Opposite of Me Verse 1: You’re starting it again, You’re always pissed out of control. I will be right here with you, But this sure seems to take its toll. The last thing I would ever want is for karma to catch up with you. Step back, see what you lack and reflect on the things that you thought you knew PreChorus: Think about what you’re doing, and the lives that you will ruin Chorus: Not too late, contemplate to Try and recover from the things you discovered are wrong Not too late, Not too late You want it well then you got it. All on your own, you’re still unknown You’ve got something to prove, but you’re not gonna lose your way All on your own, All on your own You want it well then you got it. Not too late. Verse 2: Talk shit about us again, But it don’t phase me I’m alright. You’re not the first or the last, it turns out I’m not always right. I may be wrong on this, But the more you drink the worse it gets. The next time you open up, Wait until the sun, wait until the sun sets. PreChorus: Think about what you’re doing, and the lives in which you’ll ruin Chorus: Not too late, contemplate to Try and recover from the things you discovered are wrong Not too late, Not too late You want it well then you got it. All on your own, still unknown You’ve got something to prove, but you’re not gonna lose your way All on your own, All on your own You want it well then you got it. Not too late. Bridge/Solo: Chorus: Not too late, contemplate to Try and recover from the things you discovered are wrong Not too late, Not too late You want it well then you got it. All on your own, still unknown You’ve got something to prove, but you’re not gonna lose your way All on your own, All on your own You want it well then you got it. Not too late. It’s not, Not too late

Let’s Be Frank Verse 1: This has to be the worse feeling I have ever felt before It’s clear I’m letting go So easily despite how hard I try PreChorus: I was holding on and you were ready to go We didn’t have the strength to let each other know Chorus: I’m trying to find you but you’re nowhere to be found You’re already gone and you are wasted I want to see you but you just won’t come around As life goes on its hard to face it Verse 2: I’ll hesitate at first to tell you That I hope for better now Not just for you but for me If we separate I hope it makes you happy PreChorus: You would never show up when you did you’d be late It doesn’t change the past we made Chorus: I’m trying to find you but you’re nowhere to be found You’re already gone and you are wasted I want to see you but you just won’t come around As life goes on its hard to face it Bridge: I’m not mad I just miss you I’m sorry for the shit you’ve been through Chorus x2: I’m trying to find you but you’re nowhere to be found You’re already gone and you are wasted I want to see you but you just won’t come around As life goes on its hard to face it

Not Just A Song Just one more day Verse 1: It’s like the pressure starts to build up on my chest As if I need to react quick or let the flames spread and burn I look out in the distance, all I see is you smiling back What would it take to stop you, from creating all this mess PreChorus: If you thought we’d let this go to waste You were mistaken Chorus: From nothing to a situation Clock keeps ticking on, you keep tripping over everything I pick up on the words you’re saying So what I knew it all along I pick up on the words you’re saying I was wrong Verse 2: And now I have so much to say without anger in my way I know I cannot cower, leaving words out turns them sour If it all was just a song expect emotion to prolong In the end I feel no pain, like it or not I will never change PreChorus: If you thought we’d let this go to waste You were mistaken Chorus: From nothing to a situation Clock keeps ticking on, you keep tripping over everything I pick up on the words you’re saying So what I knew it all along I pick up on the words you’re saying I was wrong Bridge/Solo: Chorus: I can’t take back this aggravation Clock keeps ticking on you keep tripping over everything From nothing to a situation Clock keeps ticking on, you keep tripping over everything I pick up on the words you’re saying So what I knew it all along I pick up on the words you’re saying I was wrong The words you’re saying I already knew The way you hate the way I am It’s up to you

Best Way To Kill Your Past Goodbye! Verse 1: My heart is cold but your blood is black This is the end there’s no turning back I see you now and you don’t seem the same No self-respect you don’t have no shame Rock bottom, low as it gets Listen close I’ve got no regrets PreChorus: I can’t even think right now What did you even think and how did you decide Chorus: Didn’t get the message I guess I just closed my eyes The future it changes as the past begins to die How could you do this I will never realize To start it and end it at the same time (At the same time) Verse 2: Anger flows rushing to the brain I think of you, I think of a train That’s off its tracks and not coming back Lie and cheat right behind my back You wanted more than the average life Cut out my heart with a fucking knife PreChorus: I can’t even think right now What did you even think and how did you decide Chorus: Didn’t get the message I guess I just closed my eyes The future it changes as the past begins to die How could you do this I will never realize To start it and end it at the same time (At the same time) Bridge: How could you lie I had to try over a thousand times Now it’s my time To make you die in my mind Chorus: Didn’t get the message I guess I just closed my eyes The future it changes as the past begins to die How could you do this I will never realize To start it and end it at the same time (At the same time) End: You lied, I will kill you in my mind

