Call To Arms

I’ve been waiting for the day, when I threw my whole damn life away Because I learn that I believe. Please don’t look at me that way, and try to tell me that I could have been something Cause I know, that this is something. I’m writing this letter to you, to entertain the idea, I’m not alone Maybe you’ll start noticing me. Maybe you’ll start. Don’t tell me what I already know. Don’t tell me how far we’ve come. I don’t want to hear about your struggles anymore than you say you do. What are we left with? It comes down to you and me. And I know that I could have been something. And I know where your heart really is. So when you look at me that way, you can be sure I’ll be looking right at you. Cause the mirror reveals it all. Wake up, Wake up, Wake up. Get out, Get out, Get out. Let the record show, I’m trying. I’ve been waiting for this day, when I throw my whole damn life away Because I know that I believe. When you look at me that way, and try to tell me that I could have been something I know that I am something. Stand up. Scream out. Get angry. It’s okay.

How The World Works
03:43

I wish that I could say I knew exactly how the world works. I wish that I could simply read it in a book. Then I’d become a teacher in the subject we call English, And assign it out to you. Or maybe I’ll just sit around and watch just how the world works But then again why sit around when there’s so much else to do That last line I just sung out put a smile onto my fast, Come wander away with me And then maybe you’ll stray from routine, that finds you without smiles Maybe you’ll free yourself from the walls that you create, that you’ve created Maybe you’ll find your own way I wonder what would happen if we all were to be fired, Freed from forced responsibility and set forth into the world No order to the chaos, left to our own devices, Imagine with me I wonder what would happen if we learned from past mistakes Involving force and war, cruel punishment, Based on power fear and hate Maybe acts of kindness, random acts of kindness I wonder Step outside your box I wish that I could say as we got older we got smarter From what I’ve seen in many that’s just simply not the case Forgetfulness occurs it seems much more easily As we forget what brought us here in the first place

Life this is my life this is the life. Pessimism’s got the best of me today it offered its hand and I just couldn’t reject it well where’s optimism when will you offer your hand to me. Life this is my life this is the life. We’ve all made decisions so lets talk about decisions or better yet regrets. It doesn’t make a difference. Life this is my life this is the life. So live for today unless you’ve got a time machine. You’ve got to live for today you’ve got to live your life today!

In the meantime let me tell you all the news, took your picture off the wall, said you can’t stay here if you’re gonna look at me like that. Where’d I put it don’t worry much about that, there’s a closet filled with memories, but yesterday’s not coming back. I know we all know that, it’s just these tired lines. I’ll take this moment to tell you what I think, it’s ok that you don’t drink you can just pass that bottle back. To tell you the truth I don’t need the bottle back, to tell you the truth it’s lines like that, that make me more sick than the bottle ever did. I know we all feel pain, I’m not trying to say that’s invalid oh no. It’s just these tired lines, we reuse reuse til they carry no meaning. By the end of this song I’ll be staggering on, you can grab my collar and hold me up right. By the end of this song I”ll be staggering on, it’d be nice to know you’d still be listening. I’ll take this moment and tell you one last thing, I think it could do us some good to get called out on our bullshit. I’ll take this moment and tell you one more thing, well it could do us some good to get called out on our bullshit. It’d do me some good to get called out on my bullshit.

We’re trained as soldiers, where everything’s a fight. And all the homeless are just trying to get their next big fix. T-R-U-S-T spells trust. But why in this world should we believe. Don’t write me off yet. Don’t say I’m full of shit. Don’t write me off cause I’m calling out to you. Maybe I’ll try to make some sense of this mess. Empty my thoughts onto a nice clean white canvas. And then the people of the world, Can call it art, can give it any name they want. Don’t write me off yet. Don’t say I’m full of shit. Don’t write me off cause I’m calling out to you. In this moment, we’re fighting for our lives. But knock on my door, I’ll say no thanks I’m turning off my lights. B-R-A-I-N spells brain. It’s not too late, to think for yourself, it’s not too late. Don’t write me off yet. Don’t say I’m full of shit. Don’t write me off cause I’m calling out to you.

Life Like This

It’s been a long long time, since her grandpa made a bet with her he said, one day we will overcome. It’s been a long long time, and the girl has grown the bet still not won, but she hopes that her grandpa might at least be proud. We can’t just sit back again, you have an open invitation one I hope that you cordially accept and say it’s our time. The sun went down fire’s all burned out. Take a deep deep breath, sit back recollect your thoughts now. It still burns bright from your heart. It’s been a long long time, she finds it hard to believe that this is the end of the road. She knows she’s not alone. We can’t just sit back again, you have an open invitation one I hope that you cordially accept and say it’s our time. So let’s just look to the hills with one fist raised towards the sky, one fist. I know we can never give up right now is our time. I see that fire, burning in your eyes. I see that fire, it burns so bright. Oh how bout a game of truth or dare, which will quickly lose truth cause it’s been said you can’t be trusted. So, I dare you, dare you to be the first to take that giant step forward, when I can’t promise you’ll be followed.

