Where You Want to Go

Maybe I was tired
Of the way people change.
Every day, looking on, as people move away,
Moments gone to waste.
Maybe I was tired
Of the way people stay the same.
Holding on to memories, ancient philosophies
That don't mean a thing.
So high
That's where I want to be.
So low
Repeated history.
Maybe it's just me.
But then heaven and earth and collide
In a mystery.
Stars will fall into my hands, hearts will move, the sun will dance,
Minds will be at ease.
And then nothing will stand between me
And the future days.
Life is short, a fragile love, God I hope it is enough.
But I will just have to wait and see.
Maybe I was tired
Of losing what I had gained.
Invested all I ever had in visions and dreams,
Temporary feelings.
Know that I am not proud
Of what I say and think about, every time I open my mouth
I speak too loud.
So high
That's where I want to be.
So low
Repeated history.
Maybe it's just me.
But then heaven and earth and collide
In a mystery.
Stars will fall into my hands, hearts will move, the sun will dance,
Minds will be at ease.
And then nothing will stand between me
And the future days.
Life is short, a fragile love, God I hope it is enough.
But I will just have to wait and see.
So long to everything that I know.
I have no idea where I will go.
You know that it's always easier looking back
To know what to do.
No it's not easy when you are confused.
Just know that
You will get to where you want to.

Seasons

Over all these years
Words adding up to a moment's passing sigh.
You know we all have
Fears and lies we've told. Set these aside.
I know yesterday is gone, and maybe tomorrow too.
It's easy enough just getting on. I often forget to move
And I want to change.
Seasons turn to dust in a second
while seconds keep rhythm with time.
The music of the wasted days overwhelms my mind and soul.
The future and the past are blinding
And change is in the blink of an eye
The portrait of the present day overwhelms my mind and soul.
After all this time
People come and go through forgotten memories.
You know we all try
To make the most of these fleeting lines.
I know yesterday is gone, and maybe tomorrow too.
It's easy enough just getting on. I often forget to move
And I want to change.
Seasons turn to dust in a second
while seconds keep rhythm with time.
The music of the wasted days overwhelms my mind and soul.
The future and the past are blinding
And change is in the blink of an eye
The portrait of the present day overwhelms my mind and soul.

All Good Things
03:36

All good things, they come to an end.
Casualties of time and circumstance.
But every now and then,
Something lasts and it's for the better.
Fortunate to experience
Love that lasted through thick and thin.
I'm indebted to that time spent
Because it made me a better man.
In the moment it's hard to see the end.
Later on it's easy to forget.
Hold on to lessons passing through.
You're a part of me, and I'm a part of you.
It's easy to resent the things that make you grow.
I understand discomfort and anxiety are products of
A change in spirit, in thought, in love,
But these feelings make us who we are from the bottom to the top.
It's easy to lose sight when overwhelmed by the world's
Burdens and chaotic needs breaking down your bones.
I give in so easily to the hatred in my soul.
My commitment to a change in action fades and I feel alone.
In the moment it's hard to see the end.
Later on it's easy to forget.
Hold on to lessons passing through.
You're a part of me, and I'm a part of you.

Dialogue

I can't focus on the light
I hope to God something will change.
It feels like I am viewing life
Through a dirty window pane.
Complicate my jaded sight
With immoral ecstasy.
I play it safe and waste my time
I take a risk, eliminate the future.
What I mean is there's a difference
In belief, perception, faith.
Two opposing sentiments,
A dialogue, an empty space.
First is God and absolute,
Second is the relative.
Uncertainty of which is true
Haunts my choices and it's killing me.
It's the prospect of an afterlife,
The coming of a judgement day,
That forces me to reconcile
All of my awful mistakes.
Simple happiness abides
In a crude romantic place.
But should I go or should I stay?
To risk regret for memories exchanged.

Lost my Name

Thank you for the kindness that you showed me yesterday.
I'm sorry that I came off wrong and couldn't reciprocate.
The emptiness residing at the bottom of my fate
Got the best of me, and I lost my place.
It's true it happens to us all,
Minds will wander, and hearts will fall for another.
Stand tall,
but do not let your guard down.
Don't notice me,
Don't speak my name.
Because when you do
My pride will take over.
All my thoughts and
All my ways,
They will hurt my soul and
Cause me pain.
Thank you for the patience that you freely gave away.
I'm sorry that I wasted it and disrespected your name.
The rage and the hypocrisy that occupies my hate
Got the best of me and I lost my faith.
It's true it happens to us all,
Minds will wander, and hearts will fall for another.
Stand tall,
but do not let your God down.
Don't notice me,
Don't speak my name.
Because when you do
My pride will take over.
All my thoughts and
All my ways,
They will hurt my soul and
Cause me pain.
I believe that you are mine,
But I'm afraid you'll leave me behind.
I know that sounds insane but it's what I feel.
It is my grave. It is my shame. It is my name.
Don't notice me,
Don't speak my name.
Because when you do
My pride will take over.
All my thoughts and
All my ways,
They will hurt my soul and
Cause me pain.
