Die Trying
03:05
|

“You can't make it,” they said
“It's a long shot, a pie in the sky,
And you haven't got what it takes.”
They said, “You're nothing special,
People like you are a dime a dozen.
You got a better shot at the lottery.”
But are you giving up now?
Or are you gonna shout it out?
I am not afraid of the dreams I've made
I'm not afraid to fall
I am not ok with living life this way
I am not afraid to die trying
They shake their heads and say, “Wasted,
“Wasted, wasted. Folly,” they say.
“You're throwing your whole life away.
You'll work so hard for nothing
One of these days it's coming back to bite you.
Fold while you're ahead.”
But are you giving up now?
Or are you gonna shout it out?
I am not afraid of the dreams I've made
I'm not afraid to fall
I am not ok with living life this way
I am not afraid to die trying
What's your excuse today?
Why don't you fly away
Are you waiting for a sign
Don't you know no one can make you chase your dreams?
I am not afraid of the dreams I've made
I'm not afraid to fall
I am not ok with living life this way
I am not afraid to die trying

Curiosity
02:55
|
|||
I’m not a sentimental person
I’m not rainbows and roses
I need proof, and I need cold hard facts
I’m not a flower child
I’m not into love at first sight
That’s all too fluffy for me
Curiosity compels my heart
But my mind keeps asking questions
Curiosity compels my heart
But my mind keeps wondering
I’m not easily persuaded
I’m a skeptic, a now-it-all, it’s true
I’ve got a stubborn mind
You’re full of promises
But how long till you let me down
You’re just a perfect mirage
What if I learn to trust you?
What if you’re all you say
You are?
Curiosity compels my heart
But my mind keeps asking questions
Curiosity compels my heart
But my mind keeps wondering
You say la da dee da da
But I say na na na na
You say la da dee da day
But I say no no no no no
Curiosity compels my heart
But my mind keeps asking questions
Curiosity compels my heart
But my mind keeps wondering

Jar of Broken Promises
03:06
|
|||
Whatever happened to happy ever after
What happened to wishes on stars
The luster of life got lost in the middle ages
And I can't seem to get it back
In my microwave mindset
I want it all in 30 seconds or less
I've heard that good things are worth waiting for
But how am I to know if it's too long gone
I'm only a jar of broken promises
Just a pile of faded dreams
I'm only 24, but I feel ages older
Scared to death that it's too late
Why can't I just escape this desperation
What tethers my heart to this place
Often I've tried to run away and hide
But this dream never dies
I've heard that good things are worth waiting for
But how am I to know if it's too long gone
I'm only a jar of broken promises
Just a pile of faded dreams
I'm only 24, but I feel ages older
Scared to death that it's too late
Is it too late?
Is it too long gone?
Is it too long gone?
I'm only a jar of broken promises
Just a pile of faded dreams
I'm only 24, but I feel ages older
Scared to death that it's too late
I'm only a jar of broken promises
Just a pile of faded dreams
I'm only 24, but I feel ages older
Scared to death that it's too late
Whatever happened to happy ever after
To wishes on stars

Cry
04:07
|
|||
I’ve been away so long from you
And every day makes it harder to undo
The fire burns cold
But still I know I need you
But every time I see your face I cry
I know it’s you I can’t replace and I cry
How can I come back home now
How could we love just like before
The bridge has seen too much water to ignore
The damage done
The passion gone, but I need you
But every time I see your face I cry
I know it’s you I can’t replace and I cry
How can I come back home now
But still I hear you calling
Come home now
Is it you, is it you I’m hearing
Come home now
Is it you, it must be you I’m hearing
Come home now
But every time I see your face I cry
I know it’s you I can’t replace and I cry
How can I come back home now

Terrified
04:17
|
|||
You, lurking in the dark
You don't scare me
I can feel your blackened heart
I can hear your scorn
You, snarl all you want
I'm not shaken
Cause I have seen you in the light
I know what you are
I'm not running from you
I'm not afraid of a fight
So what you waiting for
I'm not giving it up
I will defend what is mine
Can you draw blood?
I'm not terrified
I'm not terrified
You, come and do your worst
Stop your talking
I'm not buying all your lies
I'm not trembling
I have felt the bitter dark
Screams of anguish
You've got nothing on the terrors
I have heard
I'm not running from you
I'm not afraid of a fight
So what you waiting for
I'm not giving it up
I will defend what is mine
Can you draw blood?
I'm not terrified
I'm not terrified
In the dark, in the deepest dark
I have stood face to face with myself
In the dark, in the audible dark
I have heard my own soul scream

