A turquoise melts into azure Crimson where the sun kisses the shore At the heart of the entire Earth The place where all beauty is birthed Chasms reach into the depths Hopes and love come here at death To a world made of lost dreams At the bottom of this ravine The rest of the world is a dark gray Barren from pollution and war With a little of his own hopes and dreams And some paint a boy colored the land once more But then came a man in a gray suit He snatched the boy's paint like a brute With gray hair and a gray mustache He wanted the world the color of ash The paint and brush vanished in thin air The boy was filled with anguish and despair There would not be a colorful soul Only the color of charcoal So he decided to rebel against the man And said we live in melancholy and fear So the man took the boy by the hand And locked him away for years and years

I don't understand Why the leaves that were green fall off trees I don't understand Why the moon and stars go past eve I don't understand Why we can't stay awake when we sleep And I don't understand Why good things eventually have to leave Maybe I'm just dumb Maybe I'm ignorant But every good thing goes I can't wrap my mind around it I don't understand Why we don't celebrate every week I don't understand Why waves come to a crash in the sea I don't understand Why people can't all live in peace And I don't understand Why good things eventually have to leave Maybe I'm just dumb Maybe I'm ignorant But every good thing goes I can't wrap my mind around it There are things we don't see You never know what's underlying So pick that flower now Because tomorrow it might be dying

I don't know why I come back again Forgotten like I was lost deep in the desert sand I could even write my name down for you in lead I could even carve it into the back of your hand I could break open the sky and show the moon and stars and The sun and galaxies and very many distant lands And shine a vibrant light onto where you still stand But I'd still be forgotten like King Ozymand' Sometimes you'll fall down You just gotta get back up again Sometimes you'll start to drown You just gotta take a bigger breath I think that now I understand Not forgotten but put on wait until I can Swim alone in this metaphorical ocean Not forgotten but I need to take off my life vest I just have to float until I am Back to shore where you continue to promptly stand I don't have to break open the sky for acceptance I just gotta float until I can be noticed Sometimes you'll fall down You just gotta get back up again Sometimes you'll start to drown You just gotta take a bigger breath

I've been waiting all this time I've been wishing that you'd be mine I've been hoping that you'd stay But I let my feelings push you away I've been wanting for you to see The kind of person I can be, yeah Please forgive me I think I'm losing my mind But all I want from you Is just a moment of your time I've been praying my life away I'm still listening for God to say That you don't need her, but I think I do I still can't see myself getting over you Please forgive me I think I'm losing my mind, yeah yeah But all I want from you Is just a moment of your time, whoa I was waiting all this time I was wishing that you'd be mine But now I see you don't belong with me I thought I lost my mind but I was really set free

Tired of It (free) 02:21
I'm tired of it - seeing the kids waste their potential Letting the world go by and walk on their faces while they sit still Trying to get by at the bare minimum 'til they write out their wills This goes out to the kids who suffer 'cause things aren't going well So take the talent you hold and mold it so you can dethrone The corrosive focus of folks who try to coax us to show That we're all a bunch of hopeless jokes in their propaganda; their hold Let them provoke us to stand up and invoke their control Have a voice and say no and take a deep long breath I'm tired of the world living in this inferiority complex How will there be progress if kids pass by cheating on tests This is nonsense, there's no compromise for this conflict So no promises that the next generation will be better Teens dressed to show skin or hide cuts under their sweaters 12 year olds buying drugs and guns under the media's pressure So I'm down here writing my thoughts underneath the cellar Making messages that are clever to to spread good vibes or whatever So whether I measure up to the corrupt sound waves and images I'll still try to kill the carcinogens with my musical messages And help kids see that their potential is limitless So quit acting so primitive and go start building some bridges I'm tired of seeing youth thinking they're at the end of their personal ridges Ready to jump, ready to swallow a whole bottle of pills The sight of depressed teens at their ends gives me the chills And I guess I'm empathetic because I know how it feels But it isn't their fault, it's because of pop culture's ideals So to the kids who think they're nothing because something's gone wrong Just know that things will change and you're worth living out life long

White rested on the pine Chilling yet so divine Mist blanketed the snow Rain quietly echoed Soft crunch beneath my feet The view was rather bleak Deeper into the twilight This quiet rainy night And as my shadows stood up To dance in circles where I stood When I stood there alone The deepest part of the woods The creaked and swayed with woe The clouds cried a terrible sob And I continued to stand and listen When the winds played this song Somber is the tale of the woods Her misery's a glacial wave She'd be helped if she could But some people can't be saved White rested on the pine Chilling yet so divine Mist blanketed the snow Rain quietly echoed Soft crunch beneath my feet The view was rather bleak Deeper into the twilight This quiet rainy night And as my shadows stood up To dance in circles where I stood When I stood there all alone The deepest part of the woods The creaked and swayed with woe The clouds cried a terrible sob And I continued to stand and listen When the winds played this song Somber is the tale of the woods Her misery's a glacial wave She'd be helped if she could But some people can't be saved Somber is the tale of the woods Her misery's a glacial wave She'd be helped if she could But some people can't be saved
