Well, I’m sorry that I kept you waiting Seems like I’m always running late Just as I’m getting reinstated I’m on my way back out the gate And I’d love to sit and chat about all the times I’ve let you down, but now I’m all done with that Chewing fat won't fill you up no matter that You might like how it taste You’d have better luck counting bricks Than trying to teach this old dog new tricks Cos I ain't listening anyway... I gotta rep to protect It makes me wonder why you waste your time Trying to keep an eye on me I’m red-handed at the scene of the crime I’m still gonna plea “not guilty” Cos here’s the thing, and please don’t take it to heart I ain't together unless I’m falling apart It’s too easy unless you get a head start So get ready, set, go! Turn up the heat and try and make me sweat Well, I ain't found anyone that could beat me, yet Not even on my worst day... I gotta rep to protect You’d have better luck counting bricks Than trying to teach this old dog new tricks Cos I ain't listening anyway... I gotta rep to protect And I ain't let it down yet

You’ve created a monster... He’s 4’8’’, holding state in my fucking living room. The only way to clean the slate is with a pharmaceutical broom. He used to bounce off the walls, Now I’m lucky if he crawls. He’s sleeping his life away. What a fucking nightmare... I can’t believe I came to you, thinking you would give a shit. X-rays, co-pays, followed by follow up visits. To see you scratch your head, And mix cocktails of meds. image: http://static.urx.io/units/web/urx-unit-loader.gif He's sleeping his life away. You’ve created a monster... Now he’s off to the races, Watch as he paces across the room with his imaginary friends. I wonder what he sees in them, I wonder what they see in him. I never thought I’d be, The proud parent of a case study. He’s sleeping his life away... You've created a monster

Lover's Leap 03:33
Baby wake up, you're gonna miss the best part. Don't forget to buckle up, the road is getting dark. Nobody knows your with me, wouldn't matter if they did. You're a butterfly in a jar with no holes in the lid. Follow the blood stains down memory lane and ride with me. Ride with me to lovers leap. Ride with me, ride with me to lovers leap. Where the rocks are sharp but the waters deep, and if we time it just right, hit the wave when they peak. Underneath the moonlight swim down to the beach where the waves will wash the blood away. I can't believe we're so close to the end. The nightmare is over we can start over again. I'll help you find the thing you didn't know that you had lost. Look down at the street there's only one bridge left to cross. You can scream and shout but there's just one way out. So Ride with me, ride with me to lovers leap. Ride with me, ride with me to lovers leap. image: http://static.urx.io/units/web/urx-unit-loader.gif Where the rocks are sharp but the waters deep, and if we time it just right, hit the wave when they peak. Underneath the moonlight swim down to the beach where the waves will wash the blood away. Promises are sacred like a dead man's autograph: you really shouldn't make them if you can't hold up your half. There's such a fine line between flying and falling. Listen to the sirens down below: they keep calling our names. Can you hear them moan? Let the sticks and stones break our bones! Ride with me to lovers leap Die with me. Fly with me to lovers leap. Where the rocks are sharp but the waters deep and if we time it just, hit the wave when they peak. Underneath the moonlight swim down to the beach where the waves...

Hello there, friend. How the fuck have you been? I know that it’s been a long while. My soul still aint sold, even though it’s worth gold, Cos’ I’m holding out for a pile. Every time you meet me, you always greet me, With a smile behind grit teeth. But, man, I aint fooled. I know the pot is coo,l But the stove’s still hot beneath. So go ahead and do what you gotta do. That’s 3 for me, and none for you. On my behalf, you’d do the math the same... But you’ll never get rich from your ill-gotten gains. I wish I knew who I was talking to, But with you, I don't know who to smack. If the roles were reversed, which face would you slap first? I bet the one that won’t hit you back. The view is nice from my high horse, and I won’t sail a course, Set by a mutineer. Because as quick as you came, you’ll be gone just the same, Just like you were never here... So go ahead and do what you gotta do. That’s 3 for me, and none for you. On my behalf, you’d do the math the same... But you’ll never get rich from your ill-gotten gains.

Winter's creeping up so fast, be here before you know it. I got a box filled with your things, I guess that I should throw it away. Like you did to me, three years ago today. Headed south to hunt for treasures where they lay. Isn't it just like you always wanted? Picture perfect beaches with your mansion spread across them. Sunsets and corvettes, so many lovers, you forget. Isn't it just like you've always wanted? The bell has tolled, the wind blows cold, the last train out is leaving. Like a scarecrow with no sparrow, my head bows as its speeding away. I'd lay chase if I could, but there's a price that i must pay. I'm nailed to this cross for good, at least until Judgement Day. Isn't it just like you always wanted? Picture perfect beaches with your mansion spread across them. Sunsets and corvettes, so many lovers, you forget. Isn't it just like you've always wanted?

