3. Look What Happened

And I swear its my last time
And I swear its my last try
And well walk in circles around this whole block
Walk on the cracks on the same old sidewalks
And well talk bout leaving town
Yeah well talk about leaving
I swear its the last time
I swear its my last try

We rode across that bridge all night
We talked out way through city lights
Traced all the lines; were killing time
Under those buzzing signs
From downtown to anywhere but here
Tonight yeah I swear to these rooftops
And just hoped that car would never stop

And I swear its the last time and I swear its my last try
And well walk in circles around this whole block
Walk on the cracks of the same old sidewalks
And well talk about leaving town
Yeah well talk about leaving
I swear its the last time
I swear its my last try

We drove around this place all night
Past closed signs and familiar sights
Were moving by passing time
Counting those center lines
With 20,000 lines left to go
That lead to somewhere I dont know
It might be the time that we leave this all behind

Theres been a few times
That we thought it felt right
To take all the westbound signs
And just leave town tonight

And I swear its the last time and I swear its my last try
And well walk in circles around this whole block
Walk on the cracks of the same old sidewalks
And well talk about leaving town
Yeah well talk about leaving
I swear its the last time
I swear its my last try

4. The Science Of Selling Yourself Short

Ive come to my senses that Ive become senseless
I could give you lessons how to ruin your friendships
Every last conviction I smoked them all away
Ive drank my frustrations, down the drain, out of the way

So I sit and wait and wonder
Does anyone else feel like me
Someone so tired of their routines
And disappearing self esteems

Ill sing along with every emergency
Just sing along, Im the king of catastrophes
Im so far gone that deep down inside I think
Its fine by me, Im my own worst enemy

I could be an expert on codependency
I could write the best book on underage tragedy
Ive been spending my time at the local liquor store
Ive been sleeping nightly on my best friends kitchen floor

So I sit and wait and wonder
Does anyone else feel like me
Im so overdosed on apathy
And burnt out on sympathy

Ill sing along with every emergency
Just sing along, Im the king of catastrophes
Im so far gone that deep down inside I think
Its fine by me, Im my own worst enemy

Let the meanings slip away
Lost my faith in another day
Self-deprecation seems okay
I never though Id make it anyway

5. Short Fuse Burning

These are all the reasons why
Ill be exploding tonight
And why this chip on my shoulder feel like a mile wide
Its from the overwork, overtime compromise

So Im looking tonight
For some piece of mind
Maybe then Ill find
Some strength inside
Cuz Ive lost any hope of ever changing
Im a short fuse burning

And remember who I
Who I used to be
Just this one trick ponys so strung out on routine
Stuck on repeat, like you wouldnt even believe

So Im looking tonight
For some piece of mind
Maybe then Ill find
Some strength inside
Cuz Ive lost any hope of ever changing
Im a short fuse burning

Hey everybody dont forget me
Hey everybody dont forget me
I forgot who I used to be
And Im a short fuse burning
Im so close to exploding

6. Motown Never Sounded So Good

So you say, all you white flags are up
And that youve had enough
And youre tired of collecting dust
You say everything always looks the same
And you need a brand new face
To match a brand new place
You say your distress calls have gone out
And your ship is going down

Well, I say it to myself all the time
Stop living half a life and stop
Feeling like Im half alive

I cant get enough; Im not satisfied
Ive wasted my time with this daily grind
In single file lines, is this real life?
I keep telling myself
Sometimes what matters is on the inside

Do you remember when we had all the answers
And can you really remember
When we wished anything better
Does it feel like its been forever
Does it feel like a broken record
Head full of yesterdays
You keep wishing your life away
You cant keep looking over your own shoulder
Things will never look up
Unless you start to look forward

I cant get enough; Im not satisfied
Ive wasted my time with this daily grind
In single file lines, is this real life?
I keep telling myself
Sometimes what matters is on the inside

I cant get enough; Im not satisfied
Ive wasted my time with this daily grind

I cant get enough; Im just getting by
I cant stand this design for our bitter lives
I keep feeling lost, Im not satisfied
With traffic lights and turnpikes
And these tired eyes
I cant get enough; Im not satisfied
Ive wasted my time with this daily grind
In single file lines, is this real life?
I keep telling myself
Sometimes what matters is on the inside

12. Plastic Cup Politics

Hello six pack of confidence
Been so many nights since we first met
Glad to see youve brought all your friends
For another night of plastic cup politics

Hello Mr. Six Pack of confidence
Im glad to see youve already met
Ms. Twelve ounces of loneliness
And Mr. Plastic cup politics
I see youre under the influence
Of warm beer and the comfort of all your friends
And I see that Mr. Loud Mouth has had his 40 ounce
And will pass out
I have no doubt
So drop your plastic cups and clear our clouded heads

I keep asking myself if they realize
That their fears are really just the same as mine
Do they know all their insecurities
Are the same ones that are inside of me
As people come and go
Do they know theyre really not alone?
And the life of the party just left
I guess I couldnt cure his emptiness
Like all the rest
So drop your plastic cups and clear your clouded heads

Here we are, another wasted night
And I am right along the side
Of forty sets of bloodshot eyes
And plastic smiles miles wide
Match plastic cups well leave behind

Its just another night of plastic cup politics
So drop your empty cups and clear your clouded heads
