Find My Place

Gotta find my place in this world
Gotta find my place in this world
I want to be more than just a face in the crowd
I want to be proud of my time in this world

Feel like someone's taken my place in this world
I feel out of place every place
Too much time on my hands
And no one understands my demands
For changing this world

I've got so much faith in this world
I've got so much riding on this
I keep working so hard and it just breaks my heart
When it all seems to fall apart
At the seams

Gotta find my place in your heart
Gotta find my place in your mind
Gotta find the time to find the time
To find the life I left behind trying to find
My place in this world
Find my place in this world
Find my place in this world

Before The Accident

Well here's to you
And your old crew
For when you used to run this town
Before the new kids came around
Before you cam back
Before you went away
Before everything here changed

Here's to you
And your old crew
Before you played your cards too soon
Here's to sitting around talking
About how wild you used to be
Here's to stagnating and complaining
And to your lame washed up bar scene

Here's to you before growing up too soon
Before the accident

Here's to being bitter, here's to regret
Here's to the old days, drink to forget
Here's to ditching all your used-to-be's
And coming back out on the town with me

Here's to you before growing up too soon
Before the accident

I Used To

I used to want you
Now I want to make you nervous
Now I want to make you hate
Now I want to make you crazy
So that we could still relate
And we could get drunk all night
And in the morning ride your
Motorcycle through the dirt road
Countryside
Like we used to

I used to need you
Now I need to fuck up your life
Cause you pain and strife
Stab you in the heart
With a rusty knife
Then maybe you'd still be a
Skitzed out freak and maybe
You'd still like me
And at least you'd still be interesting

I used to

Reach For The Bottle

I'd love to stay and have another beer
And we could waste another year
Saying how the last one was better
Do you remember the time?

Now the only time I see you smile and sigh
The only time I see that sparkle in your eye
Is when you talk about getting another bag of dope

I hate to see you when you
Reach for the bottle
Reach for the needle
Reach for the little white pills
To kill the pain

Think you're so wild with the bottle in your hand
Slurring your speech, barely able to stand
But you look just like a younger version of
Your stupid drunk old man

When you reach for the bottle
Reach for the needle
Reach for the little white pills
It kills your spirit
It kills your imagination
It makes me sick it makes me sad
It makes me wonder what happened to you
It makes me reach for the bottle too

Walkin' Catastrophe

Hey, she's a walking catastrophe
She keeps on whining and now
It's all rubbing off on me

Hey, she's looking for sympathy
So keep on crying
You're not getting any from me

Everything's gone wrong again
Everything is all fucked up
Everything
Everything
It's all rubbing off on me

I Am An Elephant

Wow, look at you
You're pathetic
It's amusing
It's depressing
It's amazing

Tell everyone
You're what you're not
And they believe you
They proceed to
Emulate you

Now you've got a whole
Circle jerk of fakes
Crowding up my space
I'm taking shit behind your back
I'd say it to your face
But I'm not sure which one
Hey!

There's one thing that hasn't changed
You're still a joke to me
It's so easy to see right through you

Do you remember
That I knew you
When you were just
Yourself?

Well I wonder, were you ever?
Anyway, I liked you better
When you did not
Change with the weather

Doesn't it feel good to know
I'll always remember you?
Do you wish I'd go away?
Do you think I could?
Change your past, change your style,
Change your identity
But you're a fool and a fake
I don't forget easily

There's one thing that hasn't changed
You're still a joke to me
It's so easy to see right through you

I Am The Stranger

I'm glad you taught your kids my name
They scream it as they run away

They say it's getting worse out there
Let me welcome you to the climate of fear
I am the stranger

Your paranoia created me
A picture perfect scary freak
A violent drugged out two-bit thief
Just like they show them on T.V.

You lock your car door when I walk by
You won't even look me in the eye

I walk alone down the street at night
Triggering every sensor-security light
I am the stranger

You lock me out of your world
But you won't leave me alone
Concerned neighbors call the cops on me
For going into my own home

Look at you, you're scared of life
Just waiting to be killed, saying
"If I don't call the cops on you my neighbor will"

But your neighbor
Is the stranger

Certain Things

He is good at certain things
Like making you feel guilty
And disappointing everybody
At breaking promises and plans
And talking shit behind your back
And telling you how you should live
While he goes nowhere fast

He says I only see his faults
But that's not true
I'm trying to have a positive attitude
Yeah, he is good, really good
At certain things

She is good at certain things
Like staying at home and watching TV
Yeah, she really does it perfectly
But that's not all, you also get
Snotty condescending comments
And she's really good at turning
A small problem
Into a huge dramatic mess

These talents didn't come naturally though
It took a lot of practice
To get them down so well
Now she is good, really good
At certain things

They were both really good
Really good friends of mine
But people they change over time
Now they are so perfect together
I'm so glad they found each other
They make such a wonderful couple

Mahogany

Do you know where you're going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you know?

Do you get what you're hoping for
When you look behind you there's no open doors
What are you hoping for
Do you know?

Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies and fear in our minds
Do you know how I loved you but my spirit was free
Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me

Do you know where you're going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you know?

Now looking back at all we've had
We let so many dreams just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long before we see
How sad the answers to those questions can be
