1.
Time's up, it's time to shake the hidden hand behind the master plan When I lay my bones out to bleach and the vultures pick me clean The last wave washes me off the edge of the sand Surrendering Now I know that I am not afraid When they call out my number, my last baited breath's a sigh of relief When it's time to unravel from the coil and disappear into the soil I'm left in peace to descend into the debris
2.
The Motions 01:22
Somebody pluck my mind out of the gutter Before I go completely and utterly under If you count on me, count me out Do I have anything better to do than wait to die of old age All the things I could do if I wasn't staring at a blank page California, California Chasing myself with nowhere to run California, California Hung out to dry in the desert sun
3.
Crying Wolf 03:22
Sit down, shut up, don't make another move You've neither lived nor learned if you can't cough up the proof Jump off the bridge and watch it burn And run yourself into the ground at every turn He's crying wolf again Now he's howling at the moon Big ideas from a small mind that spoke too soon I don't even wanna know if it's true I'm just wondering what the fuck is wrong with you In one ear and out the other There's nothing in the middle
4.
It's a petty tragedy Knocked the sympathy right out of me Get behind a lost cause Take a permanent pause You must've seen the light and it must've struck you blind You're lagging far behind what you think you're gonna find With your head held up high and your feet in quicksand Your best-laid plans are out of your hands But everybody gets what they think they deserve Build four walls around a rut Doors and windows boarded shut Light escapes through the cracks Til all you see fades to black Without a clue, without a doubt, lead the way with a light gone out All the way up a wall til you take another fall Hit the ground running back up, when will you add it up Have you had enough You're gonna get what you think you deserve I can't mend, I can't defend, I can't push you through a dead end There's noone to fight or prove wrong or right or show that you're feeling contrite The last flash of a spark, ashes scattered in the dark Fallen apart What did you expect?
5.
Bad Idea 01:32
Am I out of my mind or am I onto you I've got a bad idea and I'm gonna follow through
6.
Will there be anybody left to smell me rotting in my cell Or am I the only one who will live to tell I don't believe in heaven but I sure believe in hell The end is near, almost here, the end is here Why can't it stop right here? Buried in a box of cinder blocks, tin cans and schematic plans Waiting out the blaze in my fireproof safe I'm counting the days
7.
Pinch me, am I awake Am I dead or alive for heavens sake Or am I stuck in the middle As the bed spins and the floor shakes They've come to collect their debt, string me up like a marionette Do I pay in full or make a bet? After the nightmare comes the rude awakening Let the witch hunt begin Went to bed and woke up dead Pulled kicking and screaming out of bed It's time to learn a lesson, sign this confession And offer up a pound of flesh When the sun sets on judgment day You can chase me into my shallow grave I'll come back from this bender marked return to sender And it'll never ever end
