Reality

Lately I've been stuck in a daydream
Thinking just maybe,
life has become clear to me
The moments we take for granted
Are how we learn,
from the mistakes we've made
These are the days of the times in which we had
Never thought that we'd get em back
And now it's all up to us and the things we do
This is our reality
Starring me and you
Life can be a maze full of dead ends
Thought we find our way back on the right path
I've struggled to find the answers
Though I've finally seen how to live
We learn from all of the past times
That's what makes us who we are today
Don't let the downs keep you from sinking
Always have a positive outlook on life
If you find yourself struggling for hope
Just know your not alone
Life will guide you to where you need to be
You will find your way

Lonely Soul
03:55
|

|
I hear your foot steps on the floorboards above
just like cellophane you just keep clinging to me
What is your purpose
For your presence tonight?
The night air breaths out your silent screams
I'm just trying to find a way to get myself out of this dream
Do you need my guidance?
Cause even the loneliest souls need help finding their way back home
There's a ghost in my presence
And I'm not sure if he's here to send me a sign
Or simply haunt my nightly pleasant dreams
Your still calling and I don't know how to cope
With these sleepless nights of wondering why you need my help
Is it love your after,
Or fear your seeking?
Your echos wake me like a storm in the night
I think I've finally had it with your selfish cries
Yeah I see it now
You we were lost and now your found
There's a ghost in my presence
And now I'm sure he's found his way back into the light
And I can finally sleep at peace knowing I've saved a lonely soul
Now I can finally sleep at peace knowing I've saved a lonely soul
Cause even the loneliest souls need help finding their way back home

Shell
03:15
|

|
So break me out from this shell
Cause I don't think I can do this on my own
I can't control my disquieting thoughts
But how does this come from a man with a cheerful heart
I aim to please the world before myself
Cause I'm scared to death of the outcome
The fear of what they'll think of me
So down and enjoy life
There's no cause for alarm
Its like being at war
A constant battle of frustration on the inside
But is there a method to this madness
And the thoughts that consume my mind
I will find my way
The inner me will soon break away
I will find my way
So break me out from this shell
Cause I don't think I can do this on my own

The Truth
03:23
|
|||
|
We're all left behind
Living life out on our own
In a world so black and white
We search for what matters most
They will come and go
Though the ones who stick by
Will be the ones to keep
Cause I know the truth
You are nothing like me
And I know that you
Will only drag you down
Would you change the past
if you knew how
I wish I knew back then
what I know now
They'll say I've got your back
but when the time is near
they won't be there
Cause with growing up
you learn to ask yourself
are they right for you?
They will come and go
Though the ones who stick by
Will be the ones to keep
Cause with growing up
you learn to ask yourself
do they deserve your time?
are they right for you?

Remember
04:40
|
|||
|
What do you say we come back home
And start over
Cause it seems like yesterday we had this all figured out
And your not coming back
Days have past and months have gone by
since the first time I've seen your face
I never thought a love like this could fade
The summer breeze and the memories of us together
were bitter sweet
I never really thought that this how things could be
But that was then and this is now and I can see that were going down
So please remember me for the man that I've become
I know we've gone our separate ways and things were left unsaid
Since now you've gone away and left me in misery
I know there's not much left to say but trust me your not alone
Your not alone now
The pictures I kept were just not enough to keep my mind at ease
through these times of desperate needs
I need you now more than ever cause I can't go on like this forever
But that was then and this is now and I can see that were going down
The things I'd do to see you smile again
I'd give my everything
I'd give my all
