Lyrics
Car scraped a speed bump at 3 in the morning
With fog rolling in I guess that's a warning that
I'm about to explode
I'm about to explodeThere's a black bag in the back seat that's weighing on my mind
With velcro and red wire sticking
out of the side ‘cause
I'm about to explode
I'm about to explodeWhat's the point of working hard if you can't get nowhere
What's the point of getting better if nobody cares
And it wouldn't make a difference if I disappear
So, I'm about to explode
I'm about to explodeSun’s coming up but I'm running from the light
I don't want to make sense of what's running through my mind so
I'm about to explode
I'm about to explodeMy whole life I've always needed permission
To feel something bad, oh give her a prescription
So, I'm about to explode
I'm about to explodeCHORUS
CHORUS
One button, one second, here it is make a decision
Hit my lungs, hold my breath, end this or keep living
I'm about to explode
I'm about to explode -

Lyrics
Every suit looks like a snake
Got me jumping right out of my skin
And I can't hesitate or I start wondering
Do you really love me, do you even care
You say that you do but you gotta blank stareIf the bottom’s gonna fall just let me know
If you're having second thoughts just let me go
We don't have to drag out the situation
All you got to say is what you've got to say
So please don't make me wait just give it to me straight
Please don’t make me wait just give it to me straightSo here's the bottom line I'm gonna have to give it all away
Everything I ever worked for fits nicely on a page
And it's textbook, the bait and hook
Well you made your move but I don't know what to doCHORUS

Lyrics
In the corners of my mind in the shadows of my thoughts
There's always been a darkness like I've already lost
And I can't trust tomorrow, and I can't live through today
Yeah it's hard to keep it together when I'm easy to breakI guess the world keeps on spinning after I disappear
I guess that they'll keep on breathing like there's nothing to fear
And a bird with no wings, sings a sad, sad song
And a broken soul, no it just don't belong
No I just don't belong, no I just don't belongWhen the echoes of doubt whisper in my ear
And I'm searching for anything that's near
Redemption sits on the edge of my tongue
But everything I say is never good enoughCHORUS

Lyrics
I don't really wanna feel like this
But everything you say is uh
Pushing all my buttons and
I can't let you goI can't let you go
When I'm walking down the street I see
All the billboards and the magazines
And every word I read is choking me
'Cause I can't let you goCHORUS
Hand me some water I'm about to spit the truth
Hidden underneath your papers, oh you're knowing what you do
Sink deeper or cut me loose
I just don't wanna say no ‘cause I can't let you goI'm rotting from the inside out
Turn the volume down but you still shout
Lost my mind and all I know is I can't let you goCHORUS
Hand me some water I'm about to spit the truth
Hidden underneath your papers, oh you're knowing what you do
Sink deeper or cut me loose
I just don't wanna say no ‘cause I can't let you goCHORUS
I can’t let you go
(I can’t let you go)
I can’t let you go -

Lyrics
I wanna feel that red dirt from my head down to my toes
Roundin’ third base with the coach waving me home
Running for my life like I'm Indiana Jones
Oh I wanna be seven years oldGo back to passing notes from the pocket of my blue jeans
When rock paper scissors could solve anything
And hold my Daddy's hand like I'll never be alone
Oh I wanna be seven years oldWhen the scariest thing was letting go of the handlebars
And falling asleep was never that hard
Weeping for the smallest things 'cause that's what matters most
Oh I wanna be seven years oldPretend I'm Picasso with watercolor paints
Believe I can fly with a towel for a cape
And wear my Mama's heels ‘cause it's fun to be grown
Oh I wanna be seven years oldCHORUS
Bow my head at night and know someone's listening
Look up at the stars and wonder why they're
shining
Close my little eyes and let my dreams unfold
Oh I wanna be seven years oldCHORUS
Oh I wanna be seven years old

