I want to play Where the good things are Until I realize they’re Spread to far Stuck in a rut Everywhere at once Treading forward To nowhere at all Threshold Are you on my level Are you heavy mental? Are you on a sailing train Difference Is there any difference Maybe there’s a slight chance That we’re onto something new? And I saw you Dying to be a child All the way down We Fall into the sun Lonely as I am My thoughts ain’t dead and broken Feeling as I feel I won’t be softly spoken This a calling I am expanding, sprawling Dawn of the dusk of Regressive situations Special Every day is special Especially special And you know it’s Just like you Hubris You know you can do this Or will you just screw this Up, well at least you tried And I saw you Dying to be a child All the way down We Fall into the sun

I don’t care if I sing in key That’s how much you mean to me I don’t mind the waste of time But I won’t forever be this blind Party didn’t come home last night She was spinning out but it’s allright Drained with no philosophy This thing we have will cease to be Burnout you still hold my mind Crush this feeling press rewind Party didn’t come home last night She was spinning out but it’s allright Its allright, it’s allright, it’s allright Its allright, it’s allright, it’s allright Its allright, it’s allright, it’s allright I will wait for you forever Or at least until I get bored Can you show me the door To the house of whores? You slam it in my face I don’t care if I sing in key That’s how much you mean to me I don’t mind the waste of time But I won’t forever be this blind Party didn’t come home last night She was spinning out but it’s allright Drained with no philosophy This thing we have will cease to be Burnout you still hold my mind Crush this feeling press rewind Party didn’t come home last night She was spinning out but it’s allright Its allright, it’s allright, it’s allright Its allright, it’s allright, it’s allright Its allright, it’s allright, it’s allright I will wait for you forever Or at least until I get bored Can you show me the door To the house of whores? You slam it in my face I don’t care if I sing in key That’s how much you mean to me I don’t mind the waste of time But I won’t forever be this blind Party didn’t come home last night She was spinning out but it’s allright Its allright, it’s allright, it’s allright Its allright, it’s allright, it’s allright Its allright, it’s allright, it’s allright

Dead Radio 03:09
I know there’s nothing I can say To make it go back to the way It never was, and will never be Still there’s a hope within my mind Your patience is running out of time Nobody else can give you what I have Absolutely nothing I never really had a chance (to make it) I never really had a chance I’m listening to a dead radio I’m listening to a dead radio I’m listening to a dead radio Yeah, you killed my stereo You turned my heart too loud This sentence troubles me the most We’re doomed to never be the toast Of everyone that is in our lives Maybe we’re better as we are Your arms are folded in my car We’re on the same page in a different book And no one’s gonna read ‘em I never really had a chance (to make it) I never really had a chance I’m listening to a dead radio I’m listening to a dead radio I’m listening to a dead radio Yeah, you killed my stereo You turned my heart too loud

Has it come to this? I do believe it has Slip yourself into my heart now The present and the past I got a story for you Tell me, what’s your name? Should I tell it to you Or just nod and play the game? Try to turn this off I dare you Baby we got time We are animal And you’re my love I’m sincerely yours tonight There’s no law against Being an idiot And that’s how feel When you’re in my eyes Just gotta get you alone It’s harder than it seems We’re with our circle of friends I just wanna scream Try to turn this off I dare you Baby we got time We are animal And you’re my love I’m sincerely yours tonight

I’m sick of the dogs Barking at nothing Although I relate I’m a clog in the blogs When I’m slashin’ the hype wheels Turning to a dead end street Or is it because It’s not about me yet? But they’ll see yet The armor of jest It protects me When I need it It’s all of the time Especially these days These days… I’ve got non-descript rage Against an indeterminate Machine And I know what I’m gonna do But there’s no sense in telling you Surrounding myself With anyone open Sometimes they only seem that way Tell me your swipes Are only joking But I know you better than that You aren’t release You are attack girl I’m barking up the wrong remedy tree Because It starts with me It starts with love From me to me If I can make you laugh Will you set me free? An unconditional love I can’t give me If I can make you laugh Will you set me free? How you gonna say Everything’s OK With a frown across your face? You can’t convince yourself Take it out on me Defenseless as can be Except for what I’ve learned From tragic comedy The chuckle boils Inside your mind

Told her I was feeling lost But yet I didn’t know why She said “no need to feel that way, just look into my eyes.” And I did, but not for long, because we closed them very swift: for I knew that all this meant was that we had to share a kiss. And we did and I never felt more right. Until I woke up in my room, wings cut from all the flight Wait up, wait up, wait up Please don’t wake me from this dream Wait up, wait up, wait up I’ll just try to go back to sleep Wait up, wait up, wait up Please don’t wake me from this dream Catching the tides we used to ride I’ll just try to go back to sleep Remember how we used to Play in a disco band? Told you how we used to cry And dance across the sand? You said I was familiar Like any other day You didn’t seem to recall our love But you liked it anyway I said “that’s fine with me girl Let’s get you out of the rain” But the rain stopped when the dawn came And you no longer me The first thing that you ever learn Is that life is but a dream You can’t always have decisions When nothing’s what it seems I can’t even tell what’s real anymore The sleeping’s the pattern, the living’s the bore So don’t wake up from this dream Don’t wake up From this dream

