Let's Do This
03:51
|
|||
Yeah we’ve come a long way
But we’re not at the end
If we stop we’re gonna pay
We got more energy to spend
Jump to the music
Pump to the music
Yeah we got nothing to lose
Wake up yeah don’t hit snooze
On your life no more
Get up off that floor
Yeah we got everything to gain
Throw down you know there’s gotta be some pain
Don’t give up so soon
Why don’t we go through with it
No more excuses
Come on now let’s do this!
I know it’s been hard
Some days you wanna give up
But we’ve come so far
So push on we must
Jump to the music
Pump to the music
You know what to do

Alright
04:27
|
|||
I’ve grown up right before your eyes
I hope I turned out alright
I know you did the best you could
But sometimes I feel I’m not good enough
I’ll be alright
Because I know I will not be left alone
Even when you’re gone your influence will remain
It never fades
I’ll be alright
Because I carry you inside
All those times I misbehaved stick around with me
I still don’t have a clue why I did those stupid things
But every mistake was a lesson
Another chance for a lecture session
Given so much - how can I repay?
When all I do is take away

Little Victories
03:43
|
|||
Filling up the tank at the edge of town
People there feeling a little down
Not a smile was seen on their faces
Not the most pleasant of places
A voice comes on the overhead speakers
Something about a good deal inside
I belted out a silly comment
I heard a chuckle and saw a smile
These are my little victories
Minor as they may seem
They help me know I’m doing alright
In this little game called life
These little victories are what I need
Having a hard time getting to sleep
Most likely due to that caffeine
Thoughts are racing through my head
I start writing lyrics on my bed
Something meaningful comes from nowhere
Something better than a blank stare
I know that these things aren’t always essential
But they help me out when I’m feeling down and unsure of myself

I'm Done
04:47
|
|||
I’m done with you making me weak
Your sheep, your lamb, your baby
I’m done with you playing your games
Name calling not solving when I feel shame
I’m done being afraid to speak
Everything I say can and will be used against me
Goodbye to the guilt trips
I’m starting my life - gonna write my own script
I’ve tried to be an honest man but when it hurts to tell the truth I sometimes can’t
That’s no excuse and I’ll take the fall but it’s not like you helped at all
4 months with it pent up inside but it felt more secure to let it hide
But if I don’t cry I don’t care - tell me how that is fair
Place me on a team with all your foes cause I know someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows
What happened in the past you say it’s gone forever but I think I know better
When you look at me you see another you, I know you rocked the boat a time or two
I know that I wasn’t easy to trust but I trusted you to be the one who was
You put yourself up on a pedestal and but let me down and you made me skeptical
It is now time to for me to shine I’m sorry it’ll hurt you but I’ll be fine
I may make mistakes but at least they’re mine

Waste Us A Day
03:43
|
|||
Feeling like I’m drownin’ feeling tied down and I just need a break from all this give and take, hey yeah
Feeling on the low-down need a pick me up now – I know the solution for an emotion resolution, hey yeah
No need for a complex formula – I can weather any storm with ya
You know we got it clicking when we go and get to picking what we’re gonna do
There ain’t a need for tricks and you know it’ll get to fixin’ this down and out mood
I wanna
Waste a couple days – what do you say?
We can hit the road or stay close to home
We can run away much to the dismay of the people who knew the old me and you
We will just do what we do
Let’s waste us a day or two
When everything around makes me unwound I can be assured that my sanity is secured, hey yeah
Don’t gotta force things – you know that’s how the worse things spring up and bring up that stuff that can sting, hey yeah

Pigs
03:49
|
|||
Putting our snouts where we don’t belong
Smells so good but it’s all so wrong
We love it when we’re dirty, we hate it when we’re caught
We’re kicking and we’re squealing when we don’t get what we want
Scared stiff – like a field of wheat
Running to our puddles when we can’t take the heat
We treat them like meat but it never seems to work
When will we see that we’re the pork? – We’re all a bunch of pigs
Feeding on what we can
Snorting up life but not taking it in
Can’t swim – staying in the shallows
Full of ourselves but oh so hollow
We’re sloppy – We’re snide
Caged in by our pride
Safe in our pen that we say we’re not in
We’re all a bunch of pigs
The vegetation’s better on the other side
The melons that they’re feeding us aren’t the right size
We spit them out before we digest
A disgusting show of disrespect
Think we got the world in our hands
But our hands are hooves and we can’t understand
It slips right through and we’re left to forage
We are homeless sausages
We try to convince ’em that we’re so amusing but we’re just a boar
Put up facades to hide our undoing but you can’t fake joy
Like the folks we look up to and the generations before
We got a deep searing in our greasy loins

Gets To Me
03:42
|
|||
Oh I was flying high, was doin’ alright
Thought I had it figured out
Saw the signs but shoved them aside
And look at me now
Gripping on the steering wheel
Trying to keep it together
I know I will, yeah I know how I feel
But I don’t want to be better
It gets to me, it makes me think
Which goes too far and digs too deep
Blood on the hands of someone else
But I run around, blaming my self
I know it won’t always get me down
But it gets to me now
There’s a solace in sadness and a comfort in madness
That draws me in
I don’t need help, I’ll do this myself
I’ll take it on the chin
Putting that smile on my face
Trying to keep it together
I know I will, but it ain’t a race
Yeah I’m slowly getting better
Yeah it gets to me
But it’s getting better
And it’s hard to see
But it’s getting better
Yes I know it won’t be forever
So here I am until I get better

