These Walls
03:20
|

|
What can I do to take my mind off everything
What can I say to make myself feel right again
I looked for a meaning, I looked for a reason
To stay within
These walls I call my home
These walls I call my home
And even when you walk away
I’ll save all my memories
And even when I run away
I’ll keep all your stories with me
There is nothing you could do to lose me
I would never ask to change that now
There is nothing you could do to bruise me
Even when they tear down these walls I call home
What if it means that we are weaker than we thought?
What if I told the time but deny that it moves on?
I looked in between what it means to think that we are lost
Without these walls we call our home
These walls we call our home
And even when you walk away
I’ll save all my memories
And even when I run away
I’ll keep all your stories with me
There is nothing you could do to lose me
I would never ask to change that now
There is nothing you could do to bruise me
Even when they tear down these walls I call home
We’ll figure it out
Maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow
It’ll all come around
One of these days we’ll save ourselves the sorrow
Somehow
And even when you walk away
I’ll save all my memories
And even when I run away
I’ll keep all your stories with me
There is nothing you could do to lose me
I would never ask to change that now
There is nothing you could do to bruise me
Even when they tear down these walls I call home

Typical
03:24
|
|||
|
Everyone is an activist
Changing the world with a single click
Share it to friends then be done with it
A pat on the back cause you gave a shit
Everyone is a gun to someone
Go and cause harm then disarm the argument
Later on they will go and blame the innocent
Then they’ll try to tell us that a suit will bring in changes
How do you like me now? (x2)
That’s so typical
And I should have seen it coming
Well I suppose
We all just need a moment to call our own
We all just need a moment to own it all
It seems that love is getting harder to find
Maybe it is hidden under countless right swipes
Maybe that’s difference, we see love through our likes
Everyone’s a model before husbands or wives
I wanna show you just how I feel
A double tap so you know it’s real
I got laughed at put in the fast track
To lose a couple followers but I’ll solve with a hashtag
How do you like me now? (x4)
That’s so typical
And I should have seen it coming
Well I suppose
We all just need a moment to call our own
We all just need a moment to own it all
Who are you to think that you authorize
What it truly means when we socialize
When did we end up in this compromise
Where everything we touch ends up paralyzed
Why is it that we can’t see common ground
How can we not see that we’ve broken down
Desperately in need of a cleaner sound
Well how do you like me now?
Chorus

Too Young
03:28
|
|||
|
I don’t want to be perfect for you
In any of the ways that you do
And I don’t want to let it fall through
But what is there left to pursue
Too young to say goodbye
Too dumb to wonder why
All the good ones leave this life
A little too early, before their time
I don’t want to live forever
Never knowing if I made the right move
There’s something bitterly sweet
Going on in my head but what is there left prove
Too young to say goodbye
Too dumb to wonder why
All the good ones leave this life
A little too early, before their time
I don’t wanna miss you yet
I don’t wanna miss you
Don’t know when I
Found out it’s just that
I did some thinking with the time spent alone
Too young to say goodbye
Too dumb to wonder why
All the good ones leave this life
A little too early, before their time
I don’t wanna miss you yet
I don’t wanna miss you

Rest On Me
03:35
|
|||
|
Won’t you rest on me
As we drift into the night
Won’t you live for me
When I disappear from sight
An open hand, how it reaches
Out to block the light
But the sun always finds
A way to blind the eye
When looking to the sky
And when I feel you take your last breath
I wanna peel the weight from your chest
I’ll wear it with me till my death bed
Cause I never learned to listen
Ooh ooh god damn
That sun is hot as hell
When you’re wearing nothing else
I figured out
The sun was there to help
But I hid behind the clouds
I said
I’ll never let you go
Never let you go again
As I let go of your hand
I’ll never let you go
Never let you go again
I know you don’t understand
Won’t you rest on me
As we move into the day
Don’t you feel the heat
The need to hide in shade
An open mind, how it roams
Sometimes out of spite
But the sun always finds
A way to blind the eye
When looking to the sky
Bound by my ways
Taken by the praise I never saw that you were sinking
Down to the grave
I should have saved the day but I was busy overthinking

Little Italy
03:54
|
|||
|
There comes a time when we all must look inside
Stop and realize all the reasons for leaving it all behind
I won’t deny that I over work my mind
Sometimes I just find myself overly sentimental
But who is to blame
The player or game
Oh what a shame it is to know it’s not your name
Long lost little Italy
What more can I say
Please don’t take my friends away
Long lost little Italy
I hope to you see soon
Come back in a year or two
And what can we tell from a heart that starts to dwell
When it’s hard to say farewell to all the times you wish to get back now
But when in the moment, I took I took you for granted
And now that we’re passed it, oh I wish I could relive it
Long lost little Italy
What more can I say
Please don’t take my friends away
Long lost little Italy
I hope to you see soon
Come back in a year or two
Time is the test, let us hope it’s for the best
Cause I could never tell you
I could never tell you to stay
I could never tell you
I could never tell you to stay (x2)
To stay with me (x4)
