I thought that maybe you would let me know
If I’m not what you want let me go go go
oooooh oooooh
ah ah ah ah
never gonna bring me down
don't care what you say right now
oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
ooooooh ooooh
ah ah ah ah
living in a state of mind
where I can't be defined
oh oh oh
i'm a free machine
1st verse:
first of all, listen, I'm gonna tell you this
I represent myself, if the self exists
if you're compelled to fit
me in your little pretend identity box to help dismiss
my words...do what you choose to do, it's cool
I'll keep moving in pursuit of truth and you'll
just be an echo of a time before I let go
of the fear of the accusers, now I use the fuel
2nd verse:
we're all looking for meaning in our life
we can find it easily being in a tribe
but we need to realize
when connectedness turns collectivist and messes with the freedom in our minds
we've all got privileges as individuals
and disadvantages that go beyond the visual
i'm not a victim or inflicted with original sin
i'm just improving the condition i'm in
3rd verse:
I'm a drop in the ocean
every thought and emotion
has a cause that is woven
in time like the ocean is in the drop
freedom is the poetry of gods
built up and broken in the moment of a thought
noticing the nihilism lurking
trying to resurface but I learned to keep holding it off
4th verse:
we all have difficulty dealing with uncertainty
planning with the randomness can feel like an absurdity
but trying to get rid of it will burden me
inadvertently trading my freedom for that security
and there is a paradox in being free
as you become aware you're not is when you seem to be
when that inherited narrative stops there we can spot
our own machinery where we can watch the scenery
I’m breaking free
Into the crowd
I beg you please
Don’t let me down

Be Alright
03:16
|
|||
we all got a struggle, falls on some more than others
hardly a comfort when you're under it
trying to undo it, wondering why you were the one it comes to and if you'll succumb to it
it may seem irrelevant
but pain is a relative thing
there's no way to measure
where ya never been
better to give the compassion they might not be getting
forget who's ahead on it
when i'm at the end of my rope
on the scent for anything resembling hope
tending to anyone else needing mending
prevents my descent down into the hole
into the depths of despair
still I can find a breath of fresh air
if the door's open a little bit the hope can enter in
to show me the best that is there
why
can't we see sometimes
the shapes between the lines
the darkness can tear us down
beauty's hiding all around
just to be alive
I don’t wanna hurt nobody
Just wanna live my life
Can’t we just enjoy ourselves
Toni-i-i-i-ight
life ain’t perfect
not gonna be
neither am i
We all can see
but I think we’re gonna be alright
i don't think that paradise is near
but i won't be paralyzed by fear
there are times we're gonna face the darkness
and basically we don't know where it might appear
but beauty is a constant
moving through the cosmos
seems impossible what humans have accomplished
quantum computers with a conscience
experiencing love, making music in the process
a baby born every minute
it’s fortunate cause
resources are limited
but resourcefulness is a force that is in us
of course it is infinite
if you stop and notice it
taking stock and ownership
of our own lives and how great we got it
makes you wanna find the strength to keep on taking on the
endless obstacles that nature's gotta throw at us
why
can't we see sometimes
the shapes between the lines
the darkness can tear us down
beauty's hiding all around
just to be alive
X2
I don’t wanna hurt nobody
Just wanna live my life
Can’t we just enjoy ourselves
Toni-i-i-i-ight
life ain’t perfect
not gonna be
neither am i
We all can see
but I think we’re gonna be alright
Everybody out here wondering why
it feels like we’re running out of time
but i know that somewhere in my mind
I built the world that is reflected
I built the world that is reflected

