Come out tonight, don’t hold back
If you trust me, just say “yes”
Do something new, leave your room
Break the rules, make your move
Wherever you stand take my hand
Whoa, don’t let go
Whoa, don’t let go
From the back to the front row
Just enjoy the show
Whoa, don’t let go
Hold tight to me, my mood is weak
At a crux now with the worries and my dreams
The future is daunting
The passed time haunting
You say words are just words
Yet they all come to taunt me
Ignore the talk, we’re headed for the top
Whoa, don’t let go
Whoa, don’t let go
Learn the song, sing it loud
And enjoy the show
Whoa, don’t let go
So hold your breath, now let out the air
I’ll never forget that you were there
Our love is gift
Let them stare
Whoa, don’t let go
Whoa, don’t let go
Dance with me, live your truth
And our hearts will grow
Whoa, don’t let go

Scratched CD

Let me guess what you’re gonna do
My money’s on you, you, you
Face up, I left you face up
You were peaceful
Could barely see the scratch
I knew it couldn’t last
Messed up a good thing
Now if I give it a spin
Guaranteed to hear it again
In the same spot now that it’s always been
I can guess what you’re gonna do
Let me guess what you’re gonna do
Always get the same song stuck on repeat
Hoping not to notice, but it’s hard to believe
Fighting with the voices in my head
Is it repetitive or defected?
You’re like same song stuck on repeat
Now the skip skip skip is almost intrinsic
An echo I find hard to enjoy
Hear you tick tick tick
And of course I wish for entertainment
Yet, I’m annoyed

All About You
02:47
|

Such a dream to hear you say
All the things about your day
Morning sun brighten up my way
You make me know the happiness
Even in the days that are so distressed
That’s when I see you can be my sweet escape
I say it all the time, it never gets old
Your gentle waves… it’s all about you
Another time to build these ties
Picking up the pieces that fell behind
Come on, come on take this great escape
Can’t believe I’m here with you
Your always in mind so I’m never unglued
Now, don’t let this moment fade away

Mean Green
03:00
|

We are friends
But where it ends is where the ugliness is
Nursing madness again
Can’t let it take me
Something unhealthy
On my heart,
In my head
Swallow it down
Tied up with
Envy, jealousy
Mean green took over me
Honest fondness, yet I can place
The impression that we’re in a race
Feel it sizzling
It’s happening to me
Misty green
In between, silently
I’m suffering
When you’re around
Doubled with
Envy, jealousy
Mean green took hold of me
Take over me, take over me
Feeling it now when you’re around
Caught a buzz but it made me sober
Now the green is taking over
I’ve got that envy, jealousy
Mean green took over me

Some Nights
03:05
|

Never been one to dwell on past reactions or distractions
Lately, I’ve been breaking my own rule
A sad song to bring you up
The happy place from when you were young
Memories that shaped everything about you
Some nights I wonder
When will this happiness be over?
Is it all just something I made up inside my head?
I hope it's not because this is fine by me
Maybe it’s just optimistic
Thinking that this time will be different
Have I finally pieced it all together?
Will it all just fail again?
Nothing changes beginning to end
Am I destined to a path of a never ending uphill battle?
(Some nights)
Are we gonna fall apart?
Can these feelings last forever?
Should know by now but I can't remember
(Some nights)
Are you gonna stick around?
Or just long enough to
knock me down again

Day Goes Down
01:56
|

When the day comes down
And everybody says it’s just a cycle
Through suffered dreams
We will flee for our survival
I’m sorry, son
At six this war can’t be won
I still hold hope for you
When the day comes down
And when the night does fall
You’ll just be growing tired of the same thing
I hope you’ll say
“I’ll be a better person than you made me”
Though pulled and torn
This world can keep you warm
There’s better nights ahead
When the day comes down
I’m not your mother dear
I know we’ve barely met
And you don’t know me
We’ve seen the signs
You’ve been sublime in how you’ve shown me
With trust and love
I know you will rise above
The trap they set for you
When the day comes down
I still hold hope for you
When the day comes down
I still have hope for you
This world has love for you
When the day comes down

