The biggest & brightest of shows
The lengths to which people go
To go proving it all to the world
Big shows were never for me
I never say what I mean
& I’ve always been that way
Since I was still me
"On My Way" too
I never yelled out from the roof
or called out for ears in the room
& I hoped that neither would you
but just let me end this game
& just let me say it this way
I’m more sure of us everyday
& now it’s time
To say it all aloud
Saying out loud
The things that I had thought for years
I wouldn't want a change
I wouldn't change
I want a little house & rings
Lived in denial of me
trained years so I wouldn’t see
The cold shell that I came to be
But armor it lasts so long
Finally starting to thaw
So I'm writing one honest song
& now it’s time
To live is to fail and react
To learn to change & adapt
from mistakes that we can amass
Well I should be good by now
Should but i'm not somehow
I promise I’ll figure it out
& now it’s time

Tin God

Well we all want to know now
matched up with greats
just where our names can be found
Is it pride or self doubt
that leads the way
to lifelong crusades to find out?
I can never rest ’til i know the score
No matter cost
I will wager what I must to know
Where do I stand
on the list of greatest known to man?
I’ll bet my pride & my life to know
The goal was clear from day one
Perfect the game
sharing first place with no one
All angles force mapped out
Sleep in the hall
No time at all for love now
A legend or a tin god
I risked my life
for just one try to dethrone
Well in the end, I did win
best of all time
not worth my time, you keep it, you can keep it

Allow Me

Repaint our lives til they look just right
We purge the weak hunt the prize
We hide out fears behind those pearly whites
Rehearse a speech filled with lies
Lies & smiles are all we are
I think that I can’t keep up. Allow me
To let loose
to scream it all
It feels so good to
Yell out all the truth
& the hate that we hold
all the hate we hold
Oh the sweet relief of defeat
Make sure they know that you’re the first to show
that you love their drinks & kids & clothes
So your numbers grow but they’re sure to slow
Out in the cold is where you'll go
Lies & smiles are all we are
I think that I can’t keep up. Allow me
To let loose
to scream it all
It feels so good to
Yell out all the truth
& the hate that we hold
all the hate we hold
Oh the sweet relief of defeat
Bring light to friendship rewrites
Let it be known
We were close &
then sold to those who do hold
the power to pull me up

Good People Bad

Nobody here can keep hold of all their fears
They all fight when the bombs are still in flight
The radio sent us all a noose
We pass it around ’til it’s right
The power of numbers can drive good people bad
Left no choice but to fight
Put in the time & all the work
Just trying to keep us alive
but power of numbers can drive good people bad
They’ll all kill to survive
Years upon years go about
without ever having to just shout
“Oh, who are these people & what are they really inside?”
Never ever again will make
that mistake so I’ll say, goodbye

Sometimes I estimate
the strangers' blood in my veins
Behavior & your race
Your age, size, sex & faith
Who are you?
& therefore, who am I?
No need to speak
It seems we're of the same type
I like to speculate she lived up to her name
Records ain't the same
I'd like to feel those names in my veins
How did she feel?
What was all that like?
I'd really like to see but it seems we had our time
Retake the wheel in a familiar case & learn to steer it right
Staying the course on a creaky vessel
Cast diversions aside
We exaggerate the loves we lost on the way
Missing less each day, the pain, smell, touch & taste
The times that we had seems like they were fine
The saying isn't true
Absences & hearts go fine
