Life's Chances by Travis Teeter Dark and dreary, blanketed by a cold winters night.. I lay and wonder, gaze and dream, chilled by my fright.. Will I see another moon? Or am I afraid that I'll see another day? Whats really ahead..Will I miss the dream? Or suffer I may.. The unknown. With each day, a blessing or a curse. A new face. To make things better, or maybe worse.. A new friend, a new enemy. Or just a waste of life.. Its a dangerous game, one day..It'll be more than strife.. A gunshot, and worlds and lives are changed forever.. A teardrop, and its all for naught..lost, forgotten, hearts to sever, Hide me from this life, Keep me safe from you.. Don't make this harder for me, I don't know what I'd do.. If you ever told me you loved me, I'd cry and run away.. It hurts too much to lose what it means to hear someone say.. I love you, I love you too..So why is it you do the things you do? Why does it hurt so bad? But it makes me smile and think "If only it were true.."

Isn't Life Grand? by Travis Teeter Nights alone in the world, searching for all the answers.. Staring into a half empty glass, glancing at the exotic dancers.. I'm sick of things the way they are, nothing stands out.. I'd rather be on the phone, singing "I'm a little teapot, short and stout.." Money changes hands, as I get another drink. I smile, and feel warm.. But thats just the booze, it'll wear off before I get back to the dorm.. I just want someone to laugh with, have a good ol' time.. A pretty face to look at, that I don't have to give every dime.. Get tired of doing nothing good, just wasting away in a self-made hell.. It should be fun, but I'm bored. What more is there to tell? Was I better off a child, not knowing? Just continuing on as always? Or better off coming up short. Wasting my life away, by the days.. Its not easy being me, I'm not perfect by any real means.. But atleast I'm not one of those idiots, crying, fucking teens.. Think they've got it so bad, I was there before..stuck in limbo.. And look at me now..Drinking my life away, staring at some bimbo.

Changes For A New Day by Travis Teeter Time for a new day, and with it a new change. Uncomfortable? Tough. It's time to get up, time to shake off the dust, Sorry..I gotta be rough. You've let yourself go, you're not what you could be, which is better.. You're trying to look like you're trying, but you're not..Listen to this letter.. If you jump up for the stars, you'll fall. It could hurt, you could die.. Even if you get them, you could lose again..Never know til' you try.. A moment amongst the stars, is enough to make a life worth living.. To keep trying, to keep dying, Life takes away, but its always giving.. Its never easy to try something new, it could go horribly wrong, Fact is, life's going to end..So atleast play the right tune to the song.. Won't always have that oppertunity, so take a chance.. Find something, someone, someplace, some romance.. Get a hobby, get a smile, find a friend, go get laid.. Well..all of those are good save the latter, unless your getting paid. Seriously, go out and take a chance, one day at a time, one thing.. Smile at the hope that you never know what a new day may bring.

Aiming High In America by Travis Teeter Destined for great things, And many a new lands to explore, Whether your pleasure be money, love, or a whore.. You'll find what you're looking for if you just go to the right place, Its easy to do, well..about as easy as trying to braid lace. Sure, some of us won't be able to make it there in time.. We were born with a time limit, and to die's a crime.. Its all over then, for this world atleast, And a new limit starts, A new adventure, throwing your hand to the wind, like darts. Hit the bullseye, its awfully crowded there, and only so much room, So scramble you parasites, kill eachother, send one another to doom.. We're all just trying to be number one, looking out for me.. Because there's no 'I' in team, I'll make sure 'U' stay out. Why can't we see? We're all just toys, playing a sick game, striving for the same spot, Always fighting, never cooperating, and everyone just gets screwed a lot. So thats the American dream. Dog eat Dog. So when there's one left.. It can put itself down. For all the murder, lies, adultery, and theft.

Setting The Right Example by Travis Teeter Facades of happiness, Shades of deception, and Pain.. Smiles that could break faces, laughter of the insane.. Do you have any idea of the face behind the mask? How could you? You were never up to that task.. It'll all be too late before either of us know what hit, And you'll wonder 'Why?' or will you even give a shit? We're all selfish, its fine..Who cares if someone were to cry? Tears that hit like bombs, just subtle hints for one about to die. Not strong enough? Fair to say, after all, we all have to lie.. Oh..you're wearing a mask too, you have too in order to get by.. Is it strong to ignore whats wrong infront of your face? To hide away your problems, instead of putting them in the right place.. Atleast I know when I'm in over my head, things are too hard.. This is your gut check, your inside view to the path I've carved. Don't try this at home kids, don't follow that paved way.. Because you'll come to regret it, like I have, Someday.
