Don't Know Anything

I don't know you, you don't know me
We don't know anything
Let's start a fight tonight
You think you're right, I think you're wrong
We'll never get along
It's not what we're supposed to do
I don't know what to say
Are we always gonna fight this way?
We never know how it will go so why are you lying
We always disagree
Never let us feel humility
We disconnect and fight ourselves
We fall in line, we share a bruise
They try to salt the wound
We are too mad to care
So we don't dare to share at all
I'll be the first to call
While you all sit and moan and whine
I don't know what to say
Are we always gonna fight this way?
We never know how it will go so why are you lying
We always disagree
Never let us feel humility
We disconnect and fight ourselves
Tell me why
You feel the need to lie
To change the facts of life
It won't bring you peace of mind
It's not necessary
I don't care what you think of me
Go ahead and believe what you believe
Just as long as we take the time
To see that we're all alike
Here we go
Into the great unknown
The love that I've been shown
I feel it in my soul
I want to hear it all
I don't know you, you don't know me
We don't know anything
Let's stay up and talk all night
I don't know what to say
Are we always gonna fight this way?
We never know how it will go so why are you lying
We always disagree
Never let us feel humility
We disconnect and fight ourselves
Let's reconnect and let love swell
We all have tales we'd like to tell

Hardly Know Ya

So there I was walking and there you were talking
Right off of the trail
My direction was aimless, my feelings were blameless
Not a care in the world
You stopped and saw me coming with energy flowing on through
A chance encounter, minds open to wonder
The journey begins
We are not strangers, it's not dangerous to love
Why keep our distance? It's resistance to ourselves
Reignite my soul alight today
Hearts collide and set the night ablaze
I stopped and told ya, I hardly know ya
What a beautiful thing
The instant connection without any tension
The feeling is free
Even when we say goodbye, fates steering us to reunite
We'll dance to the music and sync ourselves to it
Seeing love everywhere
We are not strangers, it's not dangerous to love
Why keep our distance? It's resistance to ourselves
Reignite my soul alight today
Hearts collide and set the night ablaze
Hear us now our voices locked in tune
Sing it loud, hey what have we got to lose
There's something bigger at work here
Don't know your God but I'm sure he's here
No notion of time, the moment's here and now
An endless night, I won't ask why or how
Take my hand for this I do avow
We're in this together till the final bow

Jaded

I'll admit it, I'm jaded and totally bored
It's driving me to that place
Apathetic, bold and impossible
I know I'm a basketcase
It's never my intention to hurt anyone
It's just my resume
Sometimes the words I say end up messing things up
Give me a hideaway
I keep speaking my mind
Such a crime
I know when it's clear I should disappear
Was it something I said?
Can't get ahead
I guess it's just best to keep my mouth shut
I don't get it why people obsess over faces
Abandon reality
So frustrated they don't look the same so they fake it
And hide behind vanity
I lack the filter to politely express that you're dumb
I'm not trying to get under your skin
I have a habit of always offending someone
Feels like I'll never win
I keep speaking my mind
Such a crime
I know when it's clear I should disappear
Was it something I said?
Can't get ahead
I guess it's just best to keep my mouth shut
Maybe
I'm crazy
I'd rather be by myself than toe the line
Save it.
Face it
You're tired of having to fake it all the time
How low
Will you go
Before you throw all your cares into the wind
I keep speaking my mind
Such a crime
I know when it's clear I should disappear
Was it something I said?
Can't get ahead
I guess it's just best to keep my mouth shut
Thought I was being nice
Got great advice
I always forget proper etiquette
No longer fit with the mold
Tired and old
I guess it's just best if you shut me up

Unprepared

I’m just a man looking for a sign
To let me know what I’m doing is right
But everyone else is saying otherwise
I’m doubting myself if it’s worth a try
The walls are caving in
My thoughts are draining
Everywhere, unprepared
Is there anything left to do
In this life I’m chasing
Unaware, I’m so scared of it all
Come be my savior
There’s nothing greater than singing along with you
Enter safe haven
Relax my mind
Can’t stand thinking anymore
I think I’m convinced that I missed fate’s call
It appears all these years I was losing it all
I veer from the path that I’m led too easily
It’s clearer now some are meant to fall
The walls are caving in
My thoughts are draining
Everywhere, unprepared
Is there anything left to do
In this life I’m chasing
Unaware, I’m so scared of it all
Come be my savior
There’s nothing greater than singing along with you
Enter safe haven
Relax my mind
Can’t stand thinking anymore
Too critical
I tried my best
I’ve seen it done with less
Expendable
We acquiesce
And fail another test
It all just fades away
To the stars, it’s getting dark
Come be my savior
There’s nothing greater than singing along with you
Enter safe haven
Relax my mind
Can’t stand thinking anymore
It’s all been done before

Come Alive

Come alive I need your energy
Fertilize my dying will to be
When hope is dry I need a reason why
Visions of how it's all meant to be
Take a dive into the sky and sea
Our hearts combined, veins intertwined
By love
It's such a simple thing
All the while sometimes it's hard to smile
Lost and vile I tend to waste my mind
Send me love, send it all the time
Lead me through to paradise
Wrap around me like an ocean breeze
Cool me off from all this disbelief
I know I'm wrong, can you make me strong
With love
It's such a painful thing
All the while you still find my smile
Strut your style I'll move like a mime
Send me love and send it all the time
I'll follow you to paradise
Just lead the way and I'll pay the price
To find true fortunes without distortion
Spread the warmth to all those in despair
Enjoy the motions like waves upon the ocean
We all have love to spare
Help me now, I feel I'm fading out to gray again
Today
All the while you still find my smile
Strut your style I'll move like a mime
Send me love and send it all the time
I'll follow you to paradise
Just lead the way and I'll pay the price
To find true fortunes without distortion
Spread the warmth to all those in despair
Enjoy the motions like waves upon the ocean
We all have love to spare
And if I falter, stand me up taller
I see much clearer from the view up here
And when I'm dying I know you'll keep me smiling
Your love is always there
Help me now, I feel I'm fading out to gray again
Color me and set me free from apathy
Help me now, you make me come alive
You give me energy
Today

Burn Me Down

I don’t care anymore, the thoughts just make me sore
You won’t shape my mind
Everytime that you say you should come this way
I step aside
Tell you first, what’s it worth? It’s none of your concern
I don’t have the time
I don’t think what I need is your company
You always fake your smile
I’ve had enough, I’ve given up
I’m not another Broadway show
Light me up and burn me down
You won’t mind when I’m gone, honestly
Scream aloud without a sound
It’s in your eyes all the pain I can see
Lift me up to watch me fall
You waste your time
I’ll be fine carelessly
And I don’t care if you forget your apologies
I’ll deny everything that you think I should be
I don’t want your life
Have you looked in the mirror? Have you faced your fears?
Are you satisfied?
I’ve had enough, I’ve given up
I’m not another Broadway show
Light me up and burn me down
You won’t mind when I’m gone, honestly
Scream aloud without a sound
It’s in your eyes all the pain I can see
Lift me up to watch me fall
You waste your time
I’ll be fine carelessly
And I don’t care if you forget your apologies
Find me a stage with no lights or crowds
No need to see or hear my goodbye
Take all my masks and set them on fire
I no longer need them to hide behind
To sink or swim is irrelevant
These waters are to shallow
Can’t swim with less, it’s meaningless
There’s deeper places we can go.
Light me up and burn me down
You won’t mind when I’m gone, honestly
Scream aloud without a sound
It’s in your eyes all the pain I can see
Lift me up to watch me fall
You waste your time
I’ll be fine carelessly
And I don’t care if you forget your apologies
