Planning For Chaos (Click Album Art to See Full Size):
Postmodern Medicine 1. PROGNOSIS (INTRO) Can you feel it seeping through? Not unlike the things that you could include, the fragments that you are - you are. It’s been a week and still you’re the same. Crawling over fragments one and the same confines that you are - you are. I gotta think to make you believe every single night you couldn’t complete the fragments that you are - you are. 2. SINCE YOU LEFT Things haven’t been harder since you left. I keep to myself and I keep to my cigarettes, oh yea. And somewhere between you I get lost, through the haze. You always run while I’m in place. You’ll never get that far, and you’ll never get that far, never get that far as I watch you. I haven’t been crying since you left. I keep taking fragments and leaving the addresses again I guess it’s hard. With all those things I wanna write you through the haze, you always run while I’m in place. You’ll never get that far, and you’ll never get that far, never get that far as I watch you. I wanna touch the sky, now that I could be again. I wanna feel the sky. I could pretend my isolation is gone but now you’ll never get that far, never get that far, and I’ll never get that far as I watch you. And you’ll never get that far, you’ll only know how hard it was. 3. THE RENAISSANCE Infraction’s just another waste of time, I could never get a piece of her mind. In real life she was a counter girl counting credit cards, making sure the stars don’t make us better (we’ll make it better), you make us better (we’ll make it better). I got away, I got a way, I gotta know that if she’s burning trees, I’ll never see, the girl under the smoke. Rest assured this was a long time coming and I came up and cut you off. Dusted the trigger off but was was this used? And you know I like to be abused, and you know I’ll never know. Three sheets two hours sleep and back at work, every night we just wind down from oblivion. And these days inside are such a mindless curse; I’m cutting credit cards, bathing in the shards that make us better (we’ll make it better), now put your hands up in the air and come down slow. Rest assured this was a long time coming and I came up and cut you off. Dusted the trigger off but was was this used? And you know I like to be abused, but you know I’ll never know. You know I’ll never know... 4. DOMINO I got a fresh band-aid, I’m not a chemic babe, but you know I’m gonna try real hard to pull through. Every night when I see a million faces and I cannot fucking place it but i want to get more. I gotta know I got a real thing goin’ here, can’t imagine I could ever see so clear. Cold fusion and I think this sinking ship is endearing, and I’m steering towards the edge of life. When everything before was right, you’re such a bad bad baby such a bad baby tonight. And now we’re slipping in the waves, a dark descent a failing grace. You won’t believe it till you see it for yourself and then confirm with someone else that you can never get away you gotta play the game always. Gotta know I got a real thing goin’ here, I can’t imagine I could ever see so clear. Cold fusion and I think this sinking ship is endearing, and I’m steering towards the edge of life. When everything before was right, you’re such a bad bad baby such a bad baby tonight. I don’t wanna go too far but I want you to take me to the underground. Never wanna see the score you’re such a bad bad baby, such a bad bad baby, bad bad baby tonight. I don’t care about the truth, as it stands to nullify a schizophrenic point of view - lead you it. I’ve got a lot to throw away (Hey!) even if you wanna stay. And I don’t got the will to break and tell you I’ve got a lot to worry about with planning my escape, but I’m not gonna make the same mistakes. My god this sinking ship is endearing, and baby you look great tonight, but its true, you’re never gonna be, you never could believe. But it’s true and it’s you, you’re never gonna see, you’re never gonna leave. But it’s true, and it’s you, you’re never gonna... 5. EMPIRE STATE Well I woke up in New York State with an empty cup and a bottle of J. With an SSS and Pebbles in hand, we drove across the eastern land. ‘Cause it made us feel better when, we were just consumed, even though it came and went so soon. Well I can’t hold on, not unless you make me irresponsible for everything I am. Even though you come too fast, it’s not so fast to hear you calling out. And I know we all lucked out, many times many dates. In fact I think about it now, there’s too many to name! From the Wurst Cousins to the best of fans, we’ll put our desperate lives, into your hands. So when I gave you up, it was a calm disgrace. Now we’re back, in western states. All in sync but out of pace. I’m gonna get you back, somehow some way... Because it made us feel better when, we were just consumed, even though it came and went so soon. I can’t hold on, not unless you make me irresponsible