"The Truth"

"The Truth"


And I've collected all these thoughts
And I'm dying just to lose them
And if your words are true or not
I'll die trying to prove them
But I'll just have to accept
That my mind is so inept
And the only thing that's left
For me to do is to trust you

Convince me
Because I really need your help
Oh convince me
Because I can't see this for myself

I'll put the emphasis on the evidence
Begging for the proof
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth

This is so unnerving
I know you've never lied to me before
But the things you're telling me
I can't yet believe
Yet can't ignore
But I'll just have to accept
That my mind is so inept
And the only thing that's left
For me is to trust you

Put the emphasis on the evidence
Begging for the proof
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth
Attempt to place our lives into your hands
Confide in what you'll do
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth

It's a world full of cynics
Who say to stay alive in it
You gotta stick with what you know
But the soul is always aching
For the heart to start taking
A chance by letting go

So let go
Let go
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth
Attempt to place our lives into your hands
Confide in what you'll do
Cause sometimes when you're trying to sleep
And all your doubts and your faith don't agree its cause
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth

"The Vinyl Countdown"

"The Vinyl Countdown"


So to the best, to the best
Of our knowledge we
Fight for technology
So back when our parents were in college we
Weren't even born and neither were CD's
So when our folks listened to the record
They gather 'round and spun them on the turntables
But these days the records are all worthless
'cause the DJ's spin them on purpose

[Chorus]
So let's put this in a perspective
In day in which we live in
It's all the same with the kids no one knows what vinyl is
These days they burn the MP3's
Onto their stacks of blank CD's
And the records still stay in this world
It's the same with all the kids 'cause no one knows what vinyl is

These day the kids are so ignorant
They have no clue what to do with the selenage
They say it won't play it's my CD players fault
I'll kick it to the park and play some frisbee golf
I try to burn it like the all the CD's
But what the heck look at all this mess

[Chorus]
So let's put this in a perspective
In the day in which we live in
It's all the same with all the kids no one knows what vinyl is
These days they burn the MP3's
Onto their stacks of blank CD's
And the records still stay in this world
It's all the same with all the kids 'cause no one know what vinyl is

[Chorus]
So let's put this in a perspective
In the day in which we live in
It's all the same with all the kids 'cause no one knows what vinyl is

"Therapy"

"Therapy"


I never thought I'd be driving through the country just to drive
With only music and the clothes that I woke up in
I never thought I'd need all this time alone it goes to show
I had so much yet I had need for nothing
But you

This is just therapy
Let's call it what it is
(Not what we were)
With a death-grip on this life always transitioning
This is just therapy
Cause you won't take my calls
and that makes God the only one who's left here listening to me

Letting it all sink in
It's good to feel a sting now and again
I hope it's one less woeful thing there is to fight through
Forgetting it all begin
Fresh paper and nice expensive pen
The past can not subtract a thing from what I might do
For you
Unless that's what I let it do

Loneliness and solitude are two things not to get confused
Cause I spend my solitude with you
I gather all the questions of the things I just can't get straight
And I answer them the way I guess you'd do

Cause this is my therapy
Cause you're the only one that's listening to me
This is my therapy
Let's call it what it is not what we were
With a death-grip on this life that's in transition
This is my therapy
Cause you won't hear me out
and that makes God the only one who's left here listening

"There Was Another Time In My Life"

"There Was Another Time In My Life"


I know that I've come a long way
My heart's headed in the right place
But sometimes your past's hard to face
But now I know you

There was another time in my life [x3]
Before I knew you

I sailed through the high winds and waves
I wondered if I could be saved
But I have emerged unscathed
Because I know you

There was another time in my life [x3]
Before I knew you

Before I knew you
Before I could see
That you could take all my troubles from me
Before I knew you
I was so incomplete

There was another time in my life [x3]
Before I knew you

There was another time in my life [x3]
Before I knew you

I was incomplete

"There Was No Thief"

"There Was No Thief"


For a time I thought there was a thief among us
I thought I'd track him down but prior to my pursuit
The smoke had cleared and to my disbelief
There was no thief cause it was me
That lost you

I guess it's safe to say you're never coming back (Oh oh oh oh)
And I understand why you wouldn't want to (Oh oh oh oh)
I guess it's up to me to find a way to get to you

And there's just one last thing that I have to say
As we reflect on the mess of all of this I've made
It was cowardice that made me push you away
I was so afraid cause you were so much better than me

And I can't see you
Getting used to
Living in the midst of your perfection
And I'm so lost
How can you trust
Somewhere the sun is always shining?