Look inside There’s a dullness Look around Ensnared in the sound Had a dream Try to write it down Say your prayers Or just forget it all Sleeping in the bright I’m cooling down Everything is fine But what am I? Try to slip away As comfort wanes I’m gone (WOOOO ooo) I know it’s wrong Mindless shells Wander around town And I’m one But I’ve seen my skin My defense Is a shotgun shell Split the air It’s a cleansing spell Chasing out the lights I’m guessing how Gotta make a stand If not then, now Staring at the wall My mind projects Foaming at the mouth Is too much work I’m gone (WOOO oooo) It’s been too long WE WON’T BE LEFT 4 DEAD.

Smoke a cigarette Take a picture Stare at ourselves in the mirror Circular thought Is such a vacant fixture Stay up all night with the hipster tripster Having lots of fun in Paris, Arizona Miles away from Target, Minnesota Resentment tastes good with sandwiches and soda Running somewhere then you don’t know why you showed up I might have said something honest last night But I honestly I can’t remember So many people, so many people You don’t know And you won’t know Hook yourself to the pixel scripture Feeling online with a simple liquor Signing up for things you probably shouldn’t Only do it now cause normally you wouldn’t Who is it for? The senses you’re denying Who’s eroded frame do you think you’re buying? Constantly trying to take a perfect picture Stay up all night with the hipster tripster I might have said something honest last night But I honestly I can’t remember So many people, so many people You don’t know And you won’t know

He’s on the cover of Tiger Heat All the ladies think he’s sweet Girls want to get with him And the guys are just confused I think I see him all dressed in black With Party City fangs he’s waiting to attack He’s as American as apple pie And bungee jumping too Teen Atheist Dreamboat USA (He don’t believe in God) (Strikes me as kind of odd) His name is danger, don’t get it confused He’s got a chef to always make him food He’s tough as nails, he’ll beat up your mom He’s got the finest china, and his blow is the bomb He’s fundamentally loathsome But he’s so cool he’s never lonesome I wanna be like him You wanna be like shim You wanna be a star-ar-ar!!! Teen Atheist Dreamboat USA (He don’t believe in God) (Strikes me as kind of odd) He’s gonna be a star He’s gonna be a star He’s gonna be just like you are He’s gonna be a star He’s gonna be a star He is the everyman He’s gonna be in your house Taking pictures and fucking your mouth Because he is a Satanist and he rolls like that But he’s not a Satanist because that doesn’t make any sense He’s not a Satanist it don’t make any sense He’s not a Satanist that don’t make any sense Because he don’t believe in God He don’t Believe in God Teen Atheist Dreamboat USA (He don’t believe in God) (Strikes me as kind of odd)

Play, only feel the hide Kandi Clubbers waiting to dive Inspire touch Sink to swim Am I above it or falling in? Glow I spy with my little eye Recipe for me to die Just enough The way I do How could you ask me to Glow again? Where the teeth glow Where the teeth glow I want nothing more than to rip your soul apart Where the teeth glow Where the teeth glow Just like good ‘ole Napoleon Bonaparte Where the teeth glow Where the teeth glow In the place where nothing could be any better Where the teeth glow Where the teeth glow And we gnash until we crash, you know the reason Where the teeth glow Where the teeth glow My heart is beating, breaking like a kick drum Where the teeth glow Where the teeth glow Swaying phantom feet on purpose accidently Where the teeth glow Where the teeth glow Though the cost is lost it spares no true expenses Where the teeth glow Where the teeth glow If the price is life than I don’t want to pay But I’m tempted to play Feel yourself only to conceal yourself from what is true Kill yourself or your reveal yourself You’ve sunk anyway

See the cobwebs See the cobwebs shake Spiders just wanna kick it Face your fears now See the cartel flee Taking off with the surplus Take the time to Realign in tune Get it all back to you See how they run See how they fly You’ve severed ties Now cut the lines And let it die Someday you will find It’ll fall in shape In time You will see Design fate Brinked out to explode Currents overload Currency is nullified Cut off all supply How will you get high? That’s your problem Not mine I won’t shed one tear Far away from here Separation Civillized See how they run Your will is done Possess your soul Connect the whole And let it go Someday You will find The shape of your voice Within Your own mind Divine space

about

The debut LP of No Jet Left, the long-awaited follow up to their 2008 EP "Now You're All Fucked." Schmidt began writing for Whippersnapper immediately after the release of the EP. The LP took three years to record because of lineup changes, college, and extensive vetting of songs. No Jet Left became the power trio that produced this record in early 2010, and began gigging constantly. This experimental yet confident album is the product of the band's hunger for creation...and world domination.
