As I'm dreaming of a spaceship, not looking for a safe trip
I'm not gonna spend my time trying not to step on your toes
Still wonder what my family & friends think, hanging on by a thread of an old trick, please take your time I'm trying to hang on
This ship is sinking save yourself
there's nothing left to see here
Take a look at the sun, before we come crashing down
I can no longer aim to please you, I only suffer I'm addicted too
We say we'll make a change as we sit at home and rot
I'm gonna try to concentrate now, it’s the hardest part but I'm willing to take this chance even if I'm left alone
This ship is sinking save yourself there's nothing left to see here
Take a look at the sun, try it one more time
Nothing left to see here, take a look at the sun- its not that clear in my eyes its not that clear.

Gut Feeling

What kind of stories do you tell yourself
Do you feel sorry are you convinced or mad?
Wished it was someone else instead
Gut feeling couldn't listen to you then
Hold me down I feel inside old regrets I tried to hide
Gut feeling couldn't listen to you then
Hold me down I feel insane pointing fingers, who's to blame?
I tried to reason with the voice inside my head
But he's not listening he just acts as if I'm...
Gut feeling couldn't listen to you then
Hold me down I feel inside old regrets I tried to hide
Gut feeling couldn't listen to you then
Hold me down I feel insane pointing fingers, who's to blame?
I tried to reason with the thoughts running my head
But they're not listening they just act as if I'm dead

Rumors

Rumors are going on were sinking slow and running out of fuel
The signs are here we look away
How is it that we don’t seem to care?
Our eyes are burning up and the ghosts come crawling out
Do you sleep at night?
If there was an answer, if the world was coming to an end
It's hard to let a dream go
And its harder to face you're losing something that wasn't there
Our eyes are burning up and the ghosts come crawling out
Do you sleep at night?
This can be over when we say the word, when we face what we truly are, do you sleep?..
You don’t know the rest of it,I have no rest from it
Assuming it's for the best
Now were waiting for some guidance, attraction
This can be over when we say the word, when we face what we truly are. how do you sleep..

Write It Down
01:32
|
|

This rush that I feel inside makes me feel that I'm alive
I didn't mean to have this fight but we live just to survive
Better write it down
So you don't forget your fears
And I'm certain this reaction is the fear
Fight this feeling don't close your eyes memorize
Don't fall asleep
Better write it down
So you don't forget your fears
Dare to do the opposite, ask yourself is it this the life I wanted
We're all stuck in this circle, this is it, stick to your choice.
We're all stuck in this circle, stick to your choice and live with it.
This rush that I feel inside makes me feel that I'm alive
Better write it down
So you don't forget your fears

Maybe One Day

|

Maybe one day it will rise the courage and the guts
Wanna tell a story it seems impossible I know I'm the one in charge of it
It comes and goes in reality but in my head it's already near the end
In the future I see everything so clear
Try to make something happen I try to finish what I started
All the colors are getting blurry
What about taking one step at a time
What about the fears that come up inside
It comes and goes in reality but in my head it's already near the end
In the future I see everything so clear
cause I put things in a box ,I throw it out to the sea and think that I am free now this is freedom to me
ahhh maybe one day

I don’t like what I hear
still trying to avoid
Were moving on
You don't care anymore you're never interested
In how I feel were on the verge of regression again
It's a different kind of weather
It’s a different kind of rain
The songs I wrote about you this is the end of it
I'm moving on and its harder much more than it seems
I don't like what you mean you're trying to prove a point
Keep pressing forward but it doesn't feel different to me
It's a different kind of weather
It’s a different kind of rain
Trying to understand the way it goes

Black Coffee

I've been paralyzed,
i've been set aside
I spent my life encouraged not to face your crimes
I'm running out of strings to pull
It's not a gold mine it's an empty pool
I'm sick of banging my head
This is a game for one you are the only son
You spent your days ignoring hiding from everyone
Scared it'll fall apart
Covering your foot steps just to keep your crown
I'm running out of strings to pull
It's not a gold mine it's an empty pool
I'm sick of banging my head
Would you read it for me
What the cards are saying
What do you see in our future?
I got lost in all the words, thought I found my way back home
I don’t know what I'm looking for

Sick Of This Mess

I'm sick of this mess
Fed up with the stress
Won't you help me out
Bail me out of here
Complaining is so easy when we stand besides the suffering
Sleep with our regrets and wake up with the fears
Hanging on to our necks, hanging on, what's next?
I've had enough of this
Trouble's up in our minds
Embarrassing losses and all we hide
The truth we find
sometimes it's so hard to stay
sometimes my heart is beating for miles and miles away
I've had enough of this
Trouble's up in our minds
Embarrassing losses and all we hide
This time I'm barely breathing, the waves are tall you can feel the tide
I'm not letting go this time
The truth we find

Bad Habits

I'm the one who has the power let me rise from the secretary chair
Move on to a better cycle
wake up the alarm clock broke down
I'm slow, and its taking my time, I know I'm fossilized I'm made of stone, Fossilized and full of lies
false alarm and this is nice
I'm calling for deeper times
I've got some contradictions up in my head
I've gotta push through them
Gotta push them away
I changed my ways decided to take action in my life
My hand moves on its own making ridiculous moves
as I enter the room and I wish for it to stop
Bang my head against the table and you say it’s the end
I'm slow, this is taking my time, I know I'm fossilized
I've got some contradictions up in my head I've gotta push through them
Gotta push them away…bad habits, bad habits.

