Am I Ready? 04:03
I’ve packed my bags, and made my bed, Leaving the place I lay my head And I’m heading out on my own, Taking back roads past every broken home That I’ve come to know These thoughts running though my head say “it’s too much”. Am I ready? There’s a time and place for every state of mind. As I look to the sky, I ask for strength in this life It’s never easy when you start drifting apart, Just know that you’ll stay safe inside of my heart, Until we meet again, I hope (know) your time has been well spent, Cus we’ll still be friends with no regrets So I’ll take the moments and write them down, To live them again as I read them out loud, The shoreline, the long drives, the good times, the goodbyes, Makes this a place to call our home These thoughts running though my head say “it’s too much”. Am I ready? There’s a time and place for every state of mind. As I look to the sky, I ask for strength in this life It’s never easy when you start drifting apart, Just know that you’ll stay safe inside of my heart, Until we meet again, I hope (know) your time has been well spent, Cus we’ll still be friends with no regrets I have watched these seasons pass me right on by, While the world outside has turned from green to white, And everything between is a memory tonight, Do my words ring true, is this reaching you

Hey, can you hear what I’m saying Words they go round Never making much of a sound I fell down and hit the ground Cus love is like a ticking bang bang bang in my head I hear it calling your name I got something to say You’re not listening I’ve got something to say to you I’ll tell you everyday that I need your touch Just how much I love you baby And here we’ll make our stand Together we’ll be holding our hands high Forever we will find peace tonight Cus baby its only you and I Hey I think we’ve done this before Just once more Because what goes around yeah comes back around So tell me why Is it so hard to find Tell me why Is it so hard to find I’ll tell you everyday that I need your touch Just how much I love you baby And here we’ll make our stand Together we’ll be holding our hands high Forever we will find peace tonight Cus baby its only you and I

Forgiveness 03:56
I’m a person of just a few words I’ve never been one to shine My thoughts have always been mine It’s not complicated I just need you to listen Because this in time Could be my good bye Deep in my soul I’ve lost all control I know I can’t go on tonight All I wanted to be was someone that you could see I’m living my life surrounded in all this hell Please just forgive this I promise I’ll be, I’ll be me. I’m ashamed of what I became Wish of a better life Free of all strife I rise and fall This world won’t accept me at all Time I lie just to make it by Please help me before I Deep in my soul I’ve lost all control I know I can’t go on tonight All I wanted to be was someone that you could see I’m living my life surrounded in all this hell Please just forgive this I promise I’ll be, I’ll be me. Don’t you tell me how it all should be I choose my fate there’s nothing you can say I’ve heard it all (so many times before) I’ll climb an ill fall (I don’t want to die anymore) Die anymore Deep in my soul I’ve lost all control I know I can’t go on tonight All I wanted to be was someone that you could see I’m living my life surrounded in all this hell Please just forgive this I promise I’ll be, I’ll be me.

Can fates be decided by the smallest of things? Like the changing of seasons the wind always brings It’s not always clear; sometimes far, sometimes near We search or whole lives for meaning When what we should do is start from the beginning So for us to reclaim ourselves And be rid of all our hate Our greed and our lust as well A miracle is what it might take Stand together for our last night Don’t be afraid to shine so bright You can echo their voices We’ll choose to stand and never to break away For those who can feel the pressure right on their heels We may lose sight of ourselves somewhere along the way Don’t you dare wake up and realize one day Who you were has finally gone away Because of what’s wrong and what’s right The truth will be hidden from our sight We must continue to believe Cus there’s always been some good A method to this madness Well say it right here where we stood Stand together for our last night Don’t be afraid to shine so bright You can echo their voices We’ll choose to stand and never to break away They say that there’s no reason That you can’t fight for what we believe in But together we will stand for a new day Stand together for our last night Don’t be afraid to shine so bright You can echo their voices We’ll choose to stand and never to break away

Take it from me That there is no end, no end to this road And death is just the doorway to the path that leads us home And if I could I would not let you go alone But something inside me says don’t be afraid of the unknown Life is fragile and I don’t have a plan But no matter where I stand I’m on top of the world This is as good as it gets Raise a glass and we’ll drink to it Cus this night could last a lifetime (for life) And if I’m right, Things will never be like (this) I have got so much left to do with my time and my life. And while I’m here, I’ll stay forever by your side So don’t cry when I go Cus I gave you everything I got and more. I won’t forget the time I’ve spent Or regret the life I’ve led Life is fragile and I don’t have a plan But no matter where I stand I’m on top of the world This is as good as it gets Raise a glass and we’ll drink to it Cus this night will last a lifetime And if I’m right, Things will never be like The time we spend Everything we do, it just gets us closer to the end So let’s make the most of this Let’s make the most of this I’m just happy to know I’m alive and breathing. Love’s in my heart, and it’s still beating

Grassroots 03:03
Pipe dreams of being famous Might seem a little childish Labeled underground And No one cares about it Where has the music scene gone to? Looks like everyone’s content with Following the crowd And manufactured sound I hope you know by now At this point we won’t back down Stand strong or move along This scene is a family now More bands everyday they Break up in the same way Saying they have grassroots we know that’s not the truth Money can’t buy me stardom I Don’t have an A&R rep We stick to our guns And do all our own stunts I hope you know by now At this point we won’t back down Stand strong or move along This scene is a family now

