During my childhood full of strife
I never thought I’d live to love my life
From all the let downs that I had
I swore I’d never turn out like my dad
My first day of school I ran away
If stubborn was assessed I’d get an A
I was an angry little boy
Set to self-destruct as he grows
Who no one would have known
Would get to sixteen and meet a girl
I knew that I would marry her
despite what her father said cause of his reservations
I’d burn the past and change my life
I had to have her as my wife
Her father didn’t like my plan
and I can’t say that I blame him at all
I nearly died in 85’ my brother risked his life to save mine
But when he died in 93’ it lead me to a place of darkness
And no one would have guessed
I’d get to sixteen and meet a girl
I knew that I would marry her
despite what her father said cause of his reservations
I’d burn the past and change my life
I had to have her as my wife
Her father didn’t like my plan
but I can’t say that I blame him at all
I can’t say that I blame him at all
You’re just so pretty when you’re mad
But sometimes I overwind you just a tad
Like when I shrunk your woollen top
in the dryer with rest of your clothes
I’m learning as I go
I’ve known from sixteen about the girl
who loved me by some miracle
then chose to marry me
I’m sure it’s no vacation
I’ve proved to never let her down
Her father slowly came around
Initially he was wary
Cause it sure looked liked my life would derail
But I live to tell the tale
I got to sixteen
I got to sixteen
I got to sixteen
I got to sixteen
Now you understand what I mean
I never thought I’d live past sixteen

My Head Is A Toaster

There’s a warm, safe place that your smile can take me to
There’s a look in your eyes makes me feel brand new
The way you wear that safety gear is beautiful
But it’s destiny we fight today
My head is a toaster
I long for the day you call me friend
I feel so below you
I’m hanging from chains as you smash my head
It’s the price of love
Before you throw that punch will you even hesitate?
Do you feel the pain my heart anticipates?
If I had my way we would be something great
But it’s destiny we fight today
My head is a toaster
I long for the day we’re more than friends
I reach out to hold you
Your smashing my face with a glove on a stick
It’s the price of love
It’s the price of love

I can’t take this anymore
It’s like I’ve locked myself in a civil war
I’m tired from drought between the rains
I can’t get this poison out of my veins
몸이안 좋아요
Sometimes I find myself so down
I tire from time to time but I come back around
The only happiness I’ve found
You have your faith in me and I won’t let you down
I am looking at the view from the only window I ever knew
Am I cursed or in a phase
Where is the consistency my body craves?
몸이안 좋아요
Sometimes I find myself so down
I tire from time to time but I come back around
The only happiness I’ve found
You have your faith in me and I won’t let you down
Is there faith to believe it?
Will you speak to receive it?
Time is running out
Here it comes can you see it?
If you choose you can leave it
Bury any doubt
몸이안 좋아요
Sometimes I find myself so down
I tire from time to time but I come back around
The only happiness I’ve found
You have your faith in me and I won’t let
I won’t let
I won’t let you down

You depend on me anyone can see this
When you’re brought to tears I will be beside you
Call on me
Call on me
I’m gunna need time to believe this
I’m gunna need time to forgive myself
I’m gunna need time for healing
It's gunna take time and that's time that I don’t have
You can call on me if you ever need me
I can promise you I would never leave you
Call on me
Call on me
I’m gunna need time to believe this
I’m gunna need time to forgive myself
I’m gunna need time for healing
It's gunna take time and that's time that I don’t have
It's gunna take time and that's time that I don’t have

Escaping The Well

I woke to the rain and I found myself cold
In a shadow of my former self
Alone
As I rose to my height with my intention made known
In respect I paused for what’s ahead
What will today hold?
I will seek the truth cause I’m sick of the lies
I will run to you cause my heart’s terrified
Would you forgive everything that has past so I can live?
My faith is in you
My faith is in you
I will seek the truth cause I’m sick of the lies
I will run to you cause my heart’s terrified
Would you forgive everything that has past so I can live?
My faith is in you
My faith is in you
My faith is in you
You alone
My faith is in you
You alone
My faith is in you
Hear me now and lead me to I’ve never been
Cut these chains of misery
Open up the floodgates
It's time to sink or swim
There is hope inside of me
I will seek the truth cause I’m sick of the lies
I will run to you cause my heart’s terrified
Would you forgive everything that has past so I can live?
My faith is in you
You alone
My faith is in you
You alone