I was sitting on the couch drinking whiskeys and water Bragging ‘bout how I fucked somebody’s daughter I said, “hey, Mean, let’s snap another line.” Heard the phone ring, fuck, look at the the time Cos’ time flies when you’re having fun I wish I was having some Looks like I’m not the only one... 7:30... here comes the sun... Time flies when you’re having fun I woke up late for work, nearly missed my alarm So I took a little trip trip to the Cumberland Farms Took my eyes off the road and nearly got into a wreck Ran into a friend on his way to connect... Singin, “time flies when you’re having fun I wish I was having some Looks like I’m not the only one... 7:30 and I’m cleaning my gun Time flies when you’re having fun.” Holed up in a hotel room, down in Farmington Russian Roulette, Cowboys and Indians I thought it’d be different this time but it wasn't Now I’m feeling on my head for a reset button... Thinkin, “time flies when you’re having fun I wish I was having some Looks like I’m not the only one... 7:30... what the fuck have I done? Time flies when you’re having fun I said time flies when you’re fun Let me know when we start having fun

You said to me you wanna leave the life you know behind But before you make a big mistake, girl, put your hand in mine My conscience knows I must disclose down where you're being led And whatever road you choose, I’m already three steps ahead If you look before you leap, you’ll just think about the fall And if ya’ hit the breaks, you might skid and hit the wall There won't be time to think if you stop to think twice But, baby, you don't need my advice... Just make sure you’re sure Once we’ve left, don't hold your breath of ever coming home Wrong or right, or out of spite, to them, you’re on your own We don't need rings, just grab your things and throw ‘em in a sack But make sure thats what you want, ‘cos from here, we can’t come back If you look before you leap, you’ll just think about the fall And if ya’ hit the breaks, you might skid and hit the wall There won't be time to think if you stop to think twice But, baby, you don't need my advice... Just make sure you’re sure The odds are high, the chances slim, but at least you know the stakes If second thoughts are creeping in, then you ain't got what it takes The cracks in your constitution are starting to show If the gin in wearing thin, it’s no skin off my nose... If you look before you leap, you’ll just think about the fall And if ya’ hit the breaks, you might skid and hit the wall Ya’ know, from where I’m standing, you ain't got nothing to lose Then again, I ain't standing in your shoes... Now make sure you’re sure You better make sure you’re sure...

It’s the way you look at me when we pass by in the hall And sometimes when we touch, I don't think we touch at all I’ll be the one that stays when the others, they’ve all gone away I will always be your slave I feel the distance grow each time I draw you near And I watch as you tear down everything I hold dear I took these vows with you to love you from here to the grave I will always be your slave Even when you deny me to your family and friends... I never ask you where you’re going I never ask where the fuck have you been? Darlin’, now I see something in your eyes I don’t wanna see It’s the way you look at me when we pass by in the hall And sometimes when we fuck, I don't think we fuck at all I’ll be the one that stays when the others, they’ve all gone away I will always be your slave

I try not to watch the clock Cos its running on borrowed time And the way you make my heart stop When you tell me that you're only mine Try to hold the minutes in my hand Don't let em slip away Girl there ain't enough hours in the day Cos every second counts Every stolen smile Every fleeting touch Makes it worth my while And I'm willing to pay No matter what the amount Cos when it comes to you (when it comes to you) Every second counts When it comes to you Every second counts Even tho its been years Every days as fresh as yesterday And through all the smiles and tears Baby, right here is where i wanna stay Hard times come and go And no one knows what tomorrow brings But i'm sticking with you till the bell rings Cos every seconds counts Every stolen smile Every fleeting touch Makes it worth my while And I'm willing to pay, yeah No matter what the amount Cos when it comes to you Every second counts When it comes to you Every second counts Cos every seconds counts Every stolen smile Every fleeting touch Makes it worth my while And I'm willing to pay, yeah No matter what the amount Cos when it comes to you (when it comes to you) Every second counts When it comes to you Every second counts

The first time I ever saw her on the steps of the alternative school Pitching quarters with the black girls Yeah, I knew she was nobody's fool Popping her gum as loud as a pistol As she raked in all of her dough I swear to God I knew it right then And to this day, I still know... She's my GED sweetheart She's been with me from the start And from this life till the next She'll wear my cross around her neck We had our first date at a party, a kegger at a rich kids roost We did it in his parents bedroom Then we cased what we wanted to boost We grabbed all the pills and liquor And we slid out the sliding door But we barely made it to the bushes Till my baby was begging for more... She's my GED sweetheart She's been with me from the start And from this life till the next She'll wear my cross around her neck

You haven't learned your lesson since the last time That you sat here with your back against the wall And you didn't care how bad you'd hurt your loved ones Even when you watched their teardrops fall From the roads you chose You know, I think you like to lose Your the first one to desert You know I think you like to hurt yourself You haven't changed anything since the last time That you filled this room with guilty lies And the fact that your back where it all started Doesn't come as any big surprise Old wounds are quickly felt when history repeats itself No bill is overdue But you still think the world owes you Yes I know you beat the odds Even though you never had a chance Just around every turn Was a friendship you didn't earn And one you were quick to toss aside... You haven't changed anything since the last time That you sat here, on trial, yet again I promised myself then it'd be the last time... And god knows, I wished it would have been

Know I let you down, and I’m sorry for that There’s a million things that I’d take back Honey, lie down, close your eyes, try to forget We’re not always gonna live like this Check to check, month to month, hand to fist... Lie down... try to forget the things I’ve done All the times I’ve made us run If we give up now, it’ll mean they've won Life’s too long to make mistakes Around the corner is where they wait The pain is hard to keep at bay But remember, don’t let it slip away There’s a lifetime ahead of us Don't Let It Slip Away Just on the other side of this mess Don’t let it slip away Hold it tight, hold it close The worst part’s over, for the most Just catch your breath... I look at the sacrifices that you’ve made It makes me wonder why you’ve always stayed Through the hard times. When it was only me holding you back All we have is each other and our dreams And if we lose either one, what does the other mean? Not a damn thing... and I’ve seen you put yours on hold Even when your beat, you never fold It won't be long til your heart turns cold Life’s too long to make mistakes Around the corner is where they wait The pain is hard to keep at bay But remember, don’t let it slip away There’s a lifetime ahead of us Just on the other side of this mess Don’t let it slip away Hold it tight, hold it close The worst part’s over, for the most Just catch your breath...
