I’m trapped In your ordinary space Things aren’t moving at my pace But I'm gonna get out No more Staying in one place While it all goes to waste Because I'm making changes Now I’m getting louder And you’re gonna listen I’m getting louder You’re gonna listen Things are gonna change They’re gonna change I’m getting louder You’re gonna listen Things are gonna change They’re gonna change I’m free I finally feel awake So many decisions to make But at least their mine How far You think I could go The only way to know Is to start moving Now I’m getting louder And you’re gonna listen I’m getting louder You’re gonna listen Things are gonna change They’re gonna change I’m getting louder You’re gonna listen Things are gonna change They’re gonna change

We're gonna party 'til the floor caves in under our feet No matter where we land it will be right where we should be We know what's best for us! In ourselves we trust! We’ll never forgot who we are Once you know whats important and what is not You’ll figure out what makes you who you are Try and stop us Try and stop us Try and stop us Try and stop us Sometimes you have to do things that you don’t want to It doesn’t mean that these are the things that make you Take it with a grain of salt! It may not be your fault! Keep your focus on things that make you better Once you know whats important and what is not You’ll figure out what makes you who you are Try and stop us Try and stop us Try and stop us Try and stop us If it makes you miserable do your best to make it better If it makes you miserable do your best to make it better If it makes you miserable do your best to make it better If it makes you miserable do your best to make it better If it makes you miserable do your best to make it better If it makes you miserable do your best to make it better

Stop picking at your scabs and let them heal Until you can’t remember how they feel Don’t let your heart bleed out don’t get stressed out Stop picking at your scabs and let them heal A positive outlook brings a positive outcome A positive outlook brings a positive outcome A positive outlook brings a positive outcome A positive outlook brings a positive outcome Give yourself the chance to heal Give yourself the chance to heal Give yourself the chance to heal Give yourself the chance to heal Did you ask forgiveness from yourself You beat yourself up when its not your fault Don’t you want to move on and leave the past behind Did you ask forgiveness from yourself A positive outlook brings a positive outcome A positive outlook brings a positive outcome A positive outlook brings a positive outcome A positive outlook brings a positive outcome Give yourself the chance to heal Give yourself the chance to heal Give yourself the chance to heal Give yourself the chance to heal Give yourself the chance to heal Give yourself the chance to heal Give yourself the chance to heal Give yourself the chance to heal

Stick Together 03:01
lyrics

Another day passes and we stay in control Debt piles high, and we have bills to pay It could be worse even though our hands are empty Stick together and we get through the day We sweat, we bleed, to get what we need We got to keep going and stay up on our feet A time of innocence we all left behind A state of mind we all long to find We work and we push hard so we keep breathing Calloused hands keep us alive Pressure is put upon our shoulders The strength of our will is how we survive We sweat, we bleed, to get what we need We got to keep going and stay up on our feet A time of innocence we all left behind A state of mind we all long to find We wake up everyday and do what is needed But we know there’s more in our lives Smash the cymbals and crank the guitars This is how we know we’re alive We sweat, we bleed, to get what we need We got to keep going and stay up on our feet A time of innocence we all left behind A state of mind we all long to find

This is What We Live For 02:42
lyrics
buy track
We all have our stresses and we all have our vices Everything we’re going through we need a way to fight it Our ears may ring we may lose our voice but its worth it in the end Because this is what we live for and we’re never gonna stop Putting it all out there on the strings and on the snares Dive bars and basements with punk rock in the air It doesn’t matter if its one or a thousand through the door Knowing that we're lucky matters more Thank you for being here Music takes away our fears And now you’re Not alone Thank you for being here Music takes away our fears And now you’re Not alone Punk rock brings us all together in our minds and in the room Whether you dancing or tapping your shoe And we’re here we’re doing this we’re thankful that you’re here You’re the ones that matter anyway Thank no you for being here Music takes away our fears And now you’re not alone Thank you for being here Music takes away our fears And now you’re not alone Need something to pick you up I know where you should go Maybe something’s got you down So head off to a show Need something to pick you up I know where you should go Maybe something’s got you down So head off to a show Need something to pick you up I know where you should go Maybe something’s got you down So head off to a show

I feel you now And I felt you yesterday At my side every step of the way I feel you now And I felt you yesterday I'm not gonna waste another day Hanging out at backyard BBQs Going out to baseball games We built this bond and you showed me the way These times together and what I remember You did everything that you could To make me the person that I am today I feel you now And I felt you yesterday At my side every step of the way I feel you now And I felt you yesterday I'm not gonna waste another day Taking the family on vacation Celebrating graduations These times are worth their weight in gold Watching football on the weekends Days I thought would never end You’re with me every step of the way I feel you now And I felt you yesterday At my side every step of the way I feel you now And I felt you yesterday I'm not gonna waste another day I feel you now I feel you now I feel you now I feel you now I feel you now I feel you now I feel you now And I felt you yesterday At my side every step of the way I feel you now And I felt you yesterday I'm not gonna waste another day I feel you now And I felt you yesterday At my side every step of the way I feel you now And I felt you yesterday I'm not gonna waste another day

about

We would like to thank all of our friends and family that have supported us over the years. The journey is long and ongoing, but you all continue to support us along the way and we owe you a great debt of gratitude . We would especially like to thank Mac McInerney for always being a part of the Hopeless Otis family, and for contributing to the writing process of this album. Some of these songs were written before, and some of these songs were written during the world being shut down. We hope these songs can help some of you get through tough times and maybe even make them a little bit better.
