WAR TAPES EP LYRICS

MIND IS UGLY

Everything's my fault
Everything at all
Tonight I'm giving up
Tonight I'm losing control

I want to start a fight
With someone close to me
Burn down every bridge
And get lost in the regret

I never wanted you to know
I never wanted you to see me this way
I'm not the man you think I am
and when I think, My Mind is Ugly

My time is running out
My youths depleting
With every smoke I smoke
and Every drink I drink

I could try to sound tough
I could try to sound wise
But words don't mean a thing
When you're not listening

I never wanted you to know
I never wanted you to see me this way
I'm not the man you think I am
and when I think, My Mind is Ugly

I never wanted you to know me.

My Mind is Ugly. My Mind is Ugly. My Mind is Ugly.

DREAMING OF YOU

I've seen this all before
from the backseat of my life
On a run-down suburban road
that winds and winds, but you never seem to find anything

I saw you in a dream
a dream, that always seems to be real
But the truth is you're nowhere near
and i don't care
I'll just sleep my life away (while dreaming of you)

And in a different time and place
in a house i've never lived
I hear you knocking at my door
so hard i try, but you never want to come inside

I saw you in a dream
a dream, that always seems to be real
But the truth is you're nowhere near
and i don't care
I'll just sleep my life away (while dreaming of you)

I hear you knocking at my door..
I hear you knocking at my door..

And when I wake, you're nowhere near
And When I wake, I'm all alone

I saw you in a dream
a dream, that always seems to be real
But the truth is you're nowhere near
and i don't care
I'll just sleep my life away (while dreaming of you)

SHE LIED

Time will tell and so will those little things
you keep tucked in your head
Because I wasn't born with enough of an innocence
to keep coming back for more

She must of lied to you
Before I had her
She must of lied to you
Before I had..

All day long I sit and communicate with the dead
Corpse that I call my girlfriend
And she's only half of the girl that I met
see it takes true love to watch her decay

She must of lied to you
Before I had her
She must of lied to you
Before I had the time to sit and think about those little things
that creep inside and tear me apart

AHH! I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt you.
But I'm going down that road alone, and I'm never coming back.

All day long I sit and communicate with the dead
Corpse that I call my girlfriend

She must of lied to you
Before I had her
She must of lied to you
Before I had HER.

Her.. Her.. Her.. Her..
Heart. Her Heart. Her Heart..

START AGAIN

Seven lies and I've had it with this game
I want to start again
and the world drapes it's arms around my neck
I want to start again, start again

And the lovers and the fighters take their swings at me
I'm reaching out once again
to a world that left in silence

If I could go back
to the way things were
or at least to the way you were

Let me start again, my friend

Tell me it's off
I'm dancing in fire that you took from
the loneliest flame.

If I could go back
to the way things were
or at least to the way you were

Let me start again
I want to start again, my friend



THE MUTINY

The evening gown is on the elegant ground
as she crawls thru champagne
teenage dreams go wait in limousines
suppress the appetite

The tempo hangs we watch the world decay
on the darkest side of the purest high
the oceanside is where you wanted to hide
well I found you

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
there's a mutiny

The cheap perfume spills on designer's shoes
in a pool of waisted hormones
the weak routine that killed the drama queen
in a suicide of the wondering eye

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
there's a mutiny (inside of me)
there's a mutiny (inside of me)
