Always in the Middle
Verse 1
I'm stuck in my own puddle
And it's not much of a struggle
Way too subtle, but also insane
While others do drugs, I just ruin my brain
Chorus
I'm always in the middle
and perplexed by life's riddle
Always too much, always too little
But you'll always find me in the middle
Verse 2
Now all is boring and overrated
But it might just be me who's jaded
I hate it, feel like I could do without
I'm stuck in the middle of my own doubt
Bridge
Born into the middle class
The middle of the road is where I pass
Never alone and never together
Is this how it's gonna stay forever?
I never really got my thrill
And I wonder if I ever will
Verse 3
And I don't know where they've turned
All those bridges that I've burned
I'm learned, but also ingrained
Others fall in love, I just fall insane

Secret
Verse 1
I've got a little secret that no one gets to know
I always carry it with me wherever I may go
It hurts to keep it inside, but would be worse if it came out
And this secret paints my world into an artwork of shame and doubt
Chorus
So welcome to my world
You won't be staying long
The only way into my world
Is through this god damn song
You won't get this secret
Which you've now been exposed to
Everyone has secrets
Maybe we're supposed to
Verse 2
I've got lots of secrets that never will be told
And I guess it's stinging more as I'm growing more old
In the grand scheme of things, my secrets are no big deal
But to me it matters much, cuz of the pain they make me feel
Verse 3
Maybe we should count ourselves lucky, be thankful for every scar
It's the secrets we keep that tells us who we are
We cover up our scars with lifted heads and all our clothes
But it's when we're naked we see what nobody else knows

The Ends(don't justify the means)
Verse 1
Sometimes I feel like you're honest
other times it seems like you lie
sometimes it feels like it's August
but sometimes it seems like July
Things will always seem different
meanings change as you turn the book
sometimes the closest is distant
the vacant table is already booked
Chorus
But the things that we share
is just a nightmare
and it'll never turn out like my dreams
it's far from July
and no matter how I try
the ends cannot justify the means
Verse 2
Sometimes I seem like I'm honest
when I really am full of hit
Sometimes I seem like I'm modest
when I'm bragging like hell about it
People are fucked and deceptive
and they really make me sad
but it all puts me in perspective
I really can't be that bad
The ends cannot justify the means
(The means just can't justify the end)

Little Laura (The Sad Turtle)
Verse 1
Little Laura is just a turtle
Every hour is a new step, each day is a new hurdle
Even when there's sunshine, Laura wishes she was well
Cuz all she sees is darkness when she's hiding in her shell
Oh oh Laura I want you to know
all you need is baby steps, the fastest were once slow
Chorus
The world moves quick
and only the slow will see it
and if you fall behind
well, so be it
The world is tough
when you're a turtle
So Smile and dry your eyes
Laura Turtle
Verse 2
Little Laura listens to her favorite song
But she can't follow the beat and lyrics are all wrong
And even when she's smiling, there's a little tear inside
Just dreaming of the day when she doesn't have to hide
Oh oh Laura I want you to see
Things don't always work out, just be who you want to be
Verse 3
Little Laura is a sad little turtle
Watches Pokemon, wishes she could be like Squirtle
Maybe we're all like Laura, just hiding in our shells
Just dreaming of the day we can truly be ourselves
Oh oh Laura, we all know that she's a
turtle who'll never be a Ninja, but she's still eating pizza

All I Have
Verse 1
I used to have dreams of movin' forward
Not having to say one more word
To live in world where all was equal
Same opportunities for all people
But I guess I had to give up
on goals to which I could never live up
Verse 2
I used to dream of a world without riches
Where different thinkers don't get burned as witches
I wanted to know what I did had meaning
And I didn't get lost in pointless dreaming
But I guess it's basically true
These are things I can never do
Chorus
Cuz I can't change the world
I can't hardly change myself
I just want to know
if there's some way I can help
I'd just like to know if I could take one for the team
But for now all I have is a dream
Verse 3
I used to have hopes for a better future
"But that won't work", oh, are you sure?
Where there's no such thing as extended excess
A place for all creeds, races and sexes
But I guess you are right
A change like that won't happen overnight
Verse 4
I used to dream of getting better
Of one day getting myself together
To work hard and never give in
And that little hope what was got me livin'
But now, what is left?
Just knowing I did my best?
