The sky starts to dribble as I trip on my back The moon drops some ash from its burning cigarette Re-birthing the lost art of forming my face to glass To show the world my newest thoughts So they compare them with the last So I based my soul on this cartoon that I found reading in my room It only took one week to take over me Just take a bow, life's for the bittersweet If you have a complaint, why don't you just have a seat? It’ll take a while So take a number… Your eyes stare and I stare inside of them You walk over gesturing a light for your cigarette Re-birthing the lost art of building my heart out of steel So you won’t see it shatter when you tell me how you really feel So I based my soul on this cartoon that I found reading in my room It only took one week to take over me We’re the ones who survive, we are the bittersweet If you must know more, shut up and just have a seat I'm going crazy I am not what I seem I loved you both But you both never loved me I gave you my life But you just wanted my dreams I'm going crazy, I am not what I seem I'm going crazy, I am not what I seem I'm going crazy, I am not what I seem Take a bow, life's for the bittersweet It only took three weeks for you to get over me Take your time, don't be so surrounding We were meant to survive We are the bittersweet It only took one week for that thought to take over me Take a bow, take a number

Good Advice 03:12
I'm the man, I knew it I just had to look in the mirror to tell Thanks Monique for the great advice, your life's looking good as well I was where you were, dressed and ready to die I had to take a good look and a strong talk eye-to-eye Some good advice, everybody needs some They just want you to give it away Some good advice, everybody needs some People want it easy, they don't even wanna try You gotta stick it to ‘em, gotta stick around, be willing to die You gotta take the hard road, handouts make me sick I'd rather do it myself than stepping in other people’s shit Some good advice, everybody needs some They just want you to give it away Some good advice, everybody needs some I don't know what to say I don't know what to do But you gave me great advice You really came through And I was all messed up And I was torn in two You gave me great advice You really came through I don't know what to say I don't know what to do But you gave me great advice You really came through And I was all messed up And I was torn in two You gave me great advice You really came through You really came through You really came through

I was showing you the colors of my heart Shined in a flicker of the sun Passed through the rain that falls on my transgressions You two seem to get along So why don't you just get it on? You see, I was gonna give you everything… I thought that the conversation was going correct But baby all you wanted was to take my courage You still say that someday we'll get married Do you have the right me? Please baby, don't make me laugh loudly! Someday came suddenly And you were fast asleep in the wrong bed Someday came… And all my friends were saying how you did me wrong But I don't know where they get their facts from But when I talked to you, you told me not to speak, then you said, "it's not over ‘till we’re dead" Remember when we babysat that mansion that you flooded to the seams? Baby you are mentally crazy We were curled up in your bed Your daddy came in, threats arrest "You see, he takes care of me" No, you didn't say a word, you stayed asleep, your tongue got burned Looking back, you were always embarrassed of me I guess I should have seen it when we started That you always liked me but you acted so retarded So you couldn't show it if you wanted? But that’s not true You showed it to every other guy too Someday came suddenly And you were fast asleep in the wrong bed Someday came… And all my friends weree saying how you did me wrong But I don't know where they get their facts from But when I talked to you, you told me not to speak, then you said, "it's not over ‘till we’re dead" Do you remember the cops’ lights When we were driving that late night? We thought we were going down Hand in hand, don't look back now I go to think on the rooftop But that was our place where we would Make love 'till the sun came up and would shine on our love… Someday came suddenly And you were fast asleep in the wrong bed Someday came, suddenly, oh suddenly Someday came suddenly And you were fast asleep in the wrong bed Oh someday came… And all my friends were saying how you did me wrong And I don't know where they get their facts from But when I talked to you, you told me not to speak then you said, "it's not over ‘till we’re dead"

Get Back Up 03:41
When the pressure comes on like a tidal wave I just want to ride But I get so afraid Oh, I wish away the days I wish that I could change If changing is comfort Why do I still remain the same? So I restart over and over again Trying not to be influenced Oh, I just need to get back up, just get back up and try again, try again It's not too late to live life, to redo your moments I'm on my knees just get back please, just get back and let me try again, try again It's not too late to live again So I tried to walk like you, to talk like you I should have found my truth Everyone around me just looked at themselves Didn't know how to warn me But it was obvious I needed help So I restart over and over again Begging to be influenced Chorus - Oh, I just need to get back up, just get back up and try again, try again It's not too late to live life, to redo your moments I'm on my knees just get back please, just get back and let me try again, try again It's not too late to live... Life is a series of moments Just keep moving through them Just do the best you can Life is a series of moments Just find someone to share them with Oh, I just need to get back up, just get back up and try again, try again It's not too late to live life, to redo your moments I'm on my knees just get back please, just get back and let me try again, try again It's not too late to live again To live again! Oh...

