    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!

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