Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

 I declare I don't care no more

I'm burning up and out and growing bored

 In my smoked out boring room

My hair is shagging in my eyes

Dragging my feet to hit the street tonight

 To drive along these shit town lights

Chorus

I'm not growing up

 I'm just burning out

 And I stepped in line

 to walk amongst the dead

Verse

Apathy has rained on me

Now I'm feeling like a soggy dream

 So close to drowning but I don't mind

 I've lived inside this mental cave

Throw my emotions in the grave

 Hell, who needs them anyway

Chorus

I'm not growing up

 I'm just burning out

 And I stepped in line

 to walk amongst the dead

I'm not growing up

 I'm just burning out

 And I stepped in line

 to walk amongst the dead

dead...

x4

Chorus

I'm not growing up

 I'm just burning out

 And I stepped in line

 to walk amongst the dead

I'm not growing up

 I'm just burning out

 And I stepped in line

 to walk amongst the dead

dead...

Track 2: Having A Blast

Intro

x4

Verse

 I'm taking all you down with me

 Explosives duct taped to my spine

Nothings gonna change my mind

 I won't listen to anyone's last words

 There's nothing left for you to say

Soon you'll be dead anyway

Chorus

No one here is getting out alive

 This time I've really lost my mind and I don't care

 So close your eyes

 And kiss yourself goodbye

 And think about the times you spent and what they've meant

 To me it's nothing...

 To me it's nothing...

 To me it's nothing...

 To me it's nothing...

Verse

 I'm losing all my happiness

 The happiness you pinned on me

Loneliness still comforts me

 My anger dwells inside of me

 I'm taking it all out on you

And all the shit you put me through

Chorus

No one here is getting out alive

 This time I've really lost my mind and I don't care

 So close your eyes

 And kiss yourself goodbye

 And think about the times you spent and what they've meant

 To me it's nothing...

 To me it's nothing...

 To me it's nothing...

 To me it's nothing...

Bridge

Do you ever think back to another time?

Does it bring you so down that you thought you lost your mind?

Outro

Do you ever want to lead a long trail of destruction

 and mow down any bullshit that confronts you?

Do you ever build up all the small things in your head?

 To make one problem that adds up to nothing

 To me it's nothing...

 To me it's nothing...

 To me it's nothing...

Track 3: Chump

Intro

: x2

Verse

I don't know you

But,I think I HATE you

You're the reason for my misery

Strange how you've become

 my biggest enemy

And I've never even seen your face

Chorus

Maybe it's just jealousy

 Mixing up with a violent mind

 A circumstance that doesn't make much sense

 Or maybe I'm just dumb

(Repeat Intro)

Verse

You're the cloud hanging out over my head

Hail comes crashing down

 welting my face

Magic man, egocentric plastic man

Yet you still get one over on me

Chorus

Maybe it's just jealousy

 Mixing up with a violent mind

 A circumstance that doesn't make much sense

 Or maybe I'm just dumb

Track 4: Longview

Verse

Sit around and watch the tube, but nothing's on

I change the channels for an hour or two

Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit

I'm sick of all the same old shit

In a house with unlocked doors

 And I'm fucking lazy

Chorus

Bite my lip and close my eyes

 Take me away to paradise

 I'm so damn bored I'm going blind

 And I smell like shit

Verse

Peel me off this Velcro seat and get me moving

I sure as hell can't do it by myself

I'm feeling like a dog in heat

Barred indoors from the summer street

I locked the door to my own cell

 And I lost the key

Chorus

Bite my lip and close my eyes

 Take me away to paradise

 I'm so damn bored I'm going blind

 And I smell like shit

Bridge

I got no motivation

Where is my motivation?

No time for the motivation

Smoking my inspiration

Verse

Sit around and watch the phone, but no one's calling

Call me pathetic, call me what you will

My mother says to get a job

But she don't like the one she's got

When masturbation's lost its fun

 You're fucking lonely

Chorus

Bite my lip and close my eyes

 Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn bored

 I'm going blind

 And loneliness has to suffice

Bite my lip and close my eyes

 I was slipping away to paradise

Some say, "Quit or I'll go blind."

 But it's just a myth

Verse

Dear mother,

Can you hear me whining?

