Way Up
Here comes the shine, the glow
Here comes happy followed by the hollow
There goes all the wine
And when tomorrow comes
I’ll dive into the numb
Question who I am and what I’ve become
Like a sweet soul suicide
I do this all the time
I go way up again
Way up again
Way up and then down
I go way up again
Way up again
Way up and then down
My head doctors say
Take your meds twice a day
Forgive yourself and maybe meditate
Then you will find your way
But still man nothing’s changed
I go way up again
Way up again
Way up and then down
I go way up again
Way up again
Way up and then down
I go higher than high and then I come crashing down
Here comes the shine, the glow
Way up again
Way up again
Way up and then down
I go way up again
Way up again
Way up and then down

I Promise Me

I Promise Me
Go ahead drag me down
Cause I’m bigger than your doubt
Keep sayin’ what you want
It doesn’t matter anyhow
Cause that’s me that passed you by
You’ve got dreams, but I’m making mine happen
I’m not waiting for you to come and give me life
I’m going out and I’m taking what’s mine
So no more waiting around for a rescue
And thinking about what I can’t do
This time I’m not gonna listen to you
Now that I’m gonna stop acting like
A spectator in my own life
When the hurt comes I’m gonna fight
So believe what you want to believe
Cause I am moving on, this I promise me
Cause I won’t pay the price
For your miserable life
It's not like it's only you who's ever had hurt in their life
You want company, no thanks, bye bye
So no more waiting around for rescue
And thinking about what I can’t do
This time I’m not gonna listen to you
Now that I’m gonna stop acting like
A spectator in my own life
When the hurt comes I’m gonna fight
So believe what you want to believe
Cause I am moving on, this I promise me
I’ve always lived my life
Hiding behind mights and maybes
As if all space and time
Was gonna sit around and wait for me
Now that I’m gonna stop acting like
A spectator in my own life
When the hurt comes I’m gonna fight
So believe what you want to believe
Cause I am moving on, this I promise me

We Can Never Be

We Can Never Be
I left you there
I regret that now
Cause I never said
How I felt out loud
How you changed my life
How you made me proud
To be alive
For the first time in a while
Cause baby its me
I always run
This is a habit hard won
You are perfect to me
And that’s the problem
See I would still be there
If you weren’t the one
Can’t you see that we can never be
I remember the night
That we fell in love
Watching over city lights
From the hillside above
How you played with your hair
How gentle your touch
How the September air
Swirled around us
Cause baby its me
I always run
This is a habit hard won
You are perfect to me
And that’s the problem
See I would still be there
If you weren’t the one
Can’t you see that we can never be
Sometimes I get so proud
Think I’ve got it all worked out
But in quiet of the night
When I’ve got no band-aid by my side
I weep, drink, cry and cry
Cause I never thought this is what my life would look like
I left you there
I regret that now
Cause baby its me
I always run
This is a habit hard won
You are perfect to me
And that’s the problem
See I would still be there
If you weren’t the one
Can’t you see that we can never be

The Broken Breaking Down
I’m in quite a state
All paranoid and full of rage
I’m the star witness of my every mistake
But I don’t turn myself in
After all I’d never win
And who would want to live that way
So I create a new disaster
And put myself to bed
With thoughts of ever after
Runnin’ through my head
Oh I’m alone again
And this is the happiest I’ve ever been
Is anybody listenin’
Cause this is the sound of the broken breaking down
I really like the sound
Of my own voice around
And you should be so lucky
To be near me now
My friends they have all left
I think they see me as a threat
My intellect must bring them down
So I go and find some new ones
But they always seem to leave
There must be something wrong with them
It can’t be me
Oh I’m alone again
And this is the happiest I’ve ever been
Is anybody listenin’
Cause this is the sound of the broken breaking down
And all the things that I make up
Is just a way of building myself up
Like anyone I just want to be loved
But I can’t cause the
Movies never stop
And I keep thickening the plot
Acting out a tragedy that’s hard to watch
Don’t tell me that the scenes
Are void of all meaning
Just because you’re in them a lot
Oh I’m alone again
And this is the happiest I’ve ever been
Is anybody listenin’
Cause this is the sound of the broken breaking down
I’m alone again
And this is worst it’s ever been
Is anybody listenin’
Cause this is the sound of the broken breaking down

Boy

Boy
You think too much but you’re not all that wise
Cause by now you should have recognized
That you never see a moment twice
So stop bitchin bout all the time passing you by
You better decide what your gonna do
Boy your lyin’ to yourself and that’s the truth
Try givin’ yourself a little grace
Cause in the present the past has no place
I think you’re afraid of who you are without pain
You find comfort there and that’s a dark, dark place
Cause life ain’t some town your just passin’ through
Boy you’re lyin’ to yourself and that’s the truth
Cause there’s a big world outside
Your tiny little mind
So for once let your heart decide what is true
And stop lyin’ to yourself boy cause that’s what you do
When you step out of the freezin air
In to your beautiful home with your family there
Know that this is the answer, this is the somewhere
That you’ve been lookin’ for all these years
You can stop with your questions cause there’s your proof
You’ve been lyin’ to yourself and that’s the truth
Yeah there ain’t no scary ghost in you
You can stop lyin’ to yourself
If that that’s what you choose
Cause there’s a big world outside
Your tiny little mind
So for once let your heart decide what is true
And stop lyin’ to yourself boy cause that’s what you do

Need

Need
I’m your conscious
I’m your Jesus
I’m your drink, your weed
I’m the sweeper of your pieces
I’m everything you need
What I really want to know
Is exactly when your going under
So I can pick you up
And kick you down again
I’m your father
I’m your mother
I’m your self esteem
I’m your purpose
Your trusted pilot
I’m everything you need
What I really want to know
Is exactly when your going under
So I can pick you up
And kick you down again

What A Beautiful Day

What A Beautiful Day
I tried to find myself in my past
Instead I found a mind full of chaos
With bullets firin' as words and lyin'
I found a river of wine
I watched you drink, and hoped you’d drown hoped you’d sink
Then everything would be right
Well I got what I wished for, I walked through my heart’s door
And tried not to step on a mine
What a beautiful day
The kind that only God could make
I watched them shovel dirt on your grave
Punch drunk and dazed
What a beautiful day
As I watched myself watch you float away
I stroked my sadness and embraced my rage
And like an old friend I asked them to stay
What a beautiful day
So I put my faith in the bible you see
And I got down every day on my knees
And prayed and prayed but figured out one day
That Jesus was asleep
Was this my answer was this my proof
Of his being created by me and you
And I want to think different
But I believe in God not religion
This is what I know to be true
What a beautiful day
The kind that only God could make
I watched them shovel dirt on your grave
Punch drunk and dazed
What a beautiful day
As I watched myself watch you float away
I stroked my sadness and embraced my rage
And like an old friend I asked them to stay
What a beautiful day
What I think about now
Is that your missin’ out
And you will never know how
She changed my life
Now I made her my wife
And I’m gonna scream it out loud
Cause she’s nothing like you
Man she’s kind and she’s true
And she loves me in spite of being like you
Now we’ve got two kids and I won’t do what you did
So this is goodbye to you
What a beautiful day
The kind that only God could make
I watched them shovel dirt on your grave
Punch drunk and dazed
What a beautiful day
As I watched myself watch you float away
I stroked my sadness and embraced my rage
And like a good friend I asked them to stay
What a beautiful day
What a beautiful day
