Just move with the motions and go with the flow No one says you have to be anyone else The time that you’re wasting could be put on hold But you’re not gonna change No, you’re not gonna change One for every shot Three for every coffin Threats are given out ‘Cause everyone’s talking How does this scream that everything’s okay Standing all alone In your own bedroom Finally freaking out ‘Cause everyone’s left you Please tell me why this is the life to live And the weight of your decision Have left you blind to your hypocrisy So go and make a new incision And cut your heart out because it’s not working Sugar-coated smiles And pointless interactions Give you a suggestion And nothing ever happens Since when is this not a democracy Calling out your lies Before you even think of them Rallying up the squad Before you can dispose of them Who says we’ll fail if it’s not up to you And the weight of my decision Have opened my eyes to possibility So as I wait on your indecision Take my heart now ‘cause you need it more than me You will be alone with me no fakin’ (You will be alone) Forsaken You don’t know which way to go (Nowhere to go) You’re faded (Forever faded) So jaded (Jaded) You will be alone with me no fakin’ (You will be alone) Forsaken You don’t know which way to go (Nowhere to go) You’re faded (Forever faded) So jaded (Jaded)

I’m expected to write a doozy of a dream I can’t pretend that this world is nothing like it seems Don’t hold my hand and try to lead me to my let-down I’m expected I am expected Am I a fly on the wall Am I deceiving you all You keep your head down as a vote of ambiguity I raise a finger as a message to society Well, where did action go wrong No point in making sense of something so mystique I pledge allegiance to the critics and the caskets I am expected I am expected Am I a speck on the screen That you berate and demean Our conversations surround photographs inside my head Gleaming with pictures of the haters that I wish were dead Well, where did action go wrong No point in making sense of something so mystique I pledge allegiance to the critics and the caskets I am expected I am expected Throw all your covers aside I’ll end up leaving you dry I’ll end up leaving you dry I’ll end up leaving you dry I’ll end up leaving you dry Dry Dry Dry Well, where did action go wrong No point in making sense of something so mystique I pledge allegiance to the critics and the caskets I am expected I am expected

Static 03:11

The sun shines Like any other day I wake up late Ready to turn the page Of the book of my latest escapades I wanna do it But I hesitate I wait a month Or so the story goes I feel uneasy And it really shows Is what I have ever gonna be enough Is it worth it Will it be rough Subtle changes that I can see Have got me wanting everything I put two feet forward I’m pushed ten back Will I ever make it Will I crack I feel like changing my name I feel like I’ve lost the game No matter how hard I try I’ve got the feeling that I Will keep on being Static It’s too much For me to be told I need to wait For what my future holds If everybody’s wanting to be unique Where am I It seems pretty bleak Subtle changes that I can see Have got me wanting everything I put two feet forward I’m pushed ten back Will I ever make it Will I crack I feel like changing my name I feel they all look the same No matter how hard I try I’ve got the feeling that I Will keep on being Static I feel like changing my name I feel like I’ve lost the game No matter how hard I try I’ve got the feeling that I Will keep on being Static

I dream of people when I sleep The type of folks who keep me on my feet And waiting for a seat Put me in with the big boys I think I’ve earned the right to practice what I preach Make room for me and I’ll show you Why does it have to be this way Can anyone else relate What happens when I get out of here Did I make a fool of myself Or did I make it out ok I wish the answers would come to me Searching can be so exhausting Especially when there is no lead I move forward but I’m always left behind They say you’ve got a one track mind Stay close and always protect yourself Why does it have to be this way Can anyone else relate What happens when I get out of here Did I make a fool of myself Or did I make it out ok I dream of people when I sleep The type of folks who keep me on my feet And waiting for a seat

California 04:23

Gotta take one more look at the ocean Surfers ride and everyone is having fun I feel the wind between my hair The top is down and I don’t care Take me to the streets where I belong Making memories while making waves all day Hoping for some strangers to come out to play Adrenaline rushes in my bones I don’t ever wanna go back home Leave me here so I can seize the day Wait for me I’ll give you everything California California Every night I dream I’m staring at The Bay Contemplating reasons that I need to stay Time to wake up and bring it in Better go because I won’t win Looking forward I’m coming back for more If everything could feel as simple as this Living in a place where I can feel complete Wait for me I’ll give you everything California California Call me “anxious” Call me “obsessed” I can’t wait till I go back California Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me Wait for me I’ll give you everything California California Call me “anxious” Call me “obsessed” I can’t wait till I go back California

How long, how long, how long, how long Do I put my head down How low, how low, how low, how low Before it hits the ground I watched my silhouette Breathe life into a broken spine My body reacts to The hand grenade that is my mind Hope for the change that’ll keep them fighting Fight for the power that’ll keep them safe and near Dream of the life that you wish you had Live for the life that you hold so dear How much, how much, how much, how much Will I have to endure I think, I think, I think, I think I’ve reached my breaking point Is the problem even worth the battle If nothing seems to really change Rather see them in shackles Than lying on the western plain Hope for the change that’ll keep them fighting Fight for the power that’ll keep them safe and near Dream of the life that you wish you had Live for the life that you hold so dear Hope for the change that’ll keep them fighting Fight for the power that’ll keep them safe and near Dream of the life that you wish you had Live for the life that you hold so dear

I guess it’s time to pick a side I don’t know where I’m going You used to love me when I was high But when I’m low, where are you You used to use me for my shoulder I watched you shed a tear or two I probably mentioned this before But here’s another fuck you I’ve got friends in all the right places People change but no one seems to care anymore It’s not the same not knowing who to believe But I can tell you that I’m still around I’ve learned to live without you Was that the end of your rebuttal Your quick one, two punch You wanted someone who would struggle But I got news for you ‘cause I’ve got friends in all the right places People change but no one seems to care anymore It’s not the same not knowing who to believe But I can tell you that I’m still around I’ve learned to live without you

Hang around for a minute (Go on and handle it) I wanna give you my opinion (Go on and handle it) The things you say have got no substance (Go on and handle it) So take your cause and shove it, fuck it He’s into it And everybody knows it A perfect facade At least that’s how he shows it She makes moves And tells them that they love her An alluring shift She can’t be like her mother If all we know is what we’re told Could you imagine the mess Dodge the lies, make up your mind Can you handle the stress They can’t be here They’re living in a fantasy Oh, the “sanctity” of what Please give up this insanity I can’t stand it Does that make me a coward Well, I’ve been pushing back so long I don’t know if I have the power If all we know is what we’re told Could you imagine the mess Dodge the lies, make up your mind Can you handle the stress If all we know is what we’re told Could you imagine the mess Dodge the lies, make up your mind Can you handle the stress No more “wait and see” No hate, no apathy We’ve heard it all before Time to kick and scream Say what we really mean We’re looking back no more No more “wait and see” No hate, no apathy We’ve heard it all before It’s not fate, it’s freedom We’ll even up the score

Hold me close You’ve figured me out Oooo I lay my head down on your chest My eyes are blurry and I’m mumbling to you Oh please don’t let me go What in the world is happening to me I was fine I had everything under control Take my hands inside your hands I thought that I’d be stronger than this Oooo I think I’m drowning, I can’t breathe I push myself until I’m close to the edge I’m in too deep What in the world is happening to me I was fine I had everything under control I was high on top of the world I made it there with no care in the world I was better when I was lying to myself What in the world is happening to me I was fine I had everything under control I was high on top of the world I made it there with no care in the world I was better when I was lying to myself
