Here’s the entire lyrics from start to finish: *[Point/Counterpoint]* I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock My finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked and I can't stop staring at the tick tock clock and even if I could I would never give up. With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung. And if and when I die won't you bury me alone? 'Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song. If there was something wrong would you be oh so strong? Would you do what it takes to move this hollow life along? I'd like to think I would, you know I'd like to think I would but I can guarantee that what you see is not reality and every time she makes a point, I make a counterpoint She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice and you know that's only just the way that it goes You said it right man, That is just the way that it goes And the days, and the days they seem like forever And the days, and the days they seem like forever But forever isn't ever enough!! I'd like to sing a song Promise you won't be long! I'll try not to be long but I don't want to get this story wrong There was a kid who never cared about the little things Don't even bother because I'm tired and I'm sick of it And every time she makes a point, I'll make a counterpoint! She said It's easy but in the end you'll have no choice And you know that's only just the way that it goes You said it right man, that is just the way that it goes I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock And my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked and I can't stop staring at the tick tock clock and even if I could I would never give up. With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung. And if and when I die won't you bury me alone? 'Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song. Oh, you don't know where I've been! Oh, you don't know what I've seen! If I did something right Would you give up this fight? Would you say you were wrong and maybe someone else was kind of right I'd like to think you would You know I'd like to think you would but I can't guarantee that what you get is an apology Jump back to the day we met I never thought that it would end this way If ever I let you down I want to ask of you To take it down a notch and we can talk it on through And the days, and the days they seem like forever And the days, and the days they seem like forever But forever isn't ever enough!! I'd like to sing a song Promise you won't be long! I'll try not to be long but I don't want to get this story wrong There was a chick who never cared about the little things Don't bother 'cause I still don't give a shit And every time she makes a point, I'll make a counterpoint! She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice And you know that's only just the way that it goes You said it right man, that is just the way that it goes I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock And my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked and I can't stop staring at the tick tock clock and even if I could I would never give up.

Oh, you don't know where I've been! Oh, you don't know what I've seen! So tell me friend, how's it going to end? When the shit goes down and there's no one left around to get your back You'll crack You'll smile and agree with everything they say They'll try to tell you that it's all okay But it's not and you're shot and you're bleeding pretty bad And you can't stop thinking about the things you never had Like a wife and a kid and the things you never did You're running around You're living a life that's empty in the end, my friend No, you'll take back all you've said Oh, when the regrets fill your head Trust me I've been there before I would not wish it upon my greatest enemy What irony! Once friends, but I find You'll have to learn this lesson on your own *[Switches to Keasbey Nights]* It was the summer of 95 (so what!) In the backyard, shaving the old plies Feeling so strong (strong!), something went wrong (wrong!) Straight into my finger, what a stinger, it was so long I still remember that day, like the day that I said that I swear "I'll never hurt myself again", but it seems that I'm deemed to be wrong To be wrong, to be wrong Gotta keep holding on...they always played a slow song. When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk With a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest singing "My, my, my, how the time does fly, when you know you're going to die By the end of the night."

[x3] and said hey. HEY, HEY, HEY *[Back to Point/Counterpoint]* So I waited by the phone but that phone never rang and I sang so loud so I wouldn't hear the bang When the bang never came and I never got the call Fuck It! Thank You! I Love You All! Some are going to say that we're doomed to repeat all our past mistakes Great! But that's not me and even if it was I would always disagree Because in the end I always get the better of me I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock And my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked and I can't stop staring at the tick tock clock and even if I could I would never give up.

