Bryan Rose Any time I've been frustrated in life, ever since the release of Hopeless Arguments, I always hop in the car and turn on some BRAINCOATS, and it all clears right up, thanks for the awesome last 5 years. Favorite track: Suicide City.

I wake up every morning And I just wish I was somebody else And I toss and turn as my home town burns Agoraphobia starts setting in And I can’t see shit in the mirror Guess I shouldn’t have sewn shut my eyes Holding on for the moment to come When I open my eyes Pull this knife out my spine As I dance down these hospital halls I broke my back on the speed that I lack And I feel like I’m losing control And I’m so scared that I’ll end up alone In an unmarked grave far from home And I can’t feel my legs any longer Guess I shouldn’t have jumped from the third floor But here I am Holding on for the moment to come When I open my eyes Pull this knife out my spine As I dance down these hospital halls

Suicide City 03:35
I press these pages to my chest And I hope it amounts to something Without you, I couldn’t stand myself I just couldn’t go on living I need your voice to tell me That I’m gonna be just fine As I’m latching on to a distant scream From 1999 (And she said) ”I don’t wanna listen I don’t wanna hear it I don’t wanna know” And it’s taken me until just now To realize she should go I’ve had enough This is who I am And I mean it just because I don’t wanna stay in Suicide City I don’t wanna live on Murder Street And I don’t wanna give up, it’s too easy And I don’t care if I’m all wrong I was born and raised out of loud love And it’s all I’ve ever wanted A scream, a picture of a ghost Inside a house that’s far too haunted Torn between the beautiful And the freaks of New York City Heading down where palm trees grow With a head full of graffiti (And they said) I don’t wanna listen I don’t wanna hear it I don’t wanna know And it’s taken me until just now To realize that they don’t know That I’ve had enough This is who I am and I mean it just because I don’t wanna stay in Suicide City I don’t wanna live on Murder Street And I don’t wanna give up, it’s too easy And I don’t care if I’m all wrong
3.
I’d do anything for you And you’ve got nothing for me I guess what I expected was a little sympathy But I’m not that surprised, I really must admit I get a little anxious I get so fucking anxious If you just give me one more try I’ll make you want me this time You’re out of sight and I’m out of my mind I thought this time it would be different But it’s all just the same A slow walk in the park and then a gunshot in the rain Just one kiss good bye, then I promise I’ll leave I’m just a bit dramatic I’ll run straight into traffic Baby ain’t it obvious I want you so bad Light brown hair and blue, blue eyes You were the best I never had And when the night comes I dream of how I hold you in my arms And when the daylight comes, I curse myself For all the far too late night bars I’ll see you from

Dead At 21 02:44
So here we are again now Bored and apathetic Raise a glass to failure Suicide is now expected I am a freak of nature, dressed as a lazy cynic Born into mass confusion, void of all motivation Fear is my conviction Nine to five constriction Kissing the mouth of a gun I’m not the only one I don’t know who I am I don’t care where I’ve been All I know is I’m here and I don’t need you I’m the prodigal son, dead at 21 Dumbfounded, alone And I don’t need you There is no breaking even I’ll never get to heaven I don’t respect or care about any kind of fucking discretion If you want my head, just take it You name the vow, I’ll break it When all the problems are solved We’ll all be long gone
5.
Blacked Out 02:53
I’ve been wanting something, I’m reinventing glory days A destructive habit comforting me We ain’t stopping until I fall face first into the sky I’ve come to terms with how I’ll never be alright I’m dancing right down the line between heaven and hell The ambulance outside my door is not ringing any bells The wrong record on the turntable Last night across the floor ’Cause I only fuck up when I’m bored Waking up to the same old thing again Fall asleep when the room starts spinning Down the bottle all the way, I’ll be your friend We’re going ’til the walls are closing in It’s a disappearing act I’m the saddest fucking clown around Here we go again Blacked out
6.
I don’t like politicians And I hate social media I don’t read the papers I’m an egocentric social deviant I don’t like television Fuck all the radio stations I’m the gun to the head of all the phony celebrations I locked the door, I’m staying in I guess I just hate everything Just nuke it all ’cause I don’t care I’m not losing myself out there, I swear I hate environmentalists And I hate the fucking nationalists I don’t eat fast food And I refuse to take my fucking medicine Fuck governments and anarchists I just can’t take no more of this The only thing I love is hating everything and getting pissed I locked the door, I’m staying in I guess I just hate everything Just nuke it all ’cause I don’t care I’m not losing myself out there, I swear Fuck you all ’cause I don’t care

