Machine Gunwell i'm up and i don't know why
but i guess that's all that counts
looking 'round as i'm holding my head
and i'm in somebody's house
the sun it hits like a punch in the face
with a headache i can't ignore
seems almost every weekend my bed is someone's floor
and so i can't keep this up
i have had enough
eating cold pizza on the side of the curb
to cover up my morning breath of gin
something doesn't seem to sit with me right
it's going out the way it went in
and so i can't keep this up
i have had enough
'cause you can count me out
i'm on to you
'cause you can count me out
i'm tired of leaving my embarassments behind
What I believelies and deceiving is what i'm believing
up to my knees so hard to breathe
it helps that you aren't there
can't figure out what's the right thing for me
guess i'll have to wait and see
so understanding but so far from the truth
it's what i have to live with
it's not all i wanted to be
it's not all i wanted to see
i can't keep on leading
i've left what i'm leaving
guess that's just what i believe
consciously taking and overly faking
i can't believe all the things that you're saying
seems all so simple it's all up to you
time after time
you lost what you couldn't find
it's what you could (what you could)
it's only what you could (its what you could)
don't take what you could
but i know what's up
so understanding but so far from the truth
it's what i have to live with
it's not all i wanted to be
it's not all i wanted to see
i can't keep on leading
i've left what i'm leaving
guess that's just what i believe
T.H.T. you don't have the answers but you're always blaming me
its only lies in your behalf in animosity
you decide it's up to you, make it what you'll be
after all you seem to be it makes no sense to me
don't point your finger at me
it's all you odyssey
you think it's all a game
so quick to point the blame
and now tables have turned
Shut up
Makes no DifferenceYou're running fast and missing
but cannot help convincing.
The reasons you gave me are all wearing thin.
It's not meant to hurt you but let me assure,
It's not what I said but intentions you've read.
So when you hold onto the past then you
Will break down what little is left.
There's nothing more you can't ignore,
And say it makes no difference to me.
Now that you're older life's weighing on your
shoulders.
You can't seem to keep things so perfectly straight.
With most things so basic you might as well face it.
You can't help but worry it's all just begun
So when you hold onto the past then you,
Will break down what little is left.
There's nothing more you can't ignore,
And say it makes no difference to me.
It makes no difference,
It makes no difference to me,
It makes no difference,
It makes no difference to me.
Summerit's far beyond your reach
it holds a place in time
somewhere ahead is the back of the line
i can't relate
to your mistakes
awkardly speaking with nothing to say
caught up in your life
excuses are so lame
you may be different but i'm still the same
the reasons that you thought
the attention that you drought
you say things are simple
we both know they're not
you can't let it go
you can't but i know
you don't even know
it's not in what you do
more in what you say
it's not in what you do
more in what you say
it's not in what you do
more in what you say
it's not in what you do
what you do
a million questions asked
the remnants of the past
you've always been denied
but i was always by your side
i've always tried to
to understand you
the world's not running from you
it's not in what you do
more in what you say
it's not in what you do
more in what you say
it's not in what you do
more in what you say
it's not in what you do
what you do
Second Chance for Max Headroomit's not enought you passed it for a while
you can't afford the amass of denial
don't explain you can't arcane it too
your lies surpassed your doubt
don't do something you'll regret
don't do something you'll regret
it's not enough you passed it for a while
your mind's mistake
your time's mistake
time worth throwin all away
it's not enough attention
that you're too proud to mention
i can't go on pretending
that it's still the same
Dave's Possessed Hair/ It's what we're all aboutEver get the feeling no one's got your back
Caught up in themselves livin' lies besides the fact
Somehow you're going on an opposite track
As we recover from another social heart attack
You think you can see between the lines
But you can't see though dollar signs
So sick and tasteless now
Immature and faceless how
Can I even sleep at night, you ask
You say you're a pacifist
Instead you wave your fist
Oh and all the while it becomes the end again
Make up your mind cause I can't decide
You think uniquelism makes you dignified
You can't see with half opened eyes
You think you're standing up
Instead you're falling far behind
What I do is what I choose
Which makes it my decision
If your life was a book,
Your story would be fiction
Nevertheless am I dressed for the occasion
It's number 32 now here's the situation
If the beat moves your feet then don't change the station
Pack your bags cuz we're leavin on a permanent vacation
Well i'm a disaster, a micraphone master
Put on the tape and rock your ghetto blaster
...its not about the money...