Full Circle 04:37
Here's the story about the boy who turned his life to stone. No goals Just a band and some rock ‘n' roll His art was the only thing that kept him afloat Ruled by the drugs that helped him concentrate Fooled by the faces that smiled his way He exclaimed, “There’s no time to gloat People don't you get it? We’re all in the same boat” We fell from Grace and Grace was all we had to keep us from our fate So if you've found the thing you love, just do it before it becomes too late Here's the story about the boy who turned his life to gold His goals were his band and his rock ‘n' roll His story was one that needed to be told His art was the only thing that kept him afloat Ruled by the drugs that made him feel remote Teachers told him off Preachers told him “No!” It's crazy ‘cause were all in the same boat We fell from Grace and Grace was all we had to keep us from our fate So if you've found the thing you love, just do it before it becomes too late We fell from Grace and Grace was all we had to keep us from our fate So if you've found the thing you love… Just do it before it becomes too late Too late It's not too late It's not too late Too late, too late We fell from Grace and Grace was all we had to keep us from our fate So if you've found the thing you love, just do it before it becomes too late We fell from Grace and Grace was all we had to keep us from our fate So if you've found the thing you love, just do it before it becomes too late

I guess I never really meant to lose you in the first place And all my thoughts dwell on the time we had It was insane I often think of our time and how we spent it I think all the time about those times Maybe I was naive a bit But baby we’re the perfect fit The perfect fit Thinking back to coming home to you asleep in my bed Getting mad I couldn't talk to you You couldn't see it Oh, what I wouldn't give for you to be here now Asleep or awake, I wouldn't care about Maybe I was naive at best Baby just give it a rest… Baby you’re the song I sing, you’re the song that’s stuck in my head Oh my God, I can hear it Baby you’re sweetest breeze, the only air that I would breathe in Oh my God, I can feel it I admit there were times that I was running away But baby, now I just need you to stay Baby you’re the song I sing, you’re the song that’s stuck in my head Oh my God, I can hear it Baby you’re sweetest breeze, the only air that I would breathe in Oh my God, I can feel it I admit there were times that I was running away But baby, now I just need you to stay I admit there were times that I was running away But baby. now I just need you to stay! I just need you to stay! I can feel it Feel it I can feel it

Somewhere 04:25
I set you up You’re doomed to fail You'll never get past the reason I set the time, the mood, the place, the setting, the season Your never knowing how You'll never know how to get to me, treason And I caught you by the mouth and all that’s left to show is a lesion And all my time is spent wondering Oh what will I do to get back in the game? Gotta start somewhere, I gotta start somewhere Maybe all my time is spent wondering how I know you’re out there somewhere I need you now more than I ever did You gotta be here somewhere I’ll stop playing games when I know you’re here for real I set you up You’re doomed to fail You'll never get past the mission I kill you off You’re my character Your toe tag says the reason You’re never knowing how You'll never know how to get to me Treason And all my time is spent wondering Oh, what will I do to get back in the game? Gotta start somewhere, I gotta start somewhere Maybe all my time is spent wondering how I know you’re out there somewhere I need you now more than I ever did You gotta be here somewhere I’ll stop playing games when I know you’re here for real When you’re here for real I know you’re out there somewhere I need you now more than I ever did You gotta be here somewhere I’ll stop playing games when I...

The LymeLyfe 05:04
Half the things I do I could never sing I guess I'm just all wrapped up that way I have been described as being insane I guess it's all how you view the rain I have been blessed to never be despised Except by my own self-conscious mind, my own self-conscious mind But you did it now, you did it now You try to call me out No one’s gonna change me No one’s gonna change… I've got these pills in my pocket and I'm not afraid to use them I'm not afraid to use them I can hear my joints screaming tear me free Poor things don't even know that they’re diseased Someday I'd like to know that all this pain Has not been used in vain I'm giving you a chance to see through my eyes Oh, I let you into the contraption that I've labelled as my mind But you did it now, you did it now You try to call me out No one’s gonna change me No one’s gonna change… I've got these pills in my pocket and I'm not afraid to use them I'm not afraid to use them And I'm not afraid to use them No I'm not afraid to use them No one’s gonna change me No, no one’s gonna change… I've got these pills in my pocket and I'm not afraid to use them And I'm not afraid to use them And I'm not afraid to use them And I'm not afraid to use them

I said oh… You left me nauseous from being so precautious with my time You said you wanna move all the things I do, from the front of your head to the back of your mind You said you want to be with me, and all you do is flee the scene You said you wanna run, so Philly here we come, and all the things I do for you will disappear in time I said oh, oh, how?

