Growing under the skin From beginning to end Wave after wave Feel the pressure within Eyes cannot hide What’s carried inside Living a lie Fight or flight will decide Push to the light Brace for the fight It’s not about wrong or right Aim big, miss small Get back up when you take a fall Shout it out, wear it proud Don’t you ever let it keep you down Cause the winner takes all Upon a ledge Staring over the edge The monster inside Controlling the head Irrational thought Unbearable cross Fixating and waiting Till there’s nothing but loss Struggle defines The human design It’s all how we spend our time Aim big, miss small Get back up when you take a fall Shout it out, wear it proud Don’t you ever let it keep you down Aim big, miss small Get back up when you lose it all Shout it out, wear it proud Don’t you ever let it keep you down Cause the winner takes all The winner takes all Dream big, aim small Get back up if you take a fall Shout it out, wear it proud Don’t you ever let it get you down Think big, miss small If your backs up against the wall Shout it out, wear it proud And never let it keep you down Cause the winner takes all Yes the winner takes all

Click-clack, Snapchat This is where the money’s at No filter and no shame Wham bam, Instagram Price to pay for being glam Addiction is a part of the game. Tick tock, back on the clock Spreading like vines all of the time Vanity flows thru your veins Take 1, take 2 This is all you wanna do Then 3, 4 Push it just a little more Mirror mirror on the wall Who’s got it perfect Who’s got it all Mind the gap before your taking the fall Just another Another phenobarbiedoll Profile Update Self-important reprobate Such a pretty image such a pretty face But you got a viral SMD A social media disease Hashtag so sad, checkmate Snap 5 now 6 Self-important ego fix Seven then eight Look at me I’m really great Mirror mirror on the wall Who’s got it perfect Who’s got it all Mind the gap before your taking the fall Just another Another phenobarbiedoll Mirror mirror on the wall Does anybody really care for you at all They say that pride comes before the fall Just another Another phenobarbiedoll Mirror mirror, Mirror on the wall New scene same dream Same fake news feed Sell me, sell you Share it all gotta get more views Sleight of hand Hock my brand Whitened teeth with a perfect tan Great shape, sex tape Retweet refrain Mirror mirror on the wall Who’s got it perfect Who’s got it all Mind the gap before your taking the fall Just another Another phenobarbiedoll Mirror mirror on the wall Do I care, not anymore I tried to tell you, you were headed for a fall Your just another Another phenobarbiedoll

I have given my all My blood, sweat, my tears I ran right through the walls I chased down all my fears Now I long for a time when peace finds my mind There’s nothing inside that tells me I’m fine I feel half alive I don't dream anymore I don't believe anymore I don't feel anymore I just feel alone When my hope is gone What do I wish for It’s hard to move on Can't recognize home When I don’t dream anymore Enough is enough I never turned a blind eye But the problems of the world Still haunt my mind Aspirations to change Seems so out of range A price already paid, gets harder every day So I'm just afraid I don't dream anymore I don't believe anymore I don't feel anymore I just feel alone When my hope is gone What do I wish for It’s hard to move on Can't recognize home When I don’t dream anymore I don't dream anymore I don't believe anymore I don't feel anymore I just feel alone When my hope is gone What do I wish for I try to move on Can't recognize home When I don’t dream anymore

There’s something about you and I That just won’t let me go When I crossed the room towards you Felt my heart drop right to the floor A touch of your hand Takes me back in time Something so strong Still burning inside I love that’s too hot, I forgot Until I saw your face Is this love, was it love What am I feeling Heart’s on fire, pure desire Fever’s rising slow Is this love, was it love What am I feeling Was it wrong to move on Sometimes I just don’t know (Get Back) The candlelight flickers Your body quivers in the flames That old spark is triggered In all of its glory and shame Is this love, was it love What am I feeling Heart’s on fire, pure desire Fever’s rising slow Is this love, was it love What am I feeling Was it wrong the past is gone Why can’t I just say no (Get Back) I need to get back home, let you live on as a memory But the curve of your hips and those sexy red lips disarms me The smell of your skin The flip of your hair Those burning blue eyes It’s the way that you stare If I kiss your cheek I’ll get weak It’s the moment I fear Is this love, was it love What am I feeling Heart’s on fire, pure desire Fever’s rising slow Is this love, was it love What am I feeling Was it wrong to move on I guess we’ll never know Why can’t I let you go

Baby ride with me In this old Pontiac Feel the rush flow thru us now You know it’s way past time to see If you really want me to take us back Come on, come on, come on and let me show you how If you wanna know what I know All you gotta do is just push play If you wanna go where I go All you gotta do is just push play Do you need to find you a reason Something to believe in If you wanna feel what I feel All you gotta do is just push play Just push play With my hand upon your knee Cruising down Virginia street Remember how young we used to be When we were eighteen wild and free No kids, no bills, no looking back Gotta let go, gotta give in for what you need If you wanna know what I know All you gotta do is just push play If you wanna go where I go All you gotta do is just push play Do you need to find you a reason Something to believe in So take me by the hand and let's go All you gotta do is just push play I am your reason to push play Why don't you just push play Come on and just push play Let's reminisce Relive flashbacks, moments in time Recapture memories Of when I captured your eye We used to sky write rapture Like fire and ashes Push my play button All the sudden it flashes The moment I'm after That look and the laughter Drum hits and trumpets A track we remaster But life's spinning faster In this digital age We need to getaway To just push play So take me by the hand and let's go All you gotta do is just push play We could have it all don't you know Take a chance and just push play You'll find that reason Something more to hold onto Something more to believe in You're all I see and push play Just push play All you gotta do is just push play

Shine On 02:59
We are from a different culture We aren't a different breed We're all trudging thru this bullshit Plagued by the same disease It's so hard to see these things clearly So appreciate the view My eyes ain’t your prescription It doesn’t mean I’m blind to you So shine on Shine a light so we can clearly see It’s not just you and me that needs change Shine a light and come out from the dark Letting goes the easy part, just be brave And shine on Rise above the petty Fight the fight you feel within Tune out those other voices Let your light grow from within Even if you hate me brother I still will call you my friend We can try to kill each other But we both know that will never end So shine on Shine a light and don’t you buy the hate Take a chance, appreciate We’re the same Shine a light so you can find your way Because I’m here to stay, so I’ll say let’s shine on Shine a light so we can clearly see It’s not just you and me that needs change Shine a light and come out from the dark Letting goes the easy part, just be brave And shine on

On the trail again Snake oil, and pandering Always out on parade You hope you swing my vote Lies wrapped up in a quote Always on a crusade Ooh yeah Everybody got smiles for miles Throwing knives across the aisle How much more should we take Let me clarify what I mean Pulling strings behind the scenes Your armor’s starting to break You’re in a constant state of a selfie face Forever been this way, things will never change You’re in a constant state of a selfie face It’s gotten pretty strange, how’d we get so vain Take a pause maybe break it down Save the drama for the network clowns All counterfeit, straight-up fakes While these pontiffs, preachers, and shaikhs Elephants, Donkeys, and Snakes All selling us our own fate They’re in a constant state of a selfie face Pass around the plate, offer up, donate We’re in a constant state, complicate, can’t relate It’s gotten pretty strange, it’s driving me insane We’re in a constant state of a selfie face We’re in a constant state of a selfie face We’re in a constant state of a selfie face We’re in a constant state, complicate, can’t relate It’s gotten pretty strange, Everyone’s the same Things have got to change before it’s much too late And we’ve all gone insane