for everything I am. Even though it comes too fast, it’s not so fast to hear you calling out. And so long to walking amongst the thieves. They just aren’t people like you and me. I’m tired of living I’ve left too soon. I’m coming with you. 6. WASTED DARLING This hot stolen ride, happens all the time, your Hasidic rage and now what did you say? Maybe I did, maybe I - maybe I don’t – woe. Picking it up too fast for me, letting you mislead me. You’re all I see to get this way… Come along my wasted darling, your secret’s safe with me. So come along my wasted darling, I knew you’d give... yea. I’m kicking it up a notch, I’m letting it go too far now. Kicking I’m letting this out and I’m screaming out loud, where did this go, and I’m trying to fight, going too slow, maybe I did, maybe I, don’t woe. Misleading, you’re all I need to get this way... Come along my wasted darling, your secret’s safe with me. So come along my wasted darling, I knew you’d give. Come along my wasted darling, your secret’s safe with me. So come along my wasted darling, I knew you’d give... yea. Forgive me father I have sinned. I know I’m not the only one and I know I’m not coming home. Misleading, you’re all I see to get this way... Come along my wasted darling, your secret’s safe with me. So come along my wasted darling, I knew you’d give. Come along my wasted darling, your secret’s safe with me. So come along my wasted darling, I knew you’d give... yea. 7. 4TH OF JULY Another night of broken sleep transitions, another 25 crucial life decisions still not crossed off the list. There’s a lot of old things that were wrecked. I got an overdraft fee that cashed my rent check, that’s my mistake. Time of need – I’ll be burning at both ends. We will be – living pay to paycheck. Doing all we can as I’m trying to get up. Let’s stay in and celebrate out of control, there’s not other place I will go tonight. As the day grows cold as lights burst into the sky. In a way, they remind me to say, that there’s no other place that I’m going without taking you… You know that I’ve seen a lot of weird shit on first ave, I’ve seen a sewage pipe burst and flood my bathroom, but I cleaned it up. If something sounds too good to be true, if something sounds too good it probably is, but I should know by now. Time of need – I’ll be burning at both ends. We will be – living pay to paycheck. Doing all we can when I’m trying to get up. So let’s stay in and celebrate like never before I got a new stash of sixty-four (1664). As the day grows cold as lights burst into the sky. In a way, they remind me to say, that there’s no other place that I’m going without taking you… Never had much padding in the bank, I never had much shit to give away. Never had to worry about my 9 to 5, I‘ll share this spliff and songs I write. And I’ll be gone till morning, but I’m coming home from touring to. With all those things I wish I’d say and I’ll be another day. And I’ll be gone till morning, but I’m coming home from touring to you. 8. ANTIDOTE (SELF-DEFEAT) I’m all alone on a wasted Sunday and my aching body’s laying low. Everything accumulates ensures we’ll do it twice disgracing ourselves. And all to myself I stand braced for misdirection and if it stings, then it’s barely sinking in. I know the worst is coming, everyday is a wrongful succumbing of self-defeat. What did I live for? What did I strive for? Don’t you start... ‘Cause I’m setting up a backlash hysteria and like a crimson colored crack whore addicted on the worst bender that you’ve ever seen, ever read about and thinking ‘bout me driving too slow, brought to life right by the side of the road... And if you wanna call me sweetheart, and you think of ways for us to part, repairing all our old constraints, cutting these complaints. And if you wanna say I’m dreaming, you wanna stay believing, well you can’t go bring me back to earth, not if you go first. We won’t wait for another, fate of mind or undercover - thinking of our big mistakes, crushing our heartstrings, it always felt the same... So pick up the phone on an adjacent Monday, and console your ego’s wailing cries. All night I tried ways to answer interrogation techniques that were cramping my style. Though cramping my style I stand braced for misdirection and it’s barely sinking in. I know the best is coming, everyday is a wrongful succumbing of self-defeat. Well are you telling me no? Brought back to life right by the side of the road... And if you wanna call me sweetheart, you think of ways for us to part, repairing all our old constraints, cutting these complaints. And if you wanna say I’m dreaming, you wanna stay believing, well you can’t go bring me back to earth, not if you go first. We won’t wait for another, fate of mind or undercover - thinking of our big mistakes crushing our heartstrings, always felt the same... We won’t wait for another, we won’t wait for eachother, we won’t wait, these chances, we won’t wait, from the ashes, we won’t wait for another, we won’t wait for eachother, we won’t wait, in terror, we won’t wait, in error, we won’t wait, for another, we won’t wait, to recover, we won’t wait, casting irons into shallow lakes, from the ashes... Self-Defeat. 