Back in the day
Everything was hard to find
Searching for
Things that turn me on
Word of mouth
Searching through the dial
Recommends
Listening to your friends
Whatever happened to my radio?
Heroes gone, replaced by on demand
Whatever happened to a video?
World debuts now at the palm of your hand
Tastemaker
Skipping through the songs
Here try this
Where’s this coming from?
Who’s the one who’s gonna save my soul
Please come in and save our rock and roll on
Whatever happened to my radio?
Heroes gone, replaced by on demand
Whatever happened to a video?
World debuts now at the palm of your hand

Dance of the Desperate

Start the day contemplating all the things I must do
it makes my heart race and I just want to slow down
Run around grab your things and you walk through the front door
and once you begin you know it’s not gonna stop
Drop them off, pick them up and the clock starts to tick
and you wonder if things will be done for the day
Get a text, read a message and add things to the list
and you’re running around on a wheel that won’t stop
Please take my hand (take my hand)
and hold me real close (hold me close)
and walk with me - make me
Stop in your arms now (arms now)
Spinning and twisting (twisting)
I’m getting dizzy (dizzy)
Please take my hand and we’ll be together
All alone counting minutes the hamster wheels turning
and I do not see a real endgame in sight
Double booked all my dates on the calendar x’d off
and I just want to know when I’ll see you again
Making plans making choices I don’t want to confirm
I’d rather be laying in bed once again
Now I’m counting the hours till I get to sleep and no matter
what I see it’s never gonna be enough
Please take my hand (take my hand)
and hold me real close (hold me close)
and walk with me - make me
Stop in your arms now (arms now)
Spinning and twisting (twisting)
I’m getting dizzy (dizzy)
Please take my hand and we’ll be together

Something Special

Love the thing I thought was fake
But little did I know
It was here all along
Slapping me in the face
Looking in the Wrong place
I’m glad I found you now
I can finally rest my head
It finally feels safe
Something special
Thoughts I wrestle
Am I worth it
Some didn’t think so
Something special
Thoughts I wrestled
Are you worth it
Good I think so
Fine I drink the Kool Aid
Sure I’ll take your word for It
Maybe I’m worthy of
The love you give to me
I want to pay ten fold
We both deserve it now
So let’s begin to build
It finally feels safe

I know ever since I was a young boy
There was always this feelings
That I couldn’t just make go away
How come, when I tried to just approach it
It was met with such distain
I would told to just walk it off
But now, there are piles of medications
Given to all the masses
Does this help or just make me numb
Have feels? You can just adjust the dosage
Does this make me compliant?
Or a person who’s wires got crossed
Take this drug
become Superman
Chemicals
make me greater than
But then now
here’s the side effects
Become numb
now you are my pet
Take this shot
I’m invincible
Doesn’t fix
that your an imbecile
Wonder pills
help the self control
Can’t fix dumb
slip into your role
I know if I don’t just friggin take them
I will just be a zombie
Filing in for the walking dead
But then I just feel the same emotions
They say it’s a game changer
But how come I feel in last place?
I know All I want is just a balance
Keeping me right on the beam
So I don’t just tumble off
Take this drug
become Superman
Chemicals
make me greater than
But then now
here’s the side effects
Become numb
now you are my pet
Take this shot
I’m invincible
Doesn’t fix
that your an imbecile
Wonder pills
help the self control
Can’t fix dumb
slip into your role

Show the World You Can

Locked in my room and staring up at the ceiling fan
watching it spin around
Wondering if I can get out of bed today my muscles ache
and I don’t think I can
I just want to know if these voices inside my head
will ever quiet down
I need to rise up and take the plunge and just forge ahead
and don’t ever look back
Open up your eyes
Let your fears subside
Resist all the urge
It’s the final purge
You can do it now
Faith will show you how
Make that final stand
Show the world you can
As much as I think I have this figured out Things pop up
and make me doubt myself
I don’t know why I’m always so scared to Just Look at it
then turn my back on it
Constant conflicts that I create to make me feel bad
when nothing has occurred
You’re better than that you got this far So just shake it off
and walk right through the door

I Once read this article that opened my eyes
Didn’t explain the sides
I just knew that it was the truth
It said that the actions of malicious intent
Giving that full consent
Maybe under your breath it holds
I don’t know
Why it’s so
They say
The villain gets the girl
This is now our world
It’s not fair
Do we care?
They say
The villain gets the girl
The motives are unfurled
Donate all your money to a cause of your choice
Will it wash your hands clean
Does this make you not mean
Sure…
I once thought that all of this was just for the best
Will it clean up this mess
I just have to confess
It won't
I don’t know
Why it’s so
They say
The villain gets the girl
This is now our world
It’s not fair
Do we care?
They say
The villain gets the girl
The motives are unfurled
Cant we just come back
Make those separate halves whole
Or are we just doomed
To these different tribes
Let us choose

On My Way

Hey
I saw your text on the phone
Why
didn’t you stay?
First thought was that you were not alone
Now
Now I that I know
I’m on my way
My girl
This time I won’t go home
Don’t cry
It won’t always be this way
Time
Seems like it’s not enough
Please
please don’t you go
Second thought was that you wanted space
Now
Now that I know
I’m on my way
My girl
This time I won’t go home
Don’t cry
It won’t always be this way
You’ll see
This time we’ll make it for two
I know
You’ll be my forever
