Pillar of Society

I am a pillar, a pillar of society
I don’t mess around because I’ve got responsibility
And I know God loves me
Like my mommy never did
I am a pillar, a pillar of society
I sponsored a mural on a wall in my community
Gonna buy myself a trust fund
And I'm gonna leave it to my kid
Take away my sleep and burn me out
Take away my dreams, the end, the end is now
Just don’t let Satan drag me down
I am a pillar, a pillar of society
Everyday I’m adding to my skills and abilities
I keep a close eye on my
Level of toxicity
And I’ve got pills for my, pills for my anxiety
It’s just a pitstop on the road, the road to responsibility
And I can feel the universe
Whispering of her love for me
Take away my sleep and burn me out
Take away my dreams, the end, the end is now
Just don’t let Satan drag me down
Take away my sleep and burn me out
Take away my dreams, the end, the end is now
Just don’t let Satan drag me down

Hard to Be Strangers
03:18

Penny, it's a pity
To go our separate ways
When I see you in the city
Every other day
We can't be together
But I know you think of me
Because you wrote it in a letter
Now it's so hard to be
Hard to be
Hard to be
Hard to be strangers
It's hard to be
Hard to be
Hard to be strangers
Penny, it's a shame
We ever said our love was wrong
How can we snuff the flame
Burning for so long?
It's not easy to forget you
When we ride the same bus line
So on your lunch break can I meet you
To say goodbye one more time?
It's hard to be
It's hard to be
Hard to be strangers
It's hard to be
It's hard to be
Hard to be strangers
It's hard to be
Hard to be
Hard to be strangers
It's hard to be
Hard to be
Hard to be strangers
It's hard to be
It's hard to be
It's hard to be strangers
Hard to be
It's hard to be
Hard to be strangers
Hard to be
Hard to be
Hard to be
Hard to be

Talk to Myself
02:35

I guess maybe you're right
About that thing
You said to me
What was it again?
It was so true
It saved my life
It seems like you
Know me better than I
Than I know myself
Than I know myself
Than I know my
Hums like highway
I can't even hear
Because I tuned it out
But I know it's there
I am so sorry
I don't even pay
Attention when I
When I talk to myself
When I talk to myself
When I talk to myself
When I talk to my
There is an emotion
Deep down inside
Waiting for you
Come on let’s go
We’ll find it together
Please take my hand
This could get weird
Just follow the sound
The sound of my voice
The sound of my voice
The sound of my voice
The sound of my voice
The sound of my voice
The sound of my voice
The sound of my

Color Bleed
03:08
|

Well the fire in my heart
Is now a fire in my head
And a fire on my breath
Is all I need
A little spark to make it start
A little fuel to make it spread
A little flame upon my wall
Makes the color bleed
And I’ll save you from every evil in this place
I’ll save you from every evil in this place
So don’t be frightened when I call
I’m here to brighten up your hall
Let the writing on the wall now be erased
I got this contract in my hand
And I hold it to the heat
I like the way the smoke repeats
The way the paper curls
We’ll spread a new warmth across this land
Tongues of fire out in the street
I’ll be the sizzle, crackle, pop
Heard around the world
And I will save you from every evil in this place
I’ll save you from every evil in this place
So don’t be frightened when I call
I’m here to brighten up your hall
Let the writing on the wall now be erased
Well the fire in my heart
Is now a fire in my head
And a fire on my breath
Is all I need
A little spark to make it start
A little fuel to make it spread
A little flame upon my wall
Makes the color bleed

Pull the siren from the socket
Put a fake name on the form
Put the baby in the bucket
Let's keep each other warm
Take your dad’s name off the docket
Put your worries in the weather
Put the baby in the bucket
Let's spend the night together
Keep the letter in the locket
Put your loving in the light
Put the baby in the bucket
Let's hold each other tight
Take the broken chair and chuck it
Put a mat over the mess
Put the baby in the bucket
Let's make some tenderness
Take your pennies out your pocket
Put your sorrow in a song
Put the baby in the bucket
Let's stay up all night long
Send the neighbors to Nantucket
Put a dollar on the door
Put the baby in the bucket
Let's see who loves who more

Tears of Youth
02:14
|

The old men in my morning view
Go limping by the glass
They’ve conquered all the tears of youth
And can see their life at last
And in evening shadows they'll raise a cup
Of life to quench their thirst
And I'll join them one day too
If tears of youth don’t get me first
At birth you cried inhaling hard
The air into your tender lungs
Now take your breath, your sighs, your words
And turn them into songs
And beneath a light or by a fire tell
Your story verse by verse
And I’ll join you on the stage
If tears of youth don’t get me first
And beneath a light or by a fire tell
Your story verse by verse
And I’ll join you on the stage
If tears of youth don’t get me first

These Times of Change
03:22

Walk with my my friend, I have love
A kind to move you through the rain
You might think your heart is not your own
So we'll feel for the rhythm in your veins
And I know you will breathe through
I know you will breathe through
I know you will breathe through
To the other side of these times of change
Walk with me my friend, I have drink
A kind to soothe the ache and pain
You might think your head is not your own
So we'll warm our hearts to keep us sane
And I know you will breathe through
I know you will breathe through
I know you will breathe through
To the other side of these times of change
I know you will breathe through
I know you will breathe through
I know you will breathe through
I know you will breathe through
I know you will breathe through
I know you will breathe through
I know you will breathe through
I know you will breathe through
I know you (will breathe through)
I know you (will breathe through)
I know you (will breathe through)
To the other side of these times of change
