Change The World
Change The World
Verse 1
Every screen’s a shouting match
Truth gets bent ‘til it breaks
They sell fear like oxygen
Say pick a side or disappear
I don’t have a lever to pull
Don’t have a voice they’ll hear
Just a spine I won’t give up
And a head I’m
tryin
’ to keep clear
Chorus
I can’t burn the whole thing down
But I won’t lose my mind
I’ll move the needle point-oh-oh-one percent
One stubborn act at a time
They scream power, I choose restraint
I choose to stay alive
Point-oh-oh-one percent
Is how I fight back tonight
Verse 2
They profit off the outrage
Call it leadership
Keep us tired and at each other
So nobody looks up
I won’t trade my anger for applause
Or bleed for a brand
I’ll put it where it actually matters
Even if it barely lands
Chorus
I can’t burn the whole thing down
But I won’t lose my mind
I’ll move the needle point-oh-oh-one percent
One stubborn act at a time
They scream power, I choose restraint
I choose to stay alive
Point-oh-oh-one percent
Is how I fight back tonight
Outro
The world won’t change on cue
But I won’t let it change me.
Dont Fret
Don’t Fret
Verse 1
I’ve got a lot to say, so lean in close
These words been
rattlin
’ since the bad news hit the room
I learned ‘em hard, learned ‘em late
From barroom prayers and second chances I couldn’t save
Life don’t break you clean, it leaves a scar
But you keep
drivin
’, even when you don’t know where you are
Pre-Chorus
Hold the ones you love like the night’s too short
Pull ‘em in tighter when the world goes dark
Chorus
So don’t you fret when I’m gone
Don’t let the silence tell you
somethin’s
wrong
Stand up straight, keep
carryin
’ on
Yeah, don’t you fret when I’m gone
Verse 2
If you feel that ache where I used to be
Fill it up with laughter, fill it up with need
Say my name if it helps you sleep
Or don’t say it at all—whatever you need
If we crossed paths, just know it’s true
I carried a piece of that time with you
Pre-Chorus
Love ain’t soft, it’s a heavy thing
But it’s the only damn thing worth everything
Chorus
So don’t you fret when I’m gone
Don’t let regret be the song you’re on
Live it loud, prove me wrong
Yeah, don’t you fret when I’m gone
Bridge
Bury me face down in the red clay dirt
So I can see the roots do the work
Let the flowers bloom where they choose
Life keeps
rollin
’, whether we do or we don’t
Final Chorus
So don’t you fret when I’m gone
Be stronger than the nights are long
Raise a glass, then move along
Yeah, don’t you fret when I’m gone
Outro
Carry on…
Just carry on.
Flags Dont Feed Kids
Flags Don’t Feed Kids
Got a flag on every pickup bed
School lunch still coming up short
They say stand proud I say stand up
For the ones sleeping on the porch
Flags don’t feed kids prayers don’t pay rent
Freedom ain’t free when it’s heaven-sent
I still believe in this broken land
Just
need a little help from Uncle Sam
They wave the
cross
they wave the gun
Say pull yourself up and pray
But boots don’t work without a floor
And faith
don’t
fill a plate
Flags don’t feed kids prayers don’t pay rent
Freedom ain’t free when it’s heaven-sent
I still believe in this broken land
Just
need a little help from Uncle Sam
Gravel Tears
Gravel Tears
Verse 1
We learned to drive on county roads
With beer cans
rattlin
’ under the seats
Daddy said, “Son, don’t trust the pavement
It’ll crack right under your feet”
Chorus
These are gravel tears on a rusted heart
Every mile’s just a brand-new scar
We ain’t broken, we just steer crooked
Trying to outrun who we are
Verse 2
Mama prayed hard, but the radio louder
Static
preachin
’ like a gospel choir
Every love I ever swore would save me
Just added fuel to the fire
Outro
If I ever make it out clean
It’ll be on four bald tires
With a glovebox full of letters
And a name like Gravel Tears
I Cant Stop Age
I Can’t Stop Age
Verse 1
Your hands don’t work like they used to
You laugh it off, but I see through
You lose a word, you lose the thread
I fill the gaps with what’s not said
You taught me how to be strong
Now I slow my walk to keep with you
I keep thinking
There’s a fix
Like love alone
Could stop this
I CAN’T STOP TIME
I CAN’T SLOW IT DOWN
I CAN’T KEEP YOUR BODY FROM BREAKING DOWN
I CAN HOLD YOUR HAND
I CAN SAY YOUR NAME
I CAN LOVE YOU
BUT I CAN’T STOP AGE
Verse 2
You get angry, then you’re quiet
Say you’re fine, but I
don’t
buy it
You apologize for being sick
Like this
was
some
bad choice you
picked
I tell you you’re still you to me
But I see the fear you won’t let be
I say “I’m here”
Like that’s enough
But being here
Still hurts like hell
I CAN’T STOP TIME
I CAN’T MAKE YOU STRONG
I CAN’T KEEP YOU HERE LIKE YOU WERE BEFORE
I CAN STAY WITH YOU
THROUGH THE CHANGE
I CAN LOVE YOU
BUT I CAN’T STOP AGE
You don’t disappear
All at once
You just drift
A little more
Every month
I keep reaching
You keep slipping
And nothing I can do can stop it
One day you look at me unsure
Like I’m someone you almost knew before
I smile back, pretend I’m fine
Scream alone the whole drive home
There’s no cure, no final say
Just watching what time takes away
I CAN’T STOP TIME
I CAN’T FIX THIS
I CAN’T KEEP YOU SAFE FROM SICKNESS
I CAN SHOW UP
EVERY DAY
I CAN LOVE YOU
BUT I CAN’T STOP AGE
I CAN’T STOP TIME
I CAN’T SLOW IT DOWN
I CAN’T KEEP YOUR BODY FROM BREAKING DOWN
I CAN STAY HERE
TO THE LAST DAY
I WILL LOVE YOU
EVEN WHEN I CAN’T STOP AGE
I’m here.
