Verse 1
I'm awake in my bed
I can't make peace with my head
So I pray I find rest
To fill tomorrow's emptiness
Chorus
And when the sun comes up
I'll let it shine on my face
Take a deep breath in and I'll soak in the rays
I can't ever let go though the truth be told
My grip’s getting weak and I can't get to sleep
Just let go of what you know, I fall asleep
Verse 2
Close my eyes and hum lullabies
Like the soundtrack to my life, its a movie in my mind
Is this self reflection or a dream like inception
The clock just keeps turning and my thoughts are still burning, me alive
Chorus
And when the sun comes up
I'll let it shine on my face
Take a deep breath in and I'll soak in the rays
I can't ever let go though the truth be told
My grip’s getting weak and I can't get to sleep
Just let go of what you know, I fall asleep

It Doesn't Matter

Verse 1
Well you're lying next to me,
And you make it hard to breathe,
So much that I can't fall asleep,
And when my eyes are finally closed,
Back to dreamland I will go,
And when I find you there that's when I know,
Chorus
It doesn't matter,
When we talk about what hasn't happened,
Give it time and we'll be laughin,
Hard times come and go,
Happen fast but they leave slow,
And when you're still here when it's all done I know,
I know you're worth the fight,
Bridge
It doesn't matter who was right,
We can work it out I don't even care what its about,
Sometimes it hurts,
But love takes work,
And I know what you're worth

Glass House

I borrow a piece of paper ‘cause my notebook is full
All the pages got filled up while I was spilling out my soul
I’m better in real time when I let it move through me
I don’t know what to do, so I just keep that pen moving
Words turn into sound
As I’m writing them down
I re-read what I think
And I meet the real me
Create confidence
Witness originality
Accept the consequence
And that’s the reality
Chorus
I'll throw the stone
I'm not perfect I know
But I've got to get out
Of this God damn glass house
The panes are like mirrors
And my pain is so clear
Can't look at myself
So I cry out for help
Arms out, spinning around
Let it all crash down
The shards are like a snowflake
In a slow motion earthquake
As the glass cuts my skin
So I let it sink in
In this shiny debris
I am finally free
Of me
Verse 2
I can't do this alone
The only meaning is my own
Like a secret that I've kept
Of a brilliant concept
Just a thought that I had
But I'm scared that it's bad
What do you think I mean
Words describing a scene
And your picture is different
Than the one in my mind
Yours was there in an instant
Mine developed in time
And its not up to me
How the artwork will read
But I try to emote
With the words that I wrote
Does it make you feel
Like my thoughts are real
Does it mean anything
If the viewer's just me
Chorus
I'll throw the stone
I'm not perfect I know
But I've got to get out
Of this God damn glass house
The panes are like mirrors
And my pain is so clear
Can't look at myself
So I cry out for help
Arms out, spinning around
Let it all crash down
The shards are like a snowflake
In a slow motion earthquake
The glass cuts my skin
So I let it sink in
In this shiny debris
I am finally free
Of me

Verse 1
The best advice you'll ever take will always come from within,
cause nobody's ever swayed by a bad opinion,
and when the words sound right and you find yourself in question,
just keep on searching cause you're headed in the right direction,
Pre-Chorus
there's no such thing as a plan for life,
its gonna happen how it happens no matter what you decide,
so sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride
Chorus
and make the best of bad, don't miss out thinkin' 'bout what you wish you had,
let it all go and be free don't let yourself become your own worst enemy,
the grass is always greener on the other side,
so tear down that fence lay down and close your eyes,
and take it from me yeah take your own advice,
Verse 2
you live it when you're young, forget it when you're old,
cause somewhere in the middle you just start doing what you're told,
I'm not talking about fate, we all make our mistakes,
just live life to the fullest cause your future's what you make,
Pre-Chorus
there's no such thing as a plan for life,
its gonna happen how it happens no matter what you decide,
so sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride
Chorus
and make the best of bad, don't miss out thinkin' 'bout what you wish you had,
let it all go and be free don't let yourself become your own worst enemy,
the grass is always greener on the other side,
so tear down that fence lay down and close your eyes,
and take it from me yeah take your own advice
