Improvisational Accident Lyrics
What happened to all my friends?
Did they leave me or did I leave them?
I can't remember the words you said
Did I block them out or did I forget?
Memories keep creeping back
I don't wanna think about it again
I write the letter
Letters that I never meant to send
Never sent
Now alone (it happened again)
(now I) I sit here alone
It happened again
(you are the only one) it happened again
It happened again
It had to be
It! (now alone)
(not alone) I'm a goddamn wreck
And don't you know
It has us, has us now
Whoah...
(ahhh...)
(ohhh... sooo)
I use my fingers to touch my sweat
Then I run it all across my chest
(across my chest)
I stick my fingers down my butt
And bring it back up to my nose to smell
(to smell, alone again)
I wipe my hands across my sweaty body and use it for shampoo (oooh...)
Again so it went
It happened again
(the only one)
It sang my lament
(whoah, oh...)
It happened again
And don't you
(can't you ever miss our love, our time)
And don't you say
I want you for me
(you tear my heart, can we just talk)
"want you for me"
I don't know you
(not forever, this is never time for a party)
I don't know you
I can't see
I can't see you
Take your pictures back
(we don't see, we don't see it)
You never
You never said
(that he love...)
And the lights are shined on me
(Back us, don't talk shit)
Again
It happened so fast
It happened so fast
(take our best today, you said)
It happened (when you said)
It happened so fast (when you said)
(and all these places)
Sometimes I stand here
Watching back
(all these places
All these places are you)
It can't be
I want you to know
Sometimes I don't say what you know
(don't mind me, you are gutting...)
Sometimes I don't seem sad to you
(again. you gut.)
Sometimes
(in the gut. what the hell are you doing?)
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes you don't stop pressing me
Sometimes you don't say it's over
Together
Together
Together
(put up a fight)
You can't put out lights anymore
I can't sit through this anymore
(oh, no)
I can't
I can't
I can't
I can't
Fight this anymore
Fake the words anymore
(on this one)
As the back shelves fall
I see it
(as we die)
I see it all
(as we die)
As the back shelves fall
I see it
I see it
(as we die)
And I can't fake it anymore
(it's a lie)
And I can't fake this anymore
(this time)
Fake this anymore
(this lie)
The lights have blurred
All the faces in the mind that I can'see
Fake this anymore
(I can't fake it anymore, I can't fake it anymore)
Can't you see their fakeness anymore
(anymore, that's why I can't take this much, it's too much for me)
Thank you Cleveland, you've been great! great!
(it's too much...)
This is the best place, we always love to come here!
Out of our whole tour, you are the best
You guys are the best
Best!
Neil Hennessy: "McIlrath sucks!"
Tim McIlrath: "Neil blows!"
[Start playing out of reach]
Neil: "ready?"
Tim: "alright."
Jay: "oh, f*ck!"
Tim: "start it over"
Remis: "rewind it!"
Neil: "we had to do it with the clicks"
Neil: "why? can you hear me?"
Jay: "huh?"
Neil: "can you hear mine?"
Jay: "nah, I can't really hear it"
Tim: "well, jay, would it be easier if we went "tah, tah, tah, tah..."
Jay: "no, I just, I just want the timing, cuz I, we changed timing..."
Tim: "well, what timing do you want? do you want the "one, two, three, four" or do you want "tah, tah, tah, tah..."
Jay: "no"
Neil: "I should just do it to what, how I play "a stare" [plays, hums melody]
Tim: "you ready, yoppa?"
Remis: "we could start up with a regular... eh..."
Tim: "ready yoppa?... ask him if he's ready"
Neil: "are you ready? k..."
Tim: "alright, do it."
[Someone humming melody to drumstick ticks]
[Start playing]
"What are you talking about? America is not going to be destroyed."
"Never? Well... Iran was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed
Spain was destroyed, all great countries are destroyed. Why not yours?
How much longer do you think your country will last?"
[Laughing]
Umm, hello. sorry to interrupt. this is Dean McMahon.
I ask now that the, uhh, teachers, students, and staff
Umm quickly and safely evacuate the building.
We have had a little problem.
It seems that Tim McIlrath has once again
Pipe-bombed the urinals and the whole first floor is flooding.
We ask that you leave in a calm and sensible manner
So that no more casualties will occur,
For there have already been 6 or 7 that we know of. Please comply.
