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

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

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
