Days Go By

I’m finally okay with getting older
if I’m getting closer to you
cause 30’s not so bad,
when holding onto your hand
you wipe away all worry,
I’m happy just to share this day with you
The days go by…
I’m finally coming clean, I will not make concessions
the world could take or leave me,
(But) I’m depending on YOU now
to keep me level headed, feet on solid ground
I cant believe how quick these years have passed
As these days go by
I never question your love
salvation lies, in the hearts of those who know me
These days go by
things are getting better
I’ll always be by your side
as these days go
as these days go
as these days go by
I swear that I’m okay, things are finally better
I’m happy just to share this day with you.

For What It's Worth
03:20

When you’re young and dumb
you don’t see the future for what it could be
instead you get caught up in your own sense of fear and uncertainty
I’m sorry that I left
tangled entwined together
we got separated and now we lie alone
tangled bound forever
never unite complete for without you, love is gone
At times I often wonder
where we would be right now, if I had stayed
give you the love I promised in the letters I wrote you every day
suppose it’s only natural to question a life we could have made.
tangled entwined together
we got separated and now we lie alone
tangled bound forever
never unite complete for without you, love is gone

The Drifting
03:18

I’m scared to death as I’m paddling out to find peace now
in need of a moment to think
gripping the oars, I cant stop from shaking
praying my vessel wont sink
CAPSIZED! Can you hear my cries?
CAPSIZED! I have been betrayed by that which promised, at birth, to save my life
BREATH IN, feel the water rise
CAPSIZED! Can you hear my cries?
I’m treading water, as panic begins to set in now
I cant seem to right this ship
time drags on, these minutes feel like hours
Solo on this uncharted trip
will I survive this night
have a chance to turn these wrongs to right
this was a humble ship to set sail in
it appears I’m ill equipped
over time I lose my grip and I fall back into the abyss
have I been drifting too far out?
Have I?
have I been drifting too far out?

how many bodies down?
22 left above the ground
and I can’t see what sense this killing makes
been trapped behind those doors
no one knows what, why or for
but we know we’re sick of living with this pain
she screams, why cant you just let me be
she’s sick of living with this hate
and after all of this, what’s left to be afraid of
keep it inside, there’s no where to hide
that’s where it lies, just waiting to be free
keep it inside, there’s no where to hide
bet you thought you’d never see, this monster inside of me
how many bodies down? 30 more left above the ground
and I can’ t see what sense this killing makes
how many lies were told
your silver tongue has taken hold
and there’s no way to cover up this mess you’ve made
he screams, where’s God when all that we see
is death upon our streets
and after all of this, what’s left to be afraid of

Take it Back

yes its green on the other side, that’s how it seen
through the jaded eyes of envy
The sun went down long ago on those days
you turned your back on everything
now you’ve decided that you want to say, those words to me
take it back take it back
it wasn’t yours to give
take it back take it back
I’m not the one
you always want what you cant have and I was always proud to be, the martyr for your cause
But this will be the last time and I wont double back, on that path that leads to nowhere
If you’re planning to light that flame, you can burn alone.
this is a promise to change
cant believe how foolish I have been
traded my heart for a string
but now I am severing these ties

To Catch a Grave Robber
04:17

they deal in algorithmic scripts and double speak
vampires with a smile and a pen
building their castles on graveyards
and feeding off the children being strangled by the hands that feed them
This is ours today
and let it be known we’ve built this
and it is not for sale, we are not for sale
this is ours today
to have is to give
You cant take it away
can’ t be taken away
camera shy
Let the light just steal your soul
(I thought this was what you wanted)
dotted lines, sign your life away
I thought this was what you wanted,
boy smarten up, what are you
camera shy, are you camera shy?
we deal in labors of love
True to ourselves, true to those who have healed us when we were ailing
yes there are the liars and thieves and turncoats in our midst
but we refuse them in our ranks, we are counted as voices not dollars, now hear us
.
I thought this was what you wanted
to fight with a sword and not a pen
but we’re saving a hundred souls a day
thought this was what you wanted
to let the light just steal your soul
but who’s going to show you all your worth
