Listen To Me 04:22
When I finally lost my mind I was drifting to sleep I was singing that song that you wrote for me I don't remember a single road we were on the journey that took us past the breaking dawn I don't know you and you don't me this is no longer a test this is reality Listen to me and I'll listen to you It's easy enough when you asked me too At one point days were important to me But I can't seem to remember why i would want them to be March 5th wasn't a typical tuesday for me I remember that date it isn't easy for me oh can't you see? My days got short but my nights got long I never could sleep I was always lying wrong What's wrong with me Listen to me and I'll listen to you It's easy enough when you asked me too I remember waking up that morning and I couldn't get out of bed I remember waking up colder with a pain deep in my head I knew it wasn’t my fault but I messed up again maybe I can get better or maybe this is the end. Listen to me and I'll listen to you It's easy enough when you asked me too

Someday 03:04
I am my own villain trying to hold on and If I am not willing you know that I am wrong Some things I can't ignore that's what I fear most And even when I'm poor I want to be the host Someday, I'll stumble on the truth Someday, when this is all through I'll have something to do, a little more for you The shape that we are in, is troublesome at best. But when I look at you, it's gone like all the rest. Things could be much worse, it's true I have no plans. I may have at one time, that was before I was a man. Someday, I'll stumble on the truth Someday, when this is all through I'll have something to do, a little more for you What I done before, has brought me to the floor. Get inside my head, before you go to bed. Know that you are sure, before you close the door. I guess I missed a sign, perhaps you'll go and run and hide. Someday, I'll stumble on the truth Someday, when this is all through I'll have something to do, a little more for you

Lately, I've been dreaming nightly and they all just seem to fright me and I need you to say. That I'm stronger them They take me again You'll be here till the end They never thought we’d say. Where ever we go well lay down on the road and well kiss so slow just to say so. Hold on Hold on Let's get a move on. Hold on Hold on Let's get a move on. Hold on Hold on Let's get outta this town. Lately, I've been watching tv and the news will stop and scare me Now I can't leave my bed. Some pictures and sounds and these groups of frowns I need you to around to say it fake. Hold on Hold on Let's get a move on. Hold on Hold on Let's get a move on. Hold on Hold on Let's get outta this town. Hold on Hold on Let's get a move on. Hold on Hold on Let's get a move on. Hold on Hold on Let's get outta this town.

The Ground 03:45
I threw my clothes on in the dark. I heard my mom saying that you had called. Colder than ever before The second I woke up I think I knew what was in store. I am old enough now, I can finally see your feet leaving the ground. I am old enough now, I can finally see your feet leaving the ground. The ground The ground You said you'd live on forever Why would I believed that at all. We ran downstairs and that's where you were You were no longer anybody, You were just a body on the floor. I am old enough now, I can finally see your feet leaving the ground. I am old enough now, I can finally see your feet leaving the ground. The ground The ground

Rain falling on the roof, Hope it gets better soon. I’ve been stuck here three days, Wanna feel the sun’s warm rays. My fevers gone, I’d go out if I could. No matter what, I just feel no good. Someone please take care of me tonight. I can’t sleep oh please turn out the light. My body’s in so much pain, Makes me go insane. Medicine’s all I got, How do I know to stop? I am barely breathing what can I do? If you had this you’d be tired too! Someone please take care of me tonight. I can’t sleep so please turn out the light. Can’t stop sleeping, All day long, Have no reason, So come along. Ginger Ale’s getting warm, Can’t fill out my forms. The world's ground to a halt, Can’t help thinking it's my fault. The heat comes on but I’m still freezing cold. ‘Fraid I have to put my life on hold. Someone please take care of me tonight. I can’t sleep so please turn out the light.

