Feel it in your bones and let the music take you,
please forget your phone, I don't wanna hang with the fake you,
Sometimes I like to be alone, get a little stoned, silent phone and play Nintendo, or I could get a little wild, choices of a child, wake up and I am dead broke,
It's all the same, it's all a game,
this thing that they call life I will never understand until I can do my own thing, until I can do my own thing,
Nighttime's grandiose that's where I spend most my time,
house quiet as a ghost, but we get along just fine,
I know that I would feel alright, if I went out tonight and cruised until the daylight, star gaze through the sunroof for days, kinda lost but we had fun in the mean time,
It's all the same, it's all a game,
this thing that they call life I will never understand until I can do my own thing, until I can do my own thing.

Well you came down from the sky you were so influential, I said hey now man don't be so sentimental, I got words to say and things to create, this worlds a blank canvas on which for me to paint and I may be right, and I may be wrong, but come and show me the way if it don't take long,
and I just think you might, be alright
and the sun is shinin' tonight, lets take flight
I took a polaroid better yet a mental picture, didn't want to forget all the time's I spent with ya, gettin' high and drunk oh out by the lake, fishin' in the dark now isn't this great, they say laughter and friends well thats the best medicine, I don't know though cuz I aint got much of them, always on the run always losing my mind, don't know what it is that I'm trying to find,
and I just think you might, be alright
and the sun is shinin' tonight, lets take flight
don't you wanna go where no one knows your name?
everyones around but it just dont feel the same,
you are smiling now that it's different again,
I don't even know you.

Hello family can I tell you all the things I wanna tell you, couldn't tell you so I put it in verse, third eye blind like a coda to the curse,
the lights keep on shinin', in the studio while I'm grindin, these music and lyrics are my only escape, couldn't marry the girl so I took her on a date,
they say love that its endless, well I've seen love and its plagued with, jealousy, hypocrisy, malice and hate, oh I've seen love and isn't it great, but don't let me negate all the good things dont let me forget all the great times, you were always good as a father, might have made mistakes but then again your still my father,
I once was lost but now I'm found, the world is spinning round and round, don't you remember, don't you remember?
This nine to five I won't survive, I dream of death to feel alive,
don't you remember, don't you remember?

Hello future me can I warn you, yes please let me warn you, theres lot's of things that your gonna wanna do but you better not do them cuz they're bad for you, so keep your mind positive and your mood right, surround yourself with those who do right, you will be fucking legend whats your hurry wait a second,
you feel old but your young, you just want to have fun but it seems that you cant because your living in your own mind all the time, smoking weed to see the signs, write my thoughts to free my mind, yeah you know, yeah you know my dreams I'll find,
I once was lost but now I'm found, the world is spinning round and round, don't you remember, don't you remember?
This nine to five I won't survive, I dream of death to feel alive,
don't you remember, don't you remember?

Let Me Go

Living our lives as ghosts on the wall,
try to give back but we lost it all,
rain on the windshield headed north, I know your out there gettin' bored,
I wish that I could come and meet you,
I see but I don't really know,
all that the world has gotta show,
I am only human,
so let me go...
I breathe something other than this, blood stained floor,
all for show don't worry bout him, jump in and swim,
Maybe tomorrow I'll conquer the world,
no strife no sorrow all as it should,
talk in terms that only we can understand,
all the things that we hold here in our hands,
I'll teach you all about it,
set myself free into the galaxy,
to where our lives are all but dreams,
can't say i haven't thought about it,
so let me go...
I breathe something other than this, blood stained floor,
all for show don't worry bout him, jump in and swim,

