Vs. 1:
How do you find answers
anywhere but inside?
I don't know how
but I've sincerely tried
Pre:
Many years
I've tried to find
the major answers
as to why
Why am I here?
Why do I die?
Why don't I know?
Why did you lie?
Why did I ever try
to be anything other than...I?
or me?
Chorus:
What am I supposed to do?
I feel a pull
am I crazy now through and through?
What am I 'spose to do?
(What am I 'spose to do?)
Am I crazy to try and get to you?
The one inside my dream
Do you hold the answers or a key?
Post:
What am I 'spose to do?
(What am I 'spose to do?)
What am I 'spose to do?
(What am I 'spose to do?)
Vs. 2:
I know...
The answer to why
is always because
Do you think I care
about technicalities and plus
Pre:
Some questions can't be answered
by the likes of you
The ones who always know best
and never allows the answers to shine through
Chorus:
What am I supposed to do?
I feel a pull
within this darkness and gloom
What am I 'spose to do?
(What am I 'spose to do?)
Post:
What am I 'spose to do?
When the answers I wish to know
are out of reach
cast down below
Bridge:
Under the surface
of my mind
out of reach
out of time
Do I follow
this red line
this pull I feel
is it a sign?
Am I fine
Am I alright?
I must follow
this light of mine
Chorus:
What am I supposed to do?
I feel a pull
am I crazy now through and through?
What am I 'spose to do?
(What am I 'spose to do?)
What am I 'spose to do?
(What am I 'spose to do?)
End (breakdown):
You are me and I am you
Together we will make it through
I am you and you are me
Together we make dreams a reality
You know what you have to do
I know what we are supposed to do
You can't escape this
this is fate
you are me
and I am you
this is what we are meant to do.
Verse 1:
We talk
You stop
We talk
You drop
Where do you go
I'd like to know
Yet I never ask
Will this even last?
Pre:
I'm in a loop again
I gotta stop playing pretend
Chorus:
Round and round and round I go
Following your trail
Where ever it goes
Down the drain
Playing your game
Why you may ask
Because I'm insane
Post:
I'm addicted to you
Your attention's like glue
I'm addicted to you
But this feeling's not new
Round and round and round I go
spiraling out as I lose control
Verse 2:
Do you care
Or do you not
Don't lie to me
To further your plot
You're not funny when you're sly
I guess you're just some funny guy
Pre:
I'm in a loop again
I will stop with this pretend
Chorus:
Round and round and round I go
Following your trail
Where ever it goes
Down the drain
Playing your game
Why you may ask
Because I'm insane
Post:
That's all there is to it
Bridge:
Why can't this just stop
I gotta get a grip
And move more for me
I can't fall for this red dress
Like in the movies
I gotta let go of you
And circle round to my debut
Chorus:
Round and round and round I go
Following your trail
Where ever it goes
Down the drain
Playing your game
Why you may ask
Because I'm insane
Round and round and round I go
Vs1:
Inject that shit into my veins
And with it, I'm riding the high wave
Coffee is the right way
The best way
My high way
Vs2.
I Get it, it's an addiction
But without it, I'd be bitchen
It brings out my game face
That coffee sets my pace
Makes my life fun to chase (aye)
Chorus:
Life's too hard
To not have a vice
To not put a price
On just coping with life
Don't pretend
No one's perfect
It's really not worth it
We all got some shit
To get through and fix
So pour one out for me
And let's hear it for fxxxen coffee
Bridge:
Everyone's got problems (day by day)
Some things just make it better (and that's my favorite way)
Don't judge me for my vice (it's the price I pay)
Don't judge a person for their life (just turn and walk away)

Vs1:
Pour me a glass of you
Get me so high
You obstruct my view
Because what we have ain't new
But it's aged into
something priceless
something timeless
I can't even write this into words
so instead just let me burn
with this buzz of you
and yet you are now...
Chorus:
So far away
How can you not stay
Close to my heart
Don't do me this way
How can I be clear
That I need you right here
So far away
So far away
I need you to stay
Don't walk away
Vs.2:
So many years
together
you told me it was
forever
but here we are
alone
so far away
without a home
without a place to go
your heart was my castle
so... where do I go?
Bridge:
So far away
I need you to stay
Don't walk away
Don't leave me this way
Vs1
From this passenger seat
all I see is white
A canvas left for color and shapes
but the painter must be on strike
Pre
It's so unnerving and scary to start
What if I mess up and fail my part
Chorus
How do I begin
To color my world
To make it my own
And have something to show
How do I begin
How do I start
How do I begin
To color in my art
Vs2
I know that starting
Is the hardest part
A blank canvas is daunting
With so many choices to choose
How do I paint whats on my heart
Pre
colors of crimson hue
golden arches and navy blue
Bridge
I'm sorry for taking so long
For taking my time
Before answering my call
But I'm here now
And I'm willing to stay
With you here
Forever and always
Vs1
How much longer will my heart ache for you
and break for you
How much longer...
How much longer
How much longer will I wish for you?
To tell me who...
You wanted to be.
Who you wished for me to be.
Pre
I wanted to pull through
For you
I wanted to make room
For us too
I stretched out my heart
I did my part
To have you
Move in too
Chorus
My heart breaks for you
My head aches for you
How much longer will this take?
How much more will I break?
Post
How much
How much
Vs2
How much longer will this take?
How much longer?
How much longer?
I need to know.
I just need to go...
Bridge
So many nights I spent
Piecing together what you left
Connecting it all with red thread
Trying to fit the reason in my head
But it doesn't matter anymore
Because you're already out the door
So just give me a piece of mind
How much longer will you be in my life
end
I'm sorry, but I cant see you ever again

I have been writing songs and lyrics since I was a child. But I promise, the songs I write now are far better than the ones I wrote back then. Although, I guess the only way to find out if that is true or not is to go ahead and take a look at what I have so far. I hope you find a line that sticks with you.
Also, I am always up for a collaboration, so just reach out to me if you are interested!
Who knows, serendipity works in mysterious ways.
