ISSUES LYRICS

1. Hooligans

Catch me running around the town if you can
My heart on my sleeve and the world in my hands
Where do we go where do we stand
You dream but you never move so don't be mad when I do

Patiently waiting to give up everything I got
Start thinking about my future at the number one spot
My friends think they lost me
But I'm still the same me

Hooligans got big hearts
But they're just some kids
Cali made flashy sins
Need nobody cause we know where we fit in

I'm so close to the edge of the life that I sacrificed and strived for
But you've buried everything we used to fight for
That we used to fight for
Set it off

Patiently waiting to give up everything I got
Start thinking about my future at the number one spot
My friends think they lost me
But I would never change

And I would sell out my pride when everybody wanna
Say you never gave a damn bout your boys in the first place
Old Dena raised me
And the road will never change me

Hooligans got big hearts
But they're just some kids
Cali made flashy sins
Need nobody cause we know where we fit in

To everyone who stuck around
This one's for you
They may say we're a lost cause
But they don't see what I do

Hooligans got big hearts
But they're just some kids
Cali made flashy sins
Need nobody cause we know where we fit in

2. Disappear

Remember when I didn't need you
Well I need you now
To hold my head up high say...

Some days I feel like a saint, I'm so alive
Some days I can't make any moves
It's like I have no spine
Can't do anything right
And when midnight comes I've run out of time to
Make some kind of difference
I constantly overlook the impact I've made
Maybe I'm longing to change my own face
To make you proud, I wanna make you proud
When you're looking down on me

My mind's wide open like starry skies
I ask God questions and wonder why
The hell that you're not here
I wanna disappear with you now

But I'm a selfish broken heart and how I got this far
Coping with the thought of holding you a minute longer in my arms is beyond me
I set you free

A product of a free world
Take wing over the coast of a better day
I'm stuck in my dark days
But I can be stronger than you remember
We're coming up on December, but I'm not cold

My mind's wide open like starry skies
I ask God questions and wonder why
The hell that you're not here
I wanna disappear with you now

Remember when I didn't need you
Well I need you now
To hold my head up high say it's all better child
Remember when I was alone and crying out
You will be missed
I'm gonna miss you
But I know you're all better now

3. King Of Amarillo

It just seems like another fake scene
With no real message and a ton of fake things
And I feel it inside that I live for my team
My team is my fans and I got a purpose to serve them
With songs about having fun and getting real
But I also write about being real, so they feel
Like somebody's listening and somebody cares
So listen when I say

And I can't wait to say whatever, and I can't wait to shed some light
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life
And I can't wait to be whoever, and I can't wait to speak my mind
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life

And I had a vision so livid
Dipped into a coma after selfish incisions
Cutting into my ego
Deep into my dreams, oh
Forgot the struggle, thought we were too hot
To work for something, change a couple lives
Stop thinking about the pace,
Try to focus on the climb
Re-written to open your eyes and shed some light
On us, not anyone else
So get the drama out your mind

And I can't wait to say whatever, and I can't wait to shed some light
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life
And I can't wait to be whoever, and I can't wait to speak my mind
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life

If they let you into heaven then I'd rather go to hell
You think you're buying your way to the top with all that bullshit that you sell
God's not naive like the fans you deceive. Even the devil was an angel what the fuck did he achieve?

How about you listen to your soul and forget fame
You could still have a fucking name
I took it too far
I know the truth hurts, but if you're scared
Bitch, go to church

And I can't wait to say whatever, and I can't wait to shed some light
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life
And I can't wait to be whoever, and I can't wait to speak my mind
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life

4. Princeton Ave

What is a man, who lays a hand on his lover, and calls it tough love
What is a man, who can't take a stand for his daughter, and calls it tough love
Man enough to see man enough to see, there ain't a goddamn man in me

Take me back to a date, before I was hostile and learned to hate you

And I swear that it's just like fate would have it
That I would be different but I'm just like you
You swore you'd never become

What is a man, who lays a hand on his lover, and calls it tough love
What is a man, who can't take a stand for his daughter, and calls it tough love
Man enough to see man enough to see, there ain't a goddamn man in me

Hotel rooms, bourbon, and broads, a drifter thinking about living a life without God
You've done it now, you planted a seed, it's like the devil in me
now the storm inside you, it swallows her

And to think you said you would never become

And I know life can be so strange but I know I can make a change I'm gonna wipe away the clouds for ya

I'm gonna be around for ya, I'm gonna paint the town for ya, I'm gonna make a promise to give you everything you want and need, but she fucked up now, cause she's bearing another mouth you can't feed

You promised yourself you would never become, a storm a blackout replicating the one
The thunder inside him became your life and you called him your best friend till the day you were nine

