Running Out Of Nice
02:45

You are condescending, entitled selfish and you do not care
You’ve got those tendencies that other people mostly do not share
I’m running out of nice
Because of you –
Because of you!
I’m not saying I’m angry.
I’m just saying I can be.
Hate is not the word. I would use despise.
Every time you come around, you make me wish that you were never there
Every time you talk to me, you make me want to rip out all my hair
I don’t hate you.
But, I don’t like you –
I’m running out of nice
I’m running out of nice.
Because of you –
Because of you!
I’m not saying I’m angry.
I’m just saying I can be.
Hate is not the word. I would use despise.
I’m running out of nice
I’m running out of nice.

Let This Go

It doesn’t seem that long ago
That I told myself to stay away.
And we both knew that this was wrong
But we went thru with it anyway.
And I can’t tell if I feel sorry.
I’m at war with myself,
Because I know what I want, but I know that its wrong.
Why can’t it be someone else?
You’ve got an innocent heart, that I don’t want to hurt
Call it fate call it what you will
I’ve known you for so many years
And we would always play these games
I just can’t help the way I feel.
But now our situation’s changed –
And now the stakes have gotten higher
I’m at war with myself,
Because I know what I want, but I know that its wrong.
Why can’t it be someone else?
You’ve got an innocent heart, that I don’t want to hurt
I hope I’m doing the right thing –
Cuz so far, it doesn’t feel right.
And there’s a reason why we keep on seeking out each other
We’ve done this most of our lives
So, if I’ve crossed that line, please let me know
I’ve got to walk away. I’ve got to let this go.
And for most our lives, its always come so close.
But now that we’re here, we should let this go

Four Walls
03:06

|

You say –
That God has got a plan for you, and he will take good care of you
Okay –
No disrespect to your beliefs, but that hinders all your opportunities
And you’ve done nothing –
You’ve done nothing at all
And, now you are stuck in –
You’re stuck in between your four walls
You Complain –
But, until you take control of things, nothing’s ever gonna change
And, one day –
You’ll wake up and you’re all alone, and everything you loved has gone away
You’ve built up these walls
Your self-isolation’s cut everyone off
And you’ve done nothing –
You’ve done nothing at all
And, now you are stuck in –
You’re stuck in between your four walls
So, I hope that you’re comfortable
Because escape is impossible
And you are responsible
I told you once before
And I’ve explained a million times
That things can be much better once you change what’s in your mind
And there you go again
You’re waiting on a sign
That will never happen, so you’re only wasting time

Make It Work
02:59
|
|

For every step I take I’m taking 7 back
Always fail, all I do is try – Story of my life
It happens to me
All of the time –
As soon as I pick myself back up, something drags me right back down
So, Don’t...Don’t
Give up on me yet
And Please...Please
Give me one more chance
I just want to fix myself, because I know I can
I’ve gotta make it work.
I’ve gotta make it work.
I find myself in a hole I’m trying to
climb out of it, I’m not proud of it.
Self-esteem is slowly fading away, because
I’m running out of time –
But, even if I fail right now, at least I know I tried
So, Don’t...Don’t
Give up on me yet
And Please...Please
Give me one more chance
I just want to fix myself, because I know I can
Sometimes it seems impossible to ever get ahead.
But I’ll keep on pushing through, until I end up dead
I’ve gotta make it work
I’ve gotta make it work.

Falling Down

Why do you always feel this way?
Like you’ll never catch a break.
Its those thoughts that poisons minds
And leaves you crippled all the time.
You’re scared of falling down
You’re scared of falling down.
So pick yourself back up again
You’re scared of falling down
You are your own worst enemy
Wasting time and energy
Going nowhere cuz you’re scared.
You act like life is so unfair
Why are you always afraid?
Why do you always complain?
You’re never gonna make that change
Cuz you’re scared of falling down
You’re scared of falling down
So pick yourself back up again
You’re scared of falling down

Thoughts & Prayers

Thoughts and prayers –
What does that even mean?
And why do we always send them after every tragedy?
They don’t care -
They mustn’t be concerned.
Cuz’ instead of doing something, they just say those three words.
Sending condolences your way
Cuz’, that’s so easy to say, so easy to say –
Keep pretending that everything’s okay
But nothing will change, nothing will change
Thoughts and prayers -
Just leave it up to God
Instead of taking action and repairing what went wrong
Nothing’s There –
Just a bunch of empty words.
Its just the junk food of our language, and it just sounds so absurd.
Sending condolences your way
Cuz’ that’s so easy to say, so easy to say –
Keep pretending that everything’s okay
But nothing will change, nothing will change

Your Spite
02:34
|
|
||

I saw the pain reflecting in your eyes.
Built up emotions from all those times
That I bruised your soul, my most heinous crime
I wish I could tell you why
You need to know, I made those promises
A long time ago, when we were vulnerable.
But now you’ve gone away,
And I’ve let you down once more.
And I don’t blame you for your spite.
I’ll play the fool, and I’ll take advantage
You’ll play my victim and get damaged.
Cuz, everything I come in contact with
Always seems to fall apart.
You need to know, I made those promises
A long time ago, when we were vulnerable.
But now you’ve gone away,
And I’ve let you down once more.
And I don’t blame you for your spite.
Despite.
The fact.
That I am just a lost cause.
With no regard for how you feel –
You need to know, I made those promises
A long time ago, when we were vulnerable.
But now you’ve gone away,
And I’ve let you down once more.
I wish I could only make things right.

Undone

I’ve never been good at this life –
I’ve never been good when things change.
And, I’m only satisfied –
When there’s rain.
It pours, connects to my soul.
That’s what makes me feel alive.
And something happened to me when I crossed that line.
I’ve come undone -
Fix me up completely
Only you can save me,
From this wretched monster I’ve become –
I’m drowning in the deep-end
Sinking and I can’t swim.
And, now I know that this is all my fault -
My fault –
Something inside of me died –
My whole life just rearranged.
The inhibitions in my mind –
Faded away
There gone, I can’t tell right from wrong.
Now I’m wasted everyday.
And, I’ve wasted so much precious time
And It’s too late.
I’ve come undone -
Fix me up completely
Only you can save me,
From this wretched monster I’ve become –
I’m drowning in the deep-end
Sinking and I can’t swim.
And, now I know that this is all my fault -
My fault -
I’ve got to learn to stand my ground -
And learn to be a man again –
And turn it all around –
I’ve come undone
(Only you can save me now)
I’ve come undone
(Only you can save me now)
