Abandoned Pools - The Remedy

I could use
A shot
Your novacaine
My soul's a fuse
Blows away your name

Then you can be the remedy
And I can be the enemy
And he can go and live as nothing
They you can be the wanna be
And I can be the remedy
And he can go to hell for all I care

Say this world is not so shallow
When you can't beg steal or borrow
Save your breath your soul is hollow
And it's all too much to swallow

Take this souvenir
They can't deny you were here
This scar always there
To medicate your fear

Abandoned Pools - Legionnaire

Honey I know we've seen bad weather
But what've we lost that's not already gone?
I'm a legionnaire of forces
Climb the walls and burn it down

Fall like dominos

I'm a legionnaire of forces now
(Keep it down now)
So meet me in the wilderness
I'm always on your side
To be with you

Honey I know we've seen bad weather
But what do you know?
It's already gone
We'll watch that empire fall to pieces
A paper tiger ringleader

Fall like dominos

I'm a legionnaire of forces now
(Keep it down now)
So meet me in the wilderness
You and I were made for something more
(Keep it down now)
So cast a light and clear me out
I'm always on your side
To be with you

Abandoned Pools - Seed

Hey, you know I really liked your show
And hey, I know a place where we could go
And you don't have to do this if it's all you want is love
But hey, I know you really wanna go

How you wanna do this baby?
How you wanna go?
Fill up my emptiness it's you I wanna know
He's just a boy with a nasty seed to sew

There's no more grace to fall from
There's no where left to go but down

Abandoned Pools - Start Over

What a mess our lives turned out to be
It was at its best when you and I were only 3
We can start with all the things that turn us out
And we can go right down the list and throw them out

Can we start over?
It's over

Here you are and there's where you wanna be
But don't think you don't have company
Think of all the lonely people in the world
And if it's God who made us why we so damn cruel

We can never lie
And you can never steal the time
And we can only watch them die
And we can never find out why

Abandoned Pools - Suburban Muse

Blue sky us holding down
There's no why
Only the sound of happy TV land
Cue the canned applause

Sidewalk fall through the cracks to China
Never get back
I'm nothing in these blues and laceless Velcro shoes

There used to be a reason why
We wrote the words across the sky
You and I will never die without a fight
My suburban muse

Green grass towering high
This white house, in it we'll die
A thousand tiny lies take the place of you
I've seen it too
In all the things you do
It lives inside of you
A parasite or two

I'm the king of ordinary things
They're killing me from inside out
I'll give it away

Between the cars on dusty streets
The cul de sac is where we meet
I crunch the leaves beneath my feet and curse this town
My suburban muse

Abandoned Pools - Ruin Your Life

Time to give it up
No one needs this any day
Your life's a half-filled cup
You'd never drink from anyway
Well I say

And if you want me to, I'd love to ruin your life
There's nothing else to do
Start a new
Ruin your life

Time to light the fuse
And watch your whole world come undone
Chaos soon ensues
Blow it all to kingdom come
Nice one

Say goodbye
Day after day you never ever crack a smile
You know it's easier to die
It's up to you

Abandoned Pools - Never

Well we never made it through another day
And it's all because you had to have it your way

So lucky you
I wonderin' when I'll be OK
If it's never than it's never

Well your mind is there but your heart is out to lunch
And it's all because your philosophy's just a hunch

T.V. time's over
Father's order

Abandoned Pools - Monster

Everyone's a genius
Brushing up on irony
But no, no one's free

Everyone's a salesman
Gushing with sincerity
Or so, so it seems

I wanna go another round
I wanna blow the monster down
I wanna go another round
Cos I am coming up
I am coming back

Everyone's a rockstar
Look how cool and dark you are
Oh, what's become of me now?

We'll bust out the mission
We'll bust the holier than thee
OK Then we'll be free

I wanna go another round
I wanna blow the monster down
I wanna go another round
Cos I am coming up
I am coming back

Lay me on the table operate on me
Spin me like a record scratch the needle back and forth

I wanna go another round
I wanna blow the monster down
I wanna go another round
Cos I am coming up
I am coming back

Abandoned Pools - Mercy Kiss

I'm outta sight around the moon
But I'll be back in time for you
I know it's strange but are you big enough?

Ok, you know this isn't right
I'm the bark that's to your bite
But I can't wait till you see the light

So I, I do it all for you
But I'm not asking for

You lead me on
I don't need your mercy kiss

I'm in and out of astral planes
The sliding doors I break the panes
I know it's strange so are you brave enough

Alright, like a quarterback I score
I'm the one they all adore
But I can't find what I'm looking for

I don't need your
I don't need it
I don't need your mercy kiss

Abandoned Pools - L.V.B.D.

