Album: Empty Hand (2011)

Too Much, Too Fast, Too Loud

Since I was a child I've always been told
I talk too much, too fast, too loud
- Keep it low, hold it back, stay down
Stay down, hold it back, keep it low

I thought you all would like to see me down
Was so sure you all would like to see me down
'Cause I knew you all would like to see me down
I was sure you all would like to see me down
'Cause I know you all go crazy
when someone tries to live those dreams
I know you all go crazy
It's not allowed to break free

This life was given to me
Believe you just live once
Look at me I got so much to give
I got to give it all before I'm done

I wanna feel, I wanna feel for real
I wanna shine so you all can see
I'm gonna rise above all my fears
I wanna live, I wanna live for real

It's the fight for being part of
when you're still always on your own
It's the fight for staying honest
when a lie's so easily told
It's the fight between giving
and the fear of what there is to lose
It's the fight believing
when there's so much to doubt

I wanna feel, I wanna feel for real
I wanna shine so you all can see
I'm gonna rise above all my fears
I wanna live, I wanna live for real

This life was given to me
Believe you just live once
Look at me I got so much to give
I got to give it all before I'm done