that's a very nice picture of mike brown
love that guy
I have to come here to listen to this version whenever I get to this point in Everything Goes Numb now
Here’s the entire lyrics from start to finish:
*[Point/Counterpoint]*
I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
My finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
and I can't stop staring at the tick tock clock
and even if I could I would never give up.
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung.
And if and when I die won't you bury me alone?
'Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song.
If there was something wrong would you be oh so strong?
Would you do what it takes to move this hollow life along?
I'd like to think I would, you know I'd like to think I would
but I can guarantee that what you see is not reality
and every time she makes a point, I make a counterpoint
She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice
and you know that's only just the way that it goes
You said it right man, That is just the way that it goes
And the days, and the days they seem like forever
And the days, and the days they seem like forever
But forever isn't ever enough!!
I'd like to sing a song
Promise you won't be long!
I'll try not to be long but I don't want to get this story wrong
There was a kid who never cared about the little things
Don't even bother because I'm tired and I'm sick of it
And every time she makes a point, I'll make a counterpoint!
She said It's easy but in the end you'll have no choice
And you know that's only just the way that it goes
You said it right man, that is just the way that it goes
I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
And my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
and I can't stop staring at the tick tock clock
and even if I could I would never give up.
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung.
And if and when I die won't you bury me alone?
'Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song.
Oh, you don't know where I've been!
Oh, you don't know what I've seen!
If I did something right
Would you give up this fight?
Would you say you were wrong and maybe someone else was kind of right
I'd like to think you would
You know I'd like to think you would
but I can't guarantee that what you get is an apology
Jump back to the day we met
I never thought that it would end this way
If ever I let you down I want to ask of you
To take it down a notch and we can talk it on through
And the days, and the days they seem like forever
And the days, and the days they seem like forever
But forever isn't ever enough!!
I'd like to sing a song
Promise you won't be long!
I'll try not to be long but I don't want to get this story wrong
There was a chick who never cared about the little things
Don't bother 'cause I still don't give a shit
And every time she makes a point, I'll make a counterpoint!
She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice
And you know that's only just the way that it goes
You said it right man, that is just the way that it goes
I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
And my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
and I can't stop staring at the tick tock clock
and even if I could I would never give up.
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung.
And if and when I die won't you bury me alone?
'Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song.
Oh, you don't know where I've been!
Oh, you don't know what I've seen!
So tell me friend, how's it going to end?
When the shit goes down and there's no one left around to get your back
You'll crack
You'll smile and agree with everything they say
They'll try to tell you that it's all okay
But it's not and you're shot and you're bleeding pretty bad
And you can't stop thinking about the things you never had
Like a wife and a kid and the things you never did
You're running around
You're living a life that's empty in the end, my friend
No, you'll take back all you've said
Oh, when the regrets fill your head
Trust me I've been there before
I would not wish it upon my greatest enemy
What irony!
Once friends, but I find
You'll have to learn this lesson on your own
*[Switches to Keasbey Nights]*
It was the summer of 95 (so what!)
In the backyard, shaving the old plies
Feeling so strong (strong!), something went wrong (wrong!)
Straight into my finger, what a stinger, it was so long
I still remember that day, like the day that I said that I swear
"I'll never hurt myself again", but it seems that I'm deemed to be wrong
To be wrong, to be wrong
Gotta keep holding on...they always played a slow song.
When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk
With a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest singing
"My, my, my, how the time does fly, when you know you're going to die
By the end of the night." And said hey
I still remember when we were young and fragile then.
No one gave a shit about us because times were tougher then.
Feeling so good (good!) cruisin’ the hood (hood!)
straight into the real world where rich kids never understood.
But I don't care.
I can fade away to anywhere don't stop
because you might get dropped
and if you do who's going to pick you up
well I won’t, well I won't...
they always played a slow song.
When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk
With a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest singing
"My, my, my, how the time does fly, when you know you're going to die
By the end of the night." And said hey
When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk
With a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest singing
"My, my, my, how the time does fly, when you know you're going to die
By the end of the night." [x3] and said hey. HEY, HEY, HEY
*[Back to Point/Counterpoint]*
So I waited by the phone but that phone never rang
and I sang so loud so I wouldn't hear the bang
When the bang never came and I never got the call
Fuck It! Thank You! I Love You All!
Some are going to say that we're doomed to repeat
all our past mistakes
Great!
But that's not me
and even if it was I would always disagree
Because in the end I always get the better of me
I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
And my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
and I can't stop staring at the tick tock clock
and even if I could I would never give up.
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung.
And if and when I die won't you bury me alone?
'Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song.
Oh, I'll take you where I've been!
Oh, I'll show you what I've seen!
not all heroes wear capes.

The compression makes this sound really really good, do you have a full album posted somewhere? Or maybe audacity instructions?
