Fighting Gravity- by: Brandtson

I talk to you all the time
the world thinks i'm crazy as crazy is
and i don't feel much different
fluorescent lights hum their incessant anthem
everything i believe and everything that holds me together at the seams
seems so far away from here
and we're all wondering where're we going?

and i wish my colors weren't so faded
i wish i didn't feel so cold
everyone's so slow and jaded
falling asleep to this midwestern drone

i feel like running everyday
away from this life that i've made
built to last a little too long
feeling trapped under my own weight
too heavy now to stand let alone fly
and i'm always watching the sky with jealous eyes

wish i'd finally fall apart
do something desperate to change things
changed my mind again just when i was getting brave
changed my mind again just when i was getting brave

somewhere over this city
high above the red brick chimneys
i know we can escape all this
it feels like fighting gravity
and where're we going?

and i wish my colors weren't so faded
i wish that i didn't feel so cold
and everyone's so slow and jaded
falling asleep to this midwestern drone

The Escape- by: unknown forgotten

Is it really 'anyway'?
It's nothing it's fine it's okay
I can not be affected by such trivial things
Is it really that nonchalant?
I'll keep telling myself that so it won't hurt
But should it even hurt at all?
Alright I'm good everything is fine
Couldn't be better
Now how often do we tell that lie
Anyway
To toss it off as nothing else
It's nothing it doesn't hurt I'll be alright
But we forget its meaning and intent
I'm tired I'm sick I didn't eat
I was up late I drank too much I have to get up early I need to sleep
Until next time goodbye see you later peace
I'll be sitting in my room listening to the stereo and tapping to the beats
Long after you've gone home and gone to sleep
But anyway
It's okay its fine doesn't matter to me
Whatever you want to do it's cool we'll see
See you later good to see you for a moment nice talking to you
Anyway
I've got to get going I've got someplace else to be
I've got to escape courteously
Anyway- by: unknown forgotten

I have something to ask you
There's something I want you to know
That I wanted to tell you
Let's take a seat over here
No, it's nothing bad, not at all
I've had only one thing on my mind lately
Ever since I had a dream in the past weeks
How's your coffee? Hot? Yeah, mine too
Anyway, I don't know what you're going to say
Or how you might respond
Just take it to heart
It's just that I've been thinking...
There's always tomorrow
And the day after
And next week
Months
Years
That's a long time.
Weary- by: unknown forgotten

Sometimes I get tired of living
And that's why I self destruct
Sometimes I get tired of destruction
And that's why I am often reluctant
Sometimes I get tired of it all
And that's why I need you

Renegade- by: unknown forgotten

They'll all regret the day I ride back into town
With a baseball bat, and a switchblade knife
I can't remember their names but I know their faces
I'll hunt them down like dogs and teach them all a lesson
I've got unfinished business in that city in the country
One day out of the wide fucking blue I'll roll up on two wheels
And break the knees of anyone who stands in my way
I own that town more than the worthless who live there
I'll show them what is right and what is wrong with a fist and a broken jaw
Neither friend nor foe will stay free of my wrath
That city owes me more than I could ever be paid in full
No mercy, no forgiveness at all
Just a brutal beating and a smirk comment on my part to top it off
My hog will be my iron horse
My cunning will be my advance
The day they forget my face will be the day I return and take their life


I; Some - by: unknown forgotten

I feel light as a feather
Some things couldn't be worse
Some couldn't be going any better

I took the world off my shoulders
Some time ago
Some burdens needn't be bothered

I wrestled my world in my dreams
Some things were defeated, deleted
Some things were made clearer than ever before
