Alkaline Trio – Sadie Lyrics 21 years ago
That's what the insert of the Promo says:

You’re on your own my little nightmare, you cannot stay here
It’s far too bright for you. If they attack you just lay there, Play dead dear,
it’s your only hope of pulling through.
And seconds they seem like a lifetime.
A dream, recurring, a dream that can’t come true.
And they’ll pin it all on you
after all you’ve been put through.
“Sadie G. She’s crazy, see?”
that’s what the white coats say.
Now Ms. Susan A. you’re losing
every opportunity to put us all away.
You’re on your own my little nightmare.
Your job is done here.
You’ve scared them all to death.
If they revive them just sit here.
Just smile dear. Make them thankful for every breath.
This sentence may seem like a lifetime,
a scream, that curdling
The blood they found on you.
And your knives and clothing too.
Charlie’s broken .22
Well they found you
and they shipped you up the river
the same way
That you bound and gagged.
You shot and stabbed.
You tried to set them free,
but they’ve thrown away the keys.

Alkaline Trio – Dead And Broken Lyrics 21 years ago
That's what the insert of the Promo says:

A deep dark secret down at the bottom
But this bay can’t keep it unforgotten.
And a story that was told has now grown taller than we’d ever wish to be
Beyond belief…
I’ll grab the boat if you go grab the anchor,
The tarp and twine and the weights that sank her.
They weren’t enough look who showed up
A new light is shining through. Illuminating you as we lay
Side by side, dead and broken
Our lives aren’t the same since the night yours went stolen.
Blood ran black beneath the moonlight. Your lover’s blood ran cold,
Cutting off the hands he used to hold.

Alkaline Trio – Hating Every Minute Lyrics 21 years ago
That's what the insert says:

Sit down, please make yourself comfortable…
I might need some time
to dance around what I need to say,
I love you to death, I think I need a break.
I spend my days worried out loud,
at least in my head, then choke ‘em back down.
It hurts me inside to save your insides,
so close my lips tight, move eyes to the side.
This is the way we disappear,
it’s easy if you burn out like a star,
this is the way we disappear,
it’s easy like a fifty foot fall.
And I’m waiting, for whatever better, time…
to evict these words that have rented out my mind.
And I’m hating every minute that I don’t speak load,
like a year laying down,
like a year laying down,
like a year laying down,
relax on this bed of nails,
on this plastic sheet, your blood leaves a trail
right back to me, a problem you see.
Would you please allow a moment to think.

Alkaline Trio – This Could Be Love Lyrics 22 years ago
Alkaline Trio — Good Mourning - Lyrics

01. This Could Be Love

I've got a book of matches
I've got a can of kerosene
I got some bad ideas
Involving you and me
I don't blame you for walking away
I touch myself, at thoughts of flames
I shat the bad and laid there in it
Thinking of you, wide awake for days
Wide awake for days

And I found you tongue tied
In my twisted little brain
You couldn't crack a smile
I didn't catch your name
I don't blame you for walking away
I'd do the same if I saw me
I swear it's not contagious
In four short steps we can erase this;

Step one -- slit my throat
Step two -- play in my blood
Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
Step four -- stop off at Edgebrook Creek and rinse those crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one

I'm like a broken record
I've got a needle scratching me
It injects the poison
Of alcohol.I.V
I don't blame you for walking away
I'd do the same if I saw me
I swear it's not contagious
I swear to god it's not contagious

Step one -- slit my throat
Step two -- play in my blood
Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
Step four -- stop off at Lake Michigan and rinse those crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one

This could be love
Love for fire
This could be love
Love for fire
This could be love
For fire Forever more

Step one -- slit my throat
Step two -- play in my blood
Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
Step four -- stop at Berkeley Marina and rinse your crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one
One by one



02. We've Had Enough

In the shadows where the heads hang low
You hear voices as the wind blows, asking "can't you see?"
Reminding you to breathe
It's only time before it catches up to you and all your broken luck
I found a better way to get even with my memory

