Check the replies to see some rough, first draft lyrics for a new Blink 182 song which Mark Hoppus posted on his Facebook profile. He says they are for a "fast, Apple Shampoo-ish jam".
Ha!! You are all correct. The handwriting is terrible. But there's a good reason for that. I write everything down as fast as I can so I don't forget the ideas. Then I go back and change individual words or lines. That's why some are crossed out or moved around. I never really know what a song means until it's done. This one is the fast Apple Shampoo-ish jam. Still needs a second verse, which I will work on later.
The taste of blood
We fell in love by the snog of the radio
The ___you cut
Your smoker lungs are the death of us all
But you only care about
Lost _______
Watching_____
And what does that last line say? Buy your hogar? or is that supposed to be heart?
Ok this is really annoying trying to read, how did he learn how to write in all capital letters??
I'll be the first to say I'm kinda bummed out they're still writing
yeah, i hear ya. im stoked that theyre going for an old sound and new sound though. since they said this is an apple shampooish thing, and then tom was mentioning the other, more progressive influences.

I think it's:
"The veins you cut"
"But you only care about fame and fortune"
"Lost in your own reflection"
The Taste of Blood
We fell in love by the side of the road
This desert will break you down
The veins you cut
Your Smoking Lungs are the death of us all
But you only care about
Fame and fortune
Lost in your own reflection
Watching others Torture is
Gruesome stares perfection
This is the last time
Sent to the front line
Your dirty boots on the ground
I finally made it all up
You seem so sweet at the start
But the starts an end
You say you speak from your heart
But your hearts all gone
But your hearts all gone
these are pretty much it. I think
And I guess they are writing the songs individually, so like work on the whole of one song and then get that pretty much done and go onto another, I suppose you can when you don't have to pay for recording time and can just do it every day.
So the instrumentation is probably done for this song, just now starting on lyrics/vocals.
yea sad that theyre still writing. hope they'll just come up with a true estimate for the release instead of constantly trying to keep the release hype with misleading promises since 09. certainly looks like summer release is impossible. any truthful news from them would be great right now
