Music & Lyrics

  • God, it takes a lot to change a mind 
    Gonna take a lot to change the tide this time 

    I can't believe the air is so thin, I can't breathe
    I must find a place we all can run hide and 
    Escape the fate the others have made
    The ones before us have made

    We can't ignore the place we've been before and 
    Erase the stains from years of waste
    Years of waste... (x3)

    I feel hopeless sometimes
    That we'll never get it right
    And I wonder what might 
    Happen to us if we lose the fight
    But my plan, my plan
    Is to do the best I can

    I have to think 
    Any effort we make can't hurt
    So, at least try to live a good life
    Live a good life live a good life

    I feel hopeless sometimes
    That we'll never get it right
    And I wonder what might 
    Happen to us if we lose the fight
    But my plan, my plan
    Is to do the best I can

    Just do the best you can (x4)

    God, it takes a lot to change a mind 
    Gonna take a lot to change the tide this time

  • Retrace the steps, find the ghost
    Who you seek, I never know
    It's seldom me, but what's beneath
    Scratch, dig, set us free
    Here we go again 

    Try not to let the past dictate the future as it grows
    But I will vindicate you, L.A. Rose

    What's in a name, I'll never say
    You came and went like yesterday
    What's in a name, I'll never say
    You came and went

    Their treachery was meant to be
    The pain did end; we all start again
    It's hard to hate what fate creates
    And so I try, forgive the lie
    That's since set us free

    What's in a name, I'll never say
    You came and went like yesterday
    What's in a name, I'll never say
    You came and went like yesterday

    Try not to let the past dictate the future as it grows
    But I will vindicate you, L.A. Rose

    L.A. Rose
    You came and went like yesterday
    But, here we go again

  • Woke up on a concrete slab 
    Church steps, so it can't be bad
    Birds singing in the sun is bright
    It must a been a hell of a night

    Music playing, people swaying, having all the fun
    No villains on a mission, "only two", I thought
    So I can't understand how I got so far gone

    Woke up in a stranger's bed
    "I took care of you", he said
    Then gave me some good advice:
    Always take the drink, but poor it in the sink
    Back Door was slammin, people jammin’ cuz I was on point
    Their praise and adoration spilled out on the floor
    So, I can't understand how I got so far from home
    My friends told me I just stood up and was gone

    So, watch it!
    Don't set it down
    Some people are creeps
    So look out...

    So, look out!

    Oh, don't be dumb
    No, don't be dumb
    Oh, don't be dumb
    Oh, don't be dumb

    I can't understand how I got so far from home
    My friends told me I just stood up and was gone

    So, watch it!
    Don't set it down
    Some people are creeps, so look out
    Look out!

    Now, watch it!
    Don't set it down
    Some people are creeps, so look out
    No, look out!

    Woke up on a concrete slab
    No pain, so it can't be bad
    Don't think I can get up this time
    Must've been a helluva life

  • Another day in paradise

    But your heart has turned to ice
    You know… you're not alone


    Everything feels like

    The end of the world

    When you're young

     

    And if I told you, "you will be fine"
    Would you take the blame another time?

    No, you're not the one to blame
    I've had it up to here with misplaced shame
    Oh, don't you think it's time
    Don't you think it's time (x2)
    To take back your control
    Take back your control

    I know you're crushed

    But this will fade
    A bullet dodged; you have been saved
    All the heartache not worth the fun
    Trust me this was... not .... the... one
    Not the one

    No, you's not the one to blame
    I've had it up to here with misplaced shame
    Oh, don't you think it's time
    Don't you think it's time (x2)
    To take back your control
    Take back your control

    Another day in paradise, but your heart has turned to ice
    Another day in paradise, but your heart has turned

    No, you's not the one to blame
    I've had it up to here with misplaced shame
    No, oh, don't you think it's time
    Don't you think it's time
    Don't you think it's time
    To take back your control

  • The boy I knew is gone
    He’s disappeared behind another girl…


    The boy I knew is gone
    He’s disappeared behind another girl
    And where did I go wrong?
    Have all the years lost their charms?

    Let me in

    Did I burn too many bridges 
    That once held any meaning between us?
    Cuz you don’t look at me the same
    When did I become lame in your eyes?

    Let me in

    I’ve been away so long

    I don’t know what’s real anymore
    Can you feel me outside of your door?
    And if you don’t let me in

    How will we ever get back 
    To where we were before?