Oh
Oh

And there's just one last thing that I have to say
As we reflect on the mess of all of this I've made
It was cowardice that made me push you away
I was so afraid cause you were so much better than me

I guess it's safe to say you're never coming back

"This Is The End"

"This Is The End"


I can't keep a straight face and say this is not the end
not if you want it its upon us and I wanna say it's sinking in

This may sound crazy but I want to come back home
That's it I said it now I'm sailing off to Neverland and then Japan

So think real slow
Don't forget that yes is yes and no is no
About the way you want to go
Cause I may forget the way to get back home
This is the end if you want it

You're not the first thing in my life I've loved and lost
Yeah I've thought worse things that I might be less inclined to merely just shrug off
I took the fire escape and made it out alive
Yeah I still burn from time to time but I've a healing hand against my side

So think real slow
Don't forget that yes is yes and no is no
About the way you want to go
Cause I may forget the way to get back home
This is the end if you want it
This is the end if you want it
and this is the end

"This Week The Trend"

"This Week The Trend"


And this week the trend
was to not wake up till 3pm
I picked the few conscious hours that I chose to spend
and slept away the rest of them

and this week the trend
was to crash and burn and then return again
to practice the life that I pretend
provides enough to get me through the weekend

so I say
get me a solution
and watch me run with it
and then you gave
you gave me a solution
what have I done with it
cause I was absolutely sure I had it all figured out
way back then
and now it's this minute, this hour, this day

And this week the trend
was to backstab every single one of my friends
and leave a voicemail message trying to make amends
all the while hoping things work out in the end

and this week the trend
was to borrow all the strength that you could lend
to keep my head above the water and not descend
back to where I said I'd never go again

So I say
give me a solution
and watch me run with it
and then you gave
you gave me a solution
what have I done with it
cause I was absolutely sure I had it all figured out
way back then
but after this day it's this week all over again

And I just want to get mugged at knifepoint
to get cut enough to wake me up
cause I know that I don't want to die
sitting around watching my life go by
and what we take from this is what we'll get and we haven't quite figured it out just yet
because all of us are all too stuck
strapped to a chair watching our lives blow up
stuck watching our lives blow up

"Those Words Are Not Enough"

"Those Words Are Not Enough"


feelings, inside my head
i don't know, but i'm thinking about you
understand that it's so hard to tell you, cause you already know
you already know
when it's twice as hard to realize
that i'm still trying twice as hard to satisfy myself on my own

and i'm still waiting for things to change
i lay my life before you, and i'm not getting up
father, how i adore you
those words are not enough
father, know i love you, and know i am wrong
Lord, please take my life
make me your son
make me your son

"Trademark"

"Trademark"


I think it might just be alright
To leave what matters out of sight
Old habits die hard holding on
Inevitable means it's never gone

[Bridge]
Told myself what I need to hear
I think the point was very clear
I showed me what we'd missed since we
Slipped into inconsistency

[Chorus]
It's my, my trademark move
To turn my back on you
It's my, my trademark move
To realize I should improve

And sometime soon after that
You'll see me come crawlin back

I'll kill the thing that turns me away
Amputate the arm that will disobey
Withdraw from everything that's hurting me
Until you finish your work in me

[Bridge]
[Chorus]

And sometime soon after that
You'll see me come crawlin back

[Chorus x2]

Ans sometime soon after that
You'll see me come crawlin back

w/ surround sound you found that you hear it all
when it all comes thru i hear you say so dude
"i never thought money really mattered to you"
when all the kings horses and all the kings men took all the kings credit and they started to spend
it all on the worthlessness a tragedy went
"your moving in with your aunty and uncle in bel aire"

ladies and gentlemen, the worst freestyle rapper ever
