Fun Guy
02:30

Hello it’s me and I’m kicking down the door
It’s a better version of the one who came before
I’ve been working hard on my mental health
to forgive the past and try and love myself
I could quit not even try
But that’s not me it’s not my style
So I’m here to tell you why
I could be a real fun guy
Wanna be someone you don’t recognize
At a costume party not wearing a disguise
Put away my fangs and shed all my skin
And do my best to find myself again
I could quit not even try
But that’s not me it’s not my style
So I’m here to tell you why
That I can be a real fun guy
I could quit
Yeah I could die
I could hang my head and cry
So I’m here to tell you why
I can be a real fun guy

Big Dogs
02:55
|

Feeling so frustrated
Cuz you can’t say a word
But you know what I’m sayin
Even tho it sounds absurd
But you’re just out there playing
With no fucks to give
You spend the whole day layin’
Yeah that’s the way you live
You don’t have the cry all the time
I’ll do my best to read your mind
So glad I found you
Yeah it must be a sign
Run with you as we cross the finish line
I didn’t think I’d like you
Cos of the sharpness of your teeth
But there’s nothing you can’t bite through
To see what’s underneath
I needed some healing
Someone to lick my wounds
To find that finer feeling
To improve all my moods
“Alright, where all my big dogs at?”
I’ve got you you’ve got me and I think we can all agree
There’s no place rather be in this space made for you and me

Falling In To Place
03:22
|
|||
I had to put myself to bed
So I can wake and rise again
Resurrected from the dead
I knew I always would
I had to put my past to bed
And focus on today instead
Got to get right in the head
And now it’s understood
I used to justify all my bad moves
And now I modify and feel the groove
Instead of falling on my face
I’ll be dancing as I’m falling into place
I had to put myself on blast
Couldn’t let myself get away with that
Instead of acting like an ass
Like I knew I sometimes would
It’s time to clean up my act
And find my way to the right track
And there’s no way I’m going back even if I could
No regrets
Can’t forget
It’s part of me now
No disguise
And No surprise
That I can’t allow

Feeling Alright
02:05
|
|||
When you’re stuck in a maze
When you’re a rat in a cage
Are you feeling alright?
When all you do is complain
If you’re hit by a train
Are you feeling alright?
Feeling alright
When you feel inside out
When you scream and you shout
Are you feeling alright?
When you rattle your brain
If you’re a crashing plane
Are you feeling alright
Feeling alright
At any moment you feel like you can come unglued
You gotta try changing up your attitude
When the heat is on and your brain starts to bubble
You gotta make a change to get out of trouble
So yr feeling alright

Click Wars
02:30
|
|||
You got lotta theories about how things should be
With a click of a button you share the latest meme
But you spend a lot of time just staring at a screen
Instead of getting off your ass and saying what you mean
You go around talking to all of your friends
You’re telling everybody how the world is gonna end
But you won’t lift a finger, no you can’t even bend
It’s easier to bitch than just pitch in
You see another headline but you don’t wanna wait
So you hit the share button cos you always take the bait
But you don’t wanna get into another debate
Cuz you never listen and now it’s too late
You’ll see it another way

Vulnerabilities
03:25
|
|||
I was trying to find that missing piece of mind
But this whole time it was right in front of me
If I’m jealous and unkind or not properly aligned
Blame it on my insecurity
Don’t wanna hide but I need to think
I’d rather cry than have a drink
It’s ok to go get some therapy
I’ve gotta look inside myself
Not inside someone else
Now everybody sees my vulnerabilities
The ship is down please send some help
I was trying to find myself
But it seems as if I am lost at sea
So I’ll put it on a shelf in the name of mental health
Cuz you don’t deserve all my energy
There’s no way around it
Can’t go under too
The only way is to go right through

In Control
02:42
|
|||
All I wanted to have was some control
All I want is the time back that you stole
It was a wrong that was right under my nose
All I wanted to have was some control
Wanna be in control
From the bottom of my soul
Make a diamond out of coal
And get out of this hole
Want some authority
All I want is to be me
Maybe I could pull some strings
Maybe I could find the key
All I wanted to have was words to say
That I don’t wanna live in a monopoly
Don’t wanna feel like a record that’s been sold
All I wanted to have was some control
Hey! You hear what I say?
Are you listening to me?

Life In A Cube
03:39
|
|||
Living in a cube
Four walls and not much room
The air is heavy
And I can’t breath
We all try hard to care
While we’re living in a square
To stay steady
Until it’s time to leave
Keep on pushing
Keep on pushing through
Life in a cube
Feeling so boxed in without a clue
There’s no use trying to fight
Or we’’ll be stuck in here all night
That’s life in a cube
We just sit and stare surrounded by the squares
Procrastinating in our newsfeed
Now you’re part of the machine
And you need more caffeine
To just hold steady
Until it’s time to leave

Denial
02:15
|
|||
You build a wall around you with 100 dollar bills
Everybody’s gotta pay to get through
Your kids are spoiled rotten while your wife is popping pills
And your TV set is tuned to Fox News
You think it’s all a joke yeah you think it isn’t real
But you know that you’re just lying to yourself
When it all goes up in smoke and now you gotta steal
To keep up the illusion of your wealth
You
Are
In
Denial
When you’re scrolling through the ‘gram and liking all the pics
To see how you compare to all your friends
You bought into the scam of the all exercise chicks
And you’re bound to do it all over again
If it doesn’t affect you then it doesn’t exist
At least that’s the lie that you believe
I’m here to tell you man that you’re on my shit list
How the hell did you get so naive?
You’re in a bubble
Where nobody tells you no
You’ll be in trouble when it’s time to go

I Don't Wanna Die
03:24
|
|||
There’s gonna come a time
When the clock stops on a dime
And you vanish
Without a trace
So what will you leave behind?
What will they remember you by
Besides a picture
Of your face
I don’t wanna die
I’ve gotta stay alive
For you
There’s gonna come a day
Where you ain’t gonna get more cake
No more birthdays
For you
So what will you leave behind?
What will the young ones find?
That ain’t hearsay
But that’s true
I don’t wanna die
I’ve gotta stay alive
For you
Time to survive
At least I gotta try
For you
