Pressure
03:45
|
|||
|
I was put under the pressure of society and school
To get my life together get a job and be good
I don’t know what I want to be, how can I see
Did you know the answer when you were only 16?
Sometimes I act different cause I don’t want them to know
That the pressure that they put on us is turning me to stone
I know that you don’t see it but I’m insecure too
Sometimes I lie awake at night, scared of what to do.
The pressure that they put on us is way too much
I can see that it’s destroying you it’s no secret
And slowly, slowly, slowly, it’s getting to me
It’s chopping my emotions down like the wood from a tree.
It’s too much pressure.
The more time I spend in that unofficial prison,
The more I get the feeling we aren’t there to learn, only to listen
And then they talk about anxiety and depression,
But maybe it wouldn’t be there if we weren’t under this pressure.
Don’t you know.
The pressure that they put on us is way too much
I can see that it’s destroying you it’s no secret.
And slowly, slowly, slowly, it’s getting to me
It’s chopping my emotions down like the wood from a tree.
Why are we there if it’s not for us,
All this pressure is turning into a cloud of dust.
I can’t see clearly, and I don’t know why,
This dust is in my eyes now I’m starting to cry.
The pressure that they put on us is way too much
I can see that it’s destroying you it’s no secret.
And slowly, slowly, slowly it’s getting to me,
It’s chopping my emotions down like the wood from a tree.
Too much pressure (too much pressure).
Don’t let go.

Make It Up To You
03:33

All the years that you’ve known me
Never once have I really shown you me
I’m not as simple as I appear
And I think I’ve made that all too clear
Please don’t run
Please don’t take the safety off your gun
I’m sorry that I was so cruel, you know that I’m a fool
My friends, I’ll make it up to you
Chemistry is a funny subject
The way that chemicals change and produce a pain
I never comprehended
You got a sight of me, a way I’d never seen
The monster inside of me bubbling and bubbling
Please don’t run
Please don’t take the safety off your gun
I’m sorry that I was so cruel, you know that I’m a fool
My friends, I’ll make it up to you
Can you forgive me, can you give me another chance
Can you forgive me, can you see through my mistakes
Please I know (don’t go)
I’m begging you, I’m on the floor
Don’t go away, I need you
Need you to stay
Help me through
Help me please do
Oh, my friends, I’d make it up to you.

The Grey Sky
06:41
|

|
Can you hear it, can you hear that sound
The sound, the sound of rain on the ground
It's a rain of blood, a rain of tears
You can hear the rain pounding in your ears
On the TV, a new television show
For them, a horror we can't know
A gas grenade, renegade
They aren't able to evade
And we laugh at the dust cloud that has formed
I don't know what to do
I can't believe the world can't see
What is going to come to be
The people die, the children cry
And all we care is we survive
What about the people there
Who are front row to the bombs we share
Who are we to say to them
That they have a duty to defend the grey sky
The Grey Sky
Under which they die
The soldiers coming home from war
Mad at the state that doomed the fate
Of comrades they had loved
But on the bodies of loved ones across the field
You can see something starting to grow out and steal
The color of the blood that had been spilled
You can see
A beautiful lily
Raising its head up high
To the grey sky
I can't believe the world can't see
What is going to come to be
The people die and the children they cry
And all we care is we survive
But there is a chance,
Yeah we may advance
Maybe we can step out of our tanks
And see the beauty that has bloomed
It stands for more than me and you
It stands for the soldier
It stands for the man
It stands for the soul
Underneath our skin
It's a big reminder
It's a memorial
For all the civilians
Their burial
It stands
It stands
It stands
It stands
For the grey sky
For the grey sky
Under which they die

