LET’S NOT GET CAUGHT UP IN SEMANTICS
I NEVER NEEDED ANYTHING AS BAD AS I NEED YOU
WHEN YOU TURNED YOUR BACK ON ME
THERE’S NOT ANYTHING THAT I WOULDN’T DO
AND I KNOW SOMETIMES I SEEM SO DRAMATIC
BUT THE DARKEST SHADOW OF THE CITY STREETS
HAVE STAINED MY SOUL
AND WHEN I LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR
WHAT IS IT I SEE? BECAUSE IT ISN’T ME
OH NO, I DON’T RECOGNIZE MYSELF ANYMORE

I GOT A LITTLE MONEY, WHO CARES
I GOT SOME FRIENDS, BUT WHEN I REALLY NEED EM’
THEY ARE NEVER THERE
I GOT A LITTLE TIME, WHO DON’T
I GOT SOME STUFF THAT I KNOW I SHOULD DO
BUT I JUST PROBABLY WON’T
YOU CAN GO AND CALL ME NEGATIVE
BECAUSE, IT’S TRUE
YOU CAN SAY I PISS ON EVERYTHING
BECAUSE, I DO
BUT SOMETHING THAT I’VE LEARNED
FROM BRIDGES THAT I’VE BURNED
IT’S SELFLESS TO BE SELFISH
SO DON’T EVER WAIT YOUR TURN
DID YOU KNOW HOW WONDERFUL
THIS LIFE CAN BE?
WHEN YOU DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT EVERYTHING
AND YOU DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANYTHING
OR ANYONE LIKE ME. I’M JUST SAYING,
NOTHING’S MORE IMPORTANT, THAN YOUR HEALTH
BUT IF YOU CAN,
ALWAYS DO SOMETHING KIND FOR SOMEONE ELSE
DON’T FOCUS ON DOUBT, OR WHAT YOU ARE WITHOUT
AND REMEMBER NOT TO FORGET TO BE KIND TO YOURSELF
IT MAY BE HARDER THAN YOU THINK IT IS
DON’T BE ASPERSE. I KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING
IT MAY COME OUT AS ADVERSE
SOME SAY IT’S A BLESSING, SOME SAY IT’S A CURSE
THE ONLY WAY TO FEEL BETTER
IS TO GO OUT AND FEEL WORSE

I’LL NEVER KNOW JUST WHAT YOU SEE IN ME
DON’T YOU KNOW YOU SHOULDN’T LOVE A LIAR
BUT IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE ON ME
I CAN SHOW YOU THAT MY HEART’S ON FIRE
FOR YOU, MY BABY, MY LADY, MY QUEEN
GIVE ME JUST A LITTLE TIME
I’LL SHOW YOU WHAT I MEAN
WHEN I TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU
AND I DON’T WANT YOU TO LEAVE
BUT THIS ENERGY IS KILLING ME
I’LL TELL YOU WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW
I THINK WE JUST NEED EACH OTHER
WE NEED EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW
IF ONLY WE COULD GET TOGETHER
MAYBE WE COULD GET IT FIGURED OUT

BEFORE YOU TURN THE ENGINE ON
I NOTICED THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG
WITH BOTH YOUR EYES, I GET IT ANYWAY
NO WAY IN HELL I’D LET YOU DRIVE
I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD STAY ALIVE
YOU SIT AND SMILED: “I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU SAY”
BEFORE I GET TOO OLD
I WANT TO DIE YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL & BROKE
YOU FALL ASLEEP BEHIND THE WHEEL
LIKE IT AIN’T EVEN NO BIG DEAL, YOU KILL ME BABE
ONE DAY YOU’LL KILL US BOTH
THE WILD SIDE NOBODY SEES
THE DEVIL INSIDE OF YOU AND ME
IF WE LET IT OUT, IT’LL BE ALL SHE WROTE
BECAUSE THE PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN
WON’T THINK THAT BURNING IT DOWN IS A JOKE
BEFORE WE GET TOO OLD
I WANNA DIE YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL & BROKE
OH AN OLD ROUTINE, THIS KAMIKAZE DREAM
IS MORE FUN THAN IT SEEMS, THE PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN
WON’T THINK THAT BURNING IT DOWN IS A JOKE
BUT THEY WON’T SEE US LAUGHING
AS WE DRIVE DIRECTLY STRAIGHT INTO THE SMOKE
BEFORE WE GET TOO OLD
I WANNA DIE YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL & BROKE

