Bayside Album

You, you never call
You never write me or nothing
I set myself up to fall
I was stupid then to try
And I'll live in a lie
I made a fantasy world but the hero won't win this time
'Cause your pipedream gets flushed away

By all means I'm getting mad
That don't mean I don't feel sorry for you

How sad you're gonna be
I wish I could stick around
To see your face when you realize you've permanently changed
And it's all thanks to me I was wrong for coming here
You'll wake alone and run around your lonely home
Look for my face but I'm already gone

You, you never call
You never write me or nothing
I set myself up to fall
I was stupid then to try
There was something in the way
something in the way
something in the way
that you shut the door
I couldn't get enough when you blow me off
I just kept dragging myself back for more

By all means I'm getting mad
That don't mean I don't feel sorry for you

How sad you're gonna be
I wish I could stick around
To see your face when you realize you've permanently changed
And it's all thanks to me I was wrong for coming here
You'll wake alone and run around your lonely home
Look for my face but I'm already gone

One day you're gonna see the life sentence you gave to me
But I swear one day we will share this cell
I know it's cold but I will keep us warm with all the hate I radiate
We'll be walking hand in hand in hell
(We'll be walking hand in hand in hell)

How sad you're gonna be
I wish I could stick around
To see your face when you realize you've permanently changed
And it's all thanks to me I was wrong for coming here
You'll wake alone and run around your lonely home
Look for my face but I'm already gone

I curse to hell the magistrate who granted this unholy fate
But I know, I know I asked for this myself I'm bound by law to hell
And it's Sick! Sick! Sick!
Humans have their needs, living in a fairy tale is tearing at the seem
Yeah, it's anchorage, no it's the devil in a dress, is exactly what you see

Sick! Sick! Sick!
It's Sick! Sick! Sick!

You made a mess of things
My what a mess you've made
I hate the way you make me feel
I hate the way you make me
And your world is cold outside
So button up and open wide
I hate the way you make me feel
Sick! Sick! Sick!

If memory serves me correct I gave you all, you gave me less
You're sex capades deliver checks, but can't afford you self respect
And it's Sick! Sick! Sick!
Humans on their knees, living in a fairy tale is tearing at the seems
Yeah, it's anchorage, no it's the devil in a dress, exactly what you see
Sick! Sick! Sick!

You made a mess of things
My what a mess you've made
I hate the way you me feel

I hate the way you make me
Your world is cold outside
So button up and open wide
I hate the way you make me feel
Sick! Sick! Sick!

Maybe love is looking for someone to fill the holes
We grow up building lives with holes in all our walls
The walls could fall but here you were with spare bricks to save the day
And we pray it's not to late spare bricks could be dead weight

Sick! Sick! Sick!
It's Sick! Sick! Sick!
Sick! Sick! Sick!
You're Sick! Sick! Sick!

You made a mess of things
My what a mess you've made
I hate the way you make me feel
I hate the way you make me
And you're world is cold outside
So button up and open wide
I hate the way you make me feel
Sick! Sick! Sick

I thought maybe we'd made a pact,
But you gave into foul temptations making all the
Wrong moves and the wrong decisions
Making lies up for all the right questions
Maybe I was just asking too much
I don't think it's likely you're just made from all the wrong stuff
Your bed's been made

Mona Lisa, you've really done something,
Done a number on all of my organs
Mona Lisa, you've really done something,
Done a number on all of my organs

I must say I commend you on all of your fire,
Soaring highs and drowning lows,
Full speed ahead you go with all of your heartache
It's all greater 10 minutes till doomsday
All the while just showing your teeth,
Smiling or growling, never sure I just wait and see
Your bed's been made, now go die in it.

Mona Lisa, you've really done something,
Done a number on all of my organs
Mona Lisa, you've really done something,
Done a number on all of my organs

And I've been racking my brain figuring out what to say,
But it may be safe to bet,
That the day might come where I'd forgive what you've done
But it still hasn't happened yet

Your bed's been made, now go die in it.