Waking up now after two long years of being in love with you I know that this is where I want to be. So down to the church down to the temple down to the courtroom just to get turned away. Nobody knows nobody cares for you like me more like nobody cares to acknowledge it. Consider the time I’m 81 consider this we’ve been in love for most of our lives but I’m sad to say. You’ve passed on and I’m all alone you’re family won’t support your will and now I’m in court. The court rules against me a friend I was more than a friend. But nobody knew nobody cared for you like me more like nobody cared to acknowledge it. Why all the hate?!?! Over the years I’ve seen it all the struggle won the struggle lost but we’ll keep fighting you know we’ll keep fighting. Until everyone knows, everyone cares for you like me ‘til everyone starts to acknowledge it.

An Offering

When someone offers a little that’s when we suddenly seem to want it all. Well I’m offering a little but it’s everything I got. So I hope it’s just a little that you want. Why when it’s raining we suddenly find more time to complain. Like we’re stuck inside our houses until the sun shines again. We can’t even find the time to step outside. No we won’t even find the time to step outside. It’s how I know you’ll only miss me when I’m gone.

Part of the Day

I don’t like the way you look back at me when I tell you this is all you’re gonna get. I don’t understand this at all not even a little. I got a lot of love for this. I got a lot of love to give to you, give to this give to one thing I believe in I believe. I can’t wait to see your smile to see your face. How great it is to see your smile. You stole the words right from my mouth right off the tip of my tongue. I wait too long to say it I always wait too long and miss my opportunities fly. Why can’t I fly up right with them? Instead I stay here on the ground. I stay where I started. All I need is a little sunshine to get me through the day casting shadows to get lost in. I’m having trouble with the getting things done part of the day. Can’t seem to get you off my brain. Don’t bother looking at my to do list there’s no check marks. I made one anyway and I hold you responsible. Can’t wait to see your smile to see your face how great it is to see your smile.

Spare Me
02:48
|

|
I’ll take the dollar back in the form of four quarters just to spare a little bit of change to each of you, YOU. And if it’s the thought that counts does the thought still count if you didn’t really mean it. Is a pat on the back better than the shove when it’s the shove you want to give? Say what you mean yeah just sing that little heart right out. When push comes to shove we’ve been waiting patiently. Speak from that bright bright bright inside. Say what you mean just sing that little heart out. Before it’s too late! When we say we’re not scared to die maybe that’s just our way of saying we’re scared to death. If we blow it off tell ourselves this isn’t fear we’re feeling and get back to our sad sorry lives of finding truth and happiness. Wake up speak out turn around turn around. Wake up speak out stand up and turn around. Wake up speak out spare me now just spare me now. Wake up speak out spare me!

If I Could, Would I
03:28
|

I want to open up my heart, I want to take it all back, What’s left for us I want to take a giant step forward, Instead of taking two steps back, I want to do it all alone, No I want to do it with you, What’s left for us, If you turn it on let your imagination go, What are you imagining If I could go to sleep one night and wake up to find a world gone right, If I could would I go to sleep tonight

What Is Sorrow
03:42
|

|
I Bet that you’d like to just say you’re sorry when accused of anything But I don’t think that it’s sorrow that you feel, for anything you’d be accused of And we’ll just fade away to the back of your mind Oh out of your life forgive forget forgotten. Well I think that I might go hide under a rock and learn to be so cold. So the next time I hear hey you got any spare change your answer I’ll just keep walking til we just fade away out of your mind out of your life forgive forget forgotten. I can’t no I can’t take your smirk I can’t be the person you are. Well I guess that we’re all just stranded out here left to die alone. But I don’t believe that no I just can’t buy it. Please show me I’m not all alone and left to fade away to the back of your mind out of your life forgive forget forgotten.

Memories of childhood dreams running free with after thoughts put on hold til we get older Memories of innocent lives waking up with after thoughts put on hold how we’ve grown older We can’t forget our dreams can’t let them slip from honest hands it’s all right to speak of your fears Together we can change the world can’t let it slip from honest hands it’s all right to say you’re a dreamer Close my eyes takes me back to Better days better nights wishful thinking A whole life could be lived days counted fake smile fake smile after fake smile Or life could be lived I remember the peacefulness in the world I remember simplicity Having fun with a cardboard box my voice don’t need no one All I want is peacefulness for the world What is simplicity Now I got this wooden box my voice could use someone
