Hard New Pills

These are your hard new pills
Bottle says take ‘em dry
Have you had your fill?
Have you bothered to ask why
These are the hard new pills
Gotta take ‘em as prescribed
Soon as the colors started coming back
You missed the black and white
Remember those cheap thrills?
It’s time to pay full price
These are some hard new pills
You’ll be swallowing ‘em dry
I pulled up
You didn’t run
Taught me more about me than I cared to learn
“We love you"
Is it enough
To hold me up until I love myself?
Can you take me as I am
Not back to where I’ve been?
These are your hard new pills
Gotta take ‘em as prescribed
Soon as the colors started coming back
You missed the black and white
Remember those cheap thrills?
It’s time to pay full price
On your hard new pills
And you’ll be swallowing ‘em dry
Swallow ‘em dry
Sobered up
Broke a sweat
I can’t handle more regret
Spilled when I was
Stabbing wildly
These are your hard new pills
Gotta take ‘em as prescribed
Soon as the colors started coming back
You missed the black and white
Remember those cheap thrills?
Turns out you paid full price
On some hard new pills
And you’ll be swallowing ‘em dry

Maniac

Don’t hang around if you can’t take it
Don’t make me scalp my one way ticket
To hell
World’s got me wrapped in chains
Is it them or just my brain?
I can’t tell
I’m a maniac, is anyone listening?
Don’t wanna die but I can’t keep living this way
I’m not ok, so
I’m taking everyone down, everyone down with me
I’m taking everyone down, everyone down with me
I’m taking everybody, everyone, down
Why live forever when the edge is dull
Feed me lead, put one in my skull
Come on, don’t drag this on
Thirsty and dry, need a reaction
Fight for my life against my own reflection
Can’t win without losing
I’m a maniac, is anyone listening?
Don’t wanna die but I just can’t keep living this way
I’m not ok, I’m about to break, so
I’m taking everyone down, everyone down with me
I’m taking everyone down, everyone down with me
I’m taking everybody, everyone, down.

Goodbye Vancouver

Goodbye Vancouver,
The charm’s gone, we’re through here
Farewell, I’ve had my last
The wine and the whiskey
I know that they’ll miss me
I hope that you’re having a blast
Without me
We wake up with regrets
Put secrets to steel frets
Goodbye Vancouver, goodbye Vancouver
God, grant me
The serenity
To say goodbye Vancouver, goodbye
Goodbye Vancouver
Goodbye Vancouver
Goodbye Vancouver
Hey Steve, are you hanging on for hope
Or are you hanging from a rope
You tied yourself?
When it feels like no one’s there
And you wanna kick the chair
And you just can’t ask for help
Just ask me
Better to wake up with regrets
Put secrets to steel frets
Say goodbye Vancouver, goodbye Vancouver
God, grant me
The serenity
To say goodbye Vancouver, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye Vancouver
Goodbye Vancouver
Goodbye Vancouver
Hello cruel world

Song For Barker Gee

I keep expecting you in that hot-wired Mercedes
Pullin' on a handle of Jim tucked between your legs
As we tear through West Oakland
Cigarettes smokin', windows wide open
Didn’t know where we were goin'
You tore us to shreds just like your guitars
And you tore up our hearts when you ended it all
And I just wanna write that one riff
That could bring you on back
In your hot-wired Mercedes, making wise-cracks
I remember one night back east how you pulled me aside
And you stood me up straight when I was outta my mind
You looked me in the eye when I’d had too much wine
And you said something sweet and that kept me alive
Wish I could've been there, in your time of need
Looked you in the eye, and said something sweet
Like "your songs held me up when I hated my life"
Like "you called my bullshit when my head wasn’t right"
Like "you shine so bright, we all love you so much,
You mean everything to so many of us"
You tore us to shreds just like your guitars
And you tore up our hearts when you ended it all
And I just wanna write that one riff
That could bring you on back
In that busted old car, making wisecracks
Tearing through West Oakland
I wish you’d come back
I can’t say bye to you.
