With These Two Hands

As it turns out we all grow up.
Been distracted by getting beat down.
I’m putting roots down in this ground.
I remember the kids at shows.
Now some of us have kids of our own.
Some friends are no longer around.
When I look at where I am today.
To where I want to be.
With these 2 hands.
I take Accountability!
I used to want to be different
I think we all want-ed to be seen.
Now- I just want - to be like me.
To Be someone my girls count on.
Care for responsibilities.
To provide so we can achieve.
When I look at where I am today.
To where I want to be.
With these 2 hands.
I take Accountability!
To Be someone my girls count on.
When I look at where I am today.
To where I want to be.
With these 2 hands.
I take Accountability!
When I look at where I am today.
To where I want to be.
With these 2 hands.
I take Accountability!

Dying to Be Bored

I cut myself,
on what I had to mend.
Still waking up,
Still dark. Drive to the end.
In all this life,
No chance of some shut eye.
Still giving up,
Daylight. Smiles back in spite.
Two steps forward, then one step back.
Waiting for life, cut me some slack.
I’m dying to be bored.
In all this life,
Held hands prevents our fall.
I guess we’ll come,
At Night. No fun at all.
She always says,
Remember before kids?
Now there’s no peace,
It’s dead. All things we did.
Two steps forward, then one step back.
Waiting for life, cut me some slack.
I’m dying to be bored.
Like nothing's in store.
Like my life, it drags
From riches to rags

I'll Let You Down

Want to get through this, then gonna walk away,
I’ll let you down, one more time today.
Making up my mind, made a thousand wrongs
I’ll let you down, oh before too long.
Don’t get your hopes up
I’m no longer around.
Don’t get your hopes up
I’m gonna let you down.
Time to move right on, been here a while.
I’ll let you down, killing your smile
Got a bad habit, tuning out the noise
I’ll let you down, all your plans destroyed.
Don’t get your hopes up
I’m no longer around.
Don’t get your hopes up
I’m gonna let you down.
Feelings start to fade, forgot the plans we made.
Bills left all unpaid, Left out cold and afraid.
Don’t get your hopes up
I’m no longer around.
Don’t get your hopes up
I’m gonna let you down.

Toothless

Sometimes it all,
seems so far away.
Friends getting married,
babies born every day.
I took a chance,
avoid disarray.
Plummeted headfirst
into lives of decay.
So far, so far from here, for now.
So far, so far from knowing how.
So far from here for now.
I have been told,
“Stay Gold” and not lose,
Who you wanna be,
A life that you can choose.
Pack up my bed,
To sleep somewhere new.
Buildings fell down and
Altered my point of view.
So far from here, for now.
So far from knowing how.
Many, many holes to fill
Plenty, plenty stories to tell.
So far from here for now.
I lost a tooth,
a hole in my head.
Fortune won’t fix,
I was left for dead.
When it all falls
we all get displaced
Wanted to leave,
Now feels so far away.
So far from here, for now.
So far from knowing how.
Many, many holes to fill
Plenty, plenty stories to tell.
So far from here for now.
