Fade The Mix

Only have a flash of me kickin' and screamin'
Only have a flash of the hospital gown
Only have a flash of me losing my shit
In my 5th grade class then getting kicked out
Only have a flash of the Logemann Center
I only learned now that it got knocked down
I go on YouTube to find all the shows
And sometimes, you know, I see my face in the crowd
And who needs me
And why see me
There's no reason
Not to Fade The Mix
Standin' on the corner of Greenpoint and Manhattan
I was 19 wearin' neon shorts
I had no idea of what's about to happen
Things got bad and then they got much worse
Hit 29 and I finally stopped drinkin'
Sitting in my room with a panic attack
Now would be the time to turn into a Christian
Throw away my noise tapes and get a pet
And who needs me
And why see me
There's no reason
Not to Fade The Mix
Fade The Mix
Fade The Mix
People say the world's not black and white
But when it comes to me I know I'm never right
Back when Dog Dick was playin' the chair
I should've started working full time there
But I doubled down on being a clown
Another tedious cultural round
It's easy to tell em fuck it all
But whatcha gonna do when the curators call
Who needs me
Who needs me
Who needs me
Who needs me
94 43 95 101
94 43 95 101
There's no turning back
Who needs me
Who needs me
Who needs me
Who needs me

When I'm Feelin' Manic
03:38

I'm a stranger to myself
And I think I wanna disappear
Live a quiet life
Split the scene and get out of here
Most days I'm so empty
I can barely make it through
But When I'm Feelin' Manic
Ooh, that's when I think about you
Been a full trip round the sun
But I remember it like yesterday
It had only just begun
Somehow it never seems so far away
Put it all behind me
The only thing to do
But When I'm Feelin' Manic
Ooh, that's when I think about you
Alright
That's when I think about you
Come on
That's when I think about
The good thing's always fleeting
That's just something I've learned to respect
Yeah
And that sinking feeling
That's what happens when you know you'll never get it back
Oh
I'm alive and lucky
The darkness passing through
But When I'm Feelin' Manic
Ooh, that's when I think about you
Alright
That's when I think about you
Come on
That's when I think about
And I don't know what to do
That's when I think about
That's when I think about
That's when I think about
That's when I think about
That's when I think about
That's when I think about
That's when I think about
That's when I think about you

Young and Punk

Spent your good years doing bad drugs
At a show house right over the bridge
A long time ago this music meant something
Now you don't know what it is
The last generation to try to buy meaning
From a stupid little spinnin' disc
A long time ago this music meant something
Now you don't know what it is
So lights out
Tonight
You won't win
It's alright
Oh it all just makes you cringe
But they can't tell you a thing
Slipped on some ice
When you were drunk
In front of the CVS
Broke a couple bones and called your dad's lawyer
So they cut you a little check
And you've been livin' it up
For a few good years
But now a lot of time has passed
You got nothing to show for a life in the scene
You had to sell your 7 inches for cash
So lights out
Tonight
You won't win
It's alright
Oh it all just makes you cringe
But they can't tell you a thing
Ian said that
Someday we'll look back and laugh
But you can't look
Back if it's not in the past
And you're fading fast
So lights out
Tonight
You won't win
It's alright
Oh it all just makes you cringe
But they can't tell you a thing
You get down
So low
It won't stop
Oh no
You're wearing patches and pins
Oh they can't tell you a thing
When you're Young And Punk
Yeah when you're Young And Punk
When you're Young And Punk
Yeah when you're Young And Punk
When you're Young And Punk

Never Wanted To Be Me

Bow down and kiss the ring of the demon in my head
Been there since a little kid now I can't get out of bed
Get up just to fall asleep in front of the TV
I Never Wanted To Be Me, ooh
I Never Wanted To Be Me, ooh
When you get attention you might wanna make that feeling last
When you get attention sometimes it don't matter if it's good or bad
Try to change my name, my life, I try to find some inner peace
I Never Wanted To Be Me, ooh
I Never Wanted To Be Me, ooh
You can do whatever you want but you're never really gonna be free
Introduce my name any way that you see fit
Your guess as good as mine with any of that shit
I'll keep on floating on like a sailor lost in the sea
I Never Wanted To Be Me, ooh
I Never Wanted To Be Me, ooh
You don't know
I don't know
Nobody knows
What it means to be free
I Never Wanted To Be Me
I Never Wanted To Be Me
I Never Wanted To Be Me
I Never Wanted To Be Me
I Never Wanted To Be Me
(Sailing Along)
I Never Wanted To Be Me
(Sailing Along)
I Never Wanted To Be Me
(Sailing Along)
I Never Wanted To Be Me
(Sailing, going out of my mind)
You can do whatever you want but you're never really gonna be free
