Couldn't wait to advance 
When we were just little men 
We had the world at our fingertips 
When we dreamt we were so fearless  
Now we're older and we're sober
Know the secrets of the human structure
Down we float this river
Til the tide takes us down forever

Still got this beating heart
But a lifetime of letdowns can,
Leave you lost in the dark   
Do you care that we're sinking?
  
Whats left for us to wonder?
Played out like beat up records
I lie awake forever 
No sleep to ease this pressure
God come down and guide us
Through this cloud
We're stuck here searching  
For something to fill us now    
 
This raw perception
Bites like the heathen
Run from this vision
Live in your kingdom

Killing time with friends 
And doing drugs to Kurt C's band
Playing tunes til dawn
And sleepin' in til the moonlight shines again
Be kind let them all in
You're a wave being tossed in the ocean
Yeah it's hard to accept
No matter how far we go we won't see all these creations          

Still got this beating heart
But a lifetime of letdowns can,
Leave you lost in the dark   
Do you care that we're sinking?
  
Whats left for us to wonder?
Played out like beat up records
I lie awake forever 
No sleep to ease this pressure
God come down and guide us
Through this cloud
We're stuck here searching  
For something to fill us now    
 
This raw perception
Bites like the heathen
Run from this vision
Live in your kingdom

Drugs & Nirvana

Fly so high
Feel your soul. It's soaring above the sky
It's leaving your stuggles and pain behind

Come in I swear you'll belong 
Leave out the parts that feel off
You've had this all in your head
But it's just all in your head 
Break out the cage that was locked
It's just a figment of thought
Now nothings up in your head
You're free to raise what was dead

They'll never tame you
Can't even phase you  

Scream out! We're higher than high
We live loud, like kings in the sky
Don't be so sore about this  
I'm not one to brag about it
I'm so sick of your disease, it kills me

"You're the closest you've ever been to the best you, you'll ever be. And no one, not anyone, can tell you otherwise or take it away from you. So climb your mountains, run your races and fight your demons. what you're facing now doesn't compare to what the prize will be at the finish line. Keep going. You're a champion."

Get up lets see what you've got
Shed off the shell that lives not
You're gonna see that you're hot
They'll feel the fire of your shot 
Hold firm to what lead your eye
Be bold and shine big and bright
You've got the keys to survive
Let go and fly in the sky 

They'll never tame you
Can't even phase you  

Scream out! We're higher than high
We live loud, like kings in the sky
Don't be so sore about this  
I'm not one to brag about it
I'm so sick of your disease, it kills me

Close your eyes and know the table's turning
Wild tonight they'll see the beast inside you
Close your eyes and know the table's turning
Wild tonight they'll see the beast inside you
 
Fly so high
Feel your soul. It's soaring above the sky
It's leaving your stuggles and pain behind

Soaring

Can you just imagine another heart beatin' to your rhythm
And from the way it sounds, 
Might bring God down to join in on this feeling
Slow down your breathing 
Goosebumps from all the teasing
And when your clothes fall down 
Let go and drown til every sense is tingling

Taste this fierce venom
Our lust feeds this tension  
Tell me your secrets
My safe's secure, untouched

My love, I promise this
Your touch like innocence 
I've never wanted more than what you have
So high you've gotten me
I'm stuck in this fantasy
I'll always wonder why you're next to me

We're at it again and it's how you lay your kiss 
It inspires like the lights of the Paris rose into heaven  
Can't fight the feeling
In your eyes it's like I'm dreaming
And the way you move leaves me so hot 
My soul lost in your vision

Left here smothering
Your thunder deafening
Astounded, I'm loving it  
Strange how this never ends

My love, I promise this
Your touch like innocence 
I've never wanted more than what you have
My love, I promise this
Your touch like innocence 
I've never wanted more than what you have
So high you've gotten me
I'm stuck in this fantasy
I'll always wonder why you're next to me

Lyrics:
______________________________________

Eyes glistening 
Yet still here sleepwalking 
And Still I find silence hard to keep
Cause my words fall out, rip me apart the seams 
And When I see you out in the streets
I stand there wishing I was invisible

I hardly sleep 
For fear of what tomorrow brings
And how could I get so lost,
In a place known so well to me?
Here I'm still broken
In a family united 
Answer this mystery
Surrounded by strangers with so many answers
Don't know who I can believe

Everything's is moving faster than my speed 
And no place I can be alone where no one's there but me
I tell myself that everything is going to be okay,
And then a seizure hits erasing everything I worked to be
I know The life I had ain't coming back.
I'll never be the same, 
won't hold it in too long 
I know it's bad for me
So instead, I write them down on paper
Just know they're buried deeper 
Going in the grave with me

They always force a fight.
A fight I cannot win.
God only knows why I try, it's 1 to 1 million.
I've fought for so long
Will this ever end?
It's like a hurricane never ending

I'm So fucking lost it hurts

I hardly sleep, 
For fear of what tomorrow brings
And how could I get so lost,
In a place known so well to me?
Here I'm still broken
In a family united 
Answer this mystery
Surrounded by strangers with so many answers
Don't know who I can believe
 
So many tears I have shed in the dark
Hidden away in the privacy we pretend exists 
With a hundred eyes on me
Clawing at my purest dreams  
My confidence is dwindling
& I just wanna fly away
And it hurts to know I'll never be the same
Knowing I'll never be the man I used to be
Was enough to set my demons free 
If you only knew all the hell that I've been through,
I wish you'd walk a mile inside shoes
Feel the way us outcasts do

They always force a fight.
A fight I cannot win.
God only knows why I try, it's 1 to 1 million.
I've fought for so long
Will this ever end?
It's like a hurricane never ending

So fucking lost it hurts

I've heard The harder we fall, 
the stronger we rise, 
and it's hard to deny
But I found the illusion is to make you forget
Their mechanism beckons for their worship, 
eating their gems
And I can't believe you really think 
that's it's flawless system
Cause after all we're only human and so fucking stupid
So place your bets
It doesn't really matter in the end

They say our highest self is revealed in our darkest moment 

and they say our pain waters the gardens of our greatest 

strengths.
But I can't help but feel you're the shadow sending chills
Cause everything I do seems to be brought down by you
You say you really like me 
Well if it's true 
then tell me why the hell am I so goddamn lonely

I hardly sleep, 
For fear of what tomorrow brings
And how could I get so lost,
In a place known so well to me?
Here I'm still broken
In a family united 
Answer this mystery
Surrounded by strangers with so many answers
Don't know who I can believe
