On the Brink

(Verse 1)
You want to chase your dreams
As unlikely as it seems
The desire to move on
To life and love and far beyond
But the world has a way
Of masking all your hope with shame
It blurs all your lines between right and wrong
But baby you got to sing your song
(Chorus)
It’s not as helpless
Hopeless as you think
Don’t squander your heart
We are always,
Always on the brink
Of falling apart
(Verse 2)
You will lose your way
Every now and again
But, how about today,
You make amends
To your soul and to your mind
You’ve neglected each, but now it’s time
Don't waste another line
(Chorus)
It’s not as helpless
Hopeless as you think
Don’t squander your heart
We are always,
Always on the brink
Of falling apart

Can I Trust You?
04:46
|

|
(A)
When you’re going out
Can I trust you
Are you with your friends
Or someone new
Am I too dumb to see
What’s Right in front of me
Is my anxiety
Creating this reality
(B)
I don’t want to go through your phone
And read every text
What if I hear from your friends
That you still talk to your ex
I don’t want to find out from
The neighbors that it’s true
(A Ch.)
I Just want to know
When I looking to your eyes
And I ask you anything
You won’t tell me lies
(A’)
(A)
When I’m out of town
Can I trust you
Are you waiting for me
Cause I’m waiting for you
Is there something going on
Do I know all the facts
Am I pushing you away
From the trust that I lack
(B)
I don’t want to go through your phone
And read every text
What if I hear from your friends
That you still talk to your ex
What if I assume the worst
And try to get even with you

Won't Be Long
03:23
|

|
It won’t be long before you know me
Finding out things you could only dream
There’s a little lie sitting next to me
Wonder if you’ll ever come take a peak
It won’t be long
Step right up if you dare
Say whatever’s gonna get you there
Don’t worry ‘bout the shape I’m in
It’s been the same since I don’t know when
It won’t be long
Say what you mean cause you know it won’t be
It won’t be long
It all settles out in the ending
So fuck the truth that you’re bending
I don’t care anymore
It won’t be long
Let’s just talk for a minute
What’s the point of being small for just a digit?
Don’t fall for all the hoops and flare
We’re all faking it to see if you stare

Our Way
03:42
|

|
I’ve seen this lie before you know let’s face it
You’ve got your own version of love, I’ll take it
There’s a part of you that tells me so
The truth is there, I can’t let go
Now my phone is filling up with all your pictures
It goes on and on
When I see your face
I fall right out of place
You can’t be replaced
You know there’s no mistake
Come with me tonight
It will be alright
See the morning light
We’re on our way
So it goes on and on
We got a reason now to start all over
Waste no time, we’re only getting older
I don’t know if I could bare
The though of losing you, my dear
Now there’s nothing left to do but chase forever

Wake Up!
04:25
|

|
(Verse 1)
It’s been a long time coming
But it’s news to you
It’s been a long time coming
We’re gonna light the fuse
Cause we can see through your lies now
There’s nothing left you can do
(Verse 2)
We’ll break the facade down
And expose the truth
When we break all your walls down
You’re gonna have to choose
Between real life and fairy tales
(Chorus)
You’ve lost all your control on me
You’re blind, tomorrow you will see
The bridge is gone and washed away
Wake up the news is here to stay
Wake up
(Verse 3)
You don’t know, but it’s over
The revolution’s already begun
You don’t know but it’s over
Concede and drop your guns
When you see the masses coming
You know you’ll have to run
(Verse 4)
There’s no turning back now
The ashes are blowing away
There’s no turning back now
It’s your turn to pay
It’s time to wake up
(Chorus)
You’ve lost all your control on me
You’re blind, tomorrow you will see
The bridge is gone and washed away
Wake up the news is here to stay

