Battle Royal 02:30
It's like a fist fight at night battle royal timed just right And if you play nice then you just might find just might find I I've never been right never listened to anyone's advice I'm just a dumb kid hit me in the face again so I can feel something. Round 10 I'm on the ground again I can't win I think it's in my head Towels in I'm losing this fight It's getting hard to pretend And now he's hitting me blood in my eye makes it hard to see He looks like me hazel eyes crooked teeth broken nose weird feet With every hit he takes he smiles just a little bit just enough to say There's no way you'll be okay okay today no way

Insanity 03:04
People always walking down the street They stop and take a minute And take a selfie Slap the phone right out of their hands And then explain to them To take a look around and see What they're missing is beautiful and the people, the trees and the sights they will never see matter more than the web ever will and they should all just stop One day it'll all be gone and they'll miss and they'll bitch and complain and moan and I'll shrug and I'll shake my head and try to pretend to listen to them Insanity insanity, oh the humanity We've lost our vanity it's getting hard to see What we call reality is not what is on TV I think I'm going crazy my eyes are gonna fucking bleed! Insanity insanity, oh the humanity I'm losing hope and as far as I can see nothing is changing the same old story It's getting boring so damn deploring Politicians are taking our taxes and taking vacations and living the life of their dreams Meanwhile the people are starving and sleeping and begging and killing each other in streets I'm kinda thinking there's something that's wrong here Maybe we should steer our thoughts to a different place Take a second to let that sink in and realize that we're all doomed in this place Insanity insanity, oh the humanity We've lost our vanity it's getting hard to see What we call reality is not what is on TV I think I'm going crazy my eyes are gonna fucking bleed! Insanity insanity, oh the humanity I'm losing hope and as far as I can see nothing is changing the same old story It's getting boring so damn deploring

You say that life goes on you don't the best of it Life floats on so fuck all the rest of it Take a chance and learn what you can from it Fall in love forget all the bullshit Ms. Blue Shoes, I'm in love with you And you, don't even know my name With your long blonde hair and that look in your eyes Don't give a fuck about all the other guys You are mine, no hello's or goodbyes We'll be just fine Ms. Blue Shoes, I'm in love with you And you, don't even know my name

I'll Be Fine 03:01
She looks at me I already know what's wrong It's a look that I have dreaded for so long She utters the words you're not what I need you to be You don't provide all you do is lie what we have is useless to me I'll be fine ( she tells me that ) I'll be fine ( maybe she's right ) I'll be fine ( she tells me that ) I'll be fine ( we'll tell with time) I'm sorry that I wasn't what you needed I just hope he has the decency to see it We spent more than just the past few years wondering what we could be You can't decide you changed your mind and soon we'll be a memory I'll be fine ( she tells me that ) I'lll be fine (maybe she's right ) I'll be fine (she tells me that ) I'll be fine ( we'll tell with time )

And she said, I dont wanna go home Can we just stay here? I don't wanna be alone Cause you calm down my mind Help me sleep at night But she's the dark and I need the light And I tried to fix this place And I teased forever It was a lonely summer without you with me And I tried to hold on But I just wasn't strong enough Now I'm begging for the end And she said He means nothing to me, but it's easy to see That she see's him differently Cause that spark in her eyes, just isn't as bright When he's standing next to me, it's fucking driving me crazy And I tried to fix this place And I teased forever It was a lonely summer without you with me And I tried to hold on But I just wasn't strong enough Now I'm begging for the end I'm losing track of the lies that you led all the shit that you said I'm deciphering inside of my head It's getting hard to move past this I'm restless But I've been trying my best

Rich 03:02
Well I wish I was rich I guess it'd be pretty cool To have lots of chicks hanging around the pool Well I'd like to be famous I could probably sign some boobs I'd probably know Jay-Z and some other cool rappers too If you have lots of money than you better give some to me I'm just a broke kid playing tunes just to buy some food and weed. And all my problems could be solved with just a little bit more money. Until then I'll play these songs and I'll write my own story. Well I wish I was rich I'd buy a shit ton of cars To drive to Vegas, and hop a couple bars Yeah I think I'd go drinking With a couple of my friends We'd probably go streaking, we'll be drunk and throwing benjamins

The way she slides off her dress it really turns me on I've only gotten here once so I wont last long I'm kinda nervous how will I take off her bra? I'll twist and turn till it breaks or she takes control I'm getting nervous I think that I might explode She slips her hand down my pants and the feeling goes I think I'm doing it right but I might be wrong This feeling's feeling so right so we move along I unbutton her pants and slip off her thong Then I hear a door open my boners gone I hear a voice and it sounds kinda like her mom My wildest dreams only wish that she sings along

Someday 03:21
A tidal wave of discomposure Thoughts of her face wreak havoc on my brain One day I held her hand and the next it was over I dreamt of someday that would never come A hint of misery through a ballpoint pen Keeping track of the countless nights I spend Running circles again and again in my head These sleepless nights will never end And her voice it screams out and it echos I taste her lips and it gets hard to swallow I guess we couldn't hold on til tomorrow. The way her hair laid on her shoulder Her pretty eyes would glisten back in mine One day I kissed her lips and the next it was over I could have held her hand til the end of time I'm taking back all the words I said to you And the hell I put you through, was it worth it? I'm sorry for all the songs I'll write to you. And all the stress I caused for you. I need to know, was it worth it?

I'm always worried about the things that shouldn't matter I can promise that I won't sleep much tonight I'll stay awake and I'll toss and turn and check my phone Just to make sure she's alright But that wont help me cause my brain is fucking scattered Lost the part of me that made me feel alive

Memories 03:01
We'll laugh about the times we got kicked out of school for fights we probably caused cause we thought we were cool Tim got punched in the face because he wouldn't move I probably should've stopped him but I was too afraid to Some friends will last you forever, pictures will hold us together These times will pass us by, faster than the light in our eyes Love hard and live life together, some friends will not last forever These times will pass us by, but they'll leave their memories behind We'll laugh about the times we got shot down by girls That were out of our league, god damn we were naive They'd laugh about our hair, they'd point straight at our jeans But we'd still push so hard, because they made it hard to breathe Those days are so far gone ( times changing we're all changing) I really need to move on ( I need to run far away ) To much better things ( I'm leaving you tomorrow ) So hold on to the memories They're all we've got for now ( I'm sorry for what I've done ) We'll stay in touch somehow ( please write me letters everyday ) As miles grow between us ( I'm gonna miss you so much ) These times will never leave us Some friends will last you forever, pictures will hold us together These times will pass us by, faster than the light in our eyes Love hard and live life together, some friends will not last forever These times will pass us by, but they'll leave their memories behind

This is what you asked for isn't it? When you were younger, this is what you wanted when you got older. This is not the shit I signed up for when I was younger I promised my father, I swore to my mother That I would follow all the things I wanted, do all the things only others thought of. I guess I turned out fine but I I can't shake, the feeling that I'm running out of time I can't beat it maybe my mom was right I should've stayed in school should've grown up right Should've went to college maybe learned how to write But that's not the way I needed things to go I just needed space I just had to grow I had to fall in love with the girl of my dreams just to break her heart and rip mine from the seams. Cause that's what we do as human beings Fly ourselves to the top just to clip our wings and fall back to earth more reality, back to what they want, back to what they need back to rushing things, bad anxiety crippling thoughts in your head, stomach pains in your bed all the blood that you've bled, all the tears that you shed led to moments like now that make you wish you were dead and then it stops, things get different. You skip a beat cause you missed the rhythm you're finding ways in life you never knew were there some days will drag on forever some days you'll wish that they'll never end so they'll go on and on.
