Sittting with my friends it’s 12 o’ clock midnight
Living my own dream
Gotta keep moving ‘cause nothing can stop me
I always make a scene
Can you tell me one more time please
I wasn't listening
It’s about time to straighten up my tie
And make a name for me
Growing up is never easy
Why does it
Have to come so
Damn quickly
Makin’ it by, wasting my time.
You will see
It’s not what we
Are meant to be
Taking this world by storm
Got to break these social norms
Have the chance to reform
Why can’t you see
Changing everything around
Bringing this life to the ground
Have the strength to amount
To be anything.
Now it’s time to face the real world
No avoiding this
We are going to slave our lives away
Unless we can break free
Always try to strive for your dreams
Push your doubts away
Focus on your friends and family
Over everything
No I'm not a worthless man
I give all that i can
No I'm not a lost cause
After all that i lost
You can be anything

City Lights

City liights burn bright like tiny fires
And the people watching they spire
To burn brighter
To be stronger
Look to the sky with slanted eyes
In bed all night you cry
For your losses
You burned these crosses
Hit the lights crash into bed
And deep inside I feel so dead
I am broken
My heart lies open
Turn on the lights and seize the day
I see the sun through clouds of gray
The warmth shine through
Nothing will bind you
Balance composer the lines they won’t falter
One found salvation the other will wither
Step to the stage sr it’s fate’s turn to spin her
As the wheels turn the lines just get thicker

3 p.m. how long have you been gone
Cracked open a bottle, quater past the sun
Like I told you nights before
There's so much more than this
Cyanide and suicide are another tempting kiss
I take a shot straight from that barrel
Roulette’s the game we play
Here I've counted 5 clicks
And you’re next up to play
Better think this through
If you wanna greet the brand new day
Revolution’s almost here
And you're stuck in the way
Making it through my normal day
I need something to take the edge away
Giving in I head for that store
I grab a bottle, same smooth grip once more
Pour another glass, like you load a shot
Live tonight like it's the only one we got
Around that table we all sit
Started at noon, without them knowing it
Pretending like I'm alright
I still hope not to remember tonight
Pour another glass like you load a shot
Live tonight like it's the only one we got
The bottle shaped revolver points at me
My mind tells me to stop
But it can't control me
5 clicks down
This is the last shot
My memory grows dark
As i take the last shot

I’ve hit the bottom
And I’m still going down
Been called the king of cynics
But at least I’ve got my crown
No where to get toExcept for here and now
I’ve got my crown, can’t keep me down
Got my head in the clouds
I’ve got to keep my chin up
And my hands by my side
Sat here too long
Sinking further into anxiety and pride
Gotta keep my soles down
And my tongue’s to the sky
I’ll write my songs, keep moving onThats what’ll get me by
I think it’s time for the rest of my life
And I think it’s time for the rest of our lives
Got this song, I got this song
Won’t let it all fall through
Staying real to what I feel
I won’t fall like you
Moving on, I’m moving on
Won’t let this keep me down
Moving on, I’m staying strong
Just pick up the pace and move on
I don’t want to hear
How capable you are
‘Cause the way that I see it
You have lowered the bar
Respect that I, wish to fly
On wings with holes punched out
My legs bent and broken
I’ll get up and walk about

All that you do is you piss and you moan
Talking big about leaving your home
Feet stuck to the god damn floor
Tonight she cries out begging for more
Her tears fall one foot from the door
Choke down your pride
Go the fuck outside
Your day is today and
Don’t get lost in the fray
Put the gun to your head
You’re not using it anyway
Crossing these boundries
You’re not that worthy
Fucking wasting more of your time
Every time you close that door
You’re making sure to let it show
That your legs are more open
Than the mind that you’re given
This is my home
Why won’t you leave
You cannot stay
Get out get out
