My Own Hell 03:12
lyrics
buy track
Blank piece of paper I need to convey Innermost feelings & thoughts gone astray One second older & halfway through life Never stop learning or watch your decline Addicted to streaming is news even real Now music divides us where once it could heal Is this all just nonsense Or something someplace else Do you even notice Or is it my own hell Over ambitious no strength from the top Elected on kindness love watching us rot Politics broken the taxpayer cries Continue to struggle while most of them lie Cast out all morals the worst women & men Swords equate violence so I choose the pen Is this all just nonsense Or something someplace else Do you even notice Or is it my own hell Trump the worlds loser coming undone Lies & plain stupid mocking our trust Keep on repeating the same fights each year Never seem happy Why are you here ? True to your story when put on the spot Ascend through the fury they can like it or not Always stay humble keep love intertwined Don’t forget to be happy a break from these times Silence the voices some painted unfair Sit down stay focused it’s all in the air Is this all just nonsense Or something someplace else Do you even notice Or is it my own hell Is this all just nonsense Or something someplace else Do you even notice Or is it my own hell

Keep dredging up drama where none was before When we ask for a reason you slam all the doors My misery is not yours so why make yours mine Self motivation will get you out over time Sit there just waiting for a chance to complain How did we get here will you just go away Division & difference invade the same space I hear your opinion but mines not the same If we all lived as equals there’d be no one to blame Sort out your problems let me go my own way We forgot how to talk Forgot how to care Running in circles Here's always there Government assistance at the top of the slope The era of lazy & those who’ve lost hope When all misconceptions turn out to be true Common sense will prevail point the finger at you Division & difference invade the same space I hear your opinion but mines not the same If we all lived as equals there’d be no one to blame Sort out your problems let me go my own way I said Division & difference invade the same space I hear your opinion but mines not the same If we all lived as equals there’d be no one to blame Sort out your problems let me go my own way You’ve left us divided & forced into groups Bitch moan & whine when we don’t jump through your hoops Hold pointless meetings that won’t save the day Rewriting history to stir up more pain A world without labels seems dandy & fine You keep making them up & drawing a line Division & difference invade the same space I hear your opinion but mines not the same If we all lived as equals there’d be no one to blame Sort out your problems let me go my own way

Smoke & Mirrors 04:00
lyrics

You can dream of anything Can’t dream away this life Sticks & stones all the broken bones Be grateful you survived So many things that can colour your world Hard work is just part of the fight Create smoke & mirrors to disguise all the hurt Forgetting the lessons we learned Opportunities come by like ships in the night Don’t let them keep passing you by Don’t let them keep passing you by Don’t let them keep passing you by by by by You can dream of anything Can’t dream away this life Sticks & stones all the broken bones Be grateful you survived Something keeps pushing you to bathe in the light So out of the shadows you turn We all fall at one time trying to do what is right All the bruises you thought you deserved So drown in your sorrow lose all those around You don’t really share their concerns You can dream of anything Can’t dream away this life Sticks & stones all the broken bones Be grateful you survived Underneath the willow tree Is where the demons lie Sticks & stones that no one knows Be thankful you’re alive You step up to battle though no ones at war Dreams end up all on the floor Only one thing can stop you as you look at yourself Motivation awaits you at dawn You can dream of anything Can’t dream away this life Sticks & stones all the broken bones Be grateful you survived You can dream Sticks & stones all the broken bones Be grateful you survived

Father 03:02
lyrics

Were you even there when I came into this world Or just another phone call around the globe you twirled Did you even care she was 16 in your bed The lies you must have told to get into her head No you didn’t love her if you did you would have tried Then she passed can’t bring her back the wrong parent had to die All that I remember is not seeing you at all The only thing you ever did was make your stories tall You were meant to be my hero your father earned that role Made me what I am today gave me strength inside my soul Too stupid to acknowledge the part you never played Grew up way before my time you’re still wandering today What were you expecting when you showed up on that day Your mother wanted us to talk now it’s fuck you all the way Tried to settle down once didn’t fit into your style Gave me half a brother then left him in the wild He never even knew you now you want his love He may show forgiveness but me i’m fuckin’ done Just like my beginning I won’t be there for your end You haven’t hurt my feelings years of just pretend You’ll never find a someone your arrogance in the way Karmas on your spineless back there’ll be no one at your grave

