THE SKY'S LIMIT
(Chris Hludzik)
Happiness is expensive
Are you willing to pay the price?
'Cause the damage is quite extensive
Once you roll the dice
I don't mean to be so curt
As the good times turn to sad
But if it wasn't meant to hurt
Then why the hell does it hurt so bad?
CHORUS 1
Now the promise has been broken
These empty words fill my book
And the last ones have been spoken
But I'd like to have another look
Some say "The Sky's The Limit"
But what's the limit to the sky?
With all the feelings that you exhibit
Do you dare to question why?
Or do you just follow along
The way you've always been told
Even though you feel it's wrong
You try to fit into the mould
CHORUS 2
But the promise has been broken
These empty words filled my book
And the last ones have been spoken
But I'd like to take another look
BRIDGE
Just to see if I missed something
Or maybe just misunderstood
Or if it all was really nothing
And it turned out just the way it should.
Some say "The Sky's The Limit"
But what's the limit to the sky?
If you knew there was nothing in it
Then why the hell did we even try?

FIGHTING WITH MYSELF
(Chris Hludzik)
I'm not happy but I'm trying
I'd tell the truth but I'd be lying
These days I'm less than OK
I just let the chips fall where they may
I'm hopeful but I'm bitter
I never was an easy quitter
I ride things out to the end
There's no point in trying to make amends
CHORUS:
Because I'm fighting with myself
And I always seem to lose
Yes I'm fighting with myself
And it's not a battle that I would choose
I'm grown but I'm a child
My emotions still run wild
Things never did turn clear
My experience became fear
I know but I'm still clueless
Some days I feel I just can't do this
"Hold your head up" they all say
But thoughts get heavier every day
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
So I will carry on
Although I don't know how
I'll put my pain aside
And try to live for now
Yes I will carry on
Although I don't know why
I'll go from strength to strength
To live, the past must die
I'm not happy but I'm trying
I have to smile to keep from crying
Some days you won't be OK
But it won't always be that way
LAST CHORUSES:
'Cause you're just fighting with yourself
And you're trying hard to win
When you're fighting with yourself
It's all about the state of mind you're in
And we're all fighting with ourselves
And we're trying not to lose
Yes we're fighting with ourselves
And it's not a battle that anyone would choose

PUT AWAY PAST
(Chris Hludzik)
Put the pictures away
Free them from their frames
The memories will stay
Unlike the faces and names
Clean the dust off the shelf
That once surrounded them
And take a look at yourself
Try to remember when
CHANGE
When people said they'd always be there
And you had no doubt in your mind that they would
When you rolled through every day without a care
And the plot wasn't easily misunderstood
Put the pictures away
Take them off the wall
Soon they'll start to dismay
And like your hopes, you'll fall
Close the book on the past
Behind a closet door
Slow the feelings down fast
In the back of a drawer
CHANGE 2
'Cause when you look at each one of those flashbacks
And you're the only one who hasn't changed
You stop to ask yourself if you could backtrack
Is there a chance that your whole life might be rearranged?
There'll be more pictures someday
The memories won't end here
New ones will enter the fray
That you'll hold just as dear
But no more pictures today
I think it's for the best
I guess I'm trying to say
My mind's eye needs a rest
