Lyrics:

Thinking back when I was young and

Looking up at the crossing sky

Dreaming about all the things I knew

When I was just a boy


Firetrucks and cops and crooks

Things I saw in comic books

The little things that change a small boy’s mind

And how he acts


They talk about my heroic deeds

How I fulfilled all their wants and needs

I’d show the world all that I could be

But I didn’t understand


That when they looked into my eyes

They would ask me what’s my vice

I told the truth but they told lies


Live a life without hate or greed

Always look after family

It always looks like such a simple task

(At least that’s the mask)


Everyday is another test

You either fall in line or become the best

But honestly I think that I’m content

Without beating the rest


Never think of it as low

When you’re just an average joe

Don’t think at all, just let it go


Average Joe

Lyrics: 

I lay awake late at night 

In a dark, quiet room

But my thoughts are screaming loudly


With no helping hand

And no grand master plan

I just want to take charge of my life again



Ran with dangerous crowds

and a few broken vows

Now I’m taking my chance out 



Running from everything,

Going nowhere

Crossroads at every turn,

No path’s clear




The stars are caught in a haze in the distance		

They remind me of dreams 

Dangling just out of reach



Though the fog hasn’t lifted

There’s a hint of clear vision

The horizon’s expanding in scope


I might give up hope

But I won’t give up trying 

No idle promises, no lying


I won’t give up hope

And I won’t give up trying

No Idle promises, no lying


Running from everything,

Going nowhere

Crossroads at every turn,

No path’s clear


In a world where we strive to fit in 		        			

We’re stripped of any decision						

Our sense of self fades in our ambition		

But today I will change by volition	


Steps Forward

Lyrics:

How far did you have to take it?
How far did this need to go?
All I know is it’s got to end some way
All I know is I’ll make it end today

Back in forth through the days
Of passing blame
Back and forth pass the torch
All burned by flame

Question here, questions here
There’s just no way
To get the answers without a price to pay

How far did I have to take it?
How long ‘till I let you go?
What’s the matter with remembering good times, now?
What’s the matter with letting them bring me down

It’s always better but so hard to just move on
I don’t wanna girl, you just have turned me off

Baby please, baby please, make it easy for me
Give me a reason baby, make it so it’s easy to see
 
How far did you have to take it?
How far did this need to go?
All I know is it’s got to end somehow
All I know is that this is ending right now




Generic Breakup Song

Lyrics:

You cannot push me away

If I’m not yours anyway

I gave you all you could want

Even my still beating heart


How dare you do this to me


You have torn me asunder 

My whole world rattled by thunder

Clouds of grey, they fill the air

Hearts are breaking, everywhere


Whoredoms of your aching heart

Love from all those you have sought

Mistaken love for feelings feigned

The hour of forgiveness has waned


This brings no joy to me
