It Will Be Fine

B, F, E
It will be fine
I’m not wasting my time
This chaos, it's my blossom
I’m ending my tunnel vision
It's all going to work out
I'm going to be my dream
Display this heart to the world
And give a diamond to my girl
God oh God
Where have you gone?
Why is this evil a part of us?
And how do I comfort myself
It will be fine
I’m not wasting my time
Chaos is this blossom
I’m ending my tunnel vision

Being Alive
03:05
|
|||
|
E, B, A
I miss being alive
Having the time of my life
Where I forgot time
Stuck to my rhythms
Not giving a damn about what no man says
Cause I know, It makes no, Difference
I remember the night
So drunk, turned me blind
Lost a bet, did something I regret
You know don't count if you forget
That everything is in the past
Longing for a life I imagine
A sorry excuse to make expectation pass
But its oh so impossible
To compete with what is a sure defeat
I just want to put my feet up
Watch it all fly by
Like the time that I was blind
By that fact
That is all just an act/ its all in the past
What are you doing can you define it for me
Cause I'm just here slowly taking in the loving
Again and again theres no end
I feel so alive
So high I forget time
How were all just passin through
You and I have more to do
While we're still here
I miss being alive
Having the time of my life
Where I forgot time
Stuck to my rhythms
Not giving a damn about what no man says
Cause I know, It makes no, Difference

Lost in Yourself
02:35
|
|||
|
D, A, G
Get lost in yourself
Close your eyes and go
To a place where time is misplaced
And today will be eternal
All of your worries
Are just forgetting the simple things
So make a movie of your life
Even if you're a nobody in all of our eyes
And surprise may just knock at your door
Find your natural growth
To the open road that is your soul
Break free from all these things you see on T.V
It'll only tell you what you're not supposed to be
But I guess anything helps
Get lost in yourself
Close your eyes and goooo
To someplace where time is misplaced and
Today will be eternal
Oh interest will always persist
Over perceptions manipulation
These Jeffersons are coming true
Soon enough you and I will be in a hyperloop
And if all these hurricanes and disasters
Don't catch us for saying that they don't matter
I'll just leave my body behind
Get lost in yourself
Close your eyes and go
To a place where time is misplaced
And today will be eternal

Life as it comes
02:34
|
|||
|
G, C, Em, D
Take life as it comes
There’s no need to run
There no changing
Deaths awaiting
So die with honor
Die as a lover
Make is all matter
Go and get after
The unknown only you will know
Intimacy the best-kept secret
Leaving just perception
So you question your ending
Is there a way
To make it all stay?
Forever
Cause boy do I love her
How id rather die
Then to know the sadness of life
Imaging the future
That what’s killing me
Staying cause I’m a coward
And somewhat of a doubter
All my life
Just a bunch of goodbyes
So why even try
As we get old
How do we reborn our soul?
Maybe all we need to know is to
Take life as it comes
No reed to run
There is no changing
This death awaiting
So die with honor
Die as a lover
Make it all matter
Go and get after
Your future is running from you
The faster you are the sooner your doom
So hold on
What is wrong
With taking life as it comes
Take life as it comes
No reed to run
There is no changing
This death awaiting
So die with honor
Die as a lover
Make it all matter
Go and get after

Happy Suicide
03:04
|
|||
|
I’m having the time of my life
It’s so good
I could die happy
So why not?
Lose our minds
And drift into a
Happy suicide
For we already feel
Between life and death
So why not?
Go and take that step
Off this cliff
Go kiss this life goodbye
And drift into a
Happy suicide
I’m not sure why I’m here
Or If I should be any longer
Cause all anyone is after
Is a moment of laughter
That leaves before it comes
Maybe we should bow out
Before I find out what it's like to die
I’m having the chill of thrills
That are slowly fading to black
They're gone just like that
To find out what left
Other than these fading memories and these songs that I sing
Maybe it’s just me
But it so often seems
You and I are here just playin'
Make believe
These dreams can’t come true
Cause boy if they do
I’ll have to die
Just to feel alive

What's Left to Do
02:31
|
|||
|
Your as busy as a bee
Thinking you are so very free
But in this reality
Its all for nothing
Living for tomorrow
When you should be here and now
So come on and follow
I'll show you what's left to do
I need a hiatus
From all my expectations
Just until I'm wholesome
TIll it's no longer fun
Just let me be still
For a little while
It's a little hard to grasp
Watching my life pass
I'll show you what's left to do
I'll show you what's left to do
If you ask me if all just a story
You gotta buck up now or you'll be sorry
Be the hero you read all about
Or you'll fade into the background
How do you stand out
When we all need to shout
Shout out loud to hear ourselves sing
I'll show you what's left to do
I'll show you what's left to do
I'll show you what's left to do

