Noise

I want to hear a catchy story tonight. Make it the one that haunts my dreams; the one that crashes over me with all of the comfort of a warm bath. I just want to know that I'm not the only one who feels like giving up. But it's just a daydream; it's nothing worth chasing. It paints a story inside my head; tells a picture I can't forget. But now I've got a feeling that I'm missing out. I can't hear it. It's been drown out by this noise I'm hearing lately, cutting through my static saying, "Yeah it's cool if you tune out here for a while." Now I'm always humming this tune I can't make out, wish I could let you know what that's about. You must think I'm crazy just because I'm hearing noises lately.

The Squid

You can't call me a rider; I'm just a nervous kid. Yeah I'm pretty new to this. That's why they call me the Squid. My blood flows out from the Mid-West. A streamline to the Pacific and out of my soul. Somebody told me there's a girl out there with bloodshot eyes; she's vacant of a care.

Way Out

I heard you're taking off again. Yeah I remember when you said you needed a way out. A system failure is throwing you off track; I know you're scared that it's too late to turn back now. Your ghosts are calling from behind you. They're asking who you'll be this time. "Will you always be the one that I knew?" Are you too way out to find? As Earth orbits out of view the dread comes crashing over you. Just tell yourself, "Yeah I'll be fine this time." Doubts are flooding through your mind as chills are crawling up your spine.k All because you're not ready yet. Just let the doubts subside. Buckle up let's take the cosmos for a ride.

Never Say Die
02:29
|

|
It may be years before we're back like this again. The burning ashes and empty cans are our reminders of the people we had been. Move on, embrace the change, but look back on these better days. Slow down, and take your time. And never say die because it's our time.

The Regular

Day by day I'm breaking down; on the verge of burning out. I'll inhale smoke signals until I can't hardly think there's a chance that I might miss this when I'm gone. So I've got a ticket in my pockets; an escape route in my brain. If it's nothing for all, or all for nothing, it's still nothing just the same, so I'm heading back. One more night and it could be over. Sayonara to another crown of regulars. Curtain call; it's almost over. I'm heading back to Minneapolis tonight. Oh tonight is just not my night. Ashes to ashes, dreams to dust. We're going home because we're too old to die young. And I know that we don't belong here. We should probably just go home, but I'm in the mood to fuck up a show tonight.

Teen Ghost

There was a calm in me that faded away. It takes grace to be invisible. No pressure, loss, or pain. There's just the blood that's always pounding in my brain. I was a teen ghost.Tripping o ver the backstreets in my mind. Keeping me haunted as I disappear. Can you hear me now that I'm howling outside your window? I'm just a ghost on the prowl; the voice in your head that's calling you to come out.
