Darkness (Intro)
01:20
|
|||
(Verse)
Darkness all around me, don't know how I'll get out
Darkness all around me, don't know how that sounds
But I'm fighting, I'm focused, I've been here, I wrote this
Tell me, you noticed
Lately, my dreams, been feeling like nightmares
And if I'm awake, I'm still quite scared
Don't you worry about me, I'll be alright eventually
I just wait and see, did I do enough that you'll remember me?
Don't lose it, don't lose it now (2x)
Don't lose it to the darkness
You have now entered, the story of...
The Dreamer

(Verse 1)
I’m sitting here just writing words inside
Don’t have no place to hide, don’t have no place that’s mine
Sometimes I accidently verbalize, a couple internal lies
I’m going nocturnal, that’s the only way I write
I’m stretching rhymes, stretching rhymes til the morning
The last shot that blast off, it must’ve been a warning
Wondering why I sit here like I’m still in mourning
I might pack it all up and just move to California
Move away, move away, that’s the easy route
You better turn this up loud, blow your speakers out
They say the good and the bad will all even out
But am I leaving out, the things I really think about
You’ve overcome your demons, now what’s there to dream about
Fork in the road, and I’m eating on the cheapest route
Do I have a pure soul or have I finally sold it out
I’ll let you know the answers, once they’ve been figured out
(Hook)
Unsure, uncertain, and unclear (3x)
I don't know (echo in background)
(Verse 2)
I don’t know what you’ve been waiting for
I have no explanations, destinations, or a famous tour
I don’t want the fame no more, but I guess that it’s been said before
Was I speaking truth, the answers no if you were keeping score
Try to learn from the past as once again I swim to shore
Another boat sunk, battleship, peeking at my board
This isn’t a world war, but a war of my world
But can I afford what I give to that girl
(Hook)
Unsure, uncertain, and unclear (3x)
I don't know (echo in background)
(Verse 3)
Maybe we could take a moment try to process it all
Will my feelings come spilling out like Niagara Falls
Don’t know the true or false, maybe I get too involved
I spent too many years tearing down all their walls
Who do I call? Who I call? Call myself now
Don’t want the belt or the wealth, I want held down
People on this path, would probably say I’m hellbound
Funny thing about it, they’re the ones I’ve helped out
(Hook)
Unsure, uncertain, and unclear (3x)
I don't know (echo in background)
(Verse 4)
One opportunity for me to go and spit it
I’ve gone too deep on all these fucking limericks
It’s a lyric that I’m fearing, when I’m feeling incoherent
Got the spirit of a cleric but I’m thinking you don’t hear it
If it’s apparent that I’m errant, where is the heir who will inherit
All of the despair that I’ve been singing out in lyrics
Not prepared for me to steer it, to a clearing I can share it
If you open up your ears, you’ll get the feeling I’m preparing
A mix of my ideas and my fears in the open
The times that I’ve been broken and tears that were soaking
Thoughts in my head, getting deeper than the ocean
My only request is that we let a little hope in

Dark Side Lighter
03:45
|
|||
(Intro)
Who lives on the dark side, get a bit lighter
That love went dark, we’re in search of a fire
(Verse 1)
And I ask where my sanity lives
If it comes around again it’ll be profanity lit
And I’m just a man, abandoned my wits
So if I’m at wits end, which end do I sit?
Can I overcome my demons, think I’ve finally said enough
But every time I try to leave a wall is up
This isn’t reflective, or even transparent
Aware that my cares, steer near the inherent
I go out for air, where’s the heir apparent
If I didn’t sit here and think about weekends out
Maybe I could figure out this overwhelming form of doubt
It’s compelling if I’m telling you I’ve evened out
I think I’m standing stout, ready for the title bout
There’s a few things, that I’ll never ever figure out
A couple punches, I get knocked out
It’s the 10th round, but I’m down and out
(Hook)
Who lives on the dark side, get a bit lighter
That love went dark, we’re in search of a fire
If I live where the distance is not required
Then this love just might be unrequited
(Verse 2)
Said last time, I’m done being depressed
But you can see the last line, it’s not an easy defense
I won’t be baptized in a sea of regrets
I know there’s a few things, I’m just not seeing them yet
This is my battle cry to a beautiful perspective
Open your eyes and see what’s connected
I’m electing to reject this, notion I’ve ever blessed,
It’s a commotion chosen like a never-ending death wish
Caught in the monotony, it’s part of the profession
Even if my wallets deep, I got a lot of questions
Will I go insane, if my worries never ending?
I know those lines got a little bit extensive
I can’t fill the void, by buying things, expensive
I need to find something else to invest in
Some days I wonder where that thing in my chest went
(Hook)
Who lives on the dark side, get a bit lighter
That love went dark, we’re in search of a fire
If I live where the distance is not required
Then this love just might be unrequited
(Bridge)
I see the light looking up at me
But when I walk in the room, man I just can’t breathe
Man I just can’t breathe, it’s like the darkness really got a hold on me
(Verse 3)
Am I hypocrite, just working all day now
A slave to a job, for a pay, I can’t hangout
Got no time for the people in my life
But distance is relative, why do I need a flight?
I might fight with myself all night
Feel I’m running out of time, boy I need that light
Tell me how you’d feel if your dreams in sight
But you can’t be the pilot, won’t make that flight
Even if I’m wrong, I will always write
And If you wanna sing you can take that mic
I just wanna see your fucking spirit ignite
And if you feel you’re breaking down, know it’ll be alright
(Hook)
Who lives on the dark side, get a bit lighter
That love went dark, we’re in search of a fire
If I live where the distance is not required
Then this love just might be unrequited

