Howitzer 03:11
I been feeling like a car that's been swerving between the lanes and maybe its the one behind the wheel that needs to change or maybe I'm just too forgone and don't know how to say it I know I gotta find my way before it gets too late Well maybe its the pounding or the writing on the wall I been partying so long it ain't a party much at all wake up every morning barely make it into work just trying not to think about the way your head will hurt PRECHORUS And I don't know quite how things got where they are now but I gotta hope there's more than one way out... CHORUS I don't know when or how its all going to end but I gotta find my way out before then (2X) Hey everybody stop it I heard something at the door I been partying so long it ain't a party anymore does it mean you got a problem when you gotta stop and think when you ask yourself the last time that you went without a drink

In Your Own 03:37
Finally found the heart to say, you ruined every part of me its right there where you left it on display and I don't even know what for, you're stranger to me anymore are memories so easy to ignore? When you're a legend in your own eyes and your heart is beating two timed yeah you're a legend in your own eyes and your heart is beating two timed Finally found the words to say, it felt just like you murdered me I'm here to charge you in the third degree but you're just waiting for some creep, who would sweep you off your feet and lift the rug and sweep me underneath CHORUS Finally found the heart to say, you ruined every part of me but I found out today you'd moved away and never told me where you went I guess that shows how much I meant I sit here trying to make sense but I can't

Jackalyn 03:30
Jackalyn Jackalyn, yea I wonder where you been you vanished in thin air on the floor no one knows you anymore its like you were never there Jackalyn, Jackalyn, Jackalyn yea I wonder where you been Jackalyn, Jackalyn, Jackalyn yea I wonder where you been Jackalyn, yea I wonder where you been its been a year come spring at the shows, I’m always looking for you though I never hear a thing Jackalyn, Jackalyn, Jackalyn yea I wonder where you been Jackalyn, Jackalyn, Jackalyn yea I wonder where you been where you been? where you been? where you been?

Something bout it sounds unromantic The way that I didn’t get your name Or maybe that’s exactly how you planned it And that would mean there’s no one left to blame Something bout that chip on your shoulder The way you like to wear it on your sleeve it must feel good but anybody older will only find it harder to believe CHORUS: I can see the writing on the wall Even if you've written it so small In your unintelligible scrawl Little urchin doll, no no no something bout the way that you kissed me the way that you bit down on my lips and if you never care enough to miss me you sure left something sticking in my ribs Rough draft completed: 11/19/13

Labor Day 03:48
Labor Day G D G Im sittin here waiting for labor day C G With my mind about a thousand miles away C Em contemplating all of the things I just cant say G D G I’m just sitting here waiting for labor day I been thinking of it ever since july When I came home to find my house was full of flies And I kinda thought by now they’d all have died I been thinking of it ever since july Its like a plague is hanging over me I can feel it as it kills me by degrees Like a cat upon my chest while I’m asleep Its like a plague is hanging over me Im sittin here waiting for labor day Bearing witness to my body’s slow decay But somebody said it all will be ok I’m just sitting here waiting for labor day Written 9/2012 Revisted: 7/2013

Such 02:26
When I was a boy of five, I figured when I learned to drive, nothing'd keep me from this life walking with my head held down on the streets of my hometown, nothing changed from then to now its ordinary's all you say (3x) its ordinary... Because when I look back on the past I think how different I'd act but is that really such a fact? because my own private history is really just a myth for me and I'm just who I used to be There's this time I can recall, I thought I'd call her just to talk, admit that it was all my fault but it didn't happen then and not a week has gone by since when I ain't thought of her again

I'm the son of captain obvious and I'm trying so hard to put a stop to this and one night the sky will fall on us so it don't make much sense to be an optimist I'm the son of the atom bomb and I'm trying my hardest just to make myself calm every night has to have its pawn and its starting to seem as if its over and done and the road that made all the difference was the path of the least resistance roads diverged off into the distance and I was fixed in with my decisions I'm the son of a nuclear whore and I'm trying my hardest just to not get divorced every night you tell me how you're sore and its getting to be too much for me to ignore

Main Line Cops Well now all the way from cityline down into wayne all the barflies gotta take the r5 train cuz they all lost their licenses to drive through town cuz the cops around here, they don’t fuck around, man if you’ve had a beer or a whiskey shot you’ll get busted by the main line cops yea the main line cops, main line cops yea don’t get stopped by main line cops yea yea the main line cops, main line cops yea don’t get stopped by main line cops yea Well the area they’re from doesn’t have much crime so they got nothing better to do with their time so now if you’re getting hammered at the Rusty Nail well I hope that you’re prepared to spend the night in jail, man don’t you cross that line, don’t run that stop you’ll get busted by the main line cops yea the main line cops, main line cops yea don’t get stopped by main line cops yea yea the main line cops, main line cops yea don’t get stopped by main line cops yea don’t even risk it if you’ve only had a drop you’ll still get busted by the main line cops yea the main line cops, main line cops yea don’t get stopped by main line cops yea yea the main line cops, main line cops yea don’t get stopped by main line cops yea