I NEVER NEEDED A LOVER
I NEVER NEEDED A FRIEND
AND WHEN I PUT MYSELF OUT THERE
IT SEEMS THAT I ALWAYS GET FUCKED IN THE END
AND ON THE WAY HOME
WHERE I NEVER FEEL SO ALONE
I NEVER SAW A REASON WHY
ANYONE WOULD CRY
WHILE WAVING TO THIS WORLD GOODBYE
WHY IS THE WORLD ON FIRE
I DON’T THINK THE WORLD IS ENDING
BUT THERE WILL BE AN END
AND I GOTTA BE HONEST
I FANTASIZE ABOUT IT NOW AND AGAIN
AND ONLY FOR A MOMENT
I CAN FINALLY SEE THE FOREST FOR THE TREE
AND HOW THEY DANCE FOR ME
LIKE THOUSANDS OF CANDLES
SWAYING IN THE SUMMER BREEZE
AND IT SEEMS MY ANXIETY
HAS FINALLY GOTTEN THE BEST OF ME
WHY IS THE WORLD ON FIRE
MY ANXIETY HAS FINALLY GOTTEN THE BEST OF ME

IF I’M GOING OUT, I’M GOING OUT IN STYLE
I’LL BE BACK AGAIN, BUT NOT FOR A LITTLE WHILE
CAUSE I’VE BEEN DOWN, BUT NOT OUT BY A MILE
BUT DYIN’ DON‘T FEEL SO REAL
WHEN YOU’RE LIVING IN DENIAL
I WAS STRESSING OUT, IT AIN’T ALL THAT BAD
I WAS SCARED OF LOSING THE ONLY HOME I EVER HAD
AND WHAT I LOVED, I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD EXPIRE
THIS CITY HAS LOST IT’S SOUL AND STYLE I ADMIRED
SO WHILE YOU’RE BACK THERE LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER
TO QUESTIONS THAT’LL CHANGE ALONG THE WAY
I HOPE YOU KNOW I WISH THAT I COULD BE THERE
BUT I KNOW IN MY HEART I MUST STRAY
BUT WE BOTH KNOW IT’LL NEVER LAST THAT WAY
CAUSE’ HANGING OUT SOUNDS NICE
IT‘S ONLY SO DAMN LONELY OUT HERE IN PARADISE
IT’S COLD AS ICE IN MY HOMETOWN
MAKES ME SO DAMN HAPPY THAT I’M NOT AROUND
HOME, WHERE THE HEART BREAKS
I WANNA FEEL ALIVE AGAIN AND I DON’T CARE
HOW LONG THAT IT WILL TAKE
I CAN’T MAKE ANY EXCUSES OR COMPROMISE
ON MY WAY TO PARADISE
SO IF MY HEART BREAKS, FUCK IT - I KNOW THE FEELING
IT’S TIME THAT I LET GO OF WHAT I’VE BEEN CONCEALING
I KNOW MY TRUTH, IT’S JUST TIME THAT I EMBRACE IT
I CAN SEE THE SUN SETTING AND I’M GONNA CHASE IT
I’M NOT GONNA TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER
IF EVERY QUESTION CHANGES ANYWAY
AND I WON’T KEEP HOLDING ON TO MY ANGER
AND I HOPE THAT YOU CAN DO THE SAME
MAYBE FOR THE BETTER WE CAN CHANGE

I WAS DRINKING LIQUOR, SURPRISE SURPRISE
I WAS SWIMMING THROUGH ALL OF YOUR LIES
ALL I SEE IN YOUR EYES WAS THE INNOCENCE
MELTING FASTER THAN THE ICE IN MY ESPOLON
IF YOU’D ASK ME THERE WAS NEVER A DOUBT
THAT ONE DAY WE’LL BOTH BE ALL FIGURED OUT
THAT YOU WERE MEANT FOR SO MUCH MORE
THAN ANY EASY STREET AND I’M A LOW LIFE
LOSER GETTIN’ HIGH ON BEING GONE
I USED TO DRINK A LOT
I STILL DO BUT I USED TO TOO
WE USED TO LAUGH A LOT
AND WE WILL THE NEXT TIME THAT I SEE YOU
YOU WERE THE LAST OF THE EDMOND GIRLS TO LEAVE
SOMETIMES ALONE AT NIGHT I JUST DRIVE AROUND
AND AS CLICHE AS I KNOW IT PROBABLY SOUNDS
THE GREATEST THING THAT COULD EVER DO
FOR YOURSELF IS ACCEPT APOLOGIES
THAT YOU‘RE NEVER GONNA GET
AND BLAMING EVERYONE FOR EVERYTHING YOU’VE DONE
WHILE BLAMING THEM FOR HOW THEY FEEL
WON’T GET THE MOMENT BACK
MY LITTLE HEART ATTACK TOO STUBBORN TO HEAL
NEVER HAD TO LEAVE TO FIND THAT WHAT YOU NEED
WHEN ALL YOU WANTED WAS THE BREEZE