Welcome to the world
My little virgin baby doll
Can you save me?
I set you off
With the tip of my tongue
Spinning
Never coming back

I wanna dig for gold
Wear the crown of forever lost souls

I'll be nothing
Forever

Jill went up the hill
And gave herself the will
To kill her fear
Now she's unstoppable
Indestructable
The incorruptible
Forever lost soul

Just a mercy kiss
Born of emptiness
I'm so sick of this
And your fakin'...

Abandoned Pools - Flouresein

Wipe away the summer air
You don't wanna see
That's you in that Photograph from 1973
And you don't even know me

God only Knows I wanna be
The other side of misery
Gimme a plate of Fluorescein
I'm gonna paint an ugly scene
All of the things I wanna say
Can't get a word out anyway
Falling away after today
Nothing to lose so come what may

Don't wake me

You got away from me somehow
And all we tried to be
Everything is different now
The mind's eye fails to see
And all we know is TV

Abandoned Pools - Sooner Or Later

Well sooner
or later
It's all coming down
I float
down a river
Above my own town
I will fight fire with fire
I will take an eye for every eye
I've got my finger on the trigger
I've got you in my sight

Well sooner
or later
It's all coming down
And high
above the city
I ride the wave down

And you won't be stopped till you crush me
And you won't be stopped till you kill us all
But I've got the ultimate weapon
I'm sick of dangling question marks

Well I've got my ducks in a row
Got my head on straight
Cause I know what's love
When the universe breaks my heart
Sooner or later it all comes out in the end
For now hell is all the people
cause the devil said so

Well I've got my ducks in a row
Got my head on straight
Cause I know what's love
When the universe breaks my heart
Sooner or later it all comes out in the end
For now hell is all the people
cause the devil said so

Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
It's all coming down

I will fight fire with fire
I will take an eye for every eye
I've got my finger on the trigger
I've got you in my sights

Abandoned Pools - The Catalyst

I am on your side
You light me up inside
You fill my eyes with stars
It doesn't get me very far

Just look around
You don't need no fairy tale
To get you by
Just look around
You don't need no Santa Claus
You don't need to make things up

But if there's something more than this
I'll meet you sucked inside a kiss
And if there's something more to this
Then I will be the catalyst
I wish I could say something beautiful to
Make you fall in love again
But love has slowly faded away like
Spotlights shining in
to space

I am on your side
You light me up inside
You fill my eyes with stars
It doesn't get us very far

Just look around
You don't need no fairy tale
To get you by
Just look around
You don't need no Santa Claus
You don't need to make things up

But if there's something more than this
I'll meet you sucked inside a kiss
And if there's something more to this
Then I will be the catalyst
I wish I could say something beautiful to
Make you fall in love again
But love has slowly faded away like
Spotlights shining in
Spotlights shining in
to space

Just look around
You don't need no government
To get you by
Just look around
You don't need no Santa Claus
You don't need to make things up

But if there's something more than this
I'll meet you sucked inside a kiss
And if there's something more to this
Then I will be the catalyst
I wish I could say something beautiful to
Make you fall in love again
But love has slowly faded away like
Spotlights shining in
Spotlights shining in
to space

Abandoned Pools - Tighter Noose

Up in smoke
This is a joke
Isn't it
All your fault
You went too far
Call it quits
No one knew
The dare to prove
Came and went
Moving on
Chance is gone
Throw a fit

So it's through
Nothing's left to lose
It's lucky too
Who needs a tighter noose

You're so weak
Beat up a geek
Makes you complete
Not so tough
I've had enough
Now I leave
Getting away
One more day
Till then I'll sleep
All I need's
A chance to bleed
On me they feed

So it's through
Nothing's left to lose
It's lucky too
Who needs a tighter noose
Who needs a tighter noose

I know who you are
I know where you're going

So it's through
Nothing's left to lose
It's lucky too
Who needs a tighter noose
Who needs a tighter noose
Who needs a tighter noose
Who needs a tighter noose
Who needs a tighter noose
a tighter noose

Abandoned Pools - Waiting To Panic

What do I do to get your attention
What do I do to get this through
Not the cool kids clique
Not the cool fake hits
What do I do to break this silence
What do I do to make the noise
You prefer to hear
demand to hear

I'm sitting
I'm standing
I'm thinking
I'm thinking
I'm walking
I'm running
I'm thinking
I'm thinking
I'm waiting to panic
I'm thinking
I'm thinking
I'm thinking
I'm thinking
My head is exploding
Like an atom bomb
Like a mushroom cloud

