Sum 41 Album

Children of the beast embrace
To scorn and hate the human race
Consume the light that hugs the earth
And aid the womb in giving birth
To a group that will appear
And guide through this final year
The dark armies then will come
When the sum is 41!

Was happiness a fad?
Or was it in the lost in found again behind the issues.
It might not be so bad,
We're all addicted to our tragedy,
I guess it's what it had to be.

With nothing on my back,
It's still enough to bring me down.
My mind's about to crack,
Cause what I thought could not be found.
Matter of in fact,
It's harder still when you're around.
With nothing on my back,
I can't help but drown.

I might as well belong to both of you.
And the mess you always seem to drag me through.
That night forever always haunting me.
But I guess it is what it's supposed to be,
But spare your thoughts of sympathy.

With nothing on my back,
It's still enough to bring me down.
My mind's about to crack,
Cause what I thought could not be found.
Matter of in fact,
It's harder still when you're around.
With nothing on my back,
I can't help but drown.

With nothing on my back,
It's still enough to bring me down.
My mind's about to crack,
Cause what I thought could not be found.
With nothing on my back,
It's still enough to bring me down.
My mind's about to crack,
Cause what I thought could not be found.
With nothing on my back,
It's still enough to bring me down.
My mind's about to crack,
Cause what I thought could not be found.
With nothing on my back,
It's still enough to bring me down.
My mind's about to crack,
Cause what I thought could not be found.

With nothing on my back,
It's still enough to bring me down.
My mind's about to crack,
Cause what I thought could not be found.
Matter of in fact,
It's harder still when you're around.
With nothing on my back,
I can't help but drown.

Jump all you can
And you got out your right foot
The sooner you get out
In your hide away
I might be left dead
Side of the road
Serves a place and time

I plan on never waking up [2x]

Jump all you can
And you got out your right foot
The sooner you get out
In your hide away
I might be left dead
Get out the way
Serves a place and time

I plan on never waking up [4x]

Storming through the party like my name was El ninio
When I'm handgun out drinking in the back of an El camino
As a kid, I was a skid and no one knew me by name.
I trashed my own house party cause no body came.

I know I'm not the one you thought you knew back in high school
Never going, ever showing up when we had to.
attention that we crave don't tell us to behave,
I'm sick of always hearing act your age.

I don't want to waste my time
become another casualty of society.
I'll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down.

Because you don't
Know us at all we laugh when old people fall.
But what would you expect with a conscience so small.
Heavy metal and mullets it's how we were raised.
Maiden and priest were the gods that we praised

Cause we like having fun at other peoples expense and,
Cutting people down is just a minor offence then,
It's none of your concern, I guess I'll never learn.
I'm sick of being told to wait my turn.

I don't want to waste my time
become another casualty of society.
I'll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down.

Don't count on me, to let you know when.
Don't count on me, I'll do it again.
Don't count on me, it's the point you're missing.
Don't count on me, cause I'm not listening.

Well I'm a no goodnick lower middle class brat,
Back packed and I don't give a shit about nothing.
You be standing on the corner talking all that kufuffin.
But you don't make sense from all the gas you be huffing.
Then if the egg don't stain you'll be ringing off the hook,
You're on the hit list wanted in the telephone book.
I like songs with distortion, to drink in proportion.
The doctor said my mom should have had an abortion.

I don't want to waste my time
become another casualty of society.
I'll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down.

Waste my time with them
Casualty of society.
Waste my time again,
Victim of your conformity
And back down.

Mad in a way but I don't say,
It's what you're used to.
I got the words but can't convey.
I know you'll turn it all around,
Cause that's the rhythms that you go through
Get it back and you're not obliged to say,
Not intact but you're better off anyway.
Somehow it's never up to me.
What if I would say?
Simple words I can't relate.
I don't place upon your view,
It's the rhythms that you go through.

I know what I want,
You just take me through the motions.
I know what I want,
And that's more than you can say.

Since you found me out,
Since you found me out,
Since you found me out,
Since you found me out.

Your story still remains
It's so unlike still you stay the same,
And all the while you're counting on your day to come,
But nothing ever told you.
You would say that it's only for a day.
Yesterday's last week tomorrow's on its way.
And I'm falling faster all the time.