THE RATS ARE RISING OUT OF THE GUTTER
I WATCH AS MY SMOKE DISSIPATES IN THE LIGHT
SHINING LIKE THE METAL AT THE END OF THE NIGHT
PLAYS AS I DISAPPEAR IN THE NIGHT
IF YOU’RE WAITING FOR AN APOLOGY
I BET THAT YOU’LL PROBABLY BE WAITING FOR GOOD
CAUSE BUDDY I KNOW HOW TO BE A BIGGER PERSON
BUT I JUST AIN’T SO SURE THAT I SHOULD
ANYBODY CAN TELL THAT YOU’RE ACTING
PRACTICING SO HARD TO BE TOUGH
BUT WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN SOMEONE
TOUGHER THAN YOU CALLS OUT YOUR BLUFF
IT’LL NEVER BE ENOUGH
SO WHATTA YA SAY WE STOP WITH ALL THE POSTERING
IT’S ABOUT TIME WE GET OUR EGOS IN CHECK
I DON’T A SHIT HOW BIG YOUR BAND IT
I DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE CHECK
BECAUSE THERE’S A REASON WHY WE’RE DYING, TRYING
FLYING HIGHER UP AND ABOVE
WE DON’T DO IT FOR THE MONEY HONEY
NO, WE’RE ONY DOIN’ IT FOR LOVE
AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE ENOUGH
WHEN YOU‘RE WORKIN’ FOR LOVE

NAVIGATING WHAT WE SHOULD AND WE SHOULDN’T DO
GALAVANTING CAVALRY FOR A DAY OR TWO
SALIVATING STANDING OVER FORBIDDEN FRUIT
I THINK I’M LIVING THE DREAM
BECAUSE RELAXING CAN BE TAXING ON HEAVY MINDS
AND I’M NOT GONNA WASTE ANY PRECIOUS TIME
NOT BELIEVING THAT THIS MYSTERY CAN’T BE MINE
I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
THERE’S A FINE LINE BETWEEN BEING PESSIMISTIC
AND BEING POSITIVE BUT ALSO REALISTIC
THAT IF THE SUN WAS EXPLODING
I WOULD CHECK OUT THE VIEW WITH YOU
BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT WE CAN DO
SO HERE’S TO LOOKIN’ AT YOU
I USED TO STAY IN BED WITH THE TV ON
TELL THE PEOPLE THAT I LOVE THAT THERE‘S NOTHING WRONG
HIDE MY SORROW FROM THE SUNLIGHT TILL IT WAS GONE
LIKE I BELONGED IN THE DARK
AND I’M NOT GOING TO WASTE ANOTHER DAY
AND I’M NOT GOING TO CHALK THIS UP TO FATE
TO ALL THE LOSER AND THE LIARS AND RUNAWAYS
KEEP THE LOVE IN YOUR HEARTS
AND IF THE END IS ALMOST DEFINITELY CERTAIN
AND IT’S TIME FOR US TO DRAW THE FINAL CURTAIN
THEN WHY NOT SPEND EVERY MOMENT
BEING HONEST AND FREE WITH ME
YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT WE CAN DO
SO HERE’S TO LOOKING AT YOU - YEAH, YEAH, YEAH
ONE DAY SOON YOU KNOW THAT WE’LL ALL BE GONE
AND THE WORLD WILL KEEP ON TURNING LIKE NOTHING’S WRONG
AND EVEN IT WILL ONE DAY CRASH INTO BABYLON
IT’S THE COLD HARD TRUTH
MAYBE WHAT I’M SAYING IS TOO OUT OF SIGHT
AND MAYBE WE’LL RETURN IN ANOTHER LIFE
WHERE THERE WON’T BE ANY SORRY OR PAIN OR STRIFE
... GOOD LUCK WITH ALL THAT

WELL HOLD ME HEAD UNDER WATER, MAN
AS LONG AS YOU CAN, MAYBE THAT’S WHAT I NEED
DOWN HERE, DOWN IN THE GUTTER LANDS
WHERE NOTHIN’S EVERY PLANNED
I KNOW YOU DON’T NEED A MAN
MAYBE YOU NEED ME
BUT IF THE SUN DON’T SHINE
AIN’T NO BOTHER I DON’T MIND
MAYBE LIQUOR ISN’T WHAT WE NEED
AND BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS
BUT I AIN’T GOT NO TIME TO BLEED
MAYBE WE’RE JUST SHIT OUT OF LUCK
HISTORY DOESN’T ALWAYS FAVOR BOLD
AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN TOLD
BABY WHY’S MY FEET SO COLD
MAYBE IT’S BETTER WE’RE STUCK
CAUSE’ IF THE SUN DON‘T SHINE
AIN’T NO BOTHER I DON’T MIND
AND NO ONE CARES IF YOU’RE MENTALLY STABLE
THEY ONLY CARE WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE
I BRING A FUCKING CHAINSAW

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world. But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up.

Will somehow managed to make it sound like the band was playing in an empty bar. Maybe that's what they were going for? (I wouldn't be surprised)
