Can you get something for nothing
If nothing is all you got
Sit down I'll tell you a story
A story of how I go shot
Shot through the heart with a dagger
Or maybe an old metal spoon
When you lose the life of a loved one
It feels like your heart broke in two
Don't go down that path
It's dangerous, it's dangerous
Can you get something from nothing
I don't think you can
Don't bring up the past
It's dangerous, it's dangerous
Don't attempt something from nothing
Cause that's not the plan
Don't stop
Have faith
Keep it up
You're doing great
You know the story
Let it out
It's therapy
I remember it was Wednesday
A Wednesday night that was so dark
I wasn't paying attention
As he left the parking lot
He took a right at the exit
I took a left in my car
He rode a kid's bike for miles
I went the wrong way too far
I called my wife minutes later
Told her I just lost our son
She said we should start a search party
This isn't the first time he's run
Two hundred people were searching
Searching for my son in vain
Hit by a truck on the freeway
While he was crossing the lanes
I said don't down that path
It's dangerous, it's dangerous
Can you get something from nothing
I don't think you can
Don't bring up the past
It's dangerous, It's dangerous
Don't attempt something from nothing
Cause that's not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
What was the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
What was the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
What was the plan
This was not the plan
Can you get something from nothing
When nothing is all that you got
Now let me tell you a story
A story of how I got shot
Shot through the heart with a dagger
Or maybe an old metal spoon
When you lose the life of a loved one
It feels like your heart's torn in two
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
This was not the plan
What was the plan
This was not the plan

Go
Things are not OK
Getting pulled on by strings
I'm starting to lose my strength
I need to start thinking
Outside the box
Outside the box
Outside the box
Outside the box
Outside the box
Outside the box
Outside the box
Outside the box
Outside the box
Outside the box
Outside the box
Outside the box
Outside the box
Outside the box
Outside the box
Outside the box
Just when you thought you lost everything
Just when you thought you lost everything
You gain everything
You gain everything, You gain everything
Just when you thought you lost everything
Just when you thought you lost everything
You gain everything
You gain everything, You gain everything
Just when you thought you lost everything
Just when you thought you lost everything
You gain everything
You gain everything, You gain everything
Just when you thought you lost everything
Just when you thought you lost everything
You gain everything
You gain everything
Stop
Things could get worse (That's impossible)
Someone could steal your purse
It has your ID and your credit card
It's time to stay inside the box
Inside the box
Inside the box
Inside the box
Inside the box
Inside the box
Inside the box
Inside the box
Inside the box
Inside the box
Inside the box
Inside the box
Inside the box

Just when you thought you lost everything
Just when you thought you lost everything
You gain everything
You gain everything, You gain everything
Just when you thought you lost everything
Just when you thought you lost everything
You gain everything
You gain everything, You gain everything
Just when you thought you lost everything
Just when you thought you lost everything
You gain everything
You gain everything, You gain everything
Just when you thought you lost everything
Just when you thought you lost everything
You gain everything
You gain everything, You gain everything

How do you move forward
When you walk through the door
And your heart's on the floor
And you can't do any more
How do you remember
All the good times you had
When your feeling so sad
Because death makes you mad
How do you forgive me
For the mistakes I have made
And all the debts I haven't paid
Because I'm scared and afraid
How do I find hope now
In the face of despair
Because life isn't fair
(Well what are you going to do about it. Just cry?)
Yes
Never give up
Never give in
Never let go
Never slow down
Never let up
Give it all you got
For that empty spot in the minivan
Never say never
Never be alone
Never get lost
Never cheap out
It's never too late
Give it all you got
For that empty spot in the minivan
In the minivan
In the minivan
Where is tomorrow
When I'm done with today
Can I please get away
Is it too much to ask
Where is my witness
That my life will go on
After my life is done
I can be with my son
Please give me strength now
To face another day of loss
Cause I can't bear the cost
(Hey bro, do you want to watch some Bob Ross with me?)
Yeah sure
Never give up
Never give in
Never let go
Never slow down
Never let up
Give it all you got
For that empty spot in the minivan
Never say never
Never be alone
Never get lost
Never cheap out
It's never too late
Give it all you got
For that empty spot in the minivan
Never lose hope
Never lose faith
Never doubt
Always fight
For that empty spot in the minivan
I will keep myself at home
With those I love I'm not alone
It's safe inside these stucco walls
We'll watch Bob Ross and sing old songs
I think I'll move forward
As I walk through the door
And pick my heart up off the floor
And try to do a little more
I think I'll remember
All the good times we had
And I'll be a little sad
Because death feels bad
I think you'll forgive me
For the mistakes I have made
For all the debts I will pay
I won't be scared or afraid
I think I'll find hope now
In the face of despair
It turns out that I care
(Hey man, do you ever cry when watching Bob Ross?)
Every time
Never give up
Never give in
Never let go
Never slow down
Never let up
Give it all you got
For that empty spot in the minivan
Never say never
Never be alone
Never get lost
Never cheap out
It's never too late
Give it all you got
For that empty spot in the minivan
Never give up
Never give in
Never let go
Never slow down
Never let up
Give it all you got
For that empty spot in the minivan
Never say never
Never be alone
Never get lost
Never cheap out
It's never too late
Give it all you got
For that empty spot in the minivan
Never lose hope
Never lose faith
Never doubt
Always fight
For that empty spot in the minivan

Mosters
Under my bed
(Look out for the boogie man)
I toss
Too and fro
(I never get any sleep)
Trapped
Inside of head
(I can't get out, I can't get out, I can't get out)
Perhaps
I should let go
(Let it go, let it go)
Just not today
Fatigue
(Well that's a big word)
Enters my bones
I just
(Just what)
Want to rest
(So go find a bed)
I should
(No you shouldn't, No you shouldn't)
Go for a walk
(And get some fresh air)
And try
(No you shouldn't, No you shouldn't)
To do my best
(No you shouldn't, No you shouldn't)
Just not today
I'll be your friend
I'll make amends
I'll play pretend
Just not today
I'll turn around
I'll make it count
Just not today
I'll be OK
Just not today
I'll be OK
Breath
A little bit more
(Who shut off all the oxygen)
I got
(You got what)
Lot's to do
(Well that's not true)
Get up
(But I don't want to)
Off the floor
(Please just let me stay here)
I need
(I thought you never needed anything
To see this through
(No you shouldn't, No you shouldn't)
Just not today
I'll be right here
I'll show no fear
I'll volunteer
Just not today
I'll clean my mess
I'll look my best
Just not today
(Just not today)
Just not today
(Just not today)
Just not today
(Just not today)
Is that OK
(Just not today)
Just not today
I'll be your friend
I'll make amends
I'll play pretend
Just not today
I'll turn around
I'll make it count
I'll flip my frown
Just not today
I'll be right here
I'll show no fear
I'll volunteer
Just not today
I'll clean my mess
I'll look my best
I'll do the rest
Just not today
Please do not worry
About what I say
This won't last forever
There will come a day
When all of my grief
And all of my pain
And all of my sadness
Will be washed away
It won't be tomorrow
Or maybe this year
Somehow I will make it
There's nothing to fear
I'm told this is normal
When black turns to gray
But this I can tell you
It's just not today

Love's Armada Redlands, California
I have no music career, just a hobby. I enjoy creating music that magnifies the juxtaposition between despair and
hope.
We live in a world with unavoidable tragedies. I believe that all we want is to find hope amongst the sadness.