I wish you were.
Power Over Hope
Power Over Hope
Verse 1
They drew the lines in quiet rooms
With the doors shut tight
Measured power with a ruler
Instead of wrong and right
Votes stacked up like cordwood
Still came out wrong somehow
They
said
“this is legal,” not “this is fair”
And smiled
for
the camera crowd
Verse 2
They lost the numbers, kept the keys
Called it strategy
Wrapped it up in process talk
And waved the flag for decency
You can hollow out a democracy
Without ever
missin
’ a vote
Just tilt the field and lock the gates
And swear the game’s still honest
Chorus
History don’t forget
the math
Or who bent it till it broke
You can hide behind the
law
awhile
But the record keeps its notes
They’ll write your names in smaller print
Under warnings and footnotes
Not as builders, not as leaders
But as monsters who chose power over hope
Verse 3
Teachers begged, workers bled
Water turned against the town
They
said
“wait your turn,” said “trust the plan”
While the ceiling caved in down
Every excuse sounds reasonable
When you’re safe and
sittin
’ high
But the ground remembers everything
That fell through the cracks in time
Chorus
History
don’t
care who won that day
Or what you
called
the play
It
remembers
who feared the people
Enough to lock them out of the
say
You don’t get statues for that kind of win
Just a
chapter
people quote
As a lesson in how power rots
And eats its own
Outro
The lines will fade, the maps will change
The truth has patience you don’t
And Wisconsin will outlive you all
But the books will keep the ghosts.
Skin In The Game
Skin In
The
Game
Verse 1
We argue over
nothin
’ that matters
But it matters once it’s said
Coffee gets cold on the counter
While we pace around the bed
She’s got a list in her head she
don’t
write down
I got time I keep
wastin
’ like it won’t run out
A house this quiet makes the small things loud
When you don’t drown ‘em out with work
Verse 2
She checks the door twice before
leavin
’
Like the world’s
gonna
slip inside
I say “relax,” she says “just listen”
We both know she ain’t wrong this time
I could fix it with an hour of
tryin
’
A promise
kept,
a reason why
But I keep
sayin
’ “tomorrow’s fine”
Like tomorrow’s owed to me
Chorus
We could make this place feel lighter
If we both leaned in instead of away
I could show up a little stronger
She could let a little silence stay
Ain’t no deadline, ain’t no sirens
Just love
askin
’ us to rise
We don’t
gotta
be perfect tonight
Just better than we were last time
Verse 3
No kids runnin’ down the hallway
No clock
beatin
’ on the wall
Just two grown hearts
gettin
’ restless
Waitin’ on the other one to call
She wants peace that
don’t
shake so
easy
I want grace I don’t have to earn
Truth is, we’re both a little uneasy
About how much we still got to learn
Chorus
We could make this place feel steadier
If I put in more than I say
If she
let
the small stuff pass her by
And I quit
lettin
’ the big stuff wait
There’s
time enough
to get this right
If we stop
keepin
’ score tonight
We don’t
gotta
save the world somehow
Just love each other better now
Bridge
I ain’t blameless, she ain’t broken
We just talk past what we mean
Two tired people
wantin
’ comfort
Sayin’ it sharper than we need
If commitment’s just a muscle
We been scared to let it ache
But it’s
growin
’ every time we choose
To bend instead of break
Final Chorus
We could turn this into
somethin
’ solid
If we both decide to stay
I’ll do the work I keep
avoidin
’
She’ll breathe before she reacts
No rush, no fire, no alibi
Just love worth
showin
’ up for again
We don’t
gotta
fix it all at once
Just take the long way back to us
Outro
The house gets quiet in a good way
When we finally call it a truce
A little less guard, a little more give
Feels
like
somethin
’ we can get used to.
Well This Is A Mess
Well, This Is
A
Mess
Verse
I yell at the news like it knows my name
Then forget what I walked in the room to do
I got strong opinions I barely earned
And a real soft spot for
avoidin
’ truth
I want change, just not right now
Or if it’s loud, or if it’s hard
I believe in
doin
’ better
As soon as I get around to start
Chorus
I’m
tryin
’ to be part of the solution
Without
makin
’ things worse
Some days that just means
Not
addin
’ fuel to the fire first
The bar is low, I clear it barely
But hey—I still showed up
Didn’t fix the world today
But I didn’t screw it up
Bridge
Turns out savin’ everything
Starts
real
small and feels
real
dumb
Like
listenin
’, or
sayin
’ sorry
Or just
knowin
’ when you’re done
Outro
I’ll try again tomorrow
Mess it up in a brand-new way
But
laughin
’ at myself tonight
Might be the most honest progress I’ve made.
