I'm Done
Running this race it seems
like the sky is falling
to pieces
And I
fight it everyday
like a cancer to my brain
I don't need this
Oh, woah is me!
Same pathetic story
I always reveled in my own glory
reality is
This
My old life do i miss
I was a step away from bliss
Now war,
I'm Waging
I'm Done being the boss, always so focused on my selfish cause
I'm Done with all this loss, seeking glory, but never Yours
I'm Done thinking
this bad is caused by me
It happens either way
No matter what I'd do or say
Done trying so hard
Keeping up my guard
Caring what others think of me
In the end, I'm all I'll be
I'm Done
Trying to be the best
yet avoiding the real test
Oh, I'm failing
And You?
Would you take me as I am
even though I cannot walk
perfectly
I'll never be the man my brain and heart desire to be.
But if you give me time, I might go and find the very next best thing
So, what do you say we dance?
Unite in divine romance
How cool would that be?!
I'm Done finding excuse
Justifying all the bad I choose
I'm Done trying to fight
everything you've taught me that is right
I'm Done thinking
this bad is caused by me
It happens either way
No matter what I'd do or say
Done trying so hard
Keeping up my guard
Caring what others think of me
In the end, I'm all I'll be
I'm done
I'm done
So done...
Lead me, guide me, walk beside me
Help me find my way back
Teach me all that i must do
To walk on straighter tracks
I'm Done thinking
this bad is caused by me
It happens either way
No matter what I'd do or say
Done trying so hard
Keeping up my guard
Caring what others think of me
In the end, You're more than Me!
I'm Done
I'm Done
I'm Done
What a wake up call
That's it, I'm Done
lyrics by B. Schwimmer
Track 2;
" Right (Album Version) "
Oh Life,
Why do we fight?
And when will we be okay?
So many,
Seem to have plenty
Yet all I do is fade away.
Yeah
Bad dreams
my past haunts me
A boy, caught up in the greed
Woah
I'm hard-wired
So sick and tired of
The life, I think I need.
Still, doesn't it kill?
I wanna be a star,
Not some run-of-the-mill.
And my heart may not be filthy,
But I guess I'm just as guilty
Yes my
Hands are dirty
Disaster, flirting.
My brain's not working Right.
And I go
Ring-a-round the roses
I'm just a stupid poser
We all fall down sometimes...
Doesn't make it Right
Busy world
Busy boys
Pretty girls
...how could you be so bold?
Phonies with flip phones,
focused on zip codes,
while people lay dead in the cold.
Your friends laugh
at the joke you just passed,
at the expense of your next of kin.
Yeah
Yeah you're gorgeous,
you already know this,
but you're so vacuous within.
You've been dealt a bad hand:
doesn't even equate.
How you treat yourself and others
with such blatant hate.
I wish these mirrors would show the REAL you,
Maybe then you'll face the truth!
Your
Hands are dirty
Disaster, flirting
Your brain's not working Right.
And we go
Ring-a-round the roses
We're sick of being posers
We all fall down sometimes...
Hey, doesn't make it Right.
Time, it's on our side
Let's hope for the best
And never look back to old
Regrets,
They're in the past.
The hurting will last
But only if you let our
Hands! When will they be?
Unaffected and clean?
...It seems to early.
Who? are we to rate?
Mistakes that we made?
We'll heal in ways unearthly.
Was there ever a time?
In your book of life?
When everything felt just so Right?
Don't you wish you'd go back?
Well maybe we can!
The pen is still in all our:
Hands are dirty
Disaster, flirting
Our brain's not working Right.
And we go
Ring-a-round the roses
We're sick of being posers
We all fall down sometimes.

Track 3:
" Little Lies "
Big fish
Small bowl
Have you ever swam in the ocean?
The waves they push and pull
till you drown in your own distortion
You're bright-eyed and ready for fame.
Living the big life
people screaming your name.
You'll soon find out it's no game,
When you're crucified, scrutinized
and you are to blame
Little Lies
They can
Make you feel
Super-Human
So Imma take my mask off
Little Lies
They will
Make you feel
Unreal
So Imma be real right now
And tell you that you'll never amount
Big dog
Small yard
Have you ever ran near the ocean?
Do you need an ice pack?
The swelling in your head's
gone out of proportion.
I've been there before,
not gonna lie.
17,000,000 votes:
maybe a couple shy.