Live How Your Born
02:35

C#7, G#7
Take its slow
Were all growing old
Watching beauty fade from our face
Someday somewhere in some far off place
Well be well be well be well be
Well be well be well be well be
Well be well be well be well
happy
Here I am passing away one moment to the next
Life is short you gotta live how you're born
For be warned that if you are short
Or fit into some kind of sort
Your only resort is to live how you're born
Well be well be well be well be
Well be well be well be well be
Well be well be well be well
happy
Settle down
There is no way out
We all end up in the ground
Try and forget
Time we label as spend
Life is short you got to live how you're born
Take it slow there is nowhere to go
Other than this moment alone
Shared with another
Impossible to recover
Life is short you got to live how you're born
Well be well be well be well be
Well be well be well be well be
Well be well be well be well
happy

Tommorrow
01:52

G, Am
Tomorrow ill see the biddy eyes of my pineapple girl
Pack your prettiest dress
I'm starting to feel a little bit festive
Tomorrow well feel imperfections that leave cement impressions
You'll be a stranger
that's a conversation starter
don't ask me how I got to know her
tomorrow will always come
but one day
tomorrow you'll grow up
running till the dawn to dusk
I feel nervous that's how I know I'm in love
Tomorrow, for now, your my friend
But I've seen you before
ill get in the back
I understand you need the good for the bad
at least that's how it is on this planet
For now ill sit and think
Reflect on all these beautiful things
Say thank you to whoever gave
Tomorrow you seem to around lately

A#, F
Darling why don't you stay now
I can't imagine living without
You bring and take away all my pain
Oh, Darling why don't you stay?
Darling I can hear the sky calling
Enlightened feeling has me falling
Into this neverending sadness
Oh darling How I will miss
You and your soul
You and your heart of gold
And how you helped me find
The secret inside
Darling let's make today tomorrow
Build a world for our own
Someplace we can go
And forget that the world is so very cold

I cant believe my eyes
03:53
|
|||
|
I...I can’t believe my eyes
Everything I was once so certain of
Is coming undone
I chalk it up to being too young
Oh, look…
At all these things I've done
I want to say
That I am more sure today
But honestly, I feel the same
As yesterday
Im crying im alright
But inside
Never, ever, ever, have I ever been
More frightful
Oh all that you sense is a drag but still
I manage to see a little beauty in you
Oh please
Please pull me through
Cause nothing now is sanding out
Can I define what this life is
Take me away I dont care who what of where
Cause it seems as if we are all missing
What it takes to be happy
Last time I checked the world is mostly blue for you and me
I cant belive my mind
I dont think Ill ever know what to do
So sick and tired of looking like
I have nothing to hide
Maybe, Maybe, maybe, maybe baby, you can save me
From leaving before its my time
Cause man does it sure seem nice
Closing my eyes and just dreaming forever
When all the world looks so absurd
You need to make something or your ingorned
Why do we all always seek more
I.. I cant believe
Im able to love, think, and sing
Put down all these feelings
To whoever is listening
It feels like im kissing my life goodbye
How I hope you are having the
Time of your life

People
03:17

|
People are bringing back the past
And I'll be damned
If I'm gonna let it pass
You know I want to talk to you
But I'm so caught up
With what I got to do
Our love
It will never change
But being away has been such a shame
I'm happy to hear, that you're doing well
Tell me, what there is to tell
Can we remember the first day that I met you
And be blind for now
Go out and learn to love
Everything all around
Can we remember the first time
People couldn't live without em
Cause no animal can understand these feelings
These opinions on just about everything
Can we please just be blind for now
Look into each other eyes
Know that we will meet again
In the sky and be blind forever
Go out and learn to love
Everything all around
Can we remember the first time

Shadow of Darkness
01:49
|

|
D, A, G, A
I'm starting to see
The shadow of darkness
Slowly overtake the light
I'm starting to feel
Like im living in hell
These waves are slowly overtaking
Every thought, Every day
A tad bit more deadly
Than the last
You can go back
Please I beg you
Do it again cause regret kills me
Even if i know it to be a fantasy
Cause this limitation has me wishing
To create a truth just to see myself
In another light
And though it aint right
You and I just seem to be
Fighting this life

C, G,C
C, G, F, C,G,C
Happening to me
Its happening to you
Its happening to everyone
You might as well have some fun
There is no winning
You might as well take the high road
Live with a little hope
And you just never know
Happening to me
Its happening to you
Its happening to everyone
You might as well have some fun
Follow your heart
Be happy for a start
When it all ends
Youll want it back again
Happening to me
Its happening to you
Its happening to everyone
You might as well have some fun

A, G, C, D
Everyday is looking the same
Not sure who to blame
Myself or god
How come all that feels wrong
Is what I want
Can someone tell me how to come up with
A way to live without being a slave
To the way the world shaped
Cause I just want to find a way
To make every day no longer look the same
Every day so mundane
Cant let myself look the other way
Or ill be left
With scars that blemish
My skin and my whole aura
Como yo no lo se
haciendo nada interessante
Cada dia necisisto comprezar otra vez
Porque cuando quiero mas
Mi mentte decir voya atras
Tu eres como todo otra personas
Pero que sinifica esto
Estar viviendo
Si cada dia es mismo