Hotel rooms, bourbon, and broads, a drifter living life, without God
You've done it now, you planted a seed, now the storm inside you, it swallows her

And I know life can be so strange but I know I can make a change I'm gonna wipe away the clouds for ya

I'm gonna be around for ya, I'm gonna paint the town for ya, I'm gonna make a promise to give you everything you want and need, but she fucked up now, cause she's bearing another mouth you can't feed

What is a man, who lays a hand on his lover, and calls it tough love
What is a man, who can't take a stand for his daughter, and calls it tough love
Man enough to see man enough to see, there ain't a goddamn man in me

5. Diamond Dreams

Move a little closer
What are you afraid of?
Set the night on fire
Baby, burn it up

Tattooed on your chest
ISSUES
Move a little closer
What are you afraid of?

6. Tears On The Runaway Pt. 2

What if I was wrong, and jumped to conclusions
Cause the chance of losing you was all too dangerous
So I just assume that you're doing things before you get the chance
So I can leave and feel like I've got the upper hand
Guilty yeah, maybe I'm just scared to go all in
Never was much for the life of gambling
But you can't win if you don't play
If you don't play there's no shame in us
Let's call a spade a spade

Cause you left your tears on the runway
You think you're running away
And you're leaving all your troubles behind
But I'm not going with you this time
I don't wanna try to pretend I'm somebody else
Take me as I am or be left alone
Tears on the runway
You know that you love the chase

I said I wouldn't let you down
But it's like we both have changed somehow
You've made a disease of this town
But you act like you don't care but you left

A wise woman said, I wish people weren't afraid of love
Then she packed her shit and ran
Like a coward when the thunder struck

Cause you left your tears on the runway
You think you're running away
And you're leaving all your troubles behind
But I ain't with you this time
I don't wanna try to pretend I'm somebody else
Take it or leave it
Tears on the runway
You know that you love the chase
Baby love
You know me too well
You know me too well
You know that I love the chase

7. NLYF x Neck Deep

Riddle me this, I gotta figure it out
Are they laughing at me
Because I'm prone to fear and doubt
Am I messed up, am I loud
Well eat my dust that's all I am a speck out in the crowd
I'm trying to clean up the mess I made
But the towel I used to soak up my worry it just went up in flames
You see I got a conscience like gasoline
I could siphon shit out, fuck it and leave
But, I fuel the fire with everything they said it's stuck in my mind
You're better off dead
If you got the keys then start the car and
Drive as far as you can
If you got the blood then you got the heart to
Give yourself a chance
Seems like we've been so scarred
Some people call it art
I hope you make peace with your pain
And never lose your flames
Misunderstood, I'm misunderstood
I will live to my fullest because I owned my name the best I could
How much does it hurt?
To live like we live like everybody else
Or am I better off dead
Feeling like I’m nothing’s something that I’m getting used to
Trying to devise a plan that’s positively fool proof
Nobody can see me past these walls that I’ve been building
Now it’s starting to cave in but I won’t give up
If you got the keys then start the car and
Drive as far as you can
If you got the blood then you got the heart to
Give yourself a chance
Seems like you've been so scarred
Some people call it art
I hope you make peace with your pain
And never lose your flames
Feeling like I’m nothing’s something that I’m getting used to
Wanting to fit in, I always wanted to be perfect to you
I gotta get up out this bed
If you can see inside my head, you understand I got to give up
Feeling like I’m nothing’s something that I’m getting used to
trying to devise a plan that’s positively fool proof
nobody can see me past these walls that I’ve been building
Now it’s starting to cave in but I won’t give up
If you got the keys then start the car and
Drive as far as you can
If you got the blood then you got the heart to
Give yourself a chance
Seems like you've been so scarred
Some people call it art
I hope you make peace with your pain
And never lose your flames

8. The Worst Of Them

Funny how every time you push me away, you turn around and you beg me to stay
Cut down by the things you say, it's the beating of a broken drum
One of these days you'll push me away, turn around it'll be too late

Your love is addictive, trying hard just to quit it
But you're drowning yourself you won't catch a breath until you admit it
Is anybody out there, I'm dying in a nightmare
You got third degree burns and now it's your turn to feel what I feel
And if it don't hurt then you know what we got ain't real

Funny how every time you push me away, you turn around and you beg me to stay
Cut down by the things you say
One of these days you'll push me away, turn around it'll be too late

Your love is a monster, it's eating me alive
Let go of my hand you don't give a damn and it's killing me inside
You show me no mercy, did God make a mistake?
Put a hole in your heart and then you can start to feel what I feel
And if it don't hurt then you know what we got ain't real

Funny how every time you push me away, you turn around and you beg me to stay

One of these days you'll push me away, turn around it'll be too late
