Overboard

Stay in school

Clean your mess

Don’t get too close with your best friend

Cause in the morning

When the smoke clears

All you have is empty promises

 

When the bell rings

And all your life is just a blur

You need a friend who’s not afraid

And a place that you can run

 

You’ll find me overboard

You’ll find me overboard

You’ll find me

You’ll find me

You’ll find me overboard

 

Settled matters

Come to head

Usually at three am

But in the morning

When the smoke clears

All you have is what you can still hold in your hands

 

When the bell rings

And all your life is just a blur

You need a friend who’s not afraid

And a place that you can run

 

You’ll find me overboard

You’ll find me overboard

You’ll find me

You’ll find me

You’ll find me overboard

 

When the bell rings

When the bell rings

When the bell rings

You’ll find me

You’ll find me

You’ll find me overboard

You’ll find me overboard

A place that you can run

You’ll find me overboard

Piece of Peace

There are few that ever speak

About the change we need to make

Cause those that have been brave

Have found themselves a grave

And if I end up dead, if I end up dead

In the name of something better

Put on that mighty stone

The true emboldened letters

 

Find me a little piece of peace

Find me a little piece of peace

Find me a little piece of peace

To hold onto when the nights are cold

And I’ve had a long hard week

Find me a little piece of peace

 

What’s the use of tongue so tied

In a knot they can’t sit right

In a mouth so fed up wide

They can’t tell truth from lie

And if I end up waked, if I end up waked

From a nightmare so surreal

I will thank a great creator

For the urgency to feel

 

Find me a little piece of peace

Find me a little piece of peace

Find me a little piece of peace

To hold onto when the nights are cold

And I’ve had a long hard week

Find me a little piece of peace

Fixed

I have never come when called

I have never spoken any truth

I have never braved it all

And frankly, I don’t intend to

 

For all your glory

All your rules

You can’t fix me

I can’t fix you

You can’t fix me

I can’t fix you

 

I have never made a wrong a right

I have never been faced with myself

I have never stayed up crying all night

Until I met you

 

For all your glory

All your rules

You can’t fix me

I can’t fix you

You can’t fix me

I can’t fix you

 

Your boxes don’t fit people

Your tools don’t even touch their heads

Sometimes it’s out of your control

Sometimes it’s better that way

 

For all your glory

All your rules

You can’t fix me

I can’t fix you

You can’t fix me

I can’t fix you
