Alive

Sitting on the edge, wishing you were here
Wondering if I’m here at all
See the people stare, glazes on their eyes
Wondering do they even know
Blank faces on the train, dead silence in the sky
Blame it on the screens they steal our lives
They say we’re doomed to fail, we’re fighting tooth and nail
To be what we’re meant to be
Alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
Don’t tell me what I want to know, just tell me what I need to hear
I’ll figure it out on my own
Don’t tell me what I want to know, just tell me what I need to hear
I’ll figure it out on my own
There are secrets no one knows, I was tippin’ on my toes
Holding onto curveballs I’d never throw
But situations change, and mold our lives like clay
And make us into what we are today
Alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
Don’t tell me what I want to know, just tell me what I need to hear
I’ll figure it out on my own
Don’t tell me what I want to know, just tell me what I need to hear
I’ll figure it out on my own
I’m alive

Move

They say knowledge is power
They say ignorance is bliss
Well I say this is the hour
To take the reins, hit or miss
Can't you feel it's time to make a move, make a move
Put your best foot forward and remember in the end
The hardest part about it is always to begin
Step into the threshold
First step on the face
The walls seem way too high
This ain't no race
Can't you feel it's time to make a move, make a move
Put your best foot forward and remember in the end
The hardest part about it is always to begin
Put your hands together, put your hands together just to hear the sound
Put your best foot forward and remember in the end
The hardest part about it is always to begin

No Miracles
04:46

The night was coming to a close
He counts his tips, gets out that door
But then he’s off to work once more
Because his heart won’t be ignored
The more things change
The more things stay the same
But lonely are those who don’t use their soul
They’re only prisoners
It’s a fight for your life, there’s no wrong from right
There are no miracles
You work day and night, you put up a fight
To make it meaningful
At the set of the sun, when you think it’s all done
You’ll know it’s just begun
He passes up the time
Tangling rhymes up in his mind
Sometimes it keeps him up all night
But every rhythm and syllable helps him get his soul right
Everyday things change
Everyday things rearrange
Lonely are those who don’t use their soul
They’re only prisoners
It’s a fight for your life, there’s no wrong from right
There are no miracles
You work day and night, you put up a fight
To make it meaningful
At the set of the sun, when you think it’s all done
You’ll know it’s just begun
Now he passes up the time
Having to fight for his new life
Plays to a full crowd every night
And he’s finally found what’s right
Everyday things change
Everyday things rearrange
Lonely are those who don’t use their soul
They’re only prisoners
It’s a fight for your life, there’s no wrong from right
There are no miracles
You work day and night, you put up a fight
To make it meaningful
At the set of the sun, when you think it’s all done
You’ll know it’s just begun

Hey baby I need you like I need water in my lungs
Hey darling I need you like I need water in my lungs
You’re always near me
Except when I need you to hear me
You always feel me
Except when I need you to heal me
All I want is a new day
Just a chance to get away
And all I need is a new day
You best believe I’ll make my break
I thought I couldn’t get enough
I couldn’t live without your touch
But you were never there for us
And I know your love is dangerous
All I want is a new day
Just a chance, a chance to get away
And all I need is a new day
You best believe I’ll make my break
Said I need you, think I need you, but do I need you
See I need you like I need water in my lungs

Kill Me Now
03:08
|

Tim just overdosed, and now he’s dead
And I just can’t get his voice outside my head
About to spike my vein, my soul is bare
But why am I telling you, you don’t care
Why don’t you kill me now, just kill me now, just kill me now
Why don’t you kill me now, just kill me now, just kill me now
Why don’t you kill me now, just kill me now, just kill me now
Why don’t you kill me now, just kill me now, just kill me now
I’m tired of the lack of meaning to each day
I’m tired of watching my friends swiftly pass away
How did I get here
How did I get here
Why don’t you kill me now, just kill me now, just kill me now
Why don’t you kill me now, just kill me now, just kill me now
Why don’t you kill me now, just kill me now, just kill me now
Why don’t you kill me now, just kill me now, just kill me now

Maybe I'm Crazy

Maybe I’m crazy
Thinking you’re the one for me
It’s so frustrating
After all of the things I’ve seen
You’re so jaded and you lie
I can see straight through all your alibis
But I just can’t get you out of my head
Maybe I’m crazy
It drives me crazy
When you smile so perfectly
My thoughts are weighted
Who’s on the other side of that screen
You’re so jaded and you lie
I can see straight through all your alibis
But I just can’t get you out of my head
Maybe I’m crazy
After all of the games we played
You still took the best of me
And you turn me into just what I hate
And it makes me wanna scream
I’m up nights waiting
Wondering if he’ll come home to me
Just contemplating
Who’s he with, where’s he at, what’s this mean
Now I’m so jaded
You don’t even try
And I’m asking myself why
I just can't get you out of my head
No I just can’t get you out of my
I just can’t get you out of my
I just can’t get you out of my head

Anything New
03:04
|

There’s not too much that’s left to say
Cuz we’ve said it all a hundred ways already
And one more time sure won’t convey anything new
And I’m watching headlights getting closer
The girl behind the wheel I barely know her
Losing my mind, my composure, is that anything new?
Try to keep from going under
But these walls haunt me like thunder
And I realize this love was ours to lose
Why can’t we grow from our mistakes
Just start anew and not lose our way
Sun is up, haven't slept in days, is that anything new?
And if this car runs outta gas
I guess that’s it, no looking back
Give up on me and let that be that, till you find someone new
And she’ll keep you out from under
And you’ll never have to wonder about me and you and everything we used to be
And she’ll keep you out from under
And you’ll never have to wonder about me and you and everything we used to be
There’s not too much that’s left to say
Cuz we’ve said it all a hundred ways already
And one more time sure won’t convey anything new
And one more time sure won’t convey anything new

Wishful Thinking
04:57
|
|||
He was always caring
He was always wondering bout the why
Why we’re always searching
Searching for the one that makes us whole
She was always staring
Staring out the window at the sky
Wondering bout the future
Wondering if he could feel like home
Who knows where we’ll go
Who knows what we know
Who knows how we feel
Does this make us real?
He was always smiling
Smiling at the thought of her embrace
But sometimes he would wonder
Wonder if she really made him whole
She was always thinking
Thinking bout the things he did for her
How he made her happy
But did he ever really feel like home
Who knows where we’ll go
Who knows what we know
Who knows how we feel
Does this make us real?
He was bored and tired
Staring out the window at the sky
Sick of all their fighting
Sick of never ever being whole
She was feeling lonely
Lonely even though they shared a bed
In that shit apartment
Knowing it would never feel like home
Who knows where we’ll go
Who knows what we know
Who knows how we feel
Does this make us real?
