Wait Your Turn

Walking down this endless road I can’t seem satisfied
I could go to Mars and back and not be feeling tired
I don’t mean to interrupt but I need help with this
Just to be an explosion is my perfect bliss
Moneys not the issue I could do this without pay
I just want it now more than words could ever say
I’ll leave you in the dust and not come back for you
I got my second wind it’s like I’m made brand new
It’s like I’m made brand new
You can hold me high you can lift me up
But it won’t compare to the drug of non-stop
The ice is thin and there’s few to pass
The trek gets hard when you’re going so fast
So please don’t let me fall into the cracks and make it true
That the lies that they all told will not come through
I’ll try to swing and a miss will make me learn
That sometimes you just have to wait your turn
My head is lifted high a new hope has begun
But I’m rushing in through open doors without a gun
Its dark in here but I have faith in candle light
I’ll do everything I can do to make this right
To make this right
So please don’t let me fall into the cracks and make it true
That the lies that they all told will not come through
I’ll try to swing and a miss will make me learn
That sometimes you just have to wait your turn
I will not let this go and I won’t leave it all behind
And I will not slow it down, no I will not take my time
We can’t see eye to eye so I’ll just do it on my own
The fact that you won’t help me really shows how much you’ve grown
I will not let this go and I won’t leave it all behind
And I will not slow it down, no I will not take my time
We can’t see eye to eye so I’ll just do it on my own
The fact that you won’t help me really shows how much you’ve grown
So please don’t let me fall into the cracks and make it true
That the lies that they all told will not come true
I’ll try to swing and a miss will make me learn
That sometimes you just have to wait your turn
Wait your turn

Two Face

Tried to ignore you but you seem to be resurfacing
It seems like years I’ve been holding you down in privacy
Tried to escape but when I’m running you run faster
It’s hard to be a hero when I can’t avoid disaster
I tried to hold it in but I got carried away
You’re holding me back
You’re keeping me still
I feel less like me and more like you
I can’t go on without someone else
But I can go on without you
Sometimes the slightest things can seem to make me lose control
It’s when you come over me it’s like my morals start to go
Too many exits for what’s inside to come on out
But it’s my fault cause I gave you the benefit of the doubt
I tried to hold it in but I got carried away
I just hate how you always have something to say
You’re holding me back
You’re keeping me still
I feel less like me and more like you
I can’t go on without someone else
But I can go on without you
I don’t want to throw away and just leave it to rot
But I’m giving it all I’ve got
The cause I’m fighting for has not gone away
I’m close to giving up believe it or not
So just give me a hand and I’ll stay
The cause I’m fighting for has not gone away
You’re holding me back you’re keeping me still
I feel less like me and more like you
You’re holding me back
You’re keeping me still
I feel less like me and more like you
I can’t go on without someone else
But I can go on without you

No Takers

You know I’m doing this for your own good
But you’re not helping me the way you should
I shouldn’t always have to be your helping hand
I shout ideas but you drown them out
Give you a way but you constantly doubt
I shouldn’t always have to tell you stop and go
You’ve always said you want to be the best and live right now
It’s like you’re stuck in the attic never got to see the world go around
It’s been a whole year today since I have left you this way
Can we stop playing your games and please stop dragging me down
I put you in lost and found but there’s no takers today
I hate it when you’re around so please stop dragging me down
Our fingers locked turned out not enough
Fallen through into this patch of rough
You have no legs to hold you down
Rely too much on your superiors
Hard to remember the last time that you won
You always let everyone push you around
How many times have I told you that your life has gone astray
Lightest way I can put it is that it’s never going to be okay
It’s been a whole year today since I have left you this way
Can we stop playing your games and please stop dragging me down
I put you in lost and found but there’s no takers today
I hate it when you’re around so please stop dragging me down
Had to help you keep your ground cause you’re on a cliff edge not safe or sound
Always had to save you from the fall
I don’t wish this for myself or anyone else inside your world
Trying hard to keep you out of a stall
It’s been a whole year today since I have left you this way
Can we stop playing your games and please stop dragging me down
I put you in lost and found but there’s no takers today
I hate it when you’re around so please stop dragging me down
It’s been a whole year today since I have left you this way
Can we stop playing your games and please stop dragging me down
I put you in lost and found but there’s no takers today
I hate it when you’re around so please stop dragging me down

I can take it once or twice but it becomes too much for me
Why can’t you just accept it that’s never what I wanted to be
You always had your foot on me I can’t escape you locked the door
You became a fossil and it got to where I wanted more
You had me in denial but it seems so clear I need to run from this
Every time I turn my back you draw me in with another kiss
This prison cell I’m locked in has been guarded by you
Guarded by you
One thing
I know
You need to let me go
Stuck here
Trapped in
You’re crawling under my skin
I know
I know
You need to let me go
Na na na na na na na na
I haven’t seen the light of day since you have kept me in this cage
The fights go on and on because of the wars that you wage
Understanding is the first step but I won’t take any steps at all
But still I’m on my phone all day just waiting around for another call
You had me in denial but it seems so clear I need to run from this
Every time I turn my back you draw me in with another kiss
I think you’re finally done so please step over me
Over me
One thing
I know
You need to let me go
Stuck here
Trapped in
You’re crawling under my skin
I know
I know
You need to let me go
Na na na na na na na na
This prison cell I’m locked in has been guarded by you
You’ve kept me from doing what I wanted to do
These shoes are concrete and I cannot move
It’s hard to see a situation where I do not lose
One thing
I know
You need to let me go
Stuck here
Trapped in
You’re crawling under my skin
One thing
I know
You need to let me go
Stuck here
Trapped in
You’re crawling under my skin
I know
I know
You need to let me go
Na na na na na na na na
I know
I know
You need to let me go
I know
I know
You need to let me go
