We’re All So Bored…
Release date: January 27, 2008
About the album:
This is a compilation CD of all the demos we’ve recorded since Second Chance for Worst Impressions. We added in all of the Second Chance songs so it would make it easy for everyone to get all of the newer music at once. Most of these songs were considered demos when we recorded them, and there are a few of them that we plan on re-recording for our next album.
Jon’s Fun Facts:
- There are two versions of “Shotgun” and “The Panting Dog”. We plan to re-record “The Panting Dog” a third time for our next album.
- Song For The Ladies was written in a coffee house during an open mic because I wanted to play something that people would actually listen to when they heard it.
- Song For The Ladies was recorded live at Hessler’s Pub in Saint Louis, MO and it was the first and possibly last time we’ve played it live.
- We’ve only played I’m Not Sorry live one time.
- This album is currently only available in digital form.
Tracklisting:
Choking On Eggshells
Building Rome
Lyrics: Jon Heisserer
I’ve got a reason
To let it go
I’ve got the answers
They’re all right here
You’re like an ocean
Of broken glass
I’m like a time-bomb
With no legible address…
I’m so sick of taking your crap
A knife in my back and a pain in my ass
I’m so tired of wasting my time
Choking on eggshells
It’s my life
I’ve got some anger
I’ll let it out for fun
And raise my finger
Did you guess which one?
It’s long and slender
Much like my leg
Connected to the foot in your face
I’m so sick of taking your crap
A knife in my back and a pain in my ass
I’m so tired of wasting my time
Choking on eggshells
It’s my life
Let it go
Let it go
You’ve got to let it go oh no no
I won’t let it go
I won’t let it go…
The Panting Dog
Building Rome
Lyrics: Jon Heisserer
I’m in the dark and you’re a shooting star
And in the night it wouldn’t be so hard if you’d
Come back home
You’d come back home
We could talk about our lonely hearts
And all the reasons why I fell apart, baby
I’m all alone
Oh, let me go
And in this hell where there’s no hint of a spark
You’re just a white coat making his mark, oh
Take me home
I wanna go back to the
Day where everything was gonna work out fine
Where I was yours and baby, you were mine, oh
Take me home
Oh, let me go
Tell me baby, are you happy?
‘Cause I’ve been sitting on my tail like a panting dog
Wanna hear your voice
And touch your body
I know you know you didn’t mean it when you said good,
I know you know you didn’t mean it when you said goodbye
Oh, why?
You said goodbye, oh why?
You better change your mind
(Change your mind, change your mind)
You better change your mind
I’m in the dark and you’re a shooting star
And in the night it wouldn’t be so hard if you’d
Come back home
Come back home
I’m all alone
Oh, let me go
Tell me baby, are you happy?
‘Cause I’ve been sitting on my tail like a panting dog
Wanna hear your voice
And touch your body
I know you know you didn’t mean it when you said good,
I know you know you didn’t mean it when you said goodbye
(Insane, I’ve got no brain)
You said goodbye
There’s no goodbye
You better change your mind
You better change your mind
Bored
Building Rome
Lyrics: Jon Heisserer
Please, please don’t fall asleep
I’ll get you a caffeinated drink
We’ll take a ride
Forget about the day we both died
In each other’s arms
These risky dreams, we’ll fall asleep
At the wheel of every car
While faking friends with all the liars (all the liars)
We’re all just bored
And discontented
So take your muse with a little bit of salt
A thousand reasons
We’re all so bored
And mistreated
State your place with a little bit of tact
And never look
Never look
Never look back
Fall, fall, don’t fall apart
Don’t go breaking every heart you
Rip right out of me
You tase me so I’ll never have to bleed
Just for a moment, for a second
I was happy as can be
(Talking, and talking, and talking, and talking)
Shut your face and listen to me
We’re all just bored
And discontented
So take your muse with a little bit of salt
A thousand reasons
We’re all so bored
And mistreated
State your place with a little bit of tact
And never look
Never look
Never look back
We’re all just bored
I’ll take my muse with a little bit of salt
We’re all so bored
I’ll state my place with a little bit of tact
Oh, and never look back
We’re all just bored and discontented
(What to do, what to do when there’s nothing to do, nothing to do, oh)
So take your muse with a little bit of – shut your face and listen to me
We’re all just bored
And discontented
So take your muse with a little bit of salt
A thousand reasons
We’re all so bored
And mistreated
State your place with a little bit of tact
And never look
Never look
Never look back
Broken Record
Building Rome
Lyrics: Jon Heisserer
Broken record, rescue me
I’m singing in my sleep
With all these dreams of fiction
It’s just addiction, creeping back to me
‘Cause I’m a little bit off my rocker
If you looked at me you would see
I’m all washed up
And beaten down
Oh no, woe is me
“I’ll just sail away”
Broken record, I’m insane
And it’s burning in my veins
A retardation of sensation
With a pill for every day
So I’m okay…
I’m okay
I came a little bit off my hinges
They took me tumbling down to my knees
I’m all lit up
And burning out
Oh no, woe is me
And I just had to say
(I just had to leave here I’m not ok..)
I think about you every day
Ohh ohh
I’m a little bit off my rocker
If you looked at me you would see
I’m all lit up
And burning out
Oh no, woe is me
I’m a little bit off my rocker
If you looked at me you would see
I’m a little bit off
I’m a little bit off can’t you see
Broken record, rescue me
I’m swimming in my dreams
A sea green ocean of emotion’s wrapped it’s hands around my knees
And I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t wait to tell you everything…
Meet You In My Dreams