Can't Run Away
03:19
|
|||
I've got hope for the future
but I carry the load of the truth cause
winds of hope can blow towards delusion
against the wind I walk slowly into it
to feel the breeze on my face
just enough to calm my angst
feels like my heart's been broken everytime I had a hope
that went beyond what's safe
now I'm dealing with the consequence
of happiness being tied up in accomplishments
exploring what’s more important
I'd buy my own lies but I just can't afford it
they tell me to be positive but honestly
I got a little problem with pretending it’s impossible
to reach a point where you can know you lost and quit
the optimism, but I know for sure I gotta go for more shot at this
I can't run away
I keep coming back even when I don't know why why why why
I can't run away
when the world's falling down all around, my head's up high high high
cynicism lives on my tongue, hope is on my breath
trying to figure out which is the right one is anybody's guess
know I’d never say that I'm done till nothing is left
so maybe hope is survival, these songs are life or death
when I was a little kid
my smile came really quick
had my eye on the bigger picture
I had a vision what my life would end up like
then the time just kept on ticking
realized that my smile was a better fit
while I never had fought one battle
then I sit and watched it all unravel
every dream that I ever had
i worked till I had it there right in my hand
the moment I felt the excitement then BAM
it was gone, always on the wrong side of random
like maybe I got there by accident
or maybe it was my fault to ask for it
but the moment I thought to give up
the child inside me sings at the top of his lungs like
X2
I can't run away
I keep coming back even when I don't know why why why why
I can't run away
when the world's falling down all around, my heads up high high high high
cynicism lives here on my tongue, hope is on my breath
trying to figure out which is the right one anybody's guess
And I know I would never say “I'm done” till I got nothing left
maybe this hope is survival, these songs are life or death
I thought I could leave it behind
there’s no way that I could run away and hide
I see it when I close my eyes
there’s no way that I could run away and hide

You Can't Take It Away
03:16
|
|||
I’m on the outside looking in
thinking about what could have been
too much safety can be dangerous
wish I understood that then
regrets
of holding onto secrets
sacrificing myself
finding someone to make peace with
striving to move up but
every ideal is a judge
looking down the path ahead
and find that my feet wouldn’t budge
self inflicted
failure is addictive
till you hit the bottom and gotta
risk it or you missed it
gooooo
ahead and criticize me
do it whatever way you like
woooooooah
tell me I inspire you
either way i’ll be alright
you can break my heart, but I know, you can’t take it away
underneath the scars i found my light now, nah nah nah nah you can’t make it fade
i know the cycles of life are gonna get us and things won’t always be okay
but you can’t take my soul away
i put myself out there
in front of everyone
hoping I connected to
some other people when I’m done
the criticism hit
i was listening a bit
interested in if
I simply missed something legit
so i just ignored the rest
more or less
especially the compliments
i got it’s probably for the best
if you lift me up
you can also tear me down
don’t want this because
i need to keep my feet here on the ground
gooooo
ahead and criticize me
do it whatever way you like
woooooooah
tell me I inspire you
either way i’ll be alright
you can break my heart, but I know, you can’t take it away
underneath the scars i found my light now, nah nah nah nah you can’t make it fade
i know the cycles of life are gonna get us and things won’t always be okay
but you can’t take my soul away
walking through the fire getting stronger from the flames
alriiiiight
blood of a warrior marching through my veins
allllll niiiiight
you can’t break me, you can’t break me, you can’t break me down
you can’t break me, you can’t break me, you can’t break me down
oooo, na na na na, oooh
na na na na, oooh
na na na na, oooh
c’mon
gooooo
ahead and criticize me
do it whatever way you like
woooooooah
tell me I inspire you
either way i’ll be alright
you can break my heart, but I know, you can’t take it away
underneath the scars i found my light now, nah nah nah nah you can’t make it fade
i know the cycles of life are gonna get us and things won’t always be okay
but you can’t take my soul away

The Cave
03:51
|
|||
Studying the world that's in front of me
Trying to find the meaning that's underneath
Can only see what the other people see
Seems like we always got the need
To keep repeating 'seeing is believing'
What if what you're seeing is even more misleading
In between perceiving and meaning
Is the ego that filters out things we disagree with
Maybe I'm scratching the surface
Interpreting shadows cast from a world
Going past chasing after some purpose
Without a path out I'll have to be first
You got to take some chances
You’ve drawn so many lines
You got all of the answers
“Maybe some are right”
You got to know there's more
You gotta calm ya pride
You got that open door
“Let's see what we can find”
I've been waiting for the morning sky
In the dark my fire was my only light
Shadows dancing on my walls inside
Of a world that passed me by...until tonight
Come on with me, see the sun
Even if you think there's none
It may seem crazy
To almost everyone
And I know I know I
Gotta go I go I
Leave the cave behind
Stepping out of the prison that I've been in
Since I entered in the world as an infant..(go!)
Never did it hit me that all I knew was empty
Without all of the layers and dimensions (whoa!)
So much beauty in the nuance
you watch simplicity disappear like the dew drops
In the morning sun...and the truth often
is at the extremes in a few lost
souls...where censorship isn't
so the light of conventional wisdom
is bent like a prism sending it splintering into an
infinite sense of vision
You've gotta take some chances
You've drawn so many lines
You've got all of the answers
Maybe some are right
You've gotta know there's more
You've gotta calm the pride
You’ve got an open door
Let's see what we can find
I've been waiting for the morning sky
In the dark my fire was my only light
Shadows dancing on my walls inside
~Of a world that passed me by…~until tonight
Come on with me, see the sun
Even if you think there's none
It may seem crazy
To almost everyone
And I know I know I
Gotta go I go I
Leave the cave behind
want to go back to explain that this
amazing world beyond that cave exists
when you point out the chains and show the mistakes
they look at you like you're dangerous
it's hard to transcend the conflict
when it seems your identity is dependent on it
I can't really judge that hard
my escape from the cave is just getting started
I've been waiting for the morning sky
In the dark my fire was my only light
Shadows dancing on my walls inside
Of a world that passed me by...until tonight
Come on with me, see the sun
Even if you think there's none
It may seem crazy
To almost everyone
And I know I know I
Gotta go I go I
Leave the cave behind

