I never really cared about school all that much I'm just trying my best not to turn into such a fuck But going off the deep end from time to time Is acceptable every once in a while But once in a while turns into once a week And once a week turns into every day you see Now I'm all fucked up and I forgot how to tie my shoes So I'll wake up alone in a room of silence Fuckin jerk off and smoke some cigarettes And think about her and wonder if I ever cross her mind Woah-oh, woah-oh So I'm going off the deep end every single day Because going crazy's the only way to stay sane When you feel so out of place with everybody from this day and age Now a lot of people don't condone smoking But I don't give a shit cause we're all slowly dying Since the day we were born, we were infected with a plague called life And sometimes I wonder if I'll ever leave Ohio And I really don't think I give a shit anymore Cause I found a place that I call home and I never even have to leave my head Woah-oh, lets all take acid
2.
I'm not gonna make it out of here alive But I'll go when it's my time And If I'm lying in the grass Then I'll know I've had a good ride And if I'm homeless When that day arrives Well who needs a death bed When I've got the sun and blue skies So go go go my apathy Take it away away from me Take it away oh anywhere but here And go go go anxiety Take that that shit away from me So I can die happily many years From now I'm not gonna make it out of here alive But I'll go when it's my time And if I'm in a dumpster somewhere I really wont mind So if I'm homeless When that day arrives Well who needs a death bed when I've got the junkies by my side... So go go go my apathy Take it away away from me Take it away oh anywhere but here And go go go anxiety Take that that shit away from me So I can die happily many years From now

I don't wanna work I just wanna sing I don't wanna do I just wanna be I just wanna waste my time and go outside and see the world and feel alive Hold my breath and make a wish I just want to forget I don't wanna frown I just wanna laugh I'd rather be a fool Cause ignorance is bliss Avoid all sorts of confrontation Cause thats the only thing that i am afraid of Hold my breath and make a wish I just want to forget And sometimes you dont know what to do When the pressures on and they're all staring right at you When you start to freak out what are you gonna do Hold my breath and make a wish I just want to forget I just want to forget

And we'll scream up the punks and we'll know that it's wrong But we won't give a damn, we'll keep singing our songs And I'll try to believe that you really loved me, but I'll know that I'm wrong I'll know that I'm wrong and I can't help but laugh, I just wish I could cry I'm so desensitized that I've been wondering why everyone that I know They've been writing it down, they've written hundreds of songs about leaving this town But nobody does, and nobody will You say that money can't buy happiness, so I guess my life will always hurt like this You say that you won't miss a thing, yeah, well I can see it in your eyes That you have been lying to yourself I'll buy the train ticket if I have to get the hell away from here Cause I can't watch my friend suffer through the passing of another year Cause it's this town that brings us down, And you're the one that told me to get out So I hope that you go, I wish you all the best But when you're thinking back to this shitty town, you remember, You will be missed
5.
You ask me why I say that I'm straight edge Instead of just saying that I'm clean Well I guess that's cause if I did, then I'd have to conform to showering You ask me why I love black flags Well I'll tell you they give me hope, well it's true But I hate flags, and I hate symbols, and I hate everything they mean So I guess I'm a hypocrite just like you So if not showering is a revolution you can call me Che Guevara or just human pollution, I swear I won't put it past you And if shitty songs about anarchy mean anything please call me the Karl Marx of bad poetry cause seems that every word I've ever written I wish I could undo You ask me why I collect change Well I'll tell you it's easier than getting a job But if change don't happen where it really matters Then I guess there is no hope, and we're all born to die lazy, homeless, ignorant slobs You ask me why I love traintracks Well I'll tell you they give me proof And if there's somewhere else, then I might just be one of the lucky ones to get out So I guess I'm just another helpless kid looking for truth So if not showering is a revolution you can call me Che Guevara or just human pollution, I swear I won't put it past you And if shitty songs about anarchy mean anything please call me the Karl Marx of bad poetry cause seems that every word I've ever written I wish I could undo

I can't stand the world lately, it does nothing but depress me and the Broken glass upon the street can't help but remind me of me And I take comfort in knowing that I don't have to land on my feet cause I have neither the obligation or even the means So when this world has got you down You can just stay there on the ground Cause this world is a mess and it will just get you depressed And I'd rather lay here by the tracks just looking up at the clouds I can't help but envy the homeless drunk man on the street because Nothing says freedom like giving up and just knowing when you've been beat I'm not saying that I'm done standing up I'm just tired of being the only one Cause when you're as jaded as me its hard to have any fun So when this world has got you down You can just stay there on the ground Cause this world is a mess and it will just get you depressed And I'd rather lay here by the tracks just looking up at the clouds I'm looking up at the clouds

i can't stand being alone for just a little while just a couple hours and i will hate myself anxiety has led me to believe the ones i love will leave they're never coming back to me, and i will die alone i don't have to sacrifice my happiness for anybody and i don't have to try to make sure i make everybody happy here's to all the times i cried and cried and cried over something that i couldn't control the little things that get under my skin, i cannot let them in i cannot let them tell me that i'm not good enough when i think that way i start to feel like theres no hope for me i start to feel the gravity pulling me to hell i don't have to sacrifice my happiness for anybody and i don't have to try to make sure i make everybody happy here's to all the times i cried and cried and cried over something that i couldn't control so here's to all the times i cried and cried and cried over something that i couldn't control

i used to pray to god every night hoping that i'd wake up crazy cause life was too simple and easy to live and i wanted chaos to save me i used to pray for a fucked up turn of events that would leave me hopeless what i didn't know then, i know now wouldn't help me to write this down going through life, hoping to die hoping that if i look to the sky i might get hit by a bus and die or at least get hit by a truck full of creation get hit by a truck full of inspiration

there is nothing i hate more than going to family reunions i hate being surrounded by all you stupid fuckers and your children woah-oh-oh-oh-oh i know-oh-oh-oh-oh that i'm supposed to like you, but i don't how dare you have the nerve to say that i will have no future look at your life, look at what you've done, and realize woah-oh-oh-oh-oh i know-oh-oh-oh-oh you think you know what's best, but you don't you really fucking don't so the next time you tell me how to live, remember woah-oh-oh-oh-oh i know-oh-oh-oh-oh i always know whats best for myself, and i don't need you this is my life and i don't need opinions from you
