Альбом Less Than Jake

I'm on a mission
To see what’s been missing
My favorite song is on repeat
But it’s just not helping me
My eyes have been wider but never been brighter
Something else is going on
I need a reminder of why I feel this way

There’s a fine line between
Living a lie and feeling alive
There are times that I've been
Looking from the outside in
And here I go again
Falling behind losing my mind
I'm pretending it’s alright
Listening to the soundtrack of my life

Wo-oh
Listening to the soundtrack of my life

I still believe in
Facing all my demons
And everything that people promise
Everything I’ve always wanted
My mouth has been open
My words have been stolen
It may have been used against me
It’s starting to affect me
And now I feel this way

There’s a fine line between
Living a lie and feeling alive
There are times that I’ve been
Looking from the outside in
And here I go again
Falling behind losing my mind
I'm pretending it’s alright
Listening to the soundtrack of my life

Wo-oh
Listening to the soundtrack of my life

And it goes like this…

And it takes me back…

And it spins around
And round and round
And round and round
And it goes around
And always leads to black

There’s a fine line between
Living a lie and feeling alive
There are times that I’ve been
Looking from the outside in
And here I go again
Falling behind losing my mind
I'm pretending it’s alright
Listening to the soundtrack of my life

Wo-oh
Listening to the soundtrack of my life
[x3]

I remember that I kind of laughed at the sparks that spread the flames
Over all the ugly memories these past three years have made
Then I waited for the smoke to fill my lungs and suffocate my pain away

So I say goodbye and I just say so long
Almost feeling paralyzed
My still life with vital signs
And I'll just say so long
My good intentions felt so wrong
Left me feeling so far gone
Well I'm gone, woah, woah.
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone

I remember when I found the place for the ends to list that normal scene
Living in this haunted house on this otherwise normal street
Postcards and photographs of who we were start to burn and fade away

So I say goodbye and I just say so long
Almost feeling paralyzed
My still life with vital signs
And I'll just say so long
My good intentions felt so wrong
Left me feeling so far gone
My good intentions felt so wrong
Left me feeling so far gone
Well I'm gone, woah, woah.
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone

So I say goodbye and I just say so long
Almost feeling paralyzed
My still life with vital signs
And I'll just say so long
My good intentions felt so wrong
Left me feeling so far gone
And I'll just say so long
My good intentions felt so wrong
Left me feeling so far gone
And I'll just say so long

Maybe Im Jaded and bored
always looking for more
waiting round for the next big fix
I know Im a reck im a mess
But I counldnt care less
dont know what it would take to change me

Everybodys so afraid to be different
please excuse me now i dont get it

having sex is overrated
so is always getting wasted
designer drugs
and dead end jobs
and classic rock is so outdated
Im so sick of therapy
and all the things its done to me
how can i be satisfied
when everything is overrated

Maybe the problem is me
but i wont make believe
and i cant take this mediacracy
what if this is a test
and i deserve what i get
will i wake up with all the answers

Everybodys too afraid to be different
please excuse me now if i dont listen

having sex is overrated
so is always getting wasted
designer drugs
and dead end jobs
and classic rock is so outdated
im so sick of therapy
and all the things its done to me

woah woah
when everything is overrated
woah woah

and tv show reality
how can i be satisfied
when everything is overrated

woah woah
woah woah
woah woah
when everything is overrated
woah woah
woah woah
woah woah
when everything is overrated

Frustration that I've been facing
I don't remember how but I've lost motivation
I can't stop this sinking feeling from creeping over me
I can't stop myself seeing the darkness in front of me

It's not that hard to just fall apart, fall apart.
It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart.
It's not that hard to just fall apart, from the start.
It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart.

Repeating, I keep retreating,
I don't remember how, but I lost all my meaning.
Can't stop mistakes I'm making from hanging over me,
Can't stop myself from facing the darkness in front of me.

It's not that hard to just fall apart, fall apart.
It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart.
It's not that hard to just fall apart, from the start.
It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart.

I remember when I'm reaching my breaking point,
Pressure pushing on me till I lost my voice,
I don't think I ever had a choice,
With this every day decay and destroy.

It's not that hard to just fall apart, fall apart.
It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart.
It's not that hard to just fall apart, from the start.
It's not that hard to just fall apart, I'm falling apart.

