well, I call this home now
these empty rooms where the trash piles up so high
I live on my own now
like when I first moved to this city in july
ten years ago and I don't feel any younger
and I'm glad there's no one here to waste my time
cause everyone has moved out
and the chore wheel rolled away without goodbye
yes, I call this home now
these empty rooms where the trash piles up so high
it smells like hell and there's nothing I can do about
bugs in the kitchen and this itching in my bed
me and my dog yeah all the neighbors hate us
and the landlord is still trying to kick me out
cause my home's a shithole
a thorn in the eye for this uptight house

thinking bout the time that lies behind without tears in my eyes
I swear these sundays let me feel I'm alive
not depression nor any hangover not even the scabies can bring me down
I wish you'd skip school everyday so we can hang around
for hours and hours
the world can turn out there without us
we're just happy for each other being here
I'm fucking broke these days and I got busted on the train
I'm sick of drinking and drugging my body is malfunctioning
I'm struggling for years over years just to finish my degree
used to worry bout all these petty problems
but hey this is not me anymore
cause I don't care this world's a bore
you're smiling at me so sincere and that's what's real
I've lost a couple of friends but I guess that's just the way things go
still don't know if my dad hates me or loves me but I just don't care anymore
and I still won't engage in any stupid fad with all those hypocrites I can't get along
and I won't let myself be possessed by anyone I've been unhappy for too long
but not anymore
cause I'm just tired of searching for
something no one ever gets
so let's spend this sunday in bed

Hospital Song

I crashed my bike the other day
my shoulder broke I knew it right away
on my way home back from the doctor
I thought from now on I'll get better
the ambulance took me to the hospital
my body was shaking from the pain
they treated me like some kind of alien
infectious punk gets locked away
so if you think that it can't get any worse
you don't understand this world at all
I cried alone in the isolation room
and prayed to every god I knew
I guess that no one felt responsible
my only companion will be my fear
titanium will keep my bones in place
at least I'll get painkillers for free
they will get me through the days at my parents house
cause they already drive me insane
so if you think that it can't get any worse
you don't understand this world at all
I'd say fuck god and his mysterious tracks
there's just no hope that can be found
oh I can't wait to get home to lick my wounds
it'll stop hurting when I see my friends again
oh I'm so sick of doctors and hospitals
where lotions and pills are my only friends
oh I'm so scared please don't let go of my hand
I think about you all night and day
when I get out I swear I'll do the best I can
to show everybody how happy I am
so if you think that it keeps getting worse
you'll have to find love on your own
I'd say fuck god and his mysterious tracks
there's just no hope that can be found

New Perspectives

the clouds move fast in the sky
changes are keeping me alive
let go of everything inside tells me my sober mind
I've been so lonesome I could have died
under full sail off to new coasts
let go of everything I hated most
now I know I've got a lot of friends I desperately depend on
this is not the end
I'm glad that this episode is through
I found someone whose perspective is new
finally I get some sleep at night
cause I've been so tired of feeling sad
I guess it's hard to keep in touch
hard to love this world as such
I know it sounds insane I found someone to ease the pain
all the others can go to hell
I've been tricked and treated for a year
I drowned my clear sight in tears
hindsight is easier than anything so tell me where's the point
guess I'm so grateful I'm still here...
I'm glad that this episode is through
I found someone whose perspective is new
finally I get some sleep at night
cause I've been so tired of feeling sad
