Everything Changes

everything changes day after day.
everything changes, although it may stay.
whatever we try, and whatever we do,
everything changes just like me and you.
remember the park where the kids used to play?
the weeds kept on growing with the ivy and shade.
without ever knowing when it will be cut plain,
we just keep on going with the hope and the pain.
everything changes day after day.
everything changes, although locked away.
whether or not broken, the old becomes new.
everything changes just like me and you.
Those short stood emotions you seem to display,
I know that they'll change and then soon fade away.
That's what I believe and I hope that it's true,
so one day my sadness can fade away too.
everything changes day after day.
everything changes, although it may stay.
whatever we try, and whatever we do,
everything changes just like me and you.
if I see you again, knowing you'll be different,
everything we had will just be a memory.
if I see you again, will I be different?
everything changes day after day.
everything changes, although locked away.
whether or not broken, the old becomes new.
everything changes just like me and you.

Repeat after Me
03:46

Let me share a story of a broken heart,
a brain full of air, and the weakest arms.
Holding up the sky to look at the stars,
never knowing when it'll fall apart...
When the light grew dim, opened up the scars.
Spit out crimson wisdom to the window's bars.
And I wonder who's dying right now, why or how, but I know that there's got to be somebody.
And I wonder who's crying right now over them cause I know that we're loved by somebody.
But what is love? What does it do?
I can feel alone even when I'm with you.
There's a little rhyme I can tell myself
to help pass the time, or do something else.
"You will survive. You'll be okay".
And once again, I repeated it today.
And I wonder who's dying right now, why or how, but I know that there's got to be somebody.
And I wonder who's crying right now over them cause I know that we're loved by somebody.
But what is love? What does it do?
I can feel alone even when I'm with you.
I can feel sad, I can feel doomed
I can feel bad even when I'm with you.
And once again, I repeated it today. (x2)
"You will be loved. You will be free."
"You will survive. You'll be happy."
And once again, I repeated it today. (x2)
"You will survive. You'll be okay."
And once again, I repeated it today.
And I wonder who's dying right now, why or how, but I know that there's got to be somebody.
And I wonder who's crying right now over them cause I know that we're loved by somebody.
But what is love? What does it do?
I can feel alone even when I'm with you.
And once again, I repeated it today (x3)
cause it's hard to accept the truth.

The End
03:26
|

|
I know it may be sudden, but I'm running away.
I know it's hard to believe that I chose to be this way.
Now I took all of my money, delivered it among the crowd.
All my old and new belongings, gave it all without a doubt.
One by one, I saw a smile, and for once, I felt my worth.
I was reminded why I was born on this Earth.
And maybe in the end, you'll smile once again.
And freedom will come then, without a consequence.
I hope the world is saved with everything I gave.
Only then, I'll be happy to be me.
I'm leaving it all behind, so I can make a new life.
Something that is mine must be made by me, in my own eyes.
I don't know what made you cry, and I can't help you but I try.
Even if it's for a moment, it was worth it everytime.
And maybe in the end, you'll smile once again.
And freedom will come then, without a consequence.
I want you satisfied, even after I've died.
Only then, I'll be happy to be me.
Well, maybe in the end...
And maybe in the end, you'll smile once again.
And freedom will come then, without a consequence.
I hope the world is saved with everything I gave.
Only then, I'll be happy to be me.

I'm Leaving The Country
03:28

Take a rest. If you're tired, then confess, cause we need you at your best.
I'm wondering what makes me a human being.
Is it the way I'm always breathing, or this heart that always beating?
No, that's not what I'm believing.
I'm human because I'm free.
I am what I want to be.
And if you won't let me be me.
Well, then I'm leaving the country. (x2)
I'll do what I think is best.
No matter the consequence.
If right here, you control me,
well then, I'm leaving the country. (x2)
Take me away. There's always somewhere better to be;
All I need is to find that place!
All the wars, all the corruption, all the people we obey.
I know somewhere there can be a better life for you and me.
I'm human because I'm free.
I am what I want to be.
And if you won't let me be me.
Well, then I'm leaving the country. (x2)
I'll do what I think is best.
No matter the consequence.
If right here, you control me,
well then, I'm leaving the country. (x2)
Just because it moves, doesn't make it alive.
Just because it's different, doesn't make it a lie.
You don't have the right to control my life,
and that's why we still fight!
I'm human because I'm free.
I am what I want to be.
And if you won't let me be me.
Well, then I'm leaving the country. (x2)
I'll do what I think is best.
No matter the consequence.
If right here, you control me,
well then, I'm leaving the country. (x2)

I'm Broke

I'm broke. (ladadadada) I'm broke.
I know that you don't care cause you don't have a dime to spare, but I'm broke.
(ladadadada) I'm broke...
It's not that I don't have a job. I make 100 per week.
Minimum wage at a place where no one respects me.
Money spins the world around, with the greedy and the crowned.
I'm not complaining, I'm just stating, I have no freedom
and can't get out.
Unfortunately for me, college keeps increasing in price,
and I just want a career that I would actually like.
Momma tells me always have a plan B,
cause you never know when life is gonna make you give up on your dreams.
I'm broke. (ladadadada) I'm broke.
I don't want to need your help, but I can turn to no one else.
I'm broke. Singing on the street "I'm broke"..
Tried to get a second job to make my life a lot less hard.
I wonder if they saw the scars on my legs or on my arms.
Both college and insurance I'm still trying to pay.
But how can I do that when I'm collecting spare change?
I'm broke. (ladadadada) I'm broke.
I'm sorry cause I wish that I could buy you the world, but I'm broke.
(ladadadadadadada...)
Suicidal thoughts? Well, I just need to act tough.
Can't be crying over how I'm never gonna be enough.
Can't afford the therapy or the drugs I probably need.
But isn't this what it means when they say "work hard to reach your dreams"?
I'm broke. (ladadadada) I'm broke.
But just because I'm broke doesn't mean I'm gonna give up hope.
(ladadadadada) No...
I'm broke. (ladadadada) I'll hope...
Guess I'm just a stubborn dope.

My Heart
02:43
|

There's a room where I stand
with my heart in my hand.
Both eyes shut. In my mind,
clutching on to my time.
With no thoughts, words or tears,
everything disappears.
Let the rain fall again
with my heart in my hand.
Holding myself tight,
into the darkness of the night.
With moonlight shining on my years,
the life behind me disappears.
On a road leading here,
I exchange all my fears
for the heart I must hold:
Perfect shell of pure gold.
Never bleeds, never beats,
doesn't hurt, or give heat.
Doesn't cry when alone.
Never lost or at home.
Holding myself tight,
into the darkness of the night.
With moonlight shining on my years,
the life behind me disappears.
Living on as I can,
with no idea or plan.
Breathing in excess air,
trying hard not to care.
There's a room where I stand
with your hand in my hand.
Holding myself tight,
into the darkness of the night.
With moonlight shining on my years,
the life behind me disappears.

My Razor

Come, old friend. Come feel something else.
You've had a long day, and now you're overwhelmed.
I know that you miss the streaks on your wrists.
Just take my handle and hold me to yourself.
Come let everything out...
Open your scars! Empty yourself!
Don't stop tell nothing else ever comes out!
Forget about dreams; surrender to me!
Cause I am your future, and friend, you'll never be free...
Come, old friend. Just give up.
You've tried so hard, now that's enough.
We both know how this story goes.
You'll belong to me, always.
Open your scars! Empty yourself!
Don't stop tell nothing else ever comes out!
Forget about dreams; surrender to me!
Cause I am your future, and friend, you'll never be free...
