Goodbye Kid, Hurry Home.

Well I came swinging out the gates
around the home I was raised
and now I'm writing without brakes
until they know my name
by heart
we'll start
from the ground we build our fame
and I can't wait
for the days that hold our fate
cause all I have is a little time
tell me what is truth if I can't speak my mind
so as I live and die
I take what's mine
because in the end I won't be left behind
and look
yall can't fuck with the Vick in my blood
when I leave this earth ima leave it numb
when I die
say goodbye
to the weakness in my pride
and I can't wait
for the days that hold our fate
cause all I have is a little time
tell me what is truth if I can't speak my mind
so as I live and die
I take what's mine
because in the end I won't be left behind
and I don't want to let down
all of my friends and family
cause lately I've found
a brand new strength within me
they all believe in the big things I've been dreaming
but if I let my dreams wait, they'll beat me to the grave
cause all I have is a little time
tell me what is truth if I can't speak my mind
so as I live and die
I take what's mine
because in the end I won't be left behind

as I open my eyes
I wake up to find
my friends on the couch
so I open the blinds
make breakfast and eat
get ready and clean
myself before we grab our boards
and head to the streets
and it's safe to say
today is gonna be a good good day
everything's okay
(everything's okay)
when we're living for today
(living for today)
the skies don't seem so gray
(don't seem so gray)
when we're living without shame
and from boys to men
we learn to live
through first-hand experience
my life's been great
we've seen dark days
but those dreams we have
will ease the pain
and it's safe to say
today is gonna be a good good day
everything's okay
(everything's okay)
when we're living for today
(living for today)
the skies don't seem so gray
(don't seem so gray)
when we're living without shame

Shore of the Eye

I'm on the come up
and I'm not coming down
my name has spread by your word of mouth
gotta catch my breath
before I leave the ground
when I'm there I'm gonna stick around
can't pin me down
kick me out
I'm in the clouds
and I'm feeling great
It's time to sink or swim
die or live
my finger print's on the money I make
gotta make my family proud
I guess for now
things are wild but I feel the same
as I did then
when I was a kid
the difference is
it didn't hurt to wait
with pupils wide
light shine
from the wave of the world
to the shore of the eye
and through rain and shine
I ease my mind
things will never be the same
but ill be fine
guess my bag of bones
is growing old
but I gotta do the most before I go
home
to all my friends that have moved away
I hope that college paves the way
for the life that you want to live
a steady job with your wife and kids
and I'll look back and miss
the time we spent
when we were young and lived a life of bliss
we all got paths to take
plans to make
shit I guess people change
but I feel great
with the choice I made
to write and skate
cause I don't want to waste my days before the grave
with pupils wide
light shine
from the wave of the world
to the shore of the eye
and through rain and shine
I ease my mind
things will never be the same
but ill be fine
guess my bag of bones
is growing old
but I gotta do the most before I go
home

my lungs gave out
as I gave in
to one last hit
with all my friends
before we bake and skate in the dark
hit the streets and dodge the cars
that come our way
we're in the heart
of the place
we got our start
and I won't waste a breath
with the world in my hands
over the years I've kept all my childish plans
now it's Saturday night and we're here to puke
so let's do a keg-stand and play "Fuck You"
before we head to the house
crash on the couch
wake up the same night
just to play to a crowd
and I
don't want these nights to pass me by
cause lately life's been so kind
and I won't waste a breath
with the world in my hands
over the years I've kept all my childish plans
and I'll look back on summer nights spent getting high
rolling through life with bloodshot eyes
and all the memories we have in our hearts they'll always last
and I'll always hold them close
until the day I go