Through all this
I have learned
Keep your head on straight
But be prepared to be burned
Little Lies
They can
Make you feel
Super-Human
So Imma take my mask off
Little Lies
They will
Make you feel
Unreal
So Imma be real right now
And tell you that you'll never amount
Woah
Little Lies
Woah
Little Lies
They can
Make you feel
Super-Human
So Imma take my mask off
Little Lies
They will
Make you feel
Unreal
So Imma be real right now
And tell you that you'll never amount

Track 4:
" Once (This is Your Life) "
Stop right there
don't you see what's happening?
Dead, you're not here.
Heart monitor ringing
OUt, goes the lights
This was a big surprise
You, had your plans...
A Long Vivacious Life!
No pearly gates
an empty movie screen
Star of your show
A real reality
Die-rectors " unedited " to provide.
If, your life's work...
Will Stand the Test of time!
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Cause This Is Your Life
And you know it!
What do you have to show for it?
You only live Once
So I suggest you don't blow it
Now it's scary to think
By the time your eyes blink
You might just end up in front
of the Reviewer's seat.
This Is Your Life
(guest rap section/lyrics by Tahir Jahi will be provided soon)
Lest we forget ourselves
There's something
high and mightier than you and I
Of all the stories of old,
Yours has already been told
Just hold on what to is Light
No no...
Need to live in the dark
Inside you there is a spark
Just hold on
Watch it ignite...
Cause This Is Your Life
And you know it!
What do you have to show for it?
You only live Once
So I suggest you don't blow it
Now it's scary to think
By the time your eyes blink
You might just end up in front
of the Reviewer's seat.
Cause This Is Your Life
And you know it!
What do you have to show for it?
You only live Once
So I suggest you don't blow it
Now it's scary to think
By the time your eyes blink
You might just end up in front
of the Reviewer's seat.
This Is Your-

Track 5:
" Tag "
So many reasons
So many " whys "
So many moments
Ive simply denied
Your hand extended
I ran so fast
But now I face You
Let's make this last
'Cuz
Where you go
Is where I'll go
Where You go
Is where I wanna go
How are you?
I wanna know
wanna know
wanna know what's up
Are we good?
Cause I want:
You, yes you're all I want and could have asked for
I guess this means that I love You
Yes you're all I want and could have asked for
I guess, this means I love You
Im afraid I can't keep this up
Yes you say I have the right stuff
But I doubt in myself so much
Say You'll be there
To pick me up
Is where you go
where I go?
Where you go
is where I wanna go
what to do?
I gotta know
gotta know
gotta know what's up
Are you strong?
Cause I can't:
Fall in love without wanting to back out
And tho i know that I love you
Never fall in love without wanting to back out
and yet i know that I love You
Tag
So many reasons
so many " why's "
So many blessings
I simply denied
Your hand extended
I ran so far
But now I'm with You
Take my heart
'cuz
Where you go
Is where I go
Where you go is where I wanna go, so
What to do?
I'm ready now
ready now
to make this one up.
Are we good?
Cause I won't:
Fall out of love
Fall out of touch
Fall out of sync with You.
Wait till you see me now
I'm running for You!
I'm all about You
nothing without You
That's right,
I love you.

Track 6:
" Bury "
Hello hello,
I'm talking to you
Steam off, mirrors
Yeah, I'm looking at you
You are me
Don't you get it?
Can't you see?
Remember this...
It was so long ago so why am I remembering now?
Caressed on my shoulder, sparked visions, they came pouring out
This could be the cause of my unhappiness
You touched me in a way, I'll never forget
I did and I hated it
That I should Bury
the pain and just fake it
There are no other words to describe it
You childhood murderer
God forgive you for your sins...
But I can't...
Not yet, anyway...
Hello, hello
I'm talking to you
visiting hours
we're in the same room
You aren't me
do you regret it?
please don't speak...
I think, you're pathetic.
It was so long ago, so why am I recalling the day?
Your hands upon me in, disturbing, unnatural ways
Solving this...
Became my obsession
It took me 15 years of digging through such deep repression.
I did and I hated it
That I should Bury
this pain and just fake it
There are no other words to describe it
You childhood murderer
God forgive-
standing behind me with the door closed
being a doctor, I never supposed that
you'd do the things you did to me that day
(voice of a child)
Uh Oh...
Standing behind me with the door closed
Being a doctor never supposed
You'd do the things you did to-
This 8 year old!
standing behind me with the door closed
being a doctor, I never supposed that
you'd do the things you did to me that day
I did and I hated it
That I should Bury
the pain and just fake it
There are no other words to describe it
You childhood murderer
God forgive you for your sins...
