I’m sick of all my days feeling like a roller-coaster
It’s driving me insane
My head is wrapped up with stress and regret
For things I don’t quite get yet
So would you slow it down
I’m sorry but I’m asking you to just spell it out
So I can understand
I’ll take the high road home
I’ll leave you there to yell out alone
At this point nothing makes much sense
If you don’t mind, I’ll be back when this ends
I’ve been feeling pressure from everything around me
It’s hard to juggle life and love when both are so consuming
I wish I could be the one that you want me to be
But unfortunately it’s never that easy
I’ll take the high road home
Leave you there to yell out alone
At this point nothing makes much sense
If you don’t mind, ill be back when this ends
I’ll take the high road
I will leave you hear on your own
If you keep pushing, I swear I’ll fall away
Underneath it all just fickle thoughts provoke us
Hey whats the point of love?
If we aren’t free to be the person we’re meant to be
Love should set us free
I’ve been waiting my whole life to leave a mark
I know I’m meant for something and I want you to be a part
of the dreams in my head and this vision that I have
Eleven
Let me first start off by saying how hard it’s been to get this out
We’ve been reckless (living like they’ve asked us)
We just plug in and tune the rest out
I’ve got dreams that are bursting from the seams
But sometimes forget them amidst the guise of marketing
(Call the masses and ask them if they’re happy)
Refunds and reruns blur our hopes out
This is my hope for the hopeless
That you will dream with unbreakable force
We are the ones who’re always forgotten
We will shake their bones
Rest your weary head, clear your eyes and see
That the truth is in the lies, if only we could focus our eyes to see
(Come on, come on)
Say what you need to say you know it’s better out anways
(Come on, come on)
Say what you need to say
(Come on, come on)
Do what you’re born to do
You’re the only one that’s stopping you
(Come on, come on)
Do what you’re born to do
This is my hope for the hopeless
That you will dream with unbreakable force
We are the ones who’re always forgotten
We will shake their bones
This is a cry for a new beginning
As we shake off the dust and search for a meaning
Because im sick of the time I’ve wasted
We will shake their bones
I believe in a hope that surrounds me
Without it I don’t know where I’d be
I’ve learned that nothing in life is free
(I wish I could find a path laid before me
the past, present, and what will come to be
I’ve learned that life drags you by your feet)
We will shake their bones
Burned Away
I’ve got this feeling in my head and I swear it started in my lungs
I’m sure you’ve heard it all before but its nice to meet someone who wont run
I know I’m still rough around the edges, I’m polished but not perfected
As I stand in this fire, let it fuel my desires, and burn my impurities
Tell me love what’s a boy to do?
The world is waiting, I can see it in my view
My fingers cling to the threads of my doubt patched on truth
My fears have been aired out
So what’s it all about?
I’ll be the one to prove that I’m the exception and not the rule
Hold your hands just high enough to cover your eyes
Cause once the smoke clears it reveals what you hide inside
A little boy age of 23
No where to go as the debt collectors come to find me
I wish security came with my degree
Instead it hangs here aimlessly
When I fall I fall hard
When I go for it I go for it with my all
You’re not gonna break me
You’re not gonna take me down that easy
Tell me love what’s a boy to do?
The world is waiting, I can see it in my view
My fingers cling to the threads of my doubt patched on truth
My fears have been aired out
So what’s it all about?
I’ll be the one to prove that I’m the exception
The flames are getting higher
My worries have burned away in the fire
You’re not gonna break me
I’m not going down that easy
Take.Create.Revive
I woke up this morning with the sun in my eyes
The sky was spotless I grabbed my keys; it’s time for a drive
My minds been heavy and the time feels right for a mid-week holiday
This road is lonely and it’s meant for two
I’m gonna swing by just to see what you’re up to
You said you had to head to work real soon
So I thought of an excuse for you to use
I could tell you were worried but I looked dead in your eyes and I smiled
Sometimes chances need to be taken
Sometimes the norm is meant to be shaken
We are young and proof our generation’s alive
Grab your phone, lets take a picture
This is a day I’m gonna wanna remember
Just me and the one I love
You give me clarity when im lost
Stay close baby cause with you I feel like home
My worried heart always seems to convince my head that it’s missing
So I’ll shoot up a flare so you’ll know
That I need some understanding and a little more hope
So these waves won’t take me under and i will ride them the whole way home
If I ask you will you always remind me
Of the time I first told you of my dreams and how they drive me
Its been a while since I’ve felt worth this pure
Damn, thats for sure.
Stay close baby cause with you I feel like home
My worried heart always seems to convince my head that it’s missing
So I’ll shoot up a flare so you’ll know
That I need some understanding and a little more hope
So these waves won’t take me under and i will ride them
I had this notion and it’s taking root in me
The idea is growing like a tree
Revival is coming through you and me
So take a look at yourself, look whats inside
Is there something you’re missing or want to define
Define the world you see
take.create.revive
Breathe the breath of life
Take what is broken
Bring it to life