It's been three whole weeks

 Since that I have left your home'

This sudden fear has left me trembling

 a wasteland I like to call my home

 Welcome To Paradise

Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own

It makes me wonder why I'm still here

For some strange reason it's now

Feeling like my home

 And I'm never gonna go

And the broken homes

Some call it the slums

 Some call it nice

Dear mother,

Feeling like my home

 And I'm never gonna go

And the broken homes

Some call it the slums

 Some call it nice

I'm all busted up

Track 7: Basket Case

Verse

Do you have the time

 To listen to me whine

 About nothing and everything

 All at once

I am one of those

 Melodramatic fools

 Neurotic to the bone

 No doubt about it

Chorus

Sometimes I give myself the creeps

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

It all keeps adding up

 I think I'm cracking up

 Am I just paranoid?

x2

Am I just stoned?

Verse

 I went to a shrink

 To analyze my dreams

 She says it's lack of sex

 That's bringing me down

 She said my life's a bore

 So quit my whining cause

 It's bringing her down

Chorus

Sometimes I give myself the creeps

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

It all keeps adding up

 I think I'm cracking up

Grasping to control

So I better hold on

Track 8: She

Verse

She...

 She screams in silence

 A sullen riot penetrating through her mind

Waiting for a sign

 To smash the silence with the brick of self-control

Chorus

Are you locked up in a world

 That's been planned out for you?

Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?

Scream at me until my ears bleed

 I'm taking heed just for you

Verse

She...

 She's figured out

 All her doubts were someone else's point of view

Waking up this time

 To smash the silence with the brick of self-control

Are you locked up in a world

 That's been planned out for you?

Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?

Scream at me until my ears bleed

 I'm taking heed just for you

all the way across town

Track 11: Coming Clean

Seventeen and strung out on confusion

Trapped inside a roll of disillusion

 I found out what it takes to be a man

 Well, Mom and Dad will never understand

Secrets collecting dust but never forget

SKELETONS come to LIFE in my closet

 I found out what it takes to be a man

 Well, Mom and Dad will never understand

(SOLO BEGINS)

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME

Seventeen and COMING CLEAN for the first time

 I found out what it takes to be a man

 Well, Mom and Dad will never understand

Anybody ever say no?

Ever tell you that you weren't right?

Where did all the little kid go?

And you know it's true

(Repeat Chorus)

LYRICS

I saw my friend the other day and I don't know

Exactly just what he became

It goes to show

It wasn't long ago

I was just like you

And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home

How have I been,how have you been

It's been so long

What have you done with all your time

And what went wrong

I knew you back when

And you ... you knew me

And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home

Anybody ever say no?

Ever tell you that you weren't right?

Where did all the little kid go?

Did you lose it in a hateful fight?

And you know it's true

It wasn't long ago

I was just like you

And now I think you're sick and I wanna go home

Track 13: In The End

Verse

All brawn and no brains

 And all those nice things

 You FINALLY got what you want

Someone to look good with

AND light your cigarette

Is this what you really want?

Chorus

I figured out what you're all about

 And I don't think I like what I see

SOOOOO ...

 I HOPE I won't be there in the end

 if you come around.

How long will he last

Before he's a CREEP in the past

And you're alone once again?

Will you pop up AGAIN and be my

"SPECIAL FRIEND" 'till the end?

And when will that be?

I figured out what you're all about

And I don't think I like what I see

SOOOOO ...

I HOPE I won't be there in the end

if you come around.

I figured out what you're all about

And I don't think I like what I see

SOOOOO ...

I HOPE I won't be there in the end

if you come around.

Track 14: F.O.D.

Something's on my mind

It's been for quite some time

 This time I'm on to you

 So where's the other face?

 The face I heard before

 Your head trip's boring me

Pre-chorus

Let's nuke the bridge we torched

 2,000 times before

This time we'll blast it all to hell

I've had this burning in my guts now

 for so long

My belly's aching now to say

Stuck down in a rut of dislogic and smut

 A side of you well hid

When it's all said and done

it's real and it's been fun

 But was it all REAL fun

Let's nuke the bridge we torched

 2,000 times before

This time we'll blast it all to hell

All By Myself (Hidden Track)

Intro

 No one was looking, I was thinking of you

 Oh yeah, did I mention

 I was all by myself

 All by myself...

 All by myself...

 All by myself...

You and me had

 Such wonderful times

 When I'm all by myself,

 All by myself

[repeat several times]
