The simple things that complicate our lives Looking for the answers we won’t find They’re just wasting all our time Well I’m going to trade my eyes in for two holes in my face So I don’t have to wake tomorrow and see this place Cuz every year I’m getting older, I am losing hope That everything will turn out better than it was the year before (Cuz I'm dawning on the stupid things I’ve done) I’m choking on tomorrow cuz I’ve swallowed my regrets And they say that it gets better but it hasn’t happened yet Well I’m worried about tomorrow Can’t see what this day brings Just carrying your footsteps to a place you’ve never been I’ve tried so hard (I’ve tried so hard) To figure out my future but I don’t know where to start *Define me, and I’ll be me Define me, and I’ll be me (The simple things that complicate our lives Looking for the answers we won’t find They’re just wasting all our time) Hey, wake up, snap out of it Shout the voices in my head Polaroids of life flash quick Hanging onto dreams once said The words I’m thinking can’t explain reasons for just how scared I am Just simply knowing that all this going on will soon just end (Standing there like a ghost in the field by the gates With my hopes in my hands, I await And the stones carry names through the grass and the dirt where they lay Only flowers remain) x2 * They’re just wasting all our time (My days fly, do yours? cuz I know my days fly, do yours? cuz I know my days fly, do yours? cuz I know my days fly do yours? All I know that my days fly, do yours? cuz I know my days fly, do yours?) I was a merry man, And now I won’t pretend Cuz when it’s gone, I know it’s gone And I don’t want to make amends I’m going to try to make this right www.wtaaband.com or Wtaa.bandcamp.com

I woke up to the sound of slamming doors And cans on strings in the streets replaced all the telephone poles Contrived perceptions of the gaps and missed connections Holding mirrors face to face I gazed out towards the lighthouse from the shore And pondered the seclusion humans seem to live for We keep are distance cuz it’s all we have to live with And some things aren’t going to change I am never coming home Do what you want, cuz when the morning comes, I’ll be gone I am never coming home

30 Stones 03:11
Things are looking grim right now The things we lived through showed me how To let my past regrets all float downstream The guy needs money for new parts Cuz we got anxious with those rocks Man, we really took one for the team *I’m only laughing cuz I feel much better now The pain is so far away (Why did the sun rise?) Retrace the footsteps, how this night went by so fast I never thought that it would end (Why did the sun rise?) We’ve said our last goodbyes We’ll met again sometime We’ll go and eat our disco fries Play our guitars all through the night (x2) Late night walks to restaurants The things we drank inbetween shots And jumping on your neighbor’s trampoline We’ll drive to see our favorite bands Backseat full of empty cans Don’t wake me up if this is all a dream * 30 stones by dawn We puked on your front….lawn I hope this night just never ends The summer’s gone, here comes the fall But the sun rose up my friend And now we’ve got to drink them all (x2) *

So we’ve got to talk Been up all night parading thoughts Those memories defined us, so we left the past behind us A friendship made, a battle lost, the endless times we fought It’s funny how we’re both survivors and that’s what makes us dead Inside now, and I’m apathetic Did I say I wanted things to be this way? We’ve got chemicals and companions The strive for fame controlled the scenes that we once played The audience reacts with no applause Took your bullshit, I didn’t want to, but I did it anyway Fed your ego ‘til my bones were practically bare In your lion’s den, it didn’t manage but I did it anyway I dodged the dreams that fall and left them all with nothing to spare (So I’m calling collect from a landmine Flying in on your wings as the atom bomb sings) (x3)
5.
The sky unfolds like a gray mosaic The leaves are piled in their sidewalk graves I hear them whisper as they slowly sway, They say, “welcome to November” Let’s raise a glass to the tired and sick The strongest drink you can ever mix And if you dare to drink all of it, We’ll say, “welcome to November” With inch by inch, and these words sung, We’re taking down the people that are hurting everyone (x2)
6.
I see the clock, I watch the hours slowly ticking away (I wish I could get these minutes back) The days are longer and I wonder when my life’s going to change (This waiting is going to make me crack) The words I wish I would’ve said Alive in me, but left for dead I’m just a puppet so I’ll tell you what you want me to say (Cuz it’s not for me; that’s what it seems) *And every time I fall asleep, I hear your voice like gunshots from under my sheets And you’re saying the words that are making it worse You compromised my dignity cuz your life sucks But I’m falling in the debris of the pain and the hurt you create for the world I’m getting tired and impatient and I don’t want to wait (About to explode, so hit the deck) I’m overwhelmed by all the shit that’s piling up on my plate (The car keys that led to the car wreck) Assuming roles, attending these memorials of my dead dreams Dressed up in bullet holes while bodybags are sealing their fate (Cuz it’s not for me; that’s what it seems) * And every minute going by we die a little from inside And nothing ever gonna hold me back The padded walls have kept you in Your never ever gonna see daylight again But when! Were you ever my friend! My friend! Stored up in my heart for oh, so long Without knowing anything was wrong (x2) My feelings lost pigment, and now they’re only getting cold Just zip them in this body bag, and take them to a place unknown (Without knowing anything was wrong) (x2) And every time I fall asleep, I hear your voice like gunshots from under my sheets And you’re saying the words that are making it worse
