Somewhat Sleepy

Inspirational Challenge

Brace for Impact

Thinks that he owns all that he sees
Thinks we all should worship at his feet
He thinks everything’s a game
And thinks you should feel the same
Thinks life’s a troublemaking spree
Thinks it’s a joke, a toy, a revelry
Troublemaker
He’s a troublemaker

He’s a troublemaker
And he’s getting away with
All his tricks and all his treats
‘Cause he makes trouble while you sleep
He’s a troublemaker
But it’s hard to hate him
‘Cause his smile spans a mile
And his bright, blue eyes beguile
Troublemaker
He’s a troublemaker

You don’t want to confront him
But he’s up to something
This champion of chaos
Always working on his latest
It’s so frustrating
Might drive you crazy
But he’s got to have his fun
And he won’t stop until he’s done
Troublemaker
He’s a troublemaker

He’s a troublemaker
And he’s getting away with
All his tricks and all his treats
‘Cause he makes trouble while you sleep
He’s a troublemaker
But it’s hard to hate him
‘Cause his smile spans a mile
And his bright, blue eyes beguile
Troublemaker
He’s a troublemaker

Troublemaker

Lyrics:
You’re leaving again
I can no longer pretend
That the silence from your side
Is simply coincidence
You’re leaving again
I don’t know where to begin
Should I put up a fight?
Or just let this era end?

I should have seen it coming
This isn’t the first time
That you have started running
I should have seen the signs
I should have known better
Ohhh
I should have seen it coming
I should have seen you leaving
Ohhh

I see you leaving again
Just when I’d gotten settled in
Just when I thought that finally something was going right
Just when I’d begun to believe that we’d make it this time
I see you leaving again
I see you fading out and drifting away
I see you leaving
Oh, like déjà vu I see you leaving
Leaving again

You’re leaving again
What was it this time?
Was I too much or too little?
Am I just not your type?
You’re leaving again
Why did I think that this time
Maybe for once you’d decide
To break with tradition and stay
Ohhh

I should’ve seen it coming
This isn’t the first time
That you have started running
I should have seen the signs
I should have known better
Ohhh
I should have seen it coming
I should have seen you leaving
Ohhh

I see you leaving again
Just when I’d gotten settled in
Just when I thought that finally something was going right
Just when I’d begun to believe that we’d make it this time
I see you leaving again
I see you fading out and drifting away
I see you leaving
Oh, like déjà vu I see you leaving
Leaving again

You're Leaving Again

Lyrics:
A life sentence on the wheel of torture
Stretched between extremes
All the while wondering:
Wouldn’t it be better
Just to shorten my forever?

It may sound tragic or traumatic
But for me it’s just habit
A new low is my true love
And no love is my real deal
What I feel is theoretical
Shut it out to save my soul
This is not a drill
It’s all far too real 

Sometimes I want to give up and let it all blow up
My crime of passion is to self destruct
Handcuffs knitted from tears that dared to run amok
After a dream so good it almost hurt to wake up

It may sound tragic or traumatic
But for me it’s just habit
A new low is my true love
And no love is my real deal
What I feel is theoretical
Shut it out to save my soul
This is not a drill
It’s all far too real

Life Sentence

Lyrics:
You’ve been gone for quite a while
Can’t remember your last smile
Your lips may spread and your teeth may show
But the light in your eyes no longer glows
You’ve been gone for quite a while
Can’t remember the last time
That I saw the one I know
And not this ghost of woe

Tell me your troubles and struggles and puzzles
I really want to know
Tell me what tortures you inside your bubble
I want to give you hope

You’ve been gone for quite a while
Can’t remember your last smile
Your lips may spread and your teeth may show
But the light in your eyes no longer glows
You’ve been gone for quite a while
Can’t remember the last time
That I saw the one I know
And not this ghost of woe

Will your sadness last forever?
Is it stuck inside your soul?
Can I hope for fairer weather?
Is it out of your control?

You’ve been gone for quite a while
Can’t remember your last smile
Your lips may spread and your teeth may show
But the light in your eyes no longer glows
You’ve been gone for quite a while
Can’t remember the last time
That I saw the one I know
And not this ghost of woe

Absent

Lyrics:
Yeah, I’ve got a problem; that problem is me
I run from what’s good, and I stick to shitty
I’d say call me honey, except I’m not sweet
I look like the blossom but sting like the bee

Yeah, I’ve got a problem; that problem is me
Can’t help it; I grew up before I could read
Learned all my life lessons from bad mp3s
Based all my decisions on no guarantees

Problem
Yeah, I’ve got a problem
And that problem is me
And that problem is me
That problem is me
That problem is me

Yeah, I’ve got a problem; that problem is me
My problem is me
I could give you excuses and apologies
I could pray for solutions and leniency
I could get down on my knees and beg for mercy
But I’d still have this problem
I’d still be the problem
I’d still be me

Problem
Yeah, I’ve got a problem
And that problem is me
And that problem is me
That problem is me
That problem is me

Problem
Yeah, I’ve got a problem
And that problem is me
And that problem is me
That problem is me
That problem is me

Problem

Lyrics:
Oh
Ohhh
Something’s not right

Full stop
The hour is midnight
And something’s not right
I can see it in your eyes
Ohhh
It’s clear
That the news is bad
Your clenched jaw betrays
The truth your mouth won’t say

Why’s it always trouble when it comes to you?
I bring you my open heart and you tear it apart
Why do you hurt me so bad? Why do you do these things?
If only I’d known better, I would have never let this start

Full stop
What is it this time?
I know it’s nothing good
That much is understood
It’s clear
I won’t like what you say
When you decide to reveal
The reason your eyes are clouding my sunny day

Why’s it always trouble when it comes to you?
I bring you my open heart and you tear it apart
Why do you hurt me so bad? Why do you do these things?
If only I’d known better, I would have never let this start

Full stop
Something’s not right
It’s clear
Something’s not right

Why’s it always trouble when it comes to you?
I bring you my open heart and you tear it apart
Why do you hurt me so bad? Why do you do these things?
If only I’d known better, I would have never let this start

Something's Not Right

Lyrics:
Don’t say forever, ‘cause I won’t believe it
What you really mean is just until we part
Don’t promise me miracles if you can’t deliver
Don’t jump for the skies if you know you’ll fall short

Forever only lasts as long as we’re together
Miracles only happen in fairy tales and fantasies
The laws of physics can’t just be bent whenever
You won’t hypnotize me with your silly fallacies

Things won’t go as planned and tragedies will strike
Life will still be ruled by the ticks and the tocks
The midnight blues will keep coming night after night
If you tell me otherwise, you’ll have to prove you’re a god

Forever only lasts as long as we’re together
Miracles only happen in fairy tales and fantasies
The laws of physics can’t just be bent whenever
You won’t hypnotize me with your silly fallacies
