There was a cold wind blowing through my window I was told that’s just the way it will always be Get a job, pay the bills, listen up, and keep your mouth shut So I’d drink and I’d smoke to escape my reality Then I found what truly matters As the leaves all hit the ground Hidden way down deep inside And the clouds all start to clear Now I’m living with my heroes There’s a whole new life for me And I will fight to keep us alive Now I’m awake in November and starting to see The world is revolving but not around me I can finally breathe So bring on December, we’re not gonna freeze Little heads on our shoulders Your arms around me We are finding peace I couldn’t care less about your haircut Or the lack of makeup on your face You have everything I need Still I say a lot of shit I don’t mean I am trying to never let you down Now I’m awake in November and starting to see The world is revolving but not around me I can finally breathe So bring on December, we’re not gonna freeze Little heads on our shoulders Your arms around me We are finding peace We built something From nothing Built something From nothing Now I’m awake in November and starting to see The world is revolving but not around me I can finally breathe So bring on December, we’re not gonna freeze Little heads on our shoulders Your arms around me We are finding peace We can finally breathe We built something From nothing Ain’t that something

Who I Am 04:00
There’s a darkness in my mind Makes me feel like I’m falling behind All of the shadows bring me back Cold and heartless war with time Panic disorder distorting the light Give me a moment so I can divide and conquer And finally find Who I am Who I am Who I am Who I am Who I am Who I am Born as a soldier and thrown to the fire Holding a shield to protect my desire Now I’m a father to hold and inspire As the world spins around and around and around The sound of her voice really makes it clear The roads that were broken have led me here Give me moment so I can rewind and thank you For helping me find Who I am Who I am Who I am Who I am Who I am Who I am

Homesick 03:16
I took a chance, took a risk, 08-01-14 She woke me up in the morning saying this is over Lost the connection with my only friend, doing lines in the den I swallowed pills to ignore this cold disclosure But i don’t regret all the things I’ve left That have brought me here to Kansas City And I won’t forget you and I could never let you Slip away or let the memory fade. I’ve been homesick for a couple years now And I miss the friends who hung out But my wife and I are great We bought a house in our new state Ya know I need to hug my mother And score a touchdown with my brother And I really cannot wait for my dad to grill us a steak Still I don’t regret a single thing I left That brought me here to Kansas City And I won’t forget you and I could never let you Slip away or let the memory fade Well you know I used to be the one Who would run away from the sun And find the darkest room to hide in And never let the light in Now I’m out on the run My new story has just begun This time the focus for my life is Love, respect, and kindness

Who’d you think you are, tryin’ to move to fast Ignoring truth, playing hide and seek Fold your hands when it gets too deep We are waiting for a courageous lead I’m tired of feeling the wind Blowing away and I cannot breathe (Take the wheel and start to steer In the face of doubt It’s on our heels Exhaust your face, get lost in feels The sound of bass, sound of bass, sound of bass…) Oooh, do you think the world should bow at your feet? Climb to higher ground Walk the road that you claim to seek Oooh, do you long for the world that we used to be? Would you dig her grave In the dead of night in a quarantine Who, who do you live for When the sun goes down Falling, falling, too deep Who, who do you die for When the sun goes down Falling, falling to sleep (Take the wheel and start to steer In the face of doubt It’s on our heels. Exhaust your face, get lost in feels. The sound of bass, sound of bass, sound of bass…) Oooh, do you think the world should bow at your feet? Climb to higher ground Walk the road that you claim to seek Oooh, do you long for the world that we used to be? Would you dig her grave In the dead of night in a quarantine Who do you die for? When the sun goes down…

Sunlight coming after me And I need to find another way Get me through the day It’s got me in a mood Why’s the second hand gotta be so mean It walks beside me and pulls on my sleeve It’s making me nervous ‘Cause I’m at war with the clock and I am getting defeated Every move that I make is like I’m ten more behind (Every time, time, every single time, time) Hey! Hey! Time is the enemy Hey! Hey! It gets the best of me Maybe someday far away from here, from here We’ll start anew under the same moon Man, my mind is wandering Why’s the second hand gotta be so mean It lies down beside me and counts down the sleep That I won’t get tonight ‘Cause I’m at war with the clock and I am getting defeated Every move that I make is like I’m ten more behind (Every time, time, every single time, time) Hey! Hey! Time is the enemy Hey! Hey! It gets the best of me One more word alarm clock and I will smash you to pieces The time I lie in my bed is really not your concern Hey, hey, hey, hey ‘Cause I’m at war with the clock and I am getting defeated Every move that I make is like I’m ten more behind (Every time, time, every single time, time) Hey! Hey! Time is the enemy Hey! Hey! It gets the best of me (Time is the enemy, it gets the best of me)

True lust is something I’ve never tried So please don’t ever question me For this lifetime running time moves slow I spin in circles questioning Who I am Cry with your last words, “Let me breathe. Just let me breathe.” You’ll suffocate Your insides will give up Deteriorate Don’t ask me to save you You’re much too late Your skin is now peeling Your breath has been tamed It’s your turn now You’ll suffocate Your insides will give up Deteriorate Don’t ask me to save you You’re much too late Your skin is now peeling Your breath has been tamed It’s your turn now And I’m leaving Stop breathing I’m walking away You’re scratching the surface With nothing to say I didn’t deserve this You’re wanting to change But I’m not through this hurting Walking away As you’re left there burning I’m walking away You’re scratching the surface With nothing to say I didn’t deserve this You’re wanting to change But I’m not through this hurting Walking away And you’re not deserving of me Tomorrow just might change my mind But I can’t stand here and waste all my time Tomorrow might put me a step behind So I can’t stand here and waste your time Tomorrow will never change my mind And all we had was a waste of our time Cuz you lied You lied You’re a fucking liar

Medicine 03:38
Drifting away further each day Head full of rage Wrong way into cyberspace You’re all alone, holding your phone Where is your home, calling in code Every word you say is on a replay One more time, the fire burns You don’t know what hit you One more time, we need to learn We don’t know what to do How many nights will you lie to yourself To make up an excuse why your life isn’t changing Get back in line, pull your pride back behind Before the breakdown maybe you could use some Medicine Pushing and pushing with nothing to prove To the ones you accuse you’re the master in trolling How many nights ‘til you die in your shell? Time to break out, maybe you could change yourself Acceleration, digital feud Misinformation leaking through on the morning news It’ll blow your mind Kill you inside Dirty little secret, pretty lies You won’t believe them until you’re left with nothing Divide and multiply One more time, the fire burns You don’t know what hit you One more time, we need to learn We don’t know what to do How many nights will you lie to yourself To make up an excuse why your life isn’t changing Get back in line, pull your pride back behind Before the breakdown maybe you could use some Medicine Pushing and pushing with nothing to prove To the ones you accuse you’re the master in trolling How many nights ‘til you die in your shell? Time to break out, maybe you could change yourself Medicate

Lost 03:45
Leave your footprints in the sand And watch the waves come crashing in To reclaim your energy And take you back to sea Live with purpose and understand The day will come when the way you smile Becomes a memory Go build your legacy ‘Cause the people that we touch And the bridges that we cross Won’t be lost And the pages that we turn And the lessons that we learn Won’t be lost As the clouds move overhead The world moves on after our days end We are the universe Open up your mind and listen Go move mountains, travel new lands Learn from mistakes, open up your hands Our time is limited Go be anything you want my child ‘Cause the people that we touch And the bridges that we cross Won’t be lost And the lessons that we learn Through the pages that we turn Won’t be lost
