Tracy Mongould Twenty six years old Wakes up every morning, thinks he's much too tall Disowned from his family, disowned from his life It's gotten so bad he's gone and bought himself a knife Yes he has Walks outside, rips off his tie Gives it to a driver in exchange for a ride He says I'm gonna do something today, something years from now Kids will still be saying, they'll be saying Tracy Mongould Sets fire to the road Walks down the street with children down at his feet Murdering children, murdering adults Murdering babies, burning their throats Oh Tracy Mongould, leave us alone Get down on your knees and pray to be shown with mercy Oh mercy Did you blow your brains out or just get burned I forgot Walks through town Smiles as he turns around I child poking at his back, on the merry go round What do you want You waste of space, basket case Future failure in this world An opposite ace Then he goes and kicks the operator right in the face He yells say my name, it's Tracy Mongould Sets fire to the road Walks down the street with children down at his feet Murdering children, murdering adults Murdering babies, burning their throats Oh Tracy Mongould, leave us alone Get down on your knees and pray to be shown with mercy Oh mercy Did you blow your brains out or just get burned Tracy Mongould Sets fire to the road Walks down the street with children down at his feet Murdering children, murdering adults Murdering babies, burning their throats Oh Tracy Mongould, leave us alone Get down on your knees and pray to be shown with mercy Oh mercy Did you blow your brains out or just get burned I forgot

You don't know me And you never will You like to abuse me just for the thrill Play me like a game, jerk me like a toy You do it for the fame, I start to get annoyed Start to get annoyed Gotta go but we wanna stay The time is up for the show we play This feeling man, I can't explain Then another one fades into a haze You don't know me But you wish you could You don't wanna change But you really should Now times have changed And I'm on top You ask me for empathy I said good luck And showered you with love Gotta go but we wanna stay The time is up for the show we play This feeling man, I can't explain Then another one fades into a haze Gotta go but we wanna stay The time is up for the show we play This feeling man, I can't explain Then another one fades into a haze You don't know me And you never will You like to abuse me just for the thrill Play me like a game, jerk me like a toy You do it for the fame, I start to get annoyed Start to get annoyed Now times have changed And I'm on top You ask me for empathy I said good luck And showered you with love

Hey how are you What's your name Somebody tell me I'll go insane Without you I'd be lost But soon I'll be lost anyway At least I hope It's too soon to say Hannah who are you Show me the way Around this shithole To my dismay Once a day Enough to hold on It always changes I'm never wrong I'm so weak Would somebody help me Everybody's left me Hannah who are you Show me the way Around this shithole To my dismay Hannah who are you Show me the way Around this shithole To my dismay Are you my hero Or just another one who will break my spirit I guess I'll never know Until I Go and do it again Hannah who are you Show me the way Around this shithole To my dismay Hannah who are you What's your name Show me around this shithole To my dismay Everybody's left me Everybody's left me Everybody's left me Everybody's left me

I sleep in late I can't complain Don't wanna qoute Courtney it's a mundane monday What'll I do today My fingers don't wanna press down Don't wanna be one of those rocks that you see in the park People pointing and saying it's not as good as the others I repel you And tell you With love That you've gone down that dark path and now you're really fucked up My alter ego, the man in my head He wears a bucket hat and he smokes cigarettes But so do I so really what's the point Which begs the question Are all alter egos just a different name with same characteristics Wait What about Bono does that count No wait what was I talking about I repel you And tell you With love That you've gone down that dark path and now you're really fucked up I repel you And tell you With love That you've gone down that dark path and now you're really fucked up So please Just give yourself a second Breath in breath out So we can focus on why we're here and what we need to talk about I used to think that I'm a nice guy But after spending a substantial amount of time in the sky I see why This is killing me Things just aren't what they seem It's my responsibility to see to it that we are ok Cause at the end of the day it's my name And I'm the one who's just got so much stupid shit to say Like how could we have allowed ourselves to be washed out with the tide Man it's like we need to get high to get by, to survive And to live out the monotony of our daily lives The past seems great, I'm just saying It's not like I'm complaining And it's obviously fine that the two of you are dating But it feels like we've tricked our minds and fell behind We're adults now and that is why I repel you And tell you With love That you've gone down that dark path and now you're really fucked up I repel you And tell you With love That you've gone down that dark path and now you're really fucked up

I'm I'm at a loss for words I Just don't know what to say Can't communicate or enunciate I don't even know what I'm trying to say It's like There's a hole in my brain I'm not this I'm a posthumus compilation Of your favorite kid Trapped in a place in time I'm I'm at a loss for words I Can't stop staring at your face Carelessly you've said to me That there's a beauty to find in the ordinary And we'll Have some happy days I'm not this I'm a posthumus compilation Of your favorite kid Trapped in a place in time I'm not him I'm the mundane situation I'm the ending that the author wasn't scared to write

Take it With you on the highway Take it Everywhere you go It's a long way Long way back to Florida Oh I can't believe It happened to me Why this time I thought she was mine I've never felt this way before It's no obsession it's so much more Eighteen Sixteen on Thursday Kiss me In the hallway Good times With good moments Bad futures With bad components And she said she didn't even know me Oh I can't believe My first was seen I can't believe My first was she I've never felt this way before It's no obsession it's so much more How will I ever lock this door Why not just say welcome to the morgue Oh I can't believe She rejected me All we've been through she and I Or was that just all in my mind I'm not excited anymore Please just spare me I implore Memory will always bring me joy I should've left it at that nothing more
