On The Rocks 03:34
On the Rocks Amps warming up The crowds getting restless So I’m grabbing a drink Whisky on the rocks...what do you think? With girls lined up from me to the bar What do they want me or my guitar? There she is the fifth night in a row Standing up next to the stage at the edge of her toes Beat drops I’m feeling tipsy everyone’s having a ball Short skirt goddamn...I’m loving it all I can see you grooving, see you moving those hips down to the floor Boom! Pow! How you like me now and I’m leaving you Begging for more I didn’t seem to catch your name That look is filling my brain Deeper into the rabbit hole I go She don’t care She’s got something to say From a different way I think you’re teasing me The morning comes I find that she went a little too far Left me drooling on the floor then she stole my guitar I didn’t know how I found you I didn’t know what to say I was looking for a little strange Something's got a hold on me I’ll set you free

Surfy 03:33
Surfy I need some action I can tell Threw my change to the wishing well Little devil won’t you ring my bell? I’m in a fever tonight I walk these streets at night To ease my burning mind We’re going down To the river to drown I need something to occupy My itching hands and my lazy eye Shot and I missed, baby just one kiss that’s alright I’m in a fever tonight I walk these streets at night To ease my burning mind Oh yeah what’s your name? Can you make me like a king for a day We’re going down

Band Aid for a Bullet Wound It’s the doubt that shakes my veins That somewhere I missed the cue Somewhere baby I made a mistake and somewhere you did too Even though I pass the blame Does that make me untrue? Even though you asked me to stay You kept me guessing too Is it fun when your gone? With hands coming out from the dark Well the kicks won’t come till I’m down I’m just a time bomb coming through There ain’t enough here to share my friend and Other excuses too Like when you said you were going away So I said I was too I’ve done my part I’d like to share If you would care to hear A redirection A fairy tale A band aid for a bullet wound Is it fun when your gone? With hands coming out from the dark The kicks won’t come till I’m down I’m just a time bomb coming through It’s just a time bomb coming

Day Drunk 02:40
Day Drunk I’m gonna take you down I’ll be running this town Aren’t you some top boss jack! Get cheeky cheeky gonna find out Ah don’t you run your mouth Like you’re the front of this crowd Tick Tick it’s running out Tick tick tick bet you gonna find out You want the truth I wanna fight You brought your guts I brought a knife The jig is up Your out of luck No time to run it’s time to die I know I know what’s on your mind I’m gonna end it all tonight I know I know it’s time to fly

Bottom of the Tank Listen to the black sheep king Underdog running his mouth like a preacher What is there to see? It’s candid it’s classy like cocaine and candy Help ain’t on the way Hugging a bottle in a cigarette hostel off of Park Avenue Haven’t you ever been there before? There’s nothing I see here to make me believe you What’s your take? There’s nothing I follow just shit on the bottom of the tank I see you I see me I see all of these people here today to listen to me shit Amen Is it a measure of me? As if written in scripture the gifts I deliver Your friends say what they say Some kind of nightmare a simple reminder why we take what we get You’re looking sleazy in your Sunday best There’s nothing I see here to make me believe you What’s your take? There’s nothing I follow just shit on the bottom of the tank Your friends say what they say Help ain’t on the way There’s something I see here I finally believe you You’re a fake There’s nothing I follow just shit on the bottom of the tank

Know you Tonight She’s here and I’m sure We’ve been fighting’ all night I need a little bit more I wanna know you tonight I wanna know You got a lovin’ that's right You oughta know I can’t leave you alone On my mind I gotta check my phone So bad it’s good So wrong I’m gonna make it right I wanna know you tonight You oughta know You got a lovin’ that's right I wanna tell you I love you Oh baby just for one night Black and white Cause it feels so right Then out the door I go oh baby out of control You’re out of control I wanna know you tonight You got a loving that’s so right I wanna know you tonight You oughta know You got a loving that’s right I wanna tell you I love you Oh baby just for one night Black and white I’m gonna show you ropes Oh I’m taking control Oh baby I know One damn time I wanna know you tonight

Borderline 03:22
Borderline I was standing at the borderline Might snap and kill a friend of mine One cut dig deep seeing red tonight If you want it honey get in line I’m throwing cherry bombs to pass the time Cheap thrills bad rhymes and a porcupine There’s blood pouring out from the cracks Eyes coming out of the walls I’m on a bender for two Bring me pain, pain, pain Hey! It’ll make you blind I’ll see you later if I’m still alive I’m standing in the fire tonight I’m telling all my favorite lies I’m set to blow Deep in my chest Can’t get some rest I can’t tell if it was real or a dream I need some new eyes to clear what I’ve seen I’m standing in the fire tonight I’m telling all my favorite lies I’m standing in the fire ready to blow There’s blood pouring out from the cracks Eyes coming out of the walls I’m on a bender for two Oh can’t you see that nothing is wrong?

Every Time You Leave I see I see those eyes I barely recognize It paints a picture of all the pain felt inside Destroying our lives I’m feeling reckless and the truth has left me blind I can’t find peace of mind My mind is thinking and I can’t stop drinking My heart is broken every time you leave Stuck inside the details The lies that keep me sane Pacing through the actions that led me here today Am I who I’m supposed to be? It ended so suddenly Now I’m coming clean with myself I’m feeling reckless and the truth has left me blind I can’t find peace of mind My mind is thinking and I can’t stop drinking My heart is broken every time you leave
