Only Human

I need direction, I need release
When will it come to me, to me
You had me going, oh I need help
Now there's a hole in my soul, a hole
Wish I could feel something more, something real
My insides are torn, my face is worn
All day I walk with my zombie smile
I confess, I'm a mess, but I'm only human
You gave me joy, you brought me peace,
someday's it's not enough, not enough
Please help me cope, but understand
My mind is not all clear, not clear
Wish I could feel something more, something real
My insides are torn, my face is worn
All day I walk with my zombie smile
I confess, I'm a mess, but I'm only human
Some space in time, let it be mine
For just the thoughts are jumbled.
I can't see straight, I hesitate:
Pick Me Up! Pick Me Up! Pick Me Up! AHHHHHH (3x's)
Focus on a spot, try to connect the dots
on the future, not the past
See past my ups and downs, its ok to frown
You're only human, we're only human.
Wish I could feel something more, something real
My insides are torn, my face is worn
All day I walk with my zombie smile
I confess, I'm a mess, but I'm only human
I'm only human, oh ohhhh oh

I Left You This Way
04:28

17, just a daydream
a moments gone, fair fallen storms
One day hello, the next goodbye
How do I survive the tide
You know I want to help you
Solve the problems, pay your debts
but its not that simple, you say to me,
You don't want these shoes.
And you tell me:
"Please stop, trust, understand
I may just be a girl not quite a woman
but I feel I can't cope; I fear there's no hope,
I wrote these words down to give you warning tomorrow it all might change
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I left you this way."
Today I ponder what's next, how to feel this emptiness
cause I see faces that remind me of you.
And they tell me the darkness, oh it ain't through,
I walk halls where you used to walk,
think back on how you knew
And you tell me:
"Please stop, trust, understand
I may just be a boy not quite a man
but I feel I can't cope; I fear there's no hope,
I wrote these words down to give you warning tomorrow it all might change
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I left you this way."
17, just a daydream, I left you this way.

Awake
04:34
|

Rip the pages, burn them all to ash
Forget the words that you once wrote in the past
You are better than your worst day, you've got more to give
Why act like its over, learn to forgive
Just start over, break free
Look for possibilities
Think of all your mistakes, then toss them in a lake
Why not try, realize that today, you're awake
My head was in shadows
Felt like concrete weights
All the stumbles and the pitfalls took it out of me
Sometimes the bottom's where we have to land, oh
To find out how it really feels to stand
Just start over, break free
Look for possibilities
Think of all your mistakes, then toss them in a lake
Why not try, realize that today, you're awake
Why not try, realize that today, you're awake

Today is the day we push cubes and roll the dice
It’s been written on the calendar, text everybody twice
Some of us have read the rulebooks, so we’re ready just the same
Oh, it’s a perfect day to play a game
Board games now are not the games your grandpa played back when
Monopoly’s a hundred and three, you can toss it in the bin
There’s games where there’s a traitor, and ones you play alone
You can even play against the game or play board games on your phone
Let’s go - Dive in
Find a theme that never ends
Share in - the fun
Go ahead, pick any one
With games you’ve never heard of, and one’s you’ve heard B-4
No matter what game you choose to play, go for the highest score, so…
Today is the day we push cubes and roll the dice
It’s been written on the calendar, text everybody twice
Some of us have read the rulebooks, so we’re ready just the same
Oh, it’s a perfect day to play a game
RAP/QUICK PART:
Everyone, choose a color, not purple, that’s me
Now take two cards, if you’re last, take three
Pass one to the left, and one to the right,
Then play just one, and take a token that’s white
If you played an odd number, then you take two shillings,
if you played an even number then your wheat’s refilling,
That’s everything to know, are we ready to play?
Yeah!
Today is the day we push cubes and roll the dice
It’s been written on the calendar, text everybody twice
…one more text couldn’t hurt….
Today is the day we push cubes and roll the dice
It’s been written on the calendar, text everybody - three times!
Some of us have read the rulebooks, so we’re ready just the same
- Cause I Heart Board Games, and
- You Heart Board Games, and
- We all heart board gaaaaames!
- It’s a perfect day!
Oh, it’s a perfect day to play a game
It’s a perfect day to play a perfect game for us to say that we enjoyed this awesome perfect day!

