Not on the radio (not on the radio) I’m not on TV (not on the tv) Not on the stereo (not on the stereo) And so you can’t see me (so you can't see me) I should have have told you that you and I were through I guess that there's not much a guy like me can do You call out and I'm not there so you let out a sigh You should go find yourself another sissy guy You can't see me now I'm everywhere you go I can't show you how just thought you'd like to know I don't know who you are (who you are) I don't know what you've heard (what you've heard) My car and my guitar and Picadilly 3rd I tried to call you say I'm sorry I tried to call you to say I'm guilty I tried to call you but pride won't let me so i'll just drown you in gin and whiskey I built up this wall made it brick by brick made it six feet tall you still see over it I wrote you these words and I hope they stick You made up your bed now you can sleep in it You can't see me now I'm everywhere you go I can't show you how just thought you'd like to know That I'm gone...

I wish that I could wake up alive like yesterday I couldn't see past my nose I couldn't see anyway You weren't even there you were not right Once I was out of your hair you were out of sight Breathing in your curls and peppermint tea And all those things that you said really get to me I'm sorry I set off all those fireworks But being quite upset is one of those cruel perks Breathing in your curls and peppermint tea And all those things that you said really get to me So even if I wake up alive like yesterday The only thing that keeps me sleeping Is knowing you're away (knowing you're away)

Please don't tell me all of your darkest secrets Please don't tell me 'cause it's none of my bussiness Lying on the bathroom floor Is a girl spitting up her heart all over me You've lost your senses they're lying on the tiles Fireworks and blush bleed into your hairstyles My eyes are livid with all this running through I'm trapped here suffocating in this tiny room Another bad New Year's Packed like sardines into my car She kissed me goodbye without a trace left of love in her heart I saw the explosions in the sky as I drove away You've lost your senses they're lying on the tiles Fireworks and blush bleed into your hairstyles My ears are arid but yours are running red Your breath is vodka it's spinning through your head So scrape yourself off of the floor Your eyes are beginning to rust I heard the drainage run all through your hair Your eyes are purple purple with lust You've lost your senses they're lying on the tiles Fireworks and blush bleed into your hairstyles With bitten fingernails and cutting to the chase You could've told me all this in a better place

Overdosing on the paranoia The bureaucrat's finger is on the red button We're harbingers of our self destruction Help us out don't be late Time will help seal our fate From your lips a single word Whispers that go unheard Signals fading through the interference Now it's too late with no warnings to heed us All your prayers they won't make a difference Help us out don't be late Time will help seal our fate Hold the blade to my wrist Drag is right over it See the blood flow right out Hold my wounds as I pass out Lay me down in pools of red Fold my arms and kiss my head (repeat) Thorazine please come and dance with me Waltz to the melody of sleepless sorrow Stay with me live in my fantasy How pretty life could be if we wake up tomorrow

Whiteout 03:18
When the snow first fell it was such a novelty But now it's been a month or so and I'm pretty sure you're through with me It was so pure when it fell on your doorstep But now I'm in too deep and I can't take one more step I walked to your house with the snow falling silently And each city block I passed it felt like an eternity You leave in the fall these days that's all you talk about Like the night I called to say I'd come to find you through the whiteout I tried so hard to know what you wanted I tried so hard to be who you wanted I tried so hard to live the way you wanted I tried so hard to be who you wanted (break it off break break it off)

Look out I'm exploding in my head I had to break out now the windows are all busted Open the door gotta face what's out there are you ready we need you to be there Look up do you think it'll be the same look ahead in one year what have we gained I'm still lost and you don't know my name but I guess that's the nature of this game I wanna yell (I wanna yell I wanna yell but there's no breath in my lungs) I would write (I wold write I would write if there were ink in my pen) No going back (No going back no going back now the damage is donw) This battles over (The battles over but the party has just begun) If you play with fire you might get burned Work hard if you wanna get ahead But if you fall asleep with a gun in your mouth You just might wake up with a bullet inside your head I've got thoughts in my brain but my tongue is out of words So here I'm gonna break down at the end of this song Oh no hear we go what's wrong with me I speak again and again I just mispeak What is this for are you trying to help me I wish you'd back off with all the questioning Messed up why is all of this all so hard I wish in real life you could really just press restart We're still lost we're still not eye to eye better count our losses and say goodbye (repeat "I wanna yell..." and "If you play with fire...") I've got thoughts in my brain but my tongue is out of words So here I'm gonna break down right here right about now

Another Goddamn emo song Crying in the basement with the lights off I could find a dark corner in a well lit circular room Well how's that for you baby Oh you know it's alright with me Don't stare at me I just like to kiss other guys For the fun for the pleasure for the attention Let me be alone with the voices in my mind Telling me I've got to wear those tight shirts and girl's pants You don't know me don't pretend that you do Nobody does nobody gets me noone understand I sit at home all night and feel sorry for myself So don't pretend that you know me 'cause you never will The second verse for me so let's try this again You call me liar but I invented This look and this hair and this trend I swear Check out these tunes with no variety About the things you said and how they get to me Now let me see you c'mon and show me how Show me some moves and dance around now (dance dance dance) (repeat chorus) Pompeii we gonna rock the beat Jae Money got that flow from the street Mix a little rap rock n' roll wait for the beat lock and load Two different worlds apart here merged into one like Jay Z Linkin Park We swim in the big league yall fish we a bunch of shark hump in the dark Put us up against that competition we will not fail our mission We turn it up burn it up like pots boiling in the kitchen One stop from the top of the ladder do it like us nobody badder Hear a lot of talk stop the chatter you know who it is so scream it louder (repeat chorus)

La Sombra 03:50
La sombra que cubre nosotros Cuando regresamos a la tiera La sombra y el oscuridad La sombra que cubre nosotros Al anochecer quando el sol regresa A la tierra hemos vivideo y muerto Otra vez The sun goes down and you lose your mind (choro) You say goodbye to friends left behind (choro) Cross your heart and you hope to die (choro) You convince yourself as you rehearse this lie (choro) The sun goes down and comes back again (choro) And oh my God isn't it a shame (choro) That all you've lost and all you've gained (choro) Goes through the wash and comes out the same (choro)

You like to smoke on the side And go for stoned joy rides You like to get real drunk Go out on the town and act like a punk You're just a bad social habit A dirty rotten bad social habit You're just a bad social habit A dirty rotten bad social habit You like to get real stoned Go out and screw lots of guys Who's the last guy you boned You're pregnant what a surprise (repeat chorus) It's just a prick in your arm A tiny thorn in your side All mixed up in your blood You're hooked oh what a surprise (repeat chorus)
