My Own Hell
03:12
|
|||
Blank piece of paper I need to convey
Innermost feelings & thoughts gone astray
One second older & halfway through life
Never stop learning or watch your decline
Addicted to streaming is news even real
Now music divides us where once it could heal
Is this all just nonsense
Or something someplace else
Do you even notice
Or is it my own hell
Over ambitious no strength from the top
Elected on kindness love watching us rot
Politics broken the taxpayer cries
Continue to struggle while most of them lie
Cast out all morals the worst women & men
Swords equate violence so I choose the pen
Is this all just nonsense
Or something someplace else
Do you even notice
Or is it my own hell
Trump the worlds loser coming undone
Lies & plain stupid mocking our trust
Keep on repeating the same fights each year
Never seem happy
Why are you here ?
True to your story when put on the spot
Ascend through the fury they can like it or not
Always stay humble keep love intertwined
Don’t forget to be happy a break from these times
Silence the voices some painted unfair
Sit down stay focused it’s all in the air
Is this all just nonsense
Or something someplace else
Do you even notice
Or is it my own hell
Is this all just nonsense
Or something someplace else
Do you even notice
Or is it my own hell

Division & Difference
03:14
|
|||
Keep dredging up drama where none was before
When we ask for a reason you slam all the doors
My misery is not yours so why make yours mine
Self motivation will get you out over time
Sit there just waiting for a chance to complain
How did we get here will you just go away
Division & difference invade the same space
I hear your opinion but mines not the same
If we all lived as equals there’d be no one to blame
Sort out your problems let me go my own way
We forgot how to talk
Forgot how to care
Running in circles
Here's always there
Government assistance at the top of the slope
The era of lazy & those who’ve lost hope
When all misconceptions turn out to be true
Common sense will prevail point the finger at you
Division & difference invade the same space
I hear your opinion but mines not the same
If we all lived as equals there’d be no one to blame
Sort out your problems let me go my own way
I said
Division & difference invade the same space
I hear your opinion but mines not the same
If we all lived as equals there’d be no one to blame
Sort out your problems let me go my own way
You’ve left us divided & forced into groups
Bitch moan & whine when we don’t jump through your hoops
Hold pointless meetings that won’t save the day
Rewriting history to stir up more pain
A world without labels seems dandy & fine
You keep making them up & drawing a line
Division & difference invade the same space
I hear your opinion but mines not the same
If we all lived as equals there’d be no one to blame
Sort out your problems let me go my own way

Smoke & Mirrors
04:00
|
|||
You can dream of anything
Can’t dream away this life
Sticks & stones all the broken bones
Be grateful you survived
So many things that can colour your world
Hard work is just part of the fight
Create smoke & mirrors to disguise all the hurt
Forgetting the lessons we learned
Opportunities come by like ships in the night
Don’t let them keep passing you by
Don’t let them keep passing you by
Don’t let them keep passing you by by by by
You can dream of anything
Can’t dream away this life
Sticks & stones all the broken bones
Be grateful you survived
Something keeps pushing you to bathe in the light
So out of the shadows you turn
We all fall at one time trying to do what is right
All the bruises you thought you deserved
So drown in your sorrow lose all those around
You don’t really share their concerns
You can dream of anything
Can’t dream away this life
Sticks & stones all the broken bones
Be grateful you survived
Underneath the willow tree
Is where the demons lie
Sticks & stones that no one knows
Be thankful you’re alive
You step up to battle though no ones at war
Dreams end up all on the floor
Only one thing can stop you as you look at yourself
Motivation awaits you at dawn
You can dream of anything
Can’t dream away this life
Sticks & stones all the broken bones
Be grateful you survived
You can dream
Sticks & stones all the broken bones
Be grateful you survived

Father
03:02
|

Were you even there when I came into this world
Or just another phone call around the globe you twirled
Did you even care she was 16 in your bed
The lies you must have told to get into her head
No you didn’t love her if you did you would have tried
Then she passed can’t bring her back the wrong parent had to die
All that I remember is not seeing you at all
The only thing you ever did was make your stories tall
You were meant to be my hero your father earned that role
Made me what I am today gave me strength inside my soul
Too stupid to acknowledge the part you never played
Grew up way before my time you’re still wandering today
What were you expecting when you showed up on that day
Your mother wanted us to talk now it’s fuck you all the way
Tried to settle down once didn’t fit into your style
Gave me half a brother then left him in the wild
He never even knew you now you want his love
He may show forgiveness but me i’m fuckin’ done
Just like my beginning I won’t be there for your end
You haven’t hurt my feelings years of just pretend
You’ll never find a someone your arrogance in the way
Karmas on your spineless back there’ll be no one at your grave

