The In-Between

Well I'm kinda on the fence darling
Yea I wanted you but it wears off
Now I see your picture in my news feed
I get a bitter taste in my mouth
We shoulda been together
But you had other things on your mind
Too self induldged with your intrest in the mirror
And what the reflection hides
And I'm tired of waiting around while you decide....

So tell me what you need darling
More time to think? Do you need another drink?
Feeling like a puppet on a string yelling, "Play with Me"
Yeah, I'm trying to take you home with me
You know I still believe darling
Give me a little wink that's all I need
You gotta give me something I can hope for
Something I can hold onto while I bleed
In the In-between
In the In-between
I'm held captive
Somewhere between You and Me

So tell me what you think baby?
You been hot and cold with me lately
All this playing hot patato & monkey in the middle
With your heart's driving me crazy
You the type of girl I wanna come home daily to
Blow kisses when I leave and bring food home to
When I tell you I got you believe that shit
There's nothing off the tabel and I mean that shit

So tell me what you need darling
More time to think? Do you need another drink?
Feeling like a puppet on a string yelling, "Play with Me"
Yeah, I'm trying to take you home with me
You know I still believe darling
Give me a little wink that's all I need
You gotta give me something I can hope for
Something I can hold onto while I bleed
In the In-between
In the In-between
I'm held captive
Somewhere between You and Me
Bleeding in the In-between
In the In-between
I'm held captive
Somewhere between You and Me

Magic

This feels familiar
I know I've been here
But your face looks different
From what I remember
But your eyes are the same
It takes me back to the day
Our world ended..
We were sitting on the bridge
Holding hands, waiting for the flash
Remember? I asked you to dance
You said that you were scared
So I gave you a kiss
And promised to find you in the life after this

I swear that I've known you from a past life
In a different world way across the skies
And I've traveled a thousand years
But I'm here now.. I finally found you

It feels like Magic
Oh I swear that it's Magic
It's like I won the lottery
I've got this bubbly feeling on top of me
I just can't describe it
It feels like Magic

I thank the stars for guiding me
To where you are, no where I'd rather be
You are the only one, and as far as I'm concerned
You are my galexy
I mean when you think of the chances
And what all has to happen
For 2 people to have this
Rare connection and passion
At the same time exactly
A chemical reaction
No I don't have all the answers
But I know that I found you
And that's all that matters

I swear that I've known you from a past life
In a different world way across the skies
And I've traveled a thousand years
But I'm here now.. I finally found you

It feels like Magic
Oh I swear that it's Magic
It's like I won the lottery
I've got this bubbly feeling on top of me
I just can't describe it
It feels like Magic
Ohh it's fantastic
No, I don't have all the answers
But I know that I found you
And that's all that matters
It's just our Magic

Neon

I told ya, I aint trying to lie
I'm only trying to have a good time
And I warned ya, don't cross the line
Cause my love will set you on fire
She threw back that red hat
Told me she's the one thats gonna change that
I said, "You gotta be amazing to amaze me.. and just the right amount of crazy."
She said she's got that, she's the real deal, no bullshit
Wrote her number down on a napkin
Said I'll be head over heals in a week flat
She tipped her hat and she was gone again
Dissapeared by the fog machine
Called the number that she gave me
But it was dissconnected...

I lost her in the Neon, Neon, Neon
I looked up and she's gone, she's gone, she's gone
Dissapeared into the Neon, Neon, Neon
Looking for someone to lean on

Two weeks later she's sill in my head
Driving back to the club we met
Asking the bartender, "Remember the girl in red?"
"We we're sitting in the booth right there around 10pm."
He said, "Sorry man, I don't recall
I see people everyday coming in and out
But I can tell you one thing, if you aint found her by now...

I lost her in the Neon, Neon, Neon
I looked up and she's gone, she's gone, she's gone
Dissapeared into the Neon, Neon, Neon
Looking for someone to lean on

That Town

From time to time work requires me to drive south
I take the secenic route so I can pass your old house, and think about
All the days we smoked out, that yellow couch
We were laughing while we're stressed out, but thats hard now
I remember it was cold out
We went drinking while we're shopping
In a HEB parking lot, heater on, fogging out the windows
Til the manager saw us
Man... I haven't laughed about that since August

But Everytime I drive through that town...
It all comes back now..

All the road signs
I litterly can't drive by without thinking of you
Even the green lights
Resemble your eyes
Everything in this town reminds me of you
So I'm no longer passing through..
No matter how bad I want too
I'll find an alternate route.. somewhere..
Hand me the map down there.

There are songs I can't listen to
Some of my favorites too
All because the pain takes me back
To never holding you
Or crying in the drive-through
At the Wendys where I met you
I have trouble ordering
When your favorites on the menu

But Everytime I pass through that town...
I'm reminded how..

All the road signs
I litterly can't drive by without thinking of you
Even the green lights
Resemble your eyes
Everything in this town reminds me of you
I'm having trouble passing through
I know I said I wasn't going too
I'm headed strait towards you
Hey, there's the gym you used to use

Woke up at 5am this morning for some reason and this is what came out. 

If She Wanted To... She Would...

Well I've been chasing ghosts
Down a dead end road
My fuel level's low
But I only go for the Gold
I saw her in my dreams
I thought it was sealed for sure
It's still hard to believe
That I was wrong about her

I think it's time to move on
I've been wasting too much time trying to open a locked door
She must have read my mind while playing the right chords
For me to be this torn
And staring at this Hotel door, from the floor, only reminds me
If She Wanted To... She Would

Tell me why
It's always better in my head
2 hours after, I think of what I should of said
What a disaster, I'm not surprised she left
I forgot to ask her, does it even matter?

I think it's time to move on
I've been wasting too much time trying to open a locked door
She must have read my mind while playing the right chords
For me to be this torn
And staring at this Hotel door, from the floor, only reminds me
If She Wanted To... She Would

If She Wanted To... She Would ~
But clearly she don't....
And she won't....
And that's hard to accept...
But I'm tired of sitting on the steps by myself..

I think it's time to move on
I've been wasting too much time trying to open a locked door
She must have read my mind while playing the right chords
For me to be this torn
And staring at this Hotel door, from the floor, only reminds me
If She Wanted To... She Would

He Loves You Better

I heard your back with him
From a mutual friend
I saw the pics online
And I can tell from your smile
That you're happy again
This will hurt for a while
But it's good to see you smiling..

I'm sorry for all of the pain that I caused
If it makes you feel any better, I regret you the most
I've been reading old letters you left in my notebook
God, I hope who I end up with is just like you.. or close to it..

I know I could of tried harder to love you
I'm sorry, darlin, you were such a good person
It's hurts me just knowing you have a new lover
But I know we wern't meant for each other
I hope he loves you better..

