Busy Signal 02:21
Hey I’m just tryin to get by Yeah I'm just tryin to survive And is it so dumb To wanna have some fun Cause i just wanna have some fun before I die I got a busy signal goin' in my head And a flatline heart cuz I’m so brain dead I got a busy signal ... goin' on in my head I’m just tryin to relate While in a fucked up state and I may be one dopey son of a gun But I really know how to vegetate I got a busy signal goin' in my head And a flatline heart cuz I’m so brain dead I got a busy signal ... goin' on in my head I got a busy signal goin' on in my brain And my heart ain't pumpin’ nothin’ to my veins I got a busy signal ... goin' on in my brain

Can't wait til Friday Can't wait til May Checkin the clock School gets out in forty seven days yeah Get me outta here I wake up we're on the highway when will we get there thirty two miles away When we reach the future baby When we get there we'll burn it down When we reach the future baby All of our problems will be solved Savin up now For my vacation Baby pack up we're gonna do that thing What is that thing I forget why I don't know When we reach the future baby When we get there we'll burn it down When we reach the future baby All of our problems will be solved Kids are growin up Got bills to pay Three years to Florida Cuz shit pays my way When we reach the future baby When we get there we'll burn it down When we reach the future baby All of our problems will be solved

I’m tired of spending my time Spending my time around you I got no time to be wasting my dimes Wasting my dimes all on you I want it all back All the hours and the minutes and the seconds smack dab In the middle of a spinning drain Suckin me down Twisting me round Flushing me out When I’m making it rain I’m through feeling so blue Feeling so blue about you I’m done squirming under your thumb Squirming under your thumb ya it’s true I want it all back All the hours and the minutes and the seconds smack dab In the middle of a spinning drain Suckin me down Twisting me round Flushing me out When I’m making it rain

It don’t make much sense anymore and I’m beginning to wonder if it ever did before my reflection’s not the same but a ghost is still a ghost by any other name It’s meaningless It’s a meaningless existence It’s moving much too fast these days visions break apart in far too many ways nothing’s coming into frame and I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll ever be the same It’s meaningless It’s a meaningless existence

My Direction 01:42
I see you standin' over there Lookin' my direction I heard the talk around town And it needs no correction You got somethin' to share I made that connection You wanna break it all down Well I got an objection Yeah I am aware And I don’t care Now you’re walkin' my way Lookin’ for interjection Out the corner my eye Yeah I made that detection I’m not gonna lie It’s a little bit disaffection I know the choices I got And I made my selection Yeah I am aware And I don’t care
7.
Falling in love ain’t what it used to be The falling apart of the state of the art’s just not fused to me The wilting of wires the burning of LEDs The crack of a spark from a shock to the heart doesn’t do anything They’ll never know what you do in the dark They’ll never care that you hold on so tight in the glow by the light of your headphones at night The crackling of static in the evening breeze The laying to waste of the battery taste brings me to my knees The melting desires read only by memories The flickering glitches in star fields of wishes don’t mean anything They’ll never know what you do in the dark They’ll never care that you hold on so tight in the glow by the light of your headphones at night
8.
You tied your key onto a kite And tried to prove that you were bright But when the lightning didn’t strike You felt a shock from deep inside You can have a lucky day And laugh about it come what may Fuck what all the haters say They won’t turn up for it anyway Dreaming on’s for dreamers when they’re dreaming but it’s starting to come true You raised your creature to the sky And tried to zap that boy to life Kicked him when the thunder died But then his eyes popped open wide You can have a lucky day And laugh about it come what may Fuck what all the haters say They won’t turn up for it anyway Dreaming on’s for dreamers when they’re dreaming but it’s starting to come true

I been walking in the alleyways and the back yards of this town Keep my head down when I get around I just don’t make a sound It’s been harder to get lost when you know your way around But it’s better get lost when you don’t wanna be found And I don’t wanna be found So you won’t see me around I won’t be hangin at the record store actin profound You won’t see me around I won’t be kickin out the jams with the punkers downtown You won’t see me around Might as well be pushing flowers in the ground Cuz you won’t see me around I been glowing like a ghost in the glow of my tv after dark The only chasin’ is by Freddie and Jason and a big shark No fear of missing out can spook me out enough to get me sniffing around I know what happens during curious reactions to mysterious sounds And some strangeness resounds So you won’t see me around I won’t be hangin at the record store actin profound You won’t see me around I won’t be kickin out the jams with the punkers downtown You won’t see me around Might as well be pushing flowers in the ground Cuz you won’t see me around It takes mind flexes and quick reflexes to slip through the cracks And I’m smart enough to know I’m dumb enough to just get the ax So you won’t see me around I won’t be hangin at the record store actin profound You won’t see me around I won’t be kickin out the jams with the punkers downtown You won’t see me around Might as well be pushing flowers in the ground Cuz you won’t see me around

I see it in your eyes You got it all to lose I see right through your soul You need another to use I feel it in the air You’re on the hunt tonight But you’ll never realize You got no spark in your bite Cuz you’re a death faker a rule unbreaker a risk untaker, a sound unmaker a dream unwaker You’re waiting in the dark Infecting shadows to hide Watching from the walls With a contaminate pride I feel it in my bones You need a moment to strike But you’ll never get it right Cause you don’t know what it’s like Cuz you’re a death faker a rule unbreaker a risk untaker, a sound unmaker a dream unwaker
