Today 04:32
Today, is just not my day/ I've barely opened my eyes and already I dread it/ Your lungs are filled with greed/ You prey on the weak until you've taken everything/ By day my reflection turns grey/ Like a bottomless black hole pit, I play my part, inside this machine/ I need a fire in my life/ Somewhere to focus my heart before I go insane/ If I take too long to wake myself up/ I'll become tongue tied, I'll lose myself/ If I give myself to yuppie love ties/ This white collar crime, will never end/ You know we can’t be friends/ You can’t think of anyone but yourself/ I need a fire in my life/ Somewhere to focus myself or I’ll go insane/ If I take too long to wake myself up/ I'll become tongue tied, I'll lose myself/ If I give myself to yuppie love ties/ This white collar crime, will never end/ I’m tired of being careful/ I want to be someone that stands for something real/ I’d tare it all apart/ Just to feel I stand for something, I stand for something real
2.
Part Of Me 02:57
Hey look at you being anybodies fool/ don't you know your anything but ordinary/ I know its hard to escape what feels like certainty even as were all headed south/ I look at a photograph and see I m paying for past mistakes/ There framed in light are memories of everything that could've been/ Not a day goes by it will always be a part of me/ not a day goes by it will always be a part of me/ it will always be a memory/ Is it everything that you thought it could be/ is it all as clear just like the birds and the bees/ it entertains us all for a while
3.
Restless 03:20
It’s late, I’m awake/ I‘m staring at the walls thinking when will I fade, into the night and turn it into something/ Today is a daze/ Thinking how am I gonna get out of this place, into a life I can turn it into something/ I’m getting restless and my defenses are wearing down/ I’m getting older am I strong enough to turn this around/ I like the terrible things and I don’t know what it means for me/ If today is the day/ Then why won’t it ever just change, into a life I can turn it into something/ I’m getting restless and my defenses are wearing down I’m getting older am I strong enough to turn things around/ Have I taken too long feels like the weight could break my bones/ I'm getting restless here waiting for something to turn/ And every time that I try, it comes at the cost of my pride/ I never felt I had my chance to shine/ I can still hear your voice edging me on in my stride/ “It’s gonna be fine son your gonna be fine”/ And all the laughs they take away/ We lost something on the way

City Lights 04:00
To get back to where we started, we gotta get back up first/ Where we started from/ To take a look at where the sun is, we gotta get back up first/ Where we started from/ Cause we’re all searching for a place we’ve heard of/ A home to call our own, we can’t let it disappear/ No more looking over my shoulder, this rusty compass points me/ Where I want to be/ No more giving in to reason, I’ll take what I get and I know/ It’s all on me/ Cause we're all searching for a place we've heard of/ A home to call our own, we can’t let it disappears/ I’ll find a way/ I’m not going to change/ I can’t stop thinking there is a better place/ Over time we reach the city lights and it electrifies me/ I feel warmth I hear music/ It’s pulling me in
5.
Lately 03:28
It feels like all my life/Has been clouded by smoke/ From the barrel of a gun I can’t let go/ Somehow all this time/ The things I wanted the most/ Took a back seat to my faults it seems/ Lately clocks are ticking against me/ Slowly withering barely, holding on to my pride/ Lately building up and then breaking/ I'm a sinner a saint, I die one day at a time/ It feels like all my life/ Has been clouded by smoke/ From the barrel of a gun I can’t let go/ This all-time favorite, land field, snake pit, such is life/ But I can’t let go/I’m my best when I’m with you/ There is nothing I can’t do/Such a shame that it’s not true/ One more lie I swear I’m through
6.
Spares 04:08
I had millions in my pockets but I never thought I'd be saved/ I was used to flying rockets but I never thought I’d be scared/ We’re falling in reverse, holding onto words/ Time, if we had time/ Save tonight there are no spares/ Always, always honor what it meant/ I was used to taking shortcuts but they never led me anywhere/ I was standing on the edge and never felt that it was crumbling/ We’re falling in reverse, holding onto words/ Time, if we had time/ Save tonight cause there are no spares/ Always, always honor what it meant/ Save tonight and dive with one last breath/ Always, always honor what it meant/ You and me we are colors in a sky that’s falling/ It’s dark and gloomy now/ It’s time to take a bow