I hope he keeps you safe
I can tell that he will
From his eyes in the picture
And the way that he holds your waist
You've got a good man...
Maybe this was God's Plan...
I just want you to know..
You'll Forever be the one that I will never forget...

I'm sorry for all of the pain that I caused
If it makes you feel any better, I regret you the most
I've been reading old letters you left in my notebook
God, I hope who I end up with is just like you.. or close to it..

I know I could of tried harder to love you
Honestly I'm sorry, you were such a good person
It's hurts me just knowing you have a new lover
But I know we wern't meant for each other
I hope he loves you better..

What It'd Be Like

I often wonder what it'd be like
To hold you by the waistline,
Run my fingers through your hair line,
Or kiss you on the forehead, "baby it's alright"
I wonder what it feels like
To dress up for date night,
Hold you through the moonlight,
To wake up to just you and the sunrise.

Maybe I'm dreaming,
But I can't stop picturing how things could be,
Got me all out of focus, running through the motions, of who I used to be
And I don't wanna be that guy
I know it's the wrong time
But that doesn't change the fact, I can't stop thinking about..

What it'd be like~
To hold you close, and call you mine
What it'd feel like~
To be the one that lights your eyes
What would it look like~
Leaving little notes for you to find
Ohh the things I'd do if you were mine
I dream of What It'd Be Like~

Seeing your name carved next to mine
Into the bark of an old pine
with a little heart and a forever sign
I get chills when I think about it
There's potential all around us
Everybody says I'm crazy, cause you got a man,
And I ain't worried about it..

lol yea maybe I'm dreaming
But I can't stop picturing how things could be~
Got me all out of focus, fighting the emotions, of the old me
And I don't wanna be that guy
I know that it's the wrong time
But that don't change the fact, I can't stop thinking about... just..

What it'd be like~
To hold you close, and call you mine
What it'd feel like~
To be the one that lights your eyes
What would it look like~
Finding roses all the time
Ohh the things I'd do if you were mine
I dream of What It'd Be Like~

Do you ever think of what it'd feel like~
Two hearts of the same kind..
With the same mind..
If I'm dreaming don't wake me tonight
I'd rather think of What It'd Be Like~

What it'd be like~
To hold you close, and call you mine
What it'd feel like~
To be the one that lights your eyes
What would it look like~
To be all you need in life
Ohh the things I'd do if you were mine
I dream of What It'd Be Like~

Once in a Lifetime Kind

Is it weird that I don't wanna leave yet?
This is the most fun I've had since.. damn I don't even know when..
If I'm this drunk on you, should I even be driving?
Criss-crossing the lines on I-45 cause you're stuck in my mind again

Everytime I leave you it becomes clear
It's like the universe is in my ear
saying "Don't let this one dissappear"

I need someone like you
Someone who lifts me up through the roof
Someone who looks at me like the truth
And you already do~
I'm gonna lay it all on the line
It's not a question of IF, it's just a matter of time
Before I speak up, certain things I can't pass up
And you're the Once in a Lifetime Kind
I ain't blind and even if this kills me, it's fine

Yo, I been thinking
I wanna be the one you're seeing on the weekend
Give you warm fuzzy feelings in the evening
For no reason, Na you ain't dreaming, It's just a feeling

And everytime I leave you it becomes more clear
You got what I need, hear the universe screaming
"Don't let her leave!"

Yeah, I think I need you
Someone who lifts me up like you do
Someone who looks at me like the truth
And you already do~
Tell me what you got to lose?
I'm gonna lay it all on the line
It's not a question of IF, it's just a matter of time
Before I speak up, certain things I can't pass up
And you're the Once in a Lifetime Kind
I ain't blind Yea, I aint blind

Guide Me, I'm Grateful

I call up my mama, cause she always listens
I've got a long list of problems, since I seen you last Christmas
And I'm trying to hold on, but this road don't seem to ever end.
Driving down those country roads, takes almost half a day
But there ain't nothing like mama's house to get your shit back strait.
She'll tell me I'm acting crazy, hand me a sandwitch that she made me that tastes like home.

Where do you go?
To Re-fuel your soul
Where do you run?
When your compas is broke
What do you pray for?
When the list is too long
Guide me, I'm Grateful
To call you Mom

Sometimes I wouldn't understand the picture that you'd paint.
But looking back as an older man, I'd do it just the same.
No one told me you were Superman back then, with an invisible cape.
You taught me when to use my head, and when to use my heart.
To always be a gentleman, even when it hurts
And I wouldn't be have the man I am today..
If you wern't Who You Are.

Where do you go?
To Re-fuel your soul
Where do you run?
When your compas is broke
What do you pray for?
When the list is too long
Guide me, I'm Grateful
To call you Mom

Guide me, I'm Grateful
To call you Mom

This Thing Called FEAR

Someone told me I should write a song, about everything I'm scared of...

Hand me the pen and paper..

I'm scared of never finding a home. Or that I end up dying alone.

Spending years out on the road. Just selling out my soul.

I'm scared I won't be good enough, or the crowd won't like my stuff.

"But, what if I mess up?" Yeah I'm scared of fucking up!!

I'm scared to fall in love cause, a seat's saved for me on the tour bus 

and I refuse to be known as one who abandons his loved ones.

I'm scared of losing all my hair, feeling ulgy in the mirror.

I'm scared I'll die too young with new songs still trapped inside these lungs

It's not Fair~ This thing called FEAR~

It keeps us Scared~ To keep us Still~

Until Fear is all we feel. 

I'm scared of always wanting, someone that does not want me.

Or someone switching up on me, ahhh that shit haunts me. 

I'm scared I'll relapse on those pills.. and then not ask for help

End up teaching guitar skills, or playing empty bars and grills

I'm scared to tell her how I feel, I'm scared she'll laugh and call me weird

I'm scared of finding the "real deal" then finding out she never healed

I'm scared of watching life go by and not trying hard enough... 

cause I was high....    did i mention that I'm scared to die.

It's not Fair~ This thing called FEAR~

It keeps us Scared~ To keep us Still~

Until Fear is all we feel.

Lips like Codeine

It's after midnight when I pull up
No headlights, no witnesses
I can't lie, I never could get enough
Of those Blue eyes, such innocence
I was paralized when we broke up
& I was doing fine, until you hit me up
Now I'm in your drive, it's almost one
As my worried mind whispers, "RUN"
I know I'm not the one you love
But tonight, ohh I need your touch
Under neon lights, it's building up
And I see your eyes, saying "Give me some"

MUSICAL BREAK

Suddenly, everything's in slow motion
Feels like I'm frozen....
I can't move... wrapped up in emotion.
Your love is a potion, and I drank the whole thing
That wasn't the motive, but I couldn't control it
With those lips like Codeine, mixed with explosives
My decisions are blurry, the room is pulsing
Wait... what have I done?
Why am I floating??
Over her bedroom, and into the morning
Fighting it's pointless, my visions distorting
She slipped me the poison, it's pulling me under
I knew it was over, the moment I touched her...

