's out to explore
I couldn't love him any better
When the shit hits the fan the others surrender
while we go on and shower
when shit hits the fan we'll teach them a lesson
don't fuck with the bike punks
WHEN LIFE HANDLES US CHAIRS WE FUCKING STAND UP
WHEN LIFE HANDLES US CHAIRS WE FUCKING BURN THEM
ONE BY ONE
When you stop growing you start dying

The police showed up my dreams
Taught me a severe lesson with batons
I woke up checking for bruises
when it was only 2.39
then I focused on oxygen and
how it made its way through my body
Fell asleep and woke up at 3.00
When I started dreaming 'bout money
well actually, payments
I rolled on the side for the tenth time
Then I realised I was short in time
To write down a setlist for that show
that's happening on 29th
I don't care if today is the 12th
Sleep's for the weak and art never dies
Tomorrow's another day
with pain in my bones and blood in my eyes
Fuck, this can't be safe
And I found myself thinking about
the time I bowed down instead of making my way with a knife
And then I argued with you all night long
over things that happened like ten years ago
and then I thought then I thought
that life is all bills and no fun until you die
you die

My clock rings off at 6 AM again
and my brake light needs to be repaired
and there's always rent and bills to pay
like it's all figured like it's a normal day
can't you feel it's all a big mistake
and nothing really happens this way?
And there's no one here to stop our pain
they look like throwing spare change and walk away
I wish I could have stopped the world
but I had to ask for permission to see you
and I had to make phone calls to say goodbye to you
No one in this wold seems to care about you
you can't feed me hugs and act like nothing changed
I wonder why the hell they didn't close the schools
How didn't your life celebration made the headlines
it's all wrong if you think I can do this
that going on will ease our pain away
I wish I could have stopped the world
but I had to ask for permission to see you
and I had to make phone calls to say goodbye to you
No one in this wold seems to care about you
when the pope died they cried for a month
while this one never seemed to happen
or at least only in our chests
and it was more important than a million popes dying
I REALLY WISH
I DID SOME MORE
MY DEAREST FRIEND
I'VE TRIED TO BE THERE
AS MUCH AS I COULD
IT WAS SO HARD TO SEE YOU THAT WAY
SAYING GOODBYE AND MEANING SO LONG

Ground Zero
03:04

I've tried to prove myself that I ain't no piece of shit
and I've tried to see the sun from a puddle on the street
oh I've tried I've tried I've tried
I've tried so bad
I've tried to stretch my back and throw my chin up in the sky
Just to find myself watching above from 2 ft 5
oh I've tried I've tried I've tried
I've tried again
you don't matter they don't give a shit about you
Ground zero ain't got shit on me
I've tried to prove myself that my art is at least fine
then I look at all those pages I just slam-dunked in the fire
they mean everything I do is a joke
I can barely stand phone calls not to mention interviews
I don't ask in supermarkets if I can't find any food
And if they laugh at me they're right
you don't matter they don't give a shit about you
Ground zero ain't got shit on me
Sometimes believe it or not
two good looking eyes are not enough

My legs were both broken
and I asked me to dance
and when the song was over
I've been the worst of my friends
I'm like watching a movie
through the cracks in my hands
will they teach me resilience?
Will they just bleed to death?
But as the sun dies
and the town lights up
I'm just 24 hours closer, 24 hours closer
and sometimes I feel like I'm watching life x4
Sometimes I just feel nothing, sometimes I'm all about myself
and I feel the same
as the sun dies
and the town lights up
I'm just 24 hours closer, 24 hours closer
It'll read on a stone, or a vase on shelf
“He was nice to everybody, but himself”
