Lyrics
I feel so alone or maybe I don't
And I'm gonna make a change or maybe I won't
I've been wasting my time watching lives go by
And I just wanna scream, "Am I losing my mind?"
I get so sick of myself
Could I be anyone else?
I get so sick of myself
Could I be anyone else?
No
My life's pretty great, no reason to complain
But sometimes I wish it weren't, so I'd have something to blame for being this way
Yeah, it's all in my head, a dangerous place
And it's pretty hard to fight when it's you that you face
I am so sick of myself
Could I be anyone else?
I am so sick of myself
Could I be anyone else?
No, I can't be somebody else
Gotta own up and love myself
'Cause I'm no good at faking
I'm not perfect, I well know
But I've got a heart and room to grow
Plus everyone else is taken
I can't be somebody else
Gotta own up and love myself
'Cause I'm no good at faking, no
I'm not perfect, I well know
But I've got a heart and room to grow
Plus everyone else is taken
Though I get so sick of myself
I couldn't be anyone else
Though I get so sick of myself
I wouldn't be anyone else
No
I've been losing my mind for quite a long time
And I just want to scream, "You can't have my life!"

Lyrics
You showed up at a party to see what you could find
You saw her on the dancing floor, 'neath the festal lights
Only hours later, you were standing at her door
You were so excited, couldn't wait a minute more
But much to your chagrin, she only said goodnight
After all these hours and all your work, she didn't ask you inside
But much to her surprise, you weren't in the asking mood
Dessert wasn't offered, so you took forbidden fruit
No, it was not about her, anyone could tell
You didn't take a moment to think of any but yourself
You became an animal, led by your desires
You say you couldn't stop them, but in truth, you didn't try
The truth is that we made you, though it doesn't change your fault
Still, we wouldn't tame you, lock you inside four walls
No, it was not about her, everyone could tell
We didn't take a moment to think of any but ourselves
You say boys will be boys, and girls will be girls
But he took that from her when he shattered her world
Though he broke her body, broke her spirit, he couldn't take her soul
For she would take it with her life when she couldn't break his hold

Lyrics
How did I get here?
How have I wandered so far?
Where the days are so short and the nights are so dark
You know this isn't what I wanted what I thought it would be
I think I'm changing I'm fading my strength's leaving me
Okay alright boys let's go
Abandon all hope ye who enter here
Rejoice in the guilt and shame embrace all the fear
You're not the strongest not the fastest not the smartest not the best aw
What makes you think that you are different from all the rest? Ha!
I just want to be able to write want to be able to add to the light
Want to be able to fight the good fight right?
But these thoughts in my head make it so hard just to get out of bed
Make it so hard to face the day
These faceless shadows in my brain
And the pain is self-inflicted
Targeted my heart but I just nicked it thank God my aim was off
I don't know what it could have cost I don't know what I could have lost
Why do we have to face this hell that transforms people into empty shells
Oh well I guess that I won't settle here won't settle for merely existing
I'll keep persisting and whistling all the days that I've got
'Cause there's a point to this life a point to the strife
The struggle and trouble are not all there is

Lyrics
The blue jay sang way up in the sky
The lion roared as she flew by,
"Hey, blue bird, come on down from high"
The blue jay said, "I'm afraid I'll die"
The lion called, "There's no danger here"
"Except for you," the blue jay jeered
The lion said, "There's no need to fear"
"When you're with me, there's no need to fear"
The blue jay sat upon his shoulder
Because she believed what he had told her
What would you do? What would you say?
If I told you that was the day
She sang a fresh tune, he started to play
The world became new for the cat and the jay
The blue jay asked, "Are you alright?"
The lion said, "Don't you worry, I'm fine"
The blue jay said, "I know you're lying"
"But would you please say what's on your mind"
The lion roared, "I must prove I'm king"
The blue jay said, "You don't have to be anything when you're with me"
"When you're with me"
The lion dropped what he'd been holding
Because he believed what she had told him
What would you do? What would you say?
If I told you that was the day
The lion was weak, and it was okay
The world shined anew for the cat and the jay
What would you do? What would you say?
Would you believe if I said we could change?
The way that we love, it happened that day
The world became new for the cat and the jay
For the cat and the jay
The lion and the blue jay

Lyrics
I built a house in front of this mountain
Should I settle down?
I'm here alone, a ghost in this valley
And a house ain't a home
I'm afraid if I look too deep, I'll see I'm weak
Even more, I fear I'm strong, and the path ahead is long
So I'll lay here instead, 'n the shade of this mountain
Not living or dead
I'll bury my head and breathe in the valley
That will be my bed
I'm afraid to look too deep and see I'm weak
Even more, I fear I'm strong, and the path ahead is long
(Oh oh oh)
What's that I hear?
(Oh oh oh oh)
A singin' in my ear
(Come away)
I hear the call
(Come over the mountain)
But what if I fall?
(We'll show you the way)
I can see out the morning mists in front of me
I can see
And I can be with so many others, sisters and brothers
I can be
And I am free to try and to fail and to try
I am free
But I am here, still in this house, scared as a mouse
I am here
'Cause I'm afraid to look too deep, and see I'm weak
Even more, I fear I'm strong, and the path ahead is long
Though I'm afraid, I will look deep, and see I'm weak
Even more, I'll see I'm strong, and the path ahead is long
Though I'm afraid, I must look deep, and see my weakness
Even more, I'll see I'm strong, and the path ahead is long
Still I'll go on
(Though you're afraid)
Though I am afraid
(You must look deep)
I have looked deep
(And see your weakness)
And seen my weakness
(Even more)
Even more
(You'll see you're strong)
I've seen I'm strong,
(And the path is long)
And the path is long
(You must go on)
Still I'll go on
Alright let's go!
(Though you're afraid)
Yes I'll go on
(You have looked deep)
Yes I'll go on
(And seen your weakness)
I'll go on
(Even more)
I'll go on
(You've seen you're strong)
Yes I'll go on
(And the path is long)
I'll go on
(You still go on)
I'll go on
I'll go on
I'll go on