Cuz...its about sweatin all the bitches in the biker shorts
I'm Gay Brown Sound and you'll see me running late
Cuz i'm always takin time to make your girly feel great
And i'm Bizzy Dee from way down town
I'm known to rock the mic like a king witha crown
When i'm on top i'm with all that booty
Husslin deals i like im Mickey Marcoote
When I wake up I like a pound of bacon
Start off the day with my artires shakin
ROCK!
It's what were all about its what we live for
C'mon shout it out (x4)
You see me in 3D i'm comin live and direct
With a dilect most... signs get dissect
...doors are opened and... are locked
So now its my thing to blow off steam and get my cream
Sum 41 get wild I get franick
And every time we spin the world panicks
I maybe lost my mind well i aint through the coop
But Sum 41 just aint about a loop
Ring a ling a ling ding dong tick tock, shit, its all about rap
And maybe all about rock!
Another Time Aroundin my years i've seen all sounds of misconception
in my years i've done all i can live to question
what happened to me i don't understand
i've seen all i can see as my time expands
bored i am bored of my own desperation
i can't defend can't find my own destination
what happened to me i don't understand
i've seen all i can see as my time expands
so what's up with you what's up with me
i'm not the one i can't pretend
what would i be if i did it all again
and i sometimes wish i would have asked some questions
then maybe i would have a clearer life perception
what's up with you what's up with me

Introduction to DistructionChildren of the beast embrace
To scorn and hate the human race
Consume the light that hugs the earth
And aid the womb in giving birth
To a group that will appear
And guide you through this final year
The dark armies then will come
When the Sum is 41
Nothing on My BackWas happiness a fad?
Or was it in the lost in found again behind the issues.
It might not be so bad,
We’re all addicted to our tragedy,
I guess it’s what it had to be.
With nothing on my back,
It’s still enough to bring me down.
My mind’s about to crack,
Cause what I thought could not be found.
Matter of in fact,
It’s harder still when you’re around.
With nothing on my back,
I can’t help but drown.
I might as well belong to both of you.
And the mess you always seem to drag me through.
That night forever always haunting me.
But I guess it is what it’s supposed to be,
But spare your thoughts of sympathy.
With nothing on my back,
It’s still enough to bring me down.
My mind’s about to crack,
Cause what I thought could not be found.
Matter of in fact,
It’s harder still when you’re around.

Never Wake upJump all you can
And you got out your right foot
The sooner you get out
In your hide away
I might be left dead
Side of the road
Serves a place and time
I plan on never waking up (2x)
Jump all you can
And you got out your right foot
The sooner you get out
In your hide away
I might be left dead
Get out the way
Serves a place and time
I plan on never waking up (4x)
Fat LipStrolling to the party like my name is el nino
Well i'm hanging out drinking in the back of an el camino
As a kid, was a skid
and no one knew me by name
trashed my own house party
cause nobody came
Well i know i'm not the one
you thought u knew back in high school
never going, never showing up when we had to
it's the attention that we crave
don't tell us to behave
i'm sick of always hearing act your age
I don't wanna waste my time
become another casualty of society
i'll never fall in line
become another victim of your conformity
Back Down..
Because you don't know us at all
We laugh when old people fall
but what would you expect with a conscious so small
heavy metal, and mullets is how we were raised
Maiden and priest were the gods that we praised
Cause we like having fun at other peoples expense
and cutting people down is just a minor offense and
it's none of your concern
i guess i'll never learn
i'm sick of being told to wait my turn
I don't wanna waste my time
become another casualty of society
i'll never fall in line
become another victim of your conformity
Back Down..
RhythmsMad in a way but I don’t say,
It’s what you’re used to.
I got the words but can’t convey.
I know you’ll turn it all around,
Cause that’s the rhythms that you go through
Get it back and you’re not obliged to say,
Not intact but you’re better off anyway.
