Little Things

I got a rug in my living room, that I walk on every day.
Tucked under the coffee table, I'm trying to appreciate the little things
Keep me from feeling sad all the time, feeling like change can only happen in my mind
The gray shaggy rug in my living room, it's the little things I love that keep me feeling alive
Early evenings with TV dinner, my house is warm in the cold
Watching movies I've already seen, it sure is the little things
Keep me from feeling sad all the time, feeling like change can only happen in my mind
The gray shaggy rug in my living room, it's the little things I love that keep me feeling alive

Elbow Grease

Why are you running, like a bat out of hell
I know you've seen something that you don't wanna tell
So why pick your poison when there is nothing new,
there ain't no wrong decision when it's chosen for you
Will somebody save me?
Work your ass off, get ahead
That might be the biggest lie ever said
Elbow grease is elbow gold, so only do what you're told
I ain't trying to line pockets, I ain't here for fun
I need to go to the doctor before the year is done
Will somebody save me? The man's gone crazy
And now I'm running for my life, trying to lay my head for the night
Will somebody save me?
So was it worth the effort was it worth the time?
Wasted and spent going broke and trying
Now the wheels are turning, and the coals are there
I'm coming to grips with the fact that life doesn't care
Will somebody save me? The man's gone crazy
And now I'm running for my life, trying to lay my head for the night
Will somebody save me?

Chameleon

Change my color, just to fit in
Now I don't know who I am
Playing background until the background fell apart
and I don't know where to go
'How's it going?' but I don't know what else to say
I haven't been myself since the good old days
Jumping in, and jumping out
I lost the feeling of what life should be about
I'm a chameleon, too afraid to be himself
I am the color of someone else
Hiding in plain sight
I am the color of someone else, I'm a chameleon

When I Know

Without a handsome reward at the end of what you're doing.
Without the voice of your friends, to make sure you're not always falling. Hoping that all of the bad things that happen will work out in the end. Straying from where you find yourself when you're stuck again and again.
So when I know, where I wanna go, and who I wanna be.
No one will change my mind but me. And I'll be the best human I can be.
So down and again, I've held myself back far too scared.
Worried about, what people think and if they care.
To put yourself out there with no hesitation what a beautiful life to live.
I wanna use my voice, not be afraid of its power, and scream all I can scream.
So when I know, where I wanna go, and who I wanna be.
No one will change my mind but me. And I'll be the best human I can be.

Sparkle

I've been doing my best to live in the moment, staying put in the sweet spot of life
Being present feels like a home that I haven't felt in years
Grounded, standing tall. Believe the words that come from my mouth
I thought I'd figured it out, how we are meant to be
I wanna sparkle. I wanna glow.
I wanna find reasons to be happy when I'm alone
I've been doing my best
I've been doing my best to be a better friend, lend a shoulder and an ear
Slowing down from a run to the next thing or someone
The grass isn't greener, the clouds aren't bluer
I'll find a way to love things the same, as I once did
I wanna sparkle. I wanna glow.
I wanna find reasons to be happy when I'm alone
I've been doing my best

Good Thoughts

I do not know a day, where I haven't been afraid of what's crawling up my bedpost
And I paint pictures in the night, breaking all the rules that hold my art to headphones
I found I'm 20 days late on a personal call and it shows my ends are splitting
and I spent the summer sleeping long, I snoozed the alarms but now wish that the fun was still around
Now sonically I'm fighting rhyme with reason sparking dream in a body
We'll imagine where the good thoughts go when the world tells you no
