Save it baby
I can’t stand another lie
And you say it baby
While you’re lookin me right in my eyes
You don’t even care about me, no
Why don’t you just set me free, yeah
If you can’t, understand,
this is sinking sand
And it’s quick, in the thick,
of it what’s the trick
We could tear it down and start again if you wanna,
gotta lose ‘fore we can ever win- let’s begin (begin),
no matter where we been, forget it all in the end
Fake to make it
So they say, now so do I
Take to prayin
It can’t hurt, so why not try
Really I’ll try anything, no
I can take a little sting, yeah
But if you, can’t push through,
I can see your side
Though I’m sad, I’d be glad,
if you tried to try
We could tear it down and start again if you wanna,
gotta lose ‘fore we can ever win- let’s begin (begin),
no matter where we been, forget it all in the end

Every other day
Think I say the same thing
I’m just tryin to cope
But I hope so I sing
Just want someone to hear me
Don’t mean I need you near me
Not tryin to sound
Like I’m down on people
Maybe it’s true
But emotion’s feeble
Tried to rely on reason
It passed just like the seasons
Time to be through
This pain and hate I do
Gotta go (x2)
If I just try
Maybe I’ll be just fine
Wanna know (x2)
What’s good, what’s true (x4)
Takin my time
Tryin to make lines matter
Whether they thin
Or I cut em fatter
Talkin straight in the mirror
Can’t see or hear me clearer
Clean slate take
And erase what’s hazy
Wipe my mind
Cause I’m fine not crazy
Substance kept me distracted
Sorry bout how I acted
No matter what
I’m in a rut, case shut
But I’m glad (x2)
Nowhere to go
From here but up, you know
If that’s bad (x2)
What’s good, what’s true (x4)
What’s good, what’s true (x4)

Therapy
03:56
|

If only you would show me
Maybe I could love you better (x2)
Cause I been feelin lonely
When we’re spendin time together (x2)
What happened to the one
Bar none was on my side
It seems to me I need
To free what all’s inside
And therapy’s great
But it ain’t the same
And how did that make you feel
Hundred thousand dollar question (x2)
But every time I hear it
Instantly get indigestion (x2)
Cause that’s the go to don’t
You know the pros so care
Long as you pay they’ll stay
And while you say they’ll stare
Yeah, therapy’s great
But it ain’t the same
They both got pros and cons like
Are you livin or you dyin (x2)
But one thing is for sure that
Both are gonna leave you cryin (x2)
Each are worth what you pay
To make it through the day
To find your way or play
If you stray from the fray
Yeah, therapy’s great
But it ain’t the same

Do
03:25

Spend my nights alone
Know it’s you that I’m needin
Try to find a home
Now my heart gets to bleedin
Now I ain’t found a single way
To let these feelings pass through
And I ain’t gonna mask my words
So darlin I’ll just ask you
Do you wanna spend
a little time with me
Maybe I got somethin
that could set you free
I think you’re the one
that’s gonna make right
All the things that I
can’t change with my mind (x2)
I do
I guess I do
Well I’ll try to (x4)
Thank your lucky stars you
got somebody to call friend
Every single day you
gettin closer to your end
Now I don’t mean that you should be
out choosin you a pine box
But rather that what matters ain’t
the pretty things that you bought
Prior to me tuckin
myself in the ground
I’ll be able to take
one good look around
Then I’ll get on in
and I’ll try to pray
Ask myself if I
believe and I’ll say (x2)
I do
I guess I do
Well I’ll try to (x4)
It’s true
It’s you, I knew
Can I come through? (x4)

Share

Didn’t think love was
Somethin that we could share
Tried to forget
Pressin on without a care
But now I see your face
Every place I go
Was sure I wouldn’t tell
But you should know
What does that say to you
Does it ring true to you
Do you feel what I do
Cause I just gotta know
Was it all just a show
Should I stay, should I go
Tell me right quick
Do you pick me for your own
Know that I’m grown
But got crazy in my bones
Well not that word
But now you get the gist
I’ll gladly show you
My prescription list
Do you still wanna try
Or would you rather die
Than to be in my life
I need help, yeah it’s true
But I think, so do you
We could both pull us through
Baby I’m just prayin
That your love can free my mind
Cause I’ve been jaded and faded
But now I’m leavin that all behind
And I know I can help
Take your love off the shelf
You and me, no one else
But in time, if it fades
We can just rearrange
Thank you, please leave the stage
Baby I’m just prayin
That your love can free my mind
Cause I’ve been jaded and faded
But now I’m leavin that all behind
Maybe I’m just prayin
That some love can free my mind
Cause I’ve been jaded and faded
But now I’m leavin that all behind
Lately I’ve been sayin
That I’d love to lose my mind
Cause I’ve been livin and givin
But now I’m leavin that all behind
Lookin inside like
There might be somethin there