Rumrz

I've never seen someone like you before.
Who feels like a dream, reminds me of when I was young.
That feeling of freedom, without a care in the world.
Is making me feel something I can't put into words

I just wanna get to know ya
Pizza on the sofa, and waste some time with you.
I don't know if you heard, but the Rumors are true.

I can't take my eyes off of you.
Please tell me you're feeling this too.
You've got every head turned in the room.
I've never seen such a beautiful view.

The night is young, feels like my heart's on fire.
Adrenalin rush, when your hand bumps into mine.
Ohhh this could be fun, lets get lost in the city lights.
We can turn off our phones, you get all my attentition tonight.

I just wanna keep you happy, and smiling, and laughing,
Cause thats all that matters, and thats all I'm after.
The Rumors are true!

I can't take my eyes off of you.
Please tell me you're feeling this too.
You've got every head turned in the room.
I've never seen such a beautiful view

I can't take my eyes off of you.
Please tell me you're feeling this too.
Take my hand, lets explore something new.
I've never seen such a beautiful view.

I can't take my eyes off of you.
Please tell me you're feeling this too.
You've got every head turned in the room.
I've never seen such a beautiful view

Listen to the Music

Somewhere on the edge of town you can find my heart in a lost-n-found

It just wasn't working out. I was too focused on the clouds.

Somewhere in the Bible belt, there's a girl, brown hair in a ponytail

and she's been struggling with doubt. Asking me, "Will we make it out?"

But when people ask me about my future.

The only thing I say is music.

It's not going away, close your eyes, let me play something to move ya,

Now-a-days, when people ask me how i'm doing....   I say...

Listen to the Music

You gotta listen to the Music

You wanna know how i'm doing?

You gotta listen to the, listen to the, listen to the Music.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I know I need pain to create these rhymes 

Cause when i'm happy I don't care. Can't write anything as real.

So I live in-between the line of the joyest day and the darkest time.

Just trying to hold the wheel, steady through the fear.

But when people ask me about my future.

The only answer I have is music.

It's not going away, close your eyes, let me serenade and move ya,

Now-a-days, when people ask me how i'm doing.... I just say...

Listen to the Music

You gotta listen to the Music

You wanna know how i'm doing?

You gotta listen to the, listen to the, listen to the Music.

I get nervous... when the questions surface

like, "Where are we headed?" or "Where's this going?"

Cause when people ask me about my future

The only answer I've had for years is music

and that ain't gonna change~

I've got too much to say~

This is how we bring Change~       I hope you use it.

So Now-a-days, don't ask me how I'm doing....    

Just say.... "Play me a new one"

Do you have time for a new one?

You wanna know how i'm doing?

It's all in the Music. 

Listen to the Music.

That Aint Me

I'm starting not to like the way you treat me
You only want me when you need me.
You only call me when you can't sleep
When you're lying there lonely, glowing with the T.V.
and I ain't trying to be mean
But I need more than that, show me the receipt
I seen the messages come across your phone screen
Of different guys that you text when you're lonely

But That Ain't me
Wipe my heart and call it clean
Wash my hands and flee the scene
This is no longer serving me
Baby that ain't me
I see the difference in-between
All the Real & Fake, the Love & Hate
While you swim in the gray
and baby that ain't me.

You're always saying I don't trust you.
Or that I don't know how to love you.
Huh, I wonder why, I find pictures of you online, out with other guys
and I can smell the liquor through the pixels, spilling out the picture
If I get drunk now, will I heal quicker?
If I pop a few pills, will I still miss her?
Go on and load me up Doc, I can't deal with it.
Yea I know I overanalize, but it leeds me to the truth 99% of the time.
You give me butterflies, and not the good kind
I put my fist through the wall, last fall, two times, cause I was tramatized
Then all of a sudden I felt a different vibe, I can't ignore it I've tried
But you seem to think I'm Lieutenant of the week at telling lies when I speak
and always plotting up a scheme, but baby that ain't me!

But That Ain't me
Wipe my heart and call it clean
Wash my hands and flee the scene
This is no longer serving me
Baby that ain't me
I see the difference in-between
All the Real & Fake, the Love & Hate
While you swim in the gray

Here's your heart back with it's key
It's not meant for me, it's not meant for me.
Here's your heart back with it's key
It's not meant for me, It's not meant for me.

If I have to...

I could tell it was over.... before it was over... if that makes sense.
Days without a good morning, or a "thinking of you" text.
Now the storms getting closer, the cars are gone, the people left.
And my eyes are glossing over, I feel alone... and out of breath.

Cause I don't wanna feel the adrenalin rush
Through my body like drugs
While abandonment greets me with an anxiety hug
It's no fun... It' s no fun... It's no fun...
I come out different when it's done.

So with this liquor on my lips,
and weed smoke in my lungs,
it makes it easier to say "fuck it, I'll go back to square one if I Have to.."
I've been drinking since half noon.
Sometimes the hardest thing is the right thing to do....

Everything was fine before you left
You said, "I'll be back in 5 days, maybe 6
and I'll have my phone on me, you can text."
Then she backed out the driveway and blew a kiss.
It's amazing how 5 days can feel like 30.
I keep checking my phones vibration to make sure that it's still working.

Cause I don't wanna feel the adrenalin rush
Through my body like drugs
While abandonment greets me with an anxiety hug
It's no fun... It' s no fun... It's no fun...
I come out different when it's done.

So with this liquor on my lips,
and weed smoke in my lungs,
it makes it easier to say "fuck you, I'll go back to square one if I Have to..."
I've been drinking since half noon.
Sometimes the hardest thing is the right thing to do....
But I can't congregate my thoughts from all the booze....

So I guess I'll see how I feel when I wake up,
Cause I don't make decisions in anger
But I feel like I'e been left hanging.
Forgotten on the wing of an airplane
and its headed for the water, and of course I can't swim.
My fingers are slipping and I'm losing my grip
So I shut my eyes tight, and I'll say all my prayers
I'll LET GO AND LET GOD TAKE IT FROM HERE IF I HAVE TO....
are you telling me I have to?
I don't know the way past you...
Never thought that I'd have to...
Sometimes the hardest thing is the right thing to do...
So I guess I'll see how I feel tomorrow afternoon...

