The Bars Lyrics

Sunken eyes and strangers' faces
I fall asleep in the strangest places
What the hell am I doing?
Where have my friends gone?
Can't stand these people no more
But you cannot leave when you can't find the door
Smashed my phone, lost my wallet
Who's this new friend of mine?

Why do some people make you nervous
And others drive you to drink when the bars are closing?


Nightstand memorial to past libation
A sudden fear of phone vibrations
Too hung over to sleep
Too tired to stay alive
Benzos, bile, and bills
There's so much missing time to kill
I shake like an airplane on its way down


Why do some people make you nervous
And others drive you to drink when the bars are closing?
When the bars are closing
J
No good'll come from stumbling home with the sun
No good'll come from stumbling home with the sun
I used to care
Now I stare into the sunken eyes and strangers' faces
I fall asleep in the strangest places
What the hell am I doing?
Where have my friends gone?

Why do some people make you nervous
And others drive you to drink when the bars are closing?
When the bars are closing

The Menzingers originally formed after the dissolution of Bob And The Sagets, a band local to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area of Pennsylvania. With the addition of Greg Barnett the band recorded a demo/self-released album "A Lesson In The Abuse Of Information Technology" in 2006.

Shortly thereafter they were signed by Go-Kart Records and re-recorded the songs from "A Lesson" and re-released their album with the addition of some new tracks.

At the Fest VII in Gainesville, FL they were approached by Brendan Kelly of The Lawrence Arms and subsequently signed to Red Scare Industries.

They released their Red Scare debut EP "Hold On, Dodge" in 2009.

In April 2010, Chamberlain Waits was released, through Red Scare Records. In March and April they also toured in support of Against Me!.

On May 17, 2011 they announced that they had signed to Epitaph Records. Brett Gurewitz, founder of Epitaph Records and guitarist of Bad Religion said this about the signing of the band:
"These guys play the kind of pure punk rock that I grew up with. They are seriously talented songwriters and I'm happy to welcome them to the Epitaph family. I think the band is a great fit here."

They released their third full length album, On The Impossible Past, on February 21, 2012 via Epitaph Records.

The band currently lives in South Philadelphia, PA.
