Summer Fling

Fool me once and it's shame on me
Fool me twice and it's shame on all of us
For ever thinking that we could be
A better sum than each individually
Yeah you know we've tried it all before
From the long days to the late nights to the bedroom door
Yeah I don't know what's going on inside my head
You'd probably do better to make your own move instead
So let it be
I'm trying things out a lil differently
It's time to let things go
It was a summer fling, didn't you know?
We both know we got love in our hearts
But we have different drives, it's tearin' us apart
The sun is setting as we settle our debts
This is the closest to a smile as we will get

Baby, baby I'm
Fallin even more in
In love with you
You fooled my heart once, it was not enough
How much more damage could ya do?
In May came the flowers
And in June came the rain
Then the seeds met the showers
That bud would see another day
The seasons always changing
From sundown to sunrise
But do we ever step back
To defend and not attack
Baby, baby I'm
Fallin even more in
In love with you
You fooled my heart once, it was not enough
How much more damage could ya do?
Baby, baby I'm
Fallin head over
Heels for you
I need to step back before I react to
The chaos that is due
Every day has its merits
Never look back in vain
Sometimes waiting can be testing
But it's all for a grander day
Peace of mind, balance alligned
We emerge from the otherside
Standing tall, seeking wide
Endless paths to delve inside

Hey Alicia

Hey Alicia, how are you?
Did you wear a smile today?
How can I help, in this hell?
Don't be sad till May
Ohh ohh ohh noo
Hey Alicia, where are you?
I can't see through this haze
Of bold yet brittle, complex yet simple
Fervor you stow away
In close quarters, words work wonders
But don't transition easily
To the world outside, where demons lie
Let's take it one day at a time
Hey Alicia, it's nice to see ya
With eyes so full of life
I said it gets better, do you remember?
Soak up all the light
Maybe I had wanted more
But that is dead and gone, I assure
Now I think I'll take my leave
I just hope to see you happy

Lose It

I want to cry but I don't know how
My eyes have swelled up and dried out
The strain is torturous, it harms my heart
Should I have gave up from the very start?
You think you have this way with words
Yeah you do but damn they hurt
I feel the tears forming in my eyes
Like a storm brewing in the sky
And you don't know tonight
The love we had is outta sight
And you won't know tonight
Cuz I am losing my damn mind
How do you hold your head up high
While you break down these walls of mine?
Your words have turned my heart to stone
My blodd runs cold through my bones
This fortress I've built up is crashing down
I don't know when I'll hit the ground
I'll just keep climbing outta this hole
To find a life worth living for

When
03:13
|

|
Throw away all the books
With every lie you ever took
Close to heart
That have stained and left a mark
Don't let the past creep around
Don't let your demons put you down
They are weak, they are small
You will stand above them all
When the waves crash down
Not a lot of people left around
And then you'll feel like you
Can't go on
But look to me when you fall
I'll be there through it all
And then you'll see you're
Stronger than you thought
People laugh, people cry
As they wave old friends good-bye
Look ahead, the open road
Could be scary, we don't know
Heart is heavy, mind is weary
But I know it's for the best
Life is precious, same goes for you
Why wait around to start anew?
This is my scripture, this is my oath
Every word I've instilled with hope
I see no use in feelings bad
I make my own fate so I am glad
The burdens that haunt me
Are finally gone
I cast my worries
With the setting sun

Simple

Did you get what you were beggin' for?
All the toys, the fame, and glamour
Now please tell me, did you find some peace of mind
I don't believe you did
In this life we say we're livin' (But are we really alive?)
We always seem to ask for more (shouldn't enough suffice)
I want this and I want that (but damn you have it all)
When will we finally face the lights?
Joy is not born from always craving more
It's a flower, that blossoms from within
You'll never know until you try (I think it's time to realize)
Simple living may build the pride
We're gonna be alright
You finally made it, you paid off all your debts
But was it worth it? All the pain and slight regret
Have you looked at all the side effects?
I really don't think you have
We work to live, so don't live to be fake
Manipulated by screens and technology
Can I show you what really matters inside?
It's in your mind, so don't you even try to hide
Have we forgotten what matters most in life
To find success and lie, or become righteous and try?
It's hard to know, when to stop and when to go
There's no traffic light, so lean back and enjoy the ride

For the Kids
02:33

Sometimes I feel like my head is underwater
Sometimes I hear things that make me falter
But I am not afraid of the fear inside me
The time has come my dear, may you rest in peace
Cry, cry
Cry, as we wave goodbye
I can't believe the times are a changin'
But are they really? I cannot see it
We think we've come so far, the model for the world
The screams show our flaws, here's to a hundred more
I can't believe it has come to this
A toxicity has grown into a cyst
We are plagued, we are bent, our model is shit
"We are better than this," we say as we sit

I'm sorry sweetheart
That I had to leave
You were way too young to see
The roads were paved with gold
But that figure stripped them down
Was it really that profound?
Out on the street
Metaphorically
With no signs of relief
It's time for me to go
This car has space for one
Now it's time for me to run
Oh
You may call me a coward
You have the right to scream
This end justifies the means
You may say that I'm too scared
To face all of my fears
Too bad nobody cared
Yeah things could be worse off
But you can always say that's true
Your argument is moot
My sights will not be altered
Just because I'm on my own
I promise I'll come home
Again
I'm sorry sweetheart
That I had to leave
You were way too young to see