Flight
03:05
|

This life will come and will go
It just goes to show
Ain’t long to find what you need
Soon enough you’ll see
Fast asleep, I think when we dream
We get closer to the reason why
We’re all here at all
So just go to bed, let your head
Take you up and tell your body bye
Then when you do you can choose
Just what’s next for you
Will you stay up or come down
Hop on in the ground
Fast asleep, I think when we dream
We get closer to the reason why
We’re all here at all
So just go to bed, let your head
Take you up and tell your body bye
If you’re feelin low
Get your mind high, sayin
If you’re feelin low
Get your mind up high
If you’re feelin low
Get your mind high, sayin
I don’t see no problem with
Tryin to take flight (x2)
Guess now it’s time, first the climb
Now the steep decline
But once you hit, don’t you quit
Just climb out that pit
I believe we all need to dream
To get closer to the reason why
We keep pressin on
So just go to bed, let your head
Take you up and give it one more try
If you’re feelin low
Get your mind high, sayin
If you’re feelin low
Get your mind up high
If you’re feelin low
Get your mind high, sayin
I don’t see no problem with
Tryin to take flight (x2)

Kind
02:56

Can you really give a minute
Or even three
It ain’t yours to give it, is it?
Well, that’s the thing
It’s free but...
Could cost you quite a bit
Let’s see what...
(if) you lost your head in it
Your time could repeat
Or it could stop on a dime
It’s fine, just go give
what you’ve been gettin in kind
Slow it down by closing your eyes
And breathe in deep
Focus on the air in your lungs
And soon you’ll see
The trees and...
Breeze on the water now
You’re back and...
You see no time has passed
Your time could repeat
Or it could stop on a dime
It’s fine, just go give
what you’ve been gettin in kind
Tickin down, soon you in the ground
No one around
But don’t frown just look what you found
And hear the sound
Of someone...
Comin from high to judge you
It’s done
(but) fate still can’t seem to budge you
Your time could repeat
Or it could stop on a dime
It’s fine, just go give
what you’ve been gettin in kind
Your time could repeat
Or it could stop on a dime
It’s fine, just go give
what you’ve been gettin in kind

Tell
03:53

What do I do
When the foot don’t fit this shoe
I’m wearin
Ain’t nothin new
So I look to just push through
Pain blarin
So hard to walk
From your damage lined in chalk
Come on now
Can’t seem to talk
You said plenty, I’m in shock
Run on now
I need some time
I need some time
Soon too be fine (x2)
Why do I try to be what you tell me
Lord only knows (x2)
Best one of two
Competition, small then grew
Now towers
Guess both’ll lose
Can’t quit til the last cards’ drew
Love cowers
I need some time
I need some time
Soon too be fine (x2)
Why do I try to be what you tell me
Lord only knows (x2)
Done through and through
Now I guess I better prove
I’m better
Shiny and new
Without you I’ll be a real
Go getter
I need some time
I need some time
Soon too be fine (x2)
Why do I try to be what you tell me
Lord only knows (x4)

Drain
03:44
|

Used to have some fun but
Now I live with misery
Everything I try is
Met with reverse victory
No love
No good
No hope
Know I could
So dumb
So smart
So numb
So apart
Whoa man
Whoa wait
Whoa fam
Whoa it’s late
Go on
Go do
Go long
Go be you
Don’t you keep circlin that drain
Don’t you keep circlin that drain
Fore too long you either dead
Or you gonna find yourself insane
Want to get on out but
I just end up spinnin round
Some just hope to float til
From above they’re finally found
No love
No good
No hope
Know I could
So dumb
So smart
So numb
So apart
Whoa man
Whoa wait
Whoa fam
Whoa it’s late
Go on
Go do
Go long
Go be you
Don’t you keep circlin that drain
Don’t you keep circlin that drain
Fore too long you either dead
Or you gonna find yourself insane
Found a way to free me
From all this I’m sinkin in
I let go and know some-
times givin up is a win
No love
No good
No hope
Know I could
So dumb
So smart
So numb
So apart
Whoa man
Whoa wait
Whoa fam
Whoa it’s late
Go on
Go do
Go long
Go be you
Don’t you keep circlin that drain
Don’t you keep circlin that drain
Fore too long you either dead
Or you gonna find yourself insane

Fine
02:47
|

I was lookin for reasons
Back when I was young
Far before my mistakes
All on myself I brung
Why’d the good ones go
And yet I’m still around
Think I hear them talkin
To me through the ground
But you said
It’s fine
It’s all in
My mind (x2)
I was wonderin’
Will I ever know enough
To be comfortable when
Somebody calls my bluff
It’s not that I’m afraid
You ain’t believin’ me
More like possibly I
May be deceiving me
But you said
It’s fine
It’s all in
My mind (x2)
Something may be there
Then again maybe not
Either way you might
As well give one a shot
Or just try them all
And see what speaks to you
After all life’s short
So why not pick and choose
But you said
It’s fine
It’s all in
My mind (x2)
