Stressed out,
Watch the ceiling on the floor
Friday night
Everybody’s out to score
6pm don't think I'll make it though the door
Red Light,
Heard you screaming through the floor
Your Beady eyed,
Laughing when you say just one more
Hold my coat, as I’m running through the closed door
Sky high
Now I’m ready for some more
Dry ice
Break dancing on somebody's floor
3am and the cops come busting through the doors
Stressed out,
Watch the ceiling on the floor
Monday morn
Wish I was never born
6am don't think I'll make it off the floor
Stressed out, Stressed out,
Strung out, Strung out,
Stressed out, Stressed out,
Strung out, Stresses out,
Stre stre stre stressed out

Chip on Your Shoulder
03:54

Sat at the side of the road in the rain
Held your head as you twisted in pain
You told me the reason you wanted to die
even though I understood I didn’t know why
I don’t why they left you alone
The letter didn’t say you did any wrong
But the reason you kept deep in your head
That chip on your shoulder will lead to the grave
The Chip on your shoulder Like a rock around your neck
Chip on your Shoulder, Will drag you down to the depth
And I don’t know why you didn’t learn that night
That chip on your shoulder will drag you down
The last time I saw you were on the side of the road
You promise you’d call me if you couldn’t hold the load
The rock inside was as hard as your pride
And the chip on the shoulder broke your soul
That Chip on your shoulder Like a rock around your neck
Chip on your Shoulder Will drag you down to the depth
And I don’t know why you didn’t call me that night
That chip on your shoulder took you away
That Chip on your shoulder Like a rock around your neck
Chip on your Shoulder Will drag you down to the depth
And I don’t know why I didn’t call you that night
That chip on your shoulder took you away

Day One

I heard you waiting
I heard you breathing out loud
Going out of my mind
I Can’t see
If you are real or a dream
The silence kills me
Then you make me crawl
Upon a burning floor
Broken from Within
Back to square one
Back to day one
I can’t wakeup
If I’m pretending to sleep
No matter how I try
I could give up
Cause I got to win this fight
I hate day one
Then you make me crawl
Upon a burning floor
Broken from Within
Back to day one
Fuck Day one
Then you make me crawl
Upon a burning floor
Broken from Within
Back to day one
Fuck Day one

Don't Let Me Fade
04:23

Take me home
Back to where I belong
Come on, take me down
Back where I came from
And I don’t want to live this way
I don’t want to fade to some kind of grey
And I, want to light up the night
Burn bright, in your Sky
I don’t want to fade to grey
I don’t let me fade to grey
When the walls come down
I’ll be hanging on
When the floor caves in
I’ll be standing still
And I don’t want to fade away
I don’t want to go, that way
And I don’t want to make you cry
I want to be that light, in your dark sky
Don’t let me fade away
Don’t let me fade away
I don’t want to be afraid
When it cuts me down
Remember when I shone like the sun
And take me down
When all this pain is gone
And I, don’t want to fade away
I don’t want to go that way
And I, don’t want to make you cry
I want to be that light in your dark sky
Don’t let me fade away
Don’t let me fade away
Don’t let me fade away
Don’t let me fade away
I won’t be afraid

Little One
05:58

Stood at the edge of world and I talk you around.
I couldn’t protect you when the world put you down
Your eyes were vacant when you questioned me why
I couldn't’ find the words to silence your cries
And somehow I missed
The outwardly signs
Even though I looked
I missed them this time
And I let you down, little one
And I let you down, little one
You curled in a ball on a white leather chair
Your lips told a story and I wasn’t prepared
I saw the marks on that porcelain skin
I failed to protect you and let the wolves in
And somehow I knew
It would happen one day
But I didn’t predict
It would happen this way
And I let you down, little one
And I let you down, little one
Many years ago I stood on the edge
I tried to recall the wisdom he gave
See a father is nothing but a mortal man
That keeps the wolves away as long as he can
And somehow I know
It’ll happen again
Just remember this doors
And let yourself in
And be here for you, little one
here for you, little one