Rescue me from boring times it's a story
i know line by line different deep on the
inside, isn't different if you have to try
i'm borderline day after day waiting to
get knocked off my feet again time
passes by like a slow parade waiting to
get knocked off my feet again knocked
to my knees again. the measurements of
my success, are always measured in not
making sense my motivation's taking
bets it's apologies or arguments with a
head filled full of cans and can'ts. i try
and try and try to remember why i
think it's now or it's never. i'm borderline
day after day waiting to get knocked off
my feet again time passes by like a slow
parade waiting to get knocked off my
feet again knocked on my knees again.

I could hear all the plans we had when the wind hits me just right
and i'm so sick of wanting all the things i'm haunted by
my sympathy goes to the oldest joke that's survived another year
i wonder where i'm going from where i'm at i wonder why i'm still here.
the writing on the subway walls reminds me why your words don't
console me anymore while i'm lying wide awake on my bedroom floor.
i'm the lucky one, i'm getting out of here this is my last chance to disappear.
i'm the lucky one, i'm getting out of here, i think i may freeze on the last
days of summertime. the local papers always opened up to obituaries
and engagements cause i keep track of all the fresh starts and he dying famous
and there's a hate of second-hand smoke underneath the summer stars
along with conversations we had on this subway car. the writing on the subway
walls reminds me why your words don't console me anymore while i'm lying
wide awake on my bedroom floor. i'm the lucky one, i'm getting out of here
this is my last chance to disappear, i'm the lucky one, i'm getting out of here,
i think i may freeze on the last days of summertime. remember when, when you said,
you said take these words and do what you want with them. the writing on the subway
walls reminds me why your words don't console me anymore, while i'm lying wide awake
on my bedroom floor. i'm the lucky one, i'm getting out of here this is my last
chance to disappear. i'm the lucky one, i;m getting out of here, i think
i may freeze on the last days of summertime.

Dear "you won't answer me" did you honestly think i'd ever leave? if you'd somehow just believe me. you've gotta know right now that these words still sting...i've lost everything i've ever touched. the results were eating me up for once i've had enough. landmines-landslides no matter how i try. landmines-landslides every single, i fell asleep while watching tv while the living dead they walk my streets this evening this sitting target's been stuck on the couch again, pretending i'm stable as the panic sets in. the results were eating me up for once i've had enough. landmines-landslides no matter how i try. i'm destined for disaster a failure by design landmines-landslides every single time. i'm destined for disaster i'm trapped on every side. you know how hard i try sometimes, you can see it in my eyes it's always eating me alive the day to day of getting by self-control from all the helplessness i've known i'm a wreck lacking confidence there's no arguments you know. landmines-landslides no matter how i try. i'm destined for disaster a failure by design landmines-landslides every single time. i'm destined for disaster i'm trapped on every side.

I fell asleep last Saturday
Underneath polluted skies
I walked alone on those Jersey nights, and I
Saw the boardwalk start to fall
The emptiness starts to drown
The quiet corners off this town, and I...
Late last night, I made my plans
It was the only thing I felt I could do
Said goodbye, to my best friend
Sometimes there's no one left to tell you the truth

It's gonna kill me: The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
I know it's hard to face all of my past mistakes
It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life

This is my all time low
Somehow it feels so familiar
Somehow it seems so familiar
I feel like letting go
And every second that goes by
I'm screaming out for a second try
Said goodbye, to my best friend
Sometimes there's no one left to tell you the truth

It's gonna kill me: The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
I know it's hard to face all of my past mistakes
I've got to live with them rest of my life

This is the mess I've made
These are the words I can't erase
This is my life support, shutting down, for the final time
And it twists like a braid
And kills me for the rest of my life

If you won't forgive me
The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
I know it's hard to face all of my past mistakes
It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life...

I can't seem to recognize, either side of this modern version or
fading person i was, i tried to memorize dates and times of old
accidents and the failed attempts now, i'm still afraid of those
mistakes i've made. i'm mostly memories, most missed
opportunities, mostly minor tragedies, i'm mostly you and me.
i'm mostly memories, mostly missed opportunities, mostly
abnormalities, i'm mostly you and me, and you and you and
me. i can't seem to recognize, either side of my conversations or
contemplations i've done, i've tried to memorize the truth and
lies, of the facts and fictions and the half truth admissions i've
done. i'm still afraid of those mistakes i've made. i'm mostly
memories, mostly missed opportunities, mostly minor tragedies,
i'm mostly you and me. i'm mostly memories, mostly missed
opportunities, mostly abnormalities, i'm mostly you and me,
and you and you and me. out of luck and had enough
out of trust and out of touch, out of time i'm hanging up
i'm mostly memories, mostly missed opportunities, mostly
minor tragedies, i'm mostly you and me. i'm mostly memories,
mostly missed opportunities, mostly abnormalities, i'm mostly
you and me, and you and you and me.

