Ouroboros

Have you ever lost a part of yourself
a part that you thought would never die
but then you made a single choice
that's going to live on the rest of your life
Ouroboros it's an infinite circle
a chain of events that never ends
everything you do
is gonna come right back to you
a chain of events that never ends
I did it to you, you did it to me
it really is different this time
you and him still get along great
while i am tossed aside
Ouroboros it's an infinite circle
a chain of events that never ends
everything you do
is gonna come right back to you
a chain of events that never ends
You're gonna find someone who loves you
and i will be lost again
and we can't be the same as we were
before we made the switch from friends to "friends"
Ouroboros it's an infinite circle
a chain of events that never ends
everything you do
is gonna come right back to you
a chain of events that never ends

Why is that guy wearing my pants?
those are the pants that i'm in love with
i broke them in, they fit me just right
i've never had a pair like that before
i don't think i ever will again.
I love my pants (take off my pants)
i miss my pants (take off my pants)
you can't have them (take off my pants)
cause thouse are mine (take off my pants)
before i kick your ass
Ok i can see, they don't want me anymore
they're happier now with him, then they ever were with me
guess i'll have to except the fact, i'll never wear pants again
until my pants come running back,
if i promise to never wear shorts again, would you ever take me back?
could you ever take me back?
I love my pants (take off my pants)
i miss my pants (take off my pants)
you can't have them (take off my pants)
cause thouse are mine (take off my pants)
before i kick your ass
It makes me ill to see you give
warmth and comfort at his will
you can't imagine how it makes me feel
to see you on him
it makes me ill cause you used to be my pants
my pants
Those pants are yours (can keep my pants)
you can have them (can keep my pants)
they are yours (something something pants)
just please don't kick my ass

Someone like you only comes along
every once in a while
but people like you always seem to be
walkin out of my life
Just this once
i'd like someone to stay
just this once
i'd like someone to say
"hey i wanna be your girl, will you be my guy"
but all the girls in the world must hate me
or they're all just shy
There was a time when you were really
into me
or atleast you lead me to believe
i was close enough to the boy of your dreams
just this once
i'd like to find someone
who won't lead me on
make me think that i'm the one
using me to build them up
so they can tear me down
just this once i'd like you
to maybe stay for a while
just this once in my goddamn life
i'd like to be the one who makes you smile
just this once i'd like things to go my way
just this once i'd like to try to get you to stay
just this once i'd like to be ok
just this once id rather not rue the day
just this once i'd like to win in the end
just this once i'd rather not just be your friend
While you were out being straight edge
i fucked your girlfriend
while you were at a snapcase show
i snapped her case instead
while you were out not eating meat
and saving the cows
i had some meat of my own
and Steve Buscemi came out
While you were out being straight edge
i fucked your girlfriend
it's something you should try sometime
cause man that girl can bend
sure you shouldn't rush into having sex
but you've been together 5 years
what did you expect?
She needed some kind of sexual release
maybe if you had some too
you wouldn't be so mean
you are the poster boy for sexual frustration
maybe that's why you went through
all that genital mutilation
you don't need to take drugs
and you don't need to crusade
you don't need to eat meat
but we all need to get laid
why don't you do nothing
and leave it at that
instead of bragging that you're so cool
and getting stupid tats!
While you were out being straight edge
i fucked your girlfriend
while you were at a snapcase show
i snapped her case instead
while you were out not eating meat
and saving the cows
i had some meat of my own
and Steve Buscemi came out

Spring Cleaning

I just cleaned my room today
and filled a box with you
memories have all been locked away
pictures, notes and tapes
maybe i'll burn them someday
so i'm not tempted to look back anymore
it's so hard to think that you don't care about me
if i needed you you wouldn't be there for me
i thought a lot about how people change
sure we both changed a lot
but we both stayed the same
i don't have to apologize for loving someone else
you may not care about me
but i'll never stop caring for you
fuck it maybe i will
i thought i could make you love me
i though i could make me love you
i guess i was wrong
I just cleaned my room today
and filled a box with you
memories have all been locked away
pictures, notes and tapes
maybe i'll burn them someday
so i'm not tempted to look back anymore
it's so hard to think that you don't care about me
if i needed you you wouldn't be there for me
i thought a lot about how people change
sure we both changed a lot
but we both stayed the same
i don't have to apologize for loving someone else
you may not care about me
but i'll never stop caring for you
fuck it maybe i will

Lucky cigarette
you ain't so lucky anymore
she never meant to hurt you
she just wanted some more
she never meant to hurt you
she just wanted some more
Last one in the pack
picked to be put aside
save it for a rainy day
but the rain has since then dried
last one in the pack
picked to be put aside
save it for a rainy day
but the rain has since then dried
so she bought another pack
so she bought another pack
so she bought another pack
Lucky cigarette
don't look so lucky anymore
the more time you spend in the pack
the less desirable to her
old and stale and bitter
is what you have become
switched to another brand
to another lucky butt
picked to be her favorite
left to be her least
time to start it all again
with a name that isn't yours
Last one in the pack
picked to be put aside
save it for a rainy day
but the rain has since then dried
last one in the pack
picked to be put aside
save it for a rainy day
but the rain has since then dried
so she bought another pack
so she bought another pack
so she bought another pack
She's got a new lucky cigarette
and this one ain't got your name on it
she's got she's got she's got
she's got a new lucky cigarette
now you're just like the others
and now you're just like the others
just like a normal cigarette
