Hey Tom what do you want? Well I'd love some better friends. And I'd never let them down like you let me down then. You know I'm gonna be there for you the best I fucking can. And I swear I was gonna put a goddamn ring right on her hand. Tonight nothing feels right. Tonight the stars just aren't as bright. I can't help remember just what you said to me. On a freezing winter day when I was 17. You told me you'd never leave me until the day we died. Well I must be dead at 22, you're no longer by my side. Tonight nothing feels right. Tonight the stars just aren't as bright.

I thought we were fucking adults now? No matter how high my spirits get You find a way to bring me down somehow. All I keep hearing over and over is: "Sweetheart I'll love you forever and ever." And all I keep feeling over and over Your love is leaving and making me colder. I thought we were done with bullshit now? But then I yelled and lost my temper No apology could ever save me now. All I keep hearing over and over is: "Sweetheart I'll love you forever and ever." And all I keep feeling over and over Your love is leaving and making me colder.

The apocalypse is coming and the sky is falling down. Lord knows I'll take to running as soon as my feet touch the ground. I've got one foot on the gas, Joe's got one foot in the car. My brother's in the backseat with the drums and the guitars. And I swear this is what I live for. And I said it's what I live for. The apocalypse is coming and the sky is falling down. Lord knows I'll take to running as soon as my feet touch the ground. I've got one foot on the gas, Joe's got one foot in the car. My brother's in the backseat with the drums and the guitars. And I swear this is what I live for. And I said it's what I live for. And I swear this is what I live for. And I said it's what I live for.

Ride or Die 02:33
Well I've fried fish and I've pulled pork. I want nothing more than this goddamn band to work. We've packed in basements and we've played in bars. We bang on beat up drums and strum shitty guitars. Making $7.25 just to fucking feel alive. And I'll work all week so Friday night is mine. I once fell in love then her love died. When we got back on the road she was down to ride. It could've been her school, it could've been her friends. It was just one big fucking let down in the end. Making $7.25 just so we could start a life. Now it's no use and Friday night is mine. Well I've fried fish and I've pulled pork. I want nothing more than this goddamn band to work. We've packed in basements and we've played in bars. We bang on beat up drums and strum shitty guitars. Making $7.25 just to fucking feel alive. And I'll work all week so Friday night is mine.

Christ where were you when they took me down? They took my heart, they took my faith. And you were nowhere to be found. Your family turned its back on me and shunned me from your house. The only words you'll hea me pray out of this forsaken mouth are: "Father, father your faith has let me down" They did it to me shamelessly. None of them were there for me and you weren't around! Jesus so much hate is spread in your name! They judged me for my appearance then Expect me to do the same. Your family turned its back on me and shunned me from your house. The only words you'll hea me pray out of this forsaken mouth are: "Father, father your faith has let me down" They did it to me shamelessly. None of them were there for me and you weren't around!

There used to be a day When I could sing my way Straight into your heart. Those days have come and gone Just like all of those old songs. Don't waste your college years You've got two years left my dear. It's time I'm moving on Repeating every single second: That I'll be just fine without you. And I'll be just fine without you. There used to be a day When you were stuck to me We couldn't be torn apart. Thse days have come and gone Just like all my favorite songs. Everything has changed and changed I'm dying for something to stay the same. It's time I'm moving on Repeating every single second: That I'll be just fine without you. And I'll be just fine without you. I'll be just fine without you.

CCC 02:04
I'm popping these red pills I'm taking sixteen at a time I don't want to remember That you were ever mine. I'd do anything to erase the past three years of my life. We had our ups and downs but near the end all we ever did was fight. Now I'm smoking cigarettes You can smell the alcohol on by breath I can't even think straight for myself I burned all your pictures that were on my shelf. It was my way of erasing the past three years of my life. We had our ups and downs but near the end all we ever did was fight. I wish there was a way of replacing the past three years of my life. I wish we could throw out this history and rewrite it with my own lines. I wish I never wrote "Of You". I wish I never told you that I loved you.

Believe 01:55
You talk behind our backs., you say we'll sink in real life. But here we are, we're swimming. We made it out alive. We've had it up to here and we're not taking anymore. We've had it up to here. You doubt us because we are young and careless. First we had a dream and then it's consumed our lives. We've had it up to here and we're not taking anymore. We've had it up to here. But we've made it out alive and we made it right on time. We've had it up to here and we're not taking anymore. We've had it up to here and we're not taking anymore. We've had it up to here. And this time we've got to learn to turn our backs Not on the enemies but the friends who said these things. And this time we've got to learn to turn our backs Not on the enemies but the friends who said these things. We've got to learn that we can make it if we try.

It started from the end And you always kept me second guessing. You met me at my all time low. I just wanted you to know: All the late night calls All the homemade cards That night we wrapped in a blanket Underneath the stars You kissed me underneath those streetlights. You keep my head on straight, angel. You came and fixed up my whole world. It started from the end And I always tried to keep you guessing. I've seen you at your all time low. I just wanted you to know: All the late night calls All those "please tell me" one's All the movies when you fell asleep on my arm I kissed you underneath those streetlights. You keep my head on straight, angel. You came and fixed up my whole world.

Here we go! Sitting on dirty steps, smoking cigarettes. Pacing in the sun and watching time go by. My best friends and everything I know I've been finding out were all based on lies. Sitting on dirty steps, I've got no regrets. Pacing in the sun and watching time go by. My best friends and everything I know I've been finding out were all based on lies. Secrets you've been keeping from being brought up Are being brought to my attention now that it's over and done. Secrets you've been keeping from being brought up Are being brought to my attention now that it's over Secrets you've been keeping from being brought up Are being brought to my attention now that it's over and done.

We're all taking drags just to watch ourselves die Because we don't fit in under these city lights. Warm up the van because it's my turn to drive. My brother's and I, we're in for the time of our lives. We watched a single star fall from the sky And it sealed the fate for the rest of our lives. We watched a single star fall from the sky And it sealed the fate for the rest of our lives.

These streetlights are too bright set down the bottle. Light another cigarette I know I've got to Go and pack the van before I head home. This is long overdue, time to get back on the road again. We've been doing this thing now about eight years. We've got the kinks worked out that were grinding our gears. So go and pack the van before we head home. This is long overdue time to get back on the road again. These streetlights are too bright set down the bottle. Light another cigarette I know I've got to Go and pack the van before I head home. This is long overdue, time to get back on the road again.

Technology is fucking disgusting. We bootlegged Dan Andriano. Recorded on a phone Bluetoothed to my computer. It took two seconds long. HEY!