In the darkness where the angels cry
Give us water, give us back our eyes
Our bed's this concrete floor, and it's all we have left to live for
A day we'll never face
We're only second-handed, sick, and lonely
Fighting back the tears and every urge to Van Gogh both our ears

That said, we've had enough
Please turn that @#%$ radio off
Ain't nothing on the air waving the despair we feel

In the shadows where the heads hang low
You hear voices as the wind blows, asking "can't you see?"
Reminding you to breathe
It's only time before it catches up to you and all your broken luck
I found a better way to get even with my enemies

That said, we've had enough
Please turn that @#%$ radio off
Ain't nothing on the air waving the despair we feel
That said, we've had enough
Put "Walk Among Us" on and turn it up
Ain't nothing on the air waving the hatred we feel

This is our biggest fear
The only tunes that we hear
Come via antenna through your car raid-ee-uh-oh-oh-no

That said, we've had enough
That said, we've had enough


03. 100 Stories

You're in the next room sleeping and I'm shouting out a song for you
I shouldn't wake you over the furnace, but I should swear to someone you'd have loved every note
So dream a good one tonight
I'll listen to the bad ones when they come
Get up in my ear 'till I hear every word
Every turn of your tongue, I will tighten my grip
No one could tell even if I fell 100 stories straight down, down, down
No one could tell even if I fell 100 stories down

I was getting bored with hurting myself
If you fall down enough, well soon enough, you will find hell
It can't be as… as pretty as we hoped it would be
It's not even warm here, not even ten degrees

This bed is too big to sleep in, and I'm dying just to feel you breath
You couldn't see across the ocean, but I was turning over 'till the vampires sleep
So dream a good one tonight
I'll listen to the bad ones when they come
Get up in my ear 'till I hear every word
Every turn of your tongue, I will tighten my grip
No one could tell even if I fell 100 stories straight down, down, down
No one could tell even if I fell 100 stories down

I was getting bored with hurting myself
If you fall down enough, well soon enough, you will find hell
It can't be as… as pretty as we hoped it would be
It's not even warm here, not even ten degrees

Dream a good one tonight
Dream a good one tonight
Dream a good one tonight
Dream a good one tonight

I was getting bored with hurting myself
So dream a good one tonight
I was getting bored with hurting myself
So dream a good one tonight
I was getting bored with hurting myself
So dream a good one tonight
I was getting bored with hurting myself



04. Continental

I've got a dying urge to feel the way you do
Too close for comfort, bed and breakfast in a spoon
The shortest breath of your young life
A long walk home on Friday night
You made one last stop at the store

So close to perfect, swear to hell, thought it was you
This bouncing baby boy's now turning baby blue
I've got your pictures on my walls
I've got a long list of calls I must make to your existing family

You had nine lives and one by one you chewed 'em up
Your final coffin nail's been driven far too much
This won't take long, you said, I'm not going far
Go wait in the car
Go wait in the car

I often wonder what it feels like to be you
A mess like this stuck on your hands with crazy glue
Ran out of time, no kiss goodbye
Wish I could learn to let this sleeping dog die without lying to myself

You had nine lives and one by one you chewed 'em up
Your final coffin nail's been driven far too much
This won't take long, you said, I'm not going far
Go wait in the car
Go wait in the car

You had nine lives and one by one you chewed 'em up
Your final coffin nail's been driven far too much
This won't take long, you said, I'm not going far
Go wait in the car
Go wait in the car

05. All On Black

I put it all on black, no color you're all dressed in
And a stab in the back left you bleeding on the floor
And I'm mourning the death, the recent passing of your insides
I smile in regret every time I think of how I spoke to you

I put it all in back of my mind where I hold you
I'm just trying to keep track how far back it really goes
And I'm living in lack of the blood sent from the heavens
I'm just trying to relax as the killer's waiting right outside my door

What's black and white?
What's read all over?
This tired book, this organ donor

Sweet blasphemy, my giving tree
It hasn't rained in years
I bring to you this sacrificial offering of virgin ears
Leave it to me, I remain free from all the comforts of home
And where that is, I'm pleased as piss to say, I'll never really know

