lyrics

Stories

caught in the pain
everything to lose
everything to gain

chorus

caught in the pain
everything to lose
everything to gain
so confused
no one to blame
story of my life, life, life, life (2x)

stop comparing
but its so hard
when its all around me
and I still got no job
best friend a doctor
other friend a lawyer
other friend's famous
oh my god
and they all younger
did they just have more hunger?
is fate playing hide and seek?
sometimes I wonder
where the hell is that life?
what's affecting my flight?
where the hell is my wife?
or at least Mrs. Right
or at least for tonight
can I least take you home?
cause i need to vent on something
more than songs
I'm more than whats shown
more than whats known
this woe is me poetry
flows in my bones
recording alone at night
it seems my soul's on ice
I'm a man so
I'm s'posed to fight
Mr. Dreamer hope you're right

chorus

can't get respect from the bloggers
can't get respect from the labels
and my own city sleeping on me
now i'm really getting so unstable
gotta step it up another notch
though i got my eyes on the clock
never drank but i swear right now
man I need a shot of the scotch
need a little puff of the haze
just a li' something to blaze
hope won't work
so I need more for these uncomfortable days
oh wait now i'm on tour
and I think that might cure
or at least sideline
everything thus far i've endured
no more woe is me
these moments heaven sent
chasing my dreams
the longest i've ever ran
tell me why I still feel pain?
tell me why the shit don't change?
tryna make it to the top
but i stay stuck on a cliff I hang
thinking bout' click click bang
but I probably miss my aim
I done gave my whole life up
tell me are you not entertained?
can't even look to the sky
cause i got too much pride
wanna know the story of my life?
just take a look in my eyes

chorus

now whether i'm right or i'm wrong
this is my life
its gotta be known
hope you know more
with every song
so many stories, stories, stories (2x)
