~Verse~ He’s got a reason why he's staying overnight. He’s got to answer. I’m like, always so tight. I still don’t answer. I’m like, don’t even try. He’s still uneven. I’m like, welcome to life, welcome to life. ~Verse~ I’m still a no one, but he's still pass the mic. I’m really open, while he’s saying no to kites. He’s really tired, and I don’t know to fight. I don’t really know him, but he’s a good friend of mine. Welcome to life. (Welcome to life, yeah. Welcome to life. Welcome to life, yeah.) ~Bridge~ And I swear it’s up to you to say my name. And I swear it’s up to you to say my name. And I swear it’s up to you to say my name. And I swear it’s up to you to say my name. And I swear it’s up to you to say my name.

~Verse~ They want it all the time. Never breaking our minds. Life hands us over time. We’re tired of being alive. Always saying we’re fine. Deep inside I’m melting right. I don’t think I can go no more. I’m so stressed there’s flashing lights. ~Verse~ They want it all the time. Never breaking our minds. Life hands us over time. We’re tired of being alive. Always saying we’re fine. Deep inside I’m melting right. I don’t think I can go no more. I’m so stressed there’s flashing lights. ~Chorus~ There’s nothing we can do. All we know we’re being used. Trying hard to feed my love. Only serving half a cup. There’s nothing we can do. All we know we’re being used. Trying hard to feed my love. Only serving half a cup.

Earth Sick 05:34
lyrics

~Verse~ You don’t want any part of this. I don’t blame you for the miss. Our people are clueless. Can’t you tell our Earth sick. ~Pre-Chorus~ Slowly time ticks by. People are wondering why. While the air is thinning out. As our waters begin to mound. ~Verse~ There are so many things to hide.  No one will give their time alright. Still fuming out the skies. Mars now lives a common life. ~Pre-Chorus~ Slowly time ticks by.  People are wondering why. While the air is thinning out. As our waters begin to mound. ~Chorus~ You rather sit at home, then really help us all and say “It’s alright.” If mother can’t stand at all, then we all die and crawl, then it’s your fault. You rather sit at home, than really help us all and say “It’s alright.” If mother can’t stand at all, then we all die and crawl, then it’s your fault. ~Chorus~ You rather sit at home, then really help us all and say “It’s alright.” If mother can’t stand at all, then we all die and crawl, then it’s your fault. You rather sit at home, than really help us all and say “It’s alright.” If mother can’t stand at all, then we all die and crawl, then it’s your fault.

~Verse~ Is it me or is it you that’s keeping me woken. Don’t even know where to start. You and I are bleeding from the inside out. Tell me how this all starts. ~Chorus~ Don’t forget this is us coming round in your house. We are here. Make the shout. Don’t forget this is us coming round in your house. We are here. Make the shout. ~Verse~ Standing alone in the sun, I think it’s fun. Can’t you tell we are different. Standing tall all at once, make us known. Can’t you tell that we are here. ~Chorus~ Don’t forget this is us coming round in your house. We are here. Make the shout. Don’t forget this is us coming round in your house. We are here. Make the shout. ~Chorus~ Don’t forget this is us coming round in your house. We are here. Make the shout. Don’t forget this is us coming round in your house. We are here. Make the shout.

All This Time 06:01

~Verse~ People say I’m just a kid with a heart but no soul. Some of us are weak and some of us hang low. As the days go by, we get a little wiser. But there’s nothing to lose, we keep pushing harder. ~Pre-Chorus~ I rather wash away and forget all my terms. So we say we learned a bit, and we all came up, it’s a lie. All this time. ~Chorus~ This is what they’ve been hiding, been saying, all getting fooled now. We as people been fighting, real violent, can’t rely now. This is what they’ve been hiding, been saying, all getting fooled now. We as people been fighting, real violent, can’t rely now. Oh. ~Bridge~ All believe in some things, only one controls immunes.  All believe in some things, only one controls immunes.  All believe in some things, only one controls immunes.  And we seek, and we find what’s right. And we seek, and we find what’s right. ~Pre-Chorus~ I rather wash away and forget all my terms. So we say we learned a bit, and we all came up, it’s a lie. All this time. ~Chorus~ This is what they’ve been hiding, been saying, all getting fooled now. We as people been fighting, real violent, can’t rely now. This is what they’ve been hiding, been saying, all getting fooled now. We as people been fighting, real violent, can’t rely now. Oh. All this time. Oh.

