Life Goes On
03:42

Some days don’t make much sense
Some days it makes me want to scream
Some days I swear
I’d burn the whole thing down
If I had a match and gasoline
Things don’t always go the way you want
But life goes on
I’ve had my share of failure
I’ve tasted success
I’ve loved and lost and given up
And learned to love again
It’s taught me to cherish what I’ve got
Life goes on
Life goes on, it doesn’t sleep
It doesn’t wait for you and me
Quick as it kicks you down
It picks you up again
Every day’s another chance
To wipe the slate clean start again
A chance to make the most of every moment
Life goes on

It’s plain to see
That some things never change
If I came back in a million years
Chances are you’d still be sitting here
Collecting thoughts
And crafting clever speeches
Ready to pontificate
At anyone who’ll lend a willing ear
Do you still mix fact with fiction?
Does your own voice still make you smile?
Those echos are the sound of no one listening
Ambition’s made you blind
Your life’s a cautionary tale
How to die alone and broken
How to die alone and broken
Nobody thinks they’ll end up quite like this
From picture postcard perfect looking life
To broke and bitter on the skids
But you pulled it off
And now you’re pointing fingers
Blaming everyone but you
For why you wound up here
Reality is not your strong suit
You think that if you say the sun won’t rise
The ones you’re supposed to love the most
You turned into the victims of your
Self-serving lies
How to die alone and broken
How to die alone and broken
You can’t rewrite the past
There ain’t no going back
And you probably wouldn’t if you could
How to die alone and broken
How to die alone and broken
When you gonna realize
You’re the one behind your own demise
Alone and broken
How to die alone and broken
Did you think that you could walk away?
Did you really think you wouldn’t have to pay
Alone and broken
How to die alone and broken

Sideways
03:37
|

It’d be a lie if I said
I have no regrets about the life
I made with you
But it’s untrue when you say
You can’t take the blame after our life
Went up in flames
And now it’s all gone sideways
All that we can do is walk away
Even though it’s all gone sideways
It’s always on my mind
I know my heart was yours
But were you ever mine
I heard you say
You and I would always be together til your dying day
Then overnight it
Seems you changed your mind
And now I’m sifting through
The wreckage of our life
And now it’s all gone sideways
All that we can do is walk away
Even though its all gone sideways
It’s always on my mind
I know my heart was yours
But were you ever mine
Thought I found my happy ending
I never thought i’d wind up here
I’ve heard broken hearts can mend
So I know i’ll be better in the end
Now it’s all gone sideways
All that we can do is walk away
Even though its all gone sideways
It’s always on my mind
I know my heart was yours, but tell me
‘Cause it’s all gone sideways
It’s always on my mind
I know my heart was yours
But were you ever mine
It’d be a lie if i said i have no regrets

As Damaged As You Are
03:16

Don’t you wonder what’s inside?
What’s behind these empty eyes?
Can’t you see I’m just like you?
Can’t you see I’m broken too?
Ever wonder what I hide?
What’s behind these plastic smiles?
Take another look at me
You’ll see the arrogance and apathy
Can’t you see I’m just like you?
Can’t you see I’m broken too?
A mask can hide these scars of mine
It doesn’t change the fact that I’m
As damaged as you are
I’m as damaged as you are

After I'm Gone
04:09
|

I've had all that I can take
Taken more than I can bear
I don’t know where I’m going
But I know i can’t stay here
I’m making my escape
I’ve got myself a plan
I’m gonna find a place
Where you don’t get to tell me who I am
If it’s true that moving on’s the hardest part of letting go
I think it’s probably best that I dont stay
But I know that I’ll feel
A hole in my heart where you used to be
After I’m gone
And I hope that yours will bleed
A little every time you think of me
After I’m gone
After I’m gone
I think I’ll head east of the Rockies
South to nearly Mexico
Try to figure out where things went wrong
I’ll ponder how my heart got broken
But I wont give up my hope
In time and distance
Mending all the damaged parts
I never thought that life would take me too far from my home
i hope I can find my way back one day
But I know that I’ll feel
A hole in my heart where you used to be
After I’m gone
And I hope that yours will bleed
A little every time you think of me
After I’m gone
After I’m gone
But I know that I’ll feel
A hole in my heart where you used to be
And I hope that yours will bleed
A little every time you think of me
After I’m gone
After I’m gone

Misspent
04:26
|
|||
I’m an average man full of hopes and ambitions
Sitting in a small house in a small town wondering
If dreams have a shelf life and if mine have expired
More and more as days go by
I think about the narrow line between a man’s potential
And the emptiness of things he never tries
And it leads me to the question of where the time went
There are no ready answers, but I hope that it wasn’t misspent
I really haven’t got a clue about where the time went
There are no ready answers, but I hope that it wasn’t misspent
I could find sycophants and suck-ups to easily impress
‘Til my delusions of grandeur are all that I have left
Or I could join the teeming mass of quiet, desperate men
Just going through the motions right until they reach the end
It seems a waste of time
I don’t want mine misspent
I’m an average man full of hopes and ambitions
Sitting in a small house in a small town wondering
And it leads me to the question of where the time went
There are no ready answers, but I hope that it wasn’t misspent
I really haven’t got a clue about where the time went
There are no ready answers, but I hope that it wasn’t misspent

Sleep
04:02

Another day gone
One less to get through
Another chance to obsess
Another chance to second guess
Another chance to question your every thought
To blame yourself for whatever’s wrong
I pray you find peace
Sleep
Don’t hold on so tight
I pray you find peace
Sleep
Leave the past to die
Another day gone
Another night beckons
Another chance to rest
Another chance to disconnect
Another chance to learn how to let things go
To accept what you cannot control
I pray you find peace
Sleep
Don’t hold on so tight
I pray you find peace
Sleep
Leave the past to die
Tomorrow may well be
A replay of today
But for now, find peace
Sleep
Sometimes truth can be found in reflection
Life is wasted without introspection
Tell me, what is the point of obsession
Over things you can never, never, never change?
I pray you find peace
I pray you find peace
Sleep
I pray you find peace
Sleep
Don’t hold on so tight
I pray you find peace
Sleep
Leave the past to die
Tomorrow may well be
A replay of today
But for now, find peace
But for now, find peace
But for now, find peace
Sleep
