Someone told me a story About the end of times Someone told me a story It was a fucking lie Sometimes I wonder why Nothing’s ever cut and dried Sometimes I wonder how I-I got to have you in my life (chorus) This is a song for the girl that never went away This is a song for the thousand things that go right every single day That no one ever seems to write a song about It’s funny because they’re the things that make you stick around A bowl of ice cream It’s fuckin’ February Ten minutes you’ll be telling me you’re cold Sometimes I wonder why your crazy never got on my nerves But you do have sex with me and that makes up for quite a lot (Chorus) This is a song for the girl that never went away This is a song for the thousand things that go right every single day That no one ever seems to write a song about It’s funny because they’re the things that make you stick around

(Chorus) Step Up…. I shouldn’t be who they want to be… Analyzed, Desensitized to their tears “Cruel to be Kind” is a worthless response Kids don’t know just how far to go You should show them to stand proud Not cut them right down to the ground (Chorus) And I know I’m supposed to respect you But I can’t understand why you do the things you do And I don’t have time to change your mind Saturday night you’re going out and I don’t want to get in that fight (Chorus) Take the easy way out again…

Trying to define the hues of the moonlight but I haven't the vocabulary nor the dictionary so perfectly ordinary that I forget what it's like how pain is the price to be here with you on Earth tonight Wish I could say what you mean to me but I haven't the dreamer's mind nor the poet's rhyme to describe my Heaven's sight and I forget what it's like how pain is the price to be here with you on Earth tonight

I guess it’s safe to say That we should’ve seen it coming Maybe put us in the way And the look in your eyes like you believed the lies And like title ever could have took the place of pride I don’t know Hardly seems worth the effort to explain (chorus) And I don’t know if I’m disgusted more or less than I’m betrayed But we never could have stood to see another man a slave And to think how close we came to a brand new day Hey! Could’ve ended better but instead I’m gonna walk away It’s always been this way Such a fucking shame Row on row of empty causes Nets and losses Stupid goddamned game (chorus) And I don’t know if I’m disgusted more or less than I’m betrayed But we never could have stood to see another man a slave And to think how close we came to a brand new day Hey! Could’ve ended better but instead I’m gonna walk away And the look in your eyes like you believed the lies And like title ever could’ve took the place of pride I’ve walked a lot of lines Had a couple bad times But I just can’t stand to pitch that line

Trust is a funny thing It runs out quick Just think about the friend you had before you did this And I know I only doubt it ‘cause I want the universe to be just I’m sure things will work out ‘cause, after all, “This time its love!” and (chorus) I was always sure that life was never worth giving up To waste the chance we’re given, man, It’s just fucking criminal And I was always sure there was a second chance for everyone Yeah, I was always sure But I’m not so sure about you Now the weddings all done You got your pictures on the net Classy move to keep the date I’m sure that’s something that you’ll never regret In time As you’re rollerblading off to a brand new life Just remember: “You deserve this!” We just wanted you to know before we said goodbye that (chorus) I was always sure that life was never worth giving up To waste the chance we’re given, man, It’s just fucking criminal And I was always sure there was a second chance for everyone Yeah, I was always sure, but I’m not so sure about you

He would twirl his cigarette lighter around his callused fingers as he Always told The funniest stories and you always listened to his noble ideas well meaning intentions But angels don't do well down here when they fall from heaven Sober days on loading dock gates and warehouse floors He will make Me a millionaire once I tell the World about his noble ideas well meaning intentions How angels don't do well down here when they fall from heaven Now I find I use his footsteps to guide mine If only by His company he's shown me beauty in the ugliest times But angels don't do well down here when they fall from heaven

I never did agreed that it's a sin but a bullet in the head ain't no way to live and kinda glad I never had the guts cause this ain't no dream but it's close enough I've always been kinda fucked in the head but I never really did have it all that bad three squares, a mom, and a dad but the truth is I never did liked myself which tends to make the living kinda rough as if being young wasn't hard enough but it's the perfect recipe for making a punk They say it's all how you grew up Chemicals and all that junk I just say some of us have all the luck through bloodshot mornings and low wage days Somehow I managed to find my way But it wasn't cause of any of those things See some are meant to live and some to fade away

You come to work everyday and you’re driving me insane It’s like you’re eating at my brain With your hair done up and your clothes all fancy You try so hard, but you’re just not pretty (chorus) I know those shoes weren’t mine Makes me want to gouge out your eyes and I’d feel much better, if you would die, die, die Die, die, die tonight Your name’s not a name it’s just letters pushed together No one wants human chain it’s 100 degrees out here Why are you so goddamn stupid? (Chorus)

I remember when we cut the string I remember wishing I could think of anything to say And I was never very good at ends of things I usually try to be somewhere kinda not around When it starts To come down And I remember talking to you on an afternoon The weather just cold enough for thinking “jacket soon” And I remember thinking this was gonna come between us And never wanting any less to be right I remember saying maybe I was being an asshole But I was only trying to avoid a fight, ‘cause I knew And it’s not that I begrudge you the peace of mind It’s just that we can never figure how to fit inside Fucking complicated lives Did I mention that I’m sorry for the wasted time? It’s just I thought that there’d be more before the well ran dry It’s alright We’ll get by Can’t say we didn’t try And it’s not that I begrudge you the peace of mind It’s just that we can never figure how to fit inside Fucking complicated lives Did I mention that I’m sorry for the wasted time?

about

Simply stated by the band as the album they’ve always wanted to make The Lavender Album shows the growth of The Disabled from their punk rock roots. Diving into more eccentric musical styles the album is by far the most solid of any of the group’s albums displaying many less conventional influences and more adventurous song construction.
