So many reasons to keep moving on
But I need someone to help me along
My motivation is not to be found
Don’t wanna get up, just let me be down
So many reasons for me to wake up
So many reasons to not give a fuck
Life without you is as bad as it gets
Can’t get you out of my head
So many days I’m just eating junk
Gotta do something that doesn’t suck
On autopilot is no way to live
I know that I am better than this
So many nights that I spend alone
Staring at darkness and holding my phone
You probably don’t give me a thought
But thinking is all I’ve got

Falling Flat

Where the sidewalk meets the grass
Is such a perfect place to stand
I can see the setting sun
And feel your fingers on my hand
But the magic is all gone now
Cause you’re gone and far away
But I still watch the setting sun
And I live another day
Don’t ask me why
I fight
With my own mind
To stay alive
But as I try
To survive
I’m falling flat on my face
It happens every day
But as I fight
With time
And my own mind
To stay alive
And as I try
To survive
I’m falling flat on my face
But yet I know that one day I will thrive
I stroll around the city streets
Wondering where I can go
But I get so overwhelmed
That I just wanna go home
The sun beats down on my body
And I’m burnin’ up so fast
The sweat trickles down my face
But I can’t wait to take a bath
There’s so many nooks and crannies
In the sprawling metroplex
And there’s tons of tall towers
Where the rich folks all have sex
Everybody’s looking at me
Everything is closing in
I gotta take a couple hits
So that I don’t panic again(x3)
Don’t ask me why
I fight
With my own mind
To stay alive
But as I try
To survive
I’m falling flat on my face
It happens every day
But as I fight
With time
And my own mind
To stay alive
And as I try
To survive
I’m falling flat on my face
But yet I know that one day I will thrive

Sordid Affairs

Looking in your eyes and picking up vibes
Tonight can be whatever we want to and it’s time
So, come along with me and you will see
Just what I have in mind
Losing track of time is our paradigm
We don’t have to worry about it, never mind
I just wanna say that we’re on our way
To our own paradise
It’s almost like a dare; these sordid affairs
The door is locked so we’re alone and we don’t care
If the neighbors hear what’s happenin’ here
We’re doing what feels right and we have no fear
So hold me in your arms; I’ll do ya no harm
We’ll stay like this all year
Looking in your eyes and picking up vibes
Tonight can be whatever we want to and it’s time
So, come along with me and you will see
Just what I have in mind
Always gonna try to be satisfied
Things will turn out right if you’ll be mine
Losing track of time is our paradigm
We don’t have to worry about it, never mind
I just wanna say that we’re on our way
To our own paradise
So many reasons to keep movin’ on
So many reasons to keep singing songs
All that I want is a break from my head
Looking in your eyes and picking up vibes
Tonight can be whatever we want to and it’s time
So, come along with me and you will see
Just what I have in mind
Losing track of time is our paradigm
We don’t have to worry about it, never mind
I just wanna say that we’re on our way
To our own paradise

So many nights I pour up a drink
Convinced that I’m past it but it’s all I think
Life isn’t easy, and I know that well
I’m just living a personal hell
I need to get out and be by myself
Spend some time on my mental health
One day I’ll make it and I’ll be just fine
But not in the mean time

Whenever I met you
We knew things would all go well
You were the only one
To keep me from my hell
But
Now that I’m leaving
I’ll miss all the times we’ve had
I always count on you
when you were all I had
Please don’t forget me
I’ve gotta move away
I’m starting a new life
And I’m leaving today
I hope you’re happy
When life starts to get you down
I know you’ll make it
So just wait it out
Please don’t forget me
I’ve gotta move away
I’m starting a new life
And I’m leaving today
And
I hope you’re happy
When life starts to get you down
I know you’ll make it
So just wait it out

A Stolen Watch

I never wanted to see you cry
And when I see your tears then you see mine
I didn’t think that it would be so tough
To pack my bags and say “that’s enough”
And you might be scared
But I’m not prepared
To do what is fair
Every time I look into your eyes
I see your joy and it makes me die inside
You didn’t know the harm you’d done
When you told me that my love was not enough
And it might seem bleak
To live without me
You’ll do what is right
And in the darkest nights I spent alone
I thought so long about calling up your phone
And telling you the things I needed to say
But you wouldn’t give me the time of day
So take your time
And I’ll take mine
Got lots on my mind
Take your time

Looking on the bright side of things can make you go blind
But you’re still in the back of my mind
And I just can’t seem to figure out
What everybody’s talking about
But as long as I keep my head up high
I won’t have to lock myself up tonight
And as long as I keep on keepin’ on
I can live my life with optimism
Looking on the bright side of things can make you go blind
But you’re still in the back of my mind
And I just can’t seem to figure out
What the hell everybody’s talking about
But as long as I keep my head up high
I won’t have to lock myself in tonight
And as long as I keep on keepin’ on
I can live my life with optimism
And I know I won’t forget you
Because I live in that night I met you
But as long as I keep my head up high
I won’t have to lock myself in tonight
And as long as I keep on keepin’ on
I can live my life with optimism
Looking on the bright side of things can make you go blind
But you’re still in the back of my mind
And I just can’t seem to figure out
What everybody’s talking about

It may seem like movin’ on’s a crime
Your hardest times not hard to find
You need someone by your side
But when everybody leaves it’s hard
To feel in charge in your own backyard
And we might never be the same
But who’s to place the blame?
I think it’s gonna be a bright day
When I can say
I feel okay
I think it’s gonna be a long time
Til I can find
Some peace of mind
Sometimes it seems that life is strange
All the change can make you deranged
But if I’m still standing here somehow
Then I don’t doubt I’ll figure it out
I think it’s gonna be a bright day
When I can say
I feel okay
I think it’s gonna be a long time
Til I can find
Some peace of mind
And we might never be the same
But who’s to place the blame?