No One Left To Blame
04:10
|
|||
Here we go again, the moment that
it hits ya it’s now over with
I tried, failed, I’m throwing in
the towel now I’m more convinced
…they must not get it
just forget it, I regret
i ever let myself get in this mess
looking for acceptance, it’s pathetic
can’t quite put my finger on
-why they won’t sing my songs
maybe if I explain
why everything they think is wrong
they’ll see the error of their ways
embarrassed the way they made a mistake
when they didn’t shake with emotion
when my logic stared in their face
Ok, I was right
how come I am all on my own
(my own…my own…my own)
staring in the mirror
trying to dodge every stone that I’ve thrown
(I’ve thrown…I’ve thrown…I’ve thrown)
ducking down down to the dirt
trying to find out who deserves
to be the excuse that i’m using first
falling in the trap of looking at the world around me
no no no no no no, couldn’t be about me
won’t somebody come and take it all away
but now there is no one left to blame
won’t somebody come and take it all away
but now there is no one left to blame…
Stopping the music, not gonna do it
Anymore, forgot what a nuisance
It is when you want to communi-
cate, but wait, you’re talking to humans
how can you have all these emotions
in between the things you think
and anything resembling
logic and not even know it?
starting to resent it
hard to prevent the pent up
feelings of contempt from entering
a little bit and i’m tempted
I’m better than ‘em anyway
then I pay attention to the sentiment embedded
in their melodies, telling me truths more eloquent
than anything intelligent that I could ever say
Ok, I was right
how come I am all on my own
(my own…my own…my own)
staring in the mirror
trying to dodge every stone that I’ve thrown
(I’ve thrown…I’ve thrown…I’ve thrown)
ducking down down to the dirt
trying to find out who deserves
to be the excuse that i’m using first
falling in the trap of looking at the world around me
no no no no no no, couldn’t be about me
won’t somebody come and take it all away
but now there is no one left to blame
won’t somebody come and take it all away
but now there is no one left to blame…
i didn't see the line
of good and evil running through my mind
if you only look for evil in the hearts of other people
then it might consume you
It might consume you
there’s no one left to blame
nah nah nah
nah nah nah
no one left to blame
nah nah nah
nah nah nah
no one left to blame
nah nah nah
Ok, I was right
how come I am all on my own
(my own…my own…my own)
staring in the mirror
trying to dodge every stone that I’ve thrown
(I’ve thrown…I’ve thrown…I’ve thrown)
ducking down down to the dirt
trying to find out who deserves
to be the excuse that i’m using first
falling in the trap of looking at the world around me
no no no no no no, couldn’t be about me
won’t somebody come and take it all away
but now there is no one left to blame
won’t somebody come and take it all away
but now there is no one left to blame…
i didn't see the line
of good and evil running through my mind
if you only look for evil in the hearts of other people
then it might consume you
It might consume you
there’s no one left to blame
nah nah nah