Fuck Being Friends
It's been a long time coming
I've seen you out with your friends, but never caught you alone
I can feel the clock hands burning
I can tell that the kicthen's getting ready to close
I'm in the bathroom mirror trying to pull myself together
Like, "Come on man we can do this, just deep breaths"
There's the waitress with our check are we ready to leave?
I keep looking at you, looking at me

Next thing I know we're in the car, you're rolling something up
Once an overcrowded bar, now's an empty parking lot
You're giving me "the look" you've got your knees in my lap
You keep talking about my hair and playing with my hand
Man, Fuck Being Friends

What if I'm all in
What if we burned that bridge.. What then?
What if I told you I'm leaving?
Would that make a difference?
Cause I need more than a friend

And I feel a heat rush everytime our feet touch
Underneith the tabel back lit corner of the restaurant
No, I don't wanna be friends
I'm looking for connection
I just need to feel loved and human again
So what's it gonna be?
What you gonna do?
Where do you got to go? It's late?
What do you have to lose?

Next thing I know we're in the car, you're rolling something up
Once an overcrowded bar, now's an empty parking lot
You're giving me "the look" you've got your knees in my lap
You keep talking about my hair and playing with my hand
Man, Fuck Being Friends

What if I'm all in
What if we burned that bridge.. What then?
What if I told you I'm leaving?
Would that make a difference?
Cause I need more than a friend

Heart Strings

You tricked me
I thought that you wanted me, but clearly
That's just what you wanted me to see
Infatuated with the idea of me
Just not the real me, I see yeah
I keep having vivid visions of you leaving me
I wake up wrestling, tangled in, my bed sheets
From a bad dream, now I can't sleep
Look what you've done to me baby

Why~ Why'd you have to play with my heart strings?
I'll spend a month just recovering
Learning how to live without your memory
Takes all of me, all of me
Why~ Why'd you have to play with my heart strings?
I had those things tuned perfectly
It's fucked up how you hurt me
Deciding which string to play and which one to break.

Fucking with my heart strings
Resulted in a hard sting
Just stop please

You told me
Not to fall in love, but I was drowning
Yeah that ship's already sunk
Girl, you had me
Turns out I'm not what you want
Had your fun, and led me on then left me alone

Why~ Why'd you have to play with my heart strings?
I'll spend a month just recovering
Learning how to live without your memory
Takes all of me, all of me
Why~ Why'd you have to play with my heart strings?
I had those things tuned perfectly
It's fucked up how you hurt me
Deciding which string to play and which one to break.
Quit fucking with my heart strings

You gotta Move, you can't sit still
Everybody's waiting, tell em how you feel
put the work in and accept no less
you can't get to where you're going if you only live it in your head
so Make a Move

Don't give up, thats what they want you to do. They only jellous cause they wish that they could do what you do, and move how you move, with a new conviction to prove, like you consistently do, they can't accept the bigger version of you. Their only concerned with the number of views, or how much money they can generate with Auto Tune Tunes, I'm busy planning debu's, they count their streams and their jewels, I count the live's I influence and the people I move, I created the view and stayed locked in my room, saying no to everything except developing loops, and yea my fingers in pain, but I'd just play throuh the bruise, cause I kept thinking "one day they'll be singing this tune. And I remain unchanged as I followed pursuit, and today I'm onstage and I"m singing to you, you know that corney cliche about dreams coming true? Funny thing is if you put the work in, they do, Make a Move, and don't be sorry~

How Strong I AM

I can't tell ya the last time I felt good.
But I could tell you when I last broke down.
I can't tell ya the last time somebody loved me.
But I can tell ya when she last left town

Ohh and I know,
it won't last forever
I'm not out of love
I swear it's the weather

When I'm waiting on the Sun to Shine
The weather man says the storms at 5
But how can it rain again, I'm battered and beaten in
Man, life keeps throwing these curve balls in hurricane winds, and I can't see the end
I built myself up just to lose it again
I'm so sick of finding out How Strong I am...

There's gotta be a season where things don't go wrong
I wasn't made to just pay bills, and then die alone
But this dark cloud follows where I go
Always reminding me that I'm never enough

Ohh and I know,
it won't last forever
I'm not out of love
I swear it's the weather

When I'm waiting on the Sun to Shine
The weather man says the storms at 5
But how can it rain again, I'm battered and beaten in
Man, life keeps throwing these curve balls in hurricane winds, and I can't see the end
I built myself up just to lose it again
I'm so sick of finding out How Strong I am...

& I refuse to believe
That this life is supposed to be
Brief moments of peace
Between pain and agony
But thats what it feels like..... to me.

When I'm waiting on the Sun to Shine
I try to stay in a positive mind
But how can it rain again, I'm battered and beaten in
Man, life keeps throwing these curve balls in hurricane winds,
& I keep swinging for the fence.
I built myself up just to lose my confidence
Now I've lost all common sense
I'm as lonely as it gets...
Nobody wants me.. the way I am~
I'm so sick of finding out how Strong I AM
But I don' know how.. to give in..

& I refuse to believe
That this life is supposed to be
Brief moments of peace
Between pain and agony
But thats what it feels like..... to me.
When I'm waiting on the .........

~ The Finest Whisky~

I'll never forget that face you made
It was just one look but the whole vibe changed
Can we talk for a minute
Can you fill me in on why this feels so different
I thought we were wining
Tell me what went wrong
Or tell me what I'm missing

Cause it's been bugging me, bugging me, baby
I'm all in my head, was it something I said
Cause I'm gonna keep on loving you, loving you, crazy
And stick to the plan, until you give in

Am I not enough for you baby
Cause it's been driving me crazy
To the point of fuck how you say it
Tell the truth I can take it
But even the Finest Whisky won't save me
If I'm not enough for you baby

All those late night talks
Catch me staring at my watch
Wishing I could turn back time
Or write a check to make it stop
Thought we were on the same page
But clearly we are not
I'm tired of staring at my phone
Wishing your name would pop up

And it's been bugging me, bugging me, baby
Speak your truth; Tell me what did I do
Cause I'm gonna keep on loving you, loving you, crazy
And stick to the plan, until you give in

Am I not enough for you baby
Cause it's been driving me crazy
To the point of fuck how you say it
Tell the truth I can take it
But even the Finest Whisky won't save me
If I'm not enough for you baby

Warning Shot

Don't get too close to me if you ain't trying to stay
Don't make me feel wanted then turn me away
Don't call me sexy, rubbing up against me, and not expect me to take you with me.
Quit sending those vibes my way, that make me high all day,
If you don't mean what you say you need to miss me with that...
you need to miss me with that...