Mona Lisa, you've really done something,
You're the black ice on my road to wholesome
Mona Lisa, you've really done something,
Done a number on all of my organs
On all of my organs

I had a place to live in
I had a job worth quitting
I had some things I had to change
Mistakes, but we all make them
We celebrate being young
I had the chance to run away
And I wish upon a satellite that wrong can't turn to right
Believe me

Then we are (then we are) our only chance in the world
Face your failures, hope they'll see us through
We are (we are) the only chance in the world
So stand for something, cause somethings over due
And I don't ask for much
But this could define a lifetime
A dead man's hands, we are the only friends we ever had

They called it education
I saw a means to an end
I saw my life another way
To live and die a king i thought
There could be worse fates to land upon
And I'd go back home when it all blew up in my face

And I wish upon a satellite that wrong can't turn to right
Believe me

Then we are (then we are) our only chance in the world
Face your failures, hope we'll see us through
We are (we are) our only chance in the world
So stand for something, cause somethings overdue
And I don't ask for much
But this could define a lifetime
A dead man's hands, we are the only friends we ever had

You need a map to see how far
I was sticking out my neck
We all have things that we all second guess
And fears of being ordinary

And I'll wish upon a satellite that wrong can't turn to right
Believe me

That we are (we are) our only chance in the world
Face your failures, hope we'll see us through
We are (we are) our only chance in the world
So stand for something, cause somethings overdue
And I don't ask for much
But this could define a lifetime
A dead man's hands, we are the only friends we ever had

A dead man's hands, we are the only friends we ever had

This place is dragging me down
A hamster wheel, I thought I'd be done by now
Now that all my allies are gone
I realize advancing could hold you back

My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
But it's high tide and they get washed away with time
Until everything's gone, until everything's gone

I was flying along the Long Island sound
But fine's polite I'd rather things more profound
I've become a rock these days and I swim like one
Alone again, barely surviving the tidal wave

My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
But it's high tide and they get washed away with time
Until everything's gone, until everything's gone

I swear, damn it all to hell, damn it all to hell

I think I finally found the way to go to heaven
Without dying, so I'm on my way
The harder you work, the harder you fall
You wake up one day with nothing at all

My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
But it's high tide and they get washed away with time
Until everything's gone, until everything's gone
Until everything's gone, until everything's gone
I swear, damn it all to hell

This is the first scene of an act
With my own hand stuck in my back
Around here the puppet is the puppeteer
And I was down for the proverbial count
So what do you want from me?
Another song about apathy?
Heartbreak is a friend these days
But I couldn't care less
That's what I've been paid to say

I am lost a lot, but you can't believe me
And my stomach knots, but you can't see that
Whoa, I can't find my way, Whoa, I can't find it
Should I say something sensational now?
This life comes with some doubts

And now my life has become a circus
In the center ring, I'm a crying clown
It's a little too exciting on the trapeze
When you swing with your eyes closed to the ground
And pain can feel like a boomerang
You close your eyes it comes back again
Heartbreak is a trend these days
I couldn't care less
I've never been that trendy anyway

I am lost a lot, but you can't believe me
And my stomach knots, but you can't see that
Whoa, I can't find my way, Whoa, I can't find it
Should I say something sensational now?
This life comes with some doubts

We'll run along thinking everything is wrong
Watch our lives from a bar
Looking back is not so bad
Realize what you've been missing

Whoa, I can't find my way, Whoa, I can't find my way
Whoa, I can't find my way, Whoa, I can't find my way

I've seen you bite your nails in guilty thought
Thought you couldn't care less until I saw those paws
I'd say if ya took a bite for every lie you told
You would've run out of fingers and started on your toes

Don't think you're on to something good right now
So let's go back to the starting place

And I believe in futures, but I can't afford to wait
You've been doing it the wrong way
And some day you'll find something that makes you feel okay
But until then you'll make your own way

