Wake up to live another day Try not to let mind float astray Away from complications Stand firm and sternly stationed Grab another bottle that I don't need And care less about reality Forget all those around me, Forget this life I'm living And I've tried to let go And I've tried to move on But I'm stuck in this rut that I've dug for myself And I've tried to let go And I've tried to move on But I'm stuck in this rut that I've dug for myself

Tired 05:01
I'm sitting on this brick wall As I gaze across the lake that's filled up with less life than the life that's left in me Surprised cuz I don't feel like I have any life left at all What's the point and what's my purpose Is this an everlasting hell And if there's a method to this madness Someone tell me now Why does it seem so dark when there's not a single cloud up in the sky The sun is bright but it's light eludes me Why do I write these songs that make me feel like my head is gone When did it come to this I'm not as fucked up as I know some to be But there's something about this town that's killing me By the time you read this note I'll be long gone With enough cash in this bag to get me by I won't worry about the time or even what is on mind It'll just be me and my strings on the road By the time you read this note I'll be long gone With enough cash in this bag to get me by I won't worry about the time or even what is on mind It'll just be me and my strings on my own I like to think of escapes like this When I am all alone When I am all alone to think What if there was a way to get away from here I need to get away from here I need to get away from here Cuz I'm just a kid And I'm so damn sick of always doing what I'm told Cuz I'm just a kid I'm just a kid And I'm sick and tired of this I'm tired I'm not gonna live life by the books Cuz my father when he shook my hand he said If you live each day doing what you love son You'll never work a day in your life I'm tired If there's a method to this madness someone tell me now I'm tired

Perspective 03:11
I woke up just like any other day but I seem to be missing something real. I've come a ways since the days when I was younger wishing... But even now I'm wishing for something real I think I've been wishing for some perspective to come and rain down on me To teach me what it's like to live I watched my dad and grandad before me as they drank their way through bottles of family glass as they got impatient with themselves. From "get off my case" to "it's not your place" I learned that it's not so simple, to beat an enemies brick wall that may just be your own. And you'll still reap what you sow Then try to make it out alive, without the benefit of having anyone else by your side. With your one boy on your right and your little girl on your left, life's throwing curves and you're still swingin'. You always did the best you could for us. But some would say that it's not enough. But who the hell are they anyway? I watched my dad and grandad before me as they drank their way through bottles of family glass as they got impatient with themselves. From "get off my case" to "it's not your place" I learned that it's not so simple, to beat an enemies brick wall that may just be your own.

Election Day 02:24
The streets rage in a blaze The futures always hazy We say we're gonna react But in the end we don't, we're too damn lazy We've got these Signs and slogans That only lead to bitterness In the end left torn apart Stuck searching for everything that we want All of these pointless conversations Didn't Get you what you wanted so why do you feel exulted again? How can we expect the world to change if we're not even willing to change ourselves We're all on the same side What's the point in all of this You keep running your mouth putting them down Doing the same damn thing that pissed you off in the first place I tried to convince you But you persisted (kept on?) anyway There's no excuse, no saving grace Hide behind that screen and save your face How can we expect the world to change if we're not even willing to change ourselves We're all on the same side What's the point in all of this You keep running your mouth putting them down Doing the same damn thing that pissed you off in the first place You do the same damn thing that pissed you off in the first place

More than once I packed it all up Singing real friends in a car that fucking sucked Just to clear my head and make some space But there's one thing I can't seem to forget That's the culmination of all my regrets And how I just don't know how to forgive myself Better days will come again At least that's what they said Id really like to focus on tomorrow But I'm still blinded by today I need to learn how to make my own decisions before I'm old and grey I never really liked being a kid anyway Until all these bills were stacked miles high Now I'm just stuck trying to survive I still don't have what it takes to live on my own I've over drafted buying everything I own Spending recklessly will get you nowhere fast You ask me what happened to us And why our futures on hold collecting dust I want to give you everything but I already spent it all They say when trees fall down It doesn't make a sound If no one is around To watch the bark begin to break As the whole thing loses shape I only hope the grounds as soft for me when I fall Life's too short To make me break down like this And to make me Succumb to the pressure

Redundant 02:52
Redundant So I guess this ones on me how redundant for you to not see what I see I know you've got your ways and I've got mine It would've taken too much time for you to try and see Anything but yourself that completed me I know I'm still wasting time Could've picked a better life if I hadn't fucked it up and seen the world through crossed eyes I still wish you were here by my side It's like I've seen this road before I'm stuck on repeat Left alone to grind my teeth I'm melted to the core I'm still stuck on how we got here When what we wanted was so clear You said that we would last forever At least that's what I thought It's funny how they say time heals all wounds But how can it when all I see is you Everything's a constant reminder You won't give me the time of day I guess some things never change I see now that it's time for me to be on my own way Maybe someday this will all make sense But for now it feels like it never will So I'll just sit still in this corner of my room for a while and then stand Just like I've done before
