Beat right down,  by Noah Ruppert    

I was outside pondering on what to think about

I scrounged a dollar for a pen so I could write it all out

I lost my favorite sweatshirt just the other night

I’m cold broke but not yet dead, I guess I’m doing just fine

It’s twelve o’clock, I just slept in for class again today

I got kicked out so now I don’t think midterms look that great

Whoever said it would be good to have some kind of degree

I guess that didn’t work out, no, it got the best of me

 

Chorus

Cause I’m beat right down to the bottom of my knowledge

and I can’t sit down without knowing nothing

Distractions go through my head while I’m working in class today

Tried too late had too much slackin, my brain waves are only used to nappin

seems too hard to catch up with things these days

 

I’m out of state these things are unfamiliar

I stay up late, where spades are played and that’s for sure

I have no time, Okay I guess I have the day

wake up at nine, plus three and then I’m on my way

Give and Take, by Noah Ruppert

Don’t expect to not get hurt,

You’ll get hurt when you least expect

and keep in mind we’re navigated from

the one who knows the best

All our choices and decisions

are based off what we learn

and once you learn you try so hard

but yet you’ll trip you’ll lose you’ll burn

As peaceful as it seems

you cant get by without bad dreams

You’ll learn from your mistakes

but each mistake will come in different ways

 

Chorus

What you give is what you take

it’s one repeated circle

so when you take what they will give

the good advice could make a positive life

 

I learned the hard way into trouble

Some words I didn’t take

It caught up with me in a bubble

and now I know I didn’t make the right decision

to leave my conscience be

now I know the consequences suck

now its leading me to see

that as simple as it seems

you can’t get by without bad dreams

you’ll learn from your mistakes

and each mistake will come in different ways

 

Bridge

Everybody’s got their problems

Everybody tries to solve them

If one day, there’d be no more

That’d be the day that’s too good to be true

Growing Years, by Jon Beattie                                                              

It's weird to think that at the drop of the hat your world can be turned around

What was left is right, and now it seems to me that what was right is wrong

And now I'm bound by chains, the making are my own

So I will await the day  where they shall be outgrown

 

Chorus

 I just wanna forget all the problems that I face

The trials, the hardships, and all of the despair

I just need to let things take their own course as they will

And stop trying to force my growing years

 

I've realized that you can't run from something that's a part of you

Though we try to look away, it's something we can't do

And when I stop to think I can't figure out how my life got this way

'Cuz at the start of things it just seemed to me like any other day

I can’t fathom, by Noah Ruppert

Somewhere out there a kid is lost in his head

and I cant understand why his parents chose to neglect

his living styles consist of running around

he doesn’t know what's wrong or right just knows his way around town

 

I don’t think I could fathom the way that people have to live

I think we take for granted all of the things that I’m blessed with

 

Chorus

It never really crossed my mind, the things that happen all the time

the shirt I just threw on my back, the dollar I grabbed for a snack

sometimes it seems almost unfair, like all my trials could not compare

to some people, what they went through, I feel I couldn’t fill their shoes

 

Lately it seems, it seems as if I’ve overlooked the good

I strive for better things, the things I think I should

I’ve completely forgotten all the things I have

 

 

I can’t fathom what they’ve been through

I take for granted all we’ve been through

Never quite satisfied ,  by Noah Ruppert

 

There comes a day when we’ll all die

until that day comes we’ll live our life

a short lifespan for what’s ahead

if you don’t believe, then your as good as dead

so many choices on what to do

so many people for you to choose

you do the picking of what your life will hold

what people think of you is an opinion that they told

 

What would it be like if there was no poor

would the whole world be happy

or more greed than before

 

Chorus

We’re never quite yet satisfied

with all the things we have

did we forget the point of life

we should just be glad

One more breath, by Noah Ruppert

 I know you’re struggling in life

it happens all the time

just need to keep your cool

I know its tough for you to live

You shoulda gave it one more give

and now it feels it’s so untrue

 

Chorus

You didn’t have to go and end your life the way that you did

take one more breath and realize it’s not the way that you live

one more hour and one more day could keep the tears from going away

just one more day

 

Now you’re gone and I can’t see

just what you’re feeling

you could’ve shared you’re thoughts with me

We could’ve talked for hours on end

until you’re feeling good again

it’s not the way we’d ever dreamed that it’d turn out to be
