Big Bad Wolf 02:40
BIG BAD WOLF CHORUS Cautiously I am here Treading fast beneath the waters Do I fear? What lies under me Under me VERSE They say there's a bad one in all of us But who am I I say kill the weak, save the strong, the rich, the loved ones You know, I know this isn't how it goes Woah, woah This isn't how it goes CHORUS Cautiously I am here Treading fast beneath the waters Do I fear? What lies under me Under me VERSE It's the calm before the storm It's the only thing I know I did my best but fucked it up BRIDGE And, I know that, the way that this goes, I know So you think you know
2.
FORGET YOU VERSE We're living in homes and on the streets we know We're selling drugs just to pay our bills And oh we know We're in this all alone, alone, alone And all alone you're kicking me down I wanna know, who's got my back now? We know we're in this all alone, alone, alone CHORUS Forget you ‘Cause all you do is bring me down The look in your eyes the feels that I find there's no way, no way VERSE Barely alive Just breathe in and breathe out Look at me now, I'm trying and fighting We know, We're in this all alone alone alone With all you've done we're left with no hope There's nothing now for me to fight for BRIDGE It’s in the person I once knew It’s on the walls of this house It’s taking its toll on me I let you push thru the windows I let you under my skin and into my mind again And maybe we should start again And maybe we’re too far from it You let me down and part of it was a cut so deep it grew For the first time I'm hollowed out I'll drown all of your love in the ocean I’ll drown all your thoughts in blue Cause I'm broken just like you
3.
IN THE SILENCE VERSE I will remember the things you said, “I'll always be more than the average man” Oh God I wish, I wish you'd see That this reality is something I believe CHORUS Remember me, Cause I'll never be the same I told you so Remember me, When you sang and said, “La Di Da La La La La” VERSE You came and left me dead in the street We always knew that we would care like you And all I know, and all I know That this reality is something I believe Something, something BRIDGE In the silence we breathe real slow In the silence we take this broken home In the silence we breathe real slow
4.
CAPTURED IN TIME VERSE Nowhere to go to let the monster free We'll stay inside We whisper soft to let our feelings speak We run away to let the pain escape there’s no turning back We whisper soft to let our feelings speak CHORUS Why can't you just feel the way It's all I want There's something inside of you VERSE You took my heart to help me think Cause I was lost at sea And now I know that I was meant to be alive in misery And I cried, as I prayed, all alone as I wait BRIDGE They say don't worry I'm pleading sorry For the things I did I captured it in time For me to say alright, I'm falling back in rhymes I was falling out of line I swallowed all my pride It was taking up my life I captured it in time For me to say alright, I'm falling back in rhymes
5.
Perfect Permission Chorus And all I know, I'm walking out the door, not scared of what's in store I was born for this, born for this, All I know, is I was born for this This perfect permission is all that I'm missing Verse And oh my God I've been wasting my soul For what? I'm not the glorious one Such wasted youth, a pathetic excuse For what? I'm only living to learn Chorus And all I know, I'm walking out the door, not scared of what's in store I was born for this, born for this, All I know, is I was born for this This perfect permission is all that I'm missing Verse 2 And oh my God this infectious want For more of what I can not afford The cerebral cause, the escape of it all Giving into all that you are Bridge Imagine this, All I've ever wanted is to be free Free from the worry and the guilt of getting caught up in my own twisted web of selfish thoughts and careless actions Imagine this, Free to take what I want and get what I need without being saturated with greed To feed from the trees that lead a life of luxury knowing that I deserve absolutely everything A life without questioning Never having to ask someone if this is okay, It's okay if I say it's okay

Strains 03:10
Strains VERSE I'm dreaming in blue for you, Eyes glued to this trainwreck Living paycheck to paycheck I'm stuck in a haze, silver and greys, cookies and cream, the American dream it seems But when I'm up this high, why do I feel so low? Cause I know, you know feelings go away CHORUS We stress the same things In every possible way We won't find another solution That speaks with emotion, that sings with conviction We stress the same things in every possible way We do the same things but you swear that we're different but you're not so different from me VERSE With a critical mass complexion born through natural selection, came addiction, oppression, Riding waves of depression, Abusive the truth is as I was fighting thru the pain, cbd in my veins with these, Strains on my brain Crown me like BB King, Treat me like royalty, Bring out the best in me, ‘Cause if this is God’s gift, it better be worth it BRIDGE Woah, you’re not so different from me!