Cause I can tell from the words you're saying, and your body language,
and the way you say my name when you been drinking
I can tell by the way you laugh, that you've been holding back
so don't be giving me shit, and throwing a fit, when i decide to ask ya

It's a Warning Shot, strait from the heart
I aint got the time to play these games with ya girl
It's a Warning Shot, strait from the heart
no, I don't wanna play no more.
No I don't wanna play no more

Don't give me that look unless you want me to stay
Don't turn me on, if you ain't trying to play
Don't make me feel warm inside, tell me I can stay the night, if it doesn't mean nothing
Don't give me those "want you eyes" with your hand up on my thigh, and act surprised when I say something?
Miss me with that..
Yea, you gotta miss me with that...

Cause I can tell from the words you're saying, and your body language,
and the way you say my name when you been drinking
I can tell by the way you laugh, that you've been holding back
so don't be giving me shit, and throwing a fit, when i decide to ask ya

It's a Warning Shot, strait from the heart
I aint got the time to play these games with ya girl
It's a Warning Shot, strait from the heart
no, I don't wanna play no more.
No I don't wanna play no more
No I don't wanna play no more, play no more, play no more
no i don't wanna play no more.
You gotta miss me with that
You gotta miss me with that.

What I Was Made For   Feat. Carlos Olivan

They told me to be quite, and sit down,
but I don't wanna be stuck in the bleechers
I've been beat up, and drug down,
Left behind for the vulchers
And I'll try, till I die, to be what I see in my head
But for now, untill then, I'll have to settle for the lesser

I've worked too hard to quit now
I've got to play this one out
For everything that I've done to get here
All the blood sweat and tears
Disappointment has it's fears
And it's never comfortable.. but just enough to know

That this is What I Was Made For
That this is What I Was Made For
And I've never been so sure
But this is What I Was Made For

As time past by I tried to hide it
But once you learn to fly it's so hard to stay quite
Who I was meant to be was pouring out of me
It's like I finally arrived and I feel so alive
I remove the mask of me so now I can finally breathe
I wanna fly with the birds or die trying to spred my wings, either way...

I've worked too hard to quit now
I've got to play this one out
For everything that I've done to get here
All the blood sweat and tears
Disappointment has it's fears
And it's never comfortable.. but just enough to know

That this is What I Was Made For
That this is What I Was Made For
And I've never been so sure
But this is What I Was Made For

(Carlos)
Walking around and people watching. Everybody's so dark and blue.
Everybody's so pissed off, I hate my life, now fuck yours too.
Everyday it's the same routine waking up to this 9 to 5
Nothing left to look forward too we're just living life, shit, just to die.
The world has made it hard to dream killing us of our self esteem.
And as we fight and people use, we're blaming God as we pick and choose
Why are we so caught up, too fucked up to recognize
We're living life in a world of fakes where everything is just televised
Everyone's so scared to be the person they were meant to be
All because the media has tried to change our reality
Everyone just has to see, We've all done our right or wrongs
It's time that you forgive yourself and see how far you've came along

That this is What I Was Made For
That this is What I Was Made For
And I've never been so sure
But this is What I Was Made For

I Think you're Great

Whatever you're scared of I can't find it
I see you nervous, I watch you hide it.
& Whatever I'm thinking I can't hide it
My heart speeds up when I'm beside ya

& I'm not trying to rush
I wanna know what it's like to feel your touch
but I'm walking on a tight rope
& if you only knew
That my heart only beats for you
But come on now, now that sounds childish

But thats how you make.. me.. feel..
Like bad days aren't that big a deal
Nothing's too important, and everything can wait,
I think you're Great

The weather's getting colder and I can feel it
It makes me wanna hold you through the season
And mama always told me to chase my feelings
and that I never need a reason.

I'm not trying to scare ya
I just want you to be aware of
The energy you bring to me
& I'm not trying to fight it
I've never seen anything quite like it
Or felt the joy your presence can bring

But thats how you make.. me.. feel..
Like bad days aren't that big a deal
Nothing's too important, and everything can wait,
I think you're Great
and I think we'd make......

A perfect pair,
We can build for years,
Something real,
You're so beautiful my dear...
I hope this takes...
Cause I think you're Great...

Get Back 2 You

Well I aint got time to talk to ya
Gotta do my own thing, I’m doing major stuff
I got places to go, and people to see
Cant waste time or my energy
I got plans in my head, that I’d like to see come true
Your still stuck in the mud, of everything that you’ve been through, and you can’t move.
You gotta fix whats broken, and never stop hoping, you make it, you know this, don’t ever feel hopeless, you got too much to live for.

I miss my old friend, before the drugs moved in
But now they pay the rent to live inside your head.
You’ve got yourself to blame, but you can break these chains
And it will never be the same, but it’s a starting point.
To Get Back 2 You, ……. And I hope you do

Has anybody seen my friend?
Did anybody see witch direction that he went?
Has Anybody seen my friend?
Who are you, and what’d you do with him?

I see it in your face when I look at ya
I wasent born yesterday, or the day before
Quit playing games with me man, cause you know how they go
And all those lies that you telling, you think nobody knows?
But I got ya, I can’t tell by your cloths that your washed up
But that’s how it goes when you spend all night chasing short lived highs
And everyone around ya knows

I miss my old friend, before the drugs moved in
But now they pay the rent to live inside your head.
You’ve got yourself to blame, but you can break these chains
And it will never be the same, but it’s a starting point.
To Get Back 2 You, ……. And I hope you do

Has anybody seen my friend?
Did anybody see witch direction that he went?
Has Anybody seen my friend?
Who are you, and what’d you do with him?

Has anybody seen my friend?
Did anybody see witch direction that he went?
Has Anybody seen my friend?
Who are you, and what’d you do with him?

Waiting on the Light

I feel, that this is all a dream.
Why, Why, Why, Why, Why, is it happening to me?
I’ve been the same man, playing the same hand I was delt.
Trying to please, trying to leed, and trying to help.
I know, I can make it worse.
When anger gets the best of me, and I’m saying things I’d never say, and it hurts.
I guess I’m not the same man I used to think I was
Well I think fear had a hand in that, to knock me down or hold me back, but I still got love~

Having a good heart is not always fair.
Even if you love hard, it won’t make them care.
I know you can’t force something there, or pretend not to care.
You can’t turn off your feelings, when you need some fresh air.
You can scream if you need it, but it won’t stop the bleeding. Oh no
When you’re stuck in the turning lane.
Just Waiting on that Light to Change.

No one understands, there’s problems all around me.
I keep plowing through the storm, but the only way through is to keep on going
I know complaining never did no good, but I feel like I really should talk to somebody
Cause it’s not healthy keeping the tension in, wondering when you’ll breathe again and not worry about it.
So I withdraw, in the critical moments.
I’d go inside myself, look and find all the love that’s left, and I just hold it
Cause at any moment, I feel like I could lose it.
And I can’t figure out why, no ones got a heart like mine, or they don’t use it. No they don’t use it.

