Poison
It's hard to get out of bed
It's hard to control thoughts in your head
Your body feels so heavy you can't get up
You try so hard to just sit up
Feel so lonely even when you have a friend
You put a smile on your face and play pretend
Loving yourself and having confidence feels so hard to do
You feel you push people away though you don't mean to
The darkness that you fight inside you is more unbearable everyday
You have to believe one day at a time is what you got to do to enjoy today
Depression seeps through your body like poison slowing you down
Slowly killing your motivation taking your breath like you are going to drown
You feel like you're climbing a mountain that is impossible to climb
Even when it feels like you're getting to the top you fall back down in time
You want to believe in life and love because there's so many people that have lost it
You want to see the point and believe in it so much you fight for it
You make people laugh and try to make them happy because you're not
You overthink too much and you want your brain to shut off a lot
You feel like a robot and that you're just programmed to live your life
White picket fences, children and a car and a wife
This world has a lot of poison but it also has a lot of good
I'm always going to fight because it's all I know and I know I should
The emptiness inside sometimes it's too hard to bare
My strength is my friends and family because I know they care
Poison is in everyone and eventually it comes out
It's how you deal with it, sometimes you just have to scream and shout
Depression can make you weak and hold you down
Just try to fight it and don't let it make you drown
Wake Up!
I close my eyes hoping things will change when I open them. It just seems were doomed to repeat the same mistakes again and again. The earth is crying out for us to stop raping it of its resources and its habitats. Deforestation and pollution is common; we need to stand up with more than just words maybe even with baseball bats. Thats all the Government understands, violence and war, money has no price for them. Theyll kill for it, pollute for it and rape the lands to get it over and over again. We, the people, need to stand up and defend the earth and the animals of all species. If we turn a blind eye were just as bad as the corporations and the Government in this crisis.
They can stretch the truth and lie to us all they want, but people are starting to wake up and see the truth. Seeing that the world we live in isnt as great as its told to be, basically we all work to pay an imaginary toll booth. The natural disasters keep getting increasingly worse. Saving the planet will take time and money but no one wants to take coin from their purse. Were supposed to have freedom and rights, but the people that stand up to fight get arrested or shut down. Doesnt matter who you vote for or who is in power, theyre all the same whoever wears the crown.
This is the world we live in and its getting worse and worse day by day. Whats it going to take for us to change, the end of the world or our judgment day? Martin Luther King, Jr. said he had a dream, I doubt that dream consisted of the land being destroyed and the entire world becoming slaves to their governments. Some of us have great parents and some of us have not so great parents, but no matter what most parents wouldnt have signed for our slavery, they wouldnt have gave their parental consent.
We go to war but honestly what are we fighting for? We fight for our freedom, we fight for our country but honestly were fighting for money. We work for a living and most of us live paycheck to paycheck. The government sits in their cozy buildings and drives their fancy cars while the earth is nothing but a wreck. If we dont stand together and fight for our freedom, and fight for the earth to help it mend. Were doomed to slavery and to the governments ignorance for the earth, if we do nothing the human race will end.
Propane - Done in the way of Eric Clapton's Cocaine
I'm here to inform
You on how to stay warm
Propane
It's efficient and clean
You'll know what I mean
Propane
I'll tell you what
I'll tell you what
I'll tell you what
Propane
If you wanna barbecue
I got the thing for you
Propane
Put into your car
It will take you far
Propane
I'll tell you what
I'll tell you what
I'll tell you what
Propane
You should give it a try
Don't let it pass you by
Propane
Let's go to the lobby
Wait what the... OH MY GOD BOBBY!
Propane
I'll tell you what
I'll tell you what
I'll tell you what

One Tear!
I lay in bed at night thinking of you and have one tear.
Other nights I drown you out with a couple of beer.
Sometimes I feel helpless and full of fear.
Wondering how and why we are all here.
Maybe some day everything will be clear.
Maybe some day I'll be full of cheer.
Maybe some day I won't need a beer.
Till then I lay in bed with one tear.
I Wake Up!