9. NICKY I’m told mistakes are really blind, and they take time, to sort it out and pick it up again. When I think about the way we got around and we lived in the moment, oh Nicky it might have been short goddammit... Smoke rings midnight, and ding-dong-ditch, we were running to cover our mistakes, we were drinking Heinekens by the crate. Morning came I thought we’d be friends until the end of our days, or at least until you’d been over-age, I could never understand it so: When I think about the way we got around and we lived in the moment, oh Nicky it might have been short goddamn it was good... Though I don’t believe I could see you on the other side: When I think about the way we got around and we lived in the moment, oh Nicky it might have been short goddammit. 10. MENTAL HEALTH Life changes all the time, but if you read between the lines we can try and make this last forever. Walls begin to close, and the symptoms start to show like a spiral down forever... Now I feel, like crawling back to you, and I don't know if you've decided what the mood is gonna be. A party or panic attack, scared to death on how to act. Every single heart attack I just wait for... And if you sleep with a switchblade, and you barricade yourself inside our home while it's aflame you say: I hate this town, write it on my grave and still I, never thought I'd ever wanna stay, but I got erased. I got erased, and I feel, like a new soldier, who's weighing free-weights of the world on his shoulders. And time is my key, time is my savior, and all I that I waste just turns to anger. Just break me down, what did you mean when everything starts to unwrap at the seams? My whole world is estranged, but i just won't give up, though everything starts to fall, lost with all what is enough? I feel, like sorting through the truth, and I'm convinced that I can't tell it to the nurses or the doctors, or attendees on the floor I'm forced to stay, 72 hours counting down along the way... And if you sleep w/ a switchblade, and you barricade yourself inside our home while it's aflame you say: I hate this town, write it on my grave and still I, never thought I'd ever wanna stay, but I got erased. Wait, this out, scream, your sounds. I'm locked out, you're... Bang! You broil up another batch-full, I couldn't meet your demands, and I've witnessed many things, but nothing like this scene, I couldn't let you stay there and all go up in flames. Why'd you wanna stay? Oh my darling don't read this out loud, our place is totally surrounded, strangers following me, they work for Charlie Sheen. Him and Kobe Bryant marked our bills, they drugged our food and switched our pills, and now it's plain to see, what the fuck is really going on?! Another week I am reborn, hundreds of pages wrote and torn, and what's believable is stretched conceivably. She'll stop these things before they start, ripping pages stomping hearts, if you get me to my car, we’re going way too far... Without my girl inside my life I'll have to get another knife, and sleep with it myself, ‘cause i don't believe in mental health. You know I don’t believe in mental health. 11. CONSTRUCTING A RUBBER EMPIRE Gravity, such a calamity, I’m struggling to get inside. Either way I’ve gotta another chance to take and break you in, break you in. How can we let all these feelings away? When I give and I give and I give and I take – and never want no one to hear what I say - now. Gravity, such a catastrophe, I’m struggling to ease my mind. Either way, I’ve gotta another chance to take, and break you in, break you in. I got nothing that gets from, points A to C and back. Wanna lead this misdirection, wanna see them hold you back. Shout: Hey, little citizen, do you know what you’re living in when you’re so predictable and everything still stains when you say I’m not taking this down, hey babe, we’ll never burn out cause I’m on an overload of things on the down low. And now my delivery’s late like a fistfight over a parking space is left and I’m a citizen, I wish I could forgive again. Screams from blank TV screens, busted pipe dreams, strewn across the seams. Lies, counting your cards, lining your stars, couldn’t get another follower. Give it away. No I couldn’t slow down when you’re calling my name. You know I couldn’t get around the fact there’s no one to blame. You know I couldn’t slow down but you’re one and the same. You know I couldn’t get around. No baby don’t stop me till I’m sane... Hey, little citizen, do you know what you’re living in when you’re so predictable and everything still stains when you say I’m not taking this down, hey babe, we’ll never burn out cause I’m on an overload of things on the down low. And now my delivery’s