Something We Can Use
04:14
|
|||
Just look where you’re standing those closest around
The world has turned evil love still makes a sound
Illusions of grandeur left for you to find
The common goal is loud & clear your path you must define
More to life than heartache from people you don’t know
We need a dose of dopamine to get ready for the show
Smile stop singing only blues
A pleasure to meet you is there something I can do
Smile let’s see what we can do
Turn all of the anguish into something we can use
A job protecting Taylor insecurity acts Swift
Comes over like the baddest blood creates a mental rift
We’ve all gone to a dark place can’t take it anymore
Searching for a sacred way to escape internal wars
I know you have it in you to succeed at every step
Cliches are coming hard & fast rise up & do your best
Smile stop singing only blues
A pleasure to meet you is there something I can do
Smile let’s see what we can do
Turn all of the anguish into something we can use
Smile Smile Smile Oh oh
Smile Smile Smile Oh oh
I’ll leave you with the choice of being glad or sad
Did you let the voices interfere every thought you ever had
Get by just knowing there’ll be someone in hand
Share all of the wisdom devise a simple plan
Can we all just find one reason for us all to get along
I’m hoping that your sense of sane can understand this song
Smile stop singing only blues
A pleasure to meet you is there something I can do
Smile let’s see what we can do
Turn all of the anguish into something we can use
Smile

Nobody's A Saint
04:06
|
|||
Can’t see the point of being good in this life
Where nobody’s perfect & not everyone’s right
Victims of circumstance hope locked in a crate
The way we are raised all part of the game
Move through the days in an infinite haze
Something inside you relives your own pain
Past is a memory if you’ve long paid your dues
Continual kindness is the path we must choose
The damage is done so just move along
No need for hiding even if you were wrong
Admit your mistakes & deal with the fate
Your conscience is clear but nobody’s a saint
You learn to be helpful but in some peoples eyes
Mistaken for weakness they’re not worth your time
Done with disguises wear your heart on your sleeve
All those against us may as well leave
Shallow & hollow always ugly inside
They have the problem so stick with your pride
The damage is done so just move along
No need for hiding even if you were wrong
Admit your mistakes & deal with the fate
Your conscience is clear but nobody’s a saint
The damage is done so just move along
No need for hiding even if you were wrong
Admit your mistakes & deal with the fate
Your conscience is clear but nobody’s a saint
The person who they think you are is further from the truth
Try to be the best you can but somehow always lose
Time to leave the misery & see what we can do
Tired of trying to free yourself from things you can’t undo
So try to be honest feel respect in return
Villains & monsters await you each turn
Now all of us know we can weather the storm
Continue divided can’t say we weren’t warned
Comfort the lonely shed the burdens you bear
Feel it inside you & encourage to share
Help those affected by things they can’t change
Let love come assist you & let go of the shame
The damage is done so just move along
No need for hiding even if you were wrong
Admit your mistakes & deal with the fate
Your conscience is clear but nobody’s a saint

Discontented
03:45
|
|||
As the day begins you feel that everything is fine
Take a sip of coffee to ease into your mind
Despondent & sad musings infect after awhile
You strive to raise the bar but can’t even raise a smile
Discontented with the way things are & you don’t know why (you don’t know why)
Disconnected with the changing times & you don’t know why (you don’t know why)
You spend your day reluctantly fixing everybody's faults
& when it comes to face your own just lock them in the vault
Frustration grows inside you with every down beat hit
Go about your day & you wonder “is this it”
Everything you do leaves you feeling insecure
Not holding onto chance is a fine thing that i’m sure
Discontented with the way things are & you don’t know why (you don’t know why)
Disconnected with the changing times & you don’t know why (you don’t know why)
Discontented with the games they play & you know why (I think you know why)
Disconnected with the things they say & you know why ( I think you know why)
Stop thinking everybody hates almost everything you do
You’re worth much more than daily tasks I know you know it’s true
More & more you feel that it is your turn to just shine
Persevere demeaning tasks so you never cross the line
Stare into the eyes of love to feel just what you need
If you’ve never found someone find someone who believes
Discontented with the way things are & you don’t know why (you don’t know why)
Disconnected with the changing times & you don’t know why (you don’t know why)
Discontented with the games they play & you know why (I think you know why)
Disconnected with the things they say & you know why ( I think you know why)

