Topshelf 02:48
The clock strikes 3AM and I find myself right here alone Away from the comfort of my home One More Regret! One more bad evening spent, and I wish that it had happened with my friends! My stuff is missing and I can't recall what happened to it Empty pockets, empty threats I'm down and out! This ain't what friendship's all about Pent up with anger, fear, and doubt! These aren't my friends, they just pretend Don't use me, don't use me I can see right through your lies You fucked me over goodbye!

With all the beautiful things in life covered by snow You can't live in the moment, can't go with the flow We work all day and night to make things right but most will never know How to let go! The blindfold's getting tighter the blind will never see You won't get anywhere if you don't believe; You take your life for granted, your friends for granted, your family for granted. Fucking let go! Take some time to take a look at the city from this place It's a beautiful picture, a soft spoken canvas And you'll spend your whole life passing it by like it was never there You're never fucking there take some time to take a look at the city from this place It's a beautiful picture, a soft spoken canvas And you'll spend your whole life passing it by like it was never there You're everything, you're going nowhere.

Old HWY 8 03:22
We all agree, we speak in the past tense, but there's no way we can ever go back! I wish that I could relive the days when we planted footsteps in our hometown! We'll never forget our stomping ground! These sidewalks burn! These trees scream memories of innocent days leading nowhere, All these streets still know our names! And I feel like a broken record, talking about the past With burning hope that the memories will last! And I have a problem with dwelling on it There's nothing I can do about it! When I take the long way home I think 'can my life really get any better?' The present will soon be the past too. So live for now! And don't take what you have for granted! But don't ever forget your roots! And I feel like a broken record, talking about the past With burning hope that the memories will last! And I have a problem with dwelling on it There's nothing I can do about it!

Maybe I'll never revisit this place Maybe I'll never see your face again and all these people are telling me that it's for the better. You took advantage of my loyalty, I forgave you, but you still don't come to our shows like you said you would And I was hardly surprised when you forgot my birthday! Alliances come and Alliances go One is silver and the other's gold I'm making new friends but why can't I keep the old Now our memories are dust in the wind! It seems like forever since I've heard your voice, I'm starting to come around! And I can't help but think that you don't need me in your life. Friends can't be recycled, you don't give a shit what happens to us. Assuming the role doesn't work anymore I've caught on to your tricks, you selfish... You discard me and create strife There's only room for one guy in your life You're glowing smile that illuminates my soul Has turned into an awkward smirk, an empty hole! It seems like forever since conversation we've had over the phone. You used my shoulder to cry on until you found another one of your own. Now all of a sudden I became history, a thing of the past. How stupid do you think I am? I must be a little, I thought this would last. Your lies don't seem to make sense My 'I Miss You' feeling is intense Your glowing smile that illuminates my soul Has turned into an awkward smirk, an empty hole! An empty hole.

I Miss Then 02:48
I can't remember when it was just you and me My mind is slipping away like my memories That song came on again, reminds me of those days! When we were all the same, when we were all the same! And It's so sad to me, these days I'm so unhappy Our friendship's slipping away, our old life is done. These days our paths all lead in different directions. When we were still alive, conclusions far away! These days I miss those days, these days I miss those days! And it's so sad to me, these days I'm so unhappy. I'm just a faded memory!!

All these questions go unanswered, and it's eating me away. I've got to keep growing Feeding off knowledge and ideas I must stay lucid in my dreams Separate the seams When will we go? When will this cycle end? Repeat and repeat and again. When we die will we find out what's past that light? 'Cause right now it sounds like lies! We're all programmed into grooves that pave the way of all our lives Hack your life, hack your life, Destroy the program, and take it back! We're all programmed into grooves that pave the way of all our lives Hack your life! Hack your life! Destroy the program, and take back what is yours! Never be bored! 'Cause everything's happening right now! And we'll never know if second chances are even an option! So fucking live.
