Inevitable

One step, or maybe two, to try and escape the world of pain, and maybe you
One jump, and then one leap, to try and get across the river separating life’s anxieties
But you can’t run away from a train that's hitting you at one hundred miles per hour
You’re not a coward if even for a second you think it’s coming too fast
It’s quite a normal thing for a regular human being to be a little nervous, you don’t deserve it, come on you’re worth it
Some things in life you can’t out run
It’s inevitable, quite unforgettable, like that time you and me faced our fears and did nothing
It’s inevitable, maybe regrettable, but it all works out in the end you’ll see, possibly
One day, we’ll see our greatest fears in front of us, it will determine what we’re made of
And one day, we’ll see that there’s little places to run and hide you just have to use what’s inside
But you can’t run away from a train that's hitting you at one hundred miles per hour
You’re not a coward if even for a second you think it’s coming too fast
It’s quite a normal thing for a regular human being to be a little nervous, you don’t deserve it, come on you’re worth it
Some things in life you can’t out run
It’s inevitable, quite unforgettable, like that time you and me faced our fears and did nothing
It’s inevitable, maybe regrettable, but it all works out in the end you’ll see, possibly
You know I can’t guarantee that we’ll all be fine, but I guess that’s what life’s about going into storms blind
You might not see the clouds coming from a thousand miles away, but they’re ready for you
Just you wait, just wait, just wait
But you can’t run away from a train that's hitting you at one hundred miles per hour

Daisies

I’m just laying in the daisies contemplating if I may be human or not
I’m just laying in the daisies no matter how long each day be thinking a lot
I’m just laying in the daisies so please don’t wake me, don't wanna get caught
I’m just laying in the daisies it’s what I’m doing lately and I don’t want to stop, oh no
Cause my mind goes faster than the words that come out, and the thoughts inside my head have reached a maximum amount
The ideas, feelings, and questions going on in my brain make me feel insane but I can’t complain
Cause I brought it upon myself, walked into the daisies knowin’ I wouldn’t walk out, knowing I wouldn’t walk out, oh no
Cause I brought it upon myself, bought the books to put on the bookshelf, the bookshelf, oh no
I’m just laying in the daisies questions on the daily with no answer at all.
I’m just laying in the daisies imagining a place we would never fall
I’m just laying in the daisies so please don’t hate me I’m just taking a call
I’m just laying in the daisies peaceful as a baby and it’s all my fault
Cause my mind goes faster than the words that come out, and the thoughts inside my head have reached a maximum amount
The ideas, feelings, and questions going on in my brain make me feel insane but I can’t complain
Cause I brought it upon myself, walked into the daisies knowin’ I wouldn’t walk out, knowing I wouldn’t walk out, oh no
Cause I brought it upon myself, bought the books to put on the bookshelf, the bookshelf, oh no
Cause I brought it upon myself, walked into the daisies knowin’ I wouldn’t walk out, knowing I wouldn’t walk out, oh no
Cause I brought it upon myself, bought the books to put on the bookshelf, the bookshelf

Why, Oh Why
04:01

Why did the sunshine get covered, by storm clouds dark and grey
And why did my flower shrivel up die, then drift away
Why do the bad things always, happen to the best of all
And why did a movement of change, become unimportant, become small
Why is the rain always coming, down on the brightest of souls
And why do I have to ask these questions, shouldn’t they be solved cause they’re pretty old, oh
Why does the bad always happen, to the good
And why do the misunderstood stay, misunderstood
Why are the clouds always stormy, there’s no blue sky
Why do we keep on struggling
Why, oh why
Why, oh why
Why, oh why
Why, oh why
Why, oh why
Why do we lose the true heroes, that inspire us to keep pushing on
All they were doing was helping, but fate took them, now they’re gone
Why is the grass always greener, in someone else’s backyard
And why when I was just getting the hang of it, life was easy, now it’s hard
Why did my happiness end, I thought I was on a roll
And why do I have to ask these questions, shouldn’t they be solved cause they’re pretty old, oh
Why does the bad always happen, to the good
And why do the misunderstood stay, misunderstood
Why are the clouds always stormy, there’s no blue sky
Why do we keep on struggling
Why, oh why
Why, oh why
Why, oh why
Why, oh why
Why, oh why

