GOOD ENOUGH
you see the darkest parts of me but you’re still there
i only call you when i need someone who cares
i wonder how much more you’ll give while i just take
every selfish thing is kissed with my mistakes
i’m gonna die living this way
i am just a mess i must confess all my regrets
i don’t know what you see in me, how am i supposed be
good enough
i am just a mess of consequence i must confess
i don’t know what you see in me, how am i supposed be
good enough
each night my dreams burn in the dark and this heart never sleeps
how can you love me past these thoughts
thoughts are praying for keeps
i wonder how much more you’ll give, give while i just keep on taking
every selfish thing is kissed, kissed with how I am mistaken
i’m gonna die living this way
you still love me in spite of this, in spite of this mess
THE TICKING CLOCK (MISS UNDERSTOOD)
she learned more than just to exist
to be ignored in the streets of misfits
they use their words like bullets and she misunderstood it
they killed more than just her dreams with
accusations that they screamed at
her holding the broken pieces, unknowing that she would do it
and its a fine line before she unwinds
the ticking clock, steals away,
a careless thought and no one’s safe
escape the atmosphere before the end is here
hold on, before it’s too late, we blow away
sick of life and sick of trying, skeletons that she’s been hiding
come out in tears she’s crying, please don’t do it!
she hates who she’s been and become,
won’t face herself and her problems
too scared to fight ‘em alone, please don’t do it!
its a fine line before she unwinds
SIGNAL THE SMOKE
glaring distance you and me see
holding candles in the sunlight
searching for the party knee deep
praying for peace in the dogfight
i can’t see the signal through the smoke in my eyes
i wanna hear the truth coming through the lies
i can’t see the signal through the smoke in my eyes
i wanna hear the truth coming through the lies
don’t you know happy hour’s ending
last call for you all to draw near
we see the signs the angel’s sending
he’s crying loudly but we don’t hear
where are we now?
never really feeling what’s real
NOW I KNOW
until now i thought i was alone
i thought this world was growing cold
and everything that I’ve known
is slipping away from me
i never thought that i could be more
than what lies broken on the floor
empty heart empty thrills, empty promise to fulfill
and i was wrong, i’m better for it, i’m moving on
now i know i’ve never really been alone
now i know you’re the light that leads me home
now I know life or death you’ll never leave me
you’re the reason i can see what i didn’t know
until now, until now i didn’t think you were real
didn’t think that i could ever feel
anything but this emptiness deep inside of me
and I was wrong, i’m better for it, i’m moving on
NOBODY
somewhere outside the walls, there’s Nobody
seeing the one that isn’t Somebody call in a missing soul
dialing for assistance and then waiting on hold
dying to have a say or just the listen that he missin
sad to be here today no one will ever know
there is no place under the sun that Nobody can run
shutting down now
will you take the time to listen to what’s really inside?
will you ever find what’s missin to keep me alive?
running out of time to listen to what’s really inside
will you ever find what’s missin to keep me alive?
sliding inside the halls there’s Nobody
waiting for bells to ring for Somebody’s Angel sitting in class
first love’s always thinking that it’s gonna be last
dying for just one word or just that listen that he’s missin
anything to be heard, will anyone ever hear?
there is no place under the sun that Nobody can run
shutting down now
there’s nothing new under the sun, it’s all been done
time to restart
Nobody don’t forget you’re somebody
Nobody don’t forget you’re loved by me
STAND MY GROUND
stand up, baby. sit down. i’m so tired of changing
there’s no way in pleasing you so i’m not rearranging
and i’ll do this show for a party of one
and i’ll let you know when its coming undone
better run for cover i’ll wake you when it’s over
oh, it’s happening again all over again
i feel it taking me to places i don’t want to be
oh it’s happening again. the fight is deep within
it starts to pull me down and now it’s time
to stand my ground
grow up baby. shut up. can’t bite my lip no more
there’s no way to keep me quiet. as you quietly ignore.
i’ll do this show for a party of one
and i’ll let you know when it’s coming undone
run away or fight it out, breaking free, i’ll stand my ground
DRIVE ON
where do you go
on days when the road is so long and all the signs are gone
where do you go
on nights when the sky is pitch black and you cannot find a map
no one’s there for you as you stumble through
your friends have wandered off
as the road starts getting rough
drive on when the rain is pouring down
and the wind is in your eyes and you can’t see the light
drive on if your faith begins to doubt
if you’re lost and can’t be found and all your hope is gone…drive on
traveling alone trying to find a way back home
down a dark and heartless road, oh, where do you go
it’s been a lifetime of searching, a lifetime of running
trying to find the light to see the signs to lead you home
no one’s there for you as you stumble through
your friends have wandered off as the road starts getting rough
please God show me a sign, turn on the light, find me tonight
LOUD CLOUD
they say, “be just like me keep your dreams to yourself
keep your head out the clouds. you can live in your misery just like me”
and they won’t bring me down. they won’t undo me. they won’t take me out
you can call me crazy with my head in the clouds
but i can’t hear you cuz they’re talking so loud
now i’ve got a clearer view and
i’ve got some advice for you when i come down
they tried to bring me down to earth
“keep your faith to yourself and you won’t get hurt”
“all the words that you said won’t get heard in the end”
and they won’t bring me down, they won’t undo me , they won’t take me out
you are the one who sent for me, you are the one to rescue me
you are the only the only thing i need, you are the strength when i am weak
you are the meaning, air i breathe, you are the one help me believe
DIRTY SCENE
the walls have eyes the doors have ears the ceiling smells uncertainty
can’t I just live? can’t I just be? why does it all come down on me?
is this a sign this is the end? i watch as walls are closing in
don’t let my hopes be crushed. the wicked are the scum that you skim off.
(Help me)
this is a dirty scene, dirty scene.
this wasn’t what i need.
what i need is someone to save me.
this is a dirty scene, dirty scene.
it came, it saw, it conquered all and left me like a hungry child
my innocence is defenseless against all of these horrors running wild?
is this a sign this is the end? i watch as walls are closing in
don’t let my hopes be crushed. The wicked are the scum that you skim off.
(Help me)
INSIDE
lying all alone and in the dark
i feel so much apart of this emptiness
crying over these broken dreams
help me to believe, God help me to see
it all looks the same, but something has changed
inside, eternity’s waking
inside, beautifully changing
you have called me new,
inside a fire’s igniting
inside, with your love colliding
you have called me new and i am lost in you
inside
i know there’s still hope for me to see
the deepest parts of me,knowing this beauty
i hope what I was dies tonight
in my heart i come alive and you inspire me
it all seemed the same, but then something changed
deep inside of me and now you’ll never leave
the fear is erased. my heart is engaged
i can finally breathe because youre here with me