I'm Taken
03:39
|

|
It's the weekend, you're with your friends
In the club or a street, house, or a pub
It doesn't really matter
Once you get there, there's this chick
She's looking at you, what a prick
And then she starts to talk to you
She's like, "dude you look so fine,
would you like to spend some time”
And then I said
I'm sorry, I'm taken
Honey, you're bakin’
But sweetheart, you gotta know
I'm taken but I'd still fuck you though
I'm sorry, I'm taken
Honey, you're bakin’
But sweetheart, you gotta know
I'm taken but I'd still fuck you though
Then once you start with the drinking
You start to get thinking
What the hell did I just do?
I turned down this hot bacon
I don't think that she was faking
I know what I've gotta do
I walked up to her door and asked her where she wants to go
Oh I said
I'm sorry, I'm taken
Honey, you're bakin’
So guess what
I'm down to fuck
Tomorrow I'm gonna feel like a schmuck
I'm sorry, I'm taken
Honey, you're bakin’
So guess what
I'm down to fuck
Tomorrow I'm gonna feel like a schmuck
You walk out of the bathroom
You look at each other and then laugh (hmm)
But what then
Who do you see
You see your girl staring right back at thee
No, No, No
I'm sorry, I'm taken
Honey, you're bakin’
But sweetheart you gotta see
My girl found out so you've heard the last of me
I'm sorry, I'm taken
But Honey, you're bakin’
Sweetheart you gotta see
My girl found out so you've heard the last of me

It was the night of election day on November 8th
We were all thinking "Oh God not this damn cheapskate”
Have all the people here lost their minds?
Do they need to start doing time?
Maybe so, hey I don't know but if you ask me he's got to go
Why oh why did this happen here
Please oh please just disappear
These 4 years haven't been time well spent
Just from me to you, fuck you Mr. President
I guess the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree
Someone like could not imagine what it's like to be me
You're sucking the life out of this country like you're a leech
You're gonna need your spray-on tans
Cause in prison there is no fucking beach
Why oh why did this happen here
Please oh please just disappear
I hope for a better day
Just please be sent away
Why oh why did this happen here
Please oh please just disappear
Don't come back on any other day
Hear what I have to say
Fuck you Mr. President

A New Year
03:29
|

|
A long time since I’ve been out there
A long time for people like me
It’s unbearable
All the parties that I could’ve had
And all those times that I was sad
I know, I’m not alone
But the one thing, that I know
Is that there’s always tomorrow
Tomorrow will bring the light
And there will be no more fights
I believe, the bad things will leave
A long time since I saw you
A long time without you
The pain doesn’t stop growing
I know that someday, we’ll be together
And then we’ll run through the heather
(The heather)
But there’s one thing that I know
It’s that we’ll overcome the sadness, and the troubles will go
We’ll be able to stand face to face, and fly out into space
Oh baby, the new year is here
There’s a new year coming, it’s just around the corner
A new year of living and growing older
It’s a mystery what this year will bring
But I believe things can change
Oh baby, it’ll be alright
There’s a new year coming
Tomorrow’s just around the corner

Surprise You

Help me
To help you
Tell me
What to do
Most times I think that we are alright
But then a day later, you passively fight
I know that I'm a fool
You once told me that it's true
But I can't change unless you
Tell me the truth
Cause I might surprise you
It's great spending my time with you
Until I find out that I upset you
With something I did
Something I thought
Would bring you joy and comfort
How stupid I was
But then again
You know that I'm a fool
You once told me that it's true
But I can't change unless you
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth
Cause I might surprise you
I might surprise you
Don't say
That everything's ok
Because maybe
I might just change
A thing or two for you
Don't assume that I won't do that
Don't assume that I can't do that
Cause baby if you tell me the truth
I'll surprise you
I'll surprise you
I'll surprise you