Daylight
03:23
|
|||
I’ve seen cruelty resembling hell
from people who felt they were helping and did everything well
projecting their demons onto everyone else
so the abuse was like a secret that they kept from themselves
the moment they hurt you leaving you scarred
they play the victim, seeking virtue from being a martyr
the more you believe the persona you’re flaunting is who you are
the shadow lurking under it will be even darker
i only knew strength in its most brutal form
learned to repress the impulse the moment it’s born
brought down my sails to get my boat through the storm
but surrender brings the closest vultures to swarm
my harmlessness was making me proud
but mixed with resentment it makes a dangerous crowd
kindness from weakness tends to fade with the power
manifesting as aggression on display by a coward
daylight
shining down all around me
to show me where my shadows roam
so i can face them on my own
daylight
trying to find the strength inside me
to step into the darkest night
and come out on the other side
when my righteousness peaks in its confidence
the shadow hiding behind it sneaks into my consciousness
like a trojan horse trying to trick me
to get in through my open doors to see if he can conquer it
exploiting my void to poison me
that strength in my veins is a joy I can’t avoid
the schadenfreude got me toying with the thought I gotta join him
destroying every bit of the little kid that’s loitering
can’t suppress the best in me yet
turn the strength against the shadow till he senses my threat
peace needs strength to keep aggressors in check
but when it’s excessive there’s no peace left to protect
hold the shadow close to find the pieces to maintain
to integrate it in a way that puts a leash on it to tame it
so in the darkest night i keep shining
when the daylight comes my shadow is right there behind me
x2
daylight
shining down all around me
to show me where my shadows roam
so i can face them on my own
daylight
trying to find the strength inside me
to step into the darkest night
and come out on the other side
won’t you let me sing you a love song
find you in the dark
hiding under the rubble that comes from the struggles
that have broken me apart

Shooting Stars
03:38
|
|||
something was hiding deep under his smile
like a filter that he built up as a means for his survival
he saw people like creatures in the wild
who could never be his equal so he treats them like a child
she had eyes that mislead you for a while
confidence hid her trauma and she seemed so in denial
holding anger repeatedly recycled
through a lens that only sensed an endless stream of different rivals
seems their paths seldom could have crossed
like momentum would repel them, keep them held up in their box
and they’d never feel welcome there to talk
cause he thought all of his feelings and she felt all of her thoughts
Baby we’re just shooting stars
Flying through a concrete sky
Trying to get through the dark
Before we’re lost in time
Pulling each other along the way
Trying to see the light beyond the pain
Before we go
Gotta keep hoping that we might
As long as we both can sing our song
walls can be broken seems like
as long as we both can sing our song
he started speaking like he’d been keeping a secret
something about him sounded like she needed to defeat him
but she couldn’t see that the
words were a cry for freedom that didn’t mean what they seemed to her
hanging in the air like smoke from a cigarette
second hand pain that both sides are living with
choked up his eyes spoke life to bitterness
as sentiments in her own mind grew more venomous
ya know it’s kind of intimate
when ya both holding a grenade without the pin in it
dependent on each other to trade without the triggering
for a bit the others pain seems now legitimate
regret flashed quickly on his face
but inside of her own prison couldn’t give him an escape
product of a marriage in between two traitors
misdirected anger and miscommunication
Baby we’re just shooting stars
Flying through a concrete sky
Trying to get through the dark
Before we’re lost in time
Pulling each other along the way
Trying to see the light beyond the pain
Before we go
Gotta keep hoping that we might
As long as we both can sing our song
walls can be broken seems like
as long as we both can sing our song
things got so heated in between them that both of them
had to flee the scene just to regain their composure
moving apart, they started feeling even closer
like secretly a seed was sown that seemed to keep on growing
words echoing, repeating like a pulse
through their heads, through the pain and the ego that results
what if he isn’t evil and repulsive
and is smart enough to see things that she didn’t even notice?
and his feelings became more approachable
why did he get angry that she was so emotional?
the weaknesses each of them exposed
to the other, sent them on a path to reach some kind of closure
a conflict created and propelled
by projecting on each other what they hated in themselves
and when their paths crossed later you could tell
attraction filled the room up like fate knew how to help
Baby we’re just shooting stars
Flying through a concrete sky
Trying to get through the dark
Before we’re lost in time
Pulling each other along the way
Trying to see the light beyond the pain
Before we go
Gotta keep hoping that we might
As long as we both can sing our song
walls can be broken seems like
as long as we both can sing our song

