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

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

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
