I Want It All

They say money can't buy you happiness
But money can buy you a new car
Money puts a roof over your head, yeah,
Money gets you pretty far
Money buys a seat of power
Making a king from a clown
Money is the root of all the evil
Money makes the world go 'round
I wanna eat the best food, drink the best booze
Take the prettiest girls back to the best hotel room
I wanna go far, I wanna be a star
I wanna be better than you
I want to own the latest trend and the newest addition
I just want something that's better
Better than whatever I have
I want a party
I want a cookie
I want to stay up
I want, I want, I want
Me, me, me, me
Mine, mine, mine, mine
Now, now, now
It's not big enough
It's not bright enough
It's not fast enough
It's not enough
I want it all

One Day Sober

One day sober and I'm feeling dead
Feel like I gotta make a change somehow
I feel like a wrecking ball's in my head
Can't stop shaking, so I better stop breaking myself
One day sober
Starting over
One day sober
Starting over
Three days sober and I'm feeling okay
Finally feel like this could be the way
I feel like the dawn of a brand new day
Nothing's gonna get in my way, nothing's gonna get in my way,
Nothing's gonna get in my way, no
One day sober
Starting over
One day sober
Starting over
Three weeks sober and I'm feeling the grind
But I gotta keep a focused mind
Keep my eyes looking right on the prize
I'm living my life one day at a time
Three months sober and now I see
The same old problems, they're still bothering me
So much for the brand new day
'Cause I'm a disaster no matter which way
Reunited with my friends
And now I'm one day sober again

Going Nowhere Slowly

Hello again, nice to see you
Make yourself at home
It's been awhile, and I was wondering
When you'd come around again
Always around the corner
Never seem to leave me alone
The mirror is my greatest enemy
Wandering around in blissful ignorance
Seeking a distraction from this depression
At the edge of the cliff, I gotta watch my footing
Before i drown in the inside of me
I know my past, I can know my future
I see the patterns emerging, and I'm going nowhere
Spinning in circles
And slipping into cycles
And sinking into shadows
And nothing will ever be done
I'm trying to learn how to change
How to be a better man
Trying to learn how to live
With some pride
I'm too young to get stuck in a rut
But I'm too damn old to flounder and fall
Friends to the left, they're starting families
Friends to the right trying to save the world
And here I am, just stuck in the middle
What have I done?
What will I ever do?
I know my past, I can know my future
Everything changes, and everything stays the same
And I'm still going nowhere slowly

I wish I was pretty
I wish I was smart
I wish I was clever
I wish I was like you
I wish I was faster
I wish I was stronger
I wish I was better
I wish I was like you
Jealousy gets the best of me
What makes you the way you are?
You're everything that I will never be
I want to be the way you are
You enter a room and everyone turns
They're always smiling at you
Everyone wants to talk with you
You're always the best at everything that you do
And you do everything, don't you?
You're always the best at everything that you do
And you do everything
Jealousy gets the best of me
What makes you the way you are?
You're everything that I will never be
I want to see the way you are
I try so hard to get things right
You make it look so easy
If you weren't so damn easy to love
I would hate you
A perfect body, a perfect smile
A perfect everything you are
And I am nothing much to see
And I will never be like you

Tell me how you want me to take you
Where you want to go, how do you want to get there
Show me what you're like when you just let go
You scratch my back and I'll your hair
Free yourself and rock and roll
Don't be afraid, just take control
Sticking and twisting all together
Don't think too hard, It's only pleasure
I need to touch
I need to feel
I don't care if it's real or not, 'cause
I want to feel your
I want to smell your
I want to taste your
Lovestink in the air
Rolling on the floor
Or pinned up against the door
Let's keep riding out this groove
Until we both can't fucking move
You call out my name
I'm so glad you came
But don't do anything stupid like fall in love
You're only here to fill a void inside of me
I need to touch
I need to feel
I don't care if it's real or not, 'cause
I want to feel your
I want to smell your
I want to taste your
Lovestink in the air
See, feel, touch, heal
See, feel, touch, heal
See, feel, touch, heal
See, feel, touch, heal

Burning Bridges

You and I were in love once
We thought we had golden days ahead
But we're both victims of circumstance
And life had other plans instead
Now it seems this is ending
We both see, but won't say
And I can't be the one who ends this
So I'll force you to walk away
And if you're gonna go, then leave me
I really don't wanna know where you will be
And I won't be the one to end
Instead I'll blame it all on you, my friend
My friend
I burn all my bridges
Until I'm the last one standing there
But I'd rather live on my feet and all alone
Than ever have you see me beg
And if there's a way that I can fix this
I will never let you know
'Cause I burn all my bridges
But I've got this island to my own
And if you're gonna go, then leave me
I really don't wanna know where you will be
And I won't be the one to end
Instead I'll blame it all on you, my friend
My friend

(Loud angry noises)
I don't need no arms around me
I don't need no drugs to calm me
I'll just bang my head into the wall
Don't thing I need nothing at all
(More loud angry noises)

The Strength

I'm not perfect. Yeah, I'll probably be the first one to tell you that. There's plenty of things about me I'm not proud of, I wish I could be better at, or not so bad at. I've never been religious. I don't think religion can help me. I can't reach out to some spiritual being asking them to change me, because then I won't learn anything, I'll just be making the same mistakes over and over and over again. If I'm really gonna change, I have to be the one to change. I have to give myself the strength to change the things I can't accept.