Having a good heart is not always fair.
Even if you love hard, it won’t make them care.
I know I can’t force something there, or pretend not to care.
And I can’t turn off my feelings, even though I need some fresh air.
I could scream if I need it, but that don’t stop the bleeding. Oh no
When I’m in the turning lane, Just Waiting on that Light to Change.
I’m in the turning lane, just waiting on my Life to Change.

And I don’t know how much longer I can do this, hurry up and change.
To be honest, I’m amazed I’m still alive after going through this, Hurry up and change.
When will I be free of this?
When will I feel like me again?
When will I be free of this?
When will I feel like me again?

Take Me Out

I’m taking time to heal these wounds
I wouldn’t want to bleed on you.
I take my time till I feel free
Cause I’m not ready for who you want me to be
And I try… everyday
And I get close, but at the same time I’m too far away

So Take Me Out I could use it
My Hearts been broke. Lets go hear some music
You’re so fine. I just need an escape from life
I’m all in my mind losing it one string at a time
I’m still losing it one string at a time

And I’ll be careful not to step on your feelings
If I fall with my hands up to the ceiling
And I’ll say ohh
I need your love

So Take Me Out I could use it
Lets go downtown hear some Blues music
You’re so fine. Lets escape this life
Take me away, take me away, tonight.

Safety

Well I can see from a distance.
That you need glue to hold yourself together, and I’m running out of air
And there you go again, Chasing short lived pleasures.
But underneath your skin, your brainwashed and broken

Well Hello old friend, is it really that bad again?
That’s a lot of tiny bags you have for just one hand.
But on the other, your under cover
And I can still see a trace, in your face, of Who you used to be
But you put yourself in your own surroundings
And I feel bad, but nothing I can do so I just hold back
And let you make your own mistakes

I feel your faults have made you, Who You Are today
And your feet seem too unstable, to stand where you now lay
And I can feel your pain
From 15 miles away
And I can’t be your safety nooo not any longer
You gotta dig deeper.

Now I can’t make you see
No I just can’t talk anymore
No more wasted breath
In one ear then out the other
Rise up to a higher level, and try a birds eye view
You might like it better
And try listening to what that inner voice is telling you, is telling you, is telling you.

I feel your faults have made you, Who You Are today
And your feet seem too unstable, to stand where you now lay
And I can feel your pain
From 15 miles away
And I can’t be your safety nooo not any longer
You gotta dig deeper.

You gotta dig, you gotta dig, you gotta dig a little deeper x3
Cause I can’t be your Safety no not any longer, you gotta dig deeper.

I Believe in Me

Well I’m a good guy on the rise, big plans all my life
I’ve been dreaming of singing in front of millions of people
All on a regular basis, and music is my oasis
I’d rather pay for it now, like a time share vacation
I don’t get mad when I’m down, I just assess the situation
Not like it’s complicated, it’s only what you make it
Drug down now I’m stuck in the matrix
I got a brand new sound, it’s nothing less than amazing…… and
I don’t like to brag, I just show em how it’s done
And I get better when the pressure’s on
I’m blessed, I’ve had a way with words, ever since I was a young boy with curls,
I’ve wanted to change the world
Nobody took me serious, except my girl
Then I made the radio at 28 years old
Small town boy with an H-Town Soul
Playing my heart out on the Rod Ryan Show

I Believe in Me, and that’s all I need.
I Believe in Me, and that’s all I need.
I Believe in Me, do you believe in You?, do you believe in Who you wanna be?
Cause I Believe in Me, and that’s all I need.

Living in America, home of the brave
Where everybody gets offended by whatever you say
They tell us that we’re free, and everybody believes
Their too asleep, chasing money, women, power, and greed
I’m steady chasing my dreams, I don’t got time to sleep
I found the receipt for melodies that stick to your teeth.
And everybody keeps on telling me they love when I sing
But I stay busy focused in on who and what I could be
Phones ringing off the hook, friends wanna hang
But I don’t have the time, I’m sharpening my game
People telling me that I’m wasting my time,
But if your dream don’t scare you, you aint doing it right!

I Believe in Me, and that’s all I need.
I Believe in Me, and that’s all I need.
I Believe in Me, do you believe in You?, do you believe in Who you wanna be?
Cause I Believe in Me, and that’s all I need.

I Believe in Me, and anything is possible when you believe
I Believe in you too, and there’s nothing in this world that you can’t do
So Believe, and put in the work, and before you know it you’ll be ahead of the curve.
Trust me, I’ve been there before, and now I’m climbing up the latter to the top of the world

Deeper than the Surface

I’m so tired, of waking up sick, pissed off in a bad mood, throwing a fit.
It’s getting old too quick, my feet as heavy as bricks
And now I’m so sick, of always being broke, waking up with a knot in my throat
Trying to start a new day on fumes of hope, because my day-2-day feels like a joke.

Some days, I don’t even want to stand
And other days, I change my mind and it’s not that bad

And I remember to rise up
Despite the weight of the world on my shoulders
I remind myself, I’m much more than a man
I was made for a purpose, I’m Deeper than the Surface
Deeper than the Surface.

I’m so fed up, with all of these fakes
Trying to tell me Who I Am, where to go, and which lane I should stay in
Your not me, you’ll never be, so keep on dreaming
And all you Debbie downers, talking down on me, making things harder, for me to move forward
Voicing all your negative opinions on me.

Some days, I don’t even want to stand
And other days, I change my mind and it’s not that bad

And I remember to rise up
Despite the weight of the world on my shoulders
I remind myself, I’m much more than a man
I was made for a purpose, I’m Deeper than the Surface
Deeper than the Surface.

At times, please remind me
In good times, please remind me
In bad times, please remind me
I was made for a purpose, I’m deeper than the surface.

