New day skies
And yet I feel like I can't find
The sun that used to blind my eyes
It seems like it's gone away
Losing Time
Punching my own clock is fine
But why do I still feel like I
Am always gonna be to late
Test my luck
Is all this really good enough
My world is simply much too tough
For flowers to bloom today
But I'll stay true
Cuz if that means I get to you
Then all this bullshit I've been through
Will only lead to brighter days
I'm trying to get to brighter days

Secrets

Watching from my window sill
Can't believe I never knew the thrill
Of waiting for a voice on the line
To tell me whether I've been wrong or right
I'm stuck inside a beautiful box, and someone has thrown out the locks
I guess it's just a matter of time, till this door will swing back through my mind
Secrets bound on secret lips
Tell me what you can't resist
Secrets bound with secret lies
Make the sweetest lullabies
If timing is the reason I guess I'll wait for the seasons to change
Someday
If thoughts could be perceived then would I even need to try and stay sane
Feelings built up over sometime
Always seem to prove me right
But then again this world is a fix
For those who still can't come to grips
With things that are just out of control
From anyone who claims to know
That life is like a fun little game
That once you've won can't be replayed

Thoughts vs Dreams
03:23
|

You said that I should go take some time
To be with my own thoughts and decide
If what I really want is a lie
Cuz truth is always hard to come by
I braced as my own jaw hit the floor
When you said how you'd done this before
I never knew a thought could be real
So tangible to touch and to feel
Falling deeper past the light
Dreams seem to turn out right
When the day turns out wrong
I keep thinking that this life can only mesmerize my mind for so long
I guess you came around to my view
Sitting in the park just felt new
And after all the time you'd spent there
You still can't find those leaves in your hair

Places

Start again places came and went
And while I still believe in the past it seems
That the road ahead is time worth spent
Hold me down because I
Tend to spiral out with these
Tendencies, Where I always believe
In what I'm told
Never bought or sold
Daydreams tend to blur with conceptions of reality
Street lamps line the road like skylines for my eyes as I dream
Sun burnt lies mixed with
Clear blue skies
Always reassure that this time is slurred
By your own small thoughts
Piled up and lost
And if that's true then tell me
What is one to do
When you've dealt your cards
And somehow still feel far
From the things you need
Gone in one small dream

Burnin Down

She said baby I can't take no more of your lies
He said baby, you've been taking them all your life
What's a couple more years, couple more years of my time
Cuz you take and you waste and you go and complicate and you never make it alright
So I packed my bags and I hit the road
I'm walking on worn pages of a story already told
Ain't no happy ending ain't no winner gonna take the gold
Cuz times are tough and talk is cheap and my last words I just sold
Cuz theirs a fire in your heart and theirs hate in your mind
And I don't got the strength and you know I don't got the time
It's time we realize
The flames are high and we're burnin down
As the fire died down and the flames faded away
Their was a pile of rubble where a love had once laid
She didn't want to hang around she just turned and ran away
While he's in town thinking bout past loves and better days

Falling into my old ways
While still trying to reach for the come what may
Every time I sleep I get lost in space
Cuz dreams are the only things here to stay

By the grace of god Im standing, and can breathe a little more
If the universe if spinning, I can feel it from my floor
So take the rain take the sun take this cloud that I've become
Cuz i'm tired of waiting for what I want to come
Take my truths to my lies take the ways we said goodbye cuz I'll never forget a day of this life
Walking myself backwards through a room with no doors
If I can't climb this ladder, I mine as well try to climb yours
Time is moving faster now
While I'm searching for a way to slow down
Tell me all your fantasies maybe if we count to three
We'll go back to that simplicity
So won't you come and hold me close cuz your love is all I need it makes me feel at home
Time is moving faster now
And we're all still searching for a way to slow down
Two steps from the sidewalk
Praying that I don't fall
If I lose my sense of balance
Did I ever have it at all
So take your looks I can see you don't need more time with me
But I guess we're just out here trying to breathe

Dreaming of worlds
While still trying to build up my own
Selling these words
With hopes that my thoughts will make it home
Days make the night shine brighter
Nights make me risk the fall
If my mind could take this higher
Would I still be here at all
Feeling sincere
While losing track of what I hold so dear
So give me some time
To reset and get back to what is mine
