I used to be so strong Now I'm barely hanging on Now I'm barely hanging on I used to be so tough Now I think I've had enough Now I think I've had enough Like a snowman in the rain Like another day down the drain Tomorrow there'll be nothing left Today feels like the same And that's the way it goes when life's all wrong I used to be so strong and now I'm barely hanging on My future looked so bright But I pulled the shades in tight Now I'm dimming with the light Pull myself across the floor Try to muster up a little more The walls are closing in The ringing in my head can't be ignored And that's the way it goes when life's so long I used to be so strong and now I'm barely hanging on

Skate Death 02:44
I was in a dream the other night I was in a tunnel riding towards a blinding light With my skateboard under me I could feel the world through my bare feet Far ahead now, out in front me I could see a hundred miles of road Straight to the beach And when I get there I know There will be no undertow And we'll sail a sea of stairs Catch the air Drop in fast Hold your breath If you feel your life posessed You gotta skate death And as I ride off the wall I know for sure that I won't fall There's no one here at all but Me and You and you skate death too

Well we're getting something started and we're totally ready The vision is complete and realized We got everything we need and we're picking up speed And we're gonna rid the world of fear and lies The past has never been so far behind us And The Future moves closer with every day We got it in our hands and we'll throw it away Because this is the time we've been dreaming of Never going back to the way things was Oh yeah yeah We found a hole in the wall and we're going through it And you can come too if you got the nerve But we're only gonna get just what we deserve So if you're feeling like it's true Then I'm talking to you Now how many times can you say you're gonna do it Before something inside you won't take it no more They'll tell you that you never should have opened that door But maybe I'll see you on the other side And maybe on the other side there are no sides You don't know till it's over if you get off track And if you wanna make it down below the black You can't save anything for coming back So do your worst for me And let me see how far I go I know that I can take it somewhere I don't wanna go I think it's gonna hurt but I'm pretty sure

It's 2010 We're gonna do it again We're setting out on another odyssey We're going back to Jupiter Something amazing happened there And we're hitting the road for the edge of the galaxy We gotta do the best we can Gotta find out what went down Gotta find what happened to our men out there And see if anyone's still around This might be a one-way ticket This could be the end of us But in the name of science And the Cosmos do we trust But way out here it's more than one's and zero's so it seems Sometimes it's dreams Sometimes its dreams

Giselle 05:02
Hey Look outside Did you notice that it's extra bright? And the scene that was green Is now serene and glowing white? Oh my So sublime The snow is falling hard on our yard And dropping down on our town Do you want to go and walk around? I can't skate home in the dark tonight I'd be cold and alone and it wouldn't be right So Giselle Can I stay and sleep on your couch tonight? If you're still up we can hang out all night Giselle I wish I knew you well Hey What's that sound? I don't think there's anyone around Come sit closer to me and we'll lean a little over Let our tangles come unwound It's okay, you and me We've got everything that we need right here We got fire and light I got you, we're alright and we're not afraid of getting weird Now it's no time to dwell on our pain and sorrow And we both got nothing to do tomorrow Giselle Can I stay and sleep on your couch tonight? If you're still up we can hang out all night Giselle This is my guitar There are many like it but this one is mine Got my four track tape recorder I got my drum machine and my mic But all of this shit is worthless Without someone special to sing about Can you figure it out? Alright so I wrote this song, here it goes.. I hope you like it Giselle Can I stay and sleep on your couch tonight? If you're still up we can hang out all night Giselle You're special I can tell