The Way Home
03:32
|
|||
My way my way my way.......home
never get too far away
my way my way my way.......home
sometimes it’s hard to say
we got a love that cuts the deepest
when scars intersect like puzzle pieces
falling in love is easy
but it seems we're destined to confront our demons
like "woah"......
it's like we're standing here talking to our past, revealing
the battle between healing and concealing
it's appealing to cover up the feeling before we have to deal with it
standing behind my defenses
forget how green my side of the fence is
get so tired of the miscommunication
losing patience I can be tempted
into a mindset attempting
to fight preemptively
preventing me from the sting of anything you say that can get to me
emptying wounds till there's room for the empathy
toni-i-ight i’ll testify
I’ll testify
toni-i-ight i’ll testify
I’ll testify
we've been racing through the dark
to fix our broken parts
you've got my love.
won't let you feel alone
I may not be the type to shout it
don't let there be a doubt
you got my love
and when I'm lost you are the way home
everything changes with time
man can't step into the same river twice
the moment the interaction happens
we're different than our past, only names'll survive
......so we started to drift
apart, part of it was our need to shift
priorities ignoring our scars in the midst
of the bliss of devoting our hearts to the kids
should have been smarter than this
took for granted the bargain that the spark had been lit
and the farther it gets
the eyes start wandering it's hard to resist
but truth has always been the anchor
to keep us from hitting the rocks when in danger
hearing it can be painful
but I'm thankful everyday you and I always find our way home
toni-i-ight i’ll testify
I’ll testify
toni-i-ight i’ll testify
I’ll testify
we've been racing through the dark
to fix our broken parts
you've got my love.
won't let you feel alone
I may not be the type to shout it
don't let there be a doubt
you got my love
and when I'm lost you are the way home
you’ve got my love
you’ve got my love
my love

Better For You
03:46
|
|||
the moment I found out that you were coming
was so excited but knew that under
the surface I worried the pain that I buried
when younger could one day return with the love
...but soon
you were moving inside of the womb,
on the ultrasound you'd light up the room
heard our voices while we spied
smiling wide, then hiding like you
were trying to communicate
the same kind of excitement that I have
that might have desire for quiet combined with it too
nine months to get you ready
the contractions hitting every
minute seems a bit too heavy
quickly heading to the doctor
sit there with you, kissed the belly
just to tell you I can't wait to meet you
see your face and the way the family fits together
when I saw you it just got better
tears came down and quickly every
bit of pain disappeared like it was never here *
My whole life
Been looking back
On what might have been
Now I have tomorrow again
When I wake up every day
Gotta work to find a way
I can be better for you
I’ll make mistakes like anyone
Try to fix them when they come
I can be better for you
See my life, life, life, life
Pass before me in your eyes
I can be better for you
Better for you, yeah
I can be better for you
Every night when you get in bed
you reflect upon the things you did
that day, you take your fingertips
link them with mine
and bring them to your face
as you begin to trace the shape of your smile
and lay their awhile like you're connecting with that place
and I know you remember everything
in a way that i've never seen but you only really ever seem
to stop and think about whether things
are negative for a second
before you reconnect the feeling
to blend in with the best ones
give you a kiss good night and I'm left
finding my breath hiding behind all the stress
cause my heart is beating inside of your chest
but you wake up full of excitement and possibility
I hope that maybe the light you've got is still in me, still in me
My whole life
Been looking back
On what might have been
Now I have tomorrow again
x2
When I wake up every day
Gotta work to find a way
I can be better for you
I’ll make mistakes like anyone
Try to fix them when they come
I can be better for you
See my life, life, life, life
Pass before me in your eyes
I can be better for you
Better for you, yeah
I can be better for you

Rain Keeps Falling
03:11
|
|||
always had my mind on the future
helped me survive and get through
all the times that i felt that i might be consumed
just as soon as this life gets kind of abusive
as a child hiding my bruises
like maybe when I’m older I can fight if I choose to
getting used to waiting
evading today maybe this way I’ll see improvement
truth is i’m stuck in my ways
even as I got older and my luck seemed to change
don’t need to struggle every day
to get by, and i got somewhere that’s safe
to stay, and a little love to keep me sane
no longer does my hunger turn to pain
there’s not really much to complain
about so why am I under the rain
i know that I survived
the storms that passed so I
could see the sun
so why does the rain keep falling down
can’t find
a cloud up in the sky
not even one
so why does the rain keep falling down
can hide and go inside
and hope a brighter day will come
but what if it’s here right now
kind of funny in a way, I
have everything and nothing at the same time
life called my bluff and then i played my
cards, hardly was enough i had to pay twice
upping the ante
if only they would just understand me
can’t be running around all over town
hunting down my suffering like some vigilante
caught up in the movie of my life
reviewing it, even though I knew there’s no rewind
there’s always something new that I could find
to improve this movie, this is how i use my time
lost in a daydream
even though the world that I’ve got is amazing
if i can just breathe
the rain that i’m feeling will be washing my slate clean
i know that I survived
the storms that passed so I
could see the sun
so why does the rain keep falling down
can’t find
a cloud up in the sky
not even one
so why does the rain keep falling down
can hide and go inside
and hope a brighter day will come
but what if it’s here right now
X4
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
i know that I survived
the storms that passed so I
could see the sun
so why does the rain keep falling down
can’t find
a cloud up in the sky
not even one
so why does the rain keep falling down
can hide and go inside
and hope a brighter day will come
so why does the rain keep falling down
can hide and go inside
and hope a brighter day will come
but what if it’s here right now

