Clouded mind of mine
Worried about small things to happen yet
And the worst things to come
I take steps back
To fix myself
For the upcoming future
Regretting moments as i learn how to live
A better life
Away i go
I forgot how to fly
Gazing back on past memories
Say how foolish i was
Lookin back on past memories
And yell how stupid i was
We've forgot the thing we've been looking for
All these sad years
That thing we've been looking for is...
LOVE!!!
Like stretch marks across angered faces
We stress the chance at failing this
But we'll be happy again
We all work to get paid
Wishing all of it would just go away
But we'll be happy again
Away we go
We forgot how to fly
Look down and see that burden you be carrying now
You know what you must go and do
Cut loose that anchor!
Cut loose the anchor
For a hopeful future
Cut loose the anchor
For hopeful futures

Life seems to answer cases we question
For since we live it we strive to answer the unknown
Knowing things keeps us living a better life
Keep in mind though we all learn through failure.
Come on!
Test our morals now and later
Say!
Have we matured?
I don't know!
I'll let you answer that yourself mister
I'll let you answer that yourself my friend
The paths you take decides your forever happy ending
I hope you bring someone along with you
This is the path i walk
This is my path away
I will not live by society standards!
This is the path I walk!
This is my path away!

Chicago
05:18
|

Trapped in little boxes place to place
And only one thing keeps that smile on her face
Cold containers rush us here to there
This place is great but we're just not happy anywhere
It walks, and it walks, and it walks away from me
And it pushes away all the things that I've been investing
In the person who's now set aside to a place where I am not
Hear that Chicago din, rumbling, swaying in the wind
This time the dirty side wins, as the rain falls down
This love that I let in has burst out flowing
And it's filthy as the rain, I can feel my toes going
Out come the cameras, things are getting stale
You know a hundred photos can tell some untrue tales
We're all growing, we are all young
But there are so many hopeful futures yet to be sung
It walks, and it walks, and it walks away from me
And it pushes away all the things that I've been investing
But I know it's a natural thing, I'll step forward, I'll let go
Hear that Chicago din, rumbling swaying with the wind
Sometimes the shallow end gets the best of us
But you won't let a feeling win, 'cause your God is with you
You'll be clean after the rain, I can feel our fears going away
I'm glad I've spoken up, when I let it fester, then I forget
That God is on the move, and he always was
I can see a bit better now
Of course emotions will always pull
But I wont face them on my own
On a stoop out in the rain
On a stoop out in the rain...

Sad song playing
Goodness gracious
And the rain came down
Oh I want to
Let me try to
Try to make your day
Make my day
Come on and make my day
By letting me make your day
Make your day, baby

I want to live
A good, simple life
Beauty in self insight
I realize what needs to be told
Give it time
Give it a shot
In this life
Use what you've got
Be true to the world
Be thankful there is one
To live and achieve
Happiness in your passion
Oh Give it time!
Oh Give it a shot
In this life
Use what you got
There is so much more ahead of us
But look how far we've gone

Limitless love
Like a story or a tall tale
Rare to be seen
Because we don't believe in it
It is an unguarded happiness
That we don't know cause we all are selfish
Those striving and searching are forgetting what they have
Please enjoy the little things, at least we should
If you fear losing what you have
Give it away
Have faith and give a smile here or there
And love forevermore because you are alive
So much alive
And the clouds they dissipate to reveal the celestial sun
And the clouds they dissipate to reveal the celestial sun
If you hate, expect, lie, deceive, desire, or fear
You are bound unto the ground, don't you wanna move too?
And reveal something good in you?
Its in our hearts and minds
In some sick disguise
REPEL
You are far better than you think you are
Its in our nature
To go by instinct
Fighting against it makes us
What we are
Through humankind, not everything is possible
But through HIM, ANYTHING is possible
I am unstoppable
You are unstoppable
We are unstoppable
Its in our nature
To go by instinct
Fighting against it makes us
Human.

The Message
04:46
|
|||
Artifacts of earlier visits here
Resurrect past perspective and make it clear
That I have one true self to stay true to
How comforting the way that he moves through you
And struggles bring us back to faith grown weak
All life's downfalls give us a chance to speak
Reiterating truths I've always held so dear
Now all at once I feel so alive right here
AND PAUL SAID!!!
"Do everything readily and cheerfully, no bickering, no second-guessing allowed! Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night so I'll have good cause to be proud of you on the day that Christ returns. You'll be living proof that I didn't go to all this work for nothing." (Philippians 2:14-16 MSG)
So when you're on your way to see a friend
Why not loosen up and choose to spend
A couple dollars on some drinks, tip well
Do not trap yourself in monetary hell
And when you step into that coffee shop
Take just one moment to stop and talk
To the man behind the counter, he is no machine
Maybe conversation is just what he needs
Maybe conversation is just what you need
He is waiting for you
Crying I will always love you
He is waiting for you
Crying I have always loved you
But the decision is left to you
Just know that he will always love you
He is crying for you
This message holds true.

