Maureen Maureen I’m with you darlin. You’re lost at sea
I wanna help you find your way back.
To get close to you and me.
Chorus:
Wait. How long can you wait.
I’m just a middle class lower class hero
Fighting for our right to be.
What’s on my mind is how my mind is on my mind.
It’s hard to find myself in me.
chorus:
Wait, how long can you wait.. 8x

Medicine for the dead
Buying time stand in line
Dumb it down feed it fast
Dig it up and let it die
What do we do about it
Where do we go from here
What do we do about it
How can we bring it back
Bring it up make it work
Sever ties for what it's worth
Fuck it all when you’re down
Beat it up and take the crown
What do we do about it
Where do we go from here
What do we do about it
How can we bring it back.

Loosen up my grip on heavy conversation with strangers.
I’m working way too hard to prove to you that I’m right
Chorus:
My dear friend I think you’re wrong
I’m patient on the phone when emotion can’t be seen on my face.
Histories repeating to decimate the future of our young.
Chorus:
My dear friend I think you’re wrong

Serious and cold
I’m out here digging holes
There’s no agenda here, just hope with an anchor.
Whatever you have read, it’s weighing on my head
Leave me alone
I’ve got nowhere to go
Leave me alone
I’ve got nowhere to go
Out for a fight
Somethings just not right
From a rear view mirror, when nobodies watching.
Whatever you have read, it’s weighing on my head.
Leave me alone
I’ve got nowhere to go
Leave me alone
I’ve got nowhere to go
You can overstay, but I won’t tell you a thing.
Leave me alone

What can you do when your down
Just pick yourself up, from the ground
It might sound hard, impossible until you try..
Miles away from the heart that’s floating away from you.
I love the way that you are
The way that you were
The way that you could be
How will you handle the change
I don’t want to stay, unless you refrain...who you are.
I left your room to give you some time.
I knew it was you who ruined our lives.
I love the way that you are
The way that you were
The way that you could be

Worry for nothing yet something keeps pushing
The wedge in the door.
Life is living if living is life that I adore.
Draw the line
Walk the line
Believe in taking chances
Draw the line
Walk the line
Even if it means standing alone.
Charging the tiger before its too late
courageous and free.
Knock down the pieces that stand in my way
I won’t let me down.
There is something to be said for losing it
At a time when I need it most.
The thicker the skin the more I can win.
The armor let’s me run right through.

You might be sad but I’m the one in pain
Fighting for something that means nothing
Forever I stand to make amends
I don’t wanna do it over again.
This is where it ends 2x
Chorus:
I won’t last forever in this world of control
I can’t stay forever in a country I once knew.
The master withholds to do what you’re told
What will be left of the life you know?
Inherit the ignorance on to your young
There are many more chances to get it wrong.
I won’t last forever in this world of control
I can’t last forever in a country I once knew.

I won’t win this fight alone
I can’t love where I don’t belong. .
Roof top rambling against a cold wind.
I’m shivering and unprepared again.
A fist fight with my thought alarm
I wasn’t asking to take it this far
Who cares if I never get caught
I wasn’t raised to break the law.
Hold tight when the ropes are lose
Thick smoke hides the truth
I can’t say I’ve done enough for you.
With everything you’re going through.
I NEED MORE
YOU NEED MORE
Warm hands behind my neck
I never thought you were coming back
Sometimes the dream comes true
Its always added up to you.
Fist full of rocks in my hand
Gripped hard they turn to sand.
It might never happen again
I won’t close my eyes again.
Flashlight inside my mouth
Making jokes and laughing out loud
Falling off the chair in pain
From the smile on your face.
I NEED MORE
YOU NEED MORE

I’m happier being dumb
My brain is always numb
I bring a knife to a gun fight
I wouldn’t know if I died.
Chorus:
My head always gets in the way 3x
Animals are smarter than the average American 4x
I wanna use my rights
To waste everyone’s time
I don’t want to understand
Just wanna screw up your plans.
Chorus:
My head always gets in the way 3x
Animals are smarter than the average American 8x

I found a better half of me in you.
Don’t let me ruin it for all and face the news.
The bright light blinds my view and forces me to crash
I’m sorry
Words hurt but nothing to compare against the bruise.
My hands are stained with the blood of what I choose.
I won’t last very long if I’m burning at both ends.
I’m sorry.
Call me an overbearing jerk if it serves you
I won’t let it take me very long to prove to you
Why I screwed up and ripped away all my chances
I’m sorry
