I'm so sick of people telling me I only believe
Because it's what I've been taught all my life
But how hard is it to believe
That I can make up my own mind?
That my parents got some things right
I choose what's right
I choose what I see as truth in my life
It doesn't matter where it came from
And it doesn't make you better than me
Ignore the fact that not everyone who's living this out
Started out that way
But it's all I hear you say
Most of my friends had to abandon
The earlier parts of their life
To get things straight
To get things right
It's not my fault I was born around it
I've been singing these songs
Since my very first Sunday
I'll be singing these songs
Until the day I die

Everything Is Okay

When everything's okay
And nothing's wrong
We can't tell the difference
Between the night and the light of day
And why do I get trampled down
For trying to take a stand?
Why do I get broken down
For trying to be a better man?
But I could see how it's coming down our way
I could see how people play this game
And I know that things can't stay the same
But I could see how it's coming down our way
I wonder if in thirty years
I'll still be standing here
And be able to lift my head without any shame
I know the tide is rising
I know but I keep on trying
To stay true to what I know
To hold fast and not let go
When everything's okay
I can't tell the difference

No One Else Around
02:55

I am here
So are they
But somehow we're not in the same place
The things
People do
It's lonely knowing the truth
It's lonely knowing the truth
I'm on my side and I'm taking my fight
But there's no one else around
I found my light in the dark outside
And they want me to shut it down
Everyone can't love the same things
But I know we all want to
It's lonely, it's lonely knowing the truth
I have found
What I need
And no one else can see
I can wait for you
But it's lonely knowing the truth
It's lonely knowing the truth
What a burden to bear
Oh, woe is me
A martyr dying alone
Is there anyone who will listen?
I'm forced to walk on my own
Just hear me out, hear me now

Sleep
03:54
|

You come up and say to me
You can't believe this happening
And ask me things I've said a hundred times
I could tell you everything
Just a reminder of how I'm feeling
And the conversation quickly runs dry
It's been pounding all this time
Maybe I don't want to see you cry
Life's full of tragedy
A few smiles in between
And this is exactly where I don't want to be
All alone in my room at night
In my bed with all the lights
Because we both know that I can't sleep
We both know that I can't sleep
I guess you do this every time
I just lie, say I'm alright
But I'm out for the first time this week
You tell me things will be just fine
How many times have I heard that line?
I just don't want to feel what I'm feeling
Maybe I don't want to think about what's happening
Maybe I just need a little time
Maybe you should stop talking to me
Maybe I already know that I'll be fine
That I'll be fine