Somehow it’s never up to me.
What if I would say?
Simple words I can’t relate.
I don’t place upon your view,
It’s the rhythms that you go through.
I know what I want,
You just take me through the motions.
I know what I want,
And that’s more than you can say.
Since you found me out,
Since you found me out,
Since you found me out,
Since you found me out.
Your story still remains
It’s so unlike still you stay the same,
And all the while you’re counting on your day to come,
But nothing ever told you.
You would say that it’s only for a day.
Yesterday’s last week tomorrow’s on its way.
And I’m falling faster all the time.
What if I would say?
Simple words I can’t relate.
What came easy is now too late.
And it was always standing right in front of me.
I know what I want,
You just take me through the motions.
I know what I want,
And that’s more than you can say.
All the time you thought worth saving,
You still end up with memories fading.
After all that you wouldn’t do,
It makes no sense, but it’s that rhythms that you go through.
I know what I want,
You just take me through the motions.
I know what I want,
And that’s more than you can say. I know what I want,
You just take me through the motions.
I know what I want,
And that’s more than you can say.
Since you found me out,
Since you found me out,
Since you found me out,
Since you found me out.
MotivationWhat’s the difference of never knowing at all?
When every step I take is always too small.
Maybe it’s just something I can’t admit but lately,
I feel like I don’t give a shit.
Motivation such an aggravation,
Accusations don’t know how to take them.
Inspiration’s getting hard to fake it.
Concentration’s never hard to brake it.
Situation never what you want it to be.
What’s the point of never making mistakes?
Self-indulgence is such a hard habit to brake.
It’s all just a waste of time in the end.
I don’t care so why should I even pretend.
Motivation such an aggravation,
Accusations don’t know how to take them.
Inspiration’s getting hard to fake it.
Concentration’s never hard to brake it.
Situation never what you want it.
Nothing’s new, everything’s the same.
It keeps on dragging me down, it’s getting kind of lame.
I’m falling further behind, there’s nothing to explain.
No matter what you say nothing ‘s gonna change my mind.
Can’t pretend on doubt until the end.
It seems like leaving friends has become
This years trend and though I can’t pretend.
It’s not the same but who’s to blame,
For all those stupid things I never said.
Motivation such an aggravation,
Accusations don’t know how to take them.
Inspiration’s getting hard to fake it.
Concentration’s never hard to brake it.
Situation never what you want it to be.
Motivation such an aggravation,

Never what you want it to be.
Never what you want it to be.
In Too Deep
The faster we’re falling,
We’re stopping and stalling.
We’re running in circles again
Just as things we’re looking up
You said it wasn’t good enough.
But still we’re trying one more time.
Maybe we’re just trying to hard.
When really it’s closer than it is too far
Cause I’m in too deep, and I’m trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Cause I’m in too deep, and I’m trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Instead of going under.
Seems like each time
I’m with you I loose my mind,
Because I’m bending over backwards to relate.
It’s one thing to complain
But when you’re driving me insane
Well then I think it’s time that we took a break.
Maybe we’re just trying to hard.
When really it’s closer than it is too far
Cause I’m in too deep, and I’m trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Cause I’m in too deep, and I’m trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Instead of going under.
Instead of going under.
I can’t sit back and wonder why.
It took so long for this to die.
And I hate it when you fake it.
You can’t hide it you might as well embrace it.
So believe me it’s not easy.
It seems that something’s telling me,
Cause I’m in too deep, and I’m trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Cause I’m in too deep, and I’m trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Instead of going under.
instead of going under.
instead of going under again.
instead of going under.
instead of going under again.
instead of going under again.
Summerit's far beyond your reach

Handle ThisYou said it once before, you don't do those things you used to anymore.
You say in doubt, were fading out, forgetting who we used to be.
Cause I will bring you down,
I don't want to miss, I don't think you can handle this.
You've lost what you can't find; it's never what you had in mind.
You take it with a smile; it's so easy when you're always in denial
Just in time but out of line I can't make all the same mistakes you want me to.
Cause I will bring you down,
I don't want to miss, I don't think you can handle this.
You've lost what you can't find; it's never what you had in mind.