    Oh, I’m coming home
    I don’t know if I belong
    All will be better, be better…
    When you’re with me

    All will be better, be better…
    When you’re with me

  • Jean - do you ever stop and think about it?
    All the things you took for granted

    Do you ever wish you'd...
    Never walked away from this?
    Do you ever wonder...
    Do you ever wonder if?

    Jean - I heard you're living the life among them
    All the things you said you never wanted
    Jean - do you ever stop to think about it?
    All the things you took for granted

    Did they put you in your place?
    Make you want to quit this race?
    Do you think that you're too good?
    Or did you doubt you ever could?

    You shouldn't have walked away
    No, you shouldn't have walked away
    And now you've gone to take her place
    No, you know you shouldn't have walked away

    Jean - do you ever stop and think about it?
    All those things you took for granted
    Jean - do you know that you almost had it?
    All the things you ever wanted

    Do you ever wish you'd...
    Never walked away from this?
    Do you ever wonder...
    Do you ever wonder if?

    You shouldn't have walked away
    You know you shouldn't have walked away
    And now you've gone to take her place
    You're gone - gone, gone, gone

    Jean - do you ever stop and think about it?

  • Try to forget
    They're watching you
    Act as normal as can be
    Or you will raise suspicion, see?

    Don't walk too quickly
    Don't look around

    Eyes on the horizon
    Feet planted firmly on ground
    (on ground)

    Shadows behind you
    Move quickly in
    If they surround you
    Try to blend in

    Eyes on the horizon
    Feet planted firmly on ground

    They're not taking us
    We worked hard for this
    The time has come to rise and fight

    So you got winded
    Pick it up again
    Don't let the dark thoughts drag you down
    Start again

    Eyes on the horizon
    Feet planted firmly on ground

    They're not taking us
    We worked hard for this
    The time has come to rise and fight
    They're not taking us
    We worked too hard for this
    The time has come to rise and
    Come to rise and fight

    Now we've prepared you
    Look within
    Find the voice that speaks to you and
    Let it in

    They're not taking us
    We worked hard for this
    The time has come to rise and fight
    They're not taking us
    We worked too hard for this
    The time has come to rise and
    Come to rise and
    Come to rise and
    Come to rise and fight

  • What would you think if I told you 
    You could still rock out with no one but yourself

    Hello past me, its future me 
    I’m letting you know it’s ok to let go
    All of those things you thought you shouldn’t do, or couldn’t do
    Won’t matter any more, so you might as well do
    What the funk you want
    That’s right, just have fun as long as your fun isn’t hurting anyone
    Just do what you want to do

    Get up! Shake off the numb
    Don’t let yourself be someone who just lets things happen
    Enough is enough
    Wallow for a few days, then get back to life
    Momma says, so it must be right 

    What the funk?

    Now, I know you’re feeling blue and you’re not sure what to do
    So start with 3 things, that will help you sleep
    According to my Tia Juana
    Don’t you wanna do more today than complain about all you can’t do right now?
    Where’s the fun in that anyhow?

    Get up! Shake off the numb
    Don’t let yourself be someone who just lets things happen
    Enough is enough
    Wallow for a few days, then get back to life
    Momma says, so it must be right 
    Get up! Shake off the numb
    Don’t let yourself be someone who just lets things happen
    Enough is enough
    Wallow for a few days, then get back to life
    Momma says, so it must be right 

    Momma says, Momma says
    Momma says, so it must be right

  • I’ve got blurred vision from all these tears
    Looking back on all these years with you
    I hope you knew

    That when you laughed, it made me laugh too
    And when you smiled, it lit up the room
    I miss you, we all do

    Dear 2020: take back your vision
    Dear 2020: take it all back

    I struggle with the right words to say
    There is no perfect way to convey the pain 
    Of losing you

    So, Dear 2020: take back your vision
    Dear 2020: take it all back

    Cuz it’s hard to move on
    Yeah, it’s hard to go on… but we have to
    And it’s ok to be blue
    As long as you laugh too, yeah, you have to
    Cuz he’d want you to

    Dear 2020: take back your vision
    Dear 2020: take it all back
    Dear 2020: take back your perfect vision
    Take it back
    Because I prefer… I prefer mine blurred
    I prefer mine blurred
