Fade 02:36
one day i'll be ancient and sick and tired of doing the same shit they tell me patience comes with age, it's getting shorter every fucking day when i finally run out of rage you can roll me into my shallow grave yeah when i reach that level of decay i'll know if old punx die or just fade away we're not growing older, we're just getting uglier still got the same spirit but we're missing every other word cuz life's a joke that just gets funnier and funnier let's go out laughing, giving it the finger or just fade away and when my time's cut short, unplug my life support cuz that'll be the day I'll find out if old punx die or just fade away

Suffer 02:46
it was hard to believe it at first til your sister held your ashes in the church four hundred staring silent before the priest til the mourning ceremony was complete if it was easy to recover i'd be in a different place and you would too don't know how long you suffered when you fell into the gutter never thought to ask yeah there's my beat up boots in the corner of your room two years past i counted the cracks in the ceiling while you were sleeping there's you a few months later outside the bodega broken hand broken expression, a bag of unanswered questions if it was easy to recover i'd be in a different place and you would too don't know how long you suffered when you fell into the gutter never thought to ask if it was easy, so fucking easy, if it was easy to recover if it was easy to recover i'd be in a different place and you would too don't know how long you suffered when you fell into the gutter never thought to ask...

Die Someday 03:32
we were young and full of wonder with so much to say looking up to each other to show us the way we wanted the danger yeah we wanted a taste we were nobody's angels, we were made to replace i said hey, yeah, don't wanna die son, but we all die someday we started out test tubes and we started out clean some needed directions and became machines some turn to small crimes and end up paying the price others blinded us all from burning too bright i said hey, yeah, don't wanna die son, but we all die someday so we go thru the motions and cover the scars we look back and wonder how we made it so far i sit and consider with my beat up guitar how many mistakes until you know who you are? and i said hey, yeah, don't wanna die son, but we all die someday whoa hey, yeah, don't wanna die son, but we all die someday...

Wisco Hooker 02:23
wisco hooker at the back of the bar you know who you are trying to follow me out to my car you know who you are grinding on me like you're ready to go you know who you are just a ratchet with a noseful of blow you know who you are friday night staring into a pint, surviving with an ice cold beer i heard a horrible screeching laugh, an icepick straight to the ear i held my breath, i turned my head, afraid of what i would see her nasty face gave me a crazy look, she headed straight for me wisco hooker at the back of the bar you know who you are trying to follow me out to my car you know who you are grinding on me like you're ready to go you know who you are just a ratchet with a noseful of blow you know who you are she wandered over to my spot and asked me for another shot i said "probably not, you smell like a rancid twat" she was the perfect shade of failure, desperate for a favor never seen a woman so haggard, had to say "see you later" wisco hooker at the back of the bar you know who you are trying to follow me out to my car you know who you are grinding on me like you're ready to go you know who you are just a ratchet with a noseful of blow you know who you are

Motions 04:04
we grow up wanting more, still empty inside voices that we can't ignore come at us from every side we go thru the motions, follow the program yeah we keep trying hard to consume and discard doesn't matter where you are, you ain't moving - you ain't getting very far go thru the motions, follow the program what's missing when you have and you hunger still? we don't even listen, just swallow that poison pill trust without question, follow directions we're living without a care, temporarily embarrassed millionaires go thru the motions, follow the program...

about
