Everybody Waits Until August, to complain that summer's over But their whole month of July was fucking boring Everybody Aches in the winter, and bitches it's too cold outside and wishes it was summer once again So Tell Me Why During the summer, you all tell me that you're bored During the winter you say, that High School's torture I know You're Never Happy You're always trashing something And Everything is reduced down to nothing So Let Me Know When you'll be in a better mood And I know that you'd hate Christmas if you could Everybody Wins In a culture that won't teach you how to lose And anyone who plays will get a trophy Everybody Hates Who they are, but they who they hate And what they are is just a fucking hypocrite So Tell Me why You say you hate my song but you sing it to yourself Can't say you're okay 'cause you really need the help I know You're Never Happy You're always trashing something And Everything is reduced down to nothing So Let Me Know When you'll be in a better mood And I know that you'd hate Christmas if you could No one understands that this life is short You're lucky if you make it 80 years So I dare you try to me to spend that time Trying to impress my peers You're Never Fucking Happy No one's ever satisfied With the feeling of just being alive Please Understand That I imitate a better man Being as positive as best I can No one understands that this life is short You're lucky if you make it 80 years So I dare you try and tell to spend that time Trying to impress my peers

Social Media will be the death of me So turn off all your games, your phones, and your tv And you don't realize how fucking stupid you all look So power down all of your things and read a book Cause we look Like a bunch of robots glaring at our screens Blocking all emotion, they go straight to dvd And don't even get me started About the broken hearted people on the world wide web Cause I Live, I Care, I See I Love, I Touch, I Breathe And when you finally see the things, coming back around And can you have a conversation with me when I'm down Cause I can't keep up with the new things of today I just need everything to slow down, to slow down Why don't you take the time to see what you can be Without all the things you use to ignore me And you don't realize how fucking you all look What ever happened to the things computers took Cause we look Like a bunch of zombies tearing down the wall of Social interaction if there is anymore at all And do I talk to my companion or a power chord extension? Plugged into this useless wall Cause I Live, I Care, I See I Love, I Touch, I Breathe And when you finally see the things, coming back around And can you have a conversation with me when I'm down Cause I can't keep up with the new things of today I just need everything to slow down, to slow down (Finn Lovell) An attempt to fit in Cause you've always been, a fucking fake to your real life friends I know your lies, like the back of my hand Like how the ocean, kisses the sand I've asked you once, and I've asked you twice Is this kingdom you claim worth your demise? So go wear your mask, but when your Wi-Fi is down Don't cry over your missing crown Biiiiiiiiiiiittttcccccccchhhhhhhh!!!!!!! And when you finally see the things, coming back around And can you have a conversation with me when I'm down Cause I can't keep up with the new things of today I just need everything to slow down, to slow down

January 04:35
At first I didn't know you well I can't believe you rang my bell And January was cold that day And after all of that you stayed Two years now and I still feel Just the same through every meal Like I'd walk ten miles without my shoes If it means I'm coming home to you If it means I'm coming home to you Because January is so damn cold But there's one day that makes it alright It warms up my bones just enough for the night Even if the sun don't rise You know I'm scared of what's to come The ridicule of everyone So take my money and watch me run And then come back it wasn't all that fun I can't believe you still love me It makes me think you should be free Of all my demons in your life I don't deserve you another night But I'd walk ten miles without my shoes If it means I'm coming home to you Because January is so damn cold But there's one day that makes it alright It warms up my bones just enough for the night Even if the sun don't rise Even February is too damn long just because of the snow and the ice It takes all control of my thoughts in my life You get me through it every single time I'd walk ten miles without my shoes If it means I'm coming home to you

Let Me In 04:16
Are you gonna let me in? Are you gonna let me go? Are you gonna set me free? Do you wanna start a war with me? Everybody works from 9 to 5 Cause it bottles up what's all inside I never thought that you'd end up on my list Waiting on your porch, how did it end up like this? I thought you'd know I care A thousand cameras stare at you It's like playing solitaire cause I'm all alone Are you gonna let me in? Are you gonna let me go? Are you gonna set me free? Do you wanna start a war with me? Oh darling, it's you and me against this earth Raise your fist for what it's worth Take a second look at my intention Will you let me go along with you? Cause you know what I've been going through Take me for another ride Even though it's suicide I'll wait outside your window every night Baby will you let me in? My restless brain goes coast to coast And you're making me wait that's just like most Remember all the times we left those parties and just went back and slept? And if I fuck it up your dad will kill me (kill me) He'll hide you from then I'm all alone Are you gonna let me in? Are you gonna let me go? Are you gonna set me free? Do you wanna start a war with me? Oh darling, it's you and me against this earth Raise your fist for what it's worth Take a second look at my intention Will you let me go along with you? Cause you know what I've been going through Take me for another ride Even though it's suicide I'll wait outside your window every night

Maybe it's the snow that is numbing my toes as I stand here I wait to pick you up and you look like you just woke up and it's perfect I worry every night that it's too perfect And statistics say it probably won't work out It comes at me like a flood, I think it's in my blood that I'll always be afraid that Colors in a spectrum won't always end up together And one day down the road we'll meet again, we'll meet again The interaction then will be so awkward and I won't know what to say And isn't that so weird? Because at one time we knew Each other like me knew ourselves You did everything that I did The future scares the shit out of me Please don't ever leave me The future scares the shit out of me Please don't ever leave me Maybe it's the thorn in my side that keeps me slowing that the others it's eating at my skull and it's getting to my lungs like a cancer And I could be dead tomorrow, let's just face it Or locked inside a cell for my whole life I feel like I already am, I can't grow into a man Maybe it's just fate that Colors in a spectrum won't always end up together And one day down the road we'll meet again, we'll meet again The interaction then will be so awkward and I won't know what to say And isn't that so weird? Because at one time we knew Each other like me knew ourselves You did everything that I did The future scares the shit out of me Please don't ever leave me The future scares the shit out of me Please don't ever leave me Colors never fail to glow But on the canvas they won't show The saturation is fading and it makes me sick It's like, you never knew me (Tom Simmons) Colors never fail to glow But on the canvas they won't show The saturation is fading and it makes me sick Cause it's like, you never knew me Colors in a spectrum won't always end up together And one day down the road we'll meet again, we'll meet again The interaction then will be so awkward and I won't know what to say And isn't that so weird? Because at one time we knew Each other like me knew ourselves You did everything that I did The future scares the shit out of me Please don't ever leave me The future fucking scares the living shit out of me Please don't ever leave me Don't you, ever leave me Ever leave me (Paul Beladino) Colors, Colors
