I’m waiting for someone to tell me "Do what is best for you" So I can use it as an out So I can blame someone else And I know that I should not be so concerned with how the future plays out All that matters is now All that matters is how We deal with falling flat on our faces And how we stay positive in all the same places When we close our eyes and the inside of our minds Is a world more dystopian than all the novels on our bookshelves combined Goddamnit, this has to be it, the last time I lose a bet with myself Goddamnit, this has to be last time I break a promise To drag myself out of hell Goddamnit I just needed to hear from someone else That I’m not all I thought I was Or even on the right track Another anxiety attack I thought I’d glide through life gracefully I thought where I was was still the place to be Thought I was paying dues, but I was paying late fees And now you’re waiting on me Goddamnit, this has to be it, the last time I lose a bet with myself Goddamnit, this has to be last drive away from you Back to hell I drive up to you every Friday night after a week of feeling dead All that comes down on Sunday night are the shreds I drive up to you every Friday night feeling hopeful and whole again All that comes down on Sunday night are the shreds I drive fast when I know you’re waiting I drive dangerously just to get away You get mad when I keep you waiting I’ve come dangerously close to death I’ve come dangerously close to dying

Old man in a shitty band Luring teenage girls into a cargo van You make me want to get a job Trust fund crust punks with credit cards For chopping lines and filling shopping carts You make me want to get a job Over-the-counter culture You purchased at the altar Of our punk forefathers And most of them were assholes too You are a caricature Of a cartoon character You are not Joe Strummer You're a bad actor in a sad costume And your scene will be over soon Anarchists with rich parents If that's punk rock I pledge allegiance to the Bank of America Circle pits full of hypocrites If that's punk rock I pledge allegiance to the Bank of America And you're a PG-13 GG Allin Shane McGowan minus talent And you make me want to get a job

Tell me your darkest secret And I swear to keep it In the back of my mind Just in case I need it To ruin your life when you try to leave mine And you will when you finally realize that I am a fraud I am a fraud I am nothing like you thought I am a fraud And when you get home I'll be gone Tell me your deepest fear And I'll draw your near And whisper veiled threats in your ear It's clear you can't see through the tears And the smoke and the mirrors When you need me the most I'm not here I'm a fraud I am a fraud I am nothing like you thought I am a fraud And when you wake up I'll be gone 'Cause you're mine, any time And I'm yours, when I'm bored The man you fell in love with disappeared And I'm a suspect Leaving town before I'm found 'Cause I'm a fraud And my conscience is unconscious In the trunk with my moral compass Headed south from here on out 'Cause I'm a fraud I'm a fraud I'm a fraud And when you get home I'll be gone

Apartment 02:31
When I listen to my heart I hear nothing But the cold scrape of steel on steel And the slow crawl of bad blood pumping To phantom limbs I could swear I still feel 'Cause I followed my dreams into darkness And woke up feeling like I'd been drugged And I reached down deep for the strength to go on And then realized I had been mugged So now I'm resigned to regret and resentment Repressed and predestined to fuck up again But I don't wanna die alone in an apartment Undiscovered 'til they come looking for my rent Call the cops, change the locks and sell all my shit Repaint the walls and roll me up with the carpet And I once was the life of the party Now I just wanna be left alone 'Cause there's nothing on Earth that sickens me worse Than the sound of a ringing phone And I trusted my gut and got gutted And left in a gutter to die When I looked up to God for the strength to get up I got nothing but empty sky Now I got no capacity for empathy My heart bleeds for no one but me But I don't wanna die alone in an apartment Undiscovered 'til they come looking for my rent Call the cops, change the locks and sell all my shit Repaint the walls and roll me up with the carpet And if I never said everything I wish I'd never said You wouldn't even recognize my voice But I fully intend to never hurt you again Pretend I even have a choice You gotta understand I will never be a man But I'm doing almost the best I can When I feel up to it 'Cause I don't wanna die alone in an apartment Undiscovered 'til they come looking for my rent Call the cops, change the locks and sell all my shit Repaint the walls and roll me up with the carpet I don't wanna die alone in an apartment Undiscovered 'til they come looking for my rent Call the cops, change the locks and sell all my shit Repaint the walls and roll me up with the carpet Repaint the walls and roll me up with the carpet Repaint the walls and roll me up with the carpet Repaint the walls and roll me up with the carpet

about

Dear friends, here are four songs that almost made it onto our 2014 global smash "The Shreds" but were left off either because they didn't totally work within the context of the whole album and threatened to diminish what was otherwise an indisputable masterwork... or we just didn't finish writing them in time. "Drive Dangerously" and "Bank of America" fall into the latter category and until now have never been heard by human ears (except for ours). "Sleeping With the Enemy 2: Still Sleepin'" and "Apartment" may be familiar to some of you since those are the tracks we sent out to all the kind souls who kicked us a few coins for a download of "The Shreds." Those two songs have also been available for a while on Spotify, but now, for the first time ever, anyone can download and own these classics. We hope you and your family cherish every moment with them.