Hey pretty darling, I hope you're alright
I know that sometimes life just isn't right
It's unfair and cruel
You don't know what to do
But honestly that's just how life has its rules
But sometimes, oh baby, you get a break
Take a step back, relax and enjoy this day
I wish you happy, happy birthday from all my heart
I wish I'd been with you from the very start
There's still a lot to go
For better or worse,
But that's the future baby
Now let's have a toast
To your 18th birthday
Your 18th birthday
18th Birthday
18th Birthday
If you ever need me, through thick or thin
I'm only one call away
I'm only one
I'm only one call away
Happy, happy birthday from all my heart
I wish I'd been with you from the very start
There's still a lot to go
For better or worse
But that's the future baby
Now let's have a toast
To your 18th birthday

Become The Rain
03:50

There is a little story about an older man
He cared for his daughter, he had it all planned
He treated her with kindness, the likes she’d never seen
And all those years together they were the best that they could be
But that paradise came crashing down in flames
When mother nature started playing games
The diagnosis was swift, the symptoms swifter
Before he left, he said these words to gift her
(One day) You’ll become the rain
Away from all this pain
See the world above
You’ll wake up, love
You’ll become the rain
Away from all this pain
They’ll look up to you
Child, I Love you
The girl traveled all those years
Carrying his message, it played in her ears
And as the cycle was about to complete itself
On her death bed, she heard this sound
You’ll become the rain
Away from all this pain
See the world above
You’ve woken up love
You’ve become the rain
Away from all this pain
Look down from above
Child we’ve become one

BFF

It’s over and done, the devil has won
Thought I’d be with you forever, I know it’s dumb
But it still cuts through me
Girl you’re ruining me
I still love you, I do, you know that its true
There’s nothing much about it you can do
But if there’s one thing
Just one thing
Please don’t forget about the time we had together
No matter the time, the place, or the weather
I still remember you as my sunflower
I’m crying cause I’ve lost my lover
Do you remember the times that we got wasted
We had our problems, but we faced them
Its hard to believe that it’s over now
I’d love you forever, I think that it’s better?
At least we’re kinda together? Why do I fuck things up.
You’re the kindest soul that I know
Can’t imagine I could replace you
Remember the car, or out at your barn
And under the stars we could’ve gone so far
But you’re still my best friend, I still wish we could be …
One and the same, just without the pain
Of not knowing when to stop playing the game
We had our fun, and we were number one
But life isn’t nice, it pulled out its gun
I’m just grateful for you and everything that you do
But it’s alright because I know you
And you’re still my girl and I’m still your boy
We’re gonna be like this till the day we die
Best Friends Forever
Why did we have to fall?
Our love was the most perfect of all
You broke my heart
Right in two
Girl you beat me so bad, I’m black and blue
Now you’re you
And I am me
But we’ll still go down in history

Pegasus
03:48
|
|||
|
He wanted to jump that brook, and he fell asleep wishing. Wishing that he could jump the brook, the way his mother did.
To grow up was what I wanted
To be big, to be fast, be in first, not in last
But I guess that’s in the past
I heard the story of a little horse
The way it’s written it could sound like it was me
The most ambitious thing, that he dreamt
Was that he jumped and sprouted wings and turned into a Pegasus
He turned into a Pegasus
To run, to jump, to fall from a bump
To trip on the roots of life and get dumped by your dreams
Why is life so mean?
I wanna sprout my wings like the little horse
Fly up to a place where I can’t get hurt
I’ve mourned my innocence
That’s why I turned into the Pegasus
He thought, “With these wings, I can jump over anything!”, and he did. He went higher, and higher.
When I woke up
I looked around
I tried to find what was mine, but my wings they had lied
I was in the biggest river
If only I could jump back to the other side
From which I so wanted to desperately fly, I was wrong
I was wrong
To run, to jump, to fall from a bump
To trip on the roots of life and get dumped by your dreams
Why is life so mean?
I wanna sprout my wings like the little horse
And fly up to a place where I can’t get hurt
I’ve mourned my innocence
That’s why I turned into the Pegasus
I am a Pegasus
(And he jumped right over the brook! He was so happy. He looked back to admire once again his silver wings. They were gone. Great Scott! He had jumped the brook without wings!)
