Pressure

Lust, Lust has a lonely face
Trust, Trust is like gold these days
Love, True love is crystal clear
Truth, Truth is I need you dear
Who knew... who knew that I'd find someone like
You... Who knew? Who knew?
Helter Skelter, Head for the shelter
Mind is racing, can't deal with pressure
Faster, farther, soon you're a father
Blink your eyes, and soon you're a goner
Drugs, drugs lend a greasy hand
Love, Yours is the best I've had
Time, a portrait of souvenirs
Truth, I'll never leave you dear
Who knew... who knew that I'd find someone like
You... Who knew? Who knew?
Helter Skelter, Head for the shelter
Mind is racing, can't deal with pressure
Faster, farther, soon you're a father
Blink your eyes, and soon you're a goner
I'm not over it...
I'm not over it...
I'm not over it..
I'm not over it...
Helter Skelter, Head for the shelter
Mind is racing, can't deal with pressure
Faster, farther, soon you're a father
Blink your eyes, and soon you're a goner

The Hard Way

Another puzzle piece that never fit the mold
Another fringe along the fold
A choice to play the game just like a mouse trapped in a maze
Or choose to learn to use your brain
I get the feeling I'm fleeing from the machine
And what I mean is that I'm taking a beating so I can be free
From all the prying and lying in the society
Sobriety is hiding the riot I've got inside of me
I get the feeling I'm fleeing from the machine
And what I mean is that I'm taking a beating so I can be free
From all the prying and lying in the society
Sobriety is hiding the riot I've got inside of me
I learned the hard way,
But I think I've finally found
The missing piece inside of me
Well, I walked the wrong way,
And I got spun around
I lost track of my own feet
Ahhhh…. Ahhhh
I get the feeling I'm fleeing from the machine
And what I mean is that I'm taking a beating so I can be free
From all the prying and lying in the society
Sobriety is hiding the riot I've got inside of me
I learned the hard way,
But I think I've finally found
The missing piece inside of me
Well, I walked the wrong way,
And I got spun around
I lost track of my own feet
All it takes is better days
To sort through all of my mistakes
Somewhere, I know there's peace and clarity
But I've been burnt out
Like a million matches, my lungs are filled with smoke
My heart's as good as broke,
And I'm trying not to choke!
I learned the hard way,
But I think I've finally found
The missing piece inside of me
Well, I walked the wrong way,
And I got spun around
I lost track of my own feet

Home

You're the drug, I'm the addict
You've become my irresistible habit
You're the coffee shot that starts each morning
The final thought before I'm snoring
You hold me captive
I'm the crook and you're the captain
You're the only one I think I've ever known
Who can make me feel like I'm at…
Home
(Ohhh.... Ohhh... Ohhh..)
You are the strength inside my soul
You are the marrow in my bones
You are the bricks and mortar that built this home
You're the doctor when I'm damaged
You patch me up and kiss the bandage
You're the trophy to the trial
You're the truth to my denial
You're the compass when I'm lost
You're the bridge that I can cross
You're the burning torch inside me
You're the North Star that will guide me...
Home
(Ohhh.... Ohhh... Ohhh..)
You are the strength inside my soul
You are the marrow in my bones
You are my rock, you are my stone
You are the bricks and mortar that built this home
Brick by brick, you built this home
And stitch by stitch the quilt was sewn
And I'm so in love with you
Yeah I'm so in love with you
Brick by brick, you built this home
And stitch by stitch the quilt was sewn
And I'm so in love with you
Yeah I'm so in love with you
You're the answer to my question
You're the cure to my depression
You’re the patience that I need
You are the hope I fail to see
You’re the teacher, I am the lesson
You’re the chords to my progression
You’re the heart that's on my sleeve
You're the prescription that I need
Home
(Ohhh.... Ohhh... Ohhh..)
You are the strength inside my soul
You are the marrow in my bones
You are my rock, you are my stone
You are the bricks and mortar that built this home

Broken Wings
04:24
|

You tell me I'm a bird with broken wings
You say I'm like a kite without a string
You say I'm like an engine without oil
You say I'm like a flower without soil
Well I've got one thing to say
(Ohhh…. Ohhh…)
Before you learn to walk you learn to crawl
(Ohhh..... Ohhh....)
Before you learn to trust you learn to fall
I may not be perfect
But I'm not okay with taking blame for every bruise
(Ohhh..... Ohhh....)
Before you learn to love you learn to lose... to lose…
Learn to lose
You tell me I'm a clover with no luck
You say I'm like a song that never stuck
You say I'm like a script without a theme
You tell me I'm a boy without a dream
Well I've got one thing to say
(Ohhh..... Ohhh....)
Before you learn to walk you learn to crawl
(Ohhh..... Ohhh....)
Before you learn to trust you learn to fall
I may not be perfect
But I'm not okay with taking blame for every bruise
(Ohhh..... Ohhh....)
Before you learn to love you learn to lose
I'm not a bird with broken wings, no no no
I'm not a kite without a string... no no no NO!
(Ohhh..... Ohhh....)
Before you learn to walk you learn to crawl
(Ohhh..... Ohhh....)
Before you learn to trust you learn to fall
I may not be perfect
But I'm not okay with taking blame for every bruise
(Ohhh..... Ohhh....)
Before you learn to love you learn to lose... to lose…
Learn to lose
You’re a bird with broken wings
A kite without a string
You’re an engine without oil
A flower without soil
You’re a clover with no luck
You’re a song that never stuck
You’re a script without a theme
A boy without a dream

Sunset City
04:03

Madeline packed her bags for Sunset City
For a life that looked so pretty
In all the Craigslist ads she scoped
She drove out west with dreams to be a star
To see her name on the boulevard
The paparazzi causing strokes
But Madison leeched around through the crowded streets
Holding cardboard with cans at her feet
A name change she tried to hide
“Two Jacksons and a ten” is what she'd say
Selling love to the creeps who could pay
The failed auditions broke her pride
Different address
Different name
Same old sadness
Same old shame
No more letters sent from home
No more friends to call when feeling down
And feeling so alone
Angela met Miguel and they eloped
She got a spot on a daytime soap
Her big break for all to see
She forced the tears and tried to play the scene
Faking accents on Spanish TV
Trading love for time on screen
Jessica stroked her way to softcore pornos
And she wondered what all the fuss was
When she came home Christmas Day
A look of hatred beamed from Daddy's eyes
The little girl that he baptized
Is just a pretty pair of thighs
Different address
Different name
Same old sadness
Same old shame
No more letters sent from home
No more friends to call when feeling down
And feeling so alone
Jennifer grew attached to coke and Beam
Nursing bottles to blow off the steam
It kept the voices from her head
Eviction letters piled in her apartment
And when she woke up on the carpet
Spilled wine had stained it red
Different address
Different name
Same old sadness
Same old shame
No more letters sent from home
No more friends to call when feeling down
And feeling so alone
