"I've Been Up These Steps"

It was the worst time
The first time
It ever went sour
Things fell apart too soon
I was so let down
I learned then
To never go back
I've been once
Only once

Never reconnect to me
It's better done, better see, whoa
Sinking so I'll get out alive
It could be the death of me

Whoa

There's no reason to hold on
I never fall down
'Cause I never get dizzy
It might be better
Whatever
It's nothing I can't wash my hands of, anyhow

Never reconnect to me
It's better done, better see, whoa
Sinking so I'll get out alive
It could be the death of me
Whoa

It's so useless
So useless
The burn'll be there
I'm not foolin' myself
I won't regret it
Forget it
I'll never go back
I'm never comin' back
I've been held (been held)
Held down too long
It won't hold very long
I've been held (been held)
Held down too long

It's nothing that I can't escape

Never reconnect to me
It's better done, better see, whoa
Sinking so I'll get out alive
It could be the death of me
Whoa

It was the worst time
The first time
It ever went sour
I've been once
Only once

Never reconnect to me, whoa
It's better done, better see, whoa
Sinking so I'll get out alive, whoa
It could be the death of me
Whoa

Never reconnect to me, oh
Better done, better see, oh
Never reconnect for me, oh
It could be the death of me

"Oh! Ellin"

oh! Ellin what can i do? there is nothing
aside from you. i hate to say i'm starting
again to try to get you off of my mind i must
admit it's so hard to do oh Ellin! with no you
by my side i have the chance to land on my
own two feet and keep my chin off the
ground but now you're gone i bet myself up
about it, it sucks without you around, it
sucks when you're not around. oh! Ellin what
can i do? there isnothing aside from you. oh!
Ellin what can i lose? there's nothing aside
from you. i trace your steps but i get lost i
bet i'ts what you had in mind and can't you
see that all is not well oh! Ellin not since you
left me behind. i waste away it's miserable
here it's stupid to even try to pretend
because when you slip my mind i start to
panic, i'm scare to lose you again, i'm scared
i'll lose you again.

"I Cut Myself, Too"

are you holding out? are you
satisfied i'm making confessions
i'm moving on and you're just
waiting around, while you were
down and looking for someone
to foll,ow misunderstood i
understood you well. if it helps to
ease your mind you're not putting
me out tonite. don't you think
you need some time? i'm not
putting you in tonight. and it
helps to know, to know you're
not alone, you're not fucked up,
just waiting, patient waiting for
the call and just like you now and
then i cut myself to pieces and it
rains, it pours but it doesn't make
any sense, now you're crushing
like cement 'til you find your
perfect fit to stand out from the
rest to shine on you the best.
well we all down is it better
now or are you still broken?
i'm moving on and you're still
waiting around.

"Fed Up"

With tunnel vision on you are the only one all made up stare straight up and walk straight into a wall see this is all your fault you take more than you can hold you want this one you wont give up you'll suck it through a straw 'til you're full, 'til you're full. it's true that you would be fed up with you if you knew what you are. 'til you're full of yourself it's true that you would be fed up with you if you knew what you are. it's different than before you dont listen anymore you're impatient, you're inflated and i know that you wont stop 'til you're full.

"Ming Tran"

flat on my face, i see what it takes
to cut through the bullshit. to cut to the chase.
and when i get up, i won't forget
the place that you left me. the place that you left.

better run away. run away.
'cause you know i can't wait for the next time.
you better run away. run away.
for nothing's gonna save you the next time.

and when i catch up, it will be great.
i'll set a trap for you. i just can't wait.
one of these days, one of these days

my friend ming tran'll kick you right in the face.

better run away. run away.
'cause you know i can't wait for the next time.
you better run away. run away.
for nothing's gonna save you the next time.

better run away. (run away) run away.
'cause you know i can't wait for the next time.
you better run away. (run away) run away.
for nothing's gonna save you the next time.

one of these days, i'll get my revenge.
my friend ming tran'll kick you right in the face.

"When Life Gets Boring..."

she creeps into my head so many mornings
what am I supposed to do when life gets
boring? This fixation with her it goes much
deeper than just a photograph wish I could
keep her can’t get her off my mind,
happens all the time, I’m tearing every-
thing down oh I should have known
better. I watch her shop for clothes, true
value vintage, stare from across the room,
she makers her purchase the wheel inside
my head has started rolling, it’s going to
Take me away oh I should have known
better. I’ll keep my distance I’m better off
putting this behind me I’m overdrawn,
i withdrew, I’m down and out and thanks
to you.

"Give Up The Grudge"

Don't make me listen to the stupid broken record again
The needle's skippin' and repeatin' never reaching the end
You know you're bitching and complaining like you've got it so tough
We're sick of all your crying will you ever shut up?

So keep bleeding your fake blood 'till no one ever sees it
If that's the best you can make up at least act like you mean it

[Chorus]
Give up the grudge
[Clean:] Better shut your mouth
[Explicit:] Shut your fucking mouth
why you gotta judge everybody but yourself
Take a look around you
There ain't nobody home
I may be a loser
