Wishful Thinking

How was I supposed to know
it was time to let it go?
Somewhere you gave up the dream well I
guess that wasn't up to me
Looks like I've been left on my own with
nothing left to show
Cause I've always been a little slow
but this looks like a new low
Welcome to the end of the line oh please
wish me better luck next time
They can all say what they want
I'm never gonna stop
I won't drag them down
This might be all just wishful thinking
but I think I will stick around
I won't ever quits
This might be all just wishful thinking,
but I think they can't handle this
I could use a fresh new start
got losing down to an art
This may be my only chance to
prove to myself I won't come last
So if that is your best shot
man you better make it count
Don't know what they're in for this time
Cause they're not putting up a fight
I'm gonna make 'em see the light
Judge and jury set me free
give me strength to just be me
My whole life, always believed that there's
just some things I could never be, no they
Haven't seen anything yet I’m gonna
show 'em something they won't forget

Gun For Hire

Well I've got my bad ideas
and you've got your strange desires
Good thing we've made this connection
want to see how far we can let this go
Oh let me know
I've got my high hopes and dreams
and you've got your down to earth plans
But I’m just so young and restless
think this time I'm finally gonna blow
Gonna explode
I’m a lover not a fighter but I’d be your gun for hire
if you’d let it go
And I think things would be better if we’d just get it together girl
let me know
What it takes to be the one
I've got electric guitars
and you've got your friends and sisters
All the boys think they’d be better
but honey we both know they don’t know me
So I disagree
What it takes to be
The one that you want at the end of the night
The one that you need to be in your life
The one that you know's gonna put up the fight
To be the best damn man you've ever had

Whatever It Takes

Is it worse to be the quitter
or worse to be the winner when we
When we’re not fighting anymore
then tell me what we’re dying for
Spinning out of control faster
looks like this is a catastrophe
And nothing’s ever been so clear
you gotta get me outta here.
I just want to make it through
Find the difference between love and truth
Find what it means to be a man
When you’ve got nothing left to lose
And I don’t want to know the answers
cause the cure is worse than the disease
Who knows how this all will end
man I guess that just depends
I can see the smoking gun
marching closer to extinction
Don’t want to go out like this
not as a Goddamn hypocrite
Not listening to your fighting words
maybe you just haven’t heard
We’re not martyrs anymore
I’ll tell you what we’re living for
Just because the ship is sinking
that doesn’t mean that I’ll just quit and leave
Looks like they just raised the stakes
I’ll do whatever it takes

Confessions and Lies
03:41

It's just a penny for your thoughts it's just dollar for my lies
when we're far too broke for either and I can't look you in the eyes
And I can't find anyone to sympathize
so won't you please just take me away
And I’m still so very lonely cause all I’ve got is this mirror
I hate the things I see in it it just shows me but clearer
Who's to say who is a villain when we never found a hero
Some things they never change
So here's to you this is my last confession
It may not be the truth but baby I got discretion
No amount of praying's gonna change what I am
I wish I was dead
And it may be so cliche but I can't take anymore
When everyday's the same the hell am I living for
When nothing ever changes why should I give a damn
I wish I was dead
How can anyone stand living when everything's so fleeting
and every time I stop and think I think my brain needs cleaning
The greatest joke that was ever told pretended this had meaning
when everything's just a game
So here we are in this slow suicide
and everytime we question it we might just realize
That the greatest things in life are the one's we’ll never find
That nothing gold ever stays
