VERSE 1 It's a given... Even uninvested, it reduces me to ribbons Yet another test of a proof that's misgiven One minute you're blessed, the next you been driven to a place disgraced; losin faith in the livin A simple lil thing can wriggle deep in the brain A dimple, a crinkle, the brink of disdain A pimple on the face of all beauty, insane, Won't complain, there's no use, it's all in vain So tell me, now, how do I make the world right Please show me a way to get home in this night I'm deaf and bereft of the sense of my sight On an edge of a ledge looking down at the height Everything I knew feels so damn wrong Losing a reason to put words to song It's been so long, I'm not strong, and I can't go on But MY STORY ISN'T OVER YET CHORUS I've been found And now I'm moving onward and upward Somehow I'm going on without regrets Turn it around I will find the strength to recover Some ground My story isn't over yet Don't Believe The voice inside your head Won't Conceive The choice unless You let it own you No- body Rejoices when they're dead So please don't leave... Cuz I need.. you just As much as you need me... REFRAIN Life is a sky dive Love is a hang glide Grip on the rip tide Try not to back slide Reach, fall, laugh, cry So quick it pass by Live, love and then die Why bother ask why? VERSE 2 Every single day I die a little inside And I hide, can't confide, it conflicts with my pride, it's silly Many people say a lie to comfort the mind But I've tried, I can't find Any trick to apply, but really When we play these games it's corrupting my heart Just don't start, it ain't smart There's no gift to impart, no healing And I'm in pain but can't give up on my part Gotta stay in my lane Or this world I'll depart, unfeeling Soul's on fire and my heart's on ice Never told me where you end for startin out nice Cuz I'm lost and I'm lit and I'm locked in a vice See, I got this gift, but it's spent at a price Forgot how to learn, learned how to entice Cowards, criminals, powerless mice, Wondrin where I left my self respect But my story isn't over yet CHORUS I've been found And now I'm moving onward and upward Somehow I'm going on without regrets Turn it around I will find the strength to recover Some ground My story isn't over yet Don't Believe The voice inside your head Won't Conceive The choice unless You let it own you No- body Rejoices when they're dead So please don't leave... Cuz I need.. you just As much as you need me... VERSE 3 Lookin at a game that's beaten you Nothin really changed, I'm needin you Can't see any aim we're speedin to Seems we both dream of demons, too That's the thing with fame, it needs us to Exchange our claim on freedom, soon The fangs just drain the seed from you Gotta be insane to feed it fuel Every little molehill grows in might Suddenly the sun runs out of light Rising up, the mountain fills your sight Outta reach, the dawn turns into night Child of peace, raised by war and blight Sides of me fade, while others take flight Signs of scenes gray, with each new fright Do I even have what it takes to fight REFRAIN Life is a sky dive Love is a hang glide Grip on the rip tide Try not to back slide Reach, fall, laugh, cry So quick it pass by Live, love and then die Why bother ask why? CHORUS I've been found And now I'm moving onward and upward Somehow I'm going on without regrets Turn it around I will find the strength to recover Some ground My story isn't over yet Don't Believe The voice inside your head Won't Conceive The choice unless You let it own you No- body Rejoices when they're dead So please don't leave... Cuz I need.. you just As much as you need me...

BRIDGE (2:17) Missin ya touch, where did you go? Tryna figure out, where are we now? Gave it all up, how could we know? Built it all up, just to break it all down VERSE (3:36) Been too damn long since I seen that spark It departs, no remark, no regard, not a chance It feels so wrong when we're apart But it's been forever, can't remember romance Together we had everything, full sail We were just too young, too selfish ... Was it all along, always going to fail? Or could something been done to help it? Feel like my heart's grown as cold as a stone While everything I've known is blown away from me Cuz I'm here all alone, wait to hear from the phone Since that piece of you can't be replaced in me So I'm chasin something that's a memory In a place disgraced cuz it ain't a home And I'm facin the fact we might be history Cuz on the other end is just a dial tone.

Florida Man strips down to his birthday suit, covers himself entirely from head to toe, stem to stern in ketchup, running through the streets yelling profanities at tourists and orphans and nuns before jumping off an overpass onto a homeless guy, cutting through several large public areas and suburban yards, jumps through yer living room window, knocks your brand new fifty inch plasma screen OLED 4K 3D TV over onto the ground, shattering the television, glass coffee table and your favorite cat underneath, n then empties out and eats the contents of yer vacuum cleaner while making direct eye contact with you and masturbating furiously... Yeah, I, uh... I got nothin much to say bout that one. CHORUS Oh Florida Man (Florida Man) Oh Florida Man (and his wo-man) Cops hit her with a taser, But it didn't seem ta phase her, Florida Man (Florida Man) Oh Florida Man (Florida Man) Every local business wants him banned.

Or you'll become the very next Florida Man!