To get to good vibrations I had to endure waves of Chatter in my ear That wasn't really there I had to take time to remind myself To take a shot in the dark to describe to the rest that this was my test of consciousness So what I heard your voice in my head again Just laugh it off and talk over it These auditory hallucinations That I was getting from my medications There all just memories playing back that I have had And I know this sounds crazy But when I think about this lately As I look back I wonder how I made it through that? To get to a good place Expelling the bad space The negative air was Delightful to exhale I'd like to take a minute to turn off the lights and try to find my way around ‘Cause that’s what it felt like before I was found So what I heard your voice in my head again Just laugh it off and talk over it These auditory hallucinations That I was getting from my medications There all just memories playing back that I have had And I know this sounds crazy But when I think about this lately As I look back I wonder how I made it through that? I don't know how I made it through that I don't know how... I don't know how I made it through that So what I heard your voice in my head again Just laugh it off... These auditory hallucinations That I was getting from my medications There all just memories playing back that I have had And I know this sounds crazy But when I think about this lately As I look back I wonder how... These auditory hallucinations That I was getting from my medications There all just memories playing back that I have had And I know this sounds crazy And when I think about this lately As I look back I wonder how I made it through that? Oh, I made it through that

Palm Reader 06:12
Wish things were different on a rainy night You were soaking in oil and my sins I called out in a native tongue, “collision!” People were running and caving in Just know whatever happens, happens And I'll tell them all you’re a brave man And now the sirens are mixing as they blend into a death march And I'm fading… Lights they flash Glass into my eyes Bones break, crack He flies out the car door Can't take this back Who stops this from happening? Is it God, or is it man? Is it ever really man? Who takes care of the soul placed in his hands? Do you control it? Or do you avoid it? Do you give it up to something you call ‘holy’? Yeah… Is it ever really... Man, I wish things were different I burned my finger prints off just to stay relevant You pull me out of bed say you wanna do big things But if I showed you my dreams I know you'd never believe me, that we… We died in the street Lights they flash Glass into my eyes Bones break, crack He flies out the car door Can't take this back Who stops this from happening? Is it God, or is it man? Is it ever really man? Who takes care of the soul placed in his hands? Do you control it? Or do you avoid it? Do you give it up to something you call holy? Yeah… Is it ever really man? I can't see so clearly I start to slither around the people that are next to me But they don't seem to notice, they don't seem to care Dirty looks are exchanged about the paraphernalia I called you up I cursed you out I said I'm dead so don't look around Lights they flash Glass into my eyes Bones break, crack He flies out the car door Can't take this back Who stops this from happening? Is it God, or is it man? Is it ever really man? Who takes care of the soul placed in his hands? Do you control it? Or do you avoid it? Do you give it up to something you call holy? Yeah... Is it ever really man? I don't want to feel it I've got my head buried down in my hands I'm palm readin' I'm trying to figure how this will end With your legs on fire You shot out like a shooting star And we found you not far from where I crashed the car Man? Is it ever really man? Who takes care of the soul placed in his hands? Do you control it? Or do you avoid it? Do you give it up to something you call holy? Yeah… Is it ever really man?

Green & Blue 04:53
I want to spend my youth feeling alive Not locked in my room sleeping the days away that I should be spending outside When I try to write, it's all just a haze I do my best to keep it fuzzy I'm not strong enough to see What I really need to see And then I say, that I, that I'm not good enough And then I say, that I, that I'm not good enough This dose has got me feeling so blue and so down These colors this medicine comes in I wear as my flag now Green and blue, I salute you proud Inside I'm two enemies fighting to stay alive Criminal acts and investigations run dry And this is why I'll always say… That I, I don't feel good enough I’ll always say, that I, I don't feel good enough Enough's enough! Enough's enough! And then you said That I, that I am good enough And then I say That I, that I am good enough Throw away these pills Try to save my bones I'm erased by a cloud I'm replaced by a bomb Throw away these pills Try to save my soul I feel strong enough, so bring the withdraw on Throw away these pills Try to save my bones I'm erased by a cloud I'm replaced by a bomb Throw away these pills Try to save my soul I feel strong enough Enough’s enough! Enough's enough, enough's enough Enough's enough Enough's enough, enough's enough

My Son 05:19
We'll be singing Singing hallelujah when they come home And when they get off of those boats we'll be screaming their names It comes out as gibberish All at the same time they'll be so overtaken They won't know what to do We'll be singing Hallelujah Hallelujah Oh, my son is home We'll be singing Singing hallelujah when they come home And we'll be standing up so tall and on shoulders to see them And they won't know what to do To them we’re just a water color painting with no texture A blurry red, white, and blue Who's singin'... Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Oh, my son is home He came home My son is home He came home He came home My son is home