I put them all in black, the four walls of my bedroom
And I trimmed them in red, peeled your picture off the wall
And I'm living in lack of the blood sent from your heartbeat
That arrived in your neck every time I salivated over you

What's upside down?
What's coated in silver?
This crucifix is my four leaf clover

Sweet blasphemy, my giving tree
It hasn't rained in years
I bring to you this sacrificial offering of virgin ears
Leave it to me, I remain free from all the comforts of home
And where that is, I'm pleased as piss to say, I'll never really know

One of these days, it's gonna catch up to you
Throwing looks like those around
One of these nights, I promise to you
I'll soon be sleeping sound
As soon as I leave town


06. Emma

Emma appeared like an angel
Emma fell like rain
Into my lap like a heart attack, like lightning from her name
I'm running dry of bad excuses
Don't want to lie or seem intrusive
But time hasn't told me anything, and neither has she

A poinsettia in poison rain
Traded true love for insult and injury
We washed it down the drain with one silver bullet and two vicodin
With two vicodin

Emma woke up in darkness, suitcase already packed
Note on the bedstand signed in blood, "Sincerely, never coming back."
A nightmare on my street the day she arrived
A nightmarish household in which she died, because it made her feel at home
Somehow made me feel at home

A poinsettia in poison rain
Traded true love for insult and injury
We washed it down the drain with one wooden stake through the heart and two vicodin

A poinsettia in poison rain
Traded true love for insult and injury
We washed it down the drain with one silver bullet and two vicodin
We watched the sun fall crown on a city that sleeps in a world upside down
A slow ticket straight out of town
You went out with a bang when you took with you all my dreams underground
With you all my dreams underground


07. Fatally Yours

There's no mystery no more, just no talking to you
Guess you had other things in store
Guess I felt I was through
I answered every question as accurately as I could

I don't hear from you no more, but I get the message
You crashed your car through my front door, I pulled you from the wreckage
You told me that you missed me
But you meant with the grill and hood you'd kill me if you could

And if it's okay, I'll just grab my @#%$ and leave
I won't say one word, I'll keep my tricks up my sleeve
Flew off of the handle, you opened fire on me
Put me down, put me out of misery
I'm fatally yours

You set fire to me that night, you lit and left me burning
Out of my mind, but in my sights, I saw the tables turning
I had a friend that needed me
You made a wish that won't come true, and now it's killing two

And if it's okay, I'll just grab my @#%$ and leave
I won't say one word, I'll keep my tricks up my sleeve
Flew off of the handle, you opened fire on me
Put me down, put me out of misery
I'm fatally yours
I'm fatally yours
I'm fatally yours
I'm fatally yours
I'm fatally yours


08. Every Thug Needs a Lady

I know it's dark here, you know that I'm scared too
For some reason right now, of everything but you
Right now you're all that I recognize
You know I came here when I needed your soft voice
I needed to hear something that sounded like an answer
Now I wait here, and sometimes I get one

It's nothing I'll forget when the moon gets tired
You are stuck to me everyday
Believe in what I am because it's all I have today
And tomorrow who knows where we'll be
From here I can hardly see a thing
But I will follow anyone who brings me to you
For now, forever, for on and on and on

You know it starts here, outside waiting in the cold
Kiss me once in the snow, I swear it never gets old
But I will promise you I can make it warmer next year
You know I came here when I needed your soft voice
I needed to hear something that sounded like an answer
Now I stay here, and everyday I get one

It's nothing I'll forget when the moon gets tired
You are stuck to me everyday
Believe in what I am because it's all I have today
And tomorrow who knows where we'll be
From here I can hardly see a thing
But I will follow anyone who brings me to you
For now, forever, for on and on and on

So go plug in your electric blanket
We can stay in 'till our southern summer wedding day
Go plug in your electric blanket
We can stay here


09. Blue Carolina

It's everything that I can do right now
To not think about you moving further off with every passing second
And every night of this lonely summertime
I feel you missing from my heart, a part was kidnapped from my soul

Well I can hardly wait until I get the sun and your lips both pressing on my skin
Well I can hardly wait until I feel that thrill my heart that starts inside your eyes
And a song in my head that burns so good on my tongue
Yes I will, yeah, yeah
Yes I will