I Know Nothing
04:10

Contrary to popular belief, I don’t know as much as you think
It may seem like I have it together, but I don’t
Might know five squared plus four is twenty nine
Might know the first four digits of pi, but that doesn’t mean I know life, alright
All I know is I know nothing at all, welcome to the show we pretend that it’s just all fine we make up lies to get on by
Gotta wing it like nike said just do it, if you believe it enough it becomes true and convinces everyone you know what you’re doing
But real talk can we stop for a minute, the pressures getting to my head I’m quitting
Do you know what it’s like to be shamed for not winning
All I know is I know nothing at all, making up the rest as I go makes this just all good like it should be
But the reality is I know nothing
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
I know nothing
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
I know nothing
Sixteen and feeling a bit ignorant, is that even the right word you know what I meant
Adolescence got me feeling a bit down in the dumps
Assumptions they haunt me like a memory
Please take time to research the real me
Cause then you’d see that I don’t know what I’m doing, what am I doing, here
All I know is I know nothing at all, welcome to the show we pretend that it’s just all fine we make up lies to get on by
Gotta wing it like nike said just do it, if you believe it enough it becomes true and convinces everyone you know what you’re doing
But real talk can we stop for a minute, the pressures getting to my head I’m quitting
Do you know what it’s like to be shamed for not winning
All I know is I know nothing at all, making up the rest as I go makes this just all good like it should be
But the reality is I know nothing
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
I know nothing
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
I know nothing
You thought I had it but you’re wrong
I’m hanging off of a tightrope, one slip and I just might go down
I never knew it but it sounds
Like I know a lot but it’s not what you think, and all my thoughts don’t really mean anything
The only way left out is up
Reality can be what you want it to be, believe in yourself and then you’ll see
All I know is I know nothing at all, welcome to the show we pretend that it’s just all fine we make up lies to get on by
Gotta wing it like nike said just do it, if you believe it enough it becomes true and convinces everyone you know what you’re doing
But real talk can we stop for a minute, the pressures getting to my head I’m quitting
Do you know what it’s like to be shamed for not winning
Cause all I know is I know nothing at all, making up the rest as I go makes this just all good like it should be
But the reality is I know nothing
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
I know nothing
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
I know nothing

After the Storm
04:22

Look to the future but not too far, it gets hazy, a little bizarre
Hold on to the things that bring joy, even if you don't enjoy
The process, take a rest, just one breath, then go
Take it in but don't dwell on the times where you can't seem to find the good
But living should
be about the present tie a bow yes I meant it, one problem at a time
Find the flame in the fire reaching for your heart's desire, everything will be fine
If you just look ahead think about the ending instead, the panic starts to subside
Find goals for yourself don't appease no one else, we're all kinda one of a kind
Cause after the storm comes the shine
Take time to appreciate, what you've done it all takes strength
Pushing on isn't an easy task when you're forced to wear a mask of lies
I'm okay, let's do today, but you want to say, let's stop
A second of happiness can fuel the desire to keep climbing higher, it could
But living should
be about the present tie a bow yes I meant it, one problem at a time
Find the flame in the fire reaching for your heart's desire, everything will be fine
If you just look ahead think about the ending instead, the panic starts to subside
Find goals for yourself don't appease no one else, we're all kinda one of a kind
Cause after the storm comes the shine
The wind is whipping as you're trudging through the sea, if you keep on pushing on then you will see
A faint hint of light creeping through the clouds, an ending of peacefulness then you have found
The wind is whipping as you're trudging through the sea, if you keep on pushing on then you will see
A faint hint of light creeping through the clouds, an ending of peacefulness then you have found
But life should be about the present tie a bow yes I meant it, one problem at a time
Find the flame in the fire reaching for your heart's desire, everything’ll be fine
If you just look ahead think about the ending instead, the panic starts to subside
Find goals for yourself don't appease no one else, we're all kinda one of a kind
But after the storm comes the shine
