Shine

It seems we often need a small reminder
When the good times come enjoy then while they last
And it's easy yeah so easy to forget that when
The future comes it won't be like the past
Now I've heard we're made of billion year old carbon
Just like a star a diamond or the sun
And it's easy yeah so easy to forget sometimes
Just how quickly it can all become undone
And it doesn't really matter so much how or why
The bits and fragments came to intertwine
What matters is you're here and like the sun you
Are warm and bright and do your best to shine
The moon and stars at rest are an illusion
You'll find the truth to be self evident
Eventually we all reach the conclusion
That life is just one big experiment
And it doesn't really matter so much how or why
The bits and fragments came to intertwine
What matters is you're here and like the sun you
Are warm and bright and do your best to shine

Capsized

They say that life is short and time here is so brief
Full of possibilities and promise
And the pleasant feeling when you're dancing near the edge
Might help numb the pain and ease the sadness
And still I feel capsized
Set adrift on a sea of despair
Yeah, I feel capsized
Clinging to the hull of my life, and gulping for air
The planet owes you nothing - life is seldom fair
Full of darkness, selfishness and greed
Everyone pursuing goals that really aren't their own
Hoping they get everything they need
Ahhh sometimes I feel capsized
Set adrift on a sea of despair
Yeah, I feel capsized
Clinging to the hull of my life and gulping for air

Never Ashamed
02:51

Never be ashamed that you have a heart
That bleeds for everyone that you come across
With pain that weighs you down like an albatross
Never be ashamed for feeling that you have a heart
Don't apologize or feel that you're not enough
You can't please everyone just who the hell are they to judge
Your life is meant for you and not the doubters out of view
They have issues to work though
And your life is meant for you
We just want to make a difference when you boil it down
Make life good for ourselves and for those we're around
We want them to remember so they know we were here
So we do the best we can before we all disappear
When all is said and done
What's left is what the world is coming to
The losers lose the winners win and all that's really left is you
Your life is meant for you and not the doubters out of view
When all is said and done
What's left is what the world is coming to
We just want to make a difference when you boil it down
Make life good for ourselves and for those we're around
We want them to remember so they know we were here
So we do the best we can before we all disappear

Two Things
03:07
|

|
Tryin' to make two things happen at the same time
Ain't so easy when you're doin' it at night time
While working with your left brain
On an archetypal paradigm
Your heart is on the right side
And it's waiting for the prime time
One pays the rent and one makes you content
One makes you wonder how your life has been spent
When you've waited all your life for a colossal achievement
It's not an accident, you gave a hundred per cent
I love my friends but I'm not so good
At showing how I feel like a good friend would
I've been relying on the glue to spackle up the cracks and my
Sincerity is hidden in the wisecracks and comebacks
Finally you see that you're employed to be destroyed
You have to do what you enjoy, you have to make a little noise
And then it isn't hard to see it when you finally find your voice
Then you wonder why you waited
For so long to make your choice
I love my friends but I'm not so good
At showing how I feel like a good friend would
I've been relying on the glue to spackle up the cracks and my
Sincerity is hidden in the wisecracks and comebacks

Beautiful Night

On this beautiful night we'll be best friends forever
We'll share all of our dreams we'll tell jokes and be clever
We'll share all of our secrets and our fears
And we'll talk and we'll laugh
Like we've known each other for years
On this beautiful night we'll sit out by a fire
And we'll wait for the stars and the moon to rise higher
And we'll talk and we'll plan to climb ladders and mountains
And we'll promise we'll always be there
For each other to count on
While we're sitting in the moonlight
It's like nothing else matters
More than the next word that you'll say
While we're gazing at the starlight
All our problems and troubles and fears
Seem like light years away
On this beautiful night we'll be best friends forever
We'll share all of our dreams we'll tell jokes and be clever
We'll share all of our secrets and our fears
And we'll talk and we'll laugh
Like we've known each other for years

Get Together
02:35
|

Have a look outside it's balmy with a beautiful breeze
Partly cloudy in the morning
With a chance of catchin' lazy disease
You know your work will always be there
And there always will be people to please
So gather up some friends make some plans
Make a ruckus make a scene
Make a memory make a stand
Make it small make it grand or in between
Just remember that a memory makes you real
And the stuff is just a dream
When you're on your deathbed waiting for the bitter end
What you're gonna remember
Is the time you spent with your friends
And not the money you that made
And that you never had the time to spend
Have a look outside it's gonna be a beautiful day
Have a look outside it's gonna be a beautiful day
Let's get everyone together cause it's time to go out and play