What if I would say?
Simple words I can't relate.
What came easy is now too late.
And it was always standing right in front of me.

I know what I want,
You just take me through the motions.
I know what I want,
And that's more than you can say.

All the time you thought worth saving,
You still end up with memories fading.
After all that you wouldn't do,
It makes no sense, but it's that rhythms that you go through.

I know what I want,
You just take me through the motions.
I know what I want,
And that's more than you can say. I know what I want,
You just take me through the motions.
I know what I want,
And that's more than you can say.

Since you found me out,
Since you found me out,
Since you found me out,
Since you found me out.

What's the difference of never knowing at all?
When every step I take is always too small.
Maybe it's just something I can't admit but lately,
I feel like I don't give a shit.

Motivation such an aggravation,
Accusations don't know how to take them.
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it.
Concentration's never hard to brake it.
Situation never what you want it to be.

What's the point of never making mistakes?
Self-indulgence is such a hard habit to brake.
It's all just a waste of time in the end.
I don't care so why should I even pretend.

Motivation such an aggravation,
Accusations don't know how to take them.
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it.
Concentration's never hard to brake it.
Situation never what you want it.

Nothing's new, everything's the same.
It keeps on dragging me down, it's getting kind of lame.
I'm falling further behind, there's nothing to explain.
No matter what you say nothing 's gonna change my mind.

Can't pretend on doubt until the end.
It seems like leaving friends has become
This years trend and though I can't pretend.
It's not the same but who's to blame,
For all those stupid things I never said.

Motivation such an aggravation,
Accusations don't know how to take them.
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it.
Concentration's never hard to brake it.
Situation never what you want it to be.

Motivation such an aggravation,
Accusations don't know how to take them.
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it.
Concentration's never hard to brake it.
Situation never what you want it to be.

Never what you want it to be.
Never what you want it to be.

The faster we're falling,
We're stopping and stalling.
We're running in circles again
Just as things we're looking up
You said it wasn't good enough.
But still we're trying one more time.

Maybe we're just trying to hard.
When really it's closer than it is too far

Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Instead of going under.

Seems like each time
I'm with you I loose my mind,
Because I'm bending over backwards to relate.
It's one thing to complain
But when you're driving me insane
Well then I think it's time that we took a break.

Maybe we're just trying to hard.
When really it's closer than it is too far

Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Instead of going under.
Instead of going under.

I can't sit back and wonder why.
It took so long for this to die.
And I hate it when you fake it.
You can't hide it you might as well embrace it.
So believe me it's not easy.
It seems that something's telling me,

Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Instead of going under.
instead of going under.

instead of going under again.
instead of going under.
instead of going under again.
instead of going under again.

It's far beyond your reach, it holds a place in time,
Somewhere ahead is the back of the line.
I can't relate to your mistakes, awkwardly speaking with nothing to say.

Caught up in your life, excuses are so lame,
You may be different but I'm still the same.
The reasons that you thought, the intention that you caught,
You say things are simple we both know they're not.
You can't let it go,

Whoa.

You can't but I know.

Whoa, Whoa you don't even know.

[Chorus]

It's not in what you do, more in what you say.

A million questions asked, the remnants of the past.
You've always been denied, but always by your side.
I've always tried to, to understand you,
the worlds not learning from you.

Whoa. Whoa.

[Chorus]

You said it once before, you don't do those things you used to anymore.
You say in doubt, were fading out, forgetting who we used to be.

Cause I will bring you down,
I don't want to miss, I don't think you can handle this.
You've lost what you can't find; it's never what you had in mind.

You take it with a smile; it's so easy when you're always in denial
Just in time but out of line I can't make all the same mistakes you want me to.

Cause I will bring you down,
I don't want to miss, I don't think you can handle this.
You've lost what you can't find; it's never what you had in mind.

Your giving up you know it's not what you need.
And it's true what you're going through.
Try so hard not listen to everything I never say.

Cause I will bring you down,
I don't want to miss, I don't think you can handle this.
You've lost what you can't find; it's never what you had in mind.

I'm getting over getting used to,
And after all that I put you through now I see I'm not the only one.

I never thought It'd ever come to,
This in fact was never what you wanted from me or how you meant it to be.

