Giving more when you got nothin' left

It's a person that'll take a chance on

Something they were told could never happen

vapid jacinth
#

It's a person that can see the bright side through the dark times when there ain't one

#

It's when someone who ain't never had nothin'

vapid jacinth
#

Ain't afraid to walk away

#

from more profit cause they'd rather do something that they really love and take the pay cut

vapid jacinth
#

It's a person that would never waver or change who they are

fervent sleet
#

Just to try and gain some credibility, so they can feel accepted by a stranger

vapid jacinth
#

It's a person that can take the failures in their life and turn them into motivation

It’s believing in yourself when no one else does it’s amazin

vapid jacinth

What a little bit of faith can't do if you don't even believe in you

...holding on to things
I never should kept, full of hatred

Years of my life carrying a lotta baggage that I shoulda walked away from

Years of my life wishin' I was someone different
Lookin' for some validation

Years of my life trying to fill a void, pretendin' I was in- they get it

growing pains are necessary, evil, difficult to go through, yes but beneficial

slender hazel
#

Some say mental breakdown is a negative thing which on one hand I agree with

vapid jacinth
#

On the other hand it was the push I needed to get help and start the healing process

atomic storm
#

see if i'da never hit rock bottom would i be the person that i am today? i don't believe so

vapid jacinth
#

I'm a prime example of what happens when you choose not accept defeat and face your demons

slender hazel
#

Took me 30 years to realize that if you want to get the opportunity to be the greatest version of yourself sometimes you gotta be someone not to hear the voice of reason

Having kids will really make you take a step back and look in the mirror. Least for me that's what it did, I

(You'll never evolve) I know I can change
(We are not enough) we are not the same
(You don't have the heart) you don't have the strength
(You don't have the will) you don't have the faith

vapid jacinth

You'll never be loved. You'll never be saved. Might as well give up. Not running awat

vapid jacinth

Get inside of rooms with the biggest of names

vapid jacinth
#

Hire fifty people just to give me advice on the way I should write

tender pine
#

Yeah, sounds like a nightmare, if you ask me
Yeah, went from my bedroom to the big leagues

vapid jacinth
#

You know how many times I was told things wouldn't work but worked out. Having cold feet

tender pine
#

Didn't keep me from success, but delayed it some
I used to be the guy who'd kill to get a number one

livid sparrow
#

Had to hear that songs a hit before I thought it was, but nowadays I don’t really give a (what?)

#

We finished 2nd song here!
@lilac spindle asked for “Wake Up”, so I’ll be the one to start

#

You spend your life in the dream that you can’t escape

lilac spindle
#

You spend your life in a coma, you're never awake...

slender hazel
#

If you’d open yours eyes then maybe you’d see what’s at stake

#

(I wish we had a version of Wake Up with singing only so it would be a really soft song)

lilac spindle
#

You're sleeping . . . you're sleeping..

slender hazel
#

You make a lot of money, and you live in a mansion

lilac spindle
#

You got pretty much everything you could ever imagine

slender hazel
#

But you feel like even though you got everything in the world,
You got nothing

lilac spindle
#

So what you do then is you start going backwards
You runnin' in a direction...

slender hazel
#

And you lookin' for something that isn't real
And all you know is that you just gotta have it

lilac spindle
#

What you're doin' is sleepin'
And thinking that you're awake and you're not

atomic storm
#

and the problem is you don't know what you're after

vapid jacinth
#

So you put everything that you have into what you do

slender hazel
#

Hoping that one day maybe you don't have to feel like you're empty

vapid jacinth
#

But as you get older a lot of weight on your shoulders is getting heavy

cosmic flame
#

Then you look back and you start to regret things

slender hazel
#

You only got one life

atomic storm
#

and every time your looking at your's

slender hazel
#

You feel like everything you have is a waste!

vapid jacinth
#

The problem and the reason you can never fill a hole in your life is because you were never awake!

slender hazel
#

Wake up

vapid jacinth
#

You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape

slender hazel
#

Cause you live your life in a coma you’re never awake

atomic storm
#

if you'd open your eyes, then maybe you'd see whats at stake

heady ferry
#

you're sleeping

slender hazel
#

you’re sleeping

heady ferry
#

you make a lot of money

cosmic flame
#

and you live in a mansion

atomic storm
#

and pretty much got everything that you could ever imagine

slender hazel
#

(lol we repeating the first verse instead of the second)

#

But you feel like even though you got everything in the world,
You got nothing

lilac spindle
#

So what you do then is you start going backwards

slender hazel
#

You only got one life

strange vector
#

But evry time you look at yours

slender hazel
#

You feel like everything you have is a waste!

vapid jacinth
#

And the problem and the reason you can never fill the hole in your life is bcause you were never awake!

steep adder
#

You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape
And you live your life in a coma
You're never awake...

lilac spindle
#

If you'd open your eyes, then maaaybe you see what's at stake...

slender hazel
#

You sleeping…

slender hazel
steep adder
#

I will later! I bet I'll like it, since it's NF lol

vapid jacinth
#

Well let's start lol

#

I mis the days when I had a smile on my face and

steep adder
#

Wasn't so caught up in all of the small things
Wasn't so adamant that I could handle everything alone

vapid jacinth
#

And wasn't so cautious and always exhausted
And actually listened to thing that my heart said

steep adder
vapid jacinth
#

Not always stressin' bout money or losin' my job or scared I ain't makin' a flight

slender hazel
#

Not always going to bed every night with this knot in my stomach that never unwinds

vapid jacinth
#

What happened to? Yeah what happened to me? When did I start to believe?

slender hazel
#

I wasn’t worth it and question my purpose to breath

cosmic flame
#

Wonderin' who I should be, happiness out of my reach

slender hazel
#

Scared to get back on my feet, need to get rid of what’s dentrimental but it’s hard to let go when the thing that hurt you help to get to your dreams

atomic storm
#

see i miss the days when i wasnt so faded, love wasnt always invasive

viral gulch
#

I could embrace it
Just innocent, waitin', not always livin' in anguish

slender hazel
#

When did I break and become overtaken?
What was the moment I caved and

viral gulch
#

Gave away all of my faith and made a replacement?

slender hazel
#

I miss the days when, I miss the days when

viral gulch
#

I miss the smiles we had when we were young (oh)

slender hazel
#

I miss the memories of feeling love

viral gulch
#

I miss us runnin' underneath the sun

slender hazel
#

Staring out the window when the rain would come

cosmic flame
#

I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah

atomic storm
#

i feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah

slender hazel
#

When we had joy and we were innocent

glad bough
#

I'd give it all to feel that way again (way again)

slender hazel
#

Give me my mind back, yeah, give me my mind back

strange vector
#

the one that told me i was worth somethin' when I fall flat

slender hazel
#

ye fall flat, the one that told me I was something when I’m off track

potent lintel
#

Back when my imagination wasn't in a cage and it was free to run fast

slender hazel
#

Ye, give me my mind back, ye, give me my, give me my mind back

potent lintel
#

Before it was hijacked and wasn't described as

slender hazel
#

A place of limitation always indicating that I can’t
Handle everything from my past

potent lintel
#

Handed anything it dissects 'til im depressed

slender hazel
#

I know I’m blessed but I’m cursed too

strange vector
#

Take me back when I was happy but I wasn't actin'

slender hazel
#

Vulnerable but didn’t see it like some kind of weakness or a thing that’s unattractive

south patrol
#

had emotion but i learned to mask it

glad bough
#

Didn't know what I was running after