Clark Kent
03:01
|
|||
(Spoken word)
I gotta take the suit off, hang it up. I’m just can't be Superman anymore
(Verse 1)
I must stop this train, saving girls for years,
it’s time to take that blame, I know I say these things,
Same time, searching for my Lois Lane
Like, where she at? What’s she got wrong?
I’m on my way now. Not in this song
Too many times, I’ve been the savior,
So long old me, see you later
(Hook)
No phone booth, no blue suit
I’m going Clark Kent, I can’t save you
Superman gonna hang up his cape
Make a move, found an escape
What do you do when you hate the way?
Every time it seems I gotta save ‘em, hey
(Verse 2)
My kryptonite is in my lack of vulnerability
Thought that I was getting better, guess it’s just silly me
On the chopping block or they’re bringing out the guillotine
I tell myself you’re safe now, but I’m seeing things
And I don’t wanna be the same guy, do it all again
And you hear it through the grapevine
I hate rhymes sometimes I can’t avoid ‘em
But I spit these lines, I’m sorry it gets annoying
I could have been the king, the one you would have anointed
Try to build a castle but I’d probably destroy it
And I can’t be Superman, going Clark Kent
When the day's end, can’t save them
(Hook) (2x)
No phone booth, no blue suit
I’m going Clark Kent, I can’t save you
Superman gonna hang up his cape
Make a move, found an escape
What do you do when you hate the way?
Every time it seems I gotta save ‘em, hey
(Outro)
Can't save 'em (3x)

Top Floor, Can't Fly
03:45
|
|||
(Verse 1)
Whole lotta love, don’t know how to express
So I keep these feelings tight to the vest
Is it time to confess, but confessions always had you asking questions
Are they open ended or a hopeless poem, no blessings
I wonder what I’m stressing for
Like a matador, you’re the bull, bring out the horns
Maybe I’m just battered, tattered in a scattered war
I don’t know the truth, but that doesn’t matter anymore
(Hook)
Standing on the top floor, I ain't got no wings
Standing on the top floor, All I do is sing
Standing on the top floor, can't fly, can't fly
Standing on the top floor, I don't wanna die
I really think we need to battle through
What we had to do is what we have to do, and that’s the truth
It’s hard to choose because either way I’m singing blues
Either way I spin this poem I’m dizzy and confused
I convinced you we would lose, but I’m changing points of view
It’s poignant, get the ointment, because these scars aren’t just on you
So maybe I’m just crazy and should find someone to talk to
Or get lost in my work, but that’s how I lost you
(Hook)
Standing on the top floor, I ain't got no wings
Standing on the top floor, I'm just gonna sing
Standing on the top floor, can't fly, can't fly
Standing on the top floor, I don't wanna die
(Verse 3)
I’m sorry I’m not done checking off boxes, or being obnoxious,
Life on autopilot, I’m alone in the cockpit
They tell me just stop it
Tim, it can’t be that bad, you’re just a bit off it
But I quit watching, bought wrist watches,
But my time option, isn’t on time, honest
Don’t even have enough time for these rhymes, awesome
Maybe I’m just playing possum,
Maybe I’m just straying, saying how I lost ‘em
If it’s the 80s, I’m having babies with the first option
Don’t move away, I ain’t crisscrossing
Moonwalking across the globe, load up on the hoes
Sorry bout the terminology, I suppose
But I gotta go, it’s time to get away
As I’m running from my own words, now what do I say?
(Hook)
Standing on the top floor, got no wings
Standing on the top floor, all i do is sing
Can't fly (3x)
Don't die (4x)
(Verse
Apologies, for all my latest odysseys
It’d be a bit odd, if I was trying to groom a prodigy
I’m standing in the ocean, yeah the ones where the piranhas eat
Can’t calculate my bearings, it is scary, where to move my feet
Aware that I’ve been daring my defeat
I’m not caring if I’m wearing these emotions on my sleeve
And if you get confused you’ll see
That over time, my rhymes are sharing
All the unique points I bury
And they said I need some blessings, but I’m already living carefree
So if the truth and lies get married
Where’s the proof for youth to carry
I’m so tired of being weary
So I’m gone, I’m out of here, it’s back to The Dreamer, now so scary

