Say

They say - boys don’t cry,
Suck it up.
You’ll be fine.
They say - just try
Go with the flow,
Toe the line.
What gives them the right to tell me
How I’m supposed to be?
I don’t need to fit
I don’t need to fake
I don’t need to be anything they say
That’s what I, that’s what I, that's what I
SAY
I speak my mind, I’m not double checking every time I take a step, I’m not worried bout the measure up or all that other stuff, I get my crazy, that’s what makes me, that’s what fucking makes me.
I’m finding balance, grabbing on, I get it right, I get it wrong, I’m pushing back on what they want (cause)
Noone has the right to tell me
How I’m supposed to be.
I don’t need to fit
I don’t need to fake
I don’t need to be anything they say
That’s what I, that’s what I, that's what I
SAY
What gives them the right to tell me
How I’m supposed to be?
I don’t need to fit
I don’t need to fake
I don’t need to be anything they say
That’s what I, that’s what I, that's what I
SAY
That’s what I, that’s what I, that's what I

Listen Up!
03:35
|
|||
Listen up, listen in. (Don’t stop fighting)
We can win if we believe we can.
Im face-down; take a look at me.
I can barely stand; my demons have ahold of me.
I feel rough but not enough to give in.
I’ve lost touch with who I wanna be; but
No matter what I say, It’s me who is the enemy.
I’ll get up, shrug it off, fuck it up over again.
I, I’m not the only one who’s broken, like me
No No No, I’m not the only one, so...
Listen up, listen in. (Don’t stop fighting)
We can win if we believe we can.
Listen up, listen in. (Keep on trying)
We can win if we believe we can.
It seems like there’s a part of me
holding back, so I can never find my self esteem.
I feel rough, but I'm tough and ruthless.
I’ll fight back the insecurity; but
No matter what I say, it’s me who is the enemy.
I’ll get up, shrug it off, fuck it up over again.
I, I’m not the only one who’s broken, like me
No No No, I, I’m not the only one, so...
Listen up, listen in. (Don’t stop fighting)
We can win if we believe we can.
Listen up, listen in. (Keep on trying)
We can win if we believe we can.
Oh I know if I try,
I’ll be fine.
So we just gotta try
To survive
Listen up, listen in. (Don’t stop fighting)
We can win if we believe we can.
Listen up, listen in. (Keep on trying)
We can win if we believe we can.

Feeling Sorry
02:39
|
|||
When you think about yourself how does it feel?
To analyze, and criticize all your ideals,
To survive a land of trends and brands and sex appeal
Always pickin’ every wound you wear; you know
they’ll never heal...
I won’t take this anymore.
That’s not what I’m living for
I’m here to take control
and I’m not feeling sorry
Now you’re lost n’ lashing out; what’s the deal?
Is this just a cry for help, or is it real?
How do you keep moving through this endless battlefield,
Where an image speaks a thousand words but the truth is not revealed
I won’t
take this anymore.
That’s not what I’m living for,
I’m here to take control
And I’m not feeling sorry
I’m not feeling sorry
But the truth ain't dead, it’s caught in a web of doubt;
And it’s fighting for breath in a world that is all strung out
The TV, news feeds, online, live streams,
Look at what they’re pushing now..
I’m tired of all the lies they tell,
n’ sick of all the shit they sell,
I won’t
take this anymore.
That’s not what I’m living for,
I’m here to take control
And I’m not feeling sorry
I can’t
do this anymore.
I was broken to my core,
Now I’m here to take control
And I’m not feeling sorry
I’m not feeling sorry
I’m not feeling sorry

My Nicotine
02:59
|
|||
My head was full, my body weak,
Left without a word to speak.
My shaking hands – I won’t forget
The rush when you lit that cigarette.
I know this heartbeat is killing me,
Slowly, you keep telling me lies.
I’m burning alive,
so cover my face while I break down inside.
I’m on my knees, crashing down
You drag me in, to watch me drown
I’m a god damned fool for what I need,
I can barely breathe. You’re my nicotine
I taste you on my lips;
So caught up in your kiss
I feel you in-between my fingers,
I’m oblivious...
You get the best of me,
Bring out the worst in me,
Then you leave me to die.
I know this heartbeat is killing me,
Slowly, you keep telling me lies.
I’m burning alive,
so cover my face while I break down inside.
I’m on my knees, crashing down
You drag me in, to watch me drown
I’m a god damned fool for what I need,
I can barely breathe. You’re my nicotine
It gives and it takes,
And it loves till it hates
In the spill of the smoke,
When I finally break,
Save me
Save me
I’m on my knees, crashing down
You drag me in, to watch me drown
I’m a god damned fool for what I need,
I can barely breathe.
I’m on my knees, crashing down
You drag me in, to watch me drown
I’m a god damned fool for what I need,
I can barely breathe. You’re my nicotine