I swear I've cried a thousand tears about you
Oh, the 'blah, blah, blah, come back to me'
Over the piles and piles of songs written about you
Like the radio, 1993
April afternoons, and we'd stay in
Much too ambitious, when will this begin?
Well, balance shifted and you resisted for so long
But if the iron's never thrown through fire
It will not stay strong
So I need you to know, yeah I need you to know
That I swear I've cried a thousand tears about you
Oh, the 'blah, blah, blah, come back to me'
Over the piles and piles of songs written about you
Like the radio, 1993
If you never believe
Enough to take that first step
Then you may never see
The world as it was made to be
The world in all it's beauty
But I know you can believe
Enough to take that first step
And I know that you will see
The world as it was made to be
In overwhelming beauty
Take a step!
I swear I've cried a thousand tears about you
Oh, the 'blah, blah, blah, come back to me'
Over the piles and piles of songs written about you
Like the radio, 1993
And I need you to know that I worry about you
It comes back to me, occasionally
Over the piles and piles of songs written about you
Like the radio, 1993
Its like the radio, 1993
Yeah

Goodbye For Now
05:46
|
|||
I told you what you could do any you listened
For that I thank you, oh we talked so many nights away
And I see now what it put you through to cut ties
Now I need the comforting because I must do the same
Does the pain stay
Once you push the friend away
Or will this moment pass just like the rest
Well, this too shall pass
So these silly feelings won't last
Why do we cling so tightly to parasites?
Thank you for helping me
Because now, I can see
I will say, I will say, I must say
Good friend in the past is what you are
Goodbye with you at their side, no man could make it far
I will not apologize
It is the truth
Remember that I love you
Yeah I remember the good times we've been through
But remember, we cannot be friends
Because I've seen the things that you do when they aren't looking
If they're not in your club, you go on hurting
Your fellow man
My savior, He never did
One evil thing, He was blameless
And the teachings He clearly spoke
I have heard
Love all, this you know
But be careful who you let close
For a friend of a fool
Will be a fool
So, good friend in the past is what you are
Goodbye with you at their side, no man could make it far
Your poisonous company
Is no good for me
My soul, it must be free
For the time
And please don't guilt trip me
In hopes that I'll believe
Some lie
About who you are
Because if you really wanted to change
You wouldn't give yourself some different name
You'd dig deep and start back at the core
Good friend in the past is what you are
Goodbye with you at their side, no man could make it far
Good friend you used to be
Give that some thought
I pray that these words and actions
Aren't all for naught
I hope this helps to see
The man that you could be
Just remember
The change still can be done

No turning back
No turning around
What lies ahead
Is a break time
Our world lies in self destruction
I walk on and smile with the past
The future remains to be unknown
The fog continues to cloud my eyes
Can't find the means to be clean yet
Can i make peace with that?
I'm not running now
stop delay and face your fears
Hey the doors are open now
Freedom is just a step away
Can we leave yet
I take my time to it
And all you fools rush for it
Stop your pushin'
All you fools will keep on pushin'
Perfect string drug us away
And no one is to stop and question
Why its even open at all.
I'm not running now
I'll stop the delay and I'll face my fears
I WILL BE
YOU WILL BE
WE WILL BE JUDGED
You'd rather live then live forever?!
COWARD!!!
I'm not running now, no i've
Stopped delay and faced my fears

Something to Keep
04:29

I have a problem
It swells with fictional ideas
If i let it sit
Will it disappear far from here?
I have a problem
It swells with diseases
If i let it sit
Will it disappear far from here?
Solving the mysteries
Tracking down some enemy
I wanna live but i'm not fit for it
I wanna save you but i'm not fit for it
You won't listen
You have to grow up
And so do i
I cannot save you
Only you can
Why do we follow?
Why do you lead?
Why do you follow?
Why do I lead at all?
Maybe deep down i want my problems to stay
So i can do nothing about it
At all
I wish I could understand myself
like you do.
I have a problem
It swells with fictional ideas
If i let it sit
Will it disappear far from here?
Create the drama
Create entertainment
What are we here for?
Tell me the meaning
Meaning of existing
I've been longing for answers
Stop longing for answers
And just go live

Things of the world
Cloud our minds
With possessions of a lesser value
Sometimes they help us forget
Because we want to just forget
What truly matter
Because its easy
And we don't have the time
Guided by misguided ideas
Led down a road that would
Eventually tear us all apart
We'll forever sleep now
The darkness has consumed us whole
There is more than this life
But, at the same time
I do nothing to get me there
Just following distractions
Just making up excuses
What will become of me?
What will the future bring?
I can already see
The work becoming
Undone
So many things to think about
That's why we have these many days
But our days here are limited
Lets' not wait, not wait
Let's make due now.
Everlasting
Everlasting life
Everlasting light
I don't know it
I don't know that light
All we know right now is an
Instantly gratifying world.
Everlasting
Everlasting life
Everlasting light
We don't know much about that light
So I'll pray
We find out
"A Rose and an Amaranth blossomed side by side in a garden, and the Amaranth said to her neighbor, "How I envy you your beauty and your sweet scent! No wonder you are such a universal favorite." But the Rose replied with a shade of sadness in her voice, "Ah, my dear friend, I bloom but for a time: my petals soon wither and fall, and then I die. But your flowers never fade, even if they are cut; for they are everlasting."
So many things to think about
Thats why we have these many days
But our days here are limited
Let not wait, not wait
Let's make due now
Everlasting
Everlasting life
Everlasting light
