Who’s to trust when the closest ones have fallen? Who’s to love when the only ones forgotten? Just a boy misunderstood Wants them to remember But what’s the cost When you have lost your voice Who’s to blame for all your shame and envy? No one’s gonna hold you when you cry Just a boy misunderstood Wants them to remember But what’s the cost When you have lost your voice I thought being kind would make me happy But Its made me so damn blind and out of touch Just a boy misunderstood Wants them to remember But what’s the cost When you have lost your voice Your weary sometime’s make me surrender I’ll throw your judgments in a pile But you’re just a girl misunderstood I just can’t seem to get it But what’s the cost When you have lost your voice I am here with my two hand They’re empty I want peace and quiet To be alone And if you don’t have the will to accept me Then I’ll get my ass right back down on the road Just a boy misunderstood Wants them to remember But what’s the cost When I have lost my voice

All the things I used to love slowly start to change Erasing all my thoughts memories they fade I don’t know where I belong a home is what I crave Do you really think of me as much as you say? Darling we were meant to be Darling, we’re insane Is this really destiny? Or are we just crazed? I wanna hold you close Dance with my hands upon your waist Drift into another world Because we’ve found a better place All the things I used to love slowly start to change My family don’t know me I forgot my name Every day I lose my way I’m lost and found again Every day I wait your voice to hear you say Darling we were meant to be Darling, we’re insane Is this really destiny? Or are we just crazed? I wanna hold you close Dance with my hands upon your waist Drift into another world Because we’ve found a better place We can live our dreams We’ll survive We can be the strange ones Who live a happy happy life Protect you from the ones Who say you’re wrong when you are right And I will hold you close On this stormy winter night Darling we were meant to be Darling, we’re insane Is this really destiny? Or are we just crazed? I wanna hold you close Dance with my hands upon your waist Drift into another world Because we’ve found a better place Darling we were meant to be Darling, we’re insane I think this is destiny And we are crazed I wanna hold you close Dance with my hands upon your waist Drift into another world Because we’ve found a better place

I had some thoughts but they’re not my own And I don’t know where I want to go I’ve got some splinters in my soul Would anyone notice if I was gone? God, why you keeping me waiting? You know my patience is running low I wanna know Which way the wind blows I wanna know What direction will set me free I wanna love you like there ain’t no tomorrow Love, you my biggest dream I read some books about the past Bout’ the one’s who made it, who’s songs have lasted And it’s so hard to relax I’m tryna get all of these people off of my back God, why you keeping me waiting? You know my patience is running low I wanna know Which way the wind blows I wanna know What direction will set me free I wanna love you like there ain’t no tomorrow Love, you my biggest dream Everyday I’m running in circles in my head Seems like a pointless race to nowhere Tell me darling if you’re ready to fly My indecision is a decision to try God, why you keeping me waiting? You know my patience is running low I wanna know Which way the wind blows I wanna know What direction will set me free I wanna love you like there ain’t no tomorrow Love, you my biggest dream I wanna build you a cabin in a forest Hold you hand till the next dawn I wanna love you like there ain’t no tomorrow Love, you my biggest dream

Firefly 03:25
This point in life I can’t remind Myself of days like I used to Seems I’ve gone blind Nostalgia is a crime I am a work in progress Home is a lie resides in my eyes Where no one is listening Oh summertime prickle my skin So i can begin to see colors I was a firefly I was a change of mind I was an empty sky just waiting for color I’m still waiting for color Seems like we’re all a ticking grenade Set to explode in an instant find your escape then run away try to keep some distance Not who is not who we was Not who we ain’t got time for Not yes or no Not maybe so This is just contradiction valley I was a firefly I was a change of mind I was an empty sky just waiting for color I’m still waiting for color Raising the bar just so I can dream higher Raising the glass just so I can be drunk Try to forget that I was just a child Because who we are aint who we are I was a firefly I was a change of mind I was an empty sky just waiting for color I’m still waiting for color

I left the world to live with stars But I’m still scared of the dark It’s nice up here without a care about nothing I can give all my loving And disappear I’m caught between good and bad What I want and what i have I’ve got a smile to last a lifetime It aint worth it If I am feeling worthless at all This is the one for all of those who feel the pain This is the song for all of those who feel ashamed Try to forgive the ones who’ve done you any harm And if you can’t then let it go, let it be gone Let it be gone It’s too tough to recall In my brain’s a concrete wall To block the noise of old memories I’ve hidden They seep through when I’m weak and I’m not strong And If I dwelled on the past I’d go crazy much too fast And when that wall caves in I feel like dying What’s the point in trying anymore This is the one for all of those who feel the pain This is the song for all of those who feel ashamed Try to forgive the ones who’ve done you any harm And if you can’t then let it go, let it be gone Let it be gone So I remind myself That I’m here for the good, the bad and for the ugly That we can create something To rid us from the hunger To bring us close together I left the world to live with star But I’m still scared of the dark It’s nice up here without a care about nothing I can give all my loving And disappear This is the one for all of those who feel the pain This is the song for all of those who feel ashamed Try to forgive the ones who’ve done you any harm And if you can’t then let it go, let it be gone let it be gone

Rise Me Up 04:30
Never knew that I would be so alone Never knew that life would move slow slow and that I would grow so old Never knew that I was a wandering soul Till I packed my bags hit the road Looking for a place called home See, I ain’t felt nothing for the last while I’ve got thick skin and dark memories of when I was a child And I’ve got these walls I need to break down I just need someone to come and teach me how Rise me up I wanna feel your love I wanna know that life ain’t over baby Rise me up I wanna feel your love I wanna know that this is just the beginning Never knew that times would be so rough and that I’d be on the cusp of asking for forgiveness baby Never knew that I would be so confused Indecisive cannot choose I’m just trying to break loose See, I ain’t felt nothing for the last while I’ve got thick skin and dark memories of when I was a child And I’ve got these walls I need to break down I just need someone to come and teach me how Rise me up I wanna feel your love I wanna know that life ain’t over baby Rise me up I wanna feel your love I wanna know that this is just the beginning Relying on animal instincts to make me a man It won’t be long till I find out who I am Rise me up I wanna feel your love I wanna know that life ain’t over baby Rise me up I wanna feel your love I wanna know that this is just the beginning
