things to do 03:35
Sit on my ass, twiddle my thumbs, swing my big bat, look for leftovers It's not you, I've got things to do Stare outside the windows, think about vacations, Search for deleted scenes on my DVD's

Like a cake in my hand like a memory Black and white pictures mean more to me An image inside my head I can't forget, Little ants lifting pieces of their dead friends I'm losing sleep again I'm stressed out again, I'm losing sleep again, Depressed and down again With a pen in my hand I try to write down Numbers, messages, something with meaning And while I lay here flat on my back, I close my eyes until things come to me

old song 04:04
I wish that time would stop or at least slow down for me As dust builds up around, why am I so unhappy? I'll never do what I've been told No I won't do, what i've been told the sand slips through my hands and falls onto the floor the small things swept underneath are hidden infinitely and all miles i've driven in the days when i felt lost and all the seconds wasted as i tried to keep from aging are gone, gone, all gone...

happy now 02:00
Are you happy now that I've lost my mind? Are you happy now that you've pushed my buttons? No thanks to you I'm not as happy Are you satisfied with things have changed? Are you happy now, things won't be the same No thanks to you, I'm not as happy no thanks to you, I'm not as happy

kresge day 03:03
What's up? how's it going? I'm good. How weird that I bumped into you I think I'm going insane Remember we shared a balloon right after we dosed in my room. I think I'm going insane. And now I look back on kresge day, how things got crazy on kresge day Tracers and vitamin c, had a steak, baked potatoes again, and laughed how we both got lemonade went back into my room again, hooked up with all of our friends and then things never seemed the same again I think I'm going insane And now I smile back on kresge day I think it started on kresge day How things got crazy on kresge day

vent 04:31
Stop, relax, I know you're mad, don't blame it all on me Don't take it out on me Step up and deal Get off your knees, it takes a toll on me

meathead 02:31
I'll push you down 'cause I'm a meathead and move my way up to the front with all my friends I drive a truck with my girlfriend I'll run you off the road so I can hear her laugh I'm a jerk and I'm stupid I shaved my head and got tattoos to be unique And when you see me in the halls You better leave space for my arms And if you step into my sight I'll bully you into the walls Get out of my way 'cause I'm a meathead My big red neck is bigger than my empty head And I'm obsessed with my body I see reflections of myself and then I'll flex And in the end, I'll still be smiling cause in a world where might makes right I'll still be standing And when you see me in the halls You better leave space for my arms And if you step into my sight I'll bully you into the walls Cause I'm a meathead, I'm a meathead Meat, meat, meat, meat, meat, meathead

Wouldn't it be just like me to stay in bed all day Sleepy, TV, would make me feel happy Wouldn't it be just like me to say that I hate red Weird dreams it seems to wipe the bridge away As I feel blue I say good bye Why me I cry Oh me oh my As I feel new I wipe my tears and hum a happy tune

It's not about suicide And it's not about any days off Why do you hate all my friends And make fun of the things that I say You think that you know it all Too bad everyone thinks that you're wrong You always tend to offend and now all of your friends are all gone Here he comes That's him Still living in his glory days Oh no that's him Still talking about his SAT's Oh no, the one That thought that he would still be king So hey Talk about today Cause yesterday is gone What'd you do today Cause yesterday is gone

Hit the snooze and sleep I'm calling in sick Fake my cough and smile I'm calling in sick Lay here for a while and make up my mind Lick my tabs it's time to go on a trip Because I'm gonna call in sick, I'm gonna call in sick today Why don't you call in sick today And we can go outside and play Cause even though I like my job I think the people there are lame And even though I won't get paid I'm gonna call in anyway Jolynn's really nice, but Jim is a prick Sometimes Tommy's cool, and Missy's OK Cassie needs a brain, I think she's insane Leon wants to leave and Maegan's the same Because I'm gonna call in sick, I'm gonna call in sick today Why don't you call in sick today And we can go outside and play

all i never 02:28
All I never wanted to be was a superstar lavish life and luxury cars holes in my arms Shiny things have lost their appeal I'm into dull dollar bills and sleeping pills with alcohol put a bullet into my head hide my body under your bed and turn the lights out cigarettes in vending machines like movie stars packaging with candy appeal without the scars all i never wanted to be was a superstar i was always happy to be the stupid one around pick me up from off of your floor shove me in and lock up the doors and turn the lights out
