I Don't Cry 03:08
I don’t cry All that lost time I don’t cry All that lost time I don’t cry All that lost time I don’t cry Your oldest friend went off her medication Broke down your door then trashed your reputation You’ll always love her but you’ll never let her in It will never Get much better They’re all lost forever You tried to help her, offered her protection These jaded eyes are in your own reflection Strung out too long to get back where she started from It will never Get much better They’re all lost forever I don’t cry All that lost time I don’t cry All that lost time I don’t cry All that lost time I don’t cry We should’ve known it couldn’t last forever Cry then apologize ‘till it doesn’t matter No way to stay no way of starting over now It will never Get much better It will never Get much better They’re all gone

She Was 03:13
She was a chaos machine I loved her so She was a punk rocker’s dream I loved her so And when she takes you down You’d never know you hit the ground And there’s no time to think twice now Cuz you’re the one that she found She would take anyone’s dare I loved her so She got the world to stop and stare I loved her so And when she’d leave you cold She’d leave no wound for you to show But you were hurt more than you know Cuz that’s the way that she rolled She’s going to shake things up you’d better stick around Things will disintegrate you’d better stick around There’s going to be a fight you’d better stick around You won’t get home tonight you’d better stick around She was a chaos machine I loved her so We were just extras in her dream I loved her so And when she takes you down You’d never know you hit the ground And there’s no time to think twice now Cuz you’re the one that she found She’s going to shake things up you’d better stick around Things will disintegrate you’d better stick around There’s going to be a fight you’d better stick around You won’t get home tonight you’d better stick around

200 Rounds 02:37
Her message comes through and I start to run I don’t wanna die mom There’s blood I hear guns We’re all just fish in a barrel at some god damned shooting gallery Only country in the world where fools think guns will always set you free He fired 200 rounds at our teenage daughter Each day brings another it’s going to drag us under 200 rounds at our teenage daughter The numbers keep piling until they drag us under Can’t get close enough What even could I do Can’t put myself between And she doesn’t want me to He fired 200 rounds at our teenage daughter Each day brings another it’s going to drag us under 200 rounds at our teenage daughter The numbers keep piling until they drag us under I need to roll back time Or turn superhero-strong I’d give anything to have You safely in my arms This can’t be happening Not happening, no, please no Because this can’t be happening Not happening, not happening No no no no no no no Their stupid Wild West fantasy just Almost wrecked our lives They all want to play soldier but They’re too scared to pay the price The look in her eyes as she shrugged it all off Said it had to come sometime No innocence lost It’s just part of the cost A cost we all pay Just so some fools can play Play soldier play soldier Soldier Play soldier Play soldier Soldier Play soldier Play soldier Soldier Play soldier Soldier
