Friends 02:42

I've been thinking Life's been too good these days And ya know i've been drinking Away all the spare change I got the feeling That this could be the end Rusted like the van We drove 3,000 miles in Time to take another bus to Chicago Head thru Kansas on to Colorado Straight thru the desert to the forest on fire If the van don't make it you can call me a liar Party with boss daughter if theyre in Reno And the Pyrate punx out in Sacramento Till I can put a pbr in the sand Back in California then over to New York again Truckstops rule But I'm no fool when it comes to it Just here for the microwave And to STEAL ALL THE CONDIMENTS Life is about choices.. and im Stoked for ones I did not make I don't drive so I can't see straight Call it a waste but you can't relate Don't miss the exit we could run out of gas At any minute Push the van into a parking space and hang out to avoid a ticket Eat week old bagels and wait for friends I got drunk with.. that one time Find out they overdosed .. .. .. Friends are still friends if you only knew them one night Friends are still friends if you just knew them one night Friends are still Friends x4

Is this what it's like getting older Carrying all but my world on my shoulders The reason that my back hurts I think I'm running backwards I forgot how to feel good feelings Forever the young crazed peeling My heart is now an empty building With no doors and low ceilings Im the rookie on the bench That never had a chance The feeling of regret when you don't ask her to dance The dying hope for sunshine when your whole life has been grey Has been grey The song that was written That never once was heard The feathers pieced together That never made a bird The smile on your face When you thought you had finally won You never won You're the crack in the sidewalk No one noticed exists The character that left the show People don't realize they miss Important as a prophet You were played off as a fool * You're not a fool (To fight your fight for everyday Never expect a thing Because years of battling for everyone else Has only brought you pain And if you learned one thing in life It's that it's better to be rich in experience Experience) I'm the lonely songbird that never got to sing A metaphor for a loser, depressed human being That one last gasp of air Before we finally sink We finally sink Hold on to your loved ones And those who never had a chance Some of still waiting on hope for that dance These songs are just scars Played from shaking hands Take nothing for granted And give some of us a shot Because when it comes down to it We are all that we've got Even when life is pain It's better to have than have not

Worry Less 02:22

Broken bruised or busted and not pretty on the inside If I said I was happy where I'm at then that would be a lie Tired of battling myself with no help all inside my head I can't believe the person is me when I hear what was said Try to cope with drugs and booze But learned that's the fast track to lose People that I care about and the few that care about me too I know this what they call crazy but this wasn't the life I choosed Scarred, betrayed and belittled a product of defeat I don't know how to recover but I know who I want to be A goal that seems unattainable with no confidence to say the least Total war inside my head and only one brain cell fighting for peace If I took it all away would I still be insane Would I be happy and would you please retain The better memories over the bad ones in case I have to go away Stacotto fast Right to passage right to sing right to cry and right to be Anything you want unless you're mental illness keeps you from your dreams I know it's hard and I know it sucks but please believe me When there's will and where theres hope there's possible victory Everyone's got a story and it doesn't matter where you begin The journey is the pursuit of happiness and it has no end It gets dark and it gets hard a road we have all been But don't give up and don't give in the because fighting is the only way to wiiiiiin I just really wanna Worry less Worry less Focus on the better things forget about the rest Worry less Worry less Be ok with who I am and Know I tried my best

Wherever I'm Alone 04:26

I can't see That far in front of me A bunch of stuff got in the way As I walk thru these Pittsburgh rains You're far away But close to me you'll stay In my heart my mind my soul I've told You.. promises never get old to fools I'll find my way That's what I always say California to New Jersey I live for the love of music That I play Everyday seems the same but i know it's all different Some pay bartenders. some pay rent They say one day i'll regret the life i chose I'll get tired of being hungry and searching for a home But i'm more scared of becoming one of you Work till the day you die Who's to say the day doesn't come too soon I've got a guitar And no time to play it And I complain it Is something I miss And I've gotten older I've gotten over most things but I still don't know where I'm going I make my own dreams And fail at my own goals Make myself at home Wherever I'm alone And wherever in time that may be I hope that I still hold that fucked up part of me That keeps writing songs of the things I see And things that I don't want to remember Like you and me

Day Drinking 03:26
lyrics
buy track
Strap on my boots before I walk out the door Expecting the same fate I've been dealt before Shove my anxiety into a bottle of Jack And smoke enough Cigarettes to cause my lungs to collapse And breath in the words you used to sing to me Live everyday in a dream Wake up every night and scream Wondering who the hell the world wants me to be With me you're not Anymore Tired of waking up on the floor I've drank enough To keep you away But not enough liquor to kill the pain Years have passed and not much has changed Except my mentality to keep my life rearranged Don't settle down don't trust a soul Get the fuck out of Memphis because it's a black hole Lived my life on a bad repeat Drugs, booze, and girls have not been good to me I've been dragged through hell for trying to do my best Now it's time to get out, I got one last dying breath

Defeated 04:14
lyrics

I used to wear my heart On my sleeve but now I just cover it up Ya can't do enough these days To try and look tough I used to smile thru pain *With everything I could to it It Drove me insane I know that I shouldn't have Come to my senses or what I thought they were In the back of a van using what light the day has left Somewhere in Minnesota with what little hope I've kept I write like you were here & gave a damn about what I'm going through I miss you You're a thousand miles away With the rest of me There's somewhere I'd like to die And it's not in anyone's arms I can see why it seems Impossible to smile thru get over you own defeat As for me I don't know why
