Leaving Home

So I wanna grow up to be a rockstar?, well I guess that's strictly true
But I don't wanna do the things, that you seem to think all rockstars do.
I wanna work the hardest I can, and tour endlessly around the world
I wanna pour blood, sweat and tears, into every note I play
No, I don't want money or fame, I just want enough to get by
And I just want to be respected, by the people I look up to
And maybe if all goes to plan, maybe one day when I'm there
maybe you'll see me on a stage somewhere and then maybe
just maybe, you'll be proud
And you know what I think really sucks? How you just can't do anything
Without having any money, and you just can't get any money
Without wasting valuable hours of your, valuable life
Working jobs you hate, so you can breathe for another day, and I say
What's the point? What's the reason?
Is there a reason, why we even bother to stay alive?
I feel like, if I keep working at it
Maybe one day I will get somewhere but I really need convincing
and you're not doing anything, to help me out
The last thing I want, is more education

Waste

My ambitions have all gone to shit
and I'm feeling like a hypocrite
Because nothing that I said I'd do has gone as planned
And all the people round me say
You can live your dreams another day
But days are turning into years with no remorse
And I'm scared of going nowhere fast
Of not living my dreams, of slipping through the seems
And I, I am terrified
Of not living my life, of not living my dreams
And there's nothing quite like the feeling
When all your dreams are stuck on the ceiling
and you're not tall enough to reach them
They're just out of reach, they're just out of reach
Now I'm standing here on my own
Trying to make this life my own
Now I'm standing here all alone
So here's to another year of doing nothing at all
Here's to another year of wasting away the months

Too Late

It's not like I never tried
I didn't mean to tell those lies
And now it's too late, too late
You've got another boyfriend
And I hate, I hate
myself to the core
And I know, I know
I should have said before
But I'm late, I'm late
And now it's myself I hate
You were the best I'd ever had
Now you're the best he's ever had
I should have said something before
I shouldn't have kept it to myself
But that's all I seem to ever do
I'm so incapable of holding on to the good things

Keep the lights on, just long enough for me to fall asleep
It's been one hell of a week and the next aint looking good either
I've got too much to think about, I've got too much to figure out
Without you fucking with my head, you're not even that good in bed
I've got so many things I wanna do, so many things that don't involve you
And I feel guilty for admitting it, and it makes me feel like shit
It's a choice I don't want to make, it's a promise I don't want to break
I'm just trying to figure out, the best way through this situation
Did it ever occur to you, that there are things I wanna do?
Just like there's things you wanna do too, and they are not the same things
Have you ever thought about, what it'll be like when I'm out?
On the road with my guitar, and I'll be so very far
I'm leaving home and I don't know if I'll come back
I'm leaving home and I'm sorry

Going Nowhere
04:20

I never wanted much at all, So why do I always feel so small
So unsatisfied with my life, No money, no kids or wife
I never wanted much at all, And yet I feel so god damn small
I can't tell you much about the past few years, I know that I shed a fair few tears
But they were all drowned out in cheap beers, so I don't think about that anymore
Life can be so disappointing, When you're not where you wanted to be
Feels like I'm going nowhere, Just hoping that I get somewhere
I think I'd like to travel the world, see all the sights there is too see
But at the same time I like being home, I like the comfort, I like the safety

Take My Hand
02:37

I know you had a bad day and there's not much I can say
To make you feel any better
I know life can tough, and the tides they can be rough
But please promise me you'll stay strong
So take my hand, I'll help you through this one, take my hand
So take my hand, and don't you ever dare let go, take my hand
We'll turn this all around, we'll put your feet back on the ground
And we'll make sure you feel much better
There's no point in feeling down, you're not as pretty when you frown
I just wanna see your smile

Time to Waste

There's someone down below blowing you a kiss.
They watch from their windows as all arms fall to their sides,
and all eyes fix on the death of tomorrow.
And you found everything you need to make a life complete,
completely revolting and they have safety and relief
For sale down the street, I see you in line every day
You had time to waste and I'm not sorry, such a basket case, hide the cutlery.
I had time to kill, it's dead and buried. You've got guts to spill but no one trustworthy.
These creatures are waking up in these dark trees, Awaiting like vultures.
Eyes roll back turn white in time to feed, They salivate in hunger.
for you, and everything they need, to make a death complete, completely unnatural
and salvation lies, behind those dead eyes that watch you while you sleep every night