Not yet
I'm not ready
Track 7:
" Family Vacation " a duet with my sister, Lacey Schwimmer
Pictures on the mantel
Are picking up dust
No one to clean them
Good. It covers lies
Through all of our smiles
Performance victims
She listens as they bicker
I wanna protect her
I'll never forget their faces
as, to us they passed
some boarding passes
our bags were already packed
Takin' a trip.
Sippin' on some coconut juice
and hoping that their attitude, would
change a bit
enough to fix this and not just
"Do it for the kids "
But let's be honest
We all know that it's not working out
So why do we keep on waiting?
Whose idea was it anyway to save us with
A Family Vacation
Problems will return
Upon returning from your destination
In he-insight didn't you know
That things would go as in most cases?
Divorce, of course Hawaii is always enticing
but you would be lying
if you think
that God could keep us
together and teach us
through sandy beaches, Ha!
Takin' a trip.
Sippin' on some coconut juice
and hoping that their attitude, would
change a bit
enough to fix this and not just
"Do it for the kids "
But let's be honest
We all know that it's not working out
So why do we keep on waiting?
Whose idea was it anyway to save us with
A Family Vacation
If the love you had was not enough to ever last
How do you think a nice hotel could bring it all back?
So let's, just, except the situation
and abort this Family Vacation!
Though Hawaii is nice
Pajama-bottom mornings
burnt hash browns on our plates
The best times were,
in the checker-board kitchen
You held us together in dance position
but it cannot replace
Pajama-bottom mornings
burnt hash browns on our plates
The best times were,
in the checker-board kitchen
You held us together in dance position
Takin' a trip.
Sippin' on some coconut juice
and hoping that their attitude, would
change a bit
enough to fix this and not just
"Do it for the kids "
But let's be honest
We all know that it's not working out
So why do we keep on waiting?
Whose idea was it anyway to save us with
A Family Vacation.

Track 8:
" Sun "
" Let your light shine ", she said, to me...
why is it when,
I follow my head,
it should be my heart,
I knew from the start
life came crashing bye,
so far from the light
that I once knew was truth
now Im living a lie
dark, dark and cold
Here, I'm so alone
oh, I miss You so
I'd love to flee
And start to breathe again
Believe again
Please, take hold of me
It's so hard to leave
I want to be right back in those arms
where it is safe
I once knew this place
where You're not just a star
but You're the (Sun)
" Let your light shine ", he said, to me...
I've had a taste,
of this cruel world unfeigned
of feeling disgraced,
of being ashamed
Yes we all fall down sometimes
I've said it before
Only one ' try '
there won't be another...
Chance,
Take a stance
and fight to be free again
to be " me " again
Woah, time has past,
Was I made to last?
Or destined to crash?
Please, take hold of me
It's so hard to leave
I want to be right back in those arms
where it is safe
I once knew this place
where you're not just a star
but you're the
Please, take hold of me
It's so hard to leave
I want to be right back in those arms
where it is safe
I once knew this place
where you're not just a star
but you're the (Sun)
did you miss me?
I sure missed you.
did you miss me?
did you miss me?
So....
Please, take hold of me
It's so hard to leave
I want to be right back in those arms
where it is safe
I once knew this place
where you're not just a star
but you're the Sun
You're the Sun
Oh yeah
The Sun
Eres mi Sol
Yes you're the Sun!
Yeah
Oh yeah
Please, take hold of me
It's so hard to leave
I want to be right back in those arms
where it is safe
I once knew this place
where you're not just a star
but you're the Sun!
It's so hard to leave
I want to be right back in your arms
to where it is safe
I once knew this place
where you're not just a star
but you're the
Please!
Take hold of me
It's so hard to leave
I want to be right back in those arms
where it is safe
I once knew this place
where you're not just a star
but you're the Sun!
where I'm not just a ' star '
Track 9:
" Doubt "
Thing will be alright now.
Because
Epiphanies.
Sweet soul symphonies,
Spoke peace to my heart.
Fears, I had.
Now I'm feeling so glad.
Let's start, with-
Floods of devotion
Cross every ocean
All this commotion
Woah, the emotion!
Anything I'd ever want or could need.
Doubt... I don't feel it now!
I think it knows I've found
Doubt! i don't feel it now
Mind made up
Hope, I nearly gave up
For what?
It's bright out
Light is in my sight now
Because
You entered my life and never
Turned me away
Never thought it'd be
Oh so easy to
hear you say " Yes. "
Spring came early
Birds are chirping
Gospel choirs sing
" Wedding bells ring! "
Anything I'd ever want or could need.
Doubt... I don't feel it now!
I think it knows I've found
Doubt! i don't feel it now
You knew this endeavor would never end no never ever.
