Track Lyrics
Hello Shitty Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It seems that you're keeping me down
And it just seems pointless
To work this thing out and
What's holding me back?
A lifelong friendship's not worth it
I'll hide this one deep underground
[Verse 2]
Convenience can comfort you now
But the words that you said
You can never take back and
I'm warning you now
When you realize you made a mistake
I'll be sure to kick you while you're down
[Chorus]
I gave you this gift (I gave you this gift)
Now I'm here alone and I'm paying for it
Our light's almost out (Our light's almost out)
But I'll smile again the day that you figure out
I was all that you had
Tortures of the Damned Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I hate myself
More than I ever let on
I'm burned out at 22
I lived too fast and I loved too much and I'll die too young
But I chose this cup that I drank from
Knew what I was getting into
But I couldn't let out what I had to keep in
I'm ashamed of myself and unspeakable sins
That I've committed and
[Chorus]
I've made mistakes
But I'll find my way
There's no explanation for
The things I've failed at before
They can't hold my hand
It just hurts to be a man
Through the tortures of the damned
Of the damned
[Verse 2]
If I only had an axe
I'd sever the ties I've made with the world
Maybe I can be a stranger
In a strange place
If I start now, maybe I can be saved
If I only had a mask
I'd cover these bleeding eyes
They're bloodshot now but they'll be black by dawn
If I wake up now
I can be pure again
[Chorus]
I've made mistakes
But I'll find my way
There's no explanation for
The things I've failed at before
They can't hold my hand
It just hurts to be a man
Through the tortures of the damned
[Bridge]
Look at me now
I'm on the tracks with my back
Towards the last train leaving town
Look at me now
I'm on the tracks with my back
Towards the last train leaving town
Look at me now
I'm on the tracks with my back
Towards the last train leaving town
Look at me now
I'm on the tracks with my back
Towards the last train leaving town
[Chorus]
I've made mistakes
But I'll find my way
There's no explanation for
The things I've failed at before
They can't hold my hand
It just hurts to be a man
(Through the tortures of the damned)
I've made mistakes
But I'll find my way
There's no explanation for
The things I've failed at before
They can't hold my hand
It just hurts to be a man
Through the tortures of the damned
Of the damned
They Looked Like Strong Hands Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This isn't who I am
From confidence to self doubt in 60 seconds
Storming stages and stereos from here to there
Trying to prove that I belong
Trying to win approval from people that I don't know
[Chorus]
And I look so strong
When the weight of all the world
Don't take its toll
And I'd choose my sides
If I believed in what was right
But I'm all wrong
[Verse 2]
I'm not larger than life, I'm not taller than trees
Do I mean what I say, is it just this disease? Where I never go home
Never telling the truth how this life eats away
Admitting I'm fake
And I'm questioning whether this whole thing was worth it to die poor and all alone?
[Chorus]
And I look so strong
When the weight of all the world
Don't take its toll
And I'd choose my sides
If I believed in what was right
But I'm all wrong
[Bridge]
Just don't tell me this doesn't mean the world
'Cause my ears would bleed and my heart would hit the floor
[Chorus]
And I look so strong
When the weight of all the world
Don't take its toll
And I'd choose my sides
If I believed in what was right
But I'm all wrong
Montauk Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's getting cold
Thought it was too soon to tell
But it was terribly old
And as the heartbeat slows
To a heartless crawl
The lights went out
The lights went out
And darkness filled the house
On a tiring night under Long Island sky
[Chorus]
I thought I'd known the consequence
Sweetness, can you believe this?
Mess we've made of it
This mess we've made of it
In years to come, ​it might make sense
Sweetness, can you believe this?
So what's become of it? What's become of it?
[Verse 2]
If you hear this and you think you're ready
Then meet me at Montauk
Where we'll write out in the sand
"Here lies the destiny of 2 hurt souls
Afraid to be cured again."
That could be our epitaph
[Chorus]
I thought I'd known the consequence
Sweetness, can you believe this?
Mess we've made of it
This mess we've made of it
In years to come, it might make sense
Sweetness, can you believe this?
So what's become of it? What's become of it?
[Chorus]
I thought I'd known the consequence
Sweetness, can you believe this?
Mess we've made of it
This mess we've made of it
In years to come, it might make sense
Sweetness, can you believe this?
So what's become of it? What's become of it?
I know
[Chorus]
I thought I'd know the consequence
Sweetness, can you believe this?
Mess we've made of it
Mess we've made of it
In years to come, it might make sense
Sweetness, did you foresee this?
So what's become of it? Just what's become
Blame It on Bad Luck Lyrics
[Intro]
Pound my knuckles hard against the floor
My head against the wall
But I did this to myself
Assume it's just not worth getting back up
So I'll blame it on bad luck
And I'll shake responsibility, yeah
[Verse 1]
I spent some time in a bad place at 18
Wishing I could see something through clear eyes
Do you ever wake up to realize
That your life is meaningless?
Does it give you strength or lead you to
Your grave at a young age?
[Chorus]
Pound my knuckles hard against the floor
My head against the wall
But I did this to myself
Assume it's just not worth getting back up
So I'll blame it on bad luck
And I'll shake responsibility, yeah
[Verse 2]
It seems that when I ran away from my past
All my dignity, my faith, my pride got left back
And now I think it's time that I realize
Self pity's meaningless
Though I'm 10 feet deep
I'll claw my way back out from in my grave
[Chorus]
Pound my knuckles hard against the floor
My head against the wall
But I did this to myself
Assume it's just not worth getting back up
So I'll blame it on bad luck
And I'll shake responsibility
And say a hard life did this to me
[Bridge]
Now I realize, I'd give anything I have
To walk a day in my old shoes
Wondering what my first smoke would be like
My first fuck, my next fuck up
The next band that would change my life
And it changed my life
And it changed my life
[Chorus]
Pound my knuckles hard against the floor
My head against the wall
But I did this to myself
Assume it's just not worth getting back up
So I'll blame it on bad luck
And I'll shake responsibility
And say a hard life did this to me
Dear Tragedy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm never waking up again
So I'll never have to find out what you did
Each day it's harder to pretend
That your eyes aren't lying as much as your mouth did
I'd grab your head by your hair and I'd hack it off
Put it on display at the front of the yard
On a stick that's decorated with a little pink bow
And a sign that says "Her friends and family
Should have taught her more about love"
[Chorus]
Dear Tragedy, I never had anybody
But being alone wasn't half as bad as being obsessed
With a breath-taker, a smile-faker
These years alone have eaten me alive
[Verse 2]
Recounting pages in a book
That I'd torn out ashamed that one day you'd look
Afraid that once you did you'd really know how it felt
To be a sucker on a string that you dragged around wherever you'd go
I'm running around, around and it hurts
Tempted to tape up the pages I'd ripped
And although I recognize that we're attached at the lips
That you're the one in charge and that the captain's gotta sink with the ship
[Chorus]
I never had anybody
But being alone wasn't half as bad as being obsessed
With a breath-taker, a smile-faker
These years alone have eaten me alive
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Dear Tragedy, I never had anybody
But being alone wasn't half as bad as being obsessed
With a breath-taker, a smile-faker
Years alone have eaten me alive
[Bridge/Chorus]
Breath-taker, smile-faker
How could I have let you in my life?
You're a breath-taker, a smile-faker
These years alone have eaten me alive
[Elision]
I never had anybody
But being alone wasn't half as bad as being obsessed
With a breath-taker, a smile-faker
(Dear Tragedy, Dear Tragedy)
These years alone have eaten me alive
(You'll pay for what you did to me
You'll pay for you what did to me)