Suicide life live and die by the knife, though I never aim to kill always cutting for the thrill, thoughts and pain in my brain won't you please go away, I'm sick of self medicating and it's nice out today I wanna play, like I did as a kid, out on the farm like I was Billy the Kid, growin' up poor thats just what we did, always outside cuz thats just where we hid from reality, but now it's hit me that I'm older, fighting so hard it's got me feelin' like a soldier, testing my resolve this weight is heavy as a boulder, God it sucks getting older, but does it, I got a mother and a family I'm feelin' so low not even they can understand me, its tragic cuz I wish that I could let them all in, take them way back to where my story begins, sometimes my life it feels like a sin, feelin so low I fear the Devil may win, everybody's outside looking in, and I don't wanna wait if it means forever no,
So have a nice life and be on your way, remember to be brave and that I'm never far away, follow your dreams no matter where they lead, your biggest mistake would be not to believe,
Summer '09 in a Dodge Ram van, playing city after city with my closest friends. Skateboarding and Pokémon and one night stands and alcohol, no dreams about anything else because we thought we had it all. And hey, I guess we really did. We accomplished quite a lot for only being kids, but $4 a day is no way to live and it wasn't very long before I quit.
You see, I met a girl and saw a barbecue and said "hey, you know that's something that I wanna do. Suburban living drew me in, it stole my youth and made me lust for it and ... God, it sucks getting older.
But does it?
I've got a job I love, and friends that talk to me about their lives and always understand me. These types of bonds were made to last, unlike the reckless friends I surrounded myself with in the past.
But back then life was so carefree, feeling so high, like nothing could phase me. Yet once I started moving on I became free.
I don't wanna wait if it means forever.
So have a nice life and be on your way, remember to be brave and that I'm never far away, follow your dreams no matter where they lead, your biggest mistake would be not to believe,

the dust had hardly settled and there's sweat in your eyes, you feel the fear grippin' you deep inside, you see the man across from you and you are surprised, to see the same feelings radiate from his eyes,
And I know, there's two of us here but only one will survive so,
don't be slow, or you'll never wake up to see the sunrise,
my hand was feelin' shaky so I put it to my chest, searching for my timepiece tucked into my vest, the hour had counted down till there was one minute left so, i thought about survival and just blocked out the rest,
And I know, there's two of us here but only one will survive so,
don't be slow, or you'll never wake up to see the sunrise,
And again and again and again and again I wonder, hey eh,
of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend who wandered away,
I close my eyes and take a deep breath, I reach for my gun put a slug to his chest, if this is the end I wonder what it means to be gone?
Gone, gone again...
Sometimes I wonder what it means to be gone, but then I know that I'll stand strong, sometimes I wonder what could go wrong in a fairytale?

With the wind in our hair the open road was our destiny, no time to stop and stare getting high was our priority, and don't you ever worry about the things you can't do nothing about, cuz I waste too much time with that,
but you look like a flower I had picked from my Grandmothers garden, and the promises we had made to ourselves are gone but not forgotten, oh they're not forgotten,
We dream of a life bigger than this, we were young, God knows we were only kids, with no money in our pockets, parents pictures in our lockets, we had set out to take over the world
Lookin about, remenisce on days when, we were young and free stupid and careless but there for our friends,
now dont you ever give up and not try, cuz that is the definition of die, so dont you waste your precious time with that,
but you look like a flower I had picked from my Grandmothers garden, and the promises we had made to ourselves are gone but not forgotten, oh they're not forgotten,
We dream of a life bigger than this, we were young, God knows we were only kids, with no money in our pockets, parents pictures in our lockets, we had set out to take over the world,
If I wandered through the streets would you be there? If I ran a thousand miles would you care? I've been searching and Ive been finding and Ive been sick of all of this, time for me to dare,
We dream of a life bigger than this, we were young, God knows we were only kids, with no money in our pockets, parents pictures in our lockets, we had set out to take over the world,

You asked me baby, do you believe in love at first sight and the things that you read? I don't know, but they do,
I think about you everyday and all the things that I wished to say, you don't care but I do,
What will I do if you go missing? Who will I share my stories to, who will listen?
I walk outside these bedroom walls but all I get are your withdrawals, I wonder if you hurt like I do?
Lost inside my emotions I feel that this can't have gone on, that that can't be real, to break free is what I aspire to,
What will I do if you go missing? Who will I share my stories to, who will listen?