So you want the answer Don’t worry I’ll make sure That your brain gets its exercise You’ll be the first in line So you want the answer Never came so everyone left It turns out it was there but it was never said Cus truth is close to useless It kills me when a good mind is defined by what is read Don’t let those words go to your head and change the way you think It’s sad but true the majority can’t lose No one really wins cus Winning infers what you gain Is getting rid of hurt and pain Cus everybody hurts everbody feels Like they’re the good guy One night we’ll realize it’s all the same Replay of a never-ending game But that’s alright cus Ignorant is just another word for happy Everyone that wins will become a has been That’s the problem when your Mind is set close to sure Your brain starts to recognize That the oppositions right That’s the problem when your on the edge And you can’t pick a side You’re falling I’m calling I’ve got more than one reason but Reason don’t help much Reason won’t help us I was doing fine And then the history books told me What the future has in store here Theres nothing on my mind But the way this all works out and the way I feel fine about it One night we’ll realize it’s all the same Replay of a never-ending game But that’s alright cus Ignorant is just another word for happy Everyone that wins will become a has been The past is nothing more than a complication Play it all off like it never happened Don’t say that The past is a world full of land mines And trying to change things wastes time These are results and prospects I’ll take everyday like it’s all mine Altruist views to the wayside These are results and prospects But no one wants them I was doing fine And then the history books told me What the future has in store here There’s nothing on my mind But the way this all works out and the way I feel fine about it One night we’ll realize it’s all the same Replay of a never-ending game But that’s alright cus Ignorant is just another word for happy Everyone that wins will become a has been The past is nothing more than a complication Play it all off like it never happened Don’t say that

Stay With Me 03:38
As the candles burn into the night I’ll watch you in their light And I’ve never wanted more Than you right here right now and I’m sure You’ve got a few tricks in store A few things I won’t believe are coming out of your sleeves and Into my dreams Will you stay with me? While I catch my breath I’m scared half to death I’ll have to take the plunge Cant live without you and Id die to be around you So will you stay with me I’m so taken and my heart is racing Tell me what it will take I’m at a loss for words You may not be all mine, but I’m all yours I’ve played this out in my head Oh Time after time Every verse and every line And never changed a thing that was said. Will you stay with me? While I catch my breath I’m scared half to death I’ll have to take the plunge Cant live without you and Id die to be around you So will you stay with me? You don’t know what you mean to me, This just isn’t what it seems. Because when it comes to you I’m nothing less than selfish, But I can’t help it. Will you stay with me? While I catch my breath I’m scared half to death I’ll have to take the plunge Cant live without you and Id die to be around you So will you stay with me? As the candles burn into the night I’ll watch you in their light

Moving On 04:32
How did it go down like this? It’s hit or miss We shouldn’t end up like this My heart is gone But I feel more alive since it’s all done I see it breaking you down Don’t you think this life is meaningless? You’ll see the point in all of this someday Just hold on To that spark that lights your flame Another memory filled with shame All the best lies are told with the greatest intentions For a chance at redemption All the best crimes are never done blind It was you that brought us here It was you and all your fear So just keep moving on Well just keep moving on Are you honest when you speak? In your eyes you seem so weak I know it’s hard to admit your demons Keep finding reasons to keep them at bay Don’t you see this life is worth a risk? I know it’s hard I’ll promise you this Just hold on cus you’re stronger than you know Your gonna let it show I’ll let you know All the best lies are told with the greatest intentions For a chance at redemption All the best crimes are never done blind It was you that brought us here It was you and all your fear So just keep moving on Well just keep moving on You had to get so far gone But it’s never far enough You’re shifting your weight to throw us off the wire I won’t be fooled again (I won’t be fooled again) All the best lies are told with the greatest intentions For a chance at redemption All the best crimes are never done blind It was you that brought us here It was you and all your fear So just keep moving on Well just keep moving on

You say you’re angry but hey You’re feeling something There is worse things than the life you’re living Just look beyond what they call ordinary This world might get you down At least it’s still going round I hope you’ll see that love is how we’re bound If I told you that life was as simple as this Would you understand? Cus I’ve seen first hand That looking at the glass half full could be the start I know it’s hard but everybody has their part in this plan (in this plan) Ask yourself what’s worth all the anger Theres few things in this life worth pulling that tug like an anchor You’re throwing punches in the air Never hitting always missing the point I hope you’ll see that when we find love its harmony If I told you that life was as simple as this Would you understand? Cus I’ve seen first hand That looking at the glass half full could be the start I know it’s hard but everybody has their part in this plan (in this plan) Wake up wake up… If I told you that life was as simple as this Would you understand? Cus I’ve seen first hand That looking at the glass half full could be the start I know it’s hard but everybody has their part in this plan (in this plan)

There’s only four things that matter And that’s three chords and the truth They say that music is a weapon So I will use it for me and for you So sing with me now like you mean it Sing at the top of your lungs There won’t be a day that you’ll have to be afraid If there’s still a song to be sung (there’s still a song to be sung)