Cedar Point Burns Verse 1: I never imagined the way this turned out, the way I ran away Live with the lies, verbal punishing putdowns, throw it in my face Delay my fate let me go, Let me find my own escape I found my place somewhere without a family, but here I feel safe Chorus: When I forget where I came from I’ll remind you once again I’m glad this had to end When all you know is wrong, and you have to stay strong I’ll try and change my ways and pretend it was just a phase Verse 2: I’m not what you hoped for, the prodigal son who crawls back to beg The hurt you inflicted, my love for you lifted, memories can plague Now I let go, wasn’t easy but more than holding on Leave me alone, never forget we are too far gone Chorus: When I forget where I came from I’ll remind you once again I’m glad this had to end When all you know is wrong, and you have to stay strong I’ll try and change my ways and pretend it was just a phase Bridge/Solo: Chorus x2: When I forget where I came from I’ll remind you once again I’m glad this had to end When all you know is wrong, and you have to stay strong I’ll try and change my ways and pretend it was just a phase I’m falling down, back down again I’m falling down, back down again I’m falling down, I’m falling down

Quitter 04:09
Quitter Verse: You expect perfection painted painfully With each action I take, I break casually To comfort your pride. (Despite my side) You never really believed in anything at all You were fucking with my mind Now it’s my time. Pre-Chorus: Knock down the walls or just fade away Walking carcass that filled space. Work it out or walk away Rather someone care than a familiar face. Chorus: So long, say goodbye to yesterday Another turning point, another way You left us dry but we’re okay We saw it coming almost everyday Verse: Now and then I would bend to relate to you But hesitate cuz I hate the things you do But I respect what you’ve been through. (But I’m not through) We needed you more but you’ll never know We paid a debt that we still owe But the truth is still unknown. (You’d rather be unknown) Pre-Chorus: Knock down the walls or just fade away Walking carcass that filled space. Work it out or walk away Rather someone care than a familiar face. Chorus: So long, say goodbye to yesterday Another turning point, another way You left us dry but we’re okay We saw it coming almost everyday Bridge: Time may change but we’re still here We’re never gonna die Final Chorus: Where did we go wrong when all we do is fight Your anger and your arrogance took years from my life

Bad Breath 02:27
Bad Breath Intro: You better shut that mouth before I do it for you It’s time for you to bite that tongue before I help you eat those words Verse 1: Stop running your mouth, it’s sad To see a grown man crawl We all know that you’re all talk When you’re feeling small Chorus: It’s not my fault that I keep passing through your mind Drives you crazy You seem jealous of us, guess we’ll be the Envy that you need Verse 2: Wait, blue in the face, just breath Before you pass out I’ll sit back and watch, laughing As you moan and pout Chorus: It’s not my fault that I keep passing through your mind Drives you crazy You seem jealous of us, guess we’ll be the Envy that you need Bridge: I went from being your free ride To becoming the thorn in your side You gotta get it or get right or get gone This is all I am, this is all I have, this is all that you ever wanted I will sing it out so you can heart it Cause I can say it better than you feel it Breakdown: I do this for myself Nothing can stop me now X2

8th and 16th 04:35
8th and 16th Verse 1: We’d laugh and joke life to the limit We thought that we couldn’t fail Constant parties that would never end Till we finally lost a friend I guess sometimes it’s better when people change Chorus: I still remember how you never turned away When I needed you by my side I was all alone But how can you do this It’s crazy to me How you could give up almost everything You worked your life for You hit the ground and never got up That’s when I knew you were gone That’s when I knew you were gone But I will never turn my back away Never turn my back away Verse 2: Loyal friends are harder to find I’m learning this day by day The ones that mean the most eventually move on But you never forget them when they’re gone I guess sometimes it’s better when people change Chorus: I still remember how you never turned away When I needed you by my side I was all alone But how can you do this It’s crazy to me How you could give up almost everything You worked your life for You hit the ground and never got up That’s when I knew you were gone That’s when I knew you were gone But I will never turn my back away Never turn my back away Bridge: We still miss you more than you’ll ever know You decided it was your time to go X2