Someone Out There
03:27
|
|||
Walking through a world that’s hard to understand
Need someone to take my hand and show me what’s going on
It’s hard to tackle these problems all alone
It’s hard to decipher what I’m being shown; it seems I’m always getting it wrong
So be a voice and be a guide in troubled times be at my side
Help me to beware
Those dodgy words and empty lines it’s good to know that in these times
That someone cares – yeah there’s someone out there
Always nice to have a shoulder on which to lean
When the world around turns all mean like it does so much
When I’m not sure who to believe
When I can’t tell if the problem’s them or me it’s nice to know there’s someone I can trust
I never thought that I would be the one to cry out for help
I always thought that I would be the one to do it myself
I never thought that I would be the one who wouldn’t understand
I always thought that I would be the one to lend that hand

What's Up With That?
03:41
|
|||
Can you see down this road we’re headed?
We freed the beast and then we fed it
Running as one in a raging pack
Man, what’s up with that?
We live for short term satisfaction
Think it will last but it never happens
In too deep in this endless trap
Man, what’s up with that?
We train ourselves to be miserable
It’s too late when we get old
To rewind the track
Looking back at a sea of mistakes
No erasing, no escape
We’ve already set our path
What’s up with that?
Never satiated, never content
We always want more than what we get
So ungrateful for what we have
Man, what’s up with that?
It’s a race without a winner
The more we try our hope gets dimmer
We try to get out before it fades to black
Man, what’s up with that?
Why are we so image obsessed?
We shouldn’t have to live to impress
We’re all being put to the test
So break free

On The Line
04:03
|
|||
Wide awake in the middle of the night
Feels you can’t do anything right
Been giving back, but getting flack
Seems you always get stabbed in the back
People everywhere, but not a soul that cares
Always on the attack
But through the mist and air so thick
1 or 2 brave ones willing to endure
The wrath of the masses just to make sure
That you’re ok, that you’ll be fine
1 or 2 days may come and go
Without food but you always know
You will be rescued in time
When it’s all on the line
Spiraling around in an endless rage
Sacrifice that’s never repaid
Seems no use, all the abuse
Just to get nowhere
Caught in despair, but no one cares
It just doesn’t seem fair
But just when you feel sick of it
1 or 2 brave ones willing to endure
The wrath of the masses just to make sure
That you’re ok, that you’ll be fine
1 or 2 days may come and go
Without food but you always know
You will be rescued in time
When it’s all on the line
The morning dawn comes as surely as before
Is it the same, or is there something more?
The flicker of these new rays of light
Say things are looking bright
3 or 4 brave ones willing to endure
The wrath of the masses just to make sure
That you’re ok, that you’ll be fine
1 or 2 days may come and go
Without food but you always know
You will be rescued in time

Backwards
04:10
|
|||
Think you can get away with all the things you’ve done
Think I’m too spineless and weak willed too
Don’t think you can just say things and run
Don’t act surprised when someone does the same to you
Put me down and made me doubt
Just how is that working out?
You made your choice and I made mine
Tried to warn you but you made up your mind
You said you’d change but that just trashed it
You’re not supposed to turn to plastic
Yeah I’m moving on, so long
Now I’m on the mend while you’re moving backwards
Call me arrogant and cut me down again
When I’m just trying to look out for you
Make me feel like the problem is in my hands
But it’s time you realized what I’ve come to know is true
Took me too long to wake up to your games
You’ll continue and that’s a shame
But I won’t let you tear me down
Cause I’m done trying to work things out
I’m fed up – I’m not taking the fall again
You messed up – This is as far as I will bend
I’m fed up – I’m not taking the fall again
You messed up – Now deal with it my friend

Fooling Myself
04:26
|
|||
Doing well or so I think
Troubles seem to be behind me
But I might be on the tower a little too high
Long way down and I can’t fly
Always seems that I
Tell myself that I’m changing
Turn around I’m doing the same things, I
Hope I’m fine but I can’t tell
Tell myself that I’m not like before
That I’m not falling short
But I’m not that sure
Cuz maybe I’m fooling myself
Took for granted the path I walked
Wasn’t expecting to veer off
Too caught up to find my way
Hard to make it through the grey
Finding my way back or maybe I’m misguided

The River's Run Dry
04:10
|
|||
I just gotta get something off my chest
It isn't like me to up and protest
But you're not getting anything from me
The last thing you need is my sympathy
Your crying
Ain't flying
Not working
With me
Try to make me regurgitate
Anything you want me to say
Cast the line and hope for a bite
Not now - the lake is empty and the river's run dry
Say what you know is false to get a reaction
Try to make up for what is lacking
This only postpones the problem
Soon some fresh tears will be falling
Dry your tears because I won't do it
You don't need any false reassurance
I'm sick of hearing all your fits
I'm not falling for those tricks
I am the one that got away

Roll On By
04:04
|
|||
People saying what you know isn’t true
Somehow it becomes attached to you
Don’t let it
They say you’re wrong and that’s a fact you know
But since when were they the ones to follow
I don’t see it
Complaining won’t make the chatter end
It’s gonna stay a while
You’re going have to endure it
And let it roll on by
Roll on by
Like a wheel dislodged from a bicycle (ball of yarn becoming unspooled)
Roll on by
Like that guy on a skateboard who thinks he’s cool
Roll on by
Don’t you let that outside stuff get too ya
Make it pass right through ya
Let it roll on by
When you put so much into someone
And they fail to return half the things you’ve done
Seems heartless
But if you feel like giving them a little taste
Of what they do, that would be a waste
It’s fruitless
Stooping won’t make the nonsense end
It’s gonna stay a while
You’re going have to endure it
And let it roll on by
