Life Is Not a Dress Rehearsal 02:50
lyrics
He said, "I gotta get outta here, I'm breaking down and I'm losing my mind. I've got nothing left." This is my time to change my life, we fall asleep each night Dreaming of what might be We spend our hours planning Out our days This is my time I'm moving on But just enough for me to write This song Only to return to reality Maybe I'm just meant for this CHORUS These things never seem to work out for me But I wouldn't change them for anything Some days never seem to end for me but I wouldn't change them for anything I'm so happy to be just who I am This is my time to move along I'm not just a boring song I'm counting my hours Count my days Nine to five, I think I'm out of time Back and forth - up and down I swear that I'm not really like this Maybe I'm just wearing thin I'm sick of this fucking town Full of fair-weather friends And die-hard acquaintances Saying, "maybe someday we'll leave this place. What do you say?" CHORUS Tell all my friends I swear I'm leaving this time I know you don't believe me But we'll be tighter when I come back around

The Cost of Living 02:24
lyrics
This number game is too complicated It leaves broke and uneducated All the while we strive for ground Manipulated to keep us down! Placated into social unrest Because blind eyes can't see you through The system was made to keep us in line And maintained by me and you How do you get a world to eat shit with a smile on their face, you just make them forget The tallest staircase has a lowest step Each one as important (as the next) This number game is too complex These tax men break and breathe down our necks All the while we strive for ground Manipulated to keep us down I can't believe What I thought was important to me Was just an elaborate scheme To steal my self esteem But I won't let these dark days bring me down We're fuckin tired Spinning these wheels In a machine that's designed to feed off our labor It gets bigger everyday But we're not moving on Every day now is full of strife But I'm down here to take back my life Every step has its rightful place I'll find my own way out This number game is complicated We need to get ourselves educated Stick together and take strength in the crowd We'll all keep moving on

Now or Never 03:49
lyrics
I've never been so afraid I've never had so many choices to make We spend all our time trying to find out why We waste our lives trying to buy more time I'm tired of being full of resentment The way this fucking place always makes me feel I swore I won't become so many things I've done But life has a funny way of breaking promises CHORUS It's come to pass once again And I'll say goodbye to my friends This uncertainty has become The only thing to rely on All the things we fear the most Fester to the point of boiling over A worst case plan for a moot point Of something that might not have ever happened I'm tired of being full of resentment The way this fucking place always makes me feel I swore I won't become so many things I've done But life has a funny way of breaking promises CHORUS It happens again I get caught up in the moment Thinking it's now or that it's never How could this be? This is what it is to Love something so much that it hurts I splitting at the seams And I'm losing my nerve I'll bide my time While these days wear thin But I found my own way to get outta here
