I know
that there is nothing better for me
than to be happy
and do good
while I live
but what happens when my back is too heavy
to carry the weight of myself
I’ll try simply letting go
not giving up
the only things that holds me back
are the things that come and go
and don’t even think about me
so why should I focus on them
what happens when my back is too heavy
from accepting the weight of my fate
I’ve got a lot convicting myself
I wouldn’t cave
the only things that holds me back
are the things that come and go
and don’t even think about me
so why should I focus on them
I’ll keep my tongue
from bringing me down
my back is heavy
but I’ll hang on for now
imagine if you will
knowing how it feels
to hold it all together
and while you wait
with your flaws tucked away
you mind your own
still the dirt starts to pile
take time to dig it out
we dug
we dug our own graves

Battle Scars

i'll stop telling myself
that I'm stuck
when in reality
it's up to my own feet to move
when is the point when we realize our progress
depends on our own two feet
when do we stop sitting in the dark
wondering
who will save us
when the answer’s pumping through our blood
and the fuel is in our lungs
it’s our birthright
as breathers and bleeders
to make a move
let’s make the earth shake
make a move
shake the earth
leave a mark
and when it’s time
to face the gates of hell
they’ll see us standing
with our battle scars to prove our fight
but not our worth
make a move
shake the earth
leave a mark

Paralyzed

get familiar
if you can
just want to tell you bout a little something
A little news from a friend
A little help to let lives life free
little time so heads up
these walls will break down
but these actions will prove our existence
i really won’t assume what you’ve seen in your lifetime
so stop me if I’m getting ahead
but how much of the world
would we have to see
to know exactly
what everyone thinks
paralyzed
these things I held on to don’t prove my existence
paralyzed
my actions define what memory you’re left with
I know
One thing
my attitude will be the only thing left
what I say
about you
might be the very words that keeps a mind trapped and feeling
paralyzed
the words that I say to you could cripple and break you
paralyzed
i know how it feels
i’ll do my best not hurt you
sometimes it just slips me

Still Standing

right here and right now
we’ve got a million other places to be
but we’re here
this shouldn’t be hard to remember
but we always seem to
forget
where we started from
battled through
fell through
but made it on top
let’s make this it
let’s make it enough
there seems to be a problem with memory
all accounted for
go on
seems these days
everything and every wall is standing in our way
let’s think about how it shouldn't matter at all
how the only way to walk to it is crawling through a heavy weight
feels familiar to me too
this time
it’s set in stone
the only thing
holding it all together
let’s make this it
let’s make it enough
there seems to be a problem with memory
save panic
for when it counts
This time it won't be an issue
we will remember
we will

Who Does the Dirty Work

sometimes I find
i've drawn blanks
But still I find
my storehouse is filing
so much that
the only way to save my sanity
is giving it away
do I have anything to complain about
when my efforts are few and I seem to be riding on top
when the storm comes
winds blow
sometimes
we might cower and hide
should we act like we've done it on our own?
surprise, someone out there's got your back

Burning Daylight

I'm sorry if this is sound is something new to you
but for now
we’re burning daylight
the sun is up
and my body is rested
my feet are moving and there's
air in my lungs
i don’t know if you like what you do in a day
but my day is something i won’t waste away
now day is defined by the sun being out
i’m not around the world
so the light carries me out
there’s a song in the air
and I really don’t care
i’ll sing it loud
as long as my mind is clear
one
shout for the melody
two more
for the bass inside
three
well, because we’re burning daylight
blue skies
grey skies
i’m soaking up the day
the positive in us all will be the only way
to get us out and about
because without positivity i know that without a doubt We'll
sit inside in the dark all day
without seeing the light right in our face
there’s a song in the air
and I really don’t care
i’ll sing it loud
as long as my mind is clear
one
shout for the melody
two more
for the bass inside
three
well, because we’re burning daylight
one or two
for those with broken hearts
three or four
for those on broken knees
five
for those who are just burning daylight
we’re burning daylight
