Heart Attack 13. Pain For Pleasure 1. Introduction to Destruction 2. Nothing On My Back Was happiness a fad? Or was it in the lost in found again behind the issues It might not be so bad We’re all addicted to our tragedy I guess it’s what it had to be With nothing on my back It’s still enough to bring me down My mind’s about to crack Cause what I thought could not be found Matter of in fact It’s harder still when you’re around With nothing on my back I can’t help but drown I might as well belong to both of you And the mess you always seem to drag me through That night forever always haunting me But I guess it is what it’s supposed to be But spare your thoughts of sympathy With nothing on my back It’s still enough to bring me down My mind’s about to crack Cause what I thought could not be found Matter of in fact It’s harder still when you’re around With nothing on my back I can’t help but drown With nothing on my back It’s still enough to bring me down My mind’s about to crack Cause what I thought could not be found (4x) With nothing on my back It’s still enough to bring me down My mind’s about to crack Cause what I thought could not be found Matter of in fact It’s harder still when you’re around With nothing on my back I can’t help but drown 3. Never Wake Up 4. Fat Lip Storming through the party like my name was El Nino When I’m hanging out drinking in the back of an El Camino As a kid, I was a skid and no one knew me by name I trashed my own house party cause nobody came I know I’m not the one you thought you knew back in high school Never going, ever showing up when we had to Is it attention that we crave don’t tell us to behave I’m sick of always hearing act your age I don’t want to waste my time And become a casualty of society I’ll never fall in line Become a victim of your conformity And back down Because you don’t Know us at all we laugh when old people fall But what would you expect with a conscience so small Heavy metal and mullets it’s how we were raised Maiden and priest were the gods that we praised Cause we like having fun at other peoples expense and Cutting people down is just a minor offence then It’s none of your concern, I guess I’ll never learn I’m sick of being told to wait my turn I don’t want to waste my time And become a casualty of society I’ll never fall in line Become a victim of your conformity And back down Don’t count on me, to let you know when Don’t count on me, I’ll do it again Don’t count on me, it’s the point you’re missing Don’t count on me, cause I’m not listening Well I’m a no goodnick lower middle class brat Back packed and I don’t give a shit about nothing You be standing on the corner talking all that kufuffin But you don’t make sense from all the gas you be huffing Then if the egg don’t stain you’ll be ringing off the hook You’re on the hit list wanted in the telephone book I like songs with distortion, to drink in proportion The doctor said my mom should have had an abortion (echos) I don’t want to waste my time And become a casualty of society I’ll never fall in line Become a victim of your conformity And back down (Waste my time with them) Casualty of society (Waste my time again) Victim of your conformity And back down 5. Rhythms Mad in a way but I don’t say It’s what you’re used to I got the words but can’t convey I know you’ll turn it all around It's the rhythms that you go through Get it back and you’re not obliged to say Not intact but you’re better off anyway Somehow it’s never up to me What if I would say? Simple words I can’t relate I don’t place upon your view It’s the rhythms that you go through I know what I want You just take me through the motions I know what I want And that’s more than you can say Since you found me out (4x) Your story still remains It’s so unlike still you stay the same And all the while you’re counting on your day to come But nothing ever told you You would say that it’s only for a day Yesterday’s last week tomorrow’s on its way And I’m falling faster all the time What if I would say? Simple words I can’t relate What came easy is now too late And it was always standing right in front of me Cause I know what I want You just take me through the motions I know what I want And that’s more than you can say All the time you thought worth saving You still end up with memories fading After all that you wouldn’t do It makes no sense, it’s that rhythms that you go through I know what I want You just take me through the motions I know what I want And that’s more than you can say (2x) Since you found me out (4x) 6. Motivation What’s the difference of never knowing at all? When every step I take is always too small Maybe it’s just something I can’t admit but lately I feel like I don’t give a shit Motivation such an aggravation Accusations don’t know how to take them Inspiration’s getting hard to fake it Concentration never hard to brake it Situation never what you want it to be What’s the point of never making mistakes? Self-indulgence is such a hard habit to brake It’s all just a waste of time in the end I don’t care so why should I even pretend Motivation such an aggravation Accusations don’t know how to take them Inspiration’s getting hard to fake it Concentration never hard to brake it Situation never what you want it Nothing's new (everything's the same) It keeps on dragging me down (it's getting kind of lame) I'm falling further behind (there's nothing to explain) No matter what you say nothing's gonna change my mind Cant depend on doubt until the end It seems like leaving friends has become This years trend and though I can't pretend It's not the same but who's to blame For all those stupid things I never said Motivation such an aggravation Accusations don't know how to take them Inspiration's getting hard to fake it Concentration never hard to brake it Motivation such an aggravation Accusations don't know how to take them Inspiration's getting hard to fake it Concentration - situation never what you want it to be Never what you want it to be (2x) 7. In Too Deep The faster we’re falling We’re stopping and stalling We’re running in circles again Just as things we’re looking up You said it wasn’t good enough But still we’re trying one more time Maybe we’re just trying to hard When really it’s closer than it is too far Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep Up above in my head, instead of going under (2x) Instead of going under Seems like each time I’m with you I loose my mind Because I’m bending over backwards to relate It’s one thing to complain But when you’re driving me insane Well then I think it’s time that we took a break Maybe we’re just trying to hard When really it’s closer than it is too far Cause I’m in too deep, and I’m trying to keep Up above in my head, instead of going under (2x) Instead of going under (3x) I can’t sit back and wonder why It took so long for this to die And I hate it when you fake it You can’t hide it you might as well embrace it So believe me it’s not easy It seems that something’s telling me I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep Up above in my head, instead of going under Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep Up above in my head, instead of going under Instead of going under Instead of going under again Instead of going under Instead of going under again Instead of going under again (Instead of going under again) 8. Summer It’s far beyond your reach, it holds a place in time Somewhere ahead is the back of the line I can’t relate to your mistakes, awkwardly speaking with nothing to say Caught up in your life, excuses are so lame You may be different but I’m still the same The reasons that you thought, the intention that you caught You say things are simple we both know they’re not You can’t let it go Whoa You can't but I know Whoa, whoa you don't even know It's not in what you do, more in what you say (3x) It's not in what you do, what you do A million questions asked, the remnants of the past You’ve always been denied, but always by your side I’ve always tried to, to understand you The world's not learning from you Whoa, whoa It's not in what you do, more in what you say (3x) (Whoa, whoa) It's not in what you do, what you do 9. Handle This You said it once before, you don't do those things you used to anymore You say in doubt, were fading out, forgetting who we used to be Cause I will bring you down I don't want to miss, I don't think you can handle this You've lost what you can't find, never what you had in mind You take it with a smile, it's so easy when you're always in denial Just in time but out of line I can't make all the same mistakes you want me to Cause I will bring you down I don't want to miss, I don't think you can handle this You've lost what you can't find, never what you had in mind Your giving up you know it's not what you need And true what you're going through Try so hard not listen to everything I never say Cause I will bring you down I don't want to miss, I don't think you can handle this Cause I will bring you down I don't want to miss, and I don't think you can handle this You've lost what you can't find, never what you had in mind I'm getting over getting used to And after all that I put you through, now I see I'm not the only one Never thought It'd ever come to This in fact was never what you wanted from me or how you meant it to be (2x) 10. Crazy Amanda Bunkface Don't know what you've really got It's hard to stay and not pretend You can't make sense in what you've thought It seems I can't comprehend I'm happy to be only all that you see And I'm not one to learn to be the same I don't wanna hear you bitch no more I was better of a year before No matter how I try I can't ignore But every time I think my brain gets sore When I'm with you What's so hard about good-byes? I'm sorry I'm just not as keen On planning out our perfect lives when I'm only nineteen I'm happy to be only all that you see And I'm not one to learn to be the same I don't wanna try and just be friends Nothing's gonna change my mind again If ever they're were thoughts I had they're dead I can't even think inside my head When I'm with you I'm on my way, can't you see that's the truth So long, can't stay, won't you see that's the truth I'm on my way, can't you see that's the truth So long, can't stay, won't you see that's the See that's the, see that's the... Last that I can take Because it's getting really hard to fake It's not it's like my problem that you're late Why can't you just spare the lies I hate? When I'm with you 11. All She's Got This place reminds me of A time that’s way too old These thoughts have gathered up the memories unfold But for now I don’t see what’s so wrong with pretending It’s true I thought you knew Believe her, it’s all she’s got to pass the time Believe her, it’s over now she’s passed her prime Believe her, it’s all she’s got to keep things right Believe her, it’s all she’s got, it’s all she’s got It’s all she’s got, it’s all she’s got These days keep getting worse I’m wasting all my time I thought I’d come in first, instead I fell behind I don’t know, I don’t know if I can keep this up too long It seems most every time my motives are all wrong But for now I don’t see what’s so wrong with pretending It’s true I thought you knew Believe her, it’s all she’s got to pass the time Believe her, it’s over now she’s passed her prime Believe her, it’s all she’s got to keep things right Believe her, it’s all she’s got, it’s all she’s got It's times like this (but time's run out) (3x) It’s times like this, I want to Believe her, it’s all she’s got to pass the time Believe her, it’s over now she’s passed her prime Believe her, it’s all she’s got to keep things right Believe her, it’s all she’s got, it’s all she’s got 12. Heart Attack Remember when there was nothing else to do But lie and bed and Wonder how it was always up to you And no one else and Early mornings, made by warnings What's the point of the alarm that I'm ignoring? It's either raining, I'm not complaining, but waking up is hard to do so Turn my head its back to bed with no delay Can't be bothered by the phone ten times a day Why get up? My morning doesn't even start till two Forget reality waking up is hard to do Remember when we would hang out every day And we would rather Not be told what to do or what to say Cause nothing mattered Never boring with slept in mornings Not ashamed of bad habits that I'm forming Its not important if days are shortened I can't make time when nothings new Cause waking up is hard to do so Turn my head its back to bed with no delay Can't be bothered by the phone ten times a day Why get up? My morning doesn't even start till two Forget reality waking up is hard to do What's a day when it all ends up the same, and lasts forever? Can't complain when there's nothing there to blame, and things can't be better Summer evenings, teenage grievings Got no problem with the life that I've been leading No concentration on hesitation I can't make time when nothings new Cause waking up is hard to do so Turn my head its back to bed with no delay Can't be bothered by the phone ten times a day Why get up? My morning doesn't even start till two Forget reality waking up is hard to do 13. Pain For Pleasure The seas have parted The endings started The sky has turned to black A killing spree through eternity The devil stabs you in the back It's midnight now you must escape somehow torture is his leisure Don't try to hide he'll make you subside As he exchanges pain for pleasure Pain for pleasure, he's the hunter you're the game Pain for pleasure, Satan is his name! Look out!