The Mean Song

Every time you win
Every time I lose
You always want to sit and talk it over
Every day we clash
Every day we fight
It’s never bout the things that really matter
Imagine that your words all have a point
Like daggers through my skin and through my joints
Every day we love
Every day we make up
Cause there’s a lot reason to make up
The things you say are all so lame
And every day, it’s all the same
You hate that I love you
I love you when you hate me
go on and berate me
The way that you will
I think it’s obvious
If we ever part
It’s clear that we will never find a partner
That puts up with me
Or puts up with you
That’s because we fight like kindergartners
I wish you’d try to giggle at my jokes
Or laugh until you perish from a stroke
When I’m away from you
All I wanna do
Is find a way to get back home to you
The things you say are all so lame
And every day, it’s all the same
You hate that I love you
I love you when you hate me
go on and berate me
The way that you will
I think it’s obvious
If we ever part
It’s clear that we will never find a partner
You know I wanna be here, cause I’ve got no place to go
We’re a messed up pair, but damn we put on a show
If you didn’t fight me, then you might not like me
I’m me and you’re you
Let’s do what we do
The things you say are all so lame
And every day, it’s all the same
You hate that I love you
I love you when you hate me
go on and berate me
The way that you will
I think it’s obvious
If we ever part
It’s clear that we will never find a partner

I Long For
04:36
|
|||
I was born in the dark
There was nothing to go home to
There’s a reason I survived
And that reason was always you
You took my broken pieces
And mended them with care
You’ve been always there
Cause you’re a part of me
And I’m a part of you
Let’s just both keep dancing the whole night through
Cause I don’t want to it end
Even though we just began
This is the life I lived for, I’m here for, I longed for
You were my guide through dark
When there was no road left to follow
Now we’re on the other side
I’ll spend my life thanking you
And I will help when you’ve fallen
I will always be around
I won’t let you down
Cause you’re a part of me
And I’m a part of you
Let’s just both keep dancing the whole night through
Cause I don’t want to it end
Even though we just began
This is the life I lived for, I’m here for, I longed for
I’m capable of falling again, but you’ll be there for me
You’ll be holding me as I’m holding you, There’s nothing else to see
We’ll dance until there’s nothing else, but you and me
Just you and me
Cause you’re a part of me
And I’m a part of you
Let’s just both keep dancing the whole night through
Cause I don’t want to it end
Even though we just began
This is the life I lived for, I’m here for, I longed for

Eye For An Eye
03:16

Boy, you been a bad boy
Now the days, are coming to an end
You untied all your ties, you broke all your bridges.
And the feeling you feel - man it just itches
That won’t go away - you got demons to face.
An eye for eye, for the life that you wasted
A lie for a lie, the word’s cut then it’s pasted
In a matter of time, Time’s all you have
Sad, I know it’s just sad
But your words, don’t make me think that
You’re so cool the heatwave, You’re just glad you’re alive
And in five months you find out, if you’re taking the dive
The liquor can’t numb you - when you’re thinking clear
An eye for eye, for the life that you wasted
A lie for a lie, the word’s cut then it’s pasted
In a matter of time, Time’s all you have
An eye for eye, for the life that you wasted
A lie for a lie, the word’s cut then it’s pasted
In a matter of time, Time’s all you have

When the lights go out In the place you provided
Where you made the lives you molded and guided
We know you taught us to be well and be good
You did the best you could
After a while you had to release them
Still from a distance you tried to teach them
It’s no fault of yours if they misunderstood
You did the best you could
The path seemed dark as you tried to light it
You were there every moment as they tried to fight it
It didn’t turn out how you hoped that it would
You did the best you could
The deed is done now they have to accept it
The walls aren’t yours, there’s no need to protect him
We know you taught us to be well and be good
You did the best you could

Christmas Isn't The Same
03:11
|

We traveled the highway
Into the night and we
Arrived on a cold Christmas Eve
Cause every Christmas
Was spent around your home
Your presence it helped me believe
Now that I am without you
I hang round my town
Days just go by I forget
Bout the winters with family
All round the table
I haven’t got back to them yet
Christmas isn’t the same without you
Though the days still go by, you’re the one I look to
Cause I try to remember those days in the December
The ornaments like relics and the choirs still singing like
Oooh
Oooh
Even when I was older
I’d peek round the corner
To see if I’d see you around
That one time I saw you
Planting the presents
I knew I was loved unbound
Now that I am without you
I don’t hang a stocking
There no Christmas lights on my home
But I try to remember
As we exit November
Be thankful I’m never alone
Christmas isn’t the same without you
Though the days still go by, you’re the one I look to
Cause I try to remember those days in the December
The ornaments like relics and the choirs still singing like ooh
