He lies on the floor and he says why?
He lies on the floor when his girlfriend cries.
When the mamas don’t come home and the daddies go to work early.
He lies on the floor and he tries to think,
And she says why?
She says why?
Why do you leave when the times get heavy?
Why am I always on my own?
And she gets down and she prays to the God she tries to trust.
And what does he say?
He says nothing.
He says nothing?
Nothing when all he can do is watch,
Watch as the world of a friend seems to fall apart.
No way to look for help and no one to go to.
And he watches and wants to go back,
Back to the innocence he once knew.
And then they’ll join.
They join,
And the world comes together and all the pain is undone.
They love, and in a heartbeat they feel wanted.
So there’s peace and all it took was a word.
One word, and you can take it all back.
HELP!
Help, and that they do.
Love, and then they think.
Trust, and there will be love.
Peace, and the world will live on.

There Was a Time
There was a time when you cherished me
When you held me high above everyone else
When you worshiped me
There was a time when we were best friends
When we could talk for hours and still have more to say
When you loved me.
There was a time when I was only your's
When I saw, no one else
When did this end?
There you were, standing in my life
When you left, it was empty
When you left, I was happy
There was a time when we both had passion
When colors looked brighter and love was real
When the moon was so far we couldn't believe people could reach it
There was a time when we were younger
When none of these shenanigans went on
When we were innocent and looked at the stars
There was a time, in a parking lot I walked through last week
When we laid on the ground and looked up
When we fell in love
When you held me high above everyone else
When you worshiped me
There was a time when we were best friends
When we could talk for hours and still have more to say
When you loved me.
There was a time when I was only your's
When I saw, no one else
When did this end?
There you were, standing in my life
When you left, it was empty
When you left, I was happy
There was a time when we both had passion
When colors looked brighter and love was real
When the moon was so far we couldn't believe people could reach it
There was a time when we were younger
When none of these shenanigans went on
When we were innocent and looked at the stars
There was a time, in a parking lot I walked through last week
When we laid on the ground and looked up
When we fell in love
The Old Married Couple Routine
Did you switch that gym class?
Are doing well in science?
Hun, what day is it tomorrow?
Are you listening to me Filipe?
What are we doing this weekend?
Can You help me with Spanish?
Where'd you go?
Question which are meaningless.
No meat, no matter.
What have we turned into?
Stay up late, no one cares.
When the morning comes it's just “Come on, get up Hun”.
And then you realize that this is what it's turned into.
Just to “Hello love, how was you day? How was work?”
The Old Married Couple Routine.
So you stop, and you say “Hey, you remember that time...”
That time we stayed up all night long, that time we watched the sun rise.
And hey maybe this is what life is, an actual conversation.
But how many times does that really happen?
Cuz we're all so busy, and so stressed.
And all our life is is yelling and fighting, and we lose sight of what we loved.
So you fight, and it's all just play.
But the Old Married Couple Routine gives it away.
And yeah the movies, they're real nice.
But is that really anything?
No. Just the fluff in your sandwich.
So you say, “Hey. Lets get away.”
“Let's go to a place we can really call home.”
“Where the people don't care cuz they don't seem to know.”
But the old routine just grows new in time.
And you realize what love really is.
Are doing well in science?
Hun, what day is it tomorrow?

The Game
Hello. Are you lost?
What’s your name? What’s your age?
Where you from? Where you going girl?
Come along, follow me.
Through the dark till you see,
The light at the end of the tunnel.
If I call, will you come?
If you learn, will you run?
Do you know who I am?
Can you see through my plan?
Because you see, I don’t really care about you.
But you talk just like you do.
We’re not so innocent can’t you see?
Baby, it’s just my world and me.
I’m gonna play you like a game,
And then leave you out to drain.
Forget all of our pasts,
And go rummage through my trash.
So just sit on down and smoke that weed.
Understand that you’ll never succeed.
You’re just a fly, hell the big guys they’d kill
if they knew what we’ve done.
Learn a lesson, use it well.
Forget the lesson, you'll sure know hell.
Go out and be a big guy in this little world.
Play the game like it’s your favorite toy.
Baby, that’s my lesson to you.
Use it wise you know what to do.

Secrets You Know
I know things I shouldn’t know.
About where they go when the world gets heavy.
About how they go and let the world spin.
I know what they know, but they won’t let me in.
Deserted here by all who know.
Deserted here, and left to be blue.
Plans to kill that fill her head.
Plans that kill have left you dead.
One way streets, turned into two.
Split down the middle, cut in two.
Like lives split by divorce.
Killing kids with its great force.
No one cares about what’s going on.
Their friends are dieing, they go on and on.
Crying about things that only matter to them.
It’s their world no one else can get in.
People come, and people go.
People say, and people know.
Not ready to grow up, not ready to get old.
Not wanting to be here, this life is getting cold.

If You Were to Go Insane
If you were to go insane
I probably wouldn't stay.
I'd be afraid of you and,
You'd be afraid of me.
Because when you looked at me you'd see a tiger.
And I would roar!
You'd be afraid, I can promise you that.
I probably wouldn't blame you
As you run away to hide.
As you run away to hide
I probably wouldn't blame you.
You'd be afraid, I can promise you that.
