Say Goodnight

There goes my reason
One day it’ll return to help me put back together my world
Until then, I’m going to have to find a way to survive before the end
Of the line, will I have enough time or will I say
Goodnight?
The summer’s closing fast
And this is all too sweet to last
What we have is only what we remember
Will I see you come September?
The expert’s saying “no”
But here’s to wishing that we give it one more go
We’ve been down before
Who’s to say that it can’t happen anymore?
There goes my reason
One day it’ll return to help me put back together my world
Until then, I’m going to have to find a way to survive before the end
Of the line, will I have enough time or will I say
Goodnight?
Open your eyes then you’ll see
That you’re standing nowhere close to me
Where’d you go, why’d you leave?
There is someone that you want to deceive
I know it can’t be me
There’d have to be bigger reasons for you to flee
Where’d you go, why’d you leave?
You’ve got me thinking so illogically
There goes my reason
One day it’ll return to help me put back together my world
Until then, I’m going to have to find a way to survive before the end
Of the line, will I have enough time or will I say
Goodnight?
There goes my best friend
Always seems to leave and never tell me why
Am I the one to stay behind?
I’m always the last to say good night

Fever

I’ve got a fever building now
Much too sick of waiting
For you to come around
My fever’s built up now
I am riding your storm out
Hitch me to your speed wagon
Something inside chases me down
Your storm has taken over
Your eyes are burning red
Let your tears act as the rain
Let them wash away this struggle
Show me it wasn’t in vain
My fever’s going down
So many times I’ve felt like now
Just when it all seems okay
Well here it comes
Only you can cure me now
Don’t ask me why or how
I think you were sent to save me
But you won’t
The inside’s flowing out
You can see I’m crazy
Don’t know what I talk about
Just know you’re the one who breaks me
Wipe that dirt off of your face
Face the truth, I’m failing
Heading into oblivion
Unless you choose to save me
My fever’s going down
So many times I’ve felt like now
Just when it all seems okay
Well here it comes
Only you can cure me now
Don’t ask me why or how
I think you were sent to save me
But you won’t
I’ve got a fever building now
Much too sick of waiting

Sorry

Incessantly, endlessly, nothing seems to go right
Unmistakably, can’t deny, nothing is all right
It’s pulling me under, rumbling like thunder, now I just wait
For the lightning to strike me
Can I satisfy, mollify, while I try my hardest
To justify why I am still alive
Can’t give you an answer, my karma’s a cancer, I must apologize
For being so petrified around you
Sorry, I can’t bring myself to tears for you, you know I want to
You tantalize every nerve and my eyes, when you say goodbye, that’s when I know
I need you
The days they fly, years go by, I am still shattered
Memories, pleasantries, they don’t comfort me any more
It’s stressing me out, I’m filling with doubt, can I ever
Hope to pull myself together
I’ve done it right, every time, nothing breaks my way
By the book, different looks, the result’s the same
Though I know I deserve this, I cannot reverse this, I am cursed
To sit here watching you fade away
Sorry, I can’t bring myself to tears for you, you know I want to
You tantalize every nerve and my eyes, when you say goodbye, that’s when I know
I need you
Desperate, violent, everything’s out of my control
Temperate, moderate, things I wish I were
You’ve cut me to pieces, my poor soul, it ceases to be
I’ll tell you one last time
Sorry, I can’t bring myself to tears for you, you know I want to
You tantalize every nerve and my eyes, when you say goodbye, that’s when I know
I need you

Living The Dream

Living the American Dream
Isn’t all that it’s made out to be
I see people living on the streets
And they beg to me
Sir, can you spare a dime?
I can’t even spare my time
I don’t care about charity
All I care for is M-E
This is my America today
All I can do is hope that one day it might change
It’s not who you are
It’s not who you know
It’s only about the money
That’s all you need to know
But what if my daddy were poor?
All I would ask for would be more
Than he could ever give
What kind of way is that to live?
Hard work will take you far
But what if you can’t afford a car?
It’s kind of hard to give full effort
When you’re stuck where you are
It doesn’t matter who’s capable
All that matters is who’s able to pay
His way to the top of the line
So don’t get in the way
This is my America today
All I can do is hope that one day it might change
It’s not who you are
It’s not who you know
It’s only about the money
That’s all you need to know
This is retribution for the Reagan revolution
Political prostitution diluting simple solutions
Perpetuated by media, creating confusion
On American dreams, the ultimate illusions
While health contusions harm wealthy humans
Stress-fed tumors amass a size so gruesome
The rich can afford to remove them
Other classes are left to suffer in a system that excludes them
Democratic Congressmen, what happened to change?
Instead of building highways, they just switched lanes
Emerging economies lose autonomy to international chains
Exchanged for American corporate gain
Things aren't as bad as they seem, but not as good either
For my fighters who have been through fire with a new desire
Who understand the courage it takes to be survivors
Awake Americans, we are the outliers
This is my America today
All I can do is hope that one day it might change
It’s not who you are
It’s not who you know
It’s only about who’s rich
Enough to run this show
It’s not who you are
It’s not who you know
It’s only about the money
That’s all you need to know
It’s not who you are
It’s not who you know
It’s only about the money
That’s all you need to know

Faith
05:13

I try to convince myself that my love doesn’t equal pain
And that my being genuine doesn’t all go down in vain
I’m searching the whole wide world, is there any hope in me?
I’m delving into people’s souls is there any still worthy?
So now I question my faith "is there anyone who believes?"
And now I question the world 'is there anyone like me
Still searching around for the answer to the one sure thing he needs?"
And I’m keeping faith in myself, if no one else will I will still believe in me
As I travel the world around how do they always fail to see
That there still remain some souls that go uncorrupted and clean?
I’m glad I’m strong enough to ignore what they say to me
Their words don’t mean a thing because they don’t even know me
So now I question my faith "is there anyone who believes?"
And now I question the world 'is there anyone like me
Still searching around for the answer to the one sure thing he needs?"
And I’m keeping faith in myself, if no one else will I will still believe in me
There have been so many days and weeks when my world spun away
I just look inside myself and I know I’ll be okay
I know there’s someone out there who is bound to share my dreams
I’d put my soul on the line for just one chance to meet
So now I question my faith "is there anyone who believes?"
And now I question the world 'is there anyone like me
Still searching around for the answer to the one sure thing he needs?"
And I’m keeping faith in myself, if no one else will I will still believe in me

Unable

I have no interest in the others
You’ve got me drunk solely off your beauty
Your scent drives me crazy
Your skin shines like a drop of honey (drop of honey)
I need to make you mine
But how I am to try
And achieve that which I always dream?
I only dream of you with me (you with me)
I feel so hopeless
Unable to find the touch
Unable to stop this rush
Unable to break through
A tu corazón
How do you remain so blind?
I thought that the way I love
Was obvious, but it’s obvious that I
For you have lost my mind (lost my mind)
In spite of all this distance
I would give everything I am
And everything that I have been
If I had you next to me (next to me)
It’s clear the gods have made you; this yearning serves me no use
I swear that I’ll never change the way that I feel
Until then and only when you say goodbye
Don’t tell me goodbye, angelita
I feel so hopeless
Unable to find the touch
Unable to stop this rush
Unable to break through
A tu corazón
Still searching for love