Don't know what you've really got. 
It's hard to stay and not pretend.
You can't make sense in what you've thought.
It seems I can't comprehend.
Well I'm happy to be, only all that you see.
And I'm not one to learn to be the same.

I don't wanna hear you bitch no more.
I was better of a year before.
No matter how I try I can't ignore.
But every time I think my brain gets sore
When I'm with you.

What's so hard about good-byes?
ong (our love goes strong so long)
Couldn't we please be happily ever after (couldn't we be, baby)
Leaving you never stays forever strong

[Case]
When i was away (umm...hmm)
Some friends became just faces
Some people grew apart
But you stayed right in my heart
In so many times, could picture this day inside my mind
And for so many years, ooh
I knew it would be you here with me, ooh (yes i will)
Take you for my wife, the center of my life
And i will never ever fade
From this choice I've made, ooh...oh

Couldn't we please be happily ever after (come on)
We could be strong together for so long
Couldn't we please be happily ever after
Leaving you never stays forever strong (hey...ooh...hey yeah)

This place reminds me of,
A time that's way too old.
These thoughts have gathered up the memories unfold.
But for now I don't see what's so wrong with pretending
It's true I thought you knew.

Believe her, it's all she's got to pass the time
Believe her, it's over now she's passed her prime.
Believe her, it's all she's got to keep things right
Believe her it's all she's got it's all she's got.
It's all she's got, it's all she's got.

These days keep getting worse I'm wasting all my time.
I thought I'd come in first, instead I fell behind.
I don't know, I don't know if I can keep this up to long.
It seems most every time my motives are all wrong
But for now I don't see what's so wrong with pretending
It's true I thought you knew.

Believe her, it's all she's got to pass the time
Believe her, it's over now she's passed her prime.
Believe her, it's all she's got to keep things right
Believe her it's all she's got it's all she's got.

It's times like this, but time's run out
It's times like this, but time's run out
It's times like this, but time's run out
It's times like this, I want to,

Believe her, it's all she's got to pass the time
Believe her, it's over now she's passed her prime.
Believe her, it's all she's got to keep things right
Believe her it's all she's got it's all she's got.

Remember when there was nothing else to do, but lie and bed and,
wonder how it was always up to you, and no one else and,
Early mornings, made by warnings, what's the point of the alarm that I'm ignoring?
It's either raining, I'm not complaining, but waking up is hard to do so,

[chorus]

Turn my head its back to bed with no delay, can't be bothered by the phone ten times a day,
Why get up my morning doesn't even start till two?
Forget reality waking up is hard to do.

Remember when we would hang out every day, and we would rather,
Not be told what to do or what to say, Cause nothing mattered.
Never boring with slept in mornings, not ashamed of bad habits that I'm forming.
Its not important if days are shortened, I can't make time when nothings new,
Cause waking up is hard to do so,

[chorus]

What's a day when it all ends up the same, and lasts forever?
Can't complain when there's nothing there to blame, and things can't be better.
Summer evenings, teenage grievings, got no problem with the life that I've been leading.
No concentration on hesitation, I can't make time when nothings new, Cause waking up is hard to do so!

[chorus]

The seas have parted,
the endings started,
the sky has turned to black.
A killing spree through eternity,
the devil stabs you in the back,
It's midnight now you must escape somehow,
torture is his leisure,
don't try to hide he'll make you subside,
as he exchanges pain for pleasure,

[chorus]
Pain for pleasure, he's the hunter you're the game,
Pain for pleasure, Satan is his name!"

You're running fast and missing but cannot help
convincing.
The reasons you gave me are all wearing thin.
It's not meant to hurt you but let me assure,
It's not what I said but intentions you've read.

So when you hold onto the past then you
Will break down what little is left.
There's nothing more you can't ignore,
And say it makes no difference to me.

Now that you're older life's weighing on your
shoulders.
You can't seem to keep things so perfectly straight.
With most things so basic you might as well face it.
You can't help but worry it's all just begun

So when you hold onto the past then you,
Will break down what little is left.
There's nothing more you can't ignore,
And say it makes no difference to me.

It makes no difference,
It makes no difference to me,
It makes no difference,
It makes no difference to me