Choices You've Made
03:19
|
|||
You've got some big regrets and want to start again
You say you got to find a way to heal
You think about how it might have been
You're thinking it still could
But don't try to run away
You can't run away
Sometimes you got to live with the choices you've made
In your blind state
When it's too late
Sometimes you got to live with the choices you've made
When it's too late
To turn around
Sometimes you got to stand and take it on the chin
Sometimes you got to find a way to deal
Doesn't mean it's gonna be pretty
Doesn't mean it's gonna feel good
But don't try to run away
If you run away
The innocent lose, If you choose
You can't run, You can't hide
You can't leave them behind
Sometimes you got to live with the choices you've made
In your blind state
When it's too late
Sometimes you got to live with the choices you've made
When it's too late
To turn around
Too much at stake
Whole lives would be changed
Your path has been laid
It's not just about you
And what you want to do
There's too much to lose
Sometimes you got to live with the choices you've made
In your blind state
When it's too late
Sometimes you got to live with the choices you've made
When it's too late
To turn around

Funny
03:49
|

Rain drips down my window
Jagged lines against the glass
Fog and dampness
Funny
The reassuring weight of your foot on mine
Really do miss you
Funny
Now that you think we're just friends
Funny
How the tables turn
How do I tell you what's inside
When I lied for so long
Does the look in my eyes give me away
Is this love? Is it a little too late?
Streaming through my window
Pools of sunlight on the floor
Warmth and comfort
Funny
This fleece is all that's left of you
It's with me every night
Built a shrine of your letters
Funny
Have to force myself not to write every day
Funny
How the tables turn
How do I tell you what's inside
When I lied for so long
Does the look in my eyes give me away
Is this love? Is it a little too late?
These months apart were stupid
But you're coming today
I couldn't sleep last night
These months apart were stupid
But you're coming today
I couldn't sleep last night
How do I tell you what's inside
When I lied for so long
Does the look in my eyes give me away
Is this love? Is it a little too late?

Hey Perfect
02:31
|
|||
He's got the body of a Greek god
He's got a scholar's mind
He is the life of the party
And when he leans in close, I say
Hey, Perfect
Quit playing games with my mind
It ain't human, this kind of flawless design
Hey, Perfect
Are you an alien life?
If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up
He gets the laughs like a stand-up show
He drums on everything, everything
He's got the skills of a five-star chef
And when he leans in close, I say
Hey, Perfect
Quit playing games with my mind
It ain't human, this kind of flawless design
Hey, Perfect
Are you an alien life?
If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up
Ok, so he throws his dirty clothes on the floor
Alright, so he leaves the toilet seat up
So what, so he's zoned into the game
When he leans in close, I say
Hey, Perfect
Quit playing games with my mind
It ain't human, this kind of flawless design
Hey, Perfect
Are you an alien life?
If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up

Fighting With Hercules
03:18
|
|||
My pride's a boulder on my path
Can't get over, under, around it
Cannot push it out of my way
I've said you need me and just don't know it yet
Gawked at faults in others' lives
I am hideous to behold
I'm fighting with Hercules
My faith melts like wax
I'm fighting with Hercules
My faith melts like wax
I see it now that everything
In my life revolves around me
Cannot change it on my own
All the things that I've been through
Where you've placed for me a mirror
I am hideous, now I see
I'm fighting with Hercules
My faith melts like wax
I'm fighting with Hercules
My faith melts like wax
Can you change me, crush me, kill me?
Can you grind my will to dust?
Can you batter, shatter, scatter?
Can you find Achilles' heel?
I'm fighting with Hercules
My faith melts like wax
I'm fighting with Hercules
My faith melts like wax

Where Is The Rain
04:09
|
|||
Sand blows across sand in a wasted land
Scar in the earth, jagged and sharp
River remembered, now only dust
Heat radiates skyward, as if to say
Where is the rain
There's got to be rain
The rocks are screaming out for water
The sun is beating down no answer
Where is the rain
Waiting on the rain
The only hope for life is in the rain
Heart broken and bruised, torn limb from limb
Thirsty for love, longing for truth
Purpose elusive, meaning untold
Drained by my desiring, needing to know
Where is the rain
There's got to be rain
The rocks are screaming out for water
The sun is beating down no answer
Where is the rain
Waiting on the rain
The only hope for life is in the rain
Drought erupts in fire
Flames rise up higher
All will be lost
All will be lost
Where is the rain
There's got to be rain
The rocks are screaming out for water
The sun is beating down no answer
Where is the rain
Waiting on the rain
The only hope for life is in the rain
