So this could be your background noise/ Or this could be your amusement/ But we're gonna let you decide how you choose to take our music/ 'Cuz while we travel states and provinces/ Just trying to keep our promises/ Before we find out where the bottom is/ We just want you to know that you're part of this/ And while our past is sordid/ We're still listener supported/ I've gotta find the courage to say the things I need to say/ One day the truth will surface and I'll be closer to okay/
2.
Try and stop me/ Only I can stop me/ Jersey branded/ Cut me off at the knees I'm still standing/ And you can't stand it/ Success might still be years away and I'm looking for my big score/ I've got people that I used to call friends not speaking to me anymore/ And I've been working on brand new solutions To deal with reality and illusion/ Cuz an object that's in motion Tends to stay in motion And an object that's at rest Will always fail the test And thats the only thing I know/So come with me, we're about to go/My friends like to tell me life is a goldmine /But I can't see an entrance or a road sign/ I'm the master of my destiny but a slave to my ambition/ In a world of outsiders, I'm an outsider I don't care what I'm missing/
3.
I think I'd rather be alone tonight/I think i'd rather sit back and see what Netflix has to say 'cuz its better than waiting, better than debating how to fix all the problems you gave me/I'd rather stay in tonight/ I've never been a big fan of the parties you throw anyway/ and it makes me feel useless, like I just cant do this and I know you wont be there to save me/ and they say time heals all wounds/ well time better hurry the fuck up/ cuz its been way too long since i've seen the light of day/ now this blinding light it just doesn't feel right. I cant make this okay/ cuz its been way too long since i've seen the light of day/ and I cant make the world go away/ There's a thousand miles between the way things are and the way they should be/ and you and I know how good things could be/ but you still call me naive/ So I'd rather be alone tonight/ I think id rather sit back and watch a TV show/ Because you're about to see me go insane/ (i'm already insane) I may not even get off the couch today/ I'm fighting a never-ending battle making the thought of you go away/ but I cant for even a minute/ maybe because we are so kindred/ So if you need me I'll be sitting here all day/

I havent had power in 8 straight days/ and snow on halloween just sent the east coast in a craze/ just makes me wish i wasn't so dependent/ but i'll take any warmth I can get/ Ive got everything I might need/ A sweatshirt with a thermal underneath/ and I've been sleeping on MPF's couch (just feeling like a waste of space) But he's got a shower in his house/ But I can't wash this pain away/ Remember just the other day when we finally had a show to play but mother nature had her way/ So with this hand i've been given I put a middle finger up and say fuck the town I live in and I miss my dad and mom Ive played for hours, can't beat this game and I know I'm not the only one that feels this and I'm ashamed Just makes me wonder what if I was somewhere thoughts like this would never come there My point of view would just be shattered cuz none of this would ever matter and as I lay here on this couch (just thinking about those awful days) the thought that travels to my mouth (is may never leave this place) where I spent every single day it somehow keeps my friends at bay they're stuck here too. I guess i'll stay and I know more storms will come and this feeling will be gone by the end of this
5.
I've been thinking about all of the places that I came from/ I can think up a list a mile long but I can't name one/ You're the reason why I'm feeling this pain/ And you're the reason why I'll be okay/ And I won't hide myself away/ I love this life you gave to me/ But I know I can be better than this/ Because you showed me that I could be/ And I know you see me when you look down/ Until we meet again, I'll see you around
6.
This has been the worst damn year/ The worst day of my life and you can't even be here/ And I can't stand this pain I'm feeling/ Its so revealing and I can't make these start healing/ I'm losing all my friends and now i'm losing myself/ I've gotta find the courage to say the things I need to say/ One day the truth will surface and I'll be closer to okay/ This pain I feel, I know that it's not real/ And I know that I am not the only one/ And now I know I've grown to be the man that I'm supposed to be/ And I can feel you close to me/ I've got this feeling you're not gone/ My daily prescription keeps increasing slowly/ It keeps from being a monster around the ones that know me/ But I always see the monsters/ I pretend that they're not there, that doesn't make them disappear/ And now i've found the courage to say the things I need to say/ One day the truth will surface and I'll be closer to okay/ You're not real. Go away.