Something We Can Use 04:14
lyrics

Just look where you’re standing those closest around The world has turned evil love still makes a sound Illusions of grandeur left for you to find The common goal is loud & clear your path you must define More to life than heartache from people you don’t know We need a dose of dopamine to get ready for the show Smile stop singing only blues A pleasure to meet you is there something I can do Smile let’s see what we can do Turn all of the anguish into something we can use A job protecting Taylor insecurity acts Swift Comes over like the baddest blood creates a mental rift We’ve all gone to a dark place can’t take it anymore Searching for a sacred way to escape internal wars I know you have it in you to succeed at every step Cliches are coming hard & fast rise up & do your best Smile stop singing only blues A pleasure to meet you is there something I can do Smile let’s see what we can do Turn all of the anguish into something we can use Smile Smile Smile Oh oh Smile Smile Smile Oh oh I’ll leave you with the choice of being glad or sad Did you let the voices interfere every thought you ever had Get by just knowing there’ll be someone in hand Share all of the wisdom devise a simple plan Can we all just find one reason for us all to get along I’m hoping that your sense of sane can understand this song Smile stop singing only blues A pleasure to meet you is there something I can do Smile let’s see what we can do Turn all of the anguish into something we can use Smile

Nobody's A Saint 04:06
lyrics

Can’t see the point of being good in this life Where nobody’s perfect & not everyone’s right Victims of circumstance hope locked in a crate The way we are raised all part of the game Move through the days in an infinite haze Something inside you relives your own pain Past is a memory if you’ve long paid your dues Continual kindness is the path we must choose The damage is done so just move along No need for hiding even if you were wrong Admit your mistakes & deal with the fate Your conscience is clear but nobody’s a saint You learn to be helpful but in some peoples eyes Mistaken for weakness they’re not worth your time Done with disguises wear your heart on your sleeve All those against us may as well leave Shallow & hollow always ugly inside They have the problem so stick with your pride The damage is done so just move along No need for hiding even if you were wrong Admit your mistakes & deal with the fate Your conscience is clear but nobody’s a saint The damage is done so just move along No need for hiding even if you were wrong Admit your mistakes & deal with the fate Your conscience is clear but nobody’s a saint The person who they think you are is further from the truth Try to be the best you can but somehow always lose Time to leave the misery & see what we can do Tired of trying to free yourself from things you can’t undo So try to be honest feel respect in return Villains & monsters await you each turn Now all of us know we can weather the storm Continue divided can’t say we weren’t warned Comfort the lonely shed the burdens you bear Feel it inside you & encourage to share Help those affected by things they can’t change Let love come assist you & let go of the shame The damage is done so just move along No need for hiding even if you were wrong Admit your mistakes & deal with the fate Your conscience is clear but nobody’s a saint

Discontented 03:45
lyrics

As the day begins you feel that everything is fine Take a sip of coffee to ease into your mind Despondent & sad musings infect after awhile You strive to raise the bar but can’t even raise a smile Discontented with the way things are & you don’t know why (you don’t know why) Disconnected with the changing times & you don’t know why (you don’t know why) You spend your day reluctantly fixing everybody's faults & when it comes to face your own just lock them in the vault Frustration grows inside you with every down beat hit Go about your day & you wonder “is this it” Everything you do leaves you feeling insecure Not holding onto chance is a fine thing that i’m sure Discontented with the way things are & you don’t know why (you don’t know why) Disconnected with the changing times & you don’t know why (you don’t know why) Discontented with the games they play & you know why (I think you know why) Disconnected with the things they say & you know why ( I think you know why) Stop thinking everybody hates almost everything you do You’re worth much more than daily tasks I know you know it’s true More & more you feel that it is your turn to just shine Persevere demeaning tasks so you never cross the line Stare into the eyes of love to feel just what you need If you’ve never found someone find someone who believes Discontented with the way things are & you don’t know why (you don’t know why) Disconnected with the changing times & you don’t know why (you don’t know why) Discontented with the games they play & you know why (I think you know why) Disconnected with the things they say & you know why ( I think you know why)