Three O'Clock Moonwalk
04:00
|
|||
(Intro)
Up late at night, stuck in my thoughts
Doing that three o’clock moonwalk
(Verse 1)
My inner self, just came down off the shelf
And said, ‘Yo Tim I think I need a little help’
I didn’t notice, don’t lose focus, don’t lose focus
An interview or interrogation
I’m confused, not allowing any space in
And at every day’s end, trying not to hang ten
riding this wave, but I’m crashing off the deep end
Long car ride, crash around the last bend
That’s the truth, kid. Why my thoughts so abusive?
And who is, using my mind? Should I let you in?
I can’t do that, I always use rap
But these thoughts just get trapped
I need my mind to adapt, but why, do I doubt that
(Hook)
Up late at night, stuck in my thoughts
Doing that three o’clock moonwalk
Up late at night, feel I got lost
Doing that three o’clock moonwalk
I’m replaying all my daily events
I’m feeling like an alien, yep
Three o’clock moonwalk (2x)
(Verse 2)
In 2010, I had to hand the torch off
It went to T.D. and we’ve never let the tour stop
In my youth, I acted like a doorstop
T.D. was my inner boost of confidence
And ever since he came around, I’ve been getting compliments
He don’t worry about the consequence
Sometimes, he lacks some common sense
It’s okay, we always get through it
I try to find a balance but this can get confusing
Some days I’m too much Tim, I go back to that quiet young kid
Open my brain and let T.D. in,
And it’s okay, if you think I’m kinda crazy
At this point, my answer’s probably, maybe
So will you lay with me?
And see the world, through my screen
(Hook)
Up late at night, stuck in my thoughts
Doing that three o’clock moonwalk
Up late at night, feel I got lost
Doing that three o’clock moonwalk
I’m replaying all my daily events
I’m feeling like an alien, yep
Three o’clock moonwalk (2x)
(Bridge)
Moonwalk just like Michael J
I’m sorry I chased some friends away
And all the words I couldn’t say
I’m sleeping through another day
Three o’clock moonwalk
Yeah, you might be shocked
And I might just stop
Three o’clock moonwalk
(Hook)
Up late at night, stuck in my thoughts
Doing that three o’clock moonwalk
Up late at night, feel I got lost
Doing that three o’clock moonwalk
I’m replaying all my daily events
I’m feeling like an alien, yep
Three o’clock moonwalk (2x)
(Outro)
And I could tell you how it is,
But I guarantee it isn’t
Today, I finally found my vision
Mixing with my inner me, in perfect unison
So, if you’re just tuning in
Stop this track, and play it again, play it again
I like to keep you wondering, friend
Now you’re wondering when
Three o’clock moonwalk (3x)

