Still Alive

Walked by a graveyard to collect my thoughts
Maybe I'll be lying in the ground soon,
and my flesh and bone will rot
I'm making my way with what I know,
'cause any day could be the day I go
'Cause it's so easy to dream and thats
all you had me do
Made the real world seem so fake
and then got left without a clue
So get a whole load of me 'cause I'm
gone and I'm chasing my life
As dead as I am to you
I'm still alive
The mists of the morning cloud the world around me
'cause lately I don't wanna see anything
Or hear anyone bitch about my whereabouts and wit
My teeth grind and grit 'cause I don't want to hear this shit
'Cause it's so easy to dream and thats
all you had me do
Made the real world seem so fake
and then got left without a clue
So get a whole load of me 'cause I'm
gone and I'm chasing my life
As dead as I am to you
I'm still alive
I'm still alive
(i'm still alive)
I'm still alive
(I'm still alive)
I'm still alive
(I'm still alive)
I'm still alive
I'm still alive

One Yell

Waking up in a land
full of hurricanes
grabbing me by my head
whipping me out of my mind
holding me by my throat
telling me I'm gonna kill you
and take you down under
Well take another look
at the army behind you
'Cause you seem so shook to me
But still your heart sings
We have one yell
we have one yell inside us
our secret spell
nothing can stop us now
Bang, bang, bang, bang bang,
bring the noise make it
ring, ring, ring, ring ring
from the mountains
you'll have to climb
to see the light
and I'll find you at the top
with arms open wide
Well take another gaze
at the road you've walked
and tell me are you phased?
more than a lot
Well take another look
at the army behind you
'Cause you seem so shook to me
But still your heart sings
We have one yell
we have one yell inside us
our secret spell
nothing can stop us now
See the light break through the crowd
see the tree break through the ground
all the demons in my eyes
are released with every cry
I'll always know when
you're with me
I'll always know when the voices lift me
I'll always be there
for you and,
i'll always be yelling
right here next to you
We have one yell
we have one yell inside us
our secret spell
nothing can stop us now
We have one yell
we have one yell inside us
our secret spell
nothing can stop us now

Streets

If the rain falls than I'll
finally shower this week
and if the sun shines than I'm
gonna feel the days heat
bounce off the streets
I'm beginning to call home
my company they'll keep
since all of my friends are gone
They watched me
they watched me fall
they watched me
they watched me fall
The wooden bench in the park
Don't give me the same dreams
and I've been thinking about my youth
When you'd kiss me to sleep
I'm sorry
Nothing is what
I've made myself to be
But my chances aren't gone
as long as my heart still beats
and i've been looking towards the sky
getting lost in its blue eyes
the only way I can go is up
but my will was never enough
'Cause i've made mistakes in life
and my regrets pile high
but nothing I've done in my life,
makes me deserve to walk the streets
at night
I never took nobody's life
but oh I still
feel the strife
'cause i'm stuck here
standing on the edge of this knife
The wooden bench in the park
Don't give me the same dreams
and I've been thinking about my youth
When you'd kiss me to sleep
I'm sorry
Nothing is what
I've made myself to be
But my chances aren't gone
as long as my heart still beats
and you better believe
that I'm not giving up
sitting here at rock bottom and i'm looking towards the top
the streets are calling my name
they're calling my name
They watched me, they watched me fall
And i'll breath smoke into the trees
and i'll fall back asleep
and i'll try and catch my dreams
whatever's gonna make me
happy again

Our personalities match just like
My beer and liquor
does with my liver
those nights I'm home exiled
for years this seemed right
sharing non-adjacent lives
made my thumb into a knife
then i dragged cross my throat
I'm thinning my time lately
I'm ten years ahead of where I should be
and my breath is taken from me
as you build my life around misery
I know this ain't right
for our lives to be together
but think of our time
and how these situations weather
if we stay
we'll just
keep each other tethered
but don't worry sweat heart
I won't be around forever
(Viana)
I could've been someone
but you tore me down
and innocent eyes saw you push me around
and I can't wait for you to get
out of my town
take my misery with you
and I promise not to frown
no I promise not to frown, no
I know this ain't right
for our lives to be together
but think of our time
and how these situations weather
if we stay
we'll just
keep each other tethered
but don't worry sweat heart
I won't be around forever
our personalities match, just like
my beer and liquor
did with my liver
those nights you kicked me out
it's been ten years baby
those years still drive me crazy
at least when I think of you
I don't hear a sound
no I don't hear a sound

You can't be like me
'cause I got more than you can handle
You can't see through me
'cause my light is fading from my candle
Always in the dark
'Cause we're a rare bunch
dying slowly
'Cause we're a rare bunch
the kids don't like me
they'll disrespect us
because I use my head
and they'll laugh at us
until this
rare bunch of us is dead
(Davis)
They see a blur in the faces of the crowd
and they feel the royalty in the choking of their sound
they toy with human nature, make it a disease
and they feed their medicine to the minds of the weak
Oh why not us
'Cause we're a rare bunch
dying slowly
'Cause we're a rare bunch
the kids don't like me
they'll disrespect us
because I use my head
and they'll laugh at us
until this
rare bunch of us is dead
Live the life you want, not the life you're told to
(Davis)
live the life you want, don't let it leave you
Well I don't care
about what they say
'cause they'll laugh at us
Anyway
'Cause we're a rare bunch
dying slowly
'Cause we're a rare bunch
the kids don't like me
they'll disrespect us
because I use my head
and they'll laugh at us
until this
rare bunch of us is dead

Won't Be Around Forever

And I can not remember
the last time that I felt the grace of this place
and I hear those streets
calling at me louder
and watching the dreams that they take
It's making my body shake
So just take me
in one more time
I promise I'll leave everything behind
In this place that used to be
home to me
and I'll be gone with the early morning breeze
and all i'll take
From this Shawshank with streets-signs
are memories
of when I saw life a little more clearly
I left home and took nothing but my heart
and i've been searching for my piece of mind
and a new start
but you've got to let go of me
So just take me
in one more time
I promise I'll leave everything behind
In this place that used to be
home to me
and I'll be gone with the early morning breeze
So long I'm gone I'm head and I'm heart strong
'Cause I can't find the answers around here
so they've got to be out there somewhere
but you've got to let go of me
'cause I won't be around forever
'cause I won't be around forever
'cause I won't be around forever
'cause I won't be around forever
