Good Life
03:22
|

What does it all matter
If we don’t last forever
Footprints in the sand
Wash away
If I don’t tell the stories in my mind
They’ll go with me when I die
And my whole life
Will fade
I’m gonna try to live a good life anyway
I’m gonna try to love more than hate
I’m gonna try to honour my weaknesses
And in humanity I’m gonna have faith
When decency is crumbling
Our differences I’ll celebrate
And when denial of fact leads to ignorance
I’m gonna do my best to educate
I’m gonna try to live a good life anyway
I’m gonna try to love more than hate
I’m gonna try to honour my weaknesses
And in humanity I’m gonna have faith
We all come to the end one day
Leave a single road unpaved ohhhh oh ohhh
And if we’ve done good enough
Is just a guessing game
But we all hope someone
Remembers our name
I’m gonna try to live a good life anyway
I’m gonna try to love more than hate
I’m gonna try to honour my weaknesses
And in humanity you gotta have faith

As I Am
03:56
|

Well I know
What I want
But everything out there is so confusing
And I know
What I have
But I haven’t got it all
Cause we all have something different
And I, I just want to be me
I, I just wanna be seen
So take me as I am take me as I am
Take it or leave it
And I’ll take you as you are I won’t
I won’t deny it I’ll believe it
Well I know
What you want
But everything out there’s so confusing
Well I know
What you have
But you haven’t got it all
Cause we all have something different
And you, you just wanna be seen, too
So take me as I am take me as I am
Take it or leave it
And I’ll take you as you are I won’t
I won’t deny it I’ll believe it
And you can let it get you down let it get you down
Question the reasons
Or you can take me as I am
Take it or leave it
Well I know
It makes no sense
But I keep running round
Running round and round in circles
And I know
You gotta let it go
But it’s so damn hard
When no one else is
So take me as I am take me as I am
Take it or leave it
And I’ll take you as you are I won’t
I won’t deny it I’ll believe it
And you can let it get you down let it get you down
Question the reasons
Take me as I am

There’s a part of my heart I built a box around
Where I keep memories of you safe a sound
I swear I can still feel you near
But you’ve been gone longer than you were here
Stay
Stay with me
Let me feel you in the summer breeze
Stay
Stay with me
Shiver through my veins on a winters eve
And I
I believe
As painful as it is
We were meant to meet
But Ohhhhh
Heaven only knows
Why I had to stay
And you had to go
Do you ever dream with your eyes open wide
Do ghosts grow old as the time goes by
And in your glory in your light
Not a day I don’t think of you has gone by
Stay
Stay with me
Let me feel you in the summer breeze
Stay
Stay with me
Colour my world as the fall leaves change
And I
I believe
As painful as it is
We were meant to meet.
But Ohhhhh
Heaven only knows
Why I had to stay
And you had to go
I long for one more minute than we had
A craving for your soul to take my hand
And when the nights and days
Feel to much the bear
I will close my eyes and feel you there
There’s a part of my heart
That I built a box around
Where I keep memories of you
Safe a sound
There’s a part of my heart I built a box around
Where I keep memories of you safe a sound

Heavy Lifting
03:39
|
|||
I don’t always know where I’m going
But I’ve always known, that I’m trying
And sometimes sometimes I wonder
If it would be easier
If there was someone there doing all the heavy lifting
And all around us there are people watching
They look and they think that we’ve got it all
But they don’t know you like I know you
They don’t know you never catch me when I fall
But I’m always always on my own
Even when you’re there I feel alone
And you don’t see me
Like I see me
You don’t love every inch of who I am
And I’m not exactly sure what you’re here for
But it’s not for me
It’s not for me
Every day I pour my heart out
And you pretend you’re listening
But then your eyes glaze over and your heart hardens
And you leave me there on my knees
And I’m always always on my own
Even when you’re there I feel alone
You don’t see me
Like I see me
You don’t love every inch of who I am
And I’m not exactly sure what you’re here for
But it’s not for me
No it’s not for me
You can either step into the light with me,
Or say goodbye goodbye I’m leaving
Cause I can’t and I won’t stand for it anymore
And just as death does us part
So will it if you close your heart
And I can’t feel it open anymore
And I’m always always on my own
Even when you’re there I feel alone
You don’t see me
Like I see me
You don’t love every inch of who I am
And I’m not exactly sure what you’re here for
But it’s not for me
No it’s not for me
And sometimes sometimes I wonder
If it’d be easier
If there was someone there doing all the heavy lifting
If there was someone there doing all the heavy lifting

