I hope to see you soon someday
When there’s another way
And we can fly away
Or we can chill and stay
It’s OK to be afraid
Ya know these dark days soon will fade
I hate this rain make it leave I pray
These skies to blue from gray
I’ll see you soon someday
When there’s another way
And we won’t shy away
From the world today
I’ll see you soon someday

A Day In The Life

The walls are closing in his chest tightens up
His shirt a button up rips it off to take on
His life it used to seem so open wide
Now he's trapped up inside a cage that he made in
His mind is always playing tricks on him
Makes it hard to give any positive thoughts to
Anything or anyone that he sees
Falls onto his knees and he's done with these thoughts too
He drinks and he smokes
So much that he chokes
All in all
It's just a day in the life of
Her constant tears it seems they're pouring down
In a pool so deep she could drown with no capable ladder
Her former thoughts were of his world so bright
And then they're suicide well now she favors the latter
Because in her mind she envisioned her role
Deep inside of his soul with date night on weekends
Feels like she won't get through any of this
Clenched tight is her fist and her heart it has weakened
She drinks and she smokes
Every word he spoke
All in all
It's just a day in the life of
He's scratching pads erasing every line
Not a good enough rhyme and soon his frustration grows
He's always been the talented one in school
Choosing art over cool because that's all that he knows
But not everyone's dream can be
His fluid fantasy fails to flow to fruition
Living day by day his eyes are half closed
Burning tracks that he knows, goodbye intuition.
He drank and he smoked
Every note they wrote
All in all
It's just a day in the life of loss

Ditty

I’m too tired to get out of bed
Yet too awake to fall back asleep
If I sit here reminiscing your vehicle to listen and won’t you take a ride with me?
Cause I’m too tired to get out of bed
Yet too awake to fall back asleep
I won’t be here for long so for now I’ll sing my song and won’t you sing along with me?
I said everyday is the same (the same)
And all you do is sit and wonder why me? Why me?
When there is so much more to life than you (than you)
And there is so much more out there to do (to do)
And all you do is stick your head in a box and hear what they tell you (tell you)
Till you’re too tired to get out of bed
Yet too awake to fall back asleep
So you sit there and you listen your vehicle to miss it and won't you take a ride with me?
Cause I’m too tired to get out of bed
Yet too awake to fall back asleep
I won’t be here for long so for now I’ll sing my song and won’t you sing along with me?
It’s sunshine that’s stolen from us
They lie too the ones who you trust
Yet you’re hoping one day one day happiness will find you
Hoping one day someday riches will find you
Hoping one day someday love will come and find you
But it won't mean nothing till you love what's up inside you, you know
You know (you know)
The end
You repeat
Again
Until the end
You repeat until the end
You repeat until the end
You repeat until the end
Until you're too tired to get out of bed
Until you're too tired to get out of bed
Until you're too tired to get out of bed

Soul

Your closing arguments they bring all mine to rest
And if you put me to it I'll always pass your test
Cause and effect you always seem to know what's right
And when I leave you stranded I won't be your light
Soul
I wasn't the one to be just like you, soul
I wasn't the one to be just like you, soul
I wasn't the one to be just like you, soul
I wasn't the one to be just like you, soul
You lay the best traps just to see if I will tempt
But stuck inside me just this trapped up cruel contempt
They keep this hold on you but it's you that holds the ace
Let's uncover this curious face and catch a cab out of this place
Soul
I wasn't the one to be just like you, soul
I wasn't the one to be just like you, soul
I wasn't the one to be just like you, soul
I wasn't the one to be just like you, soul

Lack of Acts
02:52

Look inside your mind
You won’t see what to do with all your time
But I'm crying everyday
I want to see you in a better way
But I don't know what to do and I don't know what to say.
But I need daughter
I need daughter
I need daughter here
I need daughter
I need daughter
I need daughter here
You feel cracks and turn to crack attack your friends and back your body into a lack of acts in fact the axe that whacks into you and attacks you back is you
Now you cant grasp what a horrible tax
You've become in your mind and in all our lives and then everything you don’t do with your time and
Now all I want is to claim what's mine
Instead I cry all of the time because
I need daughter
I need daughter
I need daughter here
I need daughter
I need daughter
I need daughter here
I need daughter
I need daughter
I need daughter here
I need daughter
I need daughter
I need daughter here

Day Maker
05:49

Traveled from Europe to arrive in the states
Brought with her nothing but a smile on her face
To make my day
You made my day
Legs that stretch for miles
Caught in a daze
Tried to make eye contact
Now locked in her gaze
She made my day
She made my day
Now I know this dream can’t be real
Captured this feeling we feel
I’m wrapped up all her in her reel
She’s perfect it must be surreal
Gambling my money cause I’m buzzed anyway
She’s whistling her favorite songs, songs that I made
To make my day
She made my day
I don’t have to worry about my baby going away
She’s honest and truthful says she loves me in every way
To make my day
She made my day
Now I know this dream can’t be real
Captured this feeling we feel
I’m wrapped up all her in her reel
She’s perfect it must
She knows me
She shows me
She inspires hope
She’s everything I’ve ever wanted so I had to let her know
I never came from Europe, I was born in the states
She found me with nothing but a frown on my face
To make my day
She made my day
Now it could be over at the start
Love can tear up your heart
Had I not cracked the door with a stone
I’d still be here all alone
Now I’m not saying I’ve done it all right
Between boredom and conflict Ive always chose to fight
But I’m keeping something open in hopes you come along
And fulfill the prediction in the hook of this song
Then I might feel
Something real
Then I might say
Maybe this time I’ll stay
Maybe this time I’ll stay
Oh, maybe this time I’ll stay
Maybe this time I’ll stay
You made my day

Marie
03:29

Her sight is bright but not alright
She fights ghosts and demons
For souls, loud they are screaming
They surround her
They drown her
She's got no home so she lays by the bank
Under the bridge where Cobain stayed
She prays there
God save her
My little Marie
Fast as she could be
She's always on my mind
She's always on my mind
Tripping about the drowsy scene
Washing her hands in the mud to stay clean
I'm right there
Don't act like you could save her
Casting my stone she's covered in sediment
Her mother remembers hair smelled of cinnamon
Wear the blanket
Oh my lord now could she make it?
My little Marie
Sweet as a girl could be
She's always on my mind
She's always on my mind
My little Marie
Incomplete mentality
Hot and cold inside
Never taking her time
So to you, how does she seem?
So to you, how does she seem?
So to you, how does she seem?
So to you, how does she seem??
How does she seem??
My little Marie
Fast as she could be
She's always on my mind
She's always on my mind
My little Marie
Sweet as a girl could be
She's always on my mind
She's always on my mind
My little Marie
Cries herself to sleep
Still wanting for a life
They told her so many lies
My little Marie
Happiness not guaranteed
Still always on my mind
She's always on my mind
