Quote:"I think the time has come in our career to take the next step. I think that our first four albums represent a chapter of our career. There is no better way that I can think of to close that chapter than with a record of our best songs thus far" - Vin Peters
It was released today that Reported Failure is seeking to make a best of record. It is meant to be a double disc album. Disc one will include a few tracks from each of Reported Failure's albums.

Everything We've Done
We’re all, we’re all gone.
We’re hiding from something.
Please come into the light
Will it be alright?
They say weve destroyed the world of post-black and white
And were just here to pick fights
The bottlenecks done and were whats left behind
We’re just pissed off kids who call ourselves punk rock
You’ve kicked our arrogant asses out so many times
Because your head hurts and we left a mess behind
What are we?
Yea we’re a catastrophe
For making ourselves, weve dug ourselves in the dirt
Were stuck in endless cycles
Of wild mood swings but do we even want to get out
Maybe we’ve found ourselves?
I screw with what you know
I’d fuck you all if given the chance
I’m irresponsible
But I’ll make it
Yea we’re a catastrophe
For making ourselves, weve dug ourselves in the dirt
Were stuck in endless cycles
Of wild mood swings but do we even want to get out
Maybe we’ve found ourselves?
Catastrophe…
We are a post-grunge catastrophe
Making a scene while your city sleeps
We’ve found our home now
Manufactured Radio
Lyrics - [Beckett/Collins/Peters]
You got soul
Hidden in this remote control
you turn it on (off on off on off on off)
you got style
With your skin tight jeans
And your angsty graphic t-shirt
you take it off (on off on off on off on)
So when you walk down the street, hope you know youre doin it for me
And that voice in the back of your head, that’s me
And your words, I wrote them for you
So you can be the radio
What happened… to anything
you swear it wasn’t like this just the other day
What happened to living?
And being something just so you could say
“I’ll go my own way”
You got beat
Through some digital screen
You turn it on (Off on off on off on off)
You got licks
Through your guitar picks
You stroke it up (down up down up down up down)
So when you breathe fuck or sleep I hope you know that youre doin it for me
Every note you’ve sang, that was me
And your words, I wrote them for you
So you can be the radio
What happened… to anything
you swear it wasn’t like this just the other day
What happened to living?
And being something just so you could say
“I’ll go my own way”
Though you try (try try try try try try)
You cant escape me
I am the mafia
I am the radio
I am Sirius top 40 hits
I am the radio
I am the radio
I am the fucking radio
What happened… to anything
you swear it wasn’t like this just the other day
What happened to living?
And being something just so you could say
“I’ll go my own way”
I am the fucking radio
Let's Run
Lyrics – [Beckett/Peters]
Are we losing control?
Are we losing control?
Are we losing control?
Are you losing control?
Can we live through this life?
Were we just born to die?
Wars keep raging I can’t stop them
People keep cryin. I can’t comfort them
But in the nuclear winter I’ll be coming to save you
When it all dies out I just want to be with you
Let’s run.
To a place that time left behind
Where we never reach ‘79
Where our dreams are less confined
Are we killing a hope?
Are we killing a dream?
Are we killing ourselves?
Are we killing the scene?
Can we challenge ourselves
To make a better life?
Stores keep closing. I can’t stop it
Friends keep leaving. I can’t keep them
But when we don’t break even I’ll be holding your hand
Until we find a better land
Let’s run.
To a place that time left behind
Where we never reach ‘79
Where our dreams are less confined
Let’s run.
To a place that time left behind
Where we never reach ‘79
Where our dreams are less confined
Testimony
When the world ends, we'll still be fihgting
Screaming and yelling, but no one hears a word
We'll be standing on the rooftops
We'll be watching to see a friendly face
Before we all burn in hell, I hope someone remembers my face
As I screamed my testimony from the rooftop
As I jumped my life away to prove a point
My last words remained unwritten
The memory of me, already fading away
When the sky turns black from the bombs
The world will see the scars they've made
They'll be sitting in their lifeboats
Crying for the hope of another day
Before they all burn in hell, I hope someone remembers my face
As I screamed my testimony from the rooftop
As I jumped my life away to prove a point
My last words remained unwritten
The memory of me, already fading away
When we arrive, there wont be anyone to drown out your thunder
People will see who they really are
When we arrive there wont be anyone for you to hide under
Your world will fall with the one you've destroyed
As I screamed my testimony from the rooftop
As I jumped my life away to prove a point
My last words remained unwritten
The memory of me, already fading away
The Call (Previously Unreleased)
I said you could run (run)
I said you could run (run)
I said you could run (run)
Away with me
You don't have to think
You just have to be
On this dead beat road with me
We wont have to hide
We wont have to hide
We wont have to hide
But I'll answer the call
to leave part of myself here
I'll keep you in my heart
But I can't breathe until next year
All the stories we swore we'd tell
I never thought that they'd be tragedies
But I'll answer the call
I'll answer the call
We would run on the sands of the ocean
We would sing until our lungs gave out
We'd lye there until the tide came to take us
The headlines would read "Lovers Dead At Sea"
You don't have to think
You just have to be
On this dead beat road with me
We wont have to hide
We wont have to hide
We wont have to hide
But I'll answer the call
to leave part of myself here
I'll keep you in my heart
But I can't breathe until next year
All the stories we swore we'd tell
I never thought that they'd be tragedies
But I'll answer the call
I'll answer the call
My Shotgun Fairytale (Previously Unreleased)
I got myself in a mess
I burn it out with cigarettes
I dream about a lifetime of hate
I find my life inside glass
On display, everyone laughs
I sink into infinite tragedies
I'm the villain in all of your disney stories
I deceive
I fight
I scheme
You bleed
But I can't stop...
My shotgun fairytale
I guess I should be turning away now
I guess I shouldn't be
Just another mindless fake ID
My shotgun fairytale
I guess I should be fixin' it up now
I guess I shouldn't be
Just another faceless statistic
I lie so much I cannot help
but deceiving even myself
I know one day it will catch up with me
I now defy the laws
of everyone I meet
I give everyone a reason to hate
I'm the villain in all of your disney stories
I deceive
I fight
I scheme
You bleed
But I can't stop...
My shotgun fairytale
I guess I should be turning away now
I guess I shouldn't be
Just another mindless fake ID
My shotgun fairytale
I guess I should be fixin' it up now
I guess I shouldn't be
Just another faceless statistic
Hope To Get Out
This life is broken, dusty and cold
My hands are weak and I'm growing old
I wish we could drive slower
But there's a show waitin' for us in mexico
Maybe some day I'll buy a home
Settle down, start a family, and I wont have to roam
I wish we could drive slower
But there's a show waitin' for us in mexico
Say your prayers for anything
Hope that I find my way out
Please tell me that i'm something to believe in
Lie until you catch fire
Give me any hope that I wont always be leavin'
It's my only hope to get out
This road is long and uninviting
Calls to home find not but crying
I wish we could stop the circus
But the elephant in the room is a big old hit
All these miles only bring me trouble
Making it harder when I return to find the rubble
I wish we could stop the circus
But the elephant in the room is a big old hit
Say your prayers for anything
Hope that I find my way out
Please tell me that i'm something to believe in
Lie until you catch fire
Give me any hope that I wont always be leavin'
It's my only hope to get out
I swear I'll break free
I wont desert me
I've got myself in the mud
All high on the drugs
I am a wreck of a man
I've got myself in the mud
Playing games with the thugs
I am a disgrace to my band
Say your prayers for anything
Hope that I find my way out
Please tell me that i'm something to believe in
Lie until you catch fire
Give me any hope that I wont always be leavin'
It's my only hope to get out
