People come and people go
Landlocked at home because I know
We've all seen different things
We probably shouldn't see
They'll make our good days bad
There's no gettin' away
The party's over and the house is trashed
The ghosts in the walls don't wanna go back
But people come and people go
Sprinkled with guilt because I know
We've all done different things
We probably shouldn't do
They'll make us go insane
You can blame it on me
It's a long drive home
And I'm all alone
I guess I've given up
Trying to write this song
Trying to speak my mind
Your daddy's a murderer and your mommy's a thief
When you close your eyes, you don't sleep
'Cause the air is way too thick
And the night is way too dark
Do you ever feel ripped off?
'Cause other people do
Like a dog on the loose
From her troubled youth
Run like the wind
'Cause nobody wins
I guess I've given up
'Cause nobody wins

She's on the sandy coast
Making home videos
That I won't see
She's on my mind again
Running laps around my brain
Around my brain
Was I ever young?
Or have I been this old my whole life?
I can't dream
If I don't sleep
And I don't sleep
We were all so young
But love is funny when it's true
But it's not true
Was I ever young?
Or have I been this old my whole life?

I'm sorry for the seasons
And how they all tease us
Every year
In the winter we all whine
About the sun
And how it won't shine
In the summer we all hide
From the days
Below sixty-five
Let's call it quits
Let's call it tonight
Leave a message at the tone
Let mother nature know
Even though it's tough
You love her and you'll let her go
Let's call it quits
Let's call it tonight

She looks pretty good
She looks pretty good at every angle
Red, blue, and green
Streaks are dancin' across my TV screen
'Cause she's on the runway
Past the terminal and through the gates
She's on an angle
Up to the sun and then to the Golden State
She's been packin' up
She's been packin' her bags and she's heading for the coast
She was pretty good
But now she's good enough for Hollywood
Now she's on the runway
Past the terminal and through the gates
She's on an angle
Up to the sun and then to the Golden State

All The Same

If ghosts could haunt themselves
We could stop trying to attempt to be so nice
And just be nice
And just be nice
Like kids lighting cigarettes for other kids
In their parent's backyard, staying hid
From the police man in his black Crown Vic
Bending corners looking for someone to trick
It's alright
Like a downer on the upswing
Bundled up but cold
With a immunity to die for
'Cause in the long run, we're all dead
Like liars telling lies to scammers and cheats
In some dark lit alleys of some dead streets
The politicians and the corporate elites
Shaking hands with each other on the TV screen
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's brought to you by the household name
We're selling out
And they're selling out
'Cause it's all the same
Same same same same
It's the fuckin' same