~Verse~ I’m here to say to you, I’m sorry. Can I fix that precious broken heartache? Or, would you like to leave me hopeless? And to think about all the trust importance.  ~Chorus~ All the trust has swept away from you. All the love has swept away from you. All the trust has swept away from you. All the love has swept away from you. ~Verse~ It may be tough to figure out my lies. Everyday I’m woken up with a fight. Or, would you like to leave me hopeless? And to think about all the trust importance. ~Chorus~ All the trust has swept away from you. All the love has swept away from you. All the trust has swept away from you. All the love has swept away from you. From you. ~Chorus~ All the trust has swept away from you. All the love has swept away from you. All the trust has swept away from you. All the love has swept away from you.

Make Friends 04:31

~Verse~ I have endless bad weeks and then there’s nothing I can send. When I get home, I try to wake up. Start to notice open, close. Then you ask me what is wrong. I have to say, it’s hard to make friends, make friends. ~Chorus~ I thought for sure I had it all. Day by day man we hit it off. Right times starts to grow thin. Then it all goes up into the wind and blows away. ~Verse~ I am tired of having thoughts. Tell me one thing I am not. Is there something that's keeping me back? Start to notice open, close. Then you ask me what is wrong. I have to say, it’s hard to make friends, make friends. ~Chorus~ I thought for sure I had it all. Day by day man we hit it off. Right times starts to grow thin. Then it all goes up into the wind and blows away.

Hard Times 02:58
lyrics

~Verse~ I try to make them up and play inside my head. It didn’t come out and turn the way I promised it said. Talk it up and find new hearts, then you find out they’re dead. Living down, moving on, try to shake out her led. ~Bridge~ I’m trying to do better. But it don’t go in my favor. There is no way out. I’m forever stuck my love. ~Verse~ I try to make them up and play inside my head. It didn’t come out and turn the way I promised it said. My addiction has gone too far. Now I’m overdosing. Begging daily. Need some more. Ain’t here for the lasting anymore. Anymore.  ~Verse~ I try to make them up and play inside my head. It didn’t come out and turn the way I promised it said.

The Year 2020 05:16
lyrics

~Verse~ It pains me to think all we do is fight back. People around you are upset, also scared that you will snap. Everyone is getting hit, taking waves by the storm. All too stubborn to admit, sooner or later leaves a hole. ~Pre-Chorus~ All I want it there to be a little peace for a man. Can we gather round and see this is us at the end. Let’s take it. ~Chorus~ We need that change that takes away the anger. We need to grow and learn to love each other. No need to fight and yell, I hate you brother. We need that change. We need that change. We need that change. ~Verse~ What we don’t understand that we keep going down. We’re trying to do our best, keeps it all and repeats itself. From what we haven’t learned just yet, it’s in a liar’s cell. Ohhh, we’re in hell. Taking waves by the storm. ~Pre-Chorus~ All I want it there to be a little peace for a man. Can we gather round and see this is us at the end. Ohhh, let’s take it. ~Chorus~ We need that change that takes away the anger. We need to grow and learn to love each other. No need to fight and yell, I hate you brother. We need that change. We need that change. We need that change. We need that change. We need that change.

~Verse~ It’s okay. I don’t mind you going on your own. Ohhh Ohhh Call me insane. Selling me to the ones who want it most. Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh ~Verse~ Hustling, trading goods for the drug that you think heals you. It destroys you. Puncturing, getting high at the place I call paradise. A desire. A desire. Ohhh ~Chorus~ Everyday, it’s hard enough to satisfy you. Everyday, it’s hard enough to satisfy you. Everyday, it’s hard enough to satisfy you. Everyday, it’s hard enough to satisfy you.

~Verse~ There is a light ahead for you, my love. Which means you just go with your gut. Follow your dreams and don’t give up. Work hard, behave, but don’t cut them off. ~Chorus~ Just know it’s all for a reason, we don’t know. Just know it’s all for a reason, we don't know. ~Verse~ Confused and young, it happens to all. Let me help you walk through this dark. The light ahead is where you start. So long my friend as we come apart. ~Chorus~ Just know it’s all for a reason, we don’t know. Just know it’s all for a reason, we don't know. Just know it’s all for a reason, we don’t know. Just know it’s all for a reason, we don't know.