LP Song
03:43

Are you stuck in the sunrise?
Are you fading away?
Are you listening instantly, awkwardly
For every word that I’ll say
‘cause every time that I open my throat
I feel like it could be my last note
So I say take away all the meaningless days
Tell me how the hell do you cope?
I suffer from this full length album curse
That says I can write a thousand stagnant words
Well your summit is your ceiling
You have to scream how you’ve been feeling
And if they listen, then it only makes it worse
Scene uniforms, tired metaphors
A voice that I cannot ignore
‘cause it’s reminding me what’s mine is yours
But that is half a world away
And a lifetime ago or so it seems
When you laid down on me all your epic dreams
I turned them around I did some unkind things
Between our actions, my words
And our parallel deeds all say I
I left a note on your door to begin again
Did I break all the ties that I swore I would mend?
Were you left out?
This much is true I have no doubt

Never knew the rage you bring
When you drop words like “I’m suffering”
It’s okay to disagree
You’re right, so right
I can’t control what others do,
but I could live without you.
Who am I defending, who do I protect?
The ones that you ignore, that you forget
I’ll torch this bridge with a smile and happiness.
I don’t delete, I confess
Go ahead and tell me who you are inside
I guess your life is just more important than mine
Your opinions are christensing, I’m listening
Just because you made the plate
doesn’t mean I’ll digest it or even chew
The shit you prepared for me
I’ll spit it back right on to you
Dare to ask how I could do this to you
Your caprice, your demands, now I can see right through you
Won’t turn around, it’s about time you knew

My phone didn’t charge again
Somehow turned off my alarm
This is why I shouldn’t day dream
Got so much work to do
But now I’m on the 22
Glad it won’t be that much longer
In Unit G those worries are dead
One door, one more door, the foyer,
The Back of David Irish’s head
Where the rainbow ends I’m happiest

Shine

Until today every problem’s been my own
All my troubles are small
I’ve changed so suddenly
Look in the mirror that’s not me
Every stab inconsequential
And you’re crying on my shoulder
Not what I expect of getting older
I’m not strong, but for you I’ll be strong
Plant a seed to watch it grow
Water it and soon I’ll know
Can it survive the shadows of this life?
I will shine for you
If there’s just one thing I can do
And I will trust so much
The future’s bright for us
Anything, everything I ever did with too much pride
I take it back, I take it back
Any sadness or pain I caused you in your life
I take it back, I take it back
It’s a mask, I’m not happy when I laugh
Paste on a smile, inside I’m crying
It’s a task, honored faithfully ‘til my last
Because of you everyday I’m trying
When I’m gone, gone, gone
And you need strength to carry on
Just listen for this song
I’ll be here for you

A Place We've Been
04:27
|
|||
I built a home on this stage
It’s true that it’s seen better days
From the coming and the going
It’s never quite the same
And the little things that get harder with age
So give it all and give your love
A song to sing that you can be proud of
A chorus with no ending
A note that never bends
The first part of a song that’s all paper and pen
So dance by the buildings
Remember the small dreams
That remind you
You were almost home
We’re going back to a place that we’ve been
A thing that we have seen before
And probably will again
These lives are unending
A ghost we’re living in
Taking our time
We’re going back to a place that we’ve been
And with each building torn down
Well, at least we got to dance
And I would live it again
If you gave me half a chance
Or maybe I wouldn't dare
Because age has built me
We’re going back to a place that we’ve been
A thing that we have seen before
And probably will again
Make it last forever
Or throw it to the wind
Building up
We’re going back to a place that we’ve been
You and me, it’s been such a long time
What we have, I hope it never ends
All that we’ve shared, when I close my eyes,
Hear your voice a thousand miles away
And I’m home
It goes on and on and on and on, again
