Taking tippy toes feeling perilous
Wearing shiny shoes cuz I’m powerless
Never ever knew it would come to this
I’m at the end of my wits and now I’m gonna quit
When there’s no where safe to go
When there’s no where else to be
I can crawl inside me hole
Overdosing on my sleep
Is there anything you need?
Let the music set you free
Times I find it hard to breathe
I wonder if it’s only me
When there’s no where safe to go
When there’s no where else to be
I can crawl inside me hole
Overdosing on my sleep
Is there anything you need?
Let the music set you free
Times I find it hard to breathe
I wonder if it’s only me

Never gonna run away again
Never gonna be the same again
I got a past that I’ve been trying to escape
If I could go back I think I’d change how I was made
I stay consistent I can count on my mistakes
Now there’s no easy way out
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I would never learn my place
Can they see that I’m a fake?
I’m not down for it, I’ve lost the thrill of chase
Now there’s no easy way out
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Getting by and I ain’t got no time for feeling
Life’s a pipe and busy days have got me reeling
I need some energy to keep me on the beam
But I ain’t going nowhere and the cycle doesn’t change
Getting high is not an option for escape
Fears a phantom friend that won’t get out my face
I’m running out of money and I’m tired of the hunting
But wishing isn’t working so I think I’m gonna quit
Can I manifest some meaning?
Whoa whoa
And maybe make a lot of money
Whoa whoa
My mama said it wasn’t easy
Whoa Whoa
But she isn’t really helping
Still I’m running but it seems I’ve hit the ceiling
Bust my skull and now I’m feeling so defeated
Failure is familiar and every day I eat it
Cutting my teeth fueled by low self esteem
Running running running running
Chasing nothing
No amount of power could ever be enough man
Nothing gets accomplished and I’m so unproductive
Can’t I just be happy where I’m at?
Can I manifest some meaning?
Whoa whoa
And maybe make a lot of money
Whoa whoa
My mama said it wasn’t easy
Whoa Whoa
But she isn’t really helping

Little Man

Little man
Taller than an anthill
Little man
Thoughts are all to conquer
Little man
You live a little life alone
Little man
Wanna live forever
Little man
Decide to be a father
Little man
As small as anything you know
Want the world to be your way
And everyone to fall in place
Little man
Wanna have his own land
Little man
Wanna be his own man
Little man
You win a little life alone
Little man
Shrinking as the days end
Little man
No animal is chasing
Little man
As small as everything he knows
Want the world to be your way
And everyone to fall in place
Little man lost in space
Where there’s your will there’s no way
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Want the world to be your way
And everyone to fall in place
Little man lost in space
Where there’s your will there’s no way
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh

BAD OPERATION

You already lost the game
With your neighbor to blame
Cuz it’s easy to look away
And to say we’re not the same
It’s the 80 20
The numbers never change
Oh by now we’ve natured and nurtured our fate
As we enter decay
In the latter stage
Oh by now we’ve natured and nurtured our fate
Bad operation unsubscribe
Bad motivation in my mind
Bad operation unsubscribe
Bad motivation in my mind
Some wait some go
Some just complain
Some try to make their own change
We make waste and war
Forgetting the poor
A birthright to go get what’s yours
It’s the 80 20
The numbers never change
Oh by now we’ve natured and nurtured our fate
As we enter decay
In the latter stage
Oh by now we’ve natured and nurtured our fate

Siren's Call
03:05
|

Early morning dark and stormy
I can hear the sirens call me
My body wants to warn me
And my body’s busy worrying
The change left a stain
When she flew away
Had to let that bird fly
I don’t wanna fight
I don’t think I’m gonna get to sleep to night
I don’t think I’m gonna get to eat tonight
Where the city lights eclipse the sky
I don’t think I’m gonna get to sleep tonight
Now my evil is arrested
But my sirens wanna test it
I could eat through up all my demons
And drink through all my stresses
The change left a stain
When she flew away
Had to let that bird fly
I don’t wanna fight
I don’t think I’m gonna get to sleep tonight
I don’t think I’m gonna get to eat tonight
Where the city lights eclipse the sky
I don’t think I’m gonna get to sleep tonight

Baby in Arms

Something scary is
Moving through the air
Light a candle
For the souls who passed
Something tells me
Good is coming
A feeling way down deep
tells me we’ll be
Alright
We’ll be alright
Something tells me
We will be alright
I’ll be easy
And sleep like a baby tonight
Baby tonight
Ohahohahooo
(Mmmmmm ah)
(There’s very little I can count on except going to sleep at the end of the day)
(And it is so wonderful to be in bed)
(The one constant for me is sleep)
(And then I'll die)
(Die!)
Something tells me
We will be alright
I’ll be easy
And sleep like a baby tonight
I knoooooo woah oh
I knoooooo woah oh
Like a baby tonight

Fish Out of Water
02:11
|

My mojo’s right where I left it
In the beer bottle dregs
Since I cancelled my prescription
My mind has been a mess
Fish out of water
Flopping on the coast
Made a castle of discomfort
That I’m gonna make my home
Knowing nothing but I wanna have it all
I don’t think much of me
I’m all I ever think about
Ohhh ohhh
I wanna have it all
Ohhh ohh
I’m all I ever think about
Ohhh ohh
I wanna have it all
Ohhh ohh
I’m all I ever think about
Whooooo ohh ohhh oh ohhh
As I try to reel it in
Whooooo ohh ohhh oh ohhh
Slowly sinking from the surface
Seeking something from within
Learning hurts me when I earned it
Cuz I’m too afraid to fail
Fish out of water
Flopping on the coast
Made a castle of discomfort
That I’m gonna make my home
Knowing nothing but I wanna have it all
I don’t think much of me
I’m all I ever think about
Ohhh ohhh
I wanna have it all
Ohhh ohh
I’m all I ever think about
Ohhh ohh
I wanna have it all
Ohhh ohh
I’m all I ever think about
Whooooo ohh ohhh oh ohhh
Whooooo ohh ohhh oh ohhh
My mojo’s right where I left it
In the beer bottle dregs
Since I cancelled my prescription
I’ve been happier with less
