13  Better Be Careful

better be careful boy
she’s gonna tear you down again

she may look like heaven in high heels
but she’s gonna hurt you like hell

not sure who you think your fooling
with all your midnight boozing
it still won’t make her care

‘cause she may look like heaven 
in her high heels
but she’s gonna hurt you like hell

she tucks you right back on down in
14  Why Always

why do i always
why do i always

and everytime you go away
and now everytime you go away
our time will let you go

go away
away
15  Unfamiliar You

the unfamiliar you
staring back at me
wondering what you’re doing to yourself
i am right here next to you
i will not adjust my attitude
or change my point of view

just ‘cause you’re through
doesn’t mean that life owes you
‘cause what you lack is all you lust
yet i still can’t seem to just make do

don’t let them take it all away
just ‘cause you grow up in a suburb
doesn’t mean you don’t know pain
or can’t experience the struggle of sorrow
or feel the burden 
of knowing your own shame

don’t claim to be different
just know it’s not the same
have we all forgotten what it feels like
to be ashamed?

just ‘cause you’re through
doesn’t mean that life owes you
‘cause what you lack is all you lust
yet i still can’t seem to just make do

in a town where everyone’s
trying to make it
i’m just trying to make it through the day
don’t fabricate it
reach back define your own point of view
try and remember where you left it
think hard to not forget it
16  Only Son

we need to be rescued
from our own sanity
to slow down the news feed
and take time to receive

instead of posting your status
try taking a walk
and really take in this journey 
before it’s all gone

my only son
what have you done?
so much pain in the world
yet why can’t i cry
when i see my own blood line dying?

no more baseball cards in spokes
guess we were the last one’s in on the joke
sorry to leave you with the roadways all choked
by the greed that they smoked
wish i could say we didn’t see it coming
all the red tape to sift through

please stop domesticating our youth
they weren’t here to remember
what it is your taking away
there’s some justice
in being able to use your hands
for more than typing on a keyboard

we need to want to know more
than just our friends 140 character feeds

if you’re lost in the world
when you’re lost in the world
know that you’re lost in the world
and that you can do better
well you can do better
find a way into you
find a way into something
or something else will find a way

we all fall down
but standing up again
defines the mice from men
17  Stay Away

lowering with every day
hiding in the macro may
the ties that bind you

smile and look the other way
while stealing all our souls away
they’ve already found you

rising through the lidocaine
connections lost it’s all a same
until the person in the wrong is you
then suddenly it’s not okay 
to reach beyond the fantasy
so for now i’ll just 

stay away
stay away

she had so many favorites
there were none left for me
and that place that your running
will it ever find a face?

what modern sense of normalcy
is this social network fallacy?
so for now i think i’ll just 

stay away
stay away

rising through the lidocaine
connections lost it’s all a same
until the person in the wrong is you

then suddenly it’s not okay 
to reach beyond the fantasy
so for now i’ll just 

stay away
stay away
18  I Never Knew

i never knew which way to find you
i never knew which way to turn
to see the way in which the angle
so that the fire inside would burn

if you ever need a favor
if you ever need a friend
don’t look in my direction
‘cause all you’ll see
is the back of my head

‘cause i don’t see a need no more
danger in making you cry
so i’m gonna let go of this anger
and learn to keep it all inside

i don’t care if it makes me lonely
only care that what we have is real
don’t care which way we make it
wanna remember what it means to feel

i never knew
i never knew
i never knew
i never knew it wasn’t you

whenever i feeling the word anger
i’m just gonna picture 
your pretty little head

i never knew
i never knew
i never knew
i never knew it wasn’t you

i know the pill maybe hard to swallow
but the truth hurts too much to care
shame on us for feeling so entitled
confusing lack in luster with despair
