Inevitable 02:46
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 03:40
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

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

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