Let's grow old together, die and then we'll live forever.
Anything I'd ever want or could need.
Doubt... I don't feel it now!
I think it knows I've found
Doubt! i don't feel it now!
Doubt! I don't want it now!
Doubt! I don't see it now!
Doubt! I don't believe it now!
Doubt! I don't feel it now.
Yes, you're all I'll ever want and could have asked for,
I, know that I love You....
Lyrics by B. Schwimmer
" The Scenic Route "
not where "you're" going?
It's hard to gauge
I'm turning circles
You walk in straight lines
Why? People change.
Running on empty
I don't care
All I really know is that time has been unfair
For us, to survive
God knows I try
Maybe we expected too much too soon
The car's unlocked
Mixtape on blast
Let's say a prayer
hope we don't crash
This here's our saving revelation
Our joy is found in journeys,
and not their destinations
So let's take The Scenic Route this time
and enjoy ourselves for miles and miles
It's not till we arrive
but it's while we're alive
So let's just
You, me, be.
Is it just me or, am I going crazy?
I've dropped the ball
The people I love most
So present, now they're ghosts
You, above all
I pushed them all away,
though, I do care
And all I really know is that
Time, has been unfair
For me to thrive
You know I try
Maybe we expected too much too soon
The car's unlocked
Mix tape on blast
Let's say a prayer
hope we don't crash
This here's our saving revelation
Our love is found in journeys
And not their destinations
So let's take The Scenic Route this time
and enjoy ourselves for miles and miles
It's not till we arrive
but it's while we're alive
So let's just
You, me, be.
Or nothing...
So let's take The Scenic Route this time
and enjoy ourselves for miles and miles
It's not till we arrive
but it's while we're alive
So let's just
You, me-
Take The Scenic Route this time
and enjoy ourselves for miles and miles
It's not till we arrive
but it's while we're alive
So let's just
You, me, be.
" My Place "
Doubt...
Is creeping in again
I know second tier isn't bad
but I still wanna win
And the odds are not in my favor this time
Cause he's bigger
She's better
They're stronger
But here's the bottom line-
I may not sing like ' him '
And I can't dance like ' her '
And maybe my style ain't much
But I still got my worth
They say i don't belong
Yeah, the truth: It hurts
But I'll find My Place,
Of that, I'm sure
Woah
If all the world's forces combined
Yeah, of course I'd be blind to think
That I could win
A race against the tide
Though I'd strive to find inside
A force that'd help me never give in
From the pressures of age
To what is the ' rage '
To wondering if I've got what it takes
Should I shrink from the fight?
Or just jump and take flight?
And hope that i land safe,
And find My Place
I may not sing like ' him '
And I can't dance like ' her '
And maybe my style ain't much
But I still got my worth
They say i don't belong
Yeah, the truth: It hurts
But I'll find My Place,
Of that, I'm sure
Woah
Heaven's near,
Now You're here, with me.
They say i don't belong
Yeah, the truth: It hurts
But I will find My Place,
On God's green earth!
Woah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
My bags are packed
I'm ready to run
Just tell me what to do
And there, I will go
Living this life,
Under the Sun,
Is better than where I've been or where I'm from.
And now we go,
On to My Place
The only way I'll know it
Is if i see your face.
Take me there,
Because My Place is your own.
Yeah
I love you so.
Please take me home
I wanna go home
Will you take me home?
Yeah.
Running
Faster than i can
Come back for me
It was you, who
Sent me on this road
With hopes to set me free
But where are you now?
I look left, right, up, down.
And all I can see is
One pair of footprints
On this beaten path
When it's two I need
You promised that you'd be
Always here with me
Unknown Walk
Unknown Walk
Won't you pick me up?
So I'll stop feeling stuck
Unknown Walk
Unknown Walk
40 days and 40 nights...
It's been longer than that.
All ye all ye
All outs and all ye free
You hide, i seek
Lessons I have learned
Touch fire, i get burned
Stronger yet still weak
Moments of despair
Guess you've always been there
My life's in your care
Probably think it's insane
Why I constantly complain (when)
You've cleared this terrain
You promised that you'd be
Always here with me
Unknown Walk
Unknown Walk
Feet don't hit the ground
When you're Heaven Bound
Unknown Walk
Unknown Walk
40 days and 40 nights...
It's been longer than this...
So take me
Break me
No forsaking
Just remake me
And embrace me with
Your mighty arms of Love.
Oh.
Whoever wrote " Footprints " was wrong.
Cause you even carry me when I am strong.
It was you, who
Sent me on this road
With hopes to set me free
Unknown I walk....