late like a fistfight over a parking space is left and I’m a citizen, I wish I could forgive again. And if I stay here, wouldn’t you change? Could it be different? What if I wait? I found you in disbelief almost insane from chemical mysteries, when I’m in love with things that don’t change. Now your mind it breaks it comes and goes, well baby hell nobody has to know why this fall can never come back, we can never start again, never retract. And now hey there, what did you say to me? I don’t know but everyone seems to relentlessly causing offenses that are quintessentially the same. Well these kids aren’t the same, all these new whistles and chains, invented new technology but what the hell is wrong with me? My hands are out my pants, and I guess you’re feeling crazy, when last night’s a little hazy, are we every gonna get there? Are we ever gonna get there? 12. ADD IT UP Doesn’t matter what you’re thinking, all the odds are on me now I just never seem to open up. Here I am with the shades drawn in. I am pulling myself in and I want an end to this. So look away and I’ll be okay. If you don’t see… So add it up, make me believe that you could come and save me (yea you would). But you don’t know… It doesn’t matter what you’re holding, you couldn’t give me anything to fill up beneath the frames. You’re all I wanted and all I felt was love surprise and change. So add it up, make me believe that you could come and save me (yea you would). But you don’t know… Yea you don’t know. But you don’t know. Yea you don’t, you don’t, you don’t. You still don’t know. So add it up, I could make believe that you could come and save me - you still could but, you don’t know.
I’ve done a lot to think about this May, I State But there were all these things that I couldn’t see, As the Chinese say: I State You got in this on the notion, I State
Sex Crazed Top I wonder this got going without us knowing how all this could end… When all night stayed, And won’t you not get close to me, while we’re scandalizing all we can. And wonder this got going without us knowing how all this could end… When all night stayed, Swimming Away Top That’s why I gotta relate, And where did you go? When you’re feeling lost, That’s why I gotta relate, Oh blowing away, I noticed too late, I know you’ll never stop. It began with a bang. At the top of the world (oh yea) no one can touch me normally. There must be some kind of place, When you look up at me, are you thinking that I feel you? At the top of the world (oh yea) no one can touch me normally. There must be some kind of drug, So let’s forget about those things never said.
Chellie Top
Are You Missing Me? Top So we live and call this progress. When you fall it’s a long way up. I’m yours be mine my valentine: Well I know I’m lonely and I’ve got nothing to show for it. Don’t try, don’t think, don’t talk about it When you fall it’s a long way up. I’m yours be mine my valentine: She said: When you fall it’s a long way up. I’m yours be mine my valentine:
I’ll Keep You Top And I can’t see, why we don’t just embrace our miseries and face the reasons we stay inside… Cuz every ball has got a chain, I can’t seem to fit, all the shit that I want in my mouth. If I can’t see, why we don’t just embrace our miseries and face the reasons we stay inside… I know you don’t belong here, And when I get there I will know… I’ll keep you satisfied, Cuz every ball has got a chain,
II sat around for the whole school day, I love my life I know its true, I love my life I know its true, I saw your band at the Lindo show, I love my life I know its true, I went to a party up at UC, I love my life I know its true, Tomorrow I don’t care, Tomorrow its not there…
Ring, Ring, And it’s exactly where you know you wanna be, I’m unfaithful. And it’s exactly where you know you wanna be, Get it off. All my waking life I’d adhered to the advice that in order to truly know happiness a person must truly embrace suffering first. For this very reason I have constantly put myself in harm’s way. Endeavored to lie, cheat and steal; take a mile when given an inch; stretch a relationship out like a new pair of pants; share my tumultuously private experiences through song; because I believe in vanity humanity and overwhelming calamities happening to the good of people for no good fucking reason. And because of the inherent uncertainty in existence, we grasp at anything we can. Well I say fuck reliability, and fuck that! Let’s bask in it, and celebrate its mystery as postmodern products perplexed in a plastic parameter that permeates every possible parallel...
Self-consious manikin’s all, If I got nothing to say, I’ll be throwing this out, I’ve been broken for days, till I found my heart, So its time I embrace, all my deepest flaws, If I got nothing to say, I’ll be throwing this out, I’ve been broken for days, till I found my heart, So its time I embrace, all my deepest flaws, Well I’m not one to go beep my own horn but,