Gangster Baby
Building Rome
Lyrics: Jon Heisserer
Uhhh
Yo yo
This goin out to anybody tryin’ to be somebody
(We all tryin’ to be somebody)
I mean, some of us are better than others, but ya know
I’m gonna be a rapper, so I’ll make the big bucks
I’ll tell all the homie G’s to tell me I don’t suck
I’ll be pimpin’ in the streets, fightin’ ho’s off of me
Baby, isn’t that you that gave me……V.D.?
I’ll take a little trip with the 9 on my hip
If you’re talkin ’bout my momma I’ll be cuttin off your arm
Baby, we can thug it if you want to believe
That I’m the hippest pimp daddy that you ever did meet
‘Cuz I’m a gangster baby
Oh yeah
I’ll be a rapper, maybe
If I get good enough
Do you think I’m good enough?
Cruise into the bar, that’s where my homeboys are
I got a 20 inch blade and a pimped out car
Dawg comes up starts talkin’ some trash
I busted out my nine and put a cap in his ass
‘Crook into the Cadillac a-riddin’ on dubs
With the bitches in back giving me all the love
I got three baby mamas all lookin for me
‘Cuz I’m the baddest motherfucker since Eazy-E
‘Cuz I’m a gangster baby
Oh yeah
I’ll be a rapper, maybe
If I get good enough
Do you think I’m good enough?
Well, I think I’m good enough
I think I’m good enough
Do you think I’m good enough?
I’m smart enough
I’m cool enough
I’m hip enough
I’m phat enough
(Nobody likes me)
And people like me
Oh, people like me
Oh yeah, people like me
‘Cuz I’m a gangster baby (he’s a gangster, baby)
I’ll be a rapper, maybe (he’ll be a rapper)
If I get good enough
Do you think I’m good enough
Well, I think I’m good enough
‘Cause I’m a gangster baby
I’ll be a rapper, maybe
If I get good enough…
Thank Your Lucky Stars
Building Rome
Lyrics: Jon Heisserer
You better thank your lucky stars for getting us this far
You did it by yourself ‘cuz you’re a big kid now
I’ve got a matchbook and a lighter and a really bad idea
I’ll burn this place to hell, you better not kiss and tell
It seems you’ve ripped apart my insides and fed your dog my bones
Well that’s just fuckin’ fine, I didn’t need them anyway
So while you’re at it spill my guts out
Take my memories and heart
It’s not like it’s all I have
Maybe that’s all I had
It’s just not right, we’ll let go
It’s just not right, we’ll let go
It’s just not right, let’s let go
Happiness is a shotgun to the head, oh
Happiness is a shotgun to the head, oh
You’re better off as a bloodstain on your bed, oh
You’re better off as a bloodstain on your bed, it’s your fault
It’s just not right, we’ll let go
It’s just not right, we’ll let go
It’s just not right, let’s let go
Happiness is a shotgun
(Happiness is a shotgun)
Happiness is a shotgun to the head, oh
Happiness is a shotgun to the head, oh
You’re better off as a bloodstain on your bed, oh
You’re better off as a bloodstain on your bed, it’s your fault
It’s your fault
Everything You’ve Never Wanted

Last Time Again
Building Rome
Lyrics: Jon Heisserer and Ted Bruener
Let’s take a trip
I bought the ticket to get out of here
So much to say
How could we ever say it, anyway?
I’m falling down the stairs for you
I’m talking to the ghost
Waking up without you
It’s hard to understand but I know you’re trying to
Don’t give up on me
You’re all that I’ve got
I swear it’s the last time, again
I won’t let go
You know you’re all that I’ve got
I swear it’s the last time, again
I’m in a dream
All these faces look the same to me
I make you cry
I know you’re scared but you’re still by my side
I’m falling down the stairs for you
Talking to myself
I fall asleep without you
It’s hard to understand but you know I’m trying to
Don’t give up on me
You’re all that I’ve got
I swear it’s the last time, again
I won’t let go
You know you’re all that I’ve got
I swear it’s the last time, again
So hold on
So hold on
I’m falling down the stairs for you
Talking to the ghost
Waking up without you
It’s hard to understand but I know you’re trying to
Don’t give up on me
You’re all that I’ve got
I swear it’s the last time, again
I won’t let go
You know you’re all that I’ve got
I swear it’s the last time, again
I swear it’s the last time, again
I swear it’s the last time

You better change your mind
