Oh my god, oh my god, won't you get out my way? I'm on my way to lake to the bay to stimulate my brain And I don't care what you say or the tone you take I've got a one track mind, tell me what can I say I can't help myself from hitting repeat Cause I like the catchy lyrics and the funky beat I write unholy scriptures with a bleeding pen I sailed around the world to Eden now I'm back again (Look out!) Oh my god, oh my god, I'm gonna be late Did my alarm clock fail or was it in a daze That I hit the snooze button about thirteen times I pull on a dirty t-shirt now it's back to the grind And for eight waking hours I will ask myself What is this dreary cycle doing for my mental health One day I'll sport the courage to spread my wings With my baby by my side conquer the seven seas (Look out!) Oh my god, oh my god, where did you stash that bag? I knew we had it coming when I saw his lights flash "License, registration, where are the drugs? I already hate my own life, yours could use some fuckin' up" Tried to do myself a favor, be polite to the pig "Hello officer," he said "Cut that shit. You break the sovereign law this is what you get." While I smell the Irish whiskey reeking up his breath (Look out!)

Help Me Up 08:10
Won't somebody help me up, cause I seem to be drowning off in this cup Of shame and regret and 99 cent tea, and a shot from the bottle of my dads whiskey I stole this morning to share with my 'friends', though they never paid me nor the consequence Can't find a good reason in retrospect, blame it on being young and stupid I guess And I wasted so much time, bullshitting myself and living a lie I'm truly happy this is where I belong, you can't solve no problems by writing a song So let's get fucked up and all hang around, cause the truth's hard to swallow, burns all the way down But the gin goes smoothly and helps me forget Another shot for every second guess I look out and see all that I can be, or at least all the things I wish I could Like the birds flying up over me, I swear I hear them laughing in between each song "Look at that fool down on the ground, wishing he was where we are. If he only knew how bad, I wish I could play the guitar" See, perception is a funny thing, no matter how you look at it We all want something we can't have, but I guess that's not really that bad Spread your wings and learn to fly, or break your legs in the process when you try If fall down I will pick you up, because I know how it feels to feel like giving up Yeah, if you fall down I will pick you up, because I know how it feels to feel like giving up If you fall down I will pick you up, because I know how it feels to feel fucked

I don't believe in the apocalypse I don't believe in the end of time I don't believe in the solar eclipse I don't believe in valentines I don't believe I asked opinion I don't believe I stretched the truth I am not looking for a bargain All I really believe in is you I don't believe in everything I've read I don't believe in promises I don't believe in compromising My own beliefs inside my head I don't believe I asked opinion I don't believe I stretched the truth I am not looking for a bargain All I really believe in is you I don't believe I asked opinion I don't believe I stretched the truth I am not looking for a bargain All I really believe in is you

Step up now and I take my place Just a nameless face joining in the race Make it through the motions never ask what it's worth Just another speck of earth, this big ball of dirt Like a grain of sand coating salty wet feet Where I belong on a suburban beach But get dyed by toxins and locked in a jar And held up on a shelf, now they can call me art The oceans tides are ruled by the moon So are the wolves and so are me and you Tell me what's the difference between beast and men We are the same but we like to pretend We're not hopeless trekking through foreign land It's all a part of someone's master plan All the answers will be revealed with time Or they're all around if you'd just open your mind Everybody's searching for a reason to live Wanna settle down with a with a kids But you must first to love yourself Do this favor for mental health Cause you'll say you're okay but it still breaks your heart Though you truly knew how it would end from the start Guess that's the price you pay for a little more love Enough to last you til the sun comes up

Tell Me Why 05:24
Tell me why, do I think with half my brain most of the time And none of it the rest? I'll tell you why, I can't ignore this pain that's in my chest More specifically my heart I sit on by, and watch it fall apart, it's all my fault I'm not the man I was, I'm fucking up Tell me why, do I sit around and waste all of my time Allowing myself to fall behind, In every single aspect of my life? Where's my aspiration? Where's my drive? Well, I smoked it all away I suppose The song goes on and on, and it goes... Who am I, to ever go and tell you a lie? You deserve the very best out of this life And you know I never went to go and make you cry It eats away at my soul every time And I know I broke some promise, but I'm still here today So come a little close girl, I've got one thing left to say Let me take you by the hand, don't look the other way Cause you know that what we have is real and will not fade away (Not Fade Away) The song goes on and on, and it goes...