Gasoline 03:09
On my mind There’s nothing really on my mind A broken record spinning all the time There’s nothing really on my mind Bite your tongue Until the blood is filling up your lungs Because it really doesn’t matter what you have to say So save your breath and baby, bite your tongue ’Cause we’re all going to hell So pretty please, don’t waste your time Desperate and belated wishes for a better life All the time Gasoline and kerosene I’m setting this whole town on fire Life repeats like movie scenes I’m gonna set myself on fire Radio, I feel the static from the radio I think I need a fucking overdose Don’t make me listen to the radio ’Cause we’re all going to hell So pretty please, don’t waste your time Desperate and belated wishes for a better life All the time
8.
So let it out while you want it I’ve gotta say what I need to say I think I want a short breather I think I need a new place to stay I tried falling in love, but it wasn’t that great And now I’m all alone again I don’t think I need these eyes anymore ’Cause I just don’t see an end Am I falling apart Or was I broken from the start? I don’t need your loving, but I think I need a doctor I need the wrong prescription for the right kind of problem I wasn’t ready to be born, can I please be undone again? Pretty please nurse, is the doctor ready yet? Now she’s dancing on the table Like an ulcer in my heart I’ve bled for twenty years straight I feel dead, but life goes on And now everybody’s leaving They packed their cars and now they’re gone I wish I could But I’m chained to the porch of the house where I grew up Am I falling apart Or was I broken from the start?
9.
Rooftops 02:40
A punch in the face and a trick question That’s all I really need for the panic to set in It gets pretty dark from time to time How many more days ’til I feel a bit alive? I followed the cracks in the concrete floor But then I painted myself into a corner again I always lose my sleep from never staying up late But now I’m jumping over rooftops And I don’t feel like coming down tonight No, up here I’ll be alright Oh sweet angel, I’m a mess today Tell me what I want to hear, make the monsters go away I’ve got my head in the sand as I’m dancing on my grave Oh anxiety my darling, I am but a humble slave Your lips are moving, I feel your breath But I don’t hear a sound, the static’s screaming so loud But I’ll deal with it later, I’m a little busy tonight Just don’t look down right now

Animals 03:32

Hank 02:54
She whispered softly I felt her breath on my face She said: ”I’ll keep you as tight as loose change in my back pocket” I felt so right, I didn’t need no injection I sent a signal flying low and high across the nation Cut the cord, I’m leaving And then I got the call My baby girl was leaving She took my money and she burned the house with me left in it It seems like I’m stuck here I’ve got so many questions I turn to the bottle and I hope next time I learn my lesson Cut the cord, I’m leaving Cut the cord, I’m leaving you now And they said: ”Just wait, life'll get you dead” But I won’t give in to pressure, won’t admit that I’m scared I’m just a hired gun without somebody to shoot Yeah, I’m locked and loaded Give ’em all the boot
12.
Blondie 03:39
A shotgun blast from the bast Barbed wire around my heart As the radio burns, I’m still waiting for my life to start And when she goes away An atom bomb on holiday A gun shot in an alleyway A crackling wire inside my brain There she goes All the streetlights fade when she glows like a black light And my heart explodes With the sweet words that she never said Where are you, Felicia? I can’t let you go This nuclear winter’s so cold And I will wait here forever Or until the stars fall down She finally moved to the city, like she told me when we were younger Now it won’t be long ’til the highway turns us into strangers I wish I told you then, just how much I needed it Just a little kid scared half to death I guess some things just never change Here she comes She’s a discotheque on the run Like a heart attack just for fun And she takes me oh, so far away The neon in her heart is pumping to my brain And I’ll make the same mistakes All over and over again