Quarantine
02:53
|
|||
i need to understand the world that i’m running into
even if it leads me deeper to uncomfortable truths
working back through the layers it’s a wonderful view
but every now and then you’re bound to stumble into taboo
taboo is a dangerous turf to defend
even when you’re explaining it perfectly
it gets translated in their heads
in a way that it makes sense within their framework of beliefs
but some of them may do it purposely
turning strawmen into stakes made for burning me
motivated by certainty
if I disagree with anything they say that makes me a racist, it worries me
that it’s become unsafe to diverge, I see
my family could get hurt from this chase for the purity
this place is absurdity
everyone thinks the same about everything while praising their diversity
where do I go
when my truth can not be told
like my mind is a disease
quarantine
where do I go
when virtue is on patrol
and i just disagree
quarantine
i’m not your enemy, nah
just trying to find some freedom
oh great, everybody’s woke
now you can all pretend to be offended by a joke
find someone thinking different, quickly hang him from a rope
how dare they not celebrate the emperor’s new clothes!
ever since I can remember
my mind made me an outsider so i didn’t fit
told me I was a genius, i tried to resist
because it gets lonely all alone inside of your head
i wanted to be like other kids
but didn’t want to get lost while I was finding that bridge
decided not to hide the thoughts that I have
cause the sacrifice has a price that’s twice as big
so i spoke my mind despite what they said
my whole life but now i might be quiet instead
cause how many death threats do I need to get
before I consider that one of them might be legit?
where do I go
when my truth can not be told
like my mind is a disease
quarantine
where do I go
when virtue is on patrol
and i just disagree
quarantine
x2
i’m not your enemy, nah
just trying to find some freedom
where oh where do I go

A Moment

sometimes I need escape
from living to survive
i just need some space
where i can close my eyes
woke up early in the morning, yawning, wanna close my eyes
without warning, saw the phone blinking, caught me by surprise
rushed to check it, probably wasn’t wise
but i saw that it was coming from my father’s lovely wife
the message said “your father had a stroke
had to go to the hospital and since he hasn’t spoken”
frozen, noticing how powerfully
our beliefs shift when parents show you their mortality
and i don’t know what challenges
lay ahead, wanna stay in bed but my kids are crying out to me
good morning, time to be a father
a little more behind it when mine is in the hospital
and sometimes it feels impossible
and lost in all this i got hostile and i got into
a fight with my wife, as the words flew across the room
wished i could pause all of this, i’ve got a lot to lose
sometimes I need escape
from living to survive
i just need some space
where i can close my eyes
all i need, all I need is a moment
alone here in my mind
so i can be, i can be home in
the rest of the world outside
i just need to be lost, into the deep thoughts
time begins to end
and silence sings its song to me
til I come back again
such a lucky man, stuck in traffic, feeling like I might combust
and have a breakdown, what’s the matter? must have had
a hundred little things frustrating me, but nothing happened, just been adding up
feeling weighed down, just now had enough
don’t have it rough, there’s much bigger problems than I have
want that thought to calm me, but it’s not really distracting
probably is a can of worms unconsciously that has me worried
bubbling up, responsible for having turned me
maybe i’m just feeling unproductive
like i haven’t done enough constructive since I had some luck hit
even though my daughter and my son are growing up with
all my knowledge and my love so they’ll never know a “what if”?
but am i an example in their eyes
if i can’t go and decide to give my talents a good try?
it’s a challenge getting balances just right
but i need a moment now before the next round in this fight
sometimes I need escape
from living to survive
i just need some space
where i can close my eyes
x2
all i need, all I need is a moment
alone here in my mind
so i can be, i can be home in
the rest of the world outside
i just need to be lost, into the deep thoughts
time begins to end
and silence sings its song to me
til I come back again