Two Hearts One Flame
03:35
|
|||
See you everyday but it’s never enough
Always take my breath away then fill me back up
My goddess & a Queen at the same time
Fills me with warmth you still laugh at my lines
Everything you’ve gone through all of the pain
I hope that i’m still the sun for your rain
Oh how I love you each word rings so true
Sworn to protect you you feel it too
For all of the bad times the good ones shine through
Whatever the outcomes I did them with you
All of the nightmares have faded away
Your beautiful smile still lights up my day
Intimate contentment more than just lust
Pledge my allegiance to an eternity of trust
Gave my life meaning right from the start
My greatest achievement was winning your heart
Oh how I love you each word rings so true
Sworn to protect you you feel it too
For all of the bad times the good ones shine through
Whatever the outcomes I did them with you
Oh how I love you you never want more
Oh how I need you can I give you it all
Oh how I love you we still have our space
Oh how I need you 2 hearts 1 flame
Safe loved & calm no one else would I choose
Do you still feel the same things now the decades have moved
Excitement & laughter makes us stronger as one
Enjoy all the hours of babble & fun
Work hard to prove I am worthy of you
You say it’s all me but love works in twos
Oh how I love you each word rings so true
Sworn to protect you you feel it too
For all of the bad times the good ones shine through
Whatever the outcomes I did them with you
Oh how I love you each word rings so true
Sworn to protect you you feel it too
For all of the bad times the good ones shine through
Whatever the outcomes I did them with you

Neurons In Play
04:14
|
|||
I’d like to get to know you
All the things that are driving you insane
It’s just that i’m not like you
The lazy don’t deserve the time of day
Work hard for some glory
Or die before the masses learn your name
The morals & ethics you learn throughout life
Don’t try to test me if you keep yours inside
Unknown it can lead us astray
Unwise decisions coming from a heartfelt place
Unknown let us start a new phase
Explore new horizons keep the neurons in play
Twist & turn true stories
Leave out just enough to bring us back
See education falling
Money slips through every papered crack
Failed every child
Let’s get tough love back not talking smack
Unknown it can lead us astray
Unwise decisions coming from a heartfelt place
Unknown let us start a new phase
Explore new horizons keep the neurons in play
Tired of shouting at the top of your lungs
I’d ask for some help but you don’t know what you want
Write little stories celebrities shoes
The state of a nation a reflection of you
Last thing you’ll remember
Your journey staring back & judging you
Why stand back & hide it
Heroes fall into your point of view
Moving on without you
Cast a vote to show you what we do
The moment of truth comes more than once
You act like you notice are you really that dumb
Unknown it can lead us astray
Unwise decisions coming from a heartfelt place
Unknown let us start a new phase
Explore new horizons keep the neurons in play
Unknown it can lead us astray
Unwise decisions coming from a heartfelt place
Unknown let us start a new phase
Explore new horizons keep the neurons in play

Take This Moment
03:23
|
|||
Does each phase seem like the one before
When chasing greatness turns into a chore
Experienced heartbreak death & untruths
For every disaster you’ve found your way through
So clean out the memories reorder your mind
Repeat after me it will all be just fine
La la la la la la la
So much confusion that nobody sees
La la la la la la la
Take this moment relax & be free
Have you ever worked with someone who wastes days
Epitome of lazy with conniving foul play
Unaccepting of failure dislike all that you do
Nose to the grindstone while they just breeze through
Ignore all their small talk enjoy your day
Picture their fate then recite in your brain
La la la la la la la
So much confusion that nobody sees
La la la la la la la
Take this moment relax & be free
Ready to blow nobody knows
Enact your revenge then let all of it go
Find the right role calming the soul
Stop & take notice on the way to your goal
Made so many mistakes you just didn’t mean
All of your haters kept stealing your scenes
You’ve long cleaned your game up quickly got wise
Sincere emotions & truth got you by
Take out the small piece of time that you know
Don’t harbor regrets set your sail & go
La la la la la la la
So much confusion that nobody sees
La la la la la la la
Take this moment relax & be free
La la la la la la la
So much confusion
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
