Hello sir, I hope you're ok?
And not taking our parade the wrong way
It's not here to make you feel awkward
Its not here to make you feel mad
It's here to build bridges, teach lessons
It's not here to make you feel sad
No shoving of agendas down throats, no loving the guise of showboats
If being proud of who you are is extreme, then listen to me while I scream
We are who we are, no one can take that away
If you have a problem with bi, trans or gay, or any other way
Review your discriminate feelings and get with the times
We're not here to change you or yours, just to be me and mine
We are who we are

Why can't life just be simple
Meet someone settle down
Not have to worry what others think
Not have to worry about the town
That you grew up in, found your voice
The place that no longer makes you frown
I'm sick of all these curt apologies
Let's find a queen for this crown
I'm tired of worrying about my life
And all the stupid things I've said
It's time to let go of the past
And make some memories that will last
Experience I am lacking
Enthusiasm I am not
When it comes to matters of the heart
I have never been too hot
They say you'll know it when it happens
I think they've all lost the plot
Cause all I see is lonely back and forth
And not a penny for your thoughts
I'm tired of worrying about my life
And all the stupid things I've said
It's time to let go of the past
And make some memories that will last
Maybe life wouldn't be so hard
If I weren't so serious
I'm tired of worrying about my life
Maybe life wouldn't be so hard
And all the stupid things I've said
If I weren't so serious
It's time to let go of the past
And give myself a little love
And make some memories that will last

Here...Me
01:25
|
|

|
Here, I present a list of things I don't like about myself
My sense of justice and the way that it hurts me
My selfishness
My lack of self respect
I love too much
Until I don't
My inability to look you in the eye
Because I'm standing on the outside
My overwhelming sense of empathy
Except when it is lacking
My lack of drive, closely followed by my inability to stop
My indifference in the differences between out points of view
I can't always help you when you need me
I overthink to nth degree and then I think some more
Me

I catch my reflection in the mirror and I wonder
Will I ever be happy
I catch your scent on the edge of my nose and I ponder
God only knows
Is there any point to this thinking
I don't know
And will it ease my mind
Oh no
If I had a badge for every time I overthought this shit I would be covered
I would be covered
I'd have beat the elite four and I'd have caught them all, I'd be the master
I'd be the master
On that point of being happy, I wonder
If I can love me
On the point where I pondered, I wonder
If god only knows
If I had a badge for every time I overthought this shit I would be covered
I would be covered
I'd have beat the elite four and I'd have caught them all, I'd be the master
I'd be the master
If I had a badge for every time I overthought this shit I would be covered
I would be covered
I'd have beat the elite four and I'd have caught them all, I'd be the master
I'd be the master

More Human

Tell me
That you love me
And you need me
In your life
Because I have
Never loved me
And I want someone to do it for me
I'll treasure
The feeling
Keep it safe down here inside my heart
Perhaps one day
I can see through
My imperfections
And accept me
I'm learning to love myself
But it takes time
Progressing slowly
But I'm starting to feel more human
I don't give myself any credit
Any compliment feels undeserved
My music is my voice
But my voice feels like it should be silenced
The pressure it's compounding
Can I turn it into a diamond
I'm learning to love myself
But it takes time
Progressing slowly
But I'm starting to feel more human
I'm learning to love myself
But it takes time
Progressing slowly
But I'm starting to feel more
Hoping I'll feel more
Please can I feel more human

Doesn't Get Me Either
04:22
|

I have never been the most experienced, at letting people know how I feel
I have never been any good at picking up what others want me to hear
Something I need you to know, is that social situations can drag me down
And if I don't say hi it's nothing personal, just personally I'm burnt out and tired
Well life has come to this, where writing a song can give me some sense of bliss
In a world I don't really understand and I'm convinced, doesn't get me either
It occurred to me just recently, that my social skills may set me back in life
I stumble when I talk and I forget to ask how life is treating you
I see you over there but I just cant, bring myself to take the time to pry
So I hide myself away and make pretend that this is right I am doing fine
Well life has come to this, where writing a song can give me some sense of bliss
In a world I don't really understand and I'm convinced, doesn't get me either
Well life has come to this, where writing a song can give me some sense of bliss
In a world I don't really understand and I'm convinced, doesn't get me either
Well life has come to this, where writing a song can give me some sense of bliss
In a world I don't really understand and I'm convinced, doesn't get me either