Stuck In A Rut
01:21
|
|
||
|
Shredded pages filled with broken words, as I wait in my room
I cant see where I first began this has no end
I promised myself to be done before tomorrow comes
…a promise broken daily
All my life I've been running around, I'm on the right track this time
Never got things done I was stuck in a rut
I found a way out
I'm staring at the building standing still, so neurotic we are
Its not hard to see how its all a dream, we cant control this thing
I promised myself to be done before tomorrow comes
..a promise broken daily
All my life I've been running around, I'm on the right track this time
Never got things done I was stuck in a rut
I found a way out, I think I found a way

No Communication
01:08
|

I'm no politician but deep down I know (the politicians are full of shit)
it's a basic human will to love & grow (so we are left to deal with it)
The warlords on my side are the same as yours-
we all know the simple truth that lies below
No, we don't communicate
I'm sad to say it's happening again
It's a 2 edged sword, we're both on the losing end
They have been forcing to look at life as if its us vs. them (you have to learn to see right through their lies)
what kind of faith are you trying to sell me now?
(its time to realize)
they're only trying to make it worth their while
No, we don't communicate
I'm sad to say it's happening again
It's a 2 edged sword, we're only trying to work things out between ourselves, trying to fix this but this is out of our hands

Lies
01:33

|

I've been sick for too long no matter what I'd do
It just comes back to haunt me
The feelings took over energy that I lost
I can't walk in those feet
Can't walk in those feet
can't look with the same eyes again
Can't touch in the heat,
you're too cold, too warm for me
Loss of appetite, don’t get into the fight
Everything will be alright tonight
I'm telling you it'll be alright
I Can't walk in those feet
can't look with the same eyes again
Can't touch in the heat,
you're too cold, too warm for me
Now is the time to confess your sins
Or you'll end up like your mother did
Do you have unanswered questions or doubts in your heart?
Now is the time to confess your sins
Or you'll end up like you fucking did
Do you have unanswered questions or doubts in your heart?
There was this guy he used to tell me lies
There was this guy he was afraid of life just like me
Lies! Tell me lies, tell me lies, tell me..

Waste Of time
01:18
|
|

You're wasting my time and
I'm wasting good wine just for you
I'm feeling sick so its time to go
I believe that I'm aware now
Oh what a waste of time
Oh what a waste
The positivity the possibilities in life
We say "its not for me" then figure out it's bad advice
You're wasting my time and
I'm wasting good wine just for you
I'm feeling tired so its time you go
I believe that I'm aware now
Oh what a waste of time
I've been sitting out here all day
I didn’t mean it but I'm here to stay the night
What a waste of time

Waiting in Line
00:42

|

I'm waiting in line all alone, got nobody to call
See your face, don’t wanna see your face don’t wanna wait here get me out of this place
I'm waiting since 9 AM you told me nine, now it's already ten
See your face, don’t wanna see your face don’t wanna wait here get me out of this place
Everybody's sitting no one's making a sound, the TV's on but the volume is down. "please have a seat you're more than welcome to wait"
all you got is magazines from 2008.

Failing
01:13
|
|

You can't run away from it you never could
It’s an inseparable part of what you call yourself
Over and over again trying to gain control
And I'm failing to succeed losing concentration you should go away
This monkey isn't tamed It's been this way for years
I'm failing to succeed
I'm bailing I think I'm running
I'm failing to succeed I'm out
When you're running out of time it feels too late
You say I'm losing my head I think I'm suffocating
I'm failing
I'm too scared to succeed
I'm bailing I think I'm running
I'm failing to succeed I'm out
When you're running out of time it feels too late
You say I'm losing my head I think I'm suffocating

Wake, Work, Sleep
01:24
|
|

Head over water just enough to suck air
Cement in my shoes pulling me where
Sharks and sea creatures await their prey
But I'm gonna live to see another day
Just want to play in a punk band
Just want to go skate with my friends
But I'm caught on a wheel in a rat race
The daily grind is on my case again
We've got to work until we lose ourselves
And even though it's wake work sleep
I'm gonna find a way to make ends meet
I'm a crowd pleasure but I've got free will
And just a few daily hours of time to kill
This is my battle, this is my war
Out to fight burnout to the very core
I want to leave it all behind and go
Across the world just to play a show
One life, I've got to live it
While they expect me to keep give, give, givin'
I say that's it, I say no more
