The Glow

I belong to something better than what I’ve become.
I’ll try for my life to keep it all going, in spite of all that has happened.
I used to think I knew everything that I just had to do to keep a grip on what I loved.
Everything just fell from up above.
It seems that I was broken.
I used to think that it was hopeless.
It isn’t the best yet.
Now I run for no one, yet cling to what matters the most.
Admire the glow, ‘cause now I’m done.
Let me come clean. It’s just what it seems.
Easygoing, don’t bother to question the presence of all that can help you.
I can tell that we are the ones who wake up with all of the weight gone.
It’s true, more than you know, this life will always have something to show.
It will still be your heart that I will guard, even when my faith has gone too far.
It seems that I was broken.
I used to think that it was hopeless.
It isn’t the best yet.
Now I run for no one, yet cling to what matters the most.
Admire the glow, ‘cause now I’m done.
Let me come clean. It’s just what it seems.
So cherish the wrong, and forget the battered minds that we all hang onto.

Ancient

I hope you know that there has never been a time I didn’t care, but I can’t stay here.
70 days and no excuse, looking for a question.
It’s ancient now.
I’ve been so clung to every crime, never stopped to think about if it’s worth the time.
I hope you know that there has never been a time I didn’t care, but I can’t stay here.
I’m facing facts I never thought i’d be hearing.
Forget those dreams, they won’t be forgiven.
It’s nice to see it this way.
Another world outside what I thought existed.
It’s strange to think that I won’t be missing that life as time goes on.
70 days, no end in sight.
Let me go away from here to where I belong.
It shows to be so hard to coexist with all the things I thought I knew, with how they are.
I hope you know that there has never been a time I didn’t care, but I can’t stay here.
I’m facing facts I never thought i’d be hearing.
Forget those dreams, they won’t be forgiven.
It’s nice to see it this way.
Another world outside what I thought existed.
It’s strange to think that I won’t be missing that life as time goes on.
I may be the one who will walk away, but you’re the one who left.
I’m facing facts I never thought i’d be hearing.
Forget those dreams, they won’t be forgiven.
It’s nice to see it this way.
Another world outside what I thought existed.
It’s strange to think that I won’t be missing that life as time goes on.
I’m facing facts, I can’t go back.
It’s too late.
So sorry, I can’t stay here.
I hope you know that there has never been a time I didn’t care, but I can’t stay here.

Majesty

I’ll do my best to escape those dreams that rely on forgotten ways, but fail the test meant to gather thoughts for a clear air that’s free of haze.
What is it I’m running from? To escape the things I will become?
It must be easy for you to say but it is not your choice to make.
I’ll take tragedy and mix it up with clarity, and fantasy with all your lies your majesty.
I see you. It’s never been so hard for me to go.
Take those strides, more than enough to satisfy, and realize good fortune never seems to hide.
I’ll see you again.
It’s never been so hard for me to pretend.
The setting sun gives a pleasant feel to the wounds that will never heal.
The fragile grip on what we hold dear won’t make up for our fatal fear.
It seems as though we’ll never learn.
Your heart, it breaks at every turn.
And yeah, it was all just a huge mistake, but I would not ever wish that it went any other way.
I’ll take tragedy and mix it up with clarity, and fantasy with all your lies your majesty.
I see you. It’s never been so hard for me to go.
Take those strides, more than enough to satisfy, and realize good fortune never seems to hide.
I’ll see you again.
It’s never been so hard for me to pretend.
It’s never felt so lost, oh well.

Erase Me

Idle dreams keep the foolish pleased. Stay your own and beat the cycle.
It’s truly war, but you don’t keep score. It just goes, and it’s amazing.
It’s like we forgot all of our dreams before writing the meanings, then life came around.
It’s time disguised as healing. Remember that feeling? What if I do forever?
Oh god.
It’s the pain we all need. Remember the dreams we all grieved?
’Cause I never forgot them, yeah, we sure felt alive.
Erase the days we all love, ‘cause what is the point when they’re gone?
I still can’t get enough. It’s no wonder that we’re lost.
It’s times like these when regrets won’t leave, when you stall but watch the clock tick on.
There’s much to learn but it’s not your turn. Stand your ground, they’re always watching.
It’s like we forgot all of our dreams before writing the meanings, please god…
It’s the pain we all need. Remember the dreams we all grieved?
’Cause I never forgot them, yeah, we sure felt alive.
Erase the days we all love, ‘cause what is the point when they’re gone?
I still can’t get enough. It’s no wonder that we’re lost.
Idle dreams keep the foolish pleased. Stay your own and beat the cycle.
It’s truly war, but you don’t keep score. Stand your ground.
It’s no wonder that we’re lost, I know.