And I remember to rise up
Despite the weight of the world on my shoulders
I remind myself, I’m much more than a man
I was made for a purpose, I’m Deeper than the Surface
Deeper than the Surface

Darkness EXT

I don't want you to see
The darkness in me~
Lord Help me
And I don't wanna be
Just another refugee~ in someone else's prison
oh not me, not me, not me
oh not me, not me, not me

There is a darkness inside of me
and I force it down
another shot of Crown, too much slack in the leash now
I do not know how long it will be
but sooner, or later, the darkness takes over me

He haunts me down
and he knows me well
When the light begins to fade, and the pain's too much to take
That's when Darkness Takes the Reins

Waking up in strange places
Bruises on my face, but how did they get there?
it's still unclear
When I snap it is dangerous
I can't contain it, I'm scared
I'm scared
There's an angle on my shoulder
the voice of reason's soldier, but she doesn't care
She's just standing there
Meanwhile, the Devil's in my mind
buying me two drinks at a time and telling me what I wanna hear
It's so unfair

It's a part of me
That I just don't agree with
So pardon me
If I seem distant...
it's for your best interest...
Trust Me

He haunts me down
and he knows me well
When the light begins to fade, and the pain's too much to take
That's when Darkness Takes the Reins
Yes, He haunts me down
and he knows me well
When the light begins to fade, and the pain's too much to take
That's when Darkness Takes the Reins

I feel it tugging on my sleeve, like a kid when he's ready to leave.
Now I don't wanna cause trouble, I don't want them to see
What happens to me, so I'm looking for my keys...
It's time to leave the party, the rain just started
I'm walking out to my car and it's foggy.
Girl chasing after me, in bare feet, screaming, "Wait, please wait for me!"
But I slide right in to the leather seats
I punch the gas, now I'm flying down the street.
I have to make it home, only 3 exit's to go,
Can't let the darkness take control while I'm on the road.
Well it's creeping in I can tell by the heat.
Air's thickening, it's getting hard to breathe
Knuckles pale white from gripping the wheel tightly, Oh and I might be
Only hanging on by a thread, odometer stuck in the red.
Everything is just flashing by full speed ahead with no warning signs.
I'm running red lights. I'm dodging stop signs.
and I'm watching street lights, blending in to the tree line.
I'm grinting my teeth, cause I know where this leads
I'm breaking..... It's taking ME~

Artificial Love

Well I would speak
She’d only pretend to hear me
Too busy turning those wheels
Building ideas in her head
I would act
But it seems her interest is in the mirror
But I would Touch, Yes I would Touch,
But who wouldn’t dear.
Well I would ask
But she bites more than she chews
Spits the old men out
Into cheap whisky rooms
And I would need
a backup heart or two
But I would Touch, Yes I would Touch
But so would everyone I know.

She had an Artificial Heart, ohh beating on it’s own
In Love, with the compact in her purse.
And everything that shinned like gold
She was, a stranded southern soul
Using her plastic as a sword
To fight the war
Of Artificial Love, Artificial Love
Ohh Artificial Love ohh ohh ohh

She would seek the hollow shell of a man
To buy her designer jeans, heals, and make-up bags
She would show some skin to get ahead
And she would keep, yea she would keep
Broken Hearts as souvenirs

She had an Artificial Heart, ohh beating on it’s own
In Love, with the compact in her purse.
And everything that shinned like gold
She was, a stranded southern soul
Using her plastic as a sword
To fight the war
Of Artificial Love, Artificial Love
Ohh Artificial Love ohh ohh ohh

Always In My Way

I’m tired……. Of doing what you say I gotta do.
You’re a liar…..about where you be at, where you stay at, and what you do
I’m tired…… Of everything that you say
Cause you a liar….and your Always In My Way

A little too close for comfort,(yep) a little too close to home.
The words you said to me in that order….sit with me wrong
I bite my tongue, and swallow my pride
I kept my mouth shut, and let it slide

I’m tired……. Of doing what you say I gotta do.
You’re a liar…..about where you be at, where you stay at, and what you do
I’m tired…… Of everything that you say
Cause you a liar….and your Always In My Way

Hey Mr. Boss man,… what ya got to say today?
How I aint doing my job, or I’m doing it wrong, man you always picking on me
I aint in the mood, to allow your attitude to ruin my day
So I’ma show you where to stick it, if you keep talking to me that way.

I’m tired……. Of doing what you say I gotta do.
You’re a liar…..about where you be at, where you stay at, and what you do
I’m tired…… Of everything that you say
Cause you a liar….and your Always In My Way

All I Need

I don’t want a movie kind of love
There only made to fit the screen
Instead, I want a love that lasts
That doesn’t hurt, or require anything
And I think I found it
I think I found it

No matter how big the stage gets, I’ll always sing to you
For you were there, when I had nothing to spare except an empty room
So hold on to your seat love, For I don’t know where we’ll go
But wherever life takes us, the world can’t break us, and my love will follow

Wherever you go—
Wherever you go—my love will follow.

I don’t want a normal kind of love
The typical “I love you, you love me” mythical dream
No, I want that here for you, won’t hurt you, won’t leave you, do as you please
And I think I found it….. ohh I think I found it.

No matter how big the stage gets, I’ll always sing to you
For you were there, when I had nothing to spare except an empty room
So hold on to your seat love, For I don’t know where we’ll go
But wherever life takes us, the world can’t break us, and my love will follow

Wherever you go—
Wherever you go—my love will follow.

Your love—is all I need X4
And I’m not good at writing love songs
And I’m not good at writing love songs
And I’m not good at writing love songs
But you make it easy—aww you make it easy

Wherever you go—Wherever you go--

Walk Alone

I walk alone on a road less traveled
Cause that's all I've known
Somewhere way off the beaten path
Is where my heart calls home
Dispite the danger of the unknown
I'd venture out alone
To get lost and find my way back home
I keep on traveling, my friend

And I know, that I don't always need to know
I let my heart choose which way to go
It's never let me down before
It's never let me down before
And when things get hard
And I can't breathe anymore
I keep my eyes down, focused on the road
I keep my eyes down, focused on the road

Growing up, I thought I'd enjoy the climb
More than the easy ride
A whole lot of love and a competative drive
I was determinded to reach the sky
I fell down a couple hundred times
But I'm still standing here, before your eyes

Cause I know, that I don't always need to know
I let my heart choose which way to go
It's never let me down before
It's never let me down before
And when things get hard
And I can't breathe anymore
I keep my eyes down, focused on the road
I keep my eyes down, focused on the road

Waiting on Love

Why can't you just leave me?
instead of stringing me along
If i'm not your cup of tea
then just pour me out, and leave me be
do you hear me?

I'm tired of the glimpses, of possible love
They take down their fences, then they put them back up
I'm tired of wishing, for someone I can love
But most of all I'm tired of waiting..

I'm tired of Waiting on Love
Why's it taking so long?
I thought it'd be here by now
But I keep choosing all the, wrong ones
While I'm Waiting on Love

How can you disappear?
And not feel guilty
I couldn't even hurt a soul and not try and fix it
Must be too much distance
Between who you wanna be, and who you exist as

And I'm tired of the glimpses, of possible love
They take down their fences, then they put them back up
I'm tired of wishing, for someone I can love
But most of all I'm tired of waiting..

I'm tired of Waiting on Love
Why's it taking so long?
I thought it'd be here by now
But I keep choosing all the, wrong ones
Did you forget about me Love?
Why's it taking so long?
I just wanna feel like I'm home again
But I keep choosing all the, wrong ones
While I'm Waiting on Love
I'm just waiting...

