I'm Not Really Here

Light it up
Pack it in
Going up in smoke
Take it on the chin
I can't take it
Oh I'm not really here
Life's a haunted house
Terrorize yourself
Wrap your arms around the world
I can't take it
Oh I'm not really here
I'm not really here
This city is alive
Take a nosedive
Falling back to earth
And bring it all back to me
Dig yourself a ditch
Join another ragtag band
Cutting corners
I can't take it
Oh I'm not really here
Blood on the streets
Take a chance
Love yourself
Fall in love with someone else
I can't take it
Oh I'm not really here
I got a secret
I'm not really here
This city ain't big enough for me
And if you listen
You might hear me disappear
This city is closing around me

Only One
03:26

Don't waste your time waiting for the only one
Don't waste my time, I know I'm not the only one
Well, I bit my lip I've been waiting here for way to long
Well, I was in my own way waiting here to begin
Don't waste my time, believing in an only one
Like a cool drink of water burning in the desert sun
Well, I'll waste away in America
Well, I'm wide awake in a living hell
No I'm not the only one
I don't hear you
I've been trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
It's time to let go
Tell me that I'm the only one
Don't waste your time
Waiting for the only one
Don't waste your time
I know I'm not the devil's son
Well, I'll waste away in America
Well, I'm wide awake in a living hell
This time I'll take my chances
Take my chances with you
I don't hear you
I've been trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
It's time to let go
Tell me that I'm the only one
No you're not the only one

Run For Cover
02:43
|

|
Stuck at the wheel
And you know you can't feel the hard times
You know where to find them
They're in the medicine cabinet
Stuck at the wheel and you know you can't feel
I don't want what I know I can't steal
The love
But it's treating me
Stuck at the wheel
And you know you can't feel, it's a hard lie
You know where you are
You're back at the start
And I may be wrong
But I know that I'm right
I know I won't, but I think I might put up a fight
But it's treating me
Now and then I scare myself
And I will run
I will run for cover
I don't mind to waste my time
But tell me what
Tell me what you're after

Alcohol

Pack it up this might be the end
All your loves are waiting again
They're lining up just to watch you sweat
Now drink it up this might be the last drink that you ever have
You're shacking up just to make your point
I know
I don't believe it but I'm shallow
I don't hear it 'cause
I know
I ain't taking no high road
These are the best things that make me a man
Find some love and lose it again
Shacking up just to make your point
Alcohol don't you tempt me
'Cause I know what I need
I know what I need
I'll give it up when I'm ready
I know what I need
I know what I need
So don't talk about it
You're gonna fuck it away
Don't talk about it
You're gonna fuck it away
Don't talk, don't talk now
'Cause we know
We don't believe it 'cause we're shallow
We don't hear it 'cause we know
We ain't taking no high road
Alcohol don't you temp me
I know what I need
I know what I need
I'll give it up when I'm ready
I know what I need
I know what I need
I know what's killing me.

I'm Being Followed
03:10
|

|
I'm being followed
Followed around the city
I'm being setup
Because I know that you know you see me
You got to let go
You can't catch me at all
Let go
Because I know that you know you see me
I'm being tortured
All around the city
I'm being setup
Because I know that you know you see me
You got to let go
You can't catch me at all
Let go
Just so you know
I'm being followed
Being followed
So, so you know
I will give you the slip
I won't be followed
Just so you know
I'm being followed
Being followed
So, so you know
I will give you the slip
I won't be followed
So, so you know, I'm being followed

Wildfire
03:15
|

|
Well I don't believe it
I never thought I'd make it on my own
I never made it on my own
You took care of me
But never took care of yourself
I wonder where you are
Because love burns like wildfire
Raising the dead
Well it's easier than raising this heart of mine
Years rolled over
I don't regret those times we had
Most of them bad
Some may win
Some may try
Some get burned staring at the wildfire
Because I wonder where you are
Love burns like wildfire
Raising the dead
Well it's easier than raising this heart of mine
And nothing's going to stop me
Nothing's going to stop me now
Hot on the wildfire
Come on wildfire
Because I wonder where you are
Because love burns like wildfire
Raising the dead
Well it's easier than raising this heart of mine
Because I can't feel it
Wildfire

Better You Than Me

I sleep on your side
You're not there
But I ain't losing any sleep
Over losing you
But I Qu'est-ce Que Ce'st
I been around
And the fires they remain
But love always dies
Certificate of life
My future's wide
And I'm tired of these ghost stories
Why I keep you around
Tired and there's something missing
Better if you go
Better you, better you than me to be the one to go
Better you, better you than me
I ain't gonna change the world
And I ain't gonna amount to much
Better you, better you, than me
So it's Qu'est-ce Que Ce'st
I been around and the fires they remain
And love always dies
Certificate of life
My future's wide
And I'm tired of these ghost stories
Why I keep you around
Tired and there's something missing
Better if you go
Better if you go
Better you, better you than me to be the one to go
Better you, better you than me
I ain't gonna change the world
And I ain't gonna amount to much
Better you, better you than me
So say what you say
I ain't listening anyway
Time has come
Been cruel to me
So tie one on
Tie one on
Won't be seeing you
For a long, long time
Better you, better you than me
To be the one to go
Better you, better you than me
I ain't gonna change the world
And I ain't gonna amount to much
Better you, better you, than me

Without a Warning

I know that I
I came without a warning
I know that I
I came without a plan
I know that you
You don't believe the message
I know that I
I've got too much shit in my head
I know that
I came without a warning
I know that I, came with empty hands
I know that you
You don't believe the promise
I promise that
I've got too much shit in my head
It's just the way it goes
The world's full of bad people
I'm one of them
I won't apologize
I know I'm a bad person
But I try

I never see myself that way
I need not worry because it's too late
She's going to leave you
You can't fight it
You can't say nothing
This time I'm getting out
Getting out
All the words are written out
Written out
This time I thank you
This time I'm ready for it
I never mean what I say
I just shoot my mouth off anyway
This low
Can't fight
Can't say nothing
This time I'm getting out
Getting out
All the words are written out
Written out
This time I thank you
This time I'm ready for ya
I never see myself
Never see myself
Getting out

Well, that's all folks
The story has come to an end
How can I face myself
Or call myself a friend?
Hey it's night time again
Hey it's all mine
Forgive my reason
And the shame in myself
The silence is screaming
When you put the ghost on the shelf
Hey it's night time again
Hey it's all mine
The setting has changed
The feeling's the same
And I want to be more than this
So much more than this
A mark that will not wash away
Leaving me to feel dirty
Did you really want it this way?
Hey, goodbye
Hey, goodbye
Your laughter haunts me everyday
It fills the empty halls
Leading me to the darkness
Forgotten who I am
Consumed by my mistakes
Distance offers no hand
Echoes of the words left unsaid
I never got to say goodbye
Hey, goodbye

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!