The Dreamer (Interlude)
02:33
|
|||
(Verse 1)
4 o’clock, 5 o’clock, then the morning alarm
I wake up, face up, I hate what I’ve become (what I've become)
Now bang these drums
So I can go off, like I told y’all
It’s dream time, let the snowfall
And you’ve seen rhymes I just blow off
Like a blizzard coming in the winter months
Moved south to avoid that
And I’m a little bit nervous so my voice cracks
Cuz I get a bit worried where’s my joy stashed
Feel the T-Pain when I voice facts
(Transition)
(T-Pain)
See homie, I just made it work
It's a cold world, ask my old girl
She feels my pain, and I ain't even try to make it hurt
And my daddy's proud of me,
But he got too much pride to say it out loud for me
(Jay-Z)
Allow me to reintroduce myself
(Verse 2)
It’s T.D., its’ always stood for The Dreamer
need some help you better call FEMA
Wait, I’m not rapping that flow, I’m such a master
Every single other rapper after, me
They just a chapter in a book, we never gave a second look
I’m triple double Westbrook with my left hook
Wait, I gotta be honest, a couple of these lines are feeling obnoxious
Get to the real, start opening boxes
All I really found was a couple of watches
Old college papers when I wrote for The Rocket
And a little bit of info how my bank deposits
What’s that, a birthday card
And a couple other things I hold close to my heart
If I read that book it’d leave me with scarred
And have me reminiscing how I was at the start
It might tell me why I’m alone in the dark
But I think I already filled in that part
Did you know that though?
As I’m looking through my mind’s old Kodak roll
I can’t see what I did with my soul
It was there once in that throwback pose
Maybe I’m a poser when I flip that prose
Like here goes the cold water, better grip that nose
(Bridge)
And I don’t think you really know why
Somedays I’m worried that I might die
Shoot too high for the stars, what if I miss that though
I’m beyond those clouds, I’m in a different zone
That means I’ll float away until I just don’t know
I’m happy for you all that found your way home
Better I’m worried about the journey and that’s this poem
(Outro)
So I wrote it for my own sake
I can’t tell you what it means, but it’s not fake
I woke up from a dream and it’s not great
Every time I dream, it’s my wrong fate
It makes me hesitate, like I did this wrong
But I put it on the album, it’s my lifeline call
But in real life, I think I skipped that song

How Much
03:35
|
|||
(Verse 1)
My mind’s cloudy with the same old things
I don’t even know what the day gone bring
Angel on the shoulder, but she spread her wings
So the demons right here, got a hold on me
I start to wonder, if I’ve had enough of it
You probably wonder if I’m getting out in public
I’m making strides to avoid becoming recluse
I tried to keep it all together then cut it all loose
And I think, I should probably stop it all
Tears in my eyes, then they flowing like a waterfall
I’m the type of guy who won’t let you know he’s vulnerable
Aware that’s a flaw, and let’s see what else I’m doing wrong
It depends on the angle that you’re looking at it
Make a couple changes, but what else would have happened
I’m not here to revisit the past, but I have a could questions, If I could ask?
(Hook)
How much do I cross your mind?
If I’m asking this, from 1 to 99
How much do I cross your mind?
Is it a little, do you think about me all the time?
How much do I cross your mind?
Is it the reason that you’re staying up late at night
How much do I cross your mind?
If I’m being honest, well, nevermind
(Refrain)
Questions and answers, I wonder, does it matter? (2x)
(Verse 2)
Tell me what you’re really thinking late at night
Questions in your head. Do you wonder if we did it right?
I know we talked but I didn’t find closure
Maybe that’s a reason I gotta be alone more
Filling all my time with 1,000 distractions
Only time I let it out is when a fucking track spins
Try to move on but I cannot find the traction
Slippin, sliding, everywhere, where’s the satisfaction
Buried in the mud, all I get is backspin
What’s in my mind is if I want to have you back again
It seems, I got a lot of questions left
I guess this is the song, where I finally get ‘em off my chest
(Hook)
How much do I cross your mind?
If I’m asking this, from 1 to 99
How much do I cross your mind?
Is it a little, do you think about me all the time?
How much do I cross your mind?
Is it the reason that you’re staying up late at night
How much do I cross your mind?
If I’m being honest, well, nevermind
(Verse 3)
Truthfully, it’s really hard to quantify
I battle back and forth, I don’t mean to dramatize
When I think I did it, crossed T’s and dotted I’s
I have a second thought, then I start to prophesize
How would this go? How would that work?
What’s a fair sacrifice? What’s it all worth?
So I told no lies on this whole verse
But it didn’t help the questions unanswered
(Hook)
How much do I cross your mind?
If I’m asking this, from 1 to 99
How much do I cross your mind?
Is it a little, do you think about me all the time?
How much do I cross your mind?
Is it the reason that you’re staying up late at night
How much do I cross your mind?
If I’m being honest, well, nevermind
(Outro)
I don’t know what to do next (4x)
With that said, I pass it to my old friend
T.D. is back to save me from the deep end
He’s the one who gets me out on the weekends
No feelings, so we spend