Lyrics
She got that Monroe smile classic in every decade
She got a dirty secret that everybody knows anyway
She throws down a line and scramble just to pick it up
She just strolls away sipping on a solo cupAnd they don’t know what she's thinking no
They don't know what she's thinkingEverybody in the room they say I wanna be just like her
Everybody on the floor dancing and they wanna be just like her
She don't know why they wanna be just like her
She just knows that they wanna be just like her
Ooh just like herShe walks in a room you can hear a pin drop
She got that confidence that'll make a heartbeat stop
She ain't got no reason don’t need to know why
Just knows what she wants then blinks her eyesPRE CHORUS
CHORUS
Glitter’s falling down and she tries to scream
But she can’t make a soundCHORUS

Lyrics
When's the sky gonna open up when am I gonna find my love
'Cause I'm just getting tired of getting dragged through the mud
When am I gonna find myself when am I gonna be top shelf
'Cause everywhere I turn there's just no inspirationI'm floating in the atmosphere there's a world up here
and I don’t wanna come downDon't ask me how I'm doing I’ll start crying
Don't ask me how I'm feeling 'cause I'm in pieces
Somehow I got lost
Oh, somehow I forgot how to think happy thoughtsSo I'm just gonna play pretend smile and nod like I'm listening
Go through the motions hiding all of my emotions
Gonna throw some lipstick on show the world that nothing’s wrong
Tap my toes and sing along 'cause everybody loves a happy songPRE CHORUS
CHORUS
I’m not sure how it happens, but I hope that it passes
I'm not sure how it happened but I hope, but I hope that it passesCHORUS

Lyrics
Everybody’s staring at me with one eye
Eat me up like American french fry
Oh they like it oh they love it oh they adore
But if I fail they like it like it even more
Cherry pop kick dirty grin lipstick
Duct taped to a quick fix chorus
Tidal wave stage hungry stomach jet lag
And when the lights dim don't want it too badDon't want it too bad
Don’t want it too bad
Don’t want it too badEverybody running ‘round like it's a circus
Got that twitter quiver (ooh) kinda nervous
Everybody come down we've got that magic
'Cause I'm a dark princess and a savage(Oh) You need more guns
(Oh) You need more lead
He put a spell on you like Winifred (so)
In 2020 we might rehash but, until then just don't want it too badCHORUS
Ooooh it's coming like a whisper in the wind
Ooooh it's coming like a whisper in the windCHORUS

Lyrics
I don't know if there's any more words left to say
Anymore thoughts that need a page to call a home
But I know I've had a good run
And I've written a few rhymes that make me think I might've done something rightAnd when that empty page stares back at me
And I've given all I can bleed
I dig down deep to find a melody
And one more songI don't know if they wanna hear the truth anymore
Or just some catchy tune with four chords
Oh but I believe there are lost souls like me
Who can see the light and know there's something more than freePRE CHORUS
And the road gets weary and the highway is rough
But when you have nothi
ng you find what you're made of
I got this pawn shop guitar and six steel strings
And one more song left to singCHORUS
Yeah one more song let to sing

Lyrics
There's a mama in the corner
She starts to wonder if she's made too many mistakes
There's a preacher in a ragtop
Trying to spread the gospel from New York to LAAnd it don't matter what boat you're in 'cause we're all on a sinking ship
You see, life's gonna end it just depends on which path you're gonna takeThere's a rockstar in the bar
He's gone too far with the Wild Turkey on his lips
There's a waitress in the diner
Covering up a shiner and today she just might call it quitsTwo separate worlds in the same city
Makes you think that we’re not different
You see, life's gonna end it just depends on which path you're gonna takeCHORUS
I look to my left
See the one I married with a tattoo on their wrist
We keep on trucking'cause we don't know nothin’
But these little songs in our headsSee life's too short to miss the point so we're gonna make the most of it
You see life's gonna end it just depends on which path you're gonna takeCHORUS
Life's gonna end, it just depends on which path you're gonna take