Wasted Alone
03:22
|
|||
You’re drunk again, trying to find peace, not just grief, in this hell that we live in
And you know how it ends, you’ll stumble around in this smoke-filled garage, pissin’
Away al of the dread, that you might not get your chance to be somethin’.
You may be wasted, and losing control.
You don’t have to face it, all on your own.
I’ll pick you up, dust you off,
Yeah I want you to know.
You may be wasted, but you’re not wasted alone. You’re not wasted alone.
You’re stoned again, seeking some sanity inside this cage we’ve been given.
I know how it ends; but if you get high enough, maybe you’ll catch what you’re chasing
Away, and all of your doubts will float to the sun and burn up into nothing.
You may be wasted, and losing control.
You don’t have to face it, all on your own.
I’ll pick you up, dust you off,
Yeah I want you to know.
You may be wasted, but you’re not wasted alone. You’re not wasted alone.
You may be wasted, and losing control.
You don’t have to face it, all on your own.
I’ll pick you up, dust you off,
Yeah I want you to know.
You may be wasted, but you’re not wasted alone. You’re not wasted alone.
You’re not wasted alone.

Break Down the Silence
02:52
|
|||
There’s a look in my eyes, I believe.
Full of darkness, it’s stuck in me.
See, it comes, and it goes,
But I’m never alone;
I don't feel like I can ever be free.
There’s a look in my eyes, I believe.
Break down the silence,
So I can take back my fate.
Break down the silence,
So I can find strength again.
Yeah, I’m sick; but I can learn how to be
My own anchor in a desperate time of need.
I’m a mess, oh I know,
But I’m ready to show you
the passion that's fueling me.
There’s a look in my eyes. Can’t you see?
Break down the silence,
So I can take back my fate.
Break down the silence,
So I can find strength again.
Break down the silence,
So I can take back my fate.
Break down the silence,
So I can find strength again.

Meaning of Life
03:28
|
|||
Do you know me anymore? Cuz I feel
Like a wandering ghost, lost in the crowd.
You can trust me it’s not easy to deal
these cards of guilt that I’ve been handed out.
Would you dance with me mother?
Would you look me in the eyes?
Would you smoke with me father;
And tell me the meaning...
Tell me the meaning of life.
Tell me the meaning of life
I know it always feels like it’s been a while;
and the promises I make, they fizzle out.
Since you’re stuck with me as your child;
I want to be the one to make you proud.
Would you dance with me mother?
Would you look me in the eyes?
Would you smoke with me father;
And tell me the meaning...
Tell me the meaning of life.
Tell me the meaning of life
Just one thing, before you go.
Would you tell me an answer
Please tell me, oh tell me
Would you dance with me mother?
Would you look me in the eyes?
And tell me the meaning...
Tell me the meaning of life.
Tell me the meaning of life
Would you dance, would you dance with me?
And tell me the meaning,
Would you dance, would you dance with me?
And tell me the meaning,
The meaning of life.

Hardship to Sail
02:52
|
|||
I’ve spent my life, climbing waves
grabbing on as they slip away
too much sea to navigate
I’m fighting wind, fighting rain
staying true, but I’m afraid
‘n holding on, anyway
It’s a hard ship to sail
When I’m out here in the open,
It’s a hard ship to sail,
When there’s nothing but the ocean
Well, I’ve had more than a couple days
up and down, yea it’s kinda strange
I got stuff … that I really want to change
It’s a hard ship to sail
When I’m out here in the open,
It’s a hard ship to sail,
When there’s nothing but the ocean
It’s a hard ship to sail
When I’m out here in the open,
It’s a hard ship to sail,
When there’s nothing but the ocean
I’m here inside this broken boat
so full’a holes it barely floats;
but I still got this, little bit of rope
I’m here inside a broken boat
so full of holes it barely floats
but I still got this little bit of rope
I’m here inside a broken boat
so full of holes it barely floats
but I still got this little bit of rope
I’m here inside a broken boat
so full of holes it barely floats
but I still got this little bit of rope
It’s a hard ship to sail
When I’m out here in the open,
It’s a hard ship to sail,
When there’s nothing but the ocean
It’s a hard ship to sail
When I’m out here
