I know your name's not Goose, she said. I go insane inside my head. Everyone who wants to know what my name is Everyone who asks to tell them my name it's My name is Duck

Anchors Away 02:28
Well life is short You never see things coming You're gonna pay for it The smoke and the mirrors Do not make it clearer Isolation, fear; her name is Addiction But it's not the end Even though most of the time it seems hopeless Self deception is a horrible weapon When fighting depression, bouts of isolation But it's not the end Even though most of the time it seem that you'll... Do what you gotta do Just remember to thine own self be true Only works if you're working it for you It's not the enemy, despite what your brain says The smoke and the mirrors Do not make it clearer Isolation, fear; her name is Addiction But it's not the end Even though most of the time it seems hopeless Self medication is a horrible weapon When fighting depression, bouts of isolation But it's not the end Even though most of the time it seems you're lost Do what you gotta do Just remember to thine own self be true Only works if you're doing it for you It's not the end of me.

15 years ago I thought I knew everything I thought I had everything under control I was invincible, knowledgeable and virtually unstoppable I thought I knew the way that things would go Look I know that we have problems But I know that we can solve them If we just look past these things But now this Trojan horse is in your heart and all that's left is just the part When things begin to break Now it's Mr. Asshole to me You've got your pound of flesh And made another set of life long enemies There is no sympathy for the devil You made your bed and now it's time to lay in it You've got a chip up on your shoulder Every day you're getting older Still you don't trust anyone A tyrant always finds a pretext for his tyranny Until the day he comes undone When you feel like right is on your side Forget your ego and your pride One can do evil deeds And now this Trojan horse is in your heart and all that's left is just the part When things begin to break I used to be collected but I don't remember I used to be collected but now I'm only seeing red

Alcoholiday 01:33
This shot of Jack is for you You've never been untrue This beer is for me and my family I love Alcohol I drink tonic and gin I'll love you till the end You'll always be okay by me I love Alcohol You'll never once hear me complain I'll drink you every single morning, every day I love drinking So I say I'm going on an Alcoholiday I won't be back

FYI 02:00
Life's too short for me Fuck your irony I don't want to be an old cliche Life moves way to slow Act like you don't know And I'll promise you another way She's overboard for sure She's heading for disaster She's gonna fucking blow Life's too short for me More so that I'm clean Clinging to the mast with just one hand On this sinking ship Let loose of my grip Just to have a chance to see dry land She's overboard for sure She's heading for disaster She's gonna fucking blow Don't She's overboard for sure She's swimming for the shore The undertow is too strong She's heard it all before She won't make it alone That's all been heretofore She's going to fucking drown We're going down I see she's finally reach dry ground

I haven't seen a cop this bad Since Guttenburgs' Mahoney The sheriffs and the sandwiches Are both filled with bologna There's the cold hard metal beds Next to the cold hard metal crapper And the cold hard metal bars Next to the prosthetic-legged rapper From the top of the Zephyr To the bottom of the barrel In monochromatic and itchy ill fitting apparel There's a trainee and a geezer And an ugly singing horde There's a dozen of us harmonizing to another inmates' snore There's a short little gangsta using a pen for a knife As a Jon Gosselin doppelganger Welcomes me to my new life His wife can't take care of their dog So laugh at him in Walgreens And I flip him off just like a Pog And now I suppose you know how the story goes Of the Jazzland Bandits drinking Cobras and Lokos And now I suppose you know how the story goes of those Jazzland Bandits when they're drinking those Four Lokos

You say you're always hopping trains But you've lived here longer than me I don't work my job Making barley any money Just to give it away for free Just Give It Up

Numbskull 03:02
Level the playing field for once In a bucket of rust Last minute gig I hope we can trust Cincinnati or bust We'll hit the books then hit the gas Evan and Jim and Jack We'll hit the road and forget the past Content with not looking back We will not admit defeat nor submit We will never quit fighting this monstrosity We've heard it all before This Numbskull needs a thinking cap Back to the drawing board Foot in the mouth Knife in the back What are we waiting for Creative sparks ignite a flame Careful we don't get burned But we'll stay warm despite the rain When will we ever learn

Buddy System 02:47
We've always been the best of friends No matter what through thick and thin Although sometimes it's hard without you I feel self-centered when I say I'm glad you're gone but wish you'd stay Because sometimes its hard without you This last year has been a litmus test That I've tried once before I've always felt a little stuck We've always been the best of friends No matter what until the end Although sometimes it's hard without you I feel self-centered when I say I'm glad you're gone but wish you'd stay Because sometimes its hard without you This last year has been a litmus test That I've tried once before I've always felt a little stuck I'm not telling you anything That I ain't said before I wish you all the best of luck

When this world hands you lemons Just make whiskey sours I ain't cryin' I'm not lyin' It feels like I'm on a losing streak Starting in '93 I ain't cryin' I'm not lyin' Yet everybody sometimes feels like you do Try not to let all those things get to you Cause it's a great big wonder world outside I'm not lyin' Clay ripped his pants and I was dead I shrugged it off and said I'm not cryin' I'm not lyin' Sometimes it's like a sinking ship Sometimes it's like a pile of shit Every time I try to stand up it's like something is pushing me down And I can't seem to keep my head up I can't seem to wrap my mind 'round Every time I try to stand up It's like something just says It's a great big wonderful world outside

I can't believe I've just been shot I can't believe I've fought the slings and arrows off All for this peace of mind I've got And still I kept it on the straight and narrow path It's all been said It's all been done It's all insane It's all been fun I kept it on the straight and narrow I fought off all the slings and arrows Inside my head Inside my mind Inside there's everything that I could ever find I can't believe I've just been hanged A sepia photo stuffed inside a picture frame All for this peace of mind I've gained Of course I kept it on the straight and narrow gait
12.
Insecurities are my life And with strife I've taken a stand Against them all and if I fall I'll try it again with help from my friends But sometimes that's not enough for me I question most everything I do And it's true It's taken a few tries and a little compromise But I pushed through with help from my crew And sometimes that's all I really need Sometimes I follow and don't lead Sometime I feel like I forget With much regret just what I've achieved I take a step back and look at it What do I see? Who I used to be? Rock bottom seems so far away but I know It was only ten months ago. Sometimes that all I really need Some mistakes I just can't repeat