I was just walking by the road when you came up, you said "Hey man do you need a ride?" I said "yup",
We shared our stories and we talked of better days, we thought the lord would just forgive our wicked ways,
and I can give you thunder and I can give you rain, I can show you where the pleasure meets the pain, and I can show you patience and I can keep you sane, I can take you there if you don't forget my name, so don't forget my name,
I'm just a traveller looking for my soul, if you find it could you please just let me know, I think about the world and I always feel old, I'm not one to believe in what I'm told,
and I think that I'm ready now, I think that I've finally found, take a chance live or die and break on through the other side,

New Set Of Eyes

I'm too young to have lived, I'm too old to have died, all I have are my memories, I keep them inside, this life is a journey and I'll follow it through from the beginning to the end cuz you know I've been searching for something, the atmosphere was bright, the water was cold, I jump right in I've never done this before,
Through a new set of eyes I look, and through a new set of eyes I see,
You belong to me oh yes you do, we'll sail the seven seas meet a pirate or two, you know we can do anything we wanna do,
I'm too close to have jumped, I'm too far to have tried, everyone that surrounds us, the people have lied, this life is a journey and I'll follow it through from the beginning to the end cuz you know I've been searching for something, I look to the sky think maybe I'll fly, the world could be mine I said the world could be mine,
Through a new set of eyes I look, and through a new set of eyes I see,
You belong to me oh yes you do, we'll sail the seven seas meet a pirate or two, you know we can do anything we wanna do,

You knock at the door and I put my sneakers on, you say that we're going for a walk and we won't be long, skippin' and a jumpin' we talk of the days gone by, you say that your leaving soon and I try not to cry,
Cuz you said, life is what you make it, love is so contagious, my head hits the floor, I think I'm in love with the girl, the girl next door,
Never thought I'd be here with you on this magic carpet ride, let's spend the night together stay up and watch the sunrise,
Cuz you said, life is what you make it, love is so contagious, my head hits the floor, I think I'm in love with the girl, the girl next door,

My Tribe

Light is shining from your window, just like Romeo I want to, climb your balcony to call you,
gazing up at the starlight, they shine so bright, I want to know, will you come to my bedroom window?
I wanna run and I wanna fly, I want to live but I don't wanna die,
I want to explore and I want to describe all the things I've seen and places to my tribe,
Crazy when your thinkin' about it, life and death and what it all fuckin' means, I don't know but it's not all as it seems, I wish the truth would just reveal itself,
Would it be wrong if I told her what you said to me? I don't belong in the 21st century, would you believe if I said to you follow me? We can be anything that we wanna be,
I wanna run and I wanna fly, I want to live but I don't wanna die,
I want to explore and I want to describe all the things I've seen and places to my tribe,
Would it be wrong if I told her what you said to me? I don't belong in the 21st century, would you believe if I said to you follow me? We can be anything that we wanna be,

Livin' lovin' life I'm such a lonely thing, I take joy in the sun and the life it brings, and the neighbour next door gettin' up for work, and on Sundays takin' his family to church, he's a hard workin' man and I'm jealous of that, I gotta go for a minute but I'll be right back, couldn't afford a ticket so I'm followin' the tracks, as a matter of fact what do you think about that?
And I want you to notice, all the little things I do, everyone is starstruck whenever they're around you, but lately I don't give a fuck cuz I'm on my way outta here, and It'll be you that's missin' me when I'm in the stratosphere,
Hey hey hey Foxy lady, come on pretty woman, show me what you look like, early in the morning,
Just to be remembered, not to be forgotten, to do something beautiful in this life is all I ever wanted, but I can't seem to remember all the dreams I dreamed of, runnin outta time to thank the people I leaned on, just want to make them proud if it's possible, but it seems impossible to me,
And I want you to notice, all the little things I do, everyone is starstruck whenever they're around you, but lately I don't give a fuck cuz I'm on my way outta here, and It'll be you that's missin' me when I'm in the stratosphere,
Hey hey hey Foxy lady, come on pretty woman, show me what you look like, early in the morning,
