Everything you ever wanted
Every price you should have won
Ever crime against your love ones
Every time she didn’t come
Every slap that you deserved
Every rule you didn’t break
Every step you didn’t follow
Every disappointing fail
The wives you didn’t beat up
A task I was so ready for
The kid you never played with
The gifts you never bought to her
Lost the will to become someone
To win the race and spat it back
And if you ever ask for more
You’ll face the tightrope by yourself
And I’m trying to keep some distance while I am waiting by the door
I don’t want to feel responsible for the damage to our home
There is a pattern of resistance for the lovers of the unknown
And I know you and your friends will only miss me when I’m gone
It’s so hard to keep perspective when you’re blinded by the light
That shines inside the monster when is ready to attack
I could try a different costume, but I’ll never play that part
You know I won’t do it…
Everything you took for granted

Talk To Me
03:49

Why don’t you talk to me now?
About the things that lovers should do
Why don’t you teach me how to
Open windows of my heart
I can’t discern anymore
If the curtain has fall or the show must go on
(When) it makes no difference to me
If we are together or alone
I used to pray before dawn
I lived in fear of letting you down
But now that fear is gone
Don’t Wake me up before night fall
We should be burning this town
Shouldn’t be sleeping around no more
Between these blankets, we are raw
I feel protected, after all
My sinking crutches, my only relief…
The cracks in my face refused to split
The spoken word won’t rule my world
Is this the penance for my sins?
Why don’t you talk to me now?

King Of The Underdogs

What dress will you wear as camouflage, at the break up party?
Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is?
Where does all this rage come from?
Who’s behind that door pulling all the stops?
As if he was on a mission
What you’ve been up to while I’ve been away? You can hardly say
Our house fall asleep to the sound of thunder
Anchored to this shore
Can’t loose myself in this crowd anymore
Long life the king of the underdogs!!!
I know your wrinkles inside out, my lizardtown
Tasted your sore lips, and your burnt skin. Oh! What a sin!
And you got nothing else to give to me, your soul is dry
You can’t always expect the rain to come to your rescue
You’ve crossed the line between right and wrong
I’m losing faith as my life goes on and you are not part of the picture
Long life the king of the underdogs!!!

Final Warning

Consider this your final warning, I’ve had enough
If I thought I won some battles you’ve won the war
We’ve been here so many times before
And you always forgot to close the door
I’m giving up. I’m giving you, this final warning
I hope you choke. We hope you choke, in your vomit
Once you reach your destination where do you go from there?
Always forgiven for being an angry young man
Playing some old tricks, pushing your luck
Then you realize how far you’ve gone
I’m giving up. I’m giving you, this final warning
I hope you choke. We hope you choke, in your vomit
We hope you choke…

Always Be Welcome

I know you have your reasons to get too drunk tonight
But don’t even mention suicide
Why do you hurt yourself when you should kick my ass?
You’ll feel so glad afterwards
Take your time to think and think about the times
When your love meant nothing to me
Don’t throw away the key; this house is still your home
And I won’t lock that door
You will always be welcome
The headless angel hits the floor
A trip to Vegas a one-man show
No, I can’t stand those memories
The clothes, the movies, the guitars
The tears, the sorrow and the stars
Now I’m feeling better
I know this bed is big enough
For you and me, and all we’re not
And all those lies, inside me
This city is huge I can get lost
I hope you find me cos I’m too drunk
To find the way back to your home
You will always be welcome