I'm walking down the street and I see this girl, who catches my eye
She's so beautiful in that red dress and looks so fine, that's no lie
I smile and say hi, as she walks by I can smell her perfoom
It's intoxicating, smells like roses just beginning to bloom
She turns around and says hey, how are you today
I freak inside and think what the hell do I say
I say hey, my names Jay, what are you up to today
She says not much just coming from work, had a rough day
We talk for a bit and I'm just like wow, this is happening to me
Got her phone number and said good day, this is too good to be
Chorus
I wake up it was only a dream
I lay in bed wanting to scream
Don't want to wake up
Don't want to get up
I just want to sleep in bed all day
Cause I figure it's the only way
Going to work having it real bad after that night
Wondering why it felt so real and felt so right
I tell my friend at work the dream I had and he laughed
Holding back my anger and the will to not kick him in his shaft
I serve all the customers with a fake smile and pretend grin
Hoping my day gets better and work goes by why can't I win
On the way home I buy my tickets for the lottery
I would have a better chance molding pottery
I go to work the next day and check the tickets to my surprise
I friggen won, holy crap, quit my job and fell down with tears in my eyes
Chorus
I wake up it was only a dream
I lay in bed wanting to scream
Don't want to wake up
Don't want to get up
I just want to sleep in bed all day
Cause I figure it's the only way
Wow! Two dreams in a row, two, I can't believe this
Will I ever be happy, will I ever get granted my wish
Not letting it bother me I go to work and finish off early
Walking home this limo stops, man gets out his hairs curly
He says hey bud seen you on youtube you are great
He says come with me and we can discuss on a date
I said date, he said I mean a date to start you on your way
I said way to what, he said to make you and get you your day
Make me, he said ya make you known and start your fame
I thought ya right this is a dream, ok Jay wake up, how lame
Chorus
I wake up it was only a dream
I lay in bed wanting to scream
Don't want to wake up
Don't want to get up
I just want to sleep in bed all day
Cause I figure it's the only way
Falling In Love!
Falling in love is hard it's no easy task.
Sometimes you fall for someone wearing a mask.
They'll take your soul and steal your heart.
The'll make you crumble and fall apart.
They play with your head and your emotions too.
You feel so empty and don't know what to do.
You wonder how someone could be so heartless and cruel.
You feel so weak and used and feel like a fool.
Drowning In Myself!
Some days I feel so alone it seems like I can't breathe
I feel like I'm mourning my own death, I have so much grief
I wake up hoping to go back to sleep and never to awake
I see the world for what it is and most of it is fake
I know I can't change the world and make it better
I thought I could but GOD did not yet receive my letter
Why are we hear and where do we go
People think they have the answers but even GOD don't know
It's a nice fairytale and I understand why people believe
I live in reality though and don't live in make belief
Did evolution happen will we die in 2012 so it's written
Just cause scientists say so don't mean it's hidden
Maybe we are suppose to believe in all this bullshit just so we believe in something
Maybe were suppose to get married, even though half fail and remove their ring
I don't have the answers, no one does even though they say they do
You know who else could have been GOD? Winnie The Pooh
I know it's crazy to think a bear could be a GOD
Just like it's crazy two people made the world, what a fraud
Now you're wondering as you read, WTF does this have to do with drowning
I don't know either I guess I was just clowning
I feel like I'm trying to get up for some air but someone is holding me down
I punch and move and fight for the air screaming but there is no sound
Why is no one helping me? Why is no one trying to save me? No one is around
So I stop screaming, stop moving and stop fighting. I just let myself drown
Depression!
Depression is dark and disgusting. Makes you feel weak and hopeless. You're always tired but can't sleep. You're always awake but you never get up. Holds you down like a bully on the playground. Tells you you're pathetic and such a loser. Puts you down like an alcoholic puts down a beer. You can never get over your fears. The past haunts you like Casper haunts that old house. You try your best to take deep breaths but find yourself gasping for air. It seems like nothing good happens for you and when it does you're ready for the worst to come soon after. You feel like your climbing a never ending flight of stairs. You just want to give up and call it a day. You feel so empty inside and worthless. You feel like someone is taking your head and holding you under water. Each day you try to be better and try to get up but you just feel like there's no point. You think too much about stupid little things and too much about things that you can't control or do anything about. You feel the whole world is against you and no one really cares. If you died tomorrow you wouldn't care because you feel death would be a blessing sometimes. You try everyday to smile but can't even crack a grin. People don't know how sad you are because you try and hide it. Why should anyone care anyway. They got their own problems. You feel you don't matter and your existence is pointless. When the sunshine is bright and beautiful. The trees are a dark pretty green. The ocean is a light perfect glass blue. The breeze is cooler than Chuck Norris. Wait nothing is cooler than Chuck Norris. The scenery is gorgeous and perfect. All someone sees when they have a pretty severe depression is the sun is too bright and annoying. What trees. The ocean is polluted and diseased. The air is toxic and gross. The scenery is full of horrible people and horrible things.
Darkness!
I go to sleep hoping to wake to happiness.
What I get is a reality which is sadness.
Life is what you make it.
Live life in my shoes and take it.
So sick of everyone saying be better.
Slitting my wrists I don't whatever.
If you felt my pain.
You'd go insane.
