Монгол 02:48
[Sung entirely in Mongolian hoomii-style throat-based singing, this song does not have lyrics per se; it is a simple ode to the great steppes of Mongolia where I hope to travel one day...]

I'm Sorry 04:29
I remember when I first saw you, you talked like no one else. I didn't give a damn what words were until I heard you speak. I remember when we first made love, I wondered what I did wrong until you lit my cigarette and we talked at three a.m. I looked at your unbuttoned shirt and your naked skin and realized everything was fine. I remember when I screamed at you and you screamed right back at me, I probably punched a wall and you were probably in tears. I'm sorry. But I'll be with you though you're long gone, to remember you I wrote this song because I loved you. Baby you know it's true. It's because I love you, baby you know I do. I can't sleep for a second anymore because my mind is corrupted and my body doesn't work. I'm a complete fucking mess. But I'll keep going no I won't stop no matter whatever happens or not, I'd kill a man to kiss you one last time. But the broken heart will always be mine. I'll be with you though you're long gone, to remember you I wrote this song because I loved you. Baby you know it's true. It's because I love you, baby you know I do.

It took me four years to write you this song but it only took one for my heart to belong! I did not know love then as I know it now, it took me four years but I figured it out! Old lovers act wrong so I gave you so more, when he came to reclaim you I showed him some more! Refrain: And now we're together for better or worse But if love's a curse, oh Lord I'll be cursed! You kiss me so crazy, you kiss me so soft Well I guess you could say we're kissing a lot! And I wouldn't trade our seconds of time for anything else in this world I could buy! Well true love isn't anything written by words so we made up our own and that word is ________ Refrain: And now we're together for better or worse But if love's a curse, oh Lord, I'll be cursed And now we're together for better or worse But if love's a curse, oh Lord, I'll be cursed The faces I see are carved into frowns but when we fell in love I carved my upside down

Well I've heard you calling, baby And I'm excited as all hell But when I finally picked up the phone You've been looking for someone else Now I know I seem a bit weird, it's hard to help myself But I'm just being who I am while you drag me straight through hell 'Cause I can't sleep! I can't smile! My clothes are in a pile! I can't get out of bed Knowing you need someone else instead [in this version the second verse is improvised, but this is the INTENDED verse] Now I seen ya again, baby, after three whole weeks Maybe four, maybe more, the truth it hurts to seek But you're looking rather well and you booked a jazzy date The expression on my face is an expression of my fate 'Cause I can't sleep! I can't smile! My clothes are in a pile! I can't get out of bed Knowing you need someone else instead YOU NEED SOMEONE INSTEAD! I can't smile, my clothes lay in a pile! YOU NEED SOMEONE INSTEAD! I can't smile, my clothes lay in a pile! YOU NEED SOMEONE INSTEAAAADDD! I can't smile, my clothes are in a pile! I NEED SOMEONE INSTEAD!

Twenty one, always stoned, wake up on my porch, it's one o'clock, where am I going? I don't know if this town - is it my home or brings me down? I'm just too stoned, again But when I play these strings it matters none And when I sit and sing it matters none When I sing to you it matters none When I sing to you it matters none Twenty-one, always stoned I'm on my ass, no chance for cash I'm on my ass again Well I don't know where we go We live we die, kiss we cry I'm just too stoned again But when I play these strings it matters none And when I sit and sing it matters none And when I sing to you it matters none When I sing to you it matters none WHOOOOAAAAAAAAAA!!! (stolen from a Confusion Bolts' song) When I play these strings it matters none! When I sit and sing it matters none! AND WHEN I SING TO YOU IT MATTERS NONE!!! WHEN I SING TO YOU IT MATTERS NONNNNE!!!!

I'm Scared 03:19
Humanity has run its course, there's nowhere left to go Our homes are filling up so fast and our spaceships move too slow I'm scared of what may lay ahead, I'm scared of what will be But I want to give out everything to my friends and family There's horror shows where people die so graphically, so wild They package limbs and skulls and bones to profit from a child I'm scared of what may lay ahead, I'm scared of what will be But I want to give out everything to my friends and family The decadence, I see it now, one hundred dollar plates We all must get our fill in time but think of what's at stake! I'm fortunate, oh so fortunate, to live this way I do So if you need a helping hand you know I'd love to share with you I'm Scared of what may lay ahead I'm scared of what will be But I want to give out everything to my friends and family I'm scared of what may lay ahead I'm scared of what will be But I want to give out all my love to my friends and family So you can write me up as a preacher, man, but the word just sounds so lame! But I'll stand atop whatever I can TO ROAR OF ALL OUR FATE!!!

Hell, I'm going straight to hell Hell, I hope those demons have got some booze to sell Well I work all day, I work all day Full time, part time, it pays my life Well I drink all day, I drink all night 'Till my stomach rolls over and I get in a fight Well I smoke all day, I smoke all night 'Till my lungs turn black and I'm high as a kite I lay all day, I lay all night 'Till my girl rolls over and goes back to her life Hell, I'm going straight to hell Hell, I hope those demons have got some booze to sell Excess is my success Oh boy, I'm doing swell! Excess is my success Oh boy, I'm going to hell Excess is my success Oh boy, I'm doing swell! Excess! Is my success! Oh Lord I'm going straight to hell! I'm going straight to hell!

Commander Clark was sent to Earth To return what he is worth Place the blame away from me, I'll show you what I want to see I fell high above the waves Acting dumb I lost my place Wasted person wasted face Growing foolish everyday Gotta keep my head up I lived in the U.S.A It was big and it's OK Went to school, I took the bus Took an hour but it was fun Listened to punk tunes all the time Blink and Sum they were my rhymes Getting pumped up every day For a life I thought I hated Gotta keep my head up I got friends that're telling me What they think that I should be Better questions and advice I ain't feeling very nice I'll yell back and maybe swear I'll yell back and maybe tear up Whatever friendship we have left But I loved those days, they were the best! Gotta keep your head up! This is a story of a man Who sacrificed his life For the cause Gotta keep your head up!!!