Disconnected
04:37
|

|
(Verse 1)
No, you don’t have to be someone else
If you try too hard, you’ll forget yourself
I kind of like you just the way you are
So, don’t go corrupting your thoughts
With something you’re not
(Chorus)
You don’t have to be real with me
But who else do you want to be
You can’t lie to your soul
I tried cause I’m a fool
When you look at yourself
What do you see
(Verse 2)
Live a lie all your life
So that you never die
Then, one day, you’ll realize
You were never alive
I’ve been there before
I was all the way gone
But now I found myself
So I can move on
(Chorus)
You don’t have to be real with me
But who else do you want to be
You can’t lie to your soul
I tried cause I’m a fool
When you look at yourself
What do you see
Do you like it
You can be your own worst enemy
Disconnected from identity
Underlying cause of apathy
Well you can fake it
Don’t fake it
When everything is fake
(Chorus)
You don’t have to be real with me
But who else do you want to be
You can’t lie to your soul
I tried cause I’m a fool
When you look at yourself
What do you see
(Outro)
Well you can fake it
Yeah fake it
Well don’t fake it
When everything is fake
Everything is fake

BLOW ME UP
06:03
|

|
Why do we hate each other
You don't even know me
Why do we hate each other
But you want to show me
Why we should hate each other
You don't even know me
Why do we hate each other
But you want to blow me up
You don't know me
And I see no reason
You'd wish to cause me harm
Now, sitting here
At this airport
They're sounding the alarm
It's okay
You don't think just like me
That's no reason
We can't let each other be
Live in harmony
Why do we hate each other
You don't even know me
Why do we hate each other
But you want to show me
Why we should hate each other
You don't even know me
Why do we hate each other
But you want to blow me up
Another day
On the job
Just a typical traffic stop
I ask for license
Registration
But he's reaching for a glock
Oh God
Is this how it's gotta be
Never thought I'd do it
It was either him or me
I hope you see
Why do we hate each other
You don't even know me
Why do we hate each other
But you want to show me
Why we should hate each other
You don't even know me
Why do we hate each other
But you want to blow me up

Scrapin'
04:44

|
(Verse 1)
Hey, wait
I said I’d do it today
Take the time to follow the line
To where I’d like to be
They said, “Dream Big”
But who’s got time for sleeping
We’ve got bills and mouths
To pay and Feed
We’re on just on repeat
(Chorus)
It’s alright
Take your time
Seize it back
Along with your mind
It’s alright
You know we’re all just scraping by
You know we’re all just scraping by
(Verse 2)
Late again, it’s the same routine
Should’ve been out an hour ago
Should’ve put down the screen
Can’t waste one beat more
Won’t let another chance
Walk out the door
Cause you know
(Chorus)
It’s alright
Take your time
Seize it back
Along with your mind
It’s alright
You know we’re all just scraping by
You know we’re all just scraping by
(Verse 3)
We’re all just staring at the clock on the wall
Trying to stop it, and it makes no sense at all
Time keeps on ticking
And we’re losing the hands
(Chorus)
It’s alright
Take your time
Seize it back
Along with your mind
It’s alright
You know we’re all just scraping by
You know we’re all just scraping by
(Outro)
It’s alright
Take your time
Seize it back
Along with your mind

Keep Your Head Up
05:31

Seems every time
I’m feelin’ down
Another string of bad luck
You know its comin’ around
And every time
I’m feelin’ blue
I just need one reminder baby here’s lookin’ at you
I said darlin’ keep your head up
It’s gonna get worse before it gets better
That’s just life
You wake up Sunday morning
It’s just another day
Don’t know if no one loves you
Just got some bills to pay
Back into work tomorrow
Another 9-5
It feels like work’s the only reason your even alive
I said darlin’ keep your head up
It’s gonna get worse before it gets better
That’s just life (x2)
So much hierarchy in society
And yet we don’t make a sound
So accepting of our predestined fate
We’re monetarily bound
A leach unto the Earth
We spread like locusts taking over our ground
The only thing left I can feel
Is Satan pulling me down
You’re pullin me down (x5)
You’re pullin me down down down ohhhhhh
I said darlin keep your head up
It’s gonna get worse before it gets better
That’s just life (x3)
