I never could make it seem possible. These demons inside me are unstoppable. My typical reaction is pack a bowl and think logical Retract from the world. Kept it together but ten years caught up so fast All the good times, I thought I could make them last. But what did I know I was only 17 years old. Life sped up, a blur gone by. Lessons learned but I’m glad I tried. I made mistakes but that’s the part of playing life’s game charades. You think you know, you don’t know Then you turn out the same. Not a damn thing changed till you breakdown And decide to walk a different route. In hopes to please the crowds Who stuck beside you in every moment And every lyric bleeding out Find your higher peace and sleep 21 with eyes that cannot see. It’s a bit cynical I know But I don’t care You can change if you want to. No, I don’t care I don’t care You can change if you want to. You’d think I’d learn one damn thing by 22. Always acting a fool Up until I met my boo It was love that was overdue But I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Grace was taking place Didn’t see the lines I needed to trace Took some time then I changed my ways Did an about-face;Got rid of the glaze But there will always be a fire to blaze. Chorus You learn as you grow. You can change if you want to. Isn’t that what growing up is for? You can change if you want to.

You’re gonna believe all the words that you say, You're gonna be alright someday. You’re gonna believe all the words that you say, Gonna be alright some sunny day. Times are hard and it's getting even harder I can't even stand to see my face in the mirror. And i dont know which way is up or even if I truly give f***(What) about... What's going on around me. Been gone for long I cannot see. So I go to the store a pack of smokes I pick up 20 sticks of sanity my dog and a pick up truck. I'm heading for the creek, just a little needed therapy, Skipping stones and singing to the birds in the trees. I take a deep down breath, this life of insanity, This alone time is key when you're building a dream. But I haven't been able to go to sleep. I've been tossing and turning up and down this busy street for so long. You’re gonna believe all the words that you say, You're gonna be alright someday. You’re gonna believe all the words that you say, Gonna be alright some sunny day. Minds are running, mine is running even faster. How am I supposed to be a better man if I can't master What inspires the sound will surely be passed around, it'll Make you stand tall with your head on the ground. This inspiration is key to setting your head free. The four walls we were caught up in between Is no metaphor for the eyes that cannot see It was so long ago it feels just like a dream. You’re gonna believe all the words that you say, You're gonna be alright someday. You’re gonna believe all the words that you say, Gonna be alright some sunny day.

Hey man you call that grooving? You gotta dance with two feet dawg! And I ain't never ever felt, like I never felt, like I never felt like this I'm so gone.... This beat! Has got my blood pulsing deep inside of me... There’s no words that will bring you to your knees Just close your eyes, yes close your eyes and dance with me. But your back is broken every day's a struggle You gotta pick or choose which way your gonna win or lose Your attitude causing you... to lose grip and stumble straight down to the ground You can't let it go! Stand tall… Look me in the eye ‘cuz I’m telling you this ain’t some sort of trick or lie You gotta fight to be free This whole world’s distracting From the path that could be. Just close your eyes, yes dance with me. But your third eye’s been broken Every day's a struggle you gotta pick or choose which way your gonna win or lose Your attitude causing you... to lose grip and stumble Straight down to the ground, YA And all the while there's the internal battle It’s really bringing me down. You gotta turn yourself around If I were you I would just find a way to Just let it go! Save for the sake of yourself, you’ll be coming around.

I was born in the age from a different time and place I can’t erase all of the pain that I’ve engraved In my mind’s state. I’m old dog now and you know that I don’t do no tricks I’ll keep your body groovin’ so you can get your fix With the bass line humming, never give up. Gotta keep on running. And the beat keeps drumming it goes on and on and on The same old feeling like an old old song. I think my mind is beginning to feel that homegrown. I sit back relax and think about the world And how I can do my part and how to make it real. How I can’t feel the pain that others can feel. I wanna do something to set the path right. Like keep someone warm on a cold cold night. We gotta fight through all this hate and senseless killings. Love and Endurance is what we should be building. Gotta stand up tall to live this dream. With a little bit of work, our futures will be gleaming. Reality hits quick a higher consciousness Straight fixed on this riff but I really been feeling this spliff And I’m ready for a shift. Wrong place wrong time Searching for the ways to feel fine. Spending all my days chilling, relaxing in the sunshine. I’m never pressing rewind, never looking back. I’m never gonna give in to the darkness of my past. I will choose to be an honest man. Try to stop the violence rising in the main land. I can never claim I’ll understand the plan. How much can we really withstand? We got anger taking over. There’s no shoulder To cry upon and the pain won’t get older. Fight for your happiness, for higher consciousness Or even to relieve some stress. We’re handed what were handed and there’s no way to change that You choose who you want to be, that's a matter of fact. Even if you can’t breathe, having a panic attack. It is no good to be living like that. We gotta fight through all this hate and senseless killings. Love and Endurance is what we should be building. Gotta stand up tall to live this dream. With a little bit of work, our futures will be gleaming. Reality hits quick a higher consciousness Straight fixed on this riff but I really been feeling this spliff And I’m ready for a shift. Wrong place, wrong time. Searching for the ways to feel fine. Spending all my days chilling, relaxing in the sunshine. I’m never pressing rewind, never looking back. I’m never gonna give in to the darkness of my past. I will choose to be an honest man. Try to stop the violence rising in the main land. I can never claim I’ll understand the plan. How much can we really withstand? You gotta find your own way. You gotta live another day. Gotta fight through this haze That has left you in the wrong age You gotta find your own way. You gotta live another day. Gotta fight through this haze

Today is sign that today is mine. I always feel better in the sunshine The greenest grass, right in my hand; Makes my mind stand still... I breathe in the air for sweet particulars I care, Stands my hair, such an overwhelming feeling. Neurological breech, like a storm on the beach Leave me dry and sandy. And I know we're running out of time And I know my souls far from dying. Slow down time and close in your mind, And find time alone so beautiful. Sweet brother of mine, I know you can find Inner peace in a life that's meaningful. And I know we're running out of time And I know nothing.... And I know we're running out of time And I know my soul's far from dying...

I got the whole world around me pointing their fingers Judicious, rolling their tongues with words of resistance. How fictitious that these words, they don’t inspire... They catch fire inside of your eyelid. Blink away all you’ve seen, your life’s entire. I've been hired to light this fire. If I could sing, I’d sing like a choir. Ya... How I love the night sky I’m sitting out here, dreamy and listening To the sounds of the earth that set my soul on fire. I can see clear. For the first time in my life I feel I’m doing things right. These stars keep me in the right direction Pointing toward you...

Found myself laying on the floor like before How many times? I don’t want to seem like a chore. But could you spare some time? I’m in need of a friend. I made some bad choices and I found a deadend. And I was heading down my path Everything seemed so bright. Shit was going my way. Ya, I could win any fight. Then I started doing something just a little too often And found myself always falling but my boots were still knocking. I could never learn my lessons, no. No matter how many times I tried. I don’t think my words could fix it. Nor ever would I try. I could never learn my lesson You know it’s true that I’ve been stressing. How many times I left for question And for years I’ve been obsessing. What’s present in others lives And what’s worth a life’s investment? I never really thought it was true, until I found you. Ya, I found you and I said and I found it true I knew I would regret it All those times I never could forget it All those cries and those lies and those tries. Take them Away I could never learn my lessons, no. No matter how many times I tried. I don’t think my words could fix it. Nor ever would I try.