Cruel
04:06
|
|||
How can we be so cruel
I don’t understand me
I don’t understand you
How is it that we don’t think for ourselves
Your mind is penetrating mine
Like a fishhook on a wire
Bring me in pull me out
Make, making me always doubt
Giving me a reason to get out
Of taking the fall for my mistakes
Oh oh oh
Bring me in, pull me out,
Make, making me always doubt
Wrong from right
How do we sleep at night
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
When did we get so cruel
All the stories
we have heard
Become intertwined
In the crevices of our minds
How is it that we don’t see thru the lies
Your mind is penetrating mine
Like a fishhook on a wire
Bring me in pull me out
Make, making me always doubt
Giving me a reason to get out
Of taking the fall for my mistakes
Oh oh oh
Bring me in pull me out
Make, making me always doubt
Wrong from right
How do we sleep at night
I hope it haunts you for the rest of your life
You shouldn’t get away
Shouldn’t get free
From all the pain you caused eternity
I hope it haunts you for the rest of your life
Just as it haunts me
I hope it suffocates your dreams
Oh oh
Bring me in pull me out
Make, making me always doubt
Giving me a reason to get out
Of taking the fall for my mistakes
Oh oh oh
Bring me in pull me out
Make, making me always doubt
Wrong from right
How do we sleep at night
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
When did we get so cruel
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
When did we get so cold

Alice
03:27
|
|||
They like to keep us weak
Unbuttoned down and desperately in need
But I can feel the breeze
And through the keyhole I will peak
And then I’ll leave
Oh Alice
Why did you drink
The Kool-aid they, they’ve been selling
Can’t you see the imagery
And what is lurking underneath
mmm mmm
My mind is blown every day
By all the words the people say
And I’m not left out of the mix no no
Cause each and every one of us
Needs our fix
Oh Alice
Why’d you drink
The Kool-aid they, they’ve been selling
Can’t you see the imagery
And what is lurking underneath
mmm ohh
You turn the lights down low
You make the room run cold
Your lies have made you bold
But we are free to make a difference
We are free to make it right
The minute we stop asking
They’ll strip away our rights
Oh Alice
Why’d you drink oh oh oh (The minute we stop asking)
The Kool-aid they they’ve been selling (They’ll strip away our rights)
Time to wake up from this dream (The minute we stop asking)
Cause we aren’t free until all of us are free (They’ll strip away our rights)
Oh Alice
Why’d you drink oh oh oh (The minute we stop asking)
The Kool-aid they’ve been selling (They’ll strip away our rights)
Can’t you see the imagery (Time to wake up from this dream)
We aren’t free until all of us are free
Mmm mmm

Better
03:13
|
|||
What have you done
To the girl I knew back then
Her smile could light up the whole room
Without even trying
See there’s something different
About her now
I can’t help but think
We had a part in it somehow
See we judge and judge
Till there is nothing left
We pushed her down and down
Until she could not resist
When did we start
Turning on each other
We’re supposed to be there for one another
I don’t I don’t understand
When did we decide
We would not support our own kind
And we’d abandon and leave behind
Our friends as we should know them
Oh, we should know, better better
Oh, we should grow
Maybe we were better off
Without magazines to read and TV to watch
Nonetheless we’ve clearly lost our way
Forgotten what is right and how to see through the haze
When did we start
Turning on each other
We’re supposed to be there for one another
I don’t I don’t understand
When did we decide
We would not support our own kind
And we’d abandon and leave behind
Our friends as we should know them
How many lives
Will we abuse
Before we realize somethings gone astray
Judging others taking away their worth and grace
Is not at all ok
It has never been ok
When did we start
Turning on each other
We’re supposed to be there for one another
I don’t I don’t understand
When did we decide
We would not support our own kind
And we’d abandon and leave behind
Our friends as we should know them
Oh, we should know, better better
Oh, we should grow
What have, what have you done

For The Win
03:33
|
|||
When I’m gone
Promise me
You’ll put your tears in a cup
For others to drink
When I’m gone
And you need me
Look around and give your love
To someone in need
Cause this world won’t run on disparity no no
It goes round and round on love
And love is free
When I go
Take the hand
Of someone you barely know
Who can barely stand
Cause this world won’t run on a lonely heart no no
It goes round and round
You gotta pull each other back in from in from in from the dark
A proud heart and a humble chin
Brings it all home for the win
For the win
When I’m gone
Promise me
You’ll do your best to love yourself as much
As much as you loved me
Time goes fast
Stories end
But the memories surpass
The life of them
And this world won’t turn on it’s own no no
It takes a village to pull it along
A proud heart and a humble chin
Brings it all home for the win
For the win

Loved You Perfectly
03:28
|
|||
If I could take back all the things I did
That made you cry
I’d fill the gaps with rainbows and unicorns and butterflies
There’d be no darkness
When you lay your head to rest
And you would never ever doubt that you are loved
And that I love you best
So please
Forgive me
I may not have been perfect
But I loved you perfectly
If I could make the sunshine
When the rain is pouring down
I’d clear the skies and part the sea for you
And you’d sail right through
And if trouble came knocking
I’d send it away
For no one knows better than me
How to keep you safe
So please
Forgive me
I may not have been perfect
But I loved you perfectly
You don’t know, you don’t know
How hard I try
To do it all right get it all right
All of the time
You don’t know that I do it all for you
But I do, yes it’s true, oh I do
It all for you
And If I could take back all of the things
I did that made you cry
Well I’d fill the gaps with rainbows and unicorns and colourful butterflies
So please
Forgive me
That I may not have been perfect
Ohhhh please
Forgive me
I may not have been perfect
But I loved you perfectly
I love you perfectly
