All About the Greens

I want to hold my breath and hope everything will change.
But I can be so self-involved and not see other ways, I know.
I know we’ll make it through another day.
Sometimes things fall apart, just to be rebuilt much stronger,
And know that from this we can only grow closer.
Nothing comes without work, compromise (and) communication.
Through open roads and open hearts, this is within our control.
We’ve come so far together, and further every day.
So forget those bumpy roads and when this ship might sway,
I know we’ll make it through another day.
Sometimes things fall apart, just to be rebuilt much stronger,
And know that from this we can only grow closer.
Nothing comes without work, compromise (and) communication.
Through open roads and open hearts, this is within our control.
And now we’re moving on, turning a new page.
We can’t let those outside, dictate our mistakes.
We can’t let those who don’t know, question dues we’ve paid.
We take our lumps and we move on every day.
We move on.

When I look into your eyes
I see through all the lies you tell me, talk about me
Never gonna be the same my friend.
And this time it is for real
I’m gonna slide the steel out of my back
And show you exactly how it feels.
Goodbye to my old friend
I see that you were not a true one in the end
Fake as fuck
How does it feel, that I sent you on your way.
Now I look back on just how things were and how they all turned out
I poured my heart out to you
So quick to judge me, the anger makes me shout
Every time I see your face displacement runs inside my head
I don’t give a fuck, anymore
I wish that you were dead.
Goodbye to my old friend
I know that you were not a true one in the end
Fake as fuck
How does it feel, that I sent you on your way
Anger and regret are one on the same
I thought we were friends and it drives me insane.
When I needed you most you just packed up and left
How could you treat me with such disrespect?
Anger and regret are one on the same
I thought we were friends and it drives me insane

Monday Matinee

April 24th, 2000, when I took that trip downtown.
Monday Matinee, I never thought about it causing such a change.
Six bucks got me through the door and a band called Chubb opened the show
And taught me why Dave Nichols was so great.
Next up two guys screamed about how you’ve got to “shelter the children” (FOR WHAT!)
With such anger and distain.
Well the music hit like a ton of bricks and the floor was shaking.
A whirlwind of kids circled ‘round the room.
With a shoulder down I hit the ground and was soon surrounded,
To be picked back up and placed back on my feet
(LET’S START AGAIN)
LISP begged to go back to fifteen,
Handheld claimed they were “still tickin’”
It was the first and last time I heard “Life’s Refrain”
Another Joe capped off the show, with a fill-in drummer – but you’d never know
I still wonder what would have happened if Moneen had played.
Well, the music hit like a ton of bricks and the floor was shaking.
A whirlwind of kids circled ‘round the room.
With a shoulder down I hit the ground and was soon surrounded,
To be picked back up and placed back on my feet to start again.
On that day I felt a change and my life would never be the same.
A simple punk show changed my world.
With 4/4 time and a T-Riff chord, I was ready to go a start a war…
But first, I’d have to get picked up.

I'm Fukt, I'm Sorry

I look back on the past 15 years and I've got a lot to say,
I'm sorry that I let you down, in so many ways,
The love you showed me and I tore your heart out time and time again,
It’s time to change this shit, you deserve it and it's time you got a win,
I'm always screaming out your name
And you look the other way,
I'm sorry for all of the shit I put you through these years,
If you can find it in your heart, we can go back to the start,
I swear I’ll love you better,
Please forgive me,
I'm sorry for all of the shit that I've done, I fucked up I wish it could be all undone.
I'm sorry for all of the shit that I've done, I fucked up I wish it could be all undone.
I swear I'm gonna make it right again someday I'm not sure how,
Or when but I know when I do, it's gonna make you proud,
To love me once again our hearts will beat again and not apart
I'll stop living selfishly and give you every piece of my heart.
I'm always screaming out your name, and you look the other way,
I'm sorry for all the shit I've put you through these years,
If you can find it in your heart, we can go back to the start,
I swear I’ll love you better,
Please forgive me.
I'm sorry for all of the shit that I've done, I'm fucked up, I wish it could all be undone.
I'm sorry for all of the shit that I've done, I'm fucked up, I wish it could all be undone.
I'm sorry for all of the shit that I've done, I'm fucked up, I wish it could all be undone.
I'm sorry for all of the shit that I've done, I'm fucked up, I wish it could all be undone.

And here we go, another time
Another example of a rich man’s plight
With not enough to make, Privatize
Forget about how the world will pay
With each mistake, oil, mine, drain until decay
And if I must choose, I’ll sacrifice to guarantee you lose
This land has something that isn’t yours
At some point "no" is the answer to "more"
You can’t just monopolize birth given rights
Not without a Fight!!!!
You have a choice to use your voice
Dollars and cents, money best unspent
Water is life, so fuck your plight
Corporate greed should not supersede human right
This land has something that isn’t yours
At some point "no" is the answer to "more"
You can’t just monopolize birth given rights
Not without a Fight!!!!

Worlds Apart

I’ve seen a light in you, brighter than most stars.
You took me from my worst, and brought me back to where I started,
Smiling now, with positivity.
You helped me then, you helped me:
Open up my eyes to something, greater than first thought.
You said “You’ve got the will to persevere, just look within your heart”
So these words I scribble on the page, a testament to all you’ve done
But you’ll probably never know.
So I tell you now with all my heart,
Even though it seems we’re worlds apart.
So here I go again, relapsing on this page.
Remembering all you’ve done to this day.
Through the best and through the worst,
We’ve stuck it through.
This is how I’ll remember to…
Do my best to not compare
How words were said and not repaired.
Heated exchanges are nothing new, we’ve both said some things we ought not to.
And for everything that we’ve done wrong, I hope to make amends with this song.
Finally, make things feel alright, some real emotion not just trite.
So here’s to me and here’s to you
The histories of what we have both been through.
I hope someday to find common ground,
Though more and more we’re not around.
I’ve still got memories to make me smile
And they’ll stay with me all the while.
We’ve gone separate ways, and that’s alright.
Go off into the night.