The night is aging as the sun warms your face
Won't you turn around and stay for good, the air is getting much too cold
I am nervous and anxious, it really counts this time
And you know all my favorite singers have stolen all of my best lines

Well I can hardly wait until I get the sun and your lips both pressing on my skin
Well I can hardly wait until I feel that thrill my heart that starts inside your eyes
And a song in my head that burns so good on my tongue
Yes I will, yeah, yeah
Yes I will, yeah, yeah
Yes I will

Someday I'll burn this bed
Only two feet wide, but where I'll hide for the next 17 days
I will ask myself, "How badly do I want this?"
I really want this
Well I can hardly wait until I get the sun and your lips both pressing on my skin
Well I can hardly wait until I feel that thrill my heart that starts inside your eyes
And a song in my head that burns so good on my tongue
Yes I will, yeah, yeah
Yes I will, yeah, yeah
Yes I will


10. Donner Party

So it began this way, I can't recall how it got started
So it began this way, I don't recall a thing
And all in all I guess it's for the better
If you don't remember anything, sit and sing
There was a time when everything we did seemed second nature
There was a time when everything we did seemed free
And all in all I guess it's for the better
If you don't remember anything, sit and sing

And I wanted you to know
It was you that we were thinking of as we eat quietly dying in the snow
A place we'd never leave
A place we'd never want to call home
A place we'd call a final resting place in pieces

So we began this way, I don't recall where we got started
And so we end this way no trace of us in spring
All in all, I guess it's for the better if you just can't feel a @#%$ thing
Fall asleep and die

I wanted you to know
It was you that we were thinking of as we eat quietly dying in the snow
A place we'd never leave
A place we'd never want to call home
A place we'd call a final resting place in pieces

And I wanted you to know
It was you that we were thinking of as we eat quietly dying in the snow
A place we'd never leave
A place we'd never want to call home
A place we'd call a final resting place in pieces


11. If We Never Go Inside

A train appeared in town one night, for some of us it changed our lives
A few of us never saw it coming, then like the fire it disappeared
It happens at a wonderful age, with the traffic lights your mind can change
We made up rules to follow for good
No wonder we're @#%$ up, some of us did

Tonight never ends if we never go inside
The moon is always full
Your calendar is always pinned on summertime

Were you planning on staying forever?
You don't fit in this hole, or don't you remember?
Hold your breath
Walk, don't run, through the graveyard

A train appeared in town one night, for some of us it saved our lives
A few of us never saw it coming, then like the fire we disappear
It happens at a wonderful age, with the traffic lights your mind can change
We made up rules to follow for good
No wonder we're @#%$ up, some of us did

I'm just scared I might never say goodbye
I won't be around to hold you down, pry open your ears and ask you why

Were you planning on staying forever?
You don't fit in this hole, or don't you remember?
Hold your breath
Walk, don't run, through the graveyard

Is this why you've worked so hard?
Is this why you've run so far?
Same place, same hello, same goodbye
Helps you pick through beat up insides

Were you planning on staying forever?
You don't fit in this hole, or don't you remember?
Hold your breath
Walk, don't run, through the graveyard


12. Blue in the Face

It's about time that I came clean with you
I'm no longer fine, I'm no longer running smooth
I though that I found myself under something new
Just one more line I repeat over and over again
'Till I'm blue in the face with a choking regret
Because I talk in circles 'round you on my bed
Can't say I blame you one bit when you kept it all inside
When you left that night

It's about time that you got sick of me
No longer fun, and so far from interesting
I thought that I found me a cure for feeling old
Just one more line to keep me sleeping loudly and cold
In disgraced with a shameful regret
As I talk in tongues to myself in my bed
Can't say I blame you one bit when you kept it all inside
When you left that night

And all that followed fell like mercury to hell
Somehow we lost our heads for the last time
And all that followed fell like mercury to hell
Somehow we lost our heads for the last time

And I don't dream since I quit sleeping
And I haven't slept since I met you
And you can't breathe without coughing at daytime
And neither can I
So what do you say?
Your coffin, or mine?
