The Cold Sweat Shakes
03:28

The needle hits and the whole room spins
I feel the rush as the track kicks in
Like waves of ink down these arms of mine
I crave a kiss from those vinyl lips
I taste it once and it hits like the plot of a bad dream
"...And out come the wolves" on this sleepless night
And it's the songs that move me
But it's the pain that is so soothing
And it keeps you up at night
As it eats you up inside
And the cold sweat shakes keep you safe in your lover's eyes
It was your brother's favorite song
You hear it once and sing along
Don't let it stop. It's keeping us alive
As the record plays tonight
I feel it pulse up and down my spine
I start to shake as I lose my mind
And I escape from these jaws of life
And it's the songs that move me
But it's the pain that is so soothing
And it keeps you up at night
As it eats you up inside
And the cold sweat shakes keep you safe in your lover's eyes
It was your brother's favorite song
You hear it once and sing along
Don't let it stop. It's keeping us alive
As the record plays tonight

Jack And Jawbreaker

This conversation is going nowhere
I pour my thoughts out down the drain
She cleans the mess and screams out, "I don't care
if you leave or if you stay".
And I feel more alone
Around the one I love the most
Lost highway on my own
Destined for the open road
I've been awake all night draining pens and ink
Words are pouring out, no one's listening
If this is who I am and who I'm supposed to be
Then open up and tell me why the best of me
Is not enough for you
I see the second hand ticking faster
I count the minutes melt away
It's just a moment until this disaster
"Kiss the bottle" to numb the pain
Was it just jealousy or was I a fool to believe?
Last call for you and me
I pick my poison as she leaves
I've been awake all night draining pens and ink
Words are pouring out, no one's listening
If this is who I am and who I'm supposed to be
Then open up and tell me why the best of me
Is not enough for you
Conscience drowning, head still pounding
Sirens sound but no one's coming
I've been awake all night draining pens and ink
Words are pouring out, no one's listening
If this is who I am and who I'm supposed to be
Then open up and tell me why the best of me
Is not enough for you

Goodbye For Now
03:09
|

All that I have are photographs and tattoos,
Relics from good times, and songs I've sang amongst you
A face amidst a crowd with hopes of breaking out of
Giving up and growing old or fighting wars to stay young
I hope you still believe in something
Goodbye, goodbye for now. Say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye for now. Say goodbye
Here's to death of dying dreams
And better days for friends and family
I hope you know those lyrics had more meaning
Than words bled on a page from a broken heart melody
Our youth is never lost. That feeling's so deceiving
It lives within our hearts even though we're all descending
I hope you still believe in something
Goodbye, goodbye for now. Say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye for now. Say goodbye
Here's to death of dying dreams
And better days for friends and family

Her Name Was "The Road"
05:43

I crashed my car through your front door
The same old "sorry baby" doesn't matter anymore
I see that sad look in your eyes
I could at least apologize
To tell the truth, I'd rather lie, and say that "I'll be home tonight"
My one true love, her name's the road.
I've held her close to my heart since we met ten years ago
Night after night, the boys and I
Strum these chords just to survive
Another verse could make her mine and fall in love for just one night
Then she said,
"You're a no good son of a bitch with a fear of love and a death wish"
I had to agree. I had to agree
Then she said,
"You're a no good son of a bitch with a lust for life and you'll never quit"
I had to agree. I had to agree
Maybe things would be different if you loved somebody else
I'd swear to god but you know I don't believe in hell
Then she said,
"You're a no good son of a bitch with a fear of love and a death wish"
I had to agree. I had to agree
Then she said,
"You're a no good son of a bitch with a lust for life and you'll never quit"
I had to agree. I had to agree
Then she said,
"You're a no good son of a bitch and you drink too much and I'm sick of it"
I had to agree. I had to agree
Then she said,
"You're a no good son of a bitch and your life's a wreck and I'm over it"
I had to agree. I had to agree
And I said, "baby, will you please forgive me?"
Then she said, "Maybe. We'll just have to see if you're worthy".
