Dreamed all I could Your words took me far I just want to make it to where it doesn't end Have not panicked its just I noticed the edge Did it catch your attention Its possible you missed it There aren't enough places I could be Excuses ever present To keep us in check Maybe there are too many Ways to hinder my progression Your hand by my side While the other holds a knife Ready to strike Be quick to decide Doors keeps closing uncontended You started to push me away And honestly I'm done pushing back I'm done with your fake conscience Your ego's too high to climb So step out of the cage We built a key some time ago A ruined image isn't worth the risk Kept it too close to surface So step out of the cage We built a key some time ago Hiding provoked a jailbreak Don't say you lost it Summer's coming a bit too fast The waves The destination Roads not trekked Feeling impatient Awaiting The skies forecast our postulation My speeches are so sharp they're practically daggers I'll use them to slit your throat And usurp your throne Remember you told me to wait but lady this ship is leaving Away I have history yet unwritten I have hung like a doll from a crane Falling over and under again This prize still unclaimed Riches won't grant an easy win I have hung like a doll from a crane Falling over and under again Riches won't grant an easy win This is a test of perseverance My speeches are so sharp they're practically daggers I'll use them to slit your throat And usurp your throne Remember you told me to wait but lady this ship is leaving Away I have history yet unwritten A future within grasp Are my words reaching? The chance to link hearts But will you really mean it? We've established the difficulty We've established the challenge I'll back away from the precipice And find the right trail

Shaken and out of mind Tired of the run Why did your actions outspeed mine Did I try to hide How many times did the exit sign shine Taken and used Like a helpless rhyme I was abused How did I ever trust in your lies I couldn't see past those eyes Tortured while blind (Baby, baby) It's too late you've hit the floor (Mayday, mayday) This bomb's about to explode And I won't be around to take the blow Look around guess who's a whore Overseas fabrication Mass produced ambitions Pain being sold as a cure Suppress all that can't be quantified You believed I'd be okay with being your toy That's a maybe that you'll never know We can't hide inside memories Create the illusion of being controlled These mirrors betrayed Your naked body Behind your reflection I saw myself torn Where should I go These moments we had so far gone No, I will not mourn Here's to hoping I'll last through the day The mess, your shame is there no end A lifeless body screams I want to live Once upon a time Aesthetic dominated The world but Have we really changed It's all fake Please provoke my senses Enlighten this empty shell Please provoke my senses Enlighten me Step by step I Restore my Distorted mind Oh step by step I Take back my My life The steps we take The picture blurs This is not my fault But I'm trying to solve

Having grown so accustomed to chatter Once silence struck I knew not what to say Please don't get closer I'm allergic to the exposure But I want you here Haven't made up my mind About this feeling; I'm uneasy I dream of a crash I see the shrapnel fly But haven't found the cause The images are so loud, they're haunting Can I ask myself am I awake And what are my symptoms I hear the fan blade spinning Blowing my thoughts away With no clouds left in sight Where is this rain coming from A storm brewing inside Imperfections take shape Who let them out? Admitting I'm better without? I was trapped freedom came with a cost Hunt to ascend to a level beyond Beyond your flask I was never normal to start Streets are lined with what used to be The inhabitants of the land Whose lives sacrificed and left behind Voices Voices that won't give up A life in confinement Was the cause for such misbehavior Extraterrestrial. Shut up and listen My words are meant to trick you No one wind me down I don't need praise The mirror's fine Setting out to destroy The inferior abundance of shallow hearts How do I measure my greatness With no one alive to compare? Making history has been An unwanted addition to my list of deeds Admire the statues erected of me

I decided to sit down and write our story Before the fall is done Replay the years forever lost The ink on this page Will stay to say How we threw out opportunity Rip the script in two You've lost the right to talk to me I just can't put up with your whining It's too much to force down Too much to hold on to I'll play my own part this time You've lost the right Don't cry to me I'm out of the fight I swear I'm out I'm done with this war you've been fighting You've lost the right Don't cry to me I'm out of the fight I've left you behind Don't talk to me I'll play my own part Device a new plan without you in mind The pen curves and slides on the page Who'll dare to read Before memories lose weight Replay the years forever lost The ink of this page Will stay to say How I learned and moved on Your way of life Left me at war with myself Everyday from my insides I heard cries You went out of your way to fail Look at you now Trying to be heard Among so many desperate poet's souls A voice so unsure of where it wants to go Why? Did this satisfy you? Have you an answer? I stood on the edge Eleventh floor I swear you're not worth it I'll find an excuse To delay the jump Or jump of my own design I'll find an excuse to delay the jump Jump for better reasons

You and me girl, let’s just be Nothing else matters in the whole world to me You are my zombie apocalypse bride to be You are my partner in crime, side with me You make me feel high aviator fly with me We’re going up into orbit galaxies If you see a shooting star will you fire with me And if I hit the ocean floor will you dive with me 'Cause in a split second baby I would die for you If you feel sad baby I'll revive for you If you’re scared I will be your superman for you And if you’re mad I will split the whole world in two Baby, do you feel me calling out? Pay no mind when jealous voices arise Scream right back that in the end you’ll be mine 'Cause I’ve been shutting out these voices That always bring me doubt, they only bring me down Saw you hand in hand with the wrong man Saw you holding his hand Decide Am I not what you were looking for? Behind this door Lies more than you’ve ever called yours So don’t hesitate, let’s be honest Decide It’s just a matter of time before girl you’ll be begging for mine I didn’t want to have to call you a whore But you can’t break this cycle on your own Given a chance Commit with all the strength I have Give me a chance I’ll show you who I am Stay with me girl It was so hard just to find you See you made me believe that happiness is Where you and I live The road lies ahead (Don’t be afraid) Waiting for us to take a step (Don’t be afraid) Forget the hands that touched your body Don’t you worry, I’m not asking Forget the hands that touched your body I’m not asking, don’t you worry Just embrace me We’ll manage along the way Tomorrow’s not soon enough I spend the night pacing in my head For the call to ring the sound of our beginning

What do I know of pain? Should I know suffering? Having everything taken away from me Now it so happens I can't move A question pierces me Will this be my deathbed? The darkest places in my head Replay the sequence of events Leading up to this hospital bed My will struggled to survive On the chance I'd see you again I was trapped My body broken Restrained on this bed As the waves of shame hit Its too late to regret Can I try and forget Would you forgive me? No one seems to give me a chance I didn't mean to abandon Your hand slipped from my grasp I still remember Calling out your name Waving at the distance As we go our separate ways Days continued to escape me Numb from all the medicine Aching pain the alternative I almost lost hope Diving into memories Was the only escape I tried to block out the accident That took my son away Where is the brighter day? Is it too far to see? Does it even exist? Can I get up to face the pain of your name on a grave What do I know of pain? Should I know suffering? Having everything taken away from me Now it so happens I can move By will, by force and grind I'll stand at the cemetery

Hail Santa 04:09
When did I acquire such a reckless state of mind Feeling on top of everything and everyone Even if some say I'm not I am closer than most Up here its so cold But I've never felt alone This lifestyles not meant for all I walk to path alone I've got nothing to show There's no secret path The route I walked was hidden by these hands By my hands No soul can follow without a determined mind Is there no one willing to reach these heights? Those of you feeling shipwrecked The sea won't swallow your pride Put your hope into action Continue to move on At one point my life was stranded Going in circles Crashing face first against the walls Not fast enough I looked to the sky And then I learned to climb Please give back my pants A faint drum roll echoed in the corner of my head Just when the fog began to lift Doubt was pulling me down Victory almost cast away Then against my common sense I took a step towards the edge
