Done In 03:42
I've been hit With another batch of garbage I've been hit With More of them lies I've gone down Gone down a dark tunnel I've been jumping Through smoke and fire I guess I'm done in I bet I'm done in I guess I'm done in Your never ever gonna let me win I've been weighed I've been weighed way down Soaked in sweat Junk and polyester Come on man Just get a grip You've been posing With a stupid grin I guess I'm done in I bet I'm done in I guess I'm done in Your never ever gonna let me win Can't you tell How'd you do it Can't you tell me How you play stupid Your a magician I think you've got it in submission I've been waiting for you son To bust through them doors I guess I'm done in I bet I'm done in I guess I'm done in Your never ever gonna let me win

Jack N' Jill 03:01
Jack came from nothing Jill came from nothing Wanted to find something to ignite their world They gotta a rhyme They gotta find a reason They don't do nothing that amounts to much But they got each other Yeah, one another They don't make mistakes They ain't breaking their bones Now their on the highway Running from their village The desert's glowing in the sky Everything they wanted Now its in their sight Everything they wanted Now its in their life Their not sinners Their not winners When something comes along It don't change their fun Jake's now an actor Jill ain't got nothing When Jack starts working Jill hide's in her hair She starts crying He starts flying Looks in the mirror Into sobbing eyes She don't like what she see's No No No She don't want to know her other side Everything they wanted Now it's in their sight Everything they wanted Now it's in their life They found a night to be with one another and looked each other dead in the eye Jack spoke his mind and said "Your my equal" "Hey Jill, your my other side" "Your my master, your my master" "If I didn't have you, I think I'd die" Everything they wanted Now it's in their sight Everything they wanted Now it's in their life Jack paid his due's He got the picture Knew he had to ditch her Didn't want to lose his mind He got back to the house In them empty hills Into the driveway To park his car He got out and found an open door Jill looked lousy, she looked drowsy Looked like the devil Found his way in Everything they wanted Now it's in their sight Everything they wanted Now it's in their life I heard something in the bathroom It was banging around And then someone came in from the hallway Holding something silver Shiny and bright Jack saw his ghost rip from his body Jack saw Jill's sobbing eyes Now their equal Now their equal Now their equal Now their equal

Missing 04:42
I just came to Cincinnati From Appleton I got a new apartment and an Astro van I hear it's a good place to start a trade I think I'll be excited when I find my way Maybe you should come and visit someday All I really know, is that I'm on my way Pope Francis just said That my lifestyles ok It's a relief that I can feel this way I don't have to worry that I'm into men I think I'll be excited when the school days begin Do me one favor if you can Write a few letters, so I ease into my weekends It's only been a few days at Cincinnati State Been sitting in the corner most of the week The kids look at me like I'm some kind of freak They speak in southern accents And laugh in the back I try to my best with my poker face Maybe I'd do better with a looser intellect Walk to go get coffee thinking of mom The kids are all gathered playing chess She used me as a weapon against dad I was the prize that only she could have Everyone around me is sheltered in their fate They all go to parties They got their place They never ever worry Cause they got a mate Another big expense to drive into town I sit around the apartment feeling left out A coyote roamed in Clifton When I figured it out Ain't nowhere to go There ain't no expression When I make my decision You'll see my mission Last time I was seen It was Christmas day The cashier at Wendy's Said I'd come that way It was 10:15 a.m. on a holiday They got my photo on a flyer in the town Now all the kids get to see me around They see me around town

Reason 03:47

I had a kook As a roommate Never wanted to get off the pot He left his shit There to stink I sort of wish he'd fallen in Always let's the top blow off Blamed the zany's It was their fault Now I'm sitting in the smell Wishing I wasn't cursed or in hell Sleeping in the goons room Sleeping in Sleeping in the goons room Sleeping in A Russian dolll She was my roommate Always liked to talk past twelve I can't ramble or manic preach When she's there can't slur my speech Pussy riot They're her friends What do I do? How do I fit in? I only ask because L.A. Has a new creep everyday Sleeping in the goons room Sleeping in Sleeping in the goons room Sleeping in The guy I rent from thinks I steal his shit He's on tour or at his therapist When the ceilings caving in I can't reach him He's throwing a fit He left his junk under the bed Used up condoms and cat shit There's a fire on the hill Smokes pouring in I need pills Sleeping in the goons room Sleeping in Sleeping in the goons room Sleeping in What the hell Why am I here? Chad from the meatbodies Wants me out of here The guy I rent from is calling my friend He's afraid I'll take his adavan What a dork What the hell I threw his guitar in the can What do I do Where do I go I burned up a bridge an hour ago Sleeping in the goons room Sleeping in Sleeping in the goons room Sleeping in

Caught up like a sleaze bag Caught up like a sleaze bag There's an X, there's a mark It's a conspiracy She caught me in derelict of my duty She spent the night with an enemy friend I ain't too worried cause she's hellbent Caught up like a sleaze bag Caught up like sleaze bag The theater of war is upon us She's acting like an actor and kicking up dust It's dog eat dog, baby I'm spilling my guts Time to make a mockery Out of all of us She wants to waste my MF'ing time I should have known that this was Five and dime Caught up like a sleaze bag Caught up like a sleaze bag She's to be highbrow It cuts her lose He bought new leggings More shit to toss He's really smitten He's a school-boy for her Pretty soon he'll be a loser For sure Cause she wants to waste his MF'ing time He went for gold , but this was Five and dime Caught up like a sleaze bag Caught up like a sleaze bag She left him high and left him dry He's under the bus A victim of lust He was really eager Know he's in the scrap heap No place to stand and he buckles his knees Cause he thought he knew What it was all about He should have known That his heart would melt

Stand There 04:01
There was something that I want That I really needed to figure out somehow I gonna get it But I've tripped up and I let it Spit me out Now I'm on the westside chopping up lines Now I'm on the westside believing your lies Now I'm on the westside killing time Now I'm on the westside wasting my mind While you stand there looking surprised You stand there thinking that your right You stand there blinking your eyes You stand there none the wise My hearts been bleeding Asking me to lead it Into love How am I gonna do it When I can't reach it Anyhow Now I'm on the westside losing my sight Now I'm on the westside wondering the night Now I'm on the westside polluting my life Now I'm on the westside escaping the light While you stand there looking surprised You stand there thinking that your right You stand there blinking your eyes You stand there none the wise There's something that I want Something that I need To come alive If you tell me how to get it I'll give you all my secrets To lead my life Now I'm on the westside gazing the sky Now I'm on the westside my visions wide Now I'm on the westside fantasy ride Now I'm a westside lullaby While you stand there looking surprised You stand there thinking that your right You stand there blinking your eyes You stand there I don't know why
