Momma Told Me
03:38
|

Once upon a time but not to long ago
I fell for that smile but had to say no
mama told me bout your kind
a bad boy with a sort of charm
but you ain't got this girl not this time
and once upon a time we'll call it yesterday
you came a strollin by like a rico suave
you said a hey you wanna get with me
i said no youre not my kind
no youre not worth my time
Day two you came along, looking pretty fine,
I shouldn't be thinkin what i'm thinkin but it's on my mind
mama told me bout your kind
a bad boy with a sort of charm
but before i know it there i am leanin on your arm

Slaughterhouse

We're all nothing but a bunch of fish in a tank
Packaged, processed in a life premade
God help us if the man don't feed us!
Packaged, Processed and ready to be slain
You don't know it, unless you try it,
You can't be it, unless you buy it,
So how could we then escape through the man?
People of wicked nature and bad intent
are drawn to power like flies to manure
How could a man with honor and respect
Have integrity so obscure?
But save the king and save the queen
but could their money and things buy back their spiritual being?
So why do we scream, God save the queen?

Dirty Lies
03:18
|
|||
Its 2 a.m. and I just can't sleep,
I toss and turn but I just can't sleep,
Your name keeps runnin across my mind,
All these thoughts I try to push behind,
I remember, I remember,
I remember those eyes,
I remember, I remember,
I remember those lies,
Your breakin my heart,
We coulda been on top of the world,
You and me together unstoppable,
but you went and left me for my ex-best friend,
and for some reason I don't want us to end,
I remember, I remember,
I remember those eyes,
I remember, I remember,
I remember those lies,
Your breakin my heart,
Your just a bad boy,
with your dirty little lies,
Your just a bad boy,
with a damn good disguise,
I remember, I remember,
I remember those eyes,
I remember, I remember,
I remember those lies,
Your breakin my heart,

Learn to Fly
03:12
|
|||
Just trying to be a simple man in these crazy times,
God knows it can't be this hard to learn how to fly,
Looking out my window i see a world all awry,
with people learning to fly and people only learning to die,
Learn to fly
The man can't catch you if you live a life on the road,
commit to the worlds ways or die alone,
Second thought is to do what you know is right,
Since our beginnings we're only taught to fight,
be ready to fight
(Looking at a world such as ours,
Its a lie that happiness is ours,
Maybe we'll never know, and maybe its not our right,
To learn, how to fly)
maybe we're all just part of the problem
Cooperating in a giant problem,
Gears in the transmission,
in our ongoing mission
to support the affliction
I just wanna fly
I just wanna fly

How to Pack a Suitcase
03:53
|
|||
a one way ticket to the next town
flying this plane down to the ground
You, me and the holy ghost,
one more drink, one more toast
To appreciate air, hold your breath
To appreciate life, live your death
To love what you hate, you must hate what you love
And to keep your sanity you've gotta overcome
My mind is full of useless debris,(you're not who you used to be)
from who I loved and who left me,(don't keep your heart under lock and key)
My mind is running out of space
Can you teach me How to Pack a Suitcase,
Don't forget your socks or shoes
Never stay out past your curfew
You can't always keep those stains unseen
Everyone's dirty laundry must come clean
My mind is full of useless debris,(you're not who you used to be)
from who I loved and who left me,(don't keep your heart under lock and key)
My mind is running out of space
Can you teach me How to Pack a Suitcase,

My Apology
03:11
|
|||
Its a cold restless night,
Love letter in my heart,
If I stay or walk away,
I'll still fall apart,
Its time to make a stand,
Finally my chance to let go fo your hand,
There once was a time for us,
where we used to place our trust,
where nothing really matter,
where our thought were always scattered,
now I need time for me,
but before I go,
Here's my Apology
Streets are covered with snow,
but the stars still seem to glow
breathe in, breathe out,
Not a chance for any doubt,
back on the road,
Who knows where it goes?
There once was a time for us,
where we used to place our trust,
where nothing really matter,
where our thought were always scattered,
now I need time for me,
but before I go,
Here's my Apology

Unwritten
03:36
|
|||
I've never been the type to fall in love
but somewhere in the middle i got lost in this song,
so now i don't know whether to turn left or right
hold on to your seat, whoa, hold on real tight,
I never knew what I wanted,
Let alone what I need,
Don't even know how to tell you how I feel,
This is my life, Unwritten.
My father was a salesman, my mother a wife,
good people indeed, but then you get me,
I'm no doctor, nor a scientist
simply a disaster waiting to be untied

Temptation
04:19
|
|||
Baby, when you hold me tight
I said baby, when you hold me tight,
it feels so right,
But you are my temptation,
and you are my, sin,
Baby you know I'd fight for you,
I said baby you know I'd fight for you,
But I can't fight for us
Cause You are my temptation
(Baby you know I'd fight for you)
(Baby you know I'd fight for us too!)
And you are my sin
(Ah, you've made me wait too long)
(You got me singin, singin, singin, singing, the same old song)
You're my temptation
Baby you know I love,
I said baby you I love you,
Yeah, you know its true
Cause You are my temptation
(Baby you know I'd fight for you)
(Baby you know I'd fight for us too!)
And you are my sin
(Ah, you've made me wait too long)
(You got me singin, singin, singin, singing, the same old song)
You're my Temptation