Your Cards 01:24
I just turned 23, I got very little left in me. I was waiting here for your cards, I guess it can't travel that far. and I know that you can see me be just the man I started to be. and I hope I made you proud I hope I see you now. Smiling down at me at me Hold on now, I'm upside down trying to reach my feet Last time I checked I had a little regret and always kept it beneath me And I hope that someday I'll feel complete, Now I hope someday I'll feel complete.

Are you satisfied with this self disguise? or should I just go back to loosing my mind. Is it self demise? to tell you why I fell for you or do you need a sign? There was a diamond ring, for this perfect thing. But when did it turn? Leaving me blind. I don’t wanna love you, anymore. I’m finally ready to get back off this floor. And I don’t want to cry, anymore. I’m done with all these feelings I’ve had before. This Horascope is a fucking joke. I can't believe these things They're just full of lies The sacrifice, Isn't it nice? But it's how I felt, when you threw me aside. This is the second time, That you crossed my mind. Since you said goodbye, and now I wanna cry. I don’t wanna love you, anymore. I’m finally ready to get back off this floor. And I don’t want to cry, anymore. I’m done with all these feelings I’ve had before. You don’t know how I feel. Now that you left I have to deal. I don’t wanna love you, anymore. I’m finally ready to get back off this floor. And I don’t want to cry, anymore. I’m done with all these feelings I’ve had before.

Someone said, like the way you sound tonight. And they said, you don't look quite right. You're to young for us, You're not someone we could trust. I'm sorry you missed the bus. On To The Next One I just know, I could do that in my sleep. Give me a change,= I’m not in to deep. Sorry please don't reply. Give someone else a try. Thanks for your interest goodbye. On To The Next One Telling me, you only need half my time. 40 to 15 hours, that's a crime. Not what you're hoping for. budget don't allow for more. Don't like it theres always the door. On To The Next One

I thought it was a normal day, till you started to slip away. Now I'm wondering the last thing, that I said to you. Did I scream? Did I yell? Did I shout my way to hell, like I do? O don't you know O don't you know That I need you That I need you And all the little things that you do The shrine of the sacred heart, Is what keeps me away. That's when I noticed it's been a long time, Since I prayed. Maybe I'll change, maybe I'll get better but I doubt it I'm not the weather. O don't you know O don't you know That I need you That I need you And all the little things that you do Showing so much love for me love for me Momma I love ya, Our bond as strong as ya love is, Thinking bout ya if wonderin, About how far that ya son is.... Peep just how far the moon is, A view as beautiful as you miss, Space in my heart, exclusive, A star is what you produced and... You helped me reach my conclusions, 'Fore I reached in ya fridge, Was little, this it's literal, That your the reason I live..., And that being said, I'm sorry for excuses, All the speeding tickets, in ya car lookin stupid, Always hard-headed, still hard to reduce it, Still you encouraged, when I started with this music.... Believe in me, I know, Hope one day I'll be as strong, Before I see you go, If you don't, you need to know...love you. What you've done for me, Showing so much love for me, O don't you know O don't you know That I need you That I need you And all the little things that you do

Already Gone 02:43
Packed my bag last night. Nothing left for me. There is a whole wide world out there that I'd like to see. So, tie your shoes. Get out of bed. Can we choose the road instead? I know we left all except for I'm already gone. Lord I hate my job, happy that I got one. But ask me on a day like this I'm way past done. I wish I could, quit today. Then it would keep me sane. Stand by me while I proclaim. I'm already gone.

People are always telling me, the money they think that I will need. Just to pay my fines, I think I'll be just fine. When I'm reaching out, for the hands of time. You always fast forward, but I want to rewind. I wish I knew you, when I was young. There so many things that we could of done. I wish I knew you, when I was young. Maybe then I could have been the only one. I wish sometimes I felt right, even when I know I'm not right. Is it to much to ask? How should i even ask? When I'm reaching out, for the hands of time You'll take yours but I won't take mine. I wish I knew you, when I was young. We have left too many songs, unsung. I wish I knew you, when I was young. Maybe then I could have been the only one.
