Wantonly-
(Lyrics by: Jack Endino)
I don’t care what you think of me
It’s not my job to make you see
Coming too late to the table
The players are packed up and gone
I’m not an action figure
Won’t let you pull the trigger
But I’m amazed I’m still breathing
When so many friends are now gone
Try not to make the same mistakes
Not tempting fate, no time to waste
Guess I’ve been lucky so far
I can’t let it go to my head
Between the seen and the unseen
For my demise, the light is green
They ruined all of my plans
But I’ll do the best that I can
No one asked me what I think
If I could drink, I’d have a drink
See through a brick wall in time
I’m watching the whole thing unwind
I’m not an action figure
Hope you won’t pull the trigger
But I’m amazed I’m still breathing
When so many friends are now gone

Toast the Sun-
(Lyrics by: Jack Endino)
Let’s have a drink and toast the sun
Stand and salute the great beyond
Never believe that hope is done
So let’s have a drink and toast the sun
Let’s have a drink and toast the sun
Let’s have a drink and toast the sky
While there’s still time, we have to try
Love all we can before we die
So let’s have a drink and toast the sky
Let’s have a drink and toast the sky
Let’s have a drink and toast the sun
Stand and salute the great beyond
Never believe that hope is done
So let’s have a drink and toast the sun
Let’s have a drink and toast the sun

Shadow World-
(Lyrics by: Jack Endino)
I know I’m gonna go, fall into the shadow world
You know you can’t predict the future
Could be tomorrow night, could be thirty years or so
One thing I can’t get back is time
I wonder what it’s like, dreaming in the shadow world
I wonder what I’m gonna find there
Already half way there, one foot in, one foot out
One thing I can’t get back is time
Living in the shadow world
Already half way there, one foot in, one foot out
Not really sure where I belong
Could be tomorrow night, could be thirty years or so
One thing I can’t get back is time
Dreaming in the shadow world
Already half way there, one foot in, one foot out
Already half way there, one foot in, one foot out
Already half way there, one foot in, one foot out
One thing I can’t get back is time

Been Here Before-
(Lyrics by: Jack Endino)
They say they understand
But I know what they plan
They wanna shake my hand
But it’s a lie, I feel like I’ve been here before
They're wasting my time, I know that I’ve been here before
They’ll ruin my life, it seems that I’ve been here before
They wanna be my friend
Until the very end
They say they'll lend a hand
But it's a lie, I feel like I’ve been here before
I cannot believe, I know that I’ve been here before
Are they saving my life, or twisting the knife?
They wanna be my friend
They wanna lend a hand
But it’s a lie
I just don’t believe, because I know I’ve been here before
They act so polite, they don’t know that I’m keeping score
I see through their game, because I know I've been here before

Save My Darkest Side-
(Lyrics by: Jack Endino)
It’s not easy
The illusion is for free
It won’t help me now
Now
Moving me sideways but looking backwards
I'm staying in one place
One place
One place
One place
Save my darkest side
I keep it down inside
Save my darkest side
Let down my guard
'Cause it’s the last train out
If I cared about one thing
One thing
You can spin me round
I'll bounce right back again
As if I still believe
Believe
Believe
Believe
Take my breath away
I need a place to stay
Take my breath away
Not waiting to be free
Save my darkest side
I keep it down inside
Save my darkest side

Behind the Sunset-
(Lyrics by: Jack Endino)
Look behind the sun
Is the answer there
Trying to decode
Do I really care?
All I hear from you
Is your words decay
Walk before I crawl
Turn my life away
Stand clear, I'm trying to see
Behind the sunset it's waiting for me
Stand clear, I'm trying to see
Behind the sunset it's waiting for me
Stand clear, I'm trying to see
Behind the sun
Waiting for a sign
Is the answer there
Terminal decline
Ghost with flowing hair
All I hear from you
Is your words decay
Water cool and clear
Wash my life away
Stand clear, I'm trying to see
Behind the sunset it's waiting for me
Stand clear, I'm trying to see
Behind the sunset it's waiting for me
Stand clear, I'm trying to see
Behind the sun
Time is running fast
Wish that I could stay
They took my idea
Now they have to pay
Now they have to pay
Stand clear, I'm trying to see
Behind the sunset it's waiting for me
Stand clear, I'm trying to see
Behind the sunset it's waiting for me
Stand clear, I'm trying to see
Behind the sunset it's waiting for me
Stand clear, I'm trying to see
Behind the sun

