• Chalk It Up

– Verse:

• There has to be a

day, when you push

it all away

• Y’had enough of

your own shit,

today’s the final

day

• Not gonna wait

around for that

sinking feeling to

return

• Pull my soul from

my chest and shake

it good and stern

o Bridge: x2

Chalk it up to

foolish faith and

everything I’ve

craved

Chalk it up to good

intent, but that

road has already

been paved

o Chorus:

I’m riding high on

an ever-changing

world

• And just when I

fuckin’ thought

that I had seen it

all

• I took the time to

stand beside

myself

– Verse:

• The air seems

cleaner only a

breath away

• Leaps-and-

bounds-fresh-

new-sounds, what

do you got to

say?

• Kick the bucket

or grab the sky,

there is no end in

sight

• Slam and worm-

sink or swim, you

might even have

to fight!

– Bridge

– Chorus

– Double time

change up

• You don’t to be

witness to the

mess in my mind

• I don’t want to be

witness to the

mess of human

kind

• I’m carrying a big

stick and taking it

all in stride

• I’m carrying a big

stick, there is

nowhere to hide

• You can’t hide from

your mind!

• You can’t hide from

your mind!

• You can’t hide from

your mind!

– Double time

change up repeat

• There’s nowhere

you can hide!

• There’s nowhere

you can hide!

– Song rings out...

•

• Salad In The Air

• Old Habits die

hard and that’s

the fuckin’ truth

• Hammer down the

days just to hold

down the roof

• Bullshit weighs a

ton and my back

is fuckin’ sore

• I’m standing on my

head with my

salad in the air

– CHORUS:

• The problems are

oblivious

• They’re all put on

display

• My mouth zipped

tight

• or else I’ll have

to pay

• Cross my fingers,

furrow my brow

and hope for the

best

• Clear a path for

my ass, and fuck

all the rest

• Cross my fingers,

furrow my brow

and hope for the

best

• Clear a path for

my ass, and fuck

all the rest

– Chorus

– Change-Up

• Frustration, it

mounts deep inside

my mind

• Bury it under

Logic, but there is

nowhere it can

hide

• Repressed

emotions are

building a time

bomb

• Check my head,

clear my head,

but I know there’s

something wrong

•

• SOMETHING –IS–

FUCKING–WRONG!

• Try to keep a level

head, but gnaws

away at my soul

• Try to hold onto

reality, (but-it’s-so-

easy-to-let-go!)

• Re-affirm my

stance as I clench

my fists tight

• Fending off the

bullshit (and-

fighting-the-good-

fight)

• The spirit is willing,

but the flesh is

getting weak

• I’m standing in a

place (where-fire-

and-ice-meet)

• Pushing my luck

and I hope it’s

worth the spill

• One things for

sure (if-I-don’t-

embrace-my-fate-

someone-else-

certainly-will)

• Not Been The Same

• I’m pushing

forward, the

world is pushing

back

• Bang my head

from side, escape

from this trap

• As you may know

it’s not easy to

do

• Running in

circles, you’re

stuck in a fuckin’

zoo!

• Tryin’ to keep it

real in a world

gone mad

• I’ve gotta keep my

cool or join the

mindless mob

• I suppose it’s all

the same and

we’re all insane

• Losing our

fucking minds, but

everything’s ok!

• Chorus:

• I have opened my

eyes, and

• I have opened my

mind, and

• I can no longer

remain

• Because I have

not been the

same

– Not been the

same!

– Not been the

same!

– Not been the

same!

• Feeling Sick

• Intro-verse

• Feeling sick in the

pit of my stomach

• The air I breath is

as thick as mud

light in the dark

slightest spark –

Ya-Ya!

• You’re the one

you’re foolin’

• I can see what

you’re doin’

you’re cheatin’

• And I’m the one

who’s leaving

your story

sorry

• You’ve got

something to hide

• You show all the

signs

– Verse 2

• You’re painting a

picture

• For all the

world to see

• It’s a thin canvas,

• But you’re too

blind to see

– Bridge/solo

• You’d rather sit

there

• And watch it all

go up in flames

• Point your finger

around the circle

• Because everyone

else is to blame

– Intro-verse riff

repeated

• A knife in the

back, it’s so easy

to see

• Protrudes from

my shoulder

blades, it’s as

plain as day

• Here I am lookin’

you in eye

• All I see is a head

full of lies!

moment, trying to

keep the myth true

• Lying to yourself

that you’re on top

of the world

• Paycheck to

Paycheck, kickin’

you in the ass

• Make you cry, make

you scream

• Makes you know

you’re alive!

– Chorus

• Bulldoze your way

through the days

• What would you

miss if you slowed

it down a bit

• Bulldoze your way

through the days

• Doesn’t it seem that

we’ve all had

enough of it?

because the truth

is revolting

in a monetary

convulsion

because the truth

is revolting

really care

find a way out of

here!

eyes,

• And see through

their lies
