So it's just another Tuesday night here all alone And I am running through the numbers on my phone Thinking how many days I've spent by myself Watching the time melt together like wax I don't owe you anything no more Not since you left me on my own No conquers, nothing gained alone I know we want something else, no more It's time to get away, think I better run, boy Things are stagnant here and nothing seems like fun anymore I used to be so free, you used to believe in me I say nothing's different; you say that's the problem I'm not gonna try to justify or give you false hope I'm not gonna lie, I think you smoke too much, it makes me want to choke Maybe you smother me or mother me, either way I can't breathe Get your dog out of here, I'm not thinking I can take it no more So it's just another Tuesday night here all alone And I am running through the numbers on my phone Thinking how many days I've spent by myself Watching the time melt together like wax Just relax, you're doing fine, don't waste your time, you're beyond your logic Flawed, your system is wrong, and you will do what you will need to do On and on the fighting goes, and on and on the fighting goes I don't owe you anything no more Not since you left me on my own No conquers, nothing gained alone I know we want something else, no more No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

I just broke up with you And now I'm sure I'll be the bad guy too Although as we both know that isn't true I'm shutting down again And you'll be sad because we can't be friends Of course, I feel much worse, you understand I functioned well before I met you And I don't know why I let you Make me feel like such a heel, empty and bland And I was wrong to think we're better as a pair I feel much better every day that you're not here All the times I felt so wrong Struggling just to get along Everything we've ever done That's all over Can't believe it fell apart Never should have had a start Drinking on an empty heart Far from sober now I've had enough of this And I'm done being such a sycophant Cause there's no winners here, but I don't lose I feel embarrassed of myself Because I couldn't be more selfish I'm allergic now to shellfish, bugs, and you And I'm thinking about right now, not yesterday I wish that you were half a million miles away All the times I felt so wrong Struggling just to get along Everything we've ever done That's all over Can't believe it fell apart Never should have had a start Drinking on an empty heart Far from sober now

Wake up naked to the sound of a cheery tune I'm itching, feeling sore It's hard to deal with just what you did yesterday I wonder what's in store It's a long way down in this abyss Coming next is kids What can you get from this? It's a long way down in our relationship And what comes next is kids There's no more time for bliss Long way down in this abyss Coming next is kids What could you get from this? It's a long way down, what can you get from this? Some say "ignorance, it is pretty lame" But you choose your battles too When you're overloaded with too much pain Deal with what just filters through It's a long way down in this abyss Coming next is kids What can you get from this? It's a long way down in our relationship And what comes next is kids There's no more time for bliss Long way down in this abyss Coming next is kids What could you get from this? It's a long way down, what can you get from this? Ugly people looking back, looking back at you inside I have to be mean to get across, get across my point Don't treat them like, don't treat them like toys It's a long way down in this abyss Coming next is kids What can you get from this? It's a long way down in our relationship And what comes next is kids There's no more time for bliss Long way down in this abyss Coming next is kids What could you get from this? It's a long way down, what can you get from this?

about

Behind Deadlines is not just another ska-punk band. Yes, the songs and shows are fun and energetic, but they're not pedaling the next forgettable and uninspired Keasbey Nights impression that's become par for the course with the genre. No, Behind Deadlines' catchy driving sound would be better described as an intense party in the form of audio. "Goodbye Drake City" is a tribute to the series of lineups and musicians that have helped shape the band's sound over the course of several years, and the departure from the old band name marks the official culmination of the whole journey. Listen to these quality pop-infused wall-of-sound hits and tell us it's anything like Big Frank and the Skankin' Janitors' demo release. It won't be. I promise.
