I just wanna feel Something real I don't really give a damn Bout anything but that I just wanna live Oh I wanna give Everything to something bigger Than my stupid self I just wanna know And I wanna go To somewhere better I don't really know I wanna scream And I wanna cry If I give up Before the day I die I don't give a damn If I mess up I just wanna drink it all And then refill my cup I just wanna dream While I'm awake I just wanna take a breath And give myself a break I just wanna know And I wanna go To somewhere better I don't really know I just wanna scream And I wanna cry If I give up Before the day I die AHHH I don't give a damn What you might think I'm living my life how I want Now let me link I don't give a damn What you might think I'm living my life how I want Now let me link I just wanna know And I wanna go To somewhere better I don't really know I just wanna scream And I wanna cry If I give up Before the day I DIE

I got nothing to tell you honey I got nothing to show The very fact that I'm standing here Should let you know I'm more than enough now baby I'm everything From the circles of Hell To where the angels sing I got nothing to prove I got nothing to lose Could I be here could I be there I'm really everywhere You can tap into me if you dare I'm as high as the sky now baby I'm as deep as the sea I'm the shift in your mindset That will set you free I've been here forever baby And forever I'll be Now you know that I am you And you are me I got nothing to prove I got nothing to lose Could I be here could I be there I'm really everywhere You can tap into me if you dare Could I be here could I be there I'm really everywhere You can tap into me if you dare

We Won 04:10
This is the beginning Our world is waking up They cannot continue We had to interrupt So do not believe in The hype and all the fear We have them surrounded They know the end is near For all is done The devil's on the run Hold fast and know We won We won They hid in the shadows And they pulled all the strings Now we are untethered This is how freedom rings Defy and empower I am your fellow man Now it is the hour Oh will you lend a hand For all is done The devil's on the run Hold fast and know We won We won For all is done The devil's on the run Hold fast and know We won We won We won We won

Hold Me Down 04:21
Oh Lord Help me Walk straight To Thee They try So hard To break My guard And no they won't hold me down I'm moving to higher ground, cmon! Don't fear Don't hide Cuz I'm on Your side Stand tall And be proud Say it aloud And no they won't hold me down I'm moving to higher ground, cmon! And no they won't hold me down I'm moving to higher ground And no they won't hold me down I'm moving to higher ground

I WANT MORE 03:13
Get up and get moving and give it all you got Keep fighting, keep pushing, until you hit the spot Get angry, get nasty, and make em know your name The way to the top is loving all the pain Cuz every time they knock me down I'm back up on my feet Smiling at my adversary blood between my teeth Is that all you got? Oh I want more Is that all you got? Oh I want more more more more You're luck to be here fighting for your life You're something from nothing trying to get it right You'll fail and falter time and time again But if you can love it that's how you're gonna win Cuz every time they knock me down I'm back up on my feet Smiling at my adversary blood between my teeth Is that all you got? Oh I want more Is that all you got? Oh I want more more more There's nothing like the feeling of defying all the odds The beauty in the struggle is beloved by the gods Is that all you got? Oh I want more Is that all you got? Oh I want more more more more More more more more More more more more MORE I want more

Everyone's searching so damn hard For all of the answers, I disregard Turn down the lights and keep them low It's better for dancing honey, if you never know I don't really wanna know Let it be and let it go I don't really wanna see What's behind the mystery, mystery Now we were not meant to figure it all out Like some ultimate meaning just to end our doubts Don't be so quick to prove you're right The truth is beyond us man its out of sight I don't really wanna know Let it be and let it go I don't really wanna see What's behind the mystery, mystery What's behind the mystery What's behind the mystery What's behind the mystery What's behind the mystery I don't really wanna know Let it be and let it go I don't really wanna see What's behind the mystery, mystery I don't really wanna know Let it be and let it go I don't really wanna see What's behind the mystery, mystery

Don’t you be so hard on the old guard They’re as lost as you Don’t you be so cruel to the seeming fool Teach’em something new Try to let it slide swallow up your pride It really ain’t that deep Lighten up a bit fore you throw a fit Baby go to sleep All I could ever do Try another point of view All we should understand Everyone is just doing the best they can Everybody tries just to get by Let them be on their way No one really knows the right way to go The right thing to say So just take a breath you don’t have to stress Maybe give yourself some grace No matter where you are baby near or far It’s the perfect place All I could ever do Try another point of view All we should understand Everyone is just doing the best they can Oh no I can’t let you go for what you’ve done to me This time I’m a get mine, its the only way All I could ever do Try another point of view All we should understand Everyone is just doing the best they can

David 04:24
The rain kept pouring down for weeks after you left I held your hand and watched you try to catch your breath We said goodbye with a peace sign and just a nod Then late that night you left this world to meet your God Oh David We all miss you We wish you’d play one more song Oh David We all love you You’re never really gone We’d smoke a j in your garage and shoot the shit Listen to vinyl call my dad then one more hit We’d jam and sing and play guitar but not too loud Then hit the road so damn hungry for In and Out Oh David We all miss you We wish you’d play one more song Oh David We all love you You’re never really gone I sit alone and sing for you on your guitar And in this moment I do wonder where you are Could you be far away or are you everywhere Wherever you may be, one day I’ll meet you there Oh David We all miss you We wish you’d play one more song Oh David We all love you You’re never really gone David oh, you’re never really gone David oh, you’re never really gone You’re never gone You’re never really gone You’re never really gone You’re never really *David Voicemail Recording*
