Be The Proof 03:32
Verse I want to be the proof I want you to see the truth I dont want to fake it I just want to make it on my own I don't need much these days Maybe a little bitty raise Just a little bit longer If I can only keep my head up Pre (ooooh) I'm feeling hearts are changing I believe in positive ways Let's keep it going work together in these crazy days Chorus Cuz I can see the sun on the horizon It's lifting up higher and higher Don't look to long it can be blinding Just use it use it as a guide in your life ooh ooh ah ah ahh ooh oooh oh ah ahh ah Verse Sometimes I need a sign Sometimes I need a little wine It may look like I'm fine but I Can't always keep my head up These days are feeling hard Can't focus on the dark Don't want to end up 20 Years just feeling jaded Pre I'm feeling hearts are changing I believe in positive ways Let's keep it going work together in these crazy days Chorus Let's be the proof I want you to see the truth I don't want to waste my life away

Hard Love 04:54
Chorus/Refrain This is a hard love This is a stone cold tragedy This is a long road But it's the only road for me Verse If I don't know where I'm supposed to go how do I get there? Pages keep changing on a book no one wrote and I'm so scared My minds congested with these questions is this how it's supposed to be? All of this time all this investment what's in it for me Chorus/Refrain This is a hard love This is a stone cold tragedy This is a long road But it's the only road for me Verse If love is the only emotion we need why can't I sleep? Wheels are turning money is burning and I'm so weak If it keeps moving this slowly I don't know how much more I can take (don't know how much more I can take) To change the course all together it might be too late Chorus/Refrain

Verse They say money makes the world go round And more of it makes for solid ground but I don't believe it I don't believe it The Queen of England's got a golden crown But even Donald Trump's gotta get down In the dumps sometimes lose his mind and have no friends around Chorus And it makes me wonder About the ones we see on screen It makes me think about the way I want to be Oh the way we want to be Verse We've got people living underground Living off shit that they found I don't believe it Even though I've seen it (with my own eyes) We've got soldiers all around the world Shooting at boys and girls And I don't know just how to make my mind around it Chorus And it makes me wonder about the ones we see on screen And it makes me think about the way I want to be The world all around me And it makes me wonder about the ones we see on screen It makes me think about the possibilties Bridge/Outro Oh the truth is all around us but we can't see it in America Cuz we've got false reality and we chase unatainable dreams Oh the truth is all around us but we can't see it in America cuz we've got false economy and we chase the American dream No I don't Believe it No I don't Believe it No I don't Believe it
4.
Verse Sometimes my mind goes a million miles a second Like I might die the next breath Sometimes my body won't stop moving I don't want to miss a minute of this life Sometimes my eyes see only darkness But mostly the light shines through Sometimes I think about that 9 to 5 But I realize that I've found something true Oh what are we doing here? Can we ever find that place in our mind What keeps us from living Living the life we want to live Sometimes your heart plays tricks on you And your vision gets clouded up with hate Sometimes that water seems to cold to touch Just dive head first it's never too late Chorus Is it love is it doubt Is it things you want to shout out? But you can't cuz you're scared You don't want to be found out Is it places or faces Situations you can't stand? It's too much It's not enough Just give yourself a hand and let go Chorus
