Conceited 02:49
Don't let your wallet grow bigger than your heart Despite what you think you are falling apart Your judgement is based upon a self centered system Never the culprit always the victim How do you find piece of mind When you rest your head at night I bet you'd see your flaws if you opened up your eyes I can't take the lies you told Just to get by Without putting in any work You just wasted all our time Your lack of common sense And disregard for our expense Will be what hinders you the most In your search for great success And I hope I made it clear That I was never in your debt The only place you'll ever "make it" Is on the list of my regrets

Change 03:31
I can't get up, I can't slow down Pushing 85, headed southbound Can't find the words, can't write them down The feeling is there but it won't be found You can't stay up there forever I'm biting the bullet cause I have control now and I've been thinking lately It's not the same without you here Where the hell have you been For the past fucking year I've been spending all my time Dwelling on the past I'll sail my sinking ship While the water brims the mast Your mind is on your wealth While I fend for myself Addicted to your stealth I worry for you health It feels so out of place When I move at your pace Wipe your second face It's a fucking waste to spend my time on Sometimes it's better to leave all you know Take some time, and let your mind grow And I've been burning bridges to make myself feel like I have the upper hand I have the upper hand

Progress 03:35
I can explain all the progress I've made in these past few years I'm aware of your doubt for me Your search to find all of my fears My fears are nonexistent, but yours are quite the opposite I wonder what it is you do to come across confident You lie to yourself You sure lied to me You're nothing but a ghost of the person I thought you'd be You know damn well you lied to me I have a simple way of life And a complex state of mind I'm not the person I used to be I left that behind You've always seen it different You never even listened The words go in your ears but I'll be damned if you cared at all Damned if you cared at all I know that you lied I know you can't face this And know that I tried Despite the fact that you missed all of my lines I know you can't face this The fact that I tried I know you can't face this

Chesapeake 04:05
It's too cold in my room The essence of lonely, the one and only I feel so consumed In this winter weather, I wish I was better I know I should try to be the best that I could be But I still smoke cigarettes and I have since I was fifteen And it floods my brain Like a flash flood with pouring rain And it floods my brain Like a flash flood with pouring rain It's hard to take off the mask that my friends placed on me The image of a washed-up, broke-ass deadbeat But I've got to, get up and wash off my knees And be the righteous man My father taught me to be I've never been good at dealing with change I often pretend that I'm turning the page But deep down I know I'm losing composure I'm losing what I have left It seems like every time I try to change I get stuck living in the same old same I can't escape living with anxiety
5.
Talk me up, until my ears fall off my head You're wasting your words I'll never remember the things you said It always goes straight to the breakdown And always finds its way to the comedown I can't see the way that you see me I guess I'll just bite my tongue again for the last time Yelling nonsense until my head hurts like the last time I think on this every night I leave my thoughts in rhyming lines I can't seem to shame the feeling You'll fuck it up this time I think on this every night I spend my thoughts and wasted time I'm trading in my anguish for laughter My language for banter To find what I sought after A boldness of candor And I can't find the words to say that you can stand up and always fall back into the arms that caught you twice before