Trust the Vibe

She was all in, you could see it in her eyes.
She was 2 drinks in, and giggling, no longer shy.
Sitting in a corner both, with those golden tinted eyes. Oh my
Trying to explain to me, she’s not interested in mine, Oh what a lie.

I know better~
Yea I know better~
I know better tonight….. Cause I Trust the Vibe.

She was leaving the door, a little cracked open.
Along with so many words, kept unspoken
It would show through the cracks in her eyes when she laughed, or when she smiled
Like warning lights, screaming This could be Fire, but she swears it’s all a lie.

I know better~
Yea I know better~
I know better tonight….. Cause I Trust the Vibe.

I trust the vibe.
I trust the Vibe, when things don’t add up quite right
When the words don’t match their eyes
And I know everybody lies, and I know everybody’s hiding something, or got something to hide.
So Trust the Vibe.

Things would fall out, out of her mouth, before she realized.
And then she’d pull back, and retract, to keep in her disguise.
Now baby how long, can you keep this up?
Even Actress of the year, couldn’t hold that front, what makes you think you’re the one?

I know better~
Yea I know better~
I know better tonight….. Cause I Trust the Vibe.

I trust the vibe.
I trust the Vibe, when things don’t add up quite right
When the words don’t match their eyes
And I know everybody lies, and I know everybody’s hiding something, or got something to hide.
So Trust the Vibe
when things don’t add up quite right
When the words don’t match their eyes
And I know everybody lies, and I know everybody’s hiding something, or got something to hide.
So Trust the Vibe

Til the End of my Days

I just hoped you'd stay
Kinda fit perfectly
But I understand it's new
And everyone's past comes calling...
But other Thunder doesn't make me move
And you were the flash of Lightning
And I don't know if I meant anything to you..
But I remember trying to..

I wanna be loved for me
I feen for connection, but never find what I need
My heart's bigger than average, but it's always bad timing
I seem to push away all the ones that I vibe with

But I'll keep on marching through the flames
To the beat of my own drum, no matter what they say
I've got faith in whats coming, ohh whats mine will stay
I'm gonna be Me this time
Til the End of my Days

I just hoped you'd stay
You didn't get to see the other side of me
But I'm too old to chase
besides, it's not my style

I ~ I wanna be loved for me
I feen for connection, but never find what I need
My heart's bigger than average, but it's always bad timing
I seem to push away all the ones that I vibe with
I dive right in
and I'm tired of trying... it feels like losing a friend
Right after learning how to smile again
When do these Black clouds end?...

But I'll keep on marching through the flames
To the beat of my own drum, no matter what they say
I've got faith in whats coming, ohh whats mine's gonna stay
I'm gonna be Me this time
But, Til the End of my Days
Yea I'm gonna be Me this time
Til the End of my Days

I just hoped you'd stay...

I’ve been down, yea, I’ve been low, since… Since you came around.
Colors changed from bright to dull, since…. Since you came around.
You have a way, to take, all the Joy out.
And the only thing you leave…is me…..to think about.
I’m always down, when you’re around, can you picture that.
Well I best be on… my way, Sorry to leave you Like This.

My peace is too important, to be worried about you.
I’m losing my faith in the moment, cause you don’t ever come through.
You can go to hell on a spaceship, and I’ll see ya there soon.
But I’m taking a long vacation…..
A vacation from you~~

You don’t fit in… to the expectation, no no, that I have of you.
And it’s a shame… that you don’t see what I do.
There’s so much potential, just burning in you.
Just begging to be touched, cause it would love, to be a part of you.

My peace is too important, to be worried about you.

I’m sorry, but I just can’t take the risk.

Driving

It’s the 3rd Time I’m trying
You must be driving
It’s the only time you don’t..
You don’t pick up the phone.
It’s half priced drinks at Mollys
Till 2am on Fridays
You said come midnight you be home.
But I watch the clock tick
As the nervousness grows
I watch the clock
As the nervousness grows

And I keep hearing cars outside
I’m running towards the blinds
Knocking over furniture
Well it’s time to let this go
Your not good for my soul.
My heads a mess
From triggers like this…

It’s the 3rd Time I’m trying
You must be driving
It’s the only time you don’t..
You don’t pick up the phone.

Dreaming

I hope you’re doing alright tonight.
I know a lot of us have been trapped in our minds,
And we don’t speak about it, try not to think about it.
Push it down, we hope somehow, one day, we’ll feel better about it.
But that never comes around, it only weighs us down
Anything can put you in a bad mood if you let it

But if we all could come together
We might just be all we need.
And if we all could love each other.
Can you imagine what kind of would this would be?

Yea, I’ve been Dreaming
I’ve been Dreaming~
I said, I’ve been Dreaming
Maybe, I’ve been Dreaming.. Too much again

This World can be a hard one.
Aint nothing worse than feeling alone.
But after every dark day, comes the bright ones
Someone told me a long time ago “you gotta hold on”

But if we all could come together
We might just be all we need.
And if we all could love each other.
Can you imagine what kind of would this would be?

Yea, I’ve been Dreaming
I’ve been Dreaming~
I said, I’ve been Dreaming
Maybe, I’ve been Dreaming.. Too much again

We could choose Peace, We could choose Love
We could choose Happiness as a drug
And we could pick first, what we love most
Turn Racism into a ghost
And we could give food to the people in the streets
Money or not, everybody’s gotta eat
And we could be kind and lift people up
Make them believe in themselves so they never give up
And that’s the power we have
But people don’t use it...
Damn I’m glad there’s Music

Damn I’m glad there’s music
I mean arent you glad there’s music?

Don't Live a Lie

Sometimes we feel lost in the world with no direction
Sometimes we feel like Life came in a box with no instructions
Sometimes are good, sometimes are bad, some depend on the situation
Sometimes they're short, sometimes they last, all depends on the way you take them

Why do we get so mad wishing for the things that we never had
Or things that we didn't do, everybody's got a few
Instead of beating ourselves up, maybe we could turn it to a positive
Maybe we could be all we need, Tell this monster to leave

Keep your head up high
Better yourself and your life
and stand true, do what you do
Just don't Live a Live

Sometimes we feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders
Someimes we feel like the game of Life came with no controler,
Some people say when it rains it pour,
But only if you turn the rain into something more

We don't have to make it this big a deal, We don't have to be too dramatic
We don't have to feel this way, Little things shouldn't make us panic
Get rid of frustration, and laugh at yourself when you make mistakes and,
don't take it so personal, learn to be playful

Keep your head up high
Better yourself and your life
and stand true, do what you do
Just don't Live a Live

Be Who You Are Boy
Be Who You Are Girl
Be Who You Are World
Cause Who You Are Boy
And Who You Are Girl
Shapes Who You Are World
Don't live a lie
