This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Before the torture (how long will they last?)
And all the murder (the darkest days of my past)
I'll make the time stand still (here are some pieces of
me)
With just one more pill (to be your bedtime story)
Welcome, just sit yourself down
My friend's been shotgunned to the ground
Too right, it left him with a bruise
I heard his name on local news
There is no answer on the phone
He's lying breathless in the snow
(And now the tears pour from my eyes)
Nothing will ever be the same
All I can scream is his name
(I'll smash the place up one more time)
You speak no words
As I carve my way through your face
It's here, the sound
And you're a shotgun from insanity
No pills take away this pain
There is always an end to every reign
My clock is ticking way too slow
It's one more object I can throw
Tell me now how it feels
When I twist with my knife
(Before the torture)
Into you
(And all the murder)
The darkest days of my past
I'll make the time stand still (here are some pieces of me)
With just one more pill (to be your bedtime story)
With a shotgun, you took everything away
No word or phrase can
change the look on your face
Something is wrong, nothing is right
Nothing can change the fucking look on your face
Something is wrong, nothing is right
And all the murder (the darkest days of my past)
I'll make the time stand still (here are some pieces of
me)
With just one more pill (to be your bedtime story)
Welcome, just sit yourself down
My friend's been shotgunned to the ground
Too right, it left him with a bruise

With just one more pill (to be your bedtime story)
With a shotgun, you took everything away
No word or phrase can
change the look on your face
Something is wrong, nothing is right
Nothing can change the fucking look on your face
Something is wrong, nothing is right
