Freak 03:40
Come to me dark and dangerous, take me to your bed Leave my love song unfinished to mess with your head I keep a box of all your stolen things Memorabilia from fast food chains You were the first I felt I could explain Myself to someone without feeling shame Tie me up! Force me to settle down Exotic ways to express my pain and rage So please just help me out I’m a freak Freak! Freak! My friends will never know me, left at my own will Anorexic control freak, addict selling pills I can’t take naps I think they’re disgusting I can’t relax the stillness tortures me I wake up laughing to my morbid dreams They’re much too close to this reality Tie me up! Force me to settle down Exotic ways to express my pain and rage So please just help me out I’m so damn bored Of wishing I were dead So don’t let up, I just want to kick and scream Fight for my life instead Break free

Punk Song 01:59
It was over before it began We decided we should just be friends You were a mess, so was I But love’s just another way, love’s just another way To get high!! Sometimes I sit and wonder what kind of lover you are We’re not right for each other so I will ignore my heart Oooooooooo ooooo!! Oooooooooo ooooo!! I’m allergic to your bedroom smell And my dog makes your eyes itch and swell Still we’re sleeping in each other’s beds Still pretending that we are just sober and safe from lust Supportive friends !! Sometimes I sit and wonder what kind of lover you are Well we’re not right for each other so I will ignore my heart It seems we need one another, what if I start to want more? Well I’m holding it together lying on your studio floor Oooooo ooooooooo… It was over before it began It was over before it began It was over before it began It was over before it began

Ultimatum 03:05
Ultimatum You took my power Described as choice Manipulation You gave me the power To destroy your life And she drove her car right across the line My own mother said "Hey kids you want to die?" And now that's how I learned to compromise I learned to compromise Do what you're told Do what you're told Now that I'm older I've broke every promise and rule thus far And all my lovers Like a carousel of broken hearts So I drove my car right across the line Said I...have to choose, I choose suicide Cuz now that's how I learned to compromise I just can't compromise Now I'm alone I'm all alone.

We’re little broken clocks, pinned up against the wall My hands no longer move toward you and we haven’t clicked in awhile I keep staring at the time, and know that it’s a lie It’s funny how long we wait for feelings to show up too late Well I’m chasing after the drug induced laughter we found in my draining bathtub And all my connections are short lived obsessions that I run from when I get bored And I sing this song – For you to prove I’m not heartless I loved you all along – It was true, but I never said it And maybe you’re singing along – To this tune but I’ll never know ‘cause You have moved on And I’m here still making the same mistakes I no longer drive my car drunk home from the bar And I’m safely using knives and I think you would think that is nice And the seatbelt light still blinks to the passenger seat As if you just left this ride, haunted by your stable beat. Well I wrote you a message buried in a notebook left in your bag you brought on tour And I don’t think you found it and now I’m regretting this feeling that you never will. And I sing this song – For you to prove I’m not heartless I loved you all along – It was true, but I never said it And maybe you’re singing along – To this tune but I’ll never know ‘cause You have moved on – And I’m here still making the same mistakes I know, I know, I know this I know, I know, I know this! And I wrote this song – For you my one big regret it I love you all along – It was cruel that I never said it And maybe you're singing along – If it’s true I don’t want to know ‘cause. Now I’ve moved on – Someone new...I’m making the same mistakes.

I gave up the fight Of seeking for something, someone, anything To shake me, get me high. It makes this easier, makes it easy for me Well I was doing just fine, on my own, not searching for... I will be okay if I don't think too much about it You will be okay if you doing think too much about it We will be okay if we don't think to much about this Not working out I will be okay if I don't think too much about it You will be okay if you doing think too much about it We will be okay if we don't think to much about this Not working out I'm falling in love Sick and twisted life I should by now be buried but so should you, come Under full moon light Surrounded by these graves, here with you I feel alive I didn't even try I found what I was not searching for I will be okay if I don't think too much about it You will be okay if you doing think too much about it We will be okay if we don't think to much about this Not working out I will be okay if I don't think too much about it You will be okay if you doing think too much about it We will be okay if we don't think to much about this Not working out I'm falling in love I’m falling in love I guess for you I'll try this one more time.

Just Leave 03:54
I drank the kool-aid and died thinking I could be saved By the man at the bar promising me fame And every night he made a scene We left before my friends could see him screaming He’d come at me screaming. I took one more for the wrong team – I lost my mind to loyalty Believing the lies he was feeding Well deceived – By schemes – Deceived – By schemes He broke my keyboard that night before I went onto stage (told me I was to blame) The same man from the bar now threatening, callin’ me names And if I go you still can live Not fair to me to think of this as breathing Just gotta keep breathing. And when I leave I’ll make a plan to heal myself and start again Believing that I can just leave him And be free – Just leave Just leave (No more fights, restless nights, helpless cries, for your life) Just leave (You can leave, just believe, you’re worth more) Just leave! Just leave! My best friend said “bite the hand that feeds” Well I’ll do it but instead I’ll bite the hand that’s starving me Now you’re married and I pray she’s safer Than I was with you restrained by order And I have one chip left on my shoulder The one they gave me for staying sober Just breathe Just breathe

Bad Habits 03:39
I went to the desert To have a good cry Brought with me my music To help me say goodbye ‘Cause I’m grieving bad habits Grieving bad habits I walk my tiger Six times a day I’ll do it forever Or maybe just for today ‘Cause I’m grieving bad habits Grieving bad habits You run away but you never arrive Those demons you've buried are right by your side Well maybe your mind’s playing tricks on you And if you forget just remember this tune Let it carry you Carry you through ‘Cause I’m grieving bad habits Grieving bad habits Grieving bad habits Grieving bad habits
