As these days go by, all I seem to see,
Are my last strands of hope crashing down in front of me.
I try to turn my head, and look the other way,
But there's nothing there, it's all the same.

From this cold concrete, to these city streets,
This is all we have, this is all we

Another year has passed,
And I'm still here,
Wastin' away day after day,
Playin' the same old game,
And I'm losing my mind,
Tryin' to pass the time,
This fucking place,
Is eating me inside.

I've gotta get out of this place,
It's time for me to move on,
T

Here I am, I'm alone again,
I ran into another dead end,
I've got no friends in sight to bail me out,
This is what my life is all about,

I take a look around,
And all I see,
Is just a broken hearted reminder,
Of who I used to be,
And I just can't take it,
So

Mandy started out as this girl next door.
She was the one everyone adored.
She was funny and smart, had a good heart.
Little did she know she would fall apart.

Alone in her mind, and alone in her heart.
She said it was this way from the start.
Everybody thought she was

I saw Flip on Christmas Eve,
I guess that needle was his cue to leave,
They found him in the morning,
He was cold and blue,
There was nothing more that we could do,
He chose the path of a junkie's life,
He left his kids and he left his wife,
Now his family's on the st

Roamin' the streets looking for a good time,
We're all out of step and we're all out of line,
The streetlights give off their familiar glow,
They're the only home that we've ever known,
Walkin' down the 2nd Street alleyways,
Rummaging through the wreckage and decay,
There

I'm hanging round on this beat up couch,
Listening to records and hanging out,
With the music and my friends by my side,
If just don't get any better than this,
It's midnight on division street,
I was out drinking with Benny and Keith,
Lookin' for trouble, we were up to n

I'm walking down these same old roads.
It's another night and I'm all alone,
But I still got my faith,
It's all I got and it's all I need.
And it's all I got, it's all I got and need.

There's nothing standing in my way.
I won't listen to what you say.
And you can't

As I drive on down this dead end road,
There's only one way left for me to go.
With the same mistakes I make again and again,
I've gotta see this through until the end.

Have you ever stopped to take a look around?
Have you ever thought of what might be found?
You just m

I'm sitting on the corner, with a bottle in my hand,
How everything in my life goes wrong, I just don't understand,
And no matter how hard I try, I'll always end up here again,
I know I'm gonna be here in the end.

I've got nowhere to go, I've got nowhere to hide,
I'm losing

I saw one day walking down the street,
A kid sitting along in his helpless defeat,
With all of his dreams that came crashing down,
Only to be lost and never found.

Broken dreams are scattered everywhere,
And no one here seems to fucking care,
To pick up the pieces and k

You come down here with something to prove.
You're a bad motherfucker, you've got nothing to lose.
You come down here looking for a fight.
Come down here we're gonna set you right.

He's got no friends in this life.
He just keep on kicking til he's won the fight.
And he'

It was 2a.m. in Columbus Ohio when I saw her standing there,
With her Blitz T-shirt and her miniskirt and her jet-black hair.
I was drinking a brew, sitting with my crew when she lit a cigarette.
She blew smoke in my face and she told me her name.
A name I'll never forget.

When we were kids, we were young and dumb.
Dancing to the beat of the same old drum.
We were ready to leave and to break free,
From this prison we'd all agree.
People say we've got nothing to do.
Nothing to do and nowhere to go.
But we've got a cause, and we've got the ri

The summer sun has sunk down.
I catch the bus and I head downtown.
I'm going to Lou's tonight to see the show tonight.
Where all of my friends are found.
I step into the club and I see Janie Jones.
She's been singing real loud and she's been dancing all night.
She shakes
