We were the stoopyds, we still play punk music And we don't care if you like us or not Cause this is what we like, this is our lives, we will play this until we rot S-T-double Oh P-Y-D-S We are a punk band we like to use our hands, even though our lady friends don't understand Cause we are just men in a punk rock band and we like porn with lesbians

I just want this to pass, I knew we wouldn't last I just want to feel better and I hate the way I'm acting But there is nothing I can do, everything reminds me of you Every song and every show, every movie that I own Just leave me alone, I though you said goodbye but you still bring tears to my eyes, whoa oh oh Why don't you just go, quit living in my memory, even though you're gone you're hurting me When will this all end, I don't want to be your friend cause you don't want to be mine, you never did When will this pain go away, the medicine has your name but the label says you don't want to see me again And when I fall asleep, everything is fine, you're holding my hand and smiling like you're mine but then I wake up and you're gone So far away, now there is no better days coming my way because you're gone.

It's not fair how you treat me when you are with all of your friends You act as if I'm not one of them Sometimes I miss the way things once were, we were the best of friends Why did our friendship have to end

I don't wanna go (4X) I'm not a pyro and guess what hell has fire Satan sells evil and I won't be a buyer I don't want his temptation so you can go to hell Satan

Punk rock girls (Punk rock girls) (4X) Punk rock girls are really neat some are even really sweet Punk rock girls are really cool, I think punk rock girls rule Punk rock girls don't follow trends and some are even lesbians Punk rock girls like awesome bands, punk rock girls wear chucks and vans

Shark 01:00
You're the last person this should happen to, three choices and it's up to you, hit and run but you were only hit, fifteen years and what do you get? A shark in search of its prey, out of nowhere he showed today Revealed to you his master plan so raise your glass and toast that man

Decaying 01:10
I'm decaying, I'm starting to rot My brain is melting, my nerves are shot My mistakes are breaking my heart Lack of control is tearing me apart How did I become so weak? Hints of sadness when I speak Constant failure, my ship has sprung a leak My hands drying out, my skin is cracked Severed vocal chords, a broken back Setting aside whats most important Scared to death that I'm a hypocrite Once again please forgive me, I'm begging on my hands and knees It's obvious I'm decaying, I'm decaying

Reanimate 04:30
I'm sitting in the darkness of this room, I'm scared to think of you The memories that flood my mind, I'll never leave behind, not tonight I'm staring out my window now, reflections of your ghost You're staring back at me, this is all I see, you're haunting me I'm starting to hate you and all you put me through I'm not sorry that I don't miss you anymore Monsters under my bed, in the closet or maybe just in my head? Cursing the moonlit night I'm afraid to close my eyes, another part of me dies every night Crying, I keep on trying, I keep on lying to myself I'm so weak I'll give up, this time I've had enough Lets pretend that I'm not here, this time I'm going to disappear

Failsafe 02:55
Everything we do is just a trend, none of it will matter in the end Our smiles are cliche, paper mache, eventually our happiness will fade away I'm a pessimist, I'm wounded and can't be fixed. So much for optimism, I am the failsafe for this system Take me away, I am a waste of space Throw in the towel, nobody cares anyway I need to get away from everything Loneliness is ripping out my throat, in my own blood I will soak Hope is being washed down the drain, I know better but I can't refrain You will never understand, all alone I will stand I'm past the point of giving up, finally I've had enough

Paris Hilton 01:49
GO I'm the one in the back of the class, you're probably going to kick my ass I don't play sports, I don't lift weights, I don't have a girl so I masturbate I can't afford to buy my lunch, my parents just don't make as much as your mommy and daddy do I guess I'm not as cool as you Everyone is laughing but I'm not laughing at all, no one will help me up every time that I fall Yes I wear glasses, I'm fat and I get good grades, apparently that prevents me from getting laid, nobody understands me and I can't explain, yes that's me getting my ass kicked in the rain GO I don't wear your trendy clothes, I don't sleep around with dirty hoes I don't have money to spend, I don't have a car or lots of friends So beat me up all you want, I'm happy with what I got Someday the tables will turn, have fun in hell where you will burn To hell with you jocks, to hell with you preppies, to hell with snobs who brag about your money, to hell with you bitches and the small clothes you fit in, to hell with you assholes and Paris Hilton

The sky is blue, the sun is out, they say this is what life's about but I beg to differ and disagree I really hate this time of year, let me make myself clear, keep this season away from me I hate summer (4x) Because it reminds me of you Its just way too hot outside, I'd much rather just stay inside and watch bad horror movies All I ever do is sweat, humidity makes me upset, keep this season away from me

If I could I would disappear, would it really matter anyway? I know I'm nothing and I've learned to be okay Maybe I even enjoy it, maybe I hate it so much that I learn to love it This feelings been with me my entire life, cheer ups all I get You don't understand and I don't care, I never expected you to No I won't try to explain it's useless, believe it's nothing new Don't ask me whats wrong that just makes everything worse I'm superstitious but I have embraced this curse Do I believe in change? Yes but it's so much work just to feel the same And I don't care anymore, I'm so used to all this pain, just forget my name This room is so dark but that's what I prefer This is where I belong, hidden from the world

What's up dad? You have always been there, somehow you always have time to spare, you make me laugh when everything seems bad so here to you and I will thank you dad I always know when and where to find you, if I need something you will always follow through. You're the best no one can compare to you, I love you more with everything that you do Cause you are my role model, within you I see me You taught me to be strong and you taught me how to be Thank you dad for everything When things get hard I know that you will make me smile, all I have to do is see you for awhile, everything will then be okay, I love you dad and here is what I want to say.. You are my father, you're one in a million, nobody can compare You are the greatest, you make everything better, don't know how you do it but you do And when things get harder, you make it easier, I love you dad
