Lyrics:

They say as you age ya gain wisdom
But they just envy
The days filled with passion and games
As if life has meaning
They gave up their dreams for their jobs
To raise a family
Is it really so wise to surrender 
Your needs for others?

I've seen the consequence of young marriage
Split my parents
They gave up their freedom too young
Now they're slaves to false love

If I were to die today
At least I would go with a silly grin
If I were to die today
At least my life's tale left me wanting more
If I were to die today
At least I'd be safe from a prison cell
If I were to die today
At least they could say I had psychic powers

Growing Pains

Recorded, mixed, mastered and bass performance by Jesse French

Goodbye, goodbye drowning my eyes I won't disguise this
Hearty, heartache knowing there's no room left to grow so I'll go
I knew that I'd lost you for quite some time
And yet I kept hoping we'd turn on a dime
But I wasn't needed for right reasons 
An old growing friend then and more of a kin
A pair of polar opposites, an eager beginner a queen of the art
The sinking desires I had to retire, unopened present an open dead end
Eight years of company you are never on your own
Take time discover how to live now all alone

Chorus repeat

And now when I'm driving the memories fire 
That night at the city we sang by the fire
You taught me to live more and throw a punch
I made you more mellow and soften to touch
Ginger libation will never taste the same
At least now we can say we gave it a shot

Goodbye, goodbye see you in life when it feels right 
I'll always, always cherish our time, glad you were mine for a while

The Things You Thought

Organs failing, eyes are melting
Oh this time I really lost my-
Ativan man, doesn't work then
Oh this time I really lost my-
Motivation and concentration
Oh this time I really lost my mind

Thoughts keep fleeting
Can't stop sleeping
And no one seems to care
Helpless victim
Says she needs him
Such a sad affair
But I don't care

And I will break you down
I'll take it all
Your very soul
