End of the World
02:57
|
|||
|
We got things to say
But we do we say?
We speak our words
Without the space
And yet we sit there
Talking away
Like today's the end of tomorrow
And that's the end all the way
So what should we do when people start to chew
We oughta
Travel the world
With all our friends and I
Talking away
Having a grand old time
Out on the bay
So what should we do
When you're in a pickle with an acquaintance or two
Speak it, hug it, and sing it out
'Cause you never know
That tomorrow could be the end of the world
It's a world of money
That we still can't pay
So while we're young,
We stay that way
We waste all the money,
Use all the days
Notice it's "use" of tocks not waste of clocks,
It’s our time that we made
So what should we do
When our payments are overdue
We oughta
Travel the world
With all our friends and I
Flying away
Having a grand old time
Out on the bay
So what should we do
When that vacation starts catching up on you
Work it, live it, and sing it out
'Cause you never know
That tomorrow could be the end of the world
So move aside
And let me tell you something dear
The world is gonna swallow you whole
And when you open your curious eyes
You'll wake up in a place that you don't remember calling home
So while we're still young
Well
We oughta
Travel the world
With all our friends and I
Going our way
Having a grand old time
Every single day
So what should we do
When the world starts moving faster than you
Speed up, slow down, then sing it out
‘Cause you never know that tomorrow could be the end of the world

Breathe In
04:31
|
|||
|
There's no reason for holding my breath
To make other people worry when there's no time to lose
And there's no reason for standing in the back
‘Cause I don't like the crowds or the waves of people galore
Maybe it's just not my thing
To listen to every word and make it seem so bad
Perhaps it's just not my way of thinking
But now the sun is shining down
And all the words are spilling out
Now every summer we'll be hanging like we're brothers
And every winter we'll be playing like we’re sisters
So breathe in and breathe out
The sun is shining now
For the season I'll wait by the steps
Maybe it's because there's just no time to lose
For some reason I can't wait to go
‘Cause I don't like the noises and the faces of people you know
Maybe it's just not my thing
To listen to every word and make it seem so great
Perhaps it's just not my way of thinking
But now the sun is shining down
And all the words are spilling out
Now every summer we'll be hanging like we're brothers
And every winter we'll be playing like we’re sisters
So breathe in and breathe out
The sun is shining now
Maybe it's just one reason for everything in the world
Maybe I just can’t wait for all the days when it starts to snow
Maybe I just can’t say the things I wanted all to show oh oh oh oh
But now the sun is shining down
And all the words are spilling out
Now every summer we'll be hanging like we're brothers
And every winter we'll be playing like we’re sisters
So breathe in and breathe out
The sun is shining now
So breathe in breathe out
For the sun is a-shining now

Anxiety
03:09
|
|||
|
Raindrops are falling and
The sky is drowning
In sorrow
Everything is pouring
Everything is flying away
Through the gaps between my fingers
All these things are making
My head feel as heavy as stone
And I feel like I could cry
Enough to fill a million deserts in one try
And I feel as though my mind
Is spinning round and round and round through time
Anxiety has strapped me to the floor
And the black is seeping in through the corners
Anxiety makes me feel like I'm incased, locked up and drowning in my own body
Anxiety is dragging me down to the ground through the darkest parts of the night
Now the ice is breaking
This is where my hands should be
Shaking
My brain can't stop screaming
My mind is desperately slipping away
Through the cracks between the fractures
And I feel as though my mind
Is spinning round and round and round
Through time
Anxiety has strapped me to the floor
And the black is seeping in through the corners
Anxiety makes me feel like I'm incased, locked up and drowning in my own body
Anxiety is dragging me down to the ground through the darkest parts of the night
Why do you have to take control of my mind
Why can't you just let me live my life
It's these moments that I need to remember everything
So why can't you just let me give it a try
Anxiety has strapped me to the floor
And the black is seeping in through the corners
Anxiety makes me feel like I'm incased, locked up and drowning in my own body
Anxiety is dragging me down to the ground through the darkest parts of the night

Someone Else's Child
02:53
|
|||
|
A long time ago
They used to tell me
I was different from everybody
A long time ago
I thought
That was a good thing
A long time ago
I thought
That the world revolved around me
I’m someone else’s child
And you can’t take that away from me
And I was built on fairy dust
So don’t try to make see things clearly
I’m someone else’s child
And I believe what I believe in
These days the wind tells me
To fall down dead
These days the kids
They stand up around me
But don’t you tell me
That I’m stupid or illogical
In things
I’m someone else’s child
And you can’t take that away from me
And I was built on fairy dust
So don’t try to make see things clearly
I’m someone else’s child
And I believe what I believe in
I’m someone else’s child
And you can’t take that away from me
And I was built on fairy dust
So don’t try to make see things clearly
I’m someone else’s child
I’m someone else’s child
And you can’t take that away from me
And I was built on fairy dust
So don’t try to make see things clearly
I’m someone else’s child
And I believe what I believe in
I’m someone else’s child
And I believe what I believe in
I’m someone else’s child
And I believe what I believe in