Welcome Back-
(Lyrics by: Jack Endino)
You did what you wanted to, went quite insane
Now you’ve come back for the cure
That feeling inside you just won’t go away
What’s wrong or right you’re not sure
The world around you was black, now it’s white
Inside you’re totally gray
If you are the answer, then I am the question
There’s just no way to be sure
So pin back your eyeballs and take a hard look
You’ll find my intentions are pure
The world around you was black, now it’s white
Inside you’re totally gray
Welcome back
I’d just like to say – Welcome back
You’re looking so pale – Welcome back
The checks in the mail
Miss you tomorrow, I’ll miss you today
But everything finds its own time, its own way
I can see by your eyes, you probably won’t stay past this song
You did what you wanted to, went quite insane
Now you’ve come back for the cure
That feeling inside you just won’t go away
What’s wrong or right you’re not sure
The world around you was black, now it’s white
Inside you’re totally gray
Welcome back
I’d just like to say – Welcome back
You’re looking so pale – Welcome back
The checks in the mail
Welcome back
I’d just like to say – Welcome back
You’re looking so pale – Welcome back
The checks in the mail

Set Myself on Fire-
(Lyrics by: Jack Endino)
I'm gonna set myself on fire
But that won’t satisfy you
It won't make any difference
You don’t believe what I say
You just keep on going your way
So I’m gonna set myself on fire
No matter what I say
You're turning it sideways
I asked for Vaseline
You gave me gasoline
I'm gonna set myself on fire
But that won't satisfy you
It won’t make any difference
I can't believe what I see
You’ve raised the devil in me
So I'm gonna set myself on fire
Give me a match
I've got an itch I must scratch
I asked for Vaseline
You gave me gasoline
Give me a match
I've got an itch I must scratch
I asked for Vaseline
She gave me gasoline
I'm gonna set myself on fire

Something for Nothing-
(Lyrics by: Dan Matthews)
It feels like we’re walking in circles
Everyone’s repeating the same mistakes
And nothing will ever get better
If no one will change
Enough is enough!
Been feeling so tired and fed up
It feels like there’s nothing I can do or say
To make people care more instead of
What they can take
Enough is enough!
I’m coming undone!
When push comes to shove
You need to stand up
No one gets something for nothing
And if you’re not careful they’ll take it away
But nothing ever really matters
If no one will change
Enough is enough!
I’m coming undone!
When push comes to shove
You need to stand up

Stem the Decline-
(Lyrics by: Jack Endino)
Looking out at the stars tonight
I think you may, do you think I might?
What you're thinking still baffles me
Start the engine but I've lost the key
Sure I felt the same back when
Here before, but I lost it then
Learned my lesson, it’s by design
There’s still time to try to stem the decline
Try to stem the Decline
Thanks for asking
One more time let it start again
Ends the same, then I won't pretend
If you're the answer, give me a sign
We've got time to try to stem the Decline
Try to stem the Decline
Thanks for asking
There’s still time
To try to stem the Decline
Thanks for asking
We've got time
To try to stem the Decline
You're not helping

Cocaine Roommate-
(Lyrics by: Jack Endino)
Where you gonna go
Who you gonna see
What you gonna do
Where you gonna go
When you coming back
Who you gonna bring
Cocaine roommate
Where you gonna go
Who you gonna see
What you gonna do
Where you gonna go
When you coming back
Who you gonna bring
Cocaine roommate
Where you going
Don’t bring anybody back
Cocaine roommate