What do I do to get your attention
What do I do to get this through
Mobs of idiots do what you're told to do
Get away from superstition
Get away from boogiemen
In the dark night sky
In the dark corner

I'm sitting
I'm standing
I'm thinking
I'm thinking
I'm walking
I'm running
I'm thinking
I'm thinking
I'm waiting to panic
I'm thinking
I'm thinking
I'm thinking
I'm thinking
My head is exploding

I'm sitting
I'm standing
I'm thinking
I'm thinking
I'm walking
I'm running
I'm thinking
I'm thinking
I'm waiting to panic
I'm thinking
I'm thinking
I'm thinking
I'm thinking
My head is exploding
Like an atom bomb
Like a mushroom cloud

Abandoned Pools - Blood

I see the happy the family tree
It sways so easily
We're smiling all the time
This world just isn't mine

We watch it burn
And we never learn
This can't be what you're waiting for
Staring into the sun
We eat our young
This can't be what you're waiting for

Just take it easy on yourself
Forget all the stupid things we say
I know you beat up on yourself
I know it's in your blood

You say what no one understands
The seeds are in your hands
The branches break your bones
I can't just leave you alone
And watch you squirm

And I can't bring myself to look
I rip the pages from the book
And watch it burn

Abandoned Pools - Renegade

Scattered thoughts and scattering masses
The war has just begun
the bully pulpit never had so much fun

Like a wrecking ball held on a string
I'm a renegade who wants to get stomped
Like a wrecking ball held on a string
I'm a hammerhead who wants to get stopped
who wants to get stomped on

All I see are daisies for miles and miles
Lighting universes
The rappers in their limousines just want to be loved

Like a wrecking ball held on a string
I'm a renegade who wants to get served
Like a wrecking ball on a string
I'm a hammerhead who wants to get stopped
who wants to get stomped on

Take me back to days of summer
And give me all the simple things
I bet you got that tattooed on your lonely heart

Like a wrecking ball held on a string
I'm a renegade who wants to get stomped
Like a wrecking ball held on a string
I'm a hammerhead who wants to get stopped
who wants to get stomped on

Abandoned Pools - Sunny Day

Hiding inside a crowd
My head is inside a cloud
Go where the music's loud
And all these talking heads are
Blurred in violet hues

Another Sunny Day

She doesn't know wrong from right
She doesn't know when to fight
She only knows that tonight there's always someone out there
She'll never be alone

Another Sunny Day
C'mon get out

Get off the bathroom floor
Daddy's not here no more
I'm showing you to the door
Enough of always numb and always insecure

Hiding inside a cloud
Go where the music's loud
My head is inside a crowd
And all this talk of rock-stars really makes me sick

Abandoned Pools - Lethal Killers

Is it not enough for you
to be alive
Did you have to create god
to survive
This is all we have
and all we have is everywhere
There are so many stars
The church and state are lethal killers

If this is all we have
Life seems so much better
Life seems so much deeper
than before

Does it make you feel much better
To stay unaware
Are you living for a heaven
That might not be there
This is all we have
and all we have is everywhere
There are so many stars
The church and state are lethal killers

If this is all we have
Life seems so much better
Life seems so much deeper
And now I'm sure
that this is all we have
Life seems so much better
Life seems so much deeper
than before

This is all we have
and all we have is everywhere
This is all we have (Is it not enough for you) to be alive
And all we have is everywhere (to be alive)
This is all we have
and all we have is everywhere
This is all we have (Did you have to create god)
And all we have is everywhere (to survive)

This is all we have
and all we have is everywhere
There are so many stars
The church and state of lethal killers

If this is all we have
Life seems so much better
Life seems so much deeper
And now I'm sure
that this is all we have
Life seems so much better
Life seems so much deeper
than before

Abandoned Pools - Lucky [Bonus Track]

It's not me
Find someone who loves you
And if not me
Find someone who knows who you are
They're just memories
They can get so mean
Little sacred things
Floating out to sea

I once knew a girl
She once knew me
We had our own world
My life was free

I loved someone
I set them free
They haven't yet come back to me
But if they do
I'll surely be
More lucky than anyone could be

An empty house
A sacrificial mouse
A head full of lead
Weighing all the things that she said

But I digress
My tunnel vision
Make me pay
I know what i'm missing

I once knew a girl
She once knew me
We had our own world
My life was free

I loved someone
I set them free
They haven't yet come back to me
But if they do
I'll surely be
More lucky than anyone could be

So won't you please
Find your way back to me
My one and only
Find your way back to me

I once knew a girl
She once knew me
We had our own world
I like what's free

I loved someone
I set them free
They haven't yet come back to me
But if they do
I'll surely be
More lucky than anyone could be

And if not me
Find someone who loves you
