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

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
5.
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

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
7.
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
9.
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
10.
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
11.
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
12.
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
13.
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
14.
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
15.
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