Armani Everything
04:34
|
|||
(Hook)
I might buy Armani everything
That would guarantee, she never gets a wedding ring
I might buy Armani everything
Yeah, I’ll take it, take it, take it, it's all I need
(Verse 1)
Freeway, my cars, drive fast
Die hard, Living life, reckless
Mark it off, my checklist
You don’t wanna match with me
Swiping right on Sydney
Becca, and Christy
She don’t mean shit to me
She don’t mean shit to me,
That’s become my slogan
As I text with Logan
But she got two kids
So I had to slow the rolly
You don’t really even know me
This song provokes me
To my contacts, I’m scrolling
Hey girl, what’s your plan?
She tell me negatives about her muh fucking man
She wants to see me if I’m in the town again
But this new Armani watch says the timing’s pretty bad
(Hook)
I might buy Armani everything
That would guarantee, she never gets a wedding ring
I might buy Armani everything
Yeah, I’ll take it, take it, take it, it's all I need
(Verse 2)
Buying watches, buying new clothes
Buying 2 Chainz, buying 2 stores
Yeah I’ll buy it, I’ll buy it
So much ice I start a riot
I got the whole collection
So much gold I’m like a pirate
Got a set of them new sheets
They some white linens
They too nice for you to sleep on
So I can’t let you in
At this point, I just buy things, so expensive
But I sold my feelings, sorry I can’t let you in
I’m buying things to try to hide my feelings
It’s an easy concept, I’m not concealing
And it’s not appealing to try to spend a million
When you lose something, you attempt to fill it
Why I’m buying watches? I’m a time collector
If I hit my stride with this rhyme-connector
It might open up my soul to its prime, perfecto
I don’t know why I let you go
But since I’m writing this song, then I didn’t let go
I’m just searching for a paradise
But this left me feeling paralyzed
Thinking I could use a pair of dimes
Talking real hot with the Fahrenheit
150 so I flood the ice
It don’t even matter what’s the price
I didn’t buy it to tell the time, I just bought it because it’s hella nice
(Hook)
I might buy Armani everything
That would guarantee, she never gets a wedding ring
I might buy Armani everything
Yeah, I’ll take it, take it, take it, it's all I need
(Verse 3)
Final chance for me to try to wrap it
I could use a guest verse, call up Chance the Rapper
Wrong number, so he ain’t gonna answer
Guess I’ll do it on my own, find out what I’m really after
You could give the dog a bone
ET, I phoned home
Talked to my dad and my mom
They said what’s wrong
I said, this song
I said, it all
They said, don’t fall
But I never called
Use this mic like a therapist
I know you’re aware of this
Once again, I’m derelict
Terrified of embarrassment
Wrote the script and the character
In search of the fairest world
I’m shopping online
Wishing I could buy a miracle
(Hook)
I might buy Armani everything
That would guarantee, she never gets a wedding ring
I might buy Armani everything
Yeah, I’ll take it, take it, take it, it's all I need

