Always Wins

Looking at the world, I finally have time
to put myself aside
and here I rest in this broken chair
wondering what I'm doing here
I've taken a chance, opened my heart
now he's going far and here we are
I am
sorry but I'm not sorry enough
I did what I could and now it is time to erupt
and he ghosts this world without a past
to paint all the colors he's been trying to cast
and I'll paint him spreading that uncertain smile
something I've longed to see for a while
with myself put aside
I carve every root with a lie
because I know the world as it seems
and he was all I would ever need
accepting enough is never enough
but sometimes life make the truth rough
and this city once promised more
with all it's colors all I can see are doors
and this broken chair I rest in
Has become my dearest friend and,
The truth wins in the end, it always wins in the end
So, rock away my friend

Shouldn't it?

There is this place we find ourselves
standing alone
no bottle to hold
and the world seems so strange just then
the roundness is now flattened
and every song falls apart
like an off beat heart
what's going on?
it won't be long till we all crack
imperfection is a big come-back
looking at old photographs
everything was such a god damn laugh
but we lost touch and settled down
tell me, are you happy now?
sitting on your settled couch?
wondering where you'd be now
if they never told you how
when or why
you're supposed to die?
and while our poor souls are driven by fear
running away to be far from here
here becomes our buried jars
hiding who we really are
and soon we all realize there's no turning back
for your own good remember that
those empty eyes we stare into
had every intention to follow through
had every intention to remember you
standing alone
with not a thing to hold
but listen,
hold on anyway
you're supposed to die, sometime
we're all supposed to die
doesnt matter when or why
shouldn't just knowing that
make you
feel more alive?

Goodbye Sandbox

Flickering, static
feeling the vibrations
around me
following footsteps
of strangers
found myself headed towards no where
but this place
was once
my battleground
now i'm running
headed towards
nowhere
to find something
that will
prove that i've
done nothing wrong
and your singing
matches my heart beat
and the noise from the churches
tickle my ear drums
but im listening
to everyone
everywhere
following them all
headed no where
but the thing
i find most appealing
is
happiness
happiness
happiness
..
so dont tell me no
dont tell me i cant go
dont tell me im not ready
because
you see
these footsteps i am following
will come back to me
and i'll pretend
this battleground
was only my kindergarten playground
and i've left the sandbox
i'm done playing this game
i hear it calling
i see it falling
im taking the chance
so dont you dare step foot in my path
don't you dare tell me i've gone too far
you
know
who
the
fuck
you
are

Be it as it may
The followers of untouched trails
Find yourself a diamond
Let it be
Be it as it may
The calling for a calling
Find yourself waiting
Lose the best you've ever had
Be it as it may
The words you spill of wisdom
Catch yourself drowning
Stuck thinking too much
Be it as it may
The world will never stop
Wait for yourself too long
and die where you are
