looking for the answers to
the questions that you pose
please don't grow impatient
as I walk this unmarked road
seeing farther, faster than I
ever thought I could
still I do not see the things
the way you think I should
It's a shame
that we all just fade away
and I'm stuck inside this
hole that I fell into
since I started asking questions
looking for the truth now
despite my own contentions
if I'm wrong, please help me see
if I'm right, we'll let it be
gotta find the answer
just so we can all move on
asking me to change my ways
although you don't know why
you're saying you can't see my point
but I don't think you try
learning so much more than you
had ever planned to know
you think I fall behind 'cause our
conclusions do not flow
It's a shame
that we all just fade away
and I'm stuck inside this
hole that I fell into
since I started asking questions
looking for the truth now
despite my own contentions
if I'm wrong, please help me see
if I'm right, we'll let it be
gotta find the answer
just so we can all move on
looking for the answers to
questions that divide
it all falls around us will we
ever coincide
always getting closer to
the true things that we seek
always climbing mountains but
end up on different peaks
It's a shame
that we all just fade away
and I'm stuck inside this
hole that I fell into
since I started asking questions
looking for the truth now
despite my own contentions
if I'm wrong, please help me see
if I'm right, we'll let it be
gotta find the answer
just so we can all move on

Are You Okay?

you're okay and, I'm just fine
I can run through all the clichés, in my mind
but that's just talking, won't mean a thing
our words fall flat and stale, until we can uncling
from our old thinking, that we're alone
I can't handle everything, all on my own
so please forgive if, I disrupt the trend
'cause til now my thoughts came only through my pen
Are you okay? Are you okay?
I don't know, unless you say you are
I don't know, unless you say
But you're not talking, and that's all right
I wish that someone else at least, could know your plight
still I ask questions, all the clichés
what's going on that makes you mad, all through the day
and whatcha doing, that makes you sad
I know I can't dry all the tears you've ever had
but I can try, to clean up some
even though you always act, so numb
Are you okay? Are you okay?
I won't know, unless you say ya are
I won't know, unless you say
I hope you are
I hope you are
I hope you are
I hope you are
you're okay and, I'm just fine
I can run through all the clichés in my mind

Put Me In My Place
04:04

Way back then when I was young
thought that I could be someone
you would all look up to
light a burning, fire in your eyes
now the days have come and gone
I'm still waiting for that dawn
had my head filled up with dreams
live my life in brighter scenes
the way I always wanted
stuff my eyes with wonder once again
thought that I would do great things
'o how the disappoint rings
that put me in my place, oh man
put me in my place
Thought that I'd go back to school
the time I had it was a jewel
felt the music rising, rushing like a river in my soul
everybody all around
there bones were shaking with the sound
to be in the halls again, carving out a new road when
old familiar feeling, inspiration, lightning in my back
said I'd go so long ago
I guess you never really know
that put me in my place, oh man
put me in my place
hoped that I would meet a girl
swim through oceans, find a pearl
thought I needed someone, lift me out of my own stormy seas
as the storm raged all around
there was no lifeboat to be found
I found a lady to advance, drew her pictures to romance
man I was excited, buy her dinner, take her to a film
I asked the girl out I was blind
she said yes then changed her mind
that put me in my place, oh man
put me in my place
Working the same job long
wondering what had gone wrong
all my aspirations, wish I had moved on some time ago
days they slipped right through my hands
I should've acted on my plans
comfort is the killing vice, stop of progress is the price
you no longer struggle, fight for all the things that you hold dear
maybe one day you will see
all the things you didn't be
that put me in my place, oh man
put me in my place

Broken Bottles

I see the starlight in your eyes
all at once, you realize
that the skies were meant, for you
Broken Bottles in your mind, you try to fill
them all the time
but it all leaks through the cracks
empty fragments of a dream, that wasn't meant to be
it seems
feel the weight of what you lack
but it doesn't have to be, the end
you live your life it all, depends
on what you want to be
yeah what you wanna be
Please don't ask me who you are
ya know I never got that far
with myself or anyone
ya pick up clues along the way
from what will keep, or cannot stay
but full answers, never come
it's a journey that you take
finding secrets to awake
as you find where you belong
and it doesn't have to be, the end
ya live your life it all, depends
on what you wanna be
yeah what you wanna be
set the canvas up again
find that you, can make amends
smear the color, change the trend
taking truth from all you know
begin again, it's time to grow
the brightest garden, you can mend
and it doesn't have to be, the end
you live your life it all, depends
on what you wanna be
yeah what you wanna be
