Trust in chance That I will see this through And overcome obstacles and struggles I go through Life never ends up the way you want it to It's not about winning the battle but just striving not to lose I worked so hard to get what I wanted and end up not getting a thing Never have I seen so clearly that life ain't what it seems Trust in chance That I will be ok and make the best of what What will come my way Trust in chance That I will be ok and make the best of what What will come my way Trust in Chance

My father once gave me one good piece of advice You just have to get through it Sorry son this world did not turn out the way you'd like Find what you love and do it It always seems there's more opposition than aid The standards held are not fair, but it always seems we'll have to struggle through their ways The paradox I'm aware So get together with like-minded friends you've made Forget standard procedures they're just so cliché You've gone to hell and back and I know that you've earned You've gotta make your own world This world will never provide everything you need Paradise ain't found it's made This world was never made for people like you and me Just try to make the grade So get together with like-minded friends you've made Forget standard procedures they're just so cliché You've gone to hell and back and I know that you've earned You've gotta make your own world We are the tyrants, we are the tyrants, we are the tyrants of our time Unrepresented, we're a statistic, we're just a number with no category Ah ah Make life what you want it to be, make life what you please The cards we're dealt are never certain, the atmospheres unaccommodating Play the game until you make it out So get together with like-minded friends you've made Forget standard procedures they're just so cliché You've gone to hell and back and I know that you've earned You've gotta make your own world You gotta make your own world You gotta make your own world You gotta make your own world

Drink drink drink drink drink it up and throw the bottle to the ground Feel that feeling in your throat as you swallow it down Slowly flowing through your veins making its way up to your brain Euphoria will take over. Well is this boredom? Or is this pain? Nonetheless it feels much better to not face it alone Shake shake shake shake shake it off the pain of reality A simple remedy will be of service Take your pain out on your liver rather than your brain Why settle for feeling defeated when you can settle for insane Well is this boredom? Or is this pain? Nonetheless it feels much better to not face it alone I want it to go straight to my head. I want it to go straight to my head The feeling of confused dunking emotions feels better than most logical notions of how I got myself in this place I failed myself, falling from grace My puke stained shirt will keep me warm tonight

Bailey 03:16
Dear Bailey, Don't let her get you down Your mom had you so young that she fails to be an adult now You're a product of a teenage birth Your mothers failed attempt to quench her Hollywood thirst She gave it all to Jesus and tried to hold it all up on faith From man to man from mouth to hand she fled from her mistakes Momma where we going? I don't understand Why we're leaving Dad The choice of just two toys seems sad as a replacement for a dad Dear Bailey don't let em make you mad Their hopelessly afflicted and will probably never see past their own devolving mind Slipping on further back in Time to a place where we'd all be heathens anyways It's funny when she slammed the door in your face Well, who's the child now How can I relate to someone who'd ever slam the door on their own daughter's face
