I created a monster, deep inside of me Well he’s just an imposter, of the boy I used to be Could someone call me a doctor, I’m lost and I can’t see With eyes red as a lobster, blame it on my allergies It’s time I make a decision, on what I want to be when I grow up Can’t help thinking my vision, ain’t as clear as it once was Trying to be too impressive, has made me lose my touch Just a little excessive, like girls that dye their hair too much I’m just rolling with the flow (I can’t do it, I can’t do it all) Melt me down like a fire in the winter snow (I can’t do it, I can’t do it all) Always maybe yes, maybe sure, maybe no (I can’t do it, I can’t do it all) When it comes to pleasing everyone one I know Making too many problems, taking all my energy I just try to forget them, erase you from my memory Get it all out your system, the vibes you’re sending me You know that I wouldn’t wish them, on my worst enemy ©Chris Leggett 2017

Waste Away 04:07
Well I’m hanging on barely by a thread The whole worlds gone over my head And it looks like, we’re sinking and we’re sinking fast All my views are way too extreme I’m too stuck living in my own pipe dream, oh well I guess I’ll see how long it lasts When I’m too young to worry ‘bout getting old Chasing rainbows for their pot of gold But I, never can find the end Say I got to get straight I got to fit the mold Don’t you worry ‘bout me I’m under control Besides, it’s my time to spend It’s another great day, it’s another great day, to waste away All my friends they’ve got jobs to do Say we can’t even hang out with you no more Until we check in with out girlfriends plans My advice to all the young bucks here Is go to school year after year And stay, as long as you can Everybody wants a piece of that simple life I wish it came that easy, because nothing ever will No one’s knocking on my front door Saying “hey kid” you’re coming with me You’re the next big thing ©Chris Leggett 2017

They said it'd be a process, they said I'd be just fine That like would be a concept, and it was gonna blow my mind Can I have they option here, oh what's my price to pay To keep thoughts as souvenirs, and put them out on display I'm thinking that now, the world's misunderstood And there's no separation in the evil and the good But it's okay, I'm nowhere bound What's the point of being lost if you're not trying to be found So consumed with progress, revolve around the wealth I've gotten to that age, I've gotta fend for myself Devise some kind of plan, that's a little more my pace You don't appreciate life now, it's an acquired taste I'm thinking that now, the world's misunderstood And people fall for anything if it makes them look good But it's okay, still nowhere bound I might be a little lost at least I'm trying to be found ©Chris Leggett 2017

Oh my little Georgia peach whatcha doing down there? Come on back to Virginia breath the lover's air See what you're missing with me, I'll give you everything We'll be happy as angels who are getting their wings I'll give you love, 'til their ain't no more Oh my little Georgia peach don't you taste so sweet Let me be the only one who can shake on your tree Oh you've got my heart beating out of my chest You're keeping me up 'til the morning, I'm getting no rest Why I give you love, 'til their ain't no more And we'll be in love, 'til we ain't no more (not until we're dead) The funniest thing about me if that my love is never running out, Never gonna change So lets pick off where we left off, minus a couple of days Now I hope and I beg, I scream and I cry, I laugh and I die I yell and I scream For some kind of way to make this reality and less of a dream Oh my little Georgia whatcha doing down there? Come on back to Virginia breath the lover's air ©Chris Leggett 2017

We're up in arms about, literally everything This modern day that's how it's going to be It's such a zoo out there, you think you're running free? Now I'm learning things, that they don't teach in school Like never trust the news man on TV Hypocritical, blind conspiracy I'm too scared to sleep, 'cause you killed all my dreams When I'm too scared to breath, now I'm just scared of everything I don't love money no, it never did love me It's like a one night stand then out the door It all goes anyway, 'cause we got bills to pay And I got people knocking on my door Always wanting more ©Chris Leggett 2017
