Breaking My Rules

Seems every day I pick a fight
Against myself and I don’t know why
Try to resist with all my might
Temptation strikes, I take a bite
Place a bet on tomorrow’s win
But I’m runnin’ outta money to gamble with
Eats away at me bit by bit
But like a drug, I take a hit
I just keep breaking my rules
Always acting the fool
I just keep breaking my rules
Always losing my cool
I just keep breaking my rules
Always acting the fool
I just keep breaking my rules
Always losing my cool
No matter what I do
I always lose
Starting over every day
No matter what I do
I always lose
Though I try, I can’t break away
Can’t see it under my skin
But I feel the hurt with every grin
Weird little quirk comes from within
My patience for it growing thin
I just keep breaking my rules
Always acting the fool
I just keep breaking my rules
Always losing my cool
No matter what I do
I always lose
Starting over every day
No matter what I do
I always lose
Though I try, I can’t break away

Piece of the Puzzle

Another hour, another day
Another revolution ‘round the sun
Another moment wasted thinking
‘Bout the things that I still haven’t done
I gotta let it go
I gotta trust the flow
These things they come and go, you know they do
I know, I know...
Spinnin’ in a circle through the seasons
Through the waves of place and time
Spinnin’, always tumblin’, always turnin’
Through the waves within my mind
I gotta let it go
I gotta trust the flow
These things they come and go, you know they do
I know, I know...
That’s one more piece of the puzzle
With every passing day
That’s one more piece of the puzzle
So they say
Breathing in, and breathing out
And wonderin’ what on Earth it’s all about
Breathing in the good vibrations
Breathing out the fear, the pain, the doubt
I gotta let it go
I gotta trust the flow
These things they come and go, you know they do
I know, I know, I know...

Slow It Down

Always something I gotta do, always someplace to be
Spend my days hustling ‘cause life just ain’t free, no
Tryin’ to pay the bills to keep the dream alive
But it seems the little things in life are passing me by
When I’m running all around you always cross my mind
I think I see someone who looks like you, it happens all the time
Seems like somebody has answered my prayer
‘Cause when I go to sleep at night, you’ll always be there
Why don’t we chill out and watch the sun go down?
Why don’t we hang around?
I know that I’ve been busy
I know you miss me
So baby, why don’t we slow it down?
Let’s go away somewhere, just me and you
Tell each other all the things that we’ve been wanting to
Do the things we always said that someday we’d do
Even after everything, our love feels brand new
It’s been such a long, long while since
We had the time to really chill
We just gotta hold out, baby
We’re coming up to a bigger thrill
Why don’t we chill out and watch the sun go down?
Why don’t we hang around?
I know that I’ve been busy
I know you miss me
So baby, why don’t we slow it down?

Walls

Back when I was young
Not afraid of anything
Free to by myself
I had the world held on a string
But it seems like the older I get
I'm tumbling around in my head
Don't know who I am anymore
Forgot about what all this is for
I got these walls all around me
I built them myself
Out of concrete and fear
Steel beams and tears
It's gonna take some time
For my stars to shine again
Last little while
Has been so crazy up and down
I just wanna hide
My mind is spinning all around
And I can't escape these feelings of dread
My mind is fraying just like a thread
Where did all these hangups come from
So sick of feeling not good enough
I got these walls all around me
I built them myself
Out of concrete and fear
Steel beams and tears
It's gonna take some time
For my stars to shine again
Maybe it's all in my head
I gotta find my groove
Maybe it's all in my head
I gotta find my truth
I got these walls all around me
I built them myself
Out of concrete and fear
Steel beams and tears
It's gonna take some time
For my stars to shine again
Maybe it's all in my head
I gotta find my groove
Maybe it's all in my head
I gotta find my truth
