Medicine 04:30

Put a smile on that face, I swear You've never seen a human being before I smell sabotage Like leather and cigars Open up so we can take control You're just a puppet we took out your soul You won't need it No one keeps theirs They're spending their lives Doing the same thing all the time These people are menacing I think they're on medicine I think they're on medicine And their dealers are excellent I can't tell what's supposed to be real I can't tell what's supposed to be real It all seemed so innocent Little something to block the pain I can't tell what I'm supposed to feel I can't tell what I'm supposed to feel People are so afraid of fear That they only listen to what they want to hear Don't think it might confuse you Just drink all those pills they give you Blink twice if you don't feel safe here You'll only start getting better when you learn to share No doubt we'll do something about it Speak up there's no show without it They're spending their lives Doing the same thing all the time These people are menacing I think they're on medicine I think they're on medicine And their dealers are excellent I can't tell what's supposed to be real I can't tell what's supposed to be real It all seemed so innocent Little something to block the pain I can't tell what I'm supposed to feel I can't tell what I'm supposed to feel

Games 03:48

I've been running I just can not get away I get the feeling that I'm not going to escape They just won't let up Or be sensible It's an elaborate set up To act responsible It's 2AM now so I won't get back to sleep All my problems want to have a word with me I don't want to get up I feel terrible These demons are fed up And I am vulnerable Thank God for hope And alcohol To help me pretend I have control This city life Is eating my soul I don't know who I'm doing it for I'll get some whiskey why don't you grab us a seat? I want to tell you what I think everything means You have to get out Or accept a role Why imprison yourself While you're renting a soul Think bigger picture, don't waste everything now Impulse is addictive, start kicking or you'll drown There's shades of good left In this world you know It just takes some time For your mind to grow Thank God for hope And alcohol To help me pretend I have control This city life Is eating my soul I don't know who I'm doing it for The time will come to go For the very last time What am I supposed to do? What is there left to find? Another tomorrow More of the same mountains to face Interrupted by moments of gusto Just keep pushing to see how much you can take I know How to be alone When my mind is a scary place to go I need to level up to feel at home Thank God for hope And alcohol To help me pretend I have control This city life Is eating my soul I don't know who I'm doing it for

I think it fried my mind When the stars occupied my eyes What happened to the time I used to waste by myself So many activities, so much stress Had a bag full of fucks, now I got none left Do you bet on the future, or go day by day If you shoot and you miss it might all go away I feel like I'm missing the better years of my life It smells like confusion with a hit of sacrifice Put me out of my misery, I've lost my sense It fucking exhausts me to pretend I know what I'm doing and what is expected of me For all the years I've met All the drinks I forgot I had For everything I said When all of my ideas were bad Lead to this moment that left us just now I might not know much, but I do know how To appreciate the irony of time It promises less every night I feel like I'm missing the better years of my life It smells like confusion with a hit of sacrifice Put me out of my misery, I've lost my sense It fucking exhausts me to pretend I know what I'm doing and what is expected of me Put your shirt back on, the children's here please don't be obscene You're only one a beer away from making scene I don't care if this will be the death of me I'm not losing this fight We're always one day away from being all right I feel like I'm missing the better years of my life It smells like confusion with a hit of sacrifice Put me out of my misery, I've lost my sense It fucking exhausts me to pretend I know what I'm doing and what is expected of me

Dedicated 05:04
lyrics

Violence is ageless Went through the stages Desensitized from belief My mind is hazy My vices saved me Live in a sense of relief As the days pass by Each week we try To find a moment of peace Right before my eyes I can see my time Float away with the breeze In the photographs You can see me laugh A different side of me Scattered notepads Filled with doodles and graphs Of all the things I could have been We're slowly dying Or at least we're trying To improve deaths efficiency The world's gone crazy Automated and lazy It's how it's programmed to be As the days pass by Each week we try To find a moment of peace Right before my eyes I can see my time Float away with the breeze In the photographs You can see me laugh A different side of me Scattered notepads Filled with doodles and graphs Of all the things I could have been Do you graft and stay contempt Wonder how you're paying rent Do you ever think of what could have been What could have been Do you call and go all in Or hold on for the next big thing Do you ever think of what could have been I'm still young, only twenty seven In the photographs You can see me laugh A different side of me Scattered notepads Filled with doodles and graphs Of all the things I could have been As the days pass by Each week we try To find a moment of peace Right before my eyes I can see my life Float away with the breeze You can make it, the thing that you got to be Dedicated, you haven't seen the best of me In order to go on You don't have to go along

