Not Down For It

Dont tell me you’re not down for it
Or that you don’t have time
I know its hard for you to admit
So you’d rather lie
Sell me on the fact
That its not me
I know its one in a million
That I could fall asleep
Wake up to something new
Shake off the sinking feeling that
The thing inside my head
Was never true
I won’t pretend
I’m getting good
at holding my breath
Cause I fall short all the time X2
Im singing
Woah, wasting time
Living the life of someone else
Hoping that someday
You’ll finally see
Your hearts on my sleeve X2
Don’t care if you’re not down for it
So I won’t waste my time
Ive read the writing on the walls and
Opened up my eyes
Realized the fact
That its not me
I know its one in a million
That I could fall asleep
Wake up to something new
Shake off the sinking feeling that
The thing inside my head
Was never true
I won’t pretend
I’m getting good
at holding my breath
Cause I fall short all the time X2
Im singing
Woah, wasting time
Living the life of someone else
Hoping that someday
You’ll finally see
Your hearts on my sleeve X2

Raindrops On Cars

Sitting here alone
watching raindrops on cars
I am thinkin about a time
When there were better days
And the hope of better days
When no one was scared
There’s nothing to do
Because it’s too dark outside
There’s nowhere to go
Cause the gas is too high
Just waiting for the day
when we all curl up and die
Smoking and drinking the world all the way
It’s how we are because there’s nothing else to do
in a world that is fueled by anger and hate
Tell me when will the sunshine come through
When will the sunshine come through
I don’t know the words to the second verse Cuz Zack sings it better than I ever could. I’m sorry that I don’t know the rest of the song.
Smoking and drinking the world all the way
It’s how we are because there’s nothing else to do
in a world that is fueled by anger and hate
Tell me when will the sunshine come through

Easier to Breathe

I think Ive said it all before
But I will say it once again
That this has got to be the last time
Yeah it’s has to be the end
Cause it I’m falling even deeper
Than I thought that I could be
if I continue digging
Then you might just be to far away me
Far away from me
We both know this can’t last forever
That it will get better
We’ll find solid ground
A place for a start
A place for my heart
I’ve said it more than one time
I don’t feel that I’m enough
I know it’s hard to understand
I know it can be rough
But if you can stay beside me
I hope that you can see
Even when I’m down and out
You make it easier to breathe
Easier to breathe
We both know this can’t last forever
That it will get better
We’ll find solid ground
A place for a start
A place for my heart

You Win

Well,
you win
You stole
My heart
I tried
My best
To run
Oh way
Instead, you just kept coming back
in spite of all the mean things that I said
Don’t know what keeps you around?
We will make this work somehow
Do it all again I wouldn’t change a fucking thing it’s still be you and me forever and always
For months
I tried
No hope
I lied
I tried
Like hell
To run
Away
Instead, you just kept coming back
in spite of all the mean things that I said
Don’t know what keeps you around?
We will make this work somehow
Do it all again I wouldn’t change a fucking thing it’s still be you and me forever and always

Sunday Noon
02:24

Woke up Sunday noon
with no way to hold my head
so I jumped up from my bed
to contemplate.
I guess that’s where I went so wrong
I hate whiskey but I love the taste.
I love how it makes me feel
so good so free so everything
it’s going to be the death of me,
why can’t everybody close their eyes for me
just a second long enough
so nobody cries for me
why can’t everybody close their eyes for me
just a second so long enough
so nobody cries for me
it’s just another day
that I search this fucking couch
through the wasted memories of yesterday.
Oh god, what have I done
it’s just another Day gone by
that I’ll question while we’re here
what we are doing and
In who’s name
God what have I done?
why can’t everybody close their eyes for me
just a second long enough
so nobody cries for me
why can’t everybody close their eyes for me
just a second so long enough
so nobody cries for me
I know everything is going to work out fine it’ll work out fine. It’ll work out fine. I know because it always does. If hell doesn’t rain down on us tonight. It’ll work out fine. Work out fine I know because it always does
why can’t everybody close their eyes for me
just a second long enough
so nobody cries for me
why can’t everybody close their eyes for me
just a second so long enough
so nobody cries for me

Dead and Gone
03:22

Convince yourself that you’re so righteous
On display for all to see
But your hands are far from clean
When left to your own devices
With your name on the marquee
Fuck those who disagree
Justifications for your actions comes too easy
And your lines drawn on the sand
Are dead and gone
So much for thinking
Your fucking sinking
Down
Exposed and weakened
So much for thinking
Now
Point your camera so you vindicate your value,
but when the curtain falls you throw down
all your good iinhabitions
Is there a difference in the way you treat the the next one
Is there a difference in
The way you hang your head
Justifications for your actions comes too easy
And your lines drawn on the sand
Are dead and gone
So much for thinking
Your fucking sinking
Down
Exposed and weakened
So much for thinking
Now