Your giving up you know it's not what you need.
And it's true what you're going through.
Try so hard not listen to everything I never say.
Cause I will bring you down,
I don't want to miss, I don't think you can handle this.
You've lost what you can't find; it's never what you had in mind.
I'm getting over getting used to,
And after all that I put you through now I see I'm not the only one.
I never thought It'd ever come to,
This in fact was never what you wanted from me or how you meant it to be.
Crazy AmandaDon't know what you really got
It's hard to stay and not pretend
Can't make sense in what you thought
Seems I can't comprehend
I'm happy to be
Only all that you see
And I'm not one to learn, to be the same
I don't wanna hear you b**** no more
I was better off a year before
No matter how I try, I can't ignore
Every time I think my brain is sore
When I'm with you...
What's so hard about goodbyes
I'm sorry I'm just not as keen
I'm planning out a perfect life
When I'm only nineteen
I'm happy to be
Only all that you see
And I'm not one to learn, to be the same
I don't want to try and just be friends
Nothing's gonna change my mind again
And never hear the thoughts I had were dead
I can't even think inside my head
When I'm with you...
I'm in my way
Can't you see that's the truth
So long can't stay
Won't you see that's the truth
I'm in my way
Can't you see that's the truth
So long can't stay
Won't you see that's the, see that's the, see that's the
Last that I could take
because it's getting really hard to fake
It's not like it's my problem that you're in
But can't you just spare the lives I hate
When I'm with you...
All She's GotThis place reminds me of,
A time that’s way too old.
These thoughts have gathered up the memories unfold.
But for now I don’t see what’s so wrong with pretending
It’s true I thought you knew.
Believe her, it’s all she’s got to pass the time
Believe her, it’s over now she’s passed her prime.
Believe her, it’s all she’s got to keep things right
Believe her it’s all she’s got it’s all she’s got.
It’s all she’s got, it’s all she’s got.
These days keep getting worse I’m wasting all my time.
I thought I’d come in first, instead I fell behind.
I don’t know, I don’t know if I can keep this up to long.
It seems most every time my motives are all wrong
But for now I don’t see what’s so wrong with pretending
It’s true I thought you knew.
Believe her, it’s all she’s got to pass the time
Believe her, it’s over now she’s passed her prime.
Believe her, it’s all she’s got to keep things right
Believe her it’s all she’s got it’s all she’s got.
It’s times like this, but time’s run out
It’s times like this, but time’s run out
It’s times like this, but time’s run out
It’s times like this, I want to,
Believe her, it’s all she’s got to pass the time
Believe her, it’s over now she’s passed her prime.
Believe her, it’s all she’s got to keep things right
Believe her it’s all she’s got it’s all she’s got.
Heart AttackRemember when there was nothing else to do
but lie and bed and
wonder how it was always up to you, and no one else and,
Early mornings
made by warnings
what’s the point of the alarm that I’m ignoring?
It’s either raining
I’m not complaining
but waking up is hard to do so,
Turn my head its back to bed with no delay,
can’t be bothered by the phone ten times a day,
Why get up my morning doesn’t even start till two?
Forget reality waking up is hard to do.
Remember when we would hang out every day,
and we would rather,
Not be told what to do or what to say,
Cause nothing mattered.
Never boring with slept in mornings,
not ashamed of bad habits that I’m forming.
Its not important if days are shortened,
I can’t make time when nothings new,
Cause waking up is hard to do so,
What’s a day when it all ends up the same,
and lasts forever?
Can’t complain when there’s nothing there to blame,
and things can’t be better.
Summer evenings, teenage grievings,
got no problem with the life that I’ve been leading.
No concentration on hesitation,
I can’t make time when nothings new,
Cause waking up is hard to do so!
Pain For PleasureThe seas have parted,
the endings started,
the sky has turned to black.
A killing spree through eternity,
the devil stabs you in the back,
It's midnight now you must escape somehow,
torture is his leisure,
don't try to hide he'll make you subside,
as he exchanges pain for pleasure,
(chorus)
Pain for pleasure, he's the hunter you're the game,
Pain for pleasure, Satan is his name!"
