Be Strong.

If you're running hot,
touch me as you walk by.
This is not my family anymore.
If you're growing wild,
think of me before you blow.
I'll be left out in the cold.
Be strong. Open up your mouth.
Say, what you're gonna say.
Be strong. Rise above the crowd.
We won't live forever my friends.
Be strong. Open up your mouth.
Say what you're gonna say
Be strong. Rise above that crowd.
We're gonna live forever again.

Do You Walk Around?

Do you walk around too many times
With things you’ll never read?
Is it something in the air
that makes us clean? And you’re
swearing out the Devil now,
you’ll never look away.
Is it all the love
that’s creeping out of reach?
Is it over now? I think it’s a dream.
Is it over now? I think I’m asleep.
Is it over now? I won’t compete.
Here lies the simplest part
of waking up,
You can see the light
But you can never tell.
How long should I love you?
How long should I stay?
When everyone is packing up
and moving on
You just sit there
And watch them drive away.
How long should I love you?
How long should I stay?
You calling out and pleading
with a helpless god
Your shuffled
and discarded frantically.
How long should I love you?
How long should I stay?

Go With God.

I tried to say I needed to be forgiven
I tried to pray but I was so into sinning.
Is that all the advice you can offer me?
I won't stay long enough to fight,
you’ll see.
Now it’s late and I need to be forgiven.
Lets not play like I’m not so into sinning.
Is that all the love that you can offer me?
I don’t care enough to fight,
you’ll see.
I’m just fallin like a baby bird
I can't spread my wings.
I’m just hopping through the ugly side of things.
I’m just choking like a baby bird
and I can hardly sing.
I’m just screaming out the animosity.
Now it’s late and I need to tell you I’m leaving.
We could pray but it wouldn't make a difference.
I’m not easy on myself
I can rarely find the words
to let you know what I really need.
That’s the problem with the waking word
it won’t let me see the way,
it’s always moving at such unexpected speeds.

I Feel Better Now.

I’m gonna get a job.
I’m gonna work real hard.
I’m gonna bust my ass.
I’m gonna just keep moving.
Then I’ll go and get some money saved.
I’m gonna pay my bills, I’m gonna sleep real easy.
Then I’ll go and bump my credit score,
I’m gonna buy a house, I’m gonna buy a car.
I feel better now,
I feel better now you’re here.
I got hope now,
I wanna stay now you’re here.
I could lose my job.
I could ride the bus.
I could buy some drugs with the rest of my money.
I could gamble some
or I could drink a lot.
I could break some hearts or I could just do nothing.
But then what would my baby think?
He’s be like dad you promised so many things.
so I'll keep my job
I'll ride the bus
I'll bust my ass
and I'll just keep moving

Be Still.

Be still now
Just listen
Roll over
The worlds not awake
Yes it's true
In short time
without fail
Your life will fade
But that's no excuse
No reason
No good way
To live out your days
Cause each morning
You get up
And walk out the door
That's insane
Don't, don't leave me hanging on
I'll bring my friends along
You know we're not the same
And if you run away
Please don't warn me
Just go on and close the door
Walk down the path away
Be still now, be still now
Each morning you get up
And walk about the door
That's insane
Be still now, be still now