(Intro)
Raise 'em up, check the rooftops
(Hook)
I’m getting higher than you really thought I’d ever be
I’m on that pop club shit that you can never see
I’m getting higher than you really thought I’d ever be
I’m on that pop club shit, bitch I’m doing me
(Verse 1)
I stay up too late, talking bullshit with my friends
I got up too late, I guess I’m wasting days again
You won’t see the times, I speak the rhymes
It’s the truth you find, that blows your mind
How old am I? I forgot the time
Forgot my lines, big script memorized
I’m mesmerized, if heaven lies
In the beauty of a person, it’d be televised
On Tel Aviv, Ce La Vie, Same for you
Same for me, who’s the who’s the, who’s the who?
Watch a little girl hula hoop, she don’t know the view
It’s impossible to watch the flow, yo watch the road
I’ve got to go, hey, come over, here’s a popsicle
Wait, drop missile
(Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop) (3x)
It’s like a nuclear explosion with the way that I’ve been flowing
Know I got you overdosing
Mixing motion with the potion
And I keep you holy ghosting,
Scared to death of your devotion
I’m the best and yeah I wrote it
You can spit the pop club shit, women loved it
I don’t give a fuck, you ain’t what we fuck with
What if? T.D. started dropping some club shit
(droppin' some club, droppin' some club)
(Verse 2)
Dance, Dance
Uh, let’s get to it
I do it, promise y’all that I’ll be the truest
Been in this game eight years, the hates clear
I face fears, then smack back the bogus
These lines well that’s just a bonus
Sometimes I flow a little bit like this
Baby, give me a kiss
For this club, pop shit
Props is, given to the greatest
This rhymes that might make me famous
I hate it, it’s heinous
But there really ain’t no more debating
I moved away to make my name
Bigger than a mother fucker ever dreamed I’d be
It seems to be, I’m obscene, T.D.?
Call him back into the scene, you see
(Verse 3)
You see, I’m the new Bruce Lee
Kung Fu with this shit, Tai Chi
I be, a veteran your featherweight
Block shot, boy you gotta elevate
(We talking skyscrapers, we got no neighbors)
I'm getting higher than I've ever been before (we up here)
You just dropping shit and dropping shit and starting at the floor (what you staring at)
You love, you live this pop shit, this pop club shit (She fell in love)
I won't stop it (no stopping)
I just drop shit (drop, drop)
My flow can be so simple (yeah)
This shit is elemental (periodic)
Feel it in your soul (you feel it, you feel it, you feel it)
I wipe it up, then wipe me down (Boosie)
I'm the greatest, (great, great)
In the town (Charlotte)
Get in my face, I might knock you out (knock 'em out, knock 'em out)
I might just spray (*gun sound*)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, (*gun sound*)
I'm up with the birds, I'm up with the birds (*bird call)
(Hook)
I’m getting higher than you really thought I’d ever be
I’m on that pop club shit that you can never see
I’m getting higher than you really thought I’d ever be
I’m on that pop club shit, bitch I’m doing me

Cedar Point
03:43

(Verse 1)
First time, I was like 10
We went with your fam for the weekend
We were so scared of the first ride
Now it’s our first ride. every time
I learned a lesson, that day
About the other side of fear, when you face that place
What terrified us, it turned out so great
So for every single summer, man I could not wait
One of my best times was probably 2008
First time, we went alone for like 3 whole days
And bumped Carter 3 as we cruised freeways
I remember them 3 girls, but I forget their names
But that’s the way it went
Every summer back there, we’d make new friends
Six straight years, we had great weekends
And I just need to take a moment, I wanna reflect
When I was working at the pharmacy and saved those checks
And you would scoop a couple dollars up to pay for it
And when you didn’t have enough, you know I paid those debts
For three days every summer that I’ll never forget
(Hook)
Rollin, rollin, rollin on a rollercoaster (3x)
I love this life, I really hope it’s never over (3x)
Top thrill, yeah we need that, I just put my hands up and lean back
(Verse 2)
Man, I think my favorite memory
Was playing volleyball on that sandy little beach
And we met them girls, they were sweet as a peach
We kicked it for a while and bought some drinks
When I think back, I can still see a full moon
I’ll take her to ours and you go to their room
Hold up, they gotta go see the fam
And we never knew that was gonna change our plans
Damn, I got my toes in the sand
They’ll be back soon and then it’s on again
While we wait, we meet that church group
Someone lost a wallet and its almost curfew
We lost those girls but didn’t find that wallet
Until the next morning when I stumbled across it
Did a good deed and missed a great night
I wouldn’t take it back because that’s just life
(Hook)
Rollin, rollin, rollin on a rollercoaster (3x)
I love this life, I really hope it’s never over (3x)
Top thrill, yeah we need that, I just put my hands up and lean back
(Verse 3)
Loved all the times that we did share
I really hope we both get to take our kids there
I really think that’d be a great time dude
But I wanna go back to when it was just me and you
When I think about my youth, it’s time spent there with you
I’m gonna turn the speakers up and say we just cruise
Head to Cedar Point at the end of June
I think it’s time to live it up like we used to do
(Hook) (2x)
Rollin, rollin, rollin on a rollercoaster (3x)
I love this life, I really hope it’s never over (3x)
Top thrill, yeah we need that, I just put my hands up and lean back

