The Tryer 03:38
Oh what a pain To watch the acid rain Fall upon those With a frown Oh what a city It’s no crime to be sitting While they’re kicking those Who are down What a pain caught in my eye I can’t just let it pass me by I’ll be the tryer If you’ll listen up A downtown crier For when you’ve had enough I’ll stoke the fire And you can warm your hands I’ll be the tryer So we can start again We’ll start again Oh what the hell There’s too many church bells Ringing for those Of my kind Oh ain’t it pretty The pessimism in me Arguing hope Makes me blind What the hell, it’s not enough I can’t just hope, gotta be tough I’ll be the tryer If you’ll listen up A downtown crier For when you’ve had enough I’ll stoke the fire And you can warm your hands I’ll be the tryer So we can start again I’ll be the tryer If you’ll listen up A downtown crier For when you’ve had enough I’ll stoke the fire And you can warm your hands I’ll be the tryer So we can start again We’ll start again What a pain, oh, what the hell I’ll see you there, I’ll see you all And I know only time will tell If love breaks through or if we fall I’ll be the tryer If you’ll listen up A downtown crier For when you’ve had enough I’ll stoke the fire And you can warm your hands I’ll be the tryer So we can start again I’ll be the tryer If you’ll listen up A downtown crier For when you’ve had enough I’ll stoke the fire And you can warm your hands I’ll be the tryer So we can start again We’ll start again

Oxygen 04:12
You don’t understand This type of oxygen How could you understand When you don’t breathe it in I want to tell you everything I know But if I told you, I don’t think that you would get it And I want the world to see the things I see But what I say and what you see are very different You don’t understand This type of oxygen How could you understand When you don’t breathe it in I want so much to change and I know that It’s tough to rearrange a show when it’s been written But I’ve got a voice and nothing is in stone I’m prone to fear but gonna face it, I’m done sitting You don’t understand This type of oxygen How could you understand When you don’t breathe it in
 I want for everyone to understand The power’s in your hands so get into position And when I am writing that’s my fighting When I’m singing that’s the slinging of my ammunition You don’t understand This type of oxygen How could you understand When you don’t breathe it in I know, what I know And I know, that you don’t You don’t understand

Thirty 04:27
I want to live Past thirty Even if it could be hard I don’t want to Go early Only just getting my start By God I’ll live So fully I’ll be patient, loving, kind But if I’m gone By thirty You deserve some peace of mind I do not expect it I don’t expect anything Sometimes I’m not checked in Cuz I’m in my head again If you put on my shoes Tried to live a single day It would make your head spin So don’t look the other way When I might say I want to live Past thirty Even if it could be hard I don’t want to Go early Only just getting my start By God I’ll live So fully I’ll be patient, loving, kind But if I’m gone By thirty You deserve some peace of mind I’m not so egoic To be thinking legacy But if I’ve gotta go soon It would be the death of me To think that I could leave here Without kicking and screaming out For everyone before me In hopes the ones who follow now Get through somehow I want to live Past thirty Even if it could be hard I don’t want to Go early Only just getting my start By God I’ll live So fully I’ll be patient, loving, kind But if I’m gone By thirty You deserve some peace of mind

Behind my body There’s a soul It’s like a rhythm To a song Laid underneath A dulcet tone Behind my body There’s a soul I wanna be seen And heard for me And not for what my body Appears to be To be seen And heard for me Feels like it’s a distant wish Or maybe a doubtful dream But I dream on Behind my body There is might And for this soul I’ve had to fight To be understood I have to write Behind my body There is might I wanna be seen And heard for me And not for what my body Appears to be To be seen And heard for me Feels like it’s a distant wish Or maybe a doubtful dream But I dream on
