Clammed In My Shell

I'm clammed in my shell again, I wish I never found that fortress. I'll spread my wings again, though I know it's hard for us to reach our heights.
With day-old coffee. I'm wearing yesterday's clothes with my unkempt hair.
I'm clammed in my shell again, I wish I never found that fortress. I'll spread my wings again, though I know it's hard for us to reach our heights.

Full Moon

I think it's in the way in which you saved me, well you heard me, coming undone. I know it's not the same, but it's exciting, something worth fighting, another page. I do not know if I would be here without you, and I did not know a heart could hurt this much. Well I know that's true, yeah I know that's true.
With a full moon, a full moon, we'll rise and take what's ours. With a full moon, a full moon, we'll rise and take what's ours. We'll rise and take ours.
So swift in the night we escaped it, overcame it, trading our time. We're tied to a wage, we've built a burden where we're herd into our cage. I am worthy of love even if I sleep outside. I am a human being and I deserve to be alive. To be alive.
With a full moon, a full moon, we'll rise and take what's ours. With a full moon, a full moon, we'll rise and take what's ours. We'll rise and take what's ours. We'll rise, we'll take what's ours. We'll take ours.

Another Town
03:11

Read a book, or go to work, what if I don't wanna use my brain anymore. If cutting corners and getting by isn't the dream then it's all just a lie. I said, "God will wait till the morning? You're keeping me up at night. I'm forty minutes late coming home."
Drag me out, spice things up, I would kill for almost anything. Roll away, in the dark, when you need to feel your fingers again. I learned to never wait for anyone, but I know now I need to. I'm just four years coming too.
And so I'll move to another town where I won't sweat it out day to day. Growing cold from all the little things when we will burn out in the end. It's another high point, for a low life, and what's there to see? So I'll move to another town where we'll be fine. Oh yeah, we'll be fine out here.

When I Know
02:57
|

Without a handsome reward at the end of what you're doing. Without the voice of your friends to make sure you're not always falling. Hoping that all of the bad things that happen will work out in the end. Straying from where you find yourself when you're stuck again and again.
So when I know, where I wanna go, and who I wanna be. No one will change my mind but me. And I'll be the best human I can be.
So down and again, I've held myself back far too scared. Worried about, what people think and if they care. To put yourself out there with no hesitation what a beautiful life to live. I wanna use my voice, not be afraid of its power, and scream all I can scream.
So when I know, where I wanna go, and who I wanna be. No one will change my mind but me. And I'll be the best human I can be.

I Don't Wanna Stop
01:34

If I were to stop and fall down, who would know? I'm barely moving these days, the fire is gone. I have found myself in search of something that never came to me. I found myself neglecting friends, is that the person I wanna be?
If I were to escape and run loose, well who would care? I love the comforts in my life, but I need the wind in the air. I've been told I could be anything I could dream. But along the way in the wasted days, I stopped believing in myself.
I deserve to be happy. I deserve to be loved. I deserve to have good thoughts just like everyone. If I were to stop I wouldn't have the joy of waking next to you. I love being in love with you. I don't wanna stop.

Long Way To Go

Sneak up, hold it together. I've felt worse and I've also felt better. I've got a long way to go. I got a long way to go.
I got a short fuse and no condition, to ease my mind of the shit I've been missing. I've got a long way to go. I got a long way to go.
Sneak up, hold it together. I've felt worse and I've also felt better. I've got a long way to go. I got a long way to go. I got a long way to go.