(Intro)
I don’t want you to feel like, you’re not good enough for the world now
That’s the biggest lie that I’ve ever heard, you better keep on fighting when you get discouraged
(Verse 1)
Take a step back, from that ledge friends
This the story that’ll never, ever, ever end
I’m sorry, if you thought, when you saw the title
That this was my demise, and they were shooting off a rifle
This is more like my revival
More like, More Life, as I’m sneaking through some time zones
I’m worried this’ll put me on trial
Like you got a book of sermons, that you’re reading with your eyes closed
Peek-a-boo, where you going? Achooo, Can you beat the flu?
If not, we got some work to do
I’m a cool dude, with an attitude
That’ll get you battered, like a cake,
Wait, I would hate for you to be late
Don’t need to do double take, I’m not in any trouble, Hank
But if you feel like you’re drowning in a lake
I’m gonna try to be your safety net with these stories that I paint
(Hook)
I don’t want you to feel like, you’re not good enough for the world now
I don’t want you feel like you gotta write a whole bunch of words down
I don’t want you to feel like there’s only one way out
That’s the biggest lie that I’ve ever heard, you better keep fighting when you get discouraged
(Verse 2)
And the first verse was laced with braggadocio
Had to get it off my chest, now I’m feeling closer
To the message I intended, let’s leave this open ended
I’ve had some bad nights, I hope you’re not offended
You’re the reason I’m still breathing, though you don’t write back
I’m just telling all these kids to find their own outlet
And though I’m not sure what you’re going through
Take this as a gift, I wrote a couple poems for you
You can keep them, and there’s no reason
To keep your secrets, you should speak them
That’s a line that I always rely on
Music is a metaphorical shoulder to cry on
So let your bygones, be your bygones
This song is a reason to smile on
So if you feel that there’s nobody that cares
I’m standing right here looking with my two ears
(Hook)
I don’t want you to feel like, you’re not good enough for the world now
I don’t want you feel like you gotta write a whole bunch of words down
I don’t want you to feel like there’s only one way out
That’s the biggest lie that I’ve ever heard, you better keep fighting when you get discouraged
(Verse 3)
And I’m not trying to be the savior
Gotta steer your own route, be your own sailor
Go on your own trip, hitch up your trailer
Forget about reality, we'll get to that later
All I’ll ask is that you do me this favor
Make tomorrow great, and the next day greater
I’m guessing you know the next word I’d rhyme with
I hope I’m making something that will end up timeless

(Intro)
(Female laughing)
(Verse 1)
And I’ve been down a time or two
I’m sorry for the things that I didn’t do
I’m sorry for the dreams that we couldn’t prove
And I’m sorry for being sorry but it is true
So tell me if you’re really waiting for, something to come and fill up that vacant floor
I see us all, always wanting more
I see us all, always unsure
Tell me that you’re in it for the right things
Tell me that you’re seeing all these light beams
To tell the truth, I’m frightened by some nice dreams
Go to bed, see what another night brings
I’m waking up, waking up to see the day
Tell the kids, tell the kids it’s okay
We hope they stay strong, don’t go away
Let my lyrics be a wave, that’ll wash away
(Hook)
I see your light shining bright, oh my, your light shines so bright (light shining all night)
Let that light shine, let that light shine, let that light shine bright (2x)
(Verse 2)
I hope you won’t let go
This ain’t the time to be chasing for a halo
I know there’s bad days so we lay low
But I’m trying not to worry bout the payroll
You tell me that your lights out, this is how to turn it on
I’m trying to be your lighthouse, I won’t steer you wrong
So what you wanna talk about?
I got two ears right here, I’m gonna hear ya out
Tell me the truth, your truth is what I’m talking bout
But the light keeps shining out
(Hook)
I see your light shining bright, oh my, your light shines so bright (light shining all night)
Let that light shine, let that light shine, let that light shine bright (2x)
(Verse 3)
There’s this picture I keep looking at
It’s not of me, it’s not of you, it’s none of that
But every time I see it, I think the same thing
If I could go there then I could change things
But that’s not the way life works
I don’t know what I’ll write on the next verse
Lately I’ve been stressed, and my head hurts
But at least I’m not in fear of my net worth
I just want to be real, no network
Telling me your dreams, you should dive into them headfirst
I’ll be back to write more when my pen works
I still need time to organize my next verse
(Hook)
Let that light shine, let that light shine, let that light shine bright (2x)
(Outro)
Just remember, everything will be alright. I promise.