Going back and forth inside my shut up brain again
(You gotta let her go, gotta let her go)
Worlds apart, I'm torn apart, I'll stall up my senses
(You gotta let her go, gotta let her go)
Somehow through it all we've become defenseless
(You gotta let her go, gotta let her go)
I'm living this lie and I can't pretend
(You gotta let her go, gotta let her go)

And I know I'll get that feeling when we meet again
And I know I will be stronger in the end

I think I'm gonna lose my mind
'Cause I don't wanna say goodbye [x2]

Now we realize the compromises you and I
(You gotta let her go, gotta let her go)
You fell from heaven to heartbreak in the blink of an eye
(You gotta let her go, gotta let her go)

And I know I'll get that feeling when we meet again
And I know I will be stronger in the end

I think I'm gonna lose my mind
'Cause I don't wanna say goodbye [x2]

You gotta let her go, gotta let her go [x4]

When I leave right now, get up and walk away
Our yesterdays will begin to fade

You gotta let her go, gotta let her go [x2]

Nana, nana [x8]

I think I'm gonna lose my mind
'Cause I don't wanna say goodbye [x4]

You gotta let her go, gotta let her go [x4]

When I leave right now, get up and walk away
Our yesterdays will begin to fade

You gotta let her go, gotta let her go [x2]

Nana, nana [x4]

i have this feeling inside that i wouldn't like me if i met me. it seems like a losing fight, if you can see thru my eyes then you'd believe me. the truth is that i'm overrated, I can't think straight I'm formulaic, the truth is that it's sad to say it, but you can't help me. you don't see me that way, you hear the words that i say, you just tell me that my heart's in the right place, it's the world that's confused and it's never too late to save a hopeless case i've always known a ghost like me, can disappear in a moment, i'm my own worst casualty, everything i touch can get broken, the truth is that i'm self-destructive, i'm insecure, i'm out of focus, the truth is that i've had enough but you still help me. you don't see me that way, you hear the words that i say, you just tell me that my heart's in the right place, it's the world that's confused and it's never too late to save a hopeless case. you're giving me perspective, it's better than mine, and i'll still be defective and you're wasting your time.

it's never been so crystal clear that i've been dying six months a year arguing with strangers about why i'm still here. no on lets me forget questions about my relevance and i'm starting to believe their arguments in my self-defense it's just my self-destructiveness and always wasting all my breath and it's still a mystery to me why i'm doubting all my dreams all the things that i say will someday fade away when the message in the songs has kept me sane all along. the years hit like like fist to face and some days i've tried to replace this person with the same god-given name. some days i shake till noon i've tried to explain to overcrowded rooms across these states my narrow point of view. but what can i do it's just my self-destructiveness and always wasting all my breath and it's a mystery to me why i'm doubting all my dreams all the things that i say will someday fade away when the message in these songs has kept me sane all along.

There's not a doctor that can fix me,
My disease is chronic and I've lost all self-control.
Have you ever had your heart ripped out your throat?
Anxious and all alone, now stop and remember we're only human

I've tried it all to kill the pain, but nothing keeps me sane.

I'll pretend that I'm stable,
I'm left, lost and labeled
I'll pretend that I'm doing fine.
I'm so out of focus,
I'm hopelessly hopeless,
I'll pretend that I'm doing fine.

Theres not a pill that can make me happy
My complains nescient and I've lost touch with my soul
Have you ever had your words choking your throat?
Another thought up in smoke, now stop and remember we're only human.

I've tried it all to kill the pain, but nothing keeps me sane.

I'll pretend that I'm stable,
I'm left, lost and labeled
I'll pretend that I'm doing fine.
I'm so out of focus,
I'm hopelessly hopeless,
I'll pretend that I'm doing fine.

I've tried it all to kill the pain, but nothing keeps me sane.

I'll pretend that I'm stable,
I'm left, lost and labeled
I'll pretend that I'm doing fine.
I'm so out of focus,
I'm hopelessly hopeless,
I'll pretend that I'm doing fine.

I've tried it all to kill the pain, but nothing keeps me sane.

I'll pretend that I'm stable,
I'm left, lost and labeled
I'll pretend that I'm doing fine.
I'm so out of focus,
I'm hopelessly hopeless,
I'll pretend that I'm doing fine. 2x
