LYRICS
Verse 1
There's gotta be a reason why I cant sleep at night
Monsters in my dreams something ain't right
Feels like I woke up in someone else's life
Cause I'm sittin' in the dark where there used to be light
Fears drawing nearer but its all made up
I walk by the mirror just to find myself stuck
Cause what's looking back, is what's been my enemy
Not moving forward when I need what's ahead a me
The remedy is puttin' in all that I got
But I'm rock steady at only putting in thought
Thinking that these trees and leaves,
Will grow from my seeds
When I'm leaving' them dry in the pot
Speaking' 'bout my issues
We all got issues, but mine seem to be ones
That I just to stick too
Stuck in the ruts
With should do's and buts
All these excuses I guess I'm just a
Chorus
Product of my generation
Mind on the money, money on the run
Talkin' bout problems but nothing's being done
Pointin' fingers saying they're the reason
X2
Verse
Dreams what about my dreams
Swore I went to college to get degrees
Instead all I got, is a shortness of breath
Debt on my mind, weariness in my step
And if I think this is as worse as the battle gets
Better brace to face the truth of the matter is
The battering is not a trend nor will it stop
And it'll keep going long after we drop
So I got two options, be good or great
Be the best I can or barely keep food on my plate
Grow up to hate the man that I've become
Or get to a place where I can see that good has been done
Move on come on move on
Cause there's people looking at you to be strong
Gotta get up and break these bad habits
Let 'em stop happnin' stop being mad when
I trip up and slip up on my own made strife
If I keep it up I'll have a sedated life
And who knows if there's really something after death
So I better do my best, and not just be a
Chorus
Bridge
Put your hands up if you give a
Put your hands up if you give a
Put your hands up if you give a
And if you hands are down, well come on lets get 'em up
Put you hands up if you give enough
Put your hands up if you give enough
Put your hands up if you give enough
And if you hands are down, then you don't really give a
Chorus

[@savannahgausnell2638]

Whoa, met you in I believe eighth grade...you were the cute new kid at KJHS. I haven't heard of, or seen you since then until this morning when you popped up on my Facebook as a suggested friend. Being the lil creeper I am I had to look through your photos and seen you were on American idol which led me to be more of a creeper and youtube search you so I could hear your voice for myself. Stalker-ish? Sure I guess but I'm glad I followed up on you Ethan, for you are far more talented then I would have guessed. Your skills blew my mind. Congratulations on your successes, keep going where your heart (and voice) leads you, and wishing you all the best of luck from our little, but growing home town of kalispell. May all your dreams come true, sending happiness to you old friend! :)
