Track Name: Terminal boredom
Guess I'm lonelier than I thought
Unrequited doesn't do the way I feel justice at all
My brain got tired, packed up and left me
Now I'm left here on my own, and I'm bored to the nth degree

Nothing seems to bother me much
Haven't seen the sun for three days now but I don't really care
But I'm too lazy to make a difference
So I'll just sit here smoking cigarettes and watching Breaking Bad all day
Track Name: Waiting for summer
Endless winters and two-week summers
This weather is such a fucking bummer
I think that I need to get away
So get me to the airport
I'll go anywhere as long as it's not here
I need to get away today

Yeah, I really need to get away
I'm not well so I'm not going to work today
At least that's what I'll say
I just know I can't stay
So get me on a plane
I've got to get away

Pretty sure I'm getting dumber
Spending all year waiting for summer
I think that I need to get away
So take me to the station
Get me a one-way ticket out of here
I need to get away today

Yeah, I really need to get away
I'll just pack up and quit my shitty job today
And I'll be on my way
I just know I can't stay
So get me on that train
I've got to get away
Track Name: Self destruct
I don't need a filter
I don't need a mixer
I don't need a glass, give me the bottle
I'm getting out of my head tonight

I don't want to think tonight
Don't want to see straight tonight
Still seeing single so make mine a double
I'm going to get wrecked tonight

It's starting to peak now
I'm starting to black out
I'm not happy but Jesus I'm close
I can't make it home tonight
But I know that tomorrow I'll do it all again
Track Name: Still waiting
Lying awake at six A.M.
Why can't I get to sleep?
Convince myself I'll be ok
But I don't think I will

Got too much on my mind
My eyes are red, my brain is fucking fried
I just can't sleep tonight
So I'll just count the hours until daylight

Half-connected all day long
thinking about nothing at all
Waiting to get a good night's sleep
But I just stare at the walls

Got too much on my mind
My eyes are red, my brain is fucking fried
I just can't sleep tonight
So I'll just count the hours until daylight

I'm still waiting...
Track Name: Walking out on love
Oh, why are you walking out on love?
Oh, why are you walking out on love?

Why are leaving
You're saying goodbye,
Why don't you stay
And give it one more try?

Why when you were happy here with me?

Oh, why are you walking out on love?
Oh, why are you walking out on love?

Gimme the reason
The truth of my lies
You said you loved me
Now you're saying good bye

Why when you were happy here with me?

Oh why are you walking out on love?
Oh why are you walking out on love?
Track Name: Signing off
Standing in line with the hopeless and half dead
I never thought that it would ever come to this
Feel out of place without a tattoo on my neck
I say it's only temporary but it's been like this for three months now

and...
I'm giving up, I'm signing off
There must be something out there, but thus far I haven't found it
I tell myself it's not so bad
I'll get out of this hole, things look bleak but I'll be fine someday
Track Name: Total blackout
What happened last night?
My head feels like it's about to burst
My lungs are aching
My liver and I aren't on speaking terms

My mind has gone blank
Perhaps it's smarter than I thought
I don't want to know
I don't want to remember at all

Perhaps it's nothing
But then why do I feel like I've been shat out?
My stomach's churning
Still haven't found the guts to look at my phone

My mind has gone blank
Perhaps it's smarter than I thought
I don't want to know
I don't want to remember at all

I'm paying today for what I did last night
I know it's all my fault, I know I'm not in the right
I feel like shit, and I totally admit
I fucked up last night
I fucked up last night
Track Name: Disconnect my brain
Go to work every morning, check my brain at the door
The monotony kills my soul just a little bit more

Disconnect my brain

Minimum wage, maximum efficiency, don't know how much longer I can last
This life's just a series of mundane tasks

Disconnect my brain
Track Name: The drugs do work
How did it come to this?
Can't get ourselves out of this mess.
A nation fueled by booze
Powders, pills and cigarettes

Dear Christ, there must be more than this.

And you don't feel like a man
Without that bottle in your hand
The joke is wearing thin,
But you can't quit and you can't win

But when do we give up?
Where does the party end?
Looks like we won't have the choice to make the same mistakes again

What's the alternative?
What other life is there to live?
Happiness without drugs,
It's just another fucking myth.

Try and you'll see the drugs do work
