Wake up your sense of adventure Shake up your mundane routine Forget about work for awhile Leave it behind it’s about god damn time Go on and find what feeds your soul Hold on and never let it go Believe you can do anything Dare to be bold don’t believe all you’re told Chorus: Come on and grab that hand right next to you And help one another make it through Lead the way to something new Dream big, now fortune favors the brave Think big and branch out of your mind Devise a path of your own A beacon of light guiding others to take flight Don’t stop pursuing what you want Can’t stop this run away train Maintain a modest state of mind Keep your head high even when you don’t know why

Paranoia 05:31
These delusions have illusions of their own And my conscience is a field that’s overgrown Forced seclusion to obtain one last grasp of any bit of control Got a reputation to uphold Time is lost what day is it I’m crawling right outta my skin I’m compromised, they’re closing in, gotta get you outta my head They say it gets easier with time behind your back But every hour that ticks on by I strive to stay on track Sinking down on solid ground Lost and alone with my friends all around Screaming for help but no one hears This has been my life for years These creations of fixations get out of hand Living day to day afraid is not what I planned Seems temptations always find a way to sway my belief of wrong and right Got a knack for acting out of spite Spiral deeper and deeper into madness Not much longer I can take this Paranoia gnaws at my nerves Running faster and faster to a dead end How much longer can I pretend My destruction doesn’t fuel you (is what I deserve)

What If... 08:46
What if I was born by another name Would I sing these songs for you just the same Would I tell you bout where I’ve been, lonely hearts and life for whatever the hell its worth What if I had come from another womb Would this voice I own choose to sing the blues Would I find myself to weak or stand up and speak to defend my pleas What if I was raised by another man Would I still be singing the hardest I can Would I ever dare to dream outside this web of self-esteem or let fear win We’ve all got more to give than we think we got There’s so much more to see than our eyes perceive What if I were you and you were me Of all the questions left to ask What if I weren’t here at all, at all What if I weren’t here at all What if I was wed to another heart Would my joy to sing begin to depart Would I feel the need to seek or forever know to keep my only muse What if I was living in another skin Would my chance to sing fall short and thin Would my patience persevere, rise above above the fear or let in get the best of me What if I was taught to hate instead of love Would I use these words to set myself above Would I join hand in hand with the heart of gold band or never understand
