Fear Itself (Jay's Song)

To hell with complacency. There will always be something to fear. To fear…
I know Sorrow, the sister of Tomorrow. But Today’s not letting anybody get away. And She pleads, “Don’t let Apathy or Hate get to me.” Can your Courage be the Master of your fear? There are none so deaf as those who cannot hear. I fear the failings of Age. But I won’t let them get to me. Oh, no.
To hell with complacency. There will always be something to fear. Fear by any other name would still taint the Waters of Purpose.
Oh, into the bleed… With the courage to overcome. If you look out for number one, there won’t be anything to fear but yourself. So don’t lose faith in yourself. No one can change. Accept yourself. And it’s not easy to let go when you’re holding on for your life. So sit tight and enjoy the ride.
It’s always gonna be something. If it’s your boss at your job or your wealth or your health, there’s always gonna be a struggle. Nothing comes for free. But I’m not afraid. Oh, no. No I’m not afraid. I found someone to play my songs and it’s me.
To hell with complacency. There will always be something to fear. Fear by any other name would still taint the Waters of Purpose.

Homecoming

Join me in celebration. Life’s a terrible thing to waste. Can you taste it? Go on and lift your glass. Don’t let this moment pass. Face the demons in your head. You’re only as free as you let yourself be.
Get up every morning to see the light has changed. It’s time to start again but nothing’s the same. Living with self-doubt but we aren’t fading. There’s no way out so stop waiting. In order to see this through, got to choose living a life without fear or living for you.
Join me in celebration. Life’s a terrible thing to waste. Can you taste it? Go on and lift your glass. Don’t let this moment pass. Face the demons in your head. You’re only as free as you let yourself be.
Hey baby! Don’t waste it. Can you taste it? Let it be.
Life isn’t where you’re going or where you need to be. Life’s about choosing the path that sets you free. You can spend a whole life living for them. But in the end all you’ve got is this: the choices you make and the ones you loved. So live free and for yourself.
Join me in celebration. Life’s a terrible thing to waste. Can you taste it? Go on and lift your glass. Don’t let this moment pass. Face the demons in your head. You’re only as free as you let yourself be.
As the windmills turn the sky, I contemplate the day the world ends. Turn to my friend and say that, “I loved you and I wouldn’t have it any other way.” You’d think the sky was falling the way you looked at me tonight. Let’s give it another shot, baby. The timing is right.
It’s like a homecoming but we’re not coming home tonight. It’s going down now. [x6]
Join me in celebration. Life’s a terrible thing to waste. Can you taste it? Go on and lift your glass. Don’t let this moment pass. Face the demons in your head. You’re only as free as you let yourself be.

Growing Pains

I thought growing pains were something you grew out of. You never change. Still so hard to face your fears. Don’t be afraid.
Grit in my hair, truth in the lies. Puts the pain in my eyes. I can’t help but see how to get back to how it used to be.
I don’t know how to take this. So much has changed. The way I feel today won’t mean anything tomorrow.
I thought growing pains were something you grew out of. You never change. Still so hard to face your fears. Don’t be afraid. The time has come. Make the change.
Oh growing pains, you never grow out of. Oh growing pains, you never change.
I thought growing pains were something you grew out of. You never change. It’s still so hard to face your fears but don’t be afraid. The time has come to make the change, to make the change. Oh, these growing pains.

House That Jack Built

3 a.m. when the phone rings. He’s alone again. She’s out with friends. Remembering better days, but it’s the last time. For the voice on the line breaks the news to him.
Just let it sink in. There is nothing left to take. Give it away. It is all going up in smoke. Build her up, then tear it down. Keep your foundation strong. You won’t crumble for long.
Scattered splinters from the shattered mirror of memory. He sits in the House that Jack built, painting shadows on the walls. If she’s gone, what’s he got left to give? Now his longing has a name- it goes by the name of Misery.
Just let it sink in. There is nothing left to take. Give it away. It is all going up in smoke. Build her up, then tear it down. Keep your foundation strong. You won’t crumble for long.
The truth and the fiction, separated by words better left unsaid. You should never ask questions you don’t want the answers to. It’s not in what you’re saying. It’s all in the delivery. And now his longing- it has a name.
You’ve made a name for yourself [x12?]
What’s the use in pretending that your longing means a thing? All of your longing don’t mean anything [x2]. (Just let her go) There is nothing left to take. Give it away. (Just let it sink in) You won’t crumble for long. Let it sink in. [x2] Just let her go. Just let it sink in. [x2] Going up in smoke. Ooooo… just let her go.

Remember Your Heart

And I wait for the end of your love. But that day will never come.
And I could write you a love song but it would never be enough. But you give me the words just like you always do.
I’ve seen the dark and I’ve seen the light. And I know it will be all right if you always remember your heart.
I give but I can’t take. When you go, you take my strength. In myself now I have lost my faith. I held back when I should have let go. Guess it was you who kept me whole. Now I will never forget your heart.
I’ve seen the dark and I’ve seen the light. And I know it will be all right if you always remember your heart. Yes, always remember your heart.
Wait… wait… wait… I will wait.
I’ve seen the dark and I’ve seen the light. And I know it will be all right if you always remember your heart. Yes, always remember your heart. Yes, always remember your heart.
