Think before you speak
If you never plan to speak again
Thinking's overrated
Like the winning streak has been
All that really means is that it's gotta end someday
Like a long weekend
Tuesday's the new Monday
When you quiet down the voice inside you will be amazed
And you try to drown the noise but just find the spirits raised
So stop trying so hard
...let it be
I'm a/ I'm a go hard
Set it free
Fingers clawing at the dirt
Gasping pulling in the air
Lingering feelings of hurt
No energy to spare
Forward thinking looking back
Never really here
Towards the light fall into black
Now you've wasted a whole year
Why bother trying
All there is is to be
Remembering is lying
Go blind and then I see

Let Go
03:16

Day after day routines stay the same for the most part
Each day dissolves what seems instantly soon as it starts
When you find yourself waiting for something to happen far from the mundane
It gets so hard to be here now when you're stuck inside your brain
Let go
Let your thoughts just dissolve
Let go
You may find your problems solved
flip me on my head
now my head is cracked great
headed back
to the gates of defeat and loss
soulmates
with my own self doubt
on a trip to help myself out
but tripped on the way out the door
over lies i spout
to myself about who i am
Or who I should be
Look better sing better
Never think to just be
Until I'm near the bottom of the heap
Dig me out again
Now I hear the talking in my sleep
Snooze and shout again
Self reflective or simply self indulgent
A retrospective of depressive solvent
Easier not to open up lock it up
Need me here just to properly prop it up

Reporting live from planet earth
Your mourning has been given birth
This morning expect the storm to start
The flood will last nearly a year
Destroy the outlook you hold dear
Storm warning: prepare to fall apart
I wish my mom was here the reason that I wrote this song
But she left too soon
The winter season came and she was gone
Seven years earlier my father left this plane
So now my Afro's turning red
Little orphan Ann... ie
And it's easy to make jokes when
You're acting like you're fine but the truth is that you're broken
Piece it back together, find a way to deal
CMT on at the hospice, "Jesus take the wheel"
Easier to watch that than to have a conversation
Words make it true and truth is something I'm not facing
But it's time to move forward
Finish up the rhyme design a few more words
About regrets and bets I wish I'd hedged differently
The impact of the crash was more severe than we could see
When I was ten years old my mom read an article
About how around eleven we'd start to drift apart and pull
Into separate corners
I told her it was nonsense
Funeral and mourners
No recompense
It's too late
And there are strangers here
But face it
I've been one for quite a few years
I feel like a separate person from that kid I was
Memories implanted
Emotional fuzz
Like I'm caught up in the matrix
And basically I hate this
Bottom line it's been so much harder than I've been willing to admit
Rotten time not sure where to start but I guess this is probably it
The impact of the crash was more severe than we could see
I'm independent anyway who needs you here with me
I'm not a kid although i feel like one usually
And then it all falls apart

Pleasant Dreams

And the boy did not know which way to go or if it even mattered at all.
He's beginning to realize it's all a movie in his mind. He's terrified.
Clinging desperately to the illusion to avoid the sun's intrusion. Rejecting what he knew to be true. Waking up is hard to do.
Wouldn't it be easier to stay asleep? It's what we've learned. We shouldn't even yet confer to go too deep. We might get burned. Even if it's easier to stay asleep we must wake up. The time is near to climb the mountain though it's steep. Time to shake it up.
Where are we? Where are we going? The time is now. Running forward so fast our vision's blurring. Can you believe the sadness we allow?
Pleasant dreams, but dreams is all they are. Avoiding reality, allowing wounds to scar.

God is Real
05:29

There are some things I may not know
There are some places I can't go
But I am sure of this one thing
God is real for I can feel it in my soul
I cannot tell just how I felt
When you took all my pain away
But on that day yes on that hour
God is real for I can feel the holy power
God is real, real in my soul
God is real, washed and made me whole
This love to me is like pure gold
God is real for I can feel it in my soul
