Live It Up

(Album: Zzyzx Road - 2013)

[Ekoh:]
I felt it all fall away in the blink of an eye
I threw my blood from my veins to vanilla sky
Why do I even try, what's the use? I never know
The time when I should let it go away to let the feeling show
You gotta grow, or die stagnant sitting in place
You gotta move, or forever rot inside of this space
Case closed so take notes and make those
Promises we always plan to keep, but do we really know?
These hands were made to write but never figure out the purpose
Until I do these hands will still remain shaky and nervous
And I hope that you get it, 'cause I've been co-pathetic
For chasing dreams because you're afraid I'll actually get it
Push it back until I break and bend
I'm only hoping on some inspiration from a host of hopeless friends
So you can quit and never give a fuck
Or you can live it up with one choice to go and never give it up

[Brittany Flickinger:]
Thing they say:
"It's not too late!"
"I'll reach the stars!"
"Take me away!"
And they'll say
Come save me
The music plays
I close my eyes and fade away
And they'll say
I'm gonna get change

[Ekoh:]
She put a heart tattoo in the middle of her chest
And yes, I guess this is symbolism at it's very best
For how she saw the pain and then she saw the rain
But regardless of the fact that heart will still remain
Write it down with the names of all the ones we miss
She's got her pockets and her head fills up with emptiness
She's got a scar that she will keep until she's gone
To remind her of the rights that she figured out were really wrong
We put it in a song in hopes that the message will carry
So push and pull but the struggle that I live will not tear me
The unknown is scary hanging on a moment barely
Even though you hate the fight the pain in only momentary
Pick up the pieces with your soul and you can hit the road
A poker face on this chase but I will never fold
So you can quit and always wonder what
Or you can live it up with one choice to go and never give it up

[Brittany Flickinger:]
Thing they say:
"It's not too late!"
"I'll reach the stars!"
"Take me away!"
And they'll say
Come save me
The music plays
I close my eyes and fade away
And they'll say
I'm gonna get change

[Ekoh:]
I feel the freedom in the music passion of the sound
I'm reaching for the stars with my feet on the ground
Because it's never too late to change the game
We can dance in the rain the clouds will cover up the pain
Sometimes it's hard to see positive in the dead of night
That's why we have to put our hearts into the songs we write
Gotta take the bumps and learn from the mistakes
And who the fuck says that you gotta stop dreaming when you're awake?

[Brittany Flickinger:]
Thing they say:
"It's not too late!"
"I'll reach the stars!"
"Take me away!"
And they'll say
Come save me
The music plays
I close my eyes and fade away
And they'll say
I'm gonna get change
I'm gonna get change

Game change
Oh won't you save me?