Hope 03:41

Context hides the truth We see the world from a point of view That's personal and private Please don't touch me I don't like it I never know what to choose At least it gives me something to do More productive than fighting I've been stockpiling some lightning Breathe a little life in to me They say the truth will set you free But that's just crazy My youth is my favorite part of me I'm gonna make it on my own I've got nowhere else to go But up maybe There's just something about hope Hope it saves me Failure to give up I'm going somewhere I'm just stuck Damn GPS hates me We've having issues lately You're the smartest guy I know Always prepared and in control I forgot what I was chasing My one day dreams are fading Breathe a little life in to me They say the truth will set you free But that's just crazy My youth is my favorite part of me I'm gonna make it on my own I've got nowhere else to go But up maybe There's just something about hope Hope it saves me Hope it saves me Hope Hope it saves me Hope Breathe a little life in to me They say the truth will set you free But that's just crazy My youth is my favorite part of me I'm gonna make it on my own I've got nowhere else to go But up maybe There's just something about hope Hope it saves me

Smile 03:37
lyrics

Something's not quite right It's too quiet for a busy night There's just something about history And how it repeats itself A little thing that stuck with me How it's always someone else Out of mind out of sight Out of patience, out of battery, out of fight Can you at least try to look pretty? It's not hard to comprehend Like camo in the city Don't you want to blend in? You have to keep smiling We have to keep smiling Such a beautiful night Scored by sound waves and satellites A quick picture to remember How we felt alive Stored on someone else's server At least it saves us time, right? You have to keep smiling We have to keep smiling Why the fuck aren't you smiling? Pack those dreams away You saved for someday It's little strange You kept them How can't you see This is very real The future's now We're not safe here You have to keep smiling We have to keep smiling Why the fuck aren't you smiling?

Be Someone 04:10

I spend most of my time pretending Arguing about things I don't know Fighting just to put on a show I don't think I can ever be the same again It get's easier the less you know Through the motions here we go Hold my hand you won't be alone You get up there you touch the sun I know it's scary take it easy Light the sky up you can free me I am prepared to give you everything I am There is nowhere left to run I can't do this on my own My mind is scheming to break free I can't keep my thoughts controlled Silence is sensible I can't explain how much you mean to me All my words are recycled You brought hope into my world Hold my hand you won't be alone You get up there you touch the sun I know it's scary take it easy Light the sky up you can free me I am prepared to give you everything I am There is nowhere left to run I can't do this on my own Life has changed me but there is so much left to learn I am still my mother's son I told my dad I'll be someone I am prepared to give you everything I am There is nowhere left to run I can't do this on my own Life has changed me but there is so much left to learn I am still my mother's son I told my dad I'll be someone Hold my hand you won't be alone You get up there you touch the sun I know it's scary take it easy Light the sky up you can free me

Celebrate 02:34

Way to go We're all so proud Get up on that stage Time to take a bow You have to please the crowd This is what you want What else could it be Do you have to change the world Decide how history's told Spread all your beliefs It's the changing of seasons And you're still one step short Years have come and passed And your still who you were Violent and lost There must be a reason You call this place your home Your mom said you were special But so far you've been dreadful Desperate and alone Way to go It's been fun You're all too kind Of course we'll stay in touch Our friendship means so much But it's time for me to go What you get is what you see You can't go chasing dreams It's getting a little late There's time to celebrate When you go back to sleep It's the changing of seasons And you're still one step short Years have come and passed And your still who you were Violent and lost There must be a reason You call this place your home Your mom said you were special But so far you've been dreadful Desperate and alone Way to go