See you everyday but it’s never enough Always take my breath away then fill me back up My goddess & a Queen at the same time Fills me with warmth you still laugh at my lines Everything you’ve gone through all of the pain I hope that i’m still the sun for your rain Oh how I love you each word rings so true Sworn to protect you you feel it too For all of the bad times the good ones shine through Whatever the outcomes I did them with you All of the nightmares have faded away Your beautiful smile still lights up my day Intimate contentment more than just lust Pledge my allegiance to an eternity of trust Gave my life meaning right from the start My greatest achievement was winning your heart Oh how I love you each word rings so true Sworn to protect you you feel it too For all of the bad times the good ones shine through Whatever the outcomes I did them with you Oh how I love you you never want more Oh how I need you can I give you it all Oh how I love you we still have our space Oh how I need you 2 hearts 1 flame Safe loved & calm no one else would I choose Do you still feel the same things now the decades have moved Excitement & laughter makes us stronger as one Enjoy all the hours of babble & fun Work hard to prove I am worthy of you You say it’s all me but love works in twos Oh how I love you each word rings so true Sworn to protect you you feel it too For all of the bad times the good ones shine through Whatever the outcomes I did them with you Oh how I love you each word rings so true Sworn to protect you you feel it too For all of the bad times the good ones shine through Whatever the outcomes I did them with you

I’d like to get to know you All the things that are driving you insane It’s just that i’m not like you The lazy don’t deserve the time of day Work hard for some glory Or die before the masses learn your name The morals & ethics you learn throughout life Don’t try to test me if you keep yours inside Unknown it can lead us astray Unwise decisions coming from a heartfelt place Unknown let us start a new phase Explore new horizons keep the neurons in play Twist & turn true stories Leave out just enough to bring us back See education falling Money slips through every papered crack Failed every child Let’s get tough love back not talking smack Unknown it can lead us astray Unwise decisions coming from a heartfelt place Unknown let us start a new phase Explore new horizons keep the neurons in play Tired of shouting at the top of your lungs I’d ask for some help but you don’t know what you want Write little stories celebrities shoes The state of a nation a reflection of you Last thing you’ll remember Your journey staring back & judging you Why stand back & hide it Heroes fall into your point of view Moving on without you Cast a vote to show you what we do The moment of truth comes more than once You act like you notice are you really that dumb Unknown it can lead us astray Unwise decisions coming from a heartfelt place Unknown let us start a new phase Explore new horizons keep the neurons in play Unknown it can lead us astray Unwise decisions coming from a heartfelt place Unknown let us start a new phase Explore new horizons keep the neurons in play

Does each phase seem like the one before When chasing greatness turns into a chore Experienced heartbreak death & untruths For every disaster you’ve found your way through So clean out the memories reorder your mind Repeat after me it will all be just fine La la la la la la la So much confusion that nobody sees La la la la la la la Take this moment relax & be free Have you ever worked with someone who wastes days Epitome of lazy with conniving foul play Unaccepting of failure dislike all that you do Nose to the grindstone while they just breeze through Ignore all their small talk enjoy your day Picture their fate then recite in your brain La la la la la la la So much confusion that nobody sees La la la la la la la Take this moment relax & be free Ready to blow nobody knows Enact your revenge then let all of it go Find the right role calming the soul Stop & take notice on the way to your goal Made so many mistakes you just didn’t mean All of your haters kept stealing your scenes You’ve long cleaned your game up quickly got wise Sincere emotions & truth got you by Take out the small piece of time that you know Don’t harbor regrets set your sail & go La la la la la la la So much confusion that nobody sees La la la la la la la Take this moment relax & be free La la la la la la la So much confusion La la la la la la la La la la la la la la
