Copacetic / Smiling face
Incompetent / Lacking grace
Play the part of / Savior
But you're really / A bumbling fool
From day one you were a mess
Four months later, can't address
Problems from before my time
Sick of all this on my dime
You can't do a simple task
Your smiling face is a mask
If there were one thing I'd ask
Leave this business, run real fast
Say you'll fix it / But you don't
Say you will help / But you won't
Environment / Left to waste
Interactions leave a / Bitter taste
When you try to help you only leave a mess
When you run in circles you don't impress
You can't do a simple task
Your smiling face is a mask
If there were one thing I'd ask
Leave this business, run real fast
All you cause is discomfort
When called out you throw a fit
Dishonest you run your practice
Illegitimate is it

Moving on
Moving on, I'm
Moving on
Moving on
Time well spent with you
Set out on my own
You helped me to grow
But now I need more
Now I'm moving on
Now I'm moving on
I made connections
Found support systems
Developed my voice
Now I leave by choice
Now I'm moving on
Now I'm moving on
All that you have given me / I thank you
Helped me in my times of need / I thank you
I spent years with your support / I thank you
Now I've grown, and I need more / I thank you
Now I'm moving on

Moving

A chilling breeze blows through
The flattened landscape new
A flurry of snow falls
So bodies line the halls
Warmth comes from within
Come sit by the fire
Always moving
Never rest
Constant motion
Pushing forward
Active lives
Active minds
Warmth comes from within
Come sit by the fire
Always moving
Never rest

The Warmth
04:25

I find it is so different being here now
There is so much warmth
I couldn't tell you why
Life here is much less dark
Fall into this way
Makes me want to stay
When I think of how cold things were
I don't want to go back
I couldn't tell you why
Life here is much less dark
Fall into this way
Makes me want to stay
Fill up our hearts with the beauty
Catch all the stars that would fall
I find it is so different being here now
There is so much warmth

First Chance

There's only one chance to make a first impression
There's only one chance to make a first impression
There's only one chance to make a first impression
There's only one chance to make a first impression
Hundreds of miles crossed just to be here
Think about risks, but I refuse to fear
Thousands of dollars spent in this venture
Ask me to do it again, and I'm say "sure"
There's only one chance to make a first impression
And I won't waste any opportunities
Sometimes in life you get the chance to make a change
Now is the time for you to rearrange
This is the last chance to do things right
Will you take up the chance, will you fight?
There's only one chance to make a first impression
And I won't waste any opportunities
Take the chance to thrive
Spread your wings and fly

Light

Light of my life
You shine so bright
Light of my life
You shine so bright
When I feel down
Things aren't so bad
When you're around
Light of my life
You shine so bright
Light of my life
You shine so bright
When I feel stressed
And unprepared
I'll be okay
Because you care
Light of my life
You shine so bright
Light of my life
You shine so bright

Limbo
04:43
|
|||
|
Problems without a solution
Some things take more than preparation
Opportunities arise, and sometimes you get caught in the middle
Of some kind of mess
Keep your life from crumbling
Make the best from scrambling
Keep your life from crumbling
Make the best from scrambling
Stuck in limbo
Do all the right things / it's still not enough
Never predicted life would be so tough
Trying your hardest to make sure you're ready
And even then your life just isn't steady
Stock them up, save them, collect all your things
Just in the hope they will come in handy
Not worth so much that you'd trade them for rings
But if you're lucky you could get some candy
Keep your life from crumbling
Make the best from scrambling
Keep your life from crumbling
Make the best from scrambling
Stuck in limbo

Lull

It's been so long since I laid my head down
Done too much in too little time
Find myself more and more wanting
Just a chance to take a rest
Lull (take a break, take a rest)
Lull (take a break, take a rest)
I look back, and I see the pattern
Too many years I've felt this way
I need to make space and time for myself
So that I'm not tired all day
Lull (take a break, take a rest)
Lull (take a break, take a rest)

Come from so far
Working so hard
Just to be here
Just to be near
The journey's still going on
The journey's still going on
It was so hard
Being apart
Thought it would ease
Close to our needs
The journey's still going on
The journey's still going on
Come from so far
Just to be here
Come from so far
Just to be near
Come from so far
Just to be here