The Box
03:16
|
|||
|
There's a box at the end of the road
Sitting there
With its arms open wide
For you to come in
There's a box at the end of the road
Sitting there
Staring you in the eye
For you to step in
Then the clouds start to mumble
There's nothing to do
So you wait in its walls
For the rain to wash in
But you have walked too many miles to give in
And you have seen too many beautiful things
So you walk away from the flowery bed
And you stand in the rain
‘Til your cold goes away
Then box at the end of the road
Carries you
Through the storm
With its walls
For you to wait in
But the box at the end of the road
Never will
Let you roam
In the halls
For you to dance in
Then the walls start to crumble
And there's nothing to do
So you stand there and watch
For the box to bash in
But you have walked too many miles to give in
And you have seen too many beautiful things
So you walk away from the flowery bed
And you stand in the rain
‘Til your cold goes away
I've seen what the box
Does to lonely people
(And it isn't pretty)
It gives you a place to hide
Then it shuts off your air
(So you're unable to breathe)
And it keeps you inside
Even after the clouds have cleared
And I'm telling you now ‘cause I care
But you have walked too many miles to give in
And you have seen too many beautiful things
So you walk away from the flowery bed
And you stand in the rain
‘Til your cold goes away

Building
02:33
|
|||
|
It's always the same old walk to school
It's just a straight line
With cracked pavement roads and
Long lonely guides
All the same houses
All painted green
Lets go see something that we've never seen
There goes the usual bird in the tree
And there goes that man with his children of three
It's always the same old walk to school
"Keep climbing that staircase," they all say
Every floor is a challenge
Every door is an entrance
Every step is the answer
All the way
Life is a big, brick, building
With many stories to find
I found a new path that I could walk through
There's a turn on the left
Then after a twist
There's a curb on the right
Everything's different
All are so free
Lets go be something that's new and unique
There goes the path to follow your dream
To understand meanings and see the unseen
I found a new path that I could walk through
"Keep climbing that staircase," they all say
Every floor is a challenge
Every door is an entrance
Every step is the answer
All the way
Life is a big, brick, building
With many stories to find
With many stories to find
To find
"Keep climbing that staircase," they all say
Every floor is a challenge
Every door is an entrance
Every step is the answer
All the way
Life is a big, brick, building
With many stories to find

I'm Sorry
01:50
|
|||
|
Did you ever stop to think
That maybe this world
Wasn't built on only money
Did you ever even look
Beyond the Wikipedia page
For your political opinions
Well we all know you're full of it
I'm sorry
If it seemed like I cared
That you are better than me
‘Cause you listened to Mozart as a baby
I'm sorry
I really didn't know
That you went to years of schooling
And majored in stupidity
I'm sorry
But money don't mean you're better than me
Have you ever looked around
At all the pretty faces that you call ugly
Well did you ever even think
That maybe you're the one that's worth insulting
Because we all know that you're full of it
I'm sorry
If it seemed like I cared
That you are better than me
‘Cause your mommy pays for everything
I'm sorry
But I really didn't know
That you're filthy rich in money
And extremely rich with idiocy
I'm sorry
Don't get me wrong I truly am
Sorry that you are the way you are
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
That you are better than
‘Cause you had private preschool
As a baby
I'm sorry
But I really didn't know
That you put other people down
to hide your stupid insecurities
I'm sorry
But money don't mean you're better than me
I'm sorry

The Flock and I
02:47
|
|||
|
I'm just another bird in the flock
Is that supposed to be
A saying that's supposed to mean that
I'm not good enough
You and I
We're part of a flock of birds
That keep each other right
The flock and I
We fly together and always
Part of one
And we fly
Holding on tightly
For you and I
And we try
To sing happy songs
When our spirits die
We synchronize
To hold on tight
The flock and I
It's just another problem in the box
Would you rather be
Alone or rather see that
It's been quite a lot
You and I
We belong in one
To keep the ropes held tight
The flock and I
We fly together and always
Heart of one
And we fly
Holding on tightly
For you and I
When I cry
We sit there and sob
Until it's goodbye
But sometimes
We fall apart
The flock and I
Even when the blue falls apart
We'll be left flying
Fluttering in the dark
We don't need no flashlights
To guide our way through
'Cause our wings are brighter than
Any pocket tool
And we fly
Holding on tightly
For you and I
And we try
To make the it all worth it
As the days pass by
And lucky I
Will have you,
The flock and I
The flock and I

Outerworld
02:50
|
|||
|
Writing the words I feel
But never speaking them
When I’m in the outerworld
Singing the songs I write
But never playing them
When I’m in the outerworld
I sit and crouch in the dark
Instead of grasping the stars
For the outerworld is scary and far
But the innerworld was placed inside of me
So close to me
Living inside a house
With no exit wounds
So it hurts through the night
The stars will shine so bright
Not to comfort you
But to aid you in fight
Creeping around in the dark
Swimming and breathing in stars
For the outerwolrd is scary and far
But the innerworld was placed inside of me
So close to me
But the doors aren’t closing as tight as I want
And the time isn’t passing fast enough
And my bones are slowly shaking ‘till they pile to the ground
But my skin hides the feeling

Unstoppable
02:47
|
|||
|
The world is spinning around its center
As we stand on the land it breathes
We may be just one in a few billion
But it’s not like we weren’t meant to be
Hopefully we’ll see
That we will be
The face of this place that we call home
And maybe we’ll try
To make ourselves believe
That we are the unstoppable
With impossible beliefs
The days are getting longer and longer
As the cracks in our faces bleed
And we will grow to the tip
Where the angels can see
To the stars and the night will be
Hopefully we’ll see
That we will be
The face of this place that we call home
And maybe we’ll try
To make ourselves believe
That we are the unstoppable
With impossible beliefs
That we will be
The face of this place that we call home
And maybe we’ll try
To make ourselves believe
That we are the unstoppable
With impossible beliefs
