How many miles will we drive
To get to this place where the memories begin
As your dollars fade away
It's time to commit, make sure all your chips are in
This life is not for everybody
This life is for me, and us, and all my friends in between
I don't feel like I got any older
but these bones will tell a different story
Remember when we used to feel so high
Those late nights, well they were ours
Drinks in hand and friends by side
We were kings of the dirty North

Moderation always seems to escape me
Go big or go home, it's just the way it's always been
I can't remember what happened last night
But I'm told it went well
It was all downhill from the last shotgun/shot down
But I'm told it went well

Crossing oceans, we never saw this coming
How different life could be on the moon
Distant cultures, discover and adapting
To love and hate this new life all the same
Looking back, we forgot our life preservers
I'll stay afloat by hanging on to you
Out of breath and lost as hell with you
Drinking to frustrations for two
Thoughts of the home that we once knew
If I drink until my whole body aches
Maybe my home will seem less far away

To Your Health

I'm not pulling my weight
Trying hard or hardly trying
Hard to tell anymore
Maybe I'm beyond frustrated
I barely get off the floor
Dragging my feet to meet brick walls
Circular motion, circular progress
Positive efforts meant positively nothing
Always end up where I started
Perpetually broken, inevitably stunted
Stuck with the fact that my vessel is garbage
Unreliable, constant betrayals
Letting me down with every mechanical failure

Equal Signs

You got some nerve
Thinking that you get a say
When it's none of your concern
Says a lot about you
That it irks you this bad
Bigots who get off opposing happiness
Have a heart
Think about your sons and daughters
That would be a start
Just because you don't understand
Doesn't mean that it's wrong
Everybody deserves a chance to love
Save your labels for somebody else
Save your labels for yourself

Game Over, Man
01:36

You're cashing out
Right when I put coins back in the machine
Extra lives make way for life priorities
And I thought that we were warming up, warming up
I guess you've had enough
And I thought that we were warming up, warming up
This dream
It's time for a solo play
But I'll keep second player ready anyway
For a chance you'll come around next level up

I'm Never Drinking Again
04:50

Thoughts are pounding
As I piece together last night
Will you comfort me
Tell me I was alright
We all know that it's a lie
Cause as the whiskey got me going
And I turned from normal guy
To no Jekyll and all Hyde
How'd those 3 beers turn to 10
Tequila lined up, not again
Invincible and unaware
Inconsequential and impaired
Been down this road so many times
Feeling great at least tonight
Today's highs, tomorrow's lows
Today's highs, tomorrow's lows
Call me disaster
You'd think that I'd learn my lesson
Best intentions escape me
But it's 10am so I do declare
That I'll never drink again
Now how did that beer get in my hand
Sorry I pissed in the back bedroom
Ripped the mailbox off the wall yet again
Had choice words with your best friend
No, no we're not afraid
To admit and accept the blame
Though, we can't say we're done
Cause sobriety just wouldn't be the same

The Long Ride Home
06:31
|
|||
|
These bright lights mesmerize
My eyes drift though my ears have never been more awake
The inconvenience has become routine
The give and take
Rousing nights and sleepless days
Lets burn this match at both ends
Exhaustion can wait
Sedentary is for those already dead
This night and I have an understanding
The sacrifice for a greater purpose
Create and share, not sit and stare, not sit and stare

It's hard to see the future
When you're terrified of the past
Moving forward always seems to
Bring about a relapse
Views out dirty windows
Tire these anxious eyes
Jealousy, it grows outstanding
As others soak in the sunshine
If I could take just three steps that way
I could see it all
But this damn door weighs 15,000 lbs
I'm stuck here for right now
Watching my life go by
As if I
Could move
Forward
Forward

Months of fear
Dreading mortality
But it's necessary, so they say
Slice the heart, the only way
Think about my daughter, think about my wife
My nervous father can't help this time
A final slumber
A chest cracked wide, a family cries
I felt fine until you told me that I was broken
No sleep tonight
I'm not ready, how could I be ready
No sleep tonight
It's time (I'm not ready) it's time (I'll never be ready)

Libations

At some point we call it quits, right?
It's been a wild ride
Full of headaches and heartbreaks
But this liver has a best by date
It hasn't appreciated these damn 3 to 8's
I guess there's always tomorrow
For finally turning over some new leafs
But as long as these depressants don't get depressing
Rain checks on resolutions are always in order

It's a departure from their previous work, with many songs actually "slower" than earlier records, but still bringing the same energy and feeling.
