In a world so black and white You can choose to be the grey Don't be afraid to make your mark Never let anyone stand in your way Well it's nothing new but it's surely not ok To follow in the footsteps of those who blamed you for their mistakes When the sun finally falls And you're lost in the darkness of it all Trust your heart and follow your North Star With the bottom of your bottle do you think about tomorrow And how you promised yourself it would be ok when the sunlight hits your face Fuck what the world thinks at the end of the day You're the one that has to live with the decisions that you made (Nick) I'm always hoping for the best to those who constantly wish me the worst I'll give my doubts a purpose One that you will never forget Get outta my head Don't try and stop me Things aren't the way they used to be I'm not the same kid you took under your wing The path I decided on is far from paved But I devoted myself to find a place I can truly be happy There's nothing too hard for me not much more I can go through In the little time that I've lived I should've died a million times Numb to the pain But I'll stand my ground (Chorus) If they chased their dreams as much as they did their whiskey It would be more clear how it's overwhelming to see where I'm standing So go ahead and tell me what you think you've heard about me But my words are pure as I preach them loudly

Ninety-Three 04:01
I fucking hate you Remember the day that you heard you were my dad I bet you froze up Throwing beers back Then got up and left The fact that you ran out on me Has made me feel like I've been trying to be exactly what you were supposed to be teaching me When I would ask The family that you left Grows stronger with every breath And the day you'll need us most it'll be too fucking late My mom was my dad And the strength that I have Will be more than you'll ever understand How can I have so much hate for someone I don't know You don't deserve my attention And now I'm stuck with the thought of what if And it's leaving me with all these mixed emotions I grew up twenty one years later Never knowing the word dad I don't know whether to feel mad I don't know whether to be depressed I thought you'd be there in the end I thought you would have come to your senses there’ll be nothing that you could teach me so don’t bother even trying I’m acknowledging your existence in my lyrics for the moment so i can get the point through your head on how all of this could’ve been different but i’ll leave you buried deep like you did with me in ’93 I'll acknowledge your existence For this moment I'll leave you buried deep In ninety three

Worthless 04:30
I'm trapped behind these walls They're closing in I'm suffocating, hyperventilating Like it's not air that I've been breathing How does it feel to be so hopeless It's worthless Nothing's gonna change It's not cold enough to numb the pain So I'll stick to jack and jäger bombs Looking for the answers to all my problems I wish that I could change all the things that I hate I wish that it would change and stay that way I hate everything I see in the mirror because that's not who I want to be anymore FUCK I'm lost, alone But not afraid because I know I don't need you any more I'm strong enough on my own It's over, I'm sober Can't do this any longer It's all the same to me All of this means nothing Although my heart is beating It doesn't mean I'm living  Desperately I’m wandering Trying to find my so called calling Because I’m still not content With everything I am Based on what I know There’s still nothing to show After 22 years of doing the things I love And trying to call myself a man

Reacher 05:35
I used to tell myself that I need to escape this place but running away only makes it easier to let everything stay the same to work everyday bringing food to this table while making sure the lights turn on when the switch is flipped I’m still doing the best I can with everything that I have so thankful and grateful others would even call me blessed ambition, i’m driven never looking back on this path My heart is always striving for a time and place to open up again until then i’ll hide behind these walls I’ve built for myself there’s no body left to blame it doesn’t seem worth the effort when second guesses become second nature one step forward brings me two steps back but to be fair i’m in this forever content at where i am but it doesn’t all stop here this story is still being with another chapter to unfold i’ve adapted along the way gaining knowledge beyond every measure you can never put a price on respect never take away the experiences that i’ve felt i grew tired wishing for more for everything to fall in place so now i have much more to show other than my age so I’ve made up my mind to look past these disguises i refuse to rely on fate to see what happens walking through the night kicking rocks down the block I’ll follow these streetlights to see where they take me maybe tomorrow I’ll figure out all off this maybe tomorrow i don’t know what happens after all this step by step my feet grow weary but I’ve made up my mind as children we liked to dream this world was an ocean of possibilities I’m still searching, still growing My spirits broken but in the light of everything I’m moving forward Do what you love love what you do its simple enough so simple enough don’t make it harder than it has to

Bitter 04:48
I saw this coming And I did nothing But let it all get to my head You loved me and I loved you This story's been told before You made me hate you And now I'm growing old alone I've given up on this night A normal life will never be in my sights I've sacrificed everything I had to get where I am I'm still not satisfied I've come to far to give up now This body hasn't broken down Feet don't fail me now And now I'm walking home alone Without expecting you to call Don't be surprised if you catch the sight of me staggering on the side of the road These frozen tears of too many beers are draining down my nose And it's so god damn cold (Verse) trying to move ahead without leaving behind the things that made me who i am won’t immolate what I’ve gained Even if you’re apart of it I'll build a fire with this lighter and pour gas on my chest So I can feel warm again Can I feel warm again (Like the time I actually meant something) (Chorus) Don't turn your back on me I've found my right to exist Your knife needs no more companions My back is not your wrists I don't wanna spend my life trying to prove anyone wrong I just wanna prove what I'm doing has been right for me all along (Chorus)
