Verse 1
I’m tired stop telling me what’s right and wrong
Start listening to this song, it’ll tell you my thoughts
If you would just shut up about my faults
One step to the left, two steps to the right
All we do is fight and I’m tired, tired of your voice right now
Just take a moment and quiet it down
And the best part is you can’t even be civil
It’s simple, nothing like a riddle
And that’s what you’re making it out to be
Making it seem like it’s me
Like there’s no other possibility
It’s me I’m wrong all along
Chorus
Its water underneath the bridge
Here I am walking over it
Looking towards what in store
You’re not my handcuffs anymore
Verse 2
I’ll let you feel taller then me
If it makes you stop arguing
I swear it’s like talking to a brick wall
And not one piece of you will fall
To see the light on the other side
So your words and mine can collide
Coincide, exist separately
Can’t we just agree to disagree
Can’t you see how much you have changed?
We’ve ruined what we have made, Oh
And it’s cause you’re stubborn as a two ton stone
I’m done, I swear leave me alone, then again can you call me on the phone?

In It For Life
04:34
|

|
Its must be hard not being us
We picked each other up and cleared the rust
Yeah give us a moment and we’ll be fine
This world was too dark for our liking
So we took a match and lit it on fire
If you say you don’t like us you’re a liar
We cruise all across the nation
Like it’s our occupation
I wont leave without a fight
Chorus
Look around at this dark room,
Everyone here isn’t leaving no time soon
Cause we’re in it for life
Verse 2
We’ll fight till the end if we must
We took a stand, and shed the dust
I know you lie, when you say you’re fine
With skin that is as thick as thieves
We’d sail across the seven seas
Just to be together again
One step, at a time
This is light that we shine
This fires never gonna go out
Bridge
And this past year and half has been the best I’ve ever had
Im no Bruno Mars but Id take a bullet for you, for you

Gone To The Dogs
03:15
|
|||
|
Verse 1
This world has gone to the dogs
Who are we, after all
Families broken, our souls are lost and torn
Morals are shaken, is this the new brave world?
Then I don’t want to live here
No I don’t want to live here
Chorus
And what happened all we need is love
And what happened to our one God above
We started to live for ourselves, no one else
This world is living for itself and no one else
Verse 2
This society will be the death of me
Pointing, waiting for who they want us to be
Spend all day working for a wage, it’s got me in a haze

Status Quo
03:24

|
Verse 1
Each day I swear it gets harder
Heavy steps, do you know how much farther?
We have until we reach the promise land? No?
Pretty wrists are wasted in this culture
I ask again just how much farther
Until this pain stops.
Chorus
Oh, Oh, Oh
You’re not alone on this road
Oh, Oh, Oh
Im telling you now don’t follow the status quo
It’ll be the death of you
What I say is true
Verse 2
Heart fell to the ground in pieces
Tell me what real love is
Death on a cross
On your knees looking at the ground
Tell me what have you found
You should be looking up
Verse 3
Blank stares, better count your prayers
Just so you know, love only comes in layers
Take a glance at the sun see the one who loves you
Im not gonna stop till its get through, its true
Just make some room in that heart of yours
Open up the doors

your time isn’t done
It’s still you that I love
Spread your wings and fly
My sweet angel, in the sky
You deserve nothing but the best
You were better then, all the rest
But why, but why
We still need you here
Chorus
Not it’s not something simple
We are not just ordinary people
The clouds of heaven hold you in their arms
Verse 2
It seemed like just yesterday
We were standing here face to face
And suddenly, suddenly you’re gone
I sometimes hate this life
But if you were here I wouldn’t compromise
If there was anything I could do to just bring you back
Anything I could do, to just see your face one last
Time
When the moon shines this bright
I know it’s you who’s behind it

These Temple Walls
04:07
|
|||
|
I see light
Coming over the skyline
I see hope
Hovering over you and me
Tonight I understand
The consequence of following
The one and only king
I see it tonight
No it’s no fun to blend in
It’s no fun living like you are
Like you are, like you are
No it’s no fun singing
A different tune then what’s within
Open the gates, this is the place
This is the place, this is His place
I wanna proclaim with my skin
Make em wonder what’s within
God would want us to
Paint the walls of this temple
Show the world his Love isn’t simple
I wanna scream the top of my lungs
Tell everyone like a good joke
This isn’t a hoax, this isn’t a hoax
I wanna make the earth shake
I wanna feel your warm embrace
I wanna show them that you're alive
Spit some rhymes to make up time
I wanna let your glory shine
Let your glory shine
Crack the darkness
Cure the hopeless
Give hearts to the heartless

Shark Tank
02:27
|
|||
|
Verse 1
How’s your new life treating you?
Those friends since we’ve through?
I know we grow older
But out promises still stand
And when the going you ran
To God knows where, I don’t know where
Chorus
I would have been without you
And what you put me through
This is thanks to that shark tank
That you threw me in
and if it weren’t for That, I wouldn’t know how to swim
By myself, no one else I’ll give it all I got
Until you understand, that this ones for you
And what you put me through
Verse 2
Stop calling my friends, end, that means done
Its over, you’ve lost
No I don’t wanna talk to you, what have they gotten tired of you to?
I guess I can see why, you’d rather fit in and cry
I should’ve known better, best friends always end
Forever is over
I guess I don’t know where

The Last Song
06:57
|
|||
|
Verse 1
They stare at the mirror
Realize they don’t like what they see
This isn’t me, this isn’t me
They look themselves in the eye
Where is the me I left behind, I left behind, I left behind
Chorus
They, they never said
That it would be easy
But they never said
It would be this hard
Beaten down and broken
to almost nothing
I’m here to pick up the pieces, pieces, pieces, pieces, pieces, pieces, pieces of me
Verse 2
Day by Day, it gets harder
More overwhelming
Just an everlasting hour
The clock changes but I still feel the same
Stuck in this place, stuck in this place
When will it end, is this the end?
When will it end, is this the end?
