The Sweet Taste of Bitterness

Better Off 02:00
lyrics
she doesn't know what the hell she even wants. one minute she loves me and the next it's love me not. and yet i, i am the one to blame. why is it, why is it my fault. ch: i know, i know that i am better off without her. she doesn't know what the hell it is she does: mess with my heart, mess with my mind, mess with my everything. and now i have something left to say: i don't care.
2.
Painful Realization 03:44
lyrics
you wanna talk about it, well i don't wanna talk to you no more. i'm tired of pretending, so i'm not gonna pretend no more. ch: in time you'll realize your thousand lies hold no water. you know i know the truth of you and i'll expose you for what you are, what you are yeah (for what you are). you're a liar, you're a liar (you fucking liar). you bring nothing but pain, so take your fucking pain away. you make me lose my head, i'm down to one more fucking thread. i finally figured out my life was better off without the bullshit that you bring and the fucking face you're showing me.

All of My Life 04:49
lyrics
all of my life i couldn't find no one like you. now i'm standing here alone, waiting by the phone. waiting for your call that will never come. should i wait forever? or should i walk right out the door? ch: 'cause all of my life i could not find anyone quite like you. and all of my life i could not describe the way i feel about you. and all of my life i shouldn't wait for anyone, even you. 'cause all of my life would be a waste of my time if i waited around for you. all of my life, it was just a fucked up lie. 'cause everything we had, everything we shared, is everything that i'll just throw away. and now you're out of my mind. now i feel just fine. all of your life, you won't find no one like me. now you're standing all alone. waiting by the phone. waiting for my call that will never come.

This Frown 03:37
lyrics
stuck between my heart and a hard place, you know i've been here before. i'm back again, i'm back on the floor. just let my heart explode. i can not smile, no, i can not smile. i can not smile. just let my heart explode. ch: this frown is my crown. i wear it all of the time. this frown is my crown. all my life i could not define why happiness is my crime. you don't believe it 'cause you couldn't see it. just let my heart explode.

Average Schmo 01:54
lyrics
9 to 5 another day. 9 to 5 i waste away. i can't wait for the night time. beer in hand at a quarter to 6, have a quickie with my chick. i'm out the door as soon as i clean off my dick. ch: wednesday night at the burger joint, i'm with my friends and i'm alright. i made it to the night oh yeah. 9 to 5 another day. 9 to 5 i waste away. the night time seems so far away. no one's better than Eric Geyer. "It's Alright" is my desire. rock on warrior poet.
6.
Unbreakable Bond 01:56
lyrics
you and me, we are friends. we're friends 'til the end. everything will be okay. ch: cause sometimes you need someone else in your life to help make the pain go away. sometimes when life gets you down you know who's got your back with a shoulder to lean on. you know i will be there. i'll never turn you away. thank you for yesterday. thank for today. so here's for tomorrow.

The Big Regret 01:48
lyrics
john: david's a bitch. david: hey. john: no, you really are. you're a big fucking dumbass. david: hey fuck you. john: you wish bitch. she wanted to. she wanted you. she would've fucked your brains out. (really?) but you wouldn't move, you wouldn't bust a groove, and now you're kicking yourself. (yeah.) ch: you should've fucked her, you should've fucked her, you should've fucked that girl. 2nd chances aren't given. you lost your shot. (aw fuck.) for booby grabbing and nipple pinching. now you're all you've got. (eh.) masturbating is all you're getting. it's just you and your cock. (what the fuck else is new?) masturbation, yes masturbation, the only way you're getting fucked. (hey sounds pretty good to me.) you chose to stay with your girl, which is noble but your girlfriend was a slut. (man fuck that trick.) she got preggers, thank god it 'aint yours. she works at kfc now. (haha)

Go Away 03:57
lyrics
every time i think of you i get so sick to my stomach, yes every time. and i'll throw myself right down the stairs like i wish i did to you. oh yes i've fucked up years ago. where everyone can see my blood running down my face and into my eyes. yes i have cried where i should have died. ch: 'cause i don't care what anybody thinks or what anybody says. i'll hate you either way. since i don't like what i see, i will just walk away 'cause this is my life. this is my fight. go away. i've grown accustomed to hating you and everyone else i knew. today's just another day. it's just like the last. and i hope this all will pass. 'cause i've grown fed up of your bullshit opinions. opinions you tried to make me believe. your eyes tell lies. i'm tired of your face. tonight i'm spitting out your taste from my mouth.

Oxymoron 02:51
lyrics
all the bullshit adds up to nothing. it tries to break me, but it won't break me. believe me and i'll show you defiance stronger than before. in my sides are thorns of life injected to break me, but they won't break me. believe me and i'll show perseverance more than before. ch: no one told me it would ever be like this. so i made up my own rules. and i tried, i cried, and i'm still alive. all the bullshit i go through makes me want to die, but i'm alive. and no matter how i feel this will not break me. and i'll keep on fighting until i die.

The Sweet Taste of Bitterness 03:27
lyrics
i said, "i like you a lot." she said, "you're a nice guy but, us girls don't want us nice guys." i guess i had it all wrong. i should have been a dick. but i can't, so i won't, so forget it. i'd rather die alone than pretend. ch: i can not figure out her logic. it makes no sense to me. it's events just like this that give me the sweet taste of bitterness. i sit and rethink all good intentions were for nothing. what do i have to show for it? a black and blue heart. she said "don't worry about it. i'm sure you'll be just fine." i guess we'll have to wait and see, but i doubt it. i know i've made mistakes. and i know i've done wrong. it doesn't mean i never, it doesn't mean i'll never learn. it doesn't mean i never learned at all.
11.
Another Dream 03:39
lyrics
another dream that i wish for, is to win the heart of a girl. she's so sweet and so beautiful. i know i'm not what she wants. 'cause i'm nothing of the man of her dreams. i'm nothing but the man she can't see. and her eyes, her beautiful eyes, they won't ever meet mine. ch: and i wish that i could be so much more. if i hold my breathe and turn blue for you, would it even matter? 'cause i caught myself just wanting more than she will ever offer. a friendship and nothing more, but i love her more than anyone. and i know i'll never be so much more.