You're the type of girl who puts on cyanide perfume
Then asks for kisses on the neck from every boy in the room
So tell me now how you find yourself at the bottom of a bottle in a bar
And how your reflection reacts to you and your new scars

I don't think you're on to something good right now
I don't think you're on to something good right now
So let's go back to the starting place

And I believe in futures, but I can't afford to wait
You've been doing it the wrong way
And some day you'll find something that makes you feel okay
But until then you'll make your own way

All's well that ends well, I'm finished with this game
There's got to be a better way than learning from your mistakes
A small step for man now with you out of the way
But now it's up to me to change
And make it so tomorrow starts today

And I believe in futures, but I can't afford to wait
You've been doing it the wrong way
And some day you'll find something that makes you feel okay
But until then you'll make your own way

So I sit here writing words in our old place
They all come out as letters
And I contemplate mistakes that we all make
Start and the ending of eras
When mystery fades
We identify the problems
But, they may not be problems after all

[Pre-Chorus]
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...

[Chorus]
And I can't let it bother me
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?

So I sit here carving words into the wall
Words that remind me of just how I was
I never felt as old and lonely as I felt
When I was young and in love
When mystery fades
We identify the problems
But, they may not be problems after all

[Pre-Chorus]
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...

[Chorus]
And I can't let it bother me
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
Can't let it bother me
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?

Too seriously,
Too seriously...

If I should fall down would you wait for me?
If I was out would you be home?
If I should pray then would you pray with me?
If I fell in love would I be in love alone?

This isn't half of what I thought it'd be
At what point does love become routine?
I had to wait, I had to wait, I had to wait to see
That who you are is not who I hoped you'd be

Now I don't know where to go
I don't know if this thing's still working
My heart's not beating anymore
And I don't know if I bleed
Test it out just to see
Cuz the best that I can hope to be
Is strong enough to leave

I never lived and died by ecstasy
Fun's never been my cup of tea
But now I try, but now I try, but now I try to be
The best I can for no one else but me

And I don't know where to go
I don't know if this thing's still working
My heart's not beating anymore
And I don't know if I bleed
Test it out just to see
Cuz the best that I can hope to be
Is strong enough to leave

You're such a shame love, what those animals say to ya
You're such a shame love, what those animals say to ya
You're such a shame love, what those animals say to ya
What they do when they came for ya
Just think it through, you never learned what not to do
A shame love, what those animals say to ya
What they do when they came for ya
Just think it through, you never learned what not to do
A shame love, You're such a shame love, a shame love

And I don't know where to go
I don't know if this thing's still working
My heart's not beating anymore
I don't know if I bleed
Test it out just to see
Is this the best that I can hope to be

And I don't know where to go
(Don't know where)
Don't know if this thing's still working
My heart's not beating anymore
And don't know if I bleed
(Don't know if I bleed)
Don't know if this thing's still working
The best that I can hope to be
Is strong enough to leave

I head home, the halfway point in between progress and alone
Forever more, I am a faded sweatshirt
You forgot was hanging on the closet door
But it's the ride, its not the point (you answer back?)
Treating everyday like it could be your last
One day it will, one day it will
And we will praise you at your funeral for this life you tried to build

Spend all my life waiting for a moment to come, to come
Walking single file waiting for a moment to come, but it won't
I'm halfway to happy now, and I always mistake it for progress

Morning comes, your bed's a safe place
Your eyelids blocking pain but standing in the way
Stay off the brink, come whatever may
Hope for the best, be okay with anything
Lets get a life, allow ourselves to change
Don't be convinced everything will stay the same
You're beaten down, like everyone
But can a person make a difference if he never makes a sound?

I spend all my life waiting for a moment to come, to come
Walking single file waiting for a moment to come, but it won't
I'm halfway to happy now, and I always mistake it for progress
for progress, for progress

Spend all my life waiting for a moment to come, to come
Walking single file waiting for a moment to come, but it won't
We all have to test our will, a trial
I'm halfway to happy now, and I always mistake it for progress
for progress, for progress, for progress
