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 wanna be.
So low.
Repeated history.
Maybe it’s just me.
Then heaven and earth 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
It brings me down.
So high.
That’s where I wanna be.
So low.
Repeated history.
Maybe it’s just me.
Then heaven and earth 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 (GP version)

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.
Oh 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 rythym 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.
Oh 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 rythym 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, they come to an end.
Casualties of time and circumstance.
But every now and again
Something lasts and it's for the better.
Fortunate to experience
Love that lasted through thick and thin.
And 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.
And 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.

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.
And its 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.
Cuz when you do my pride will take over
All my thoughts
And all my ways
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.
And its 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.
Cuz when you do my pride will take over
All my thoughts
And all my ways
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.
Cuz when you do my pride will take over
All my thoughts
And all my ways
Will hurt my soul and cause me pain.

Sunlight coming through your window,
Lay your head down on your pillow.
Feel the air inside your lungs
Evaporate and turn to silver.
Moonlight on the walls and floors
Of a house you know you can't afford,
But a good deed turns into a mirror,
Your reflection turns to silver.
It happens all the time.
I try to ignore it,
Chasing after gold, not satisfied.
It's nothing more than atrophy,
Nothing a little silver couldn't buy.
The meaning of the thoughts I think,
The implications of my actions,
Never fail to disappoint,
Never fail to be distractions.
I'm not tryna be someone I'm not
But then again it is a lot of work
To do the things I know I should.
Bur no matter what I think or do
I'll always have you, always have you.
No matter what I think or do,
I'll always have you, always have you.
No matter what I think or do,
You'll be there for me, even when I won't be there for you.
You'll be patient, you will get me through.
It happens all the time.
I try to ignore it,
Chasing after gold, not satisfied.
It's nothing more than atrophy,
Nothing a little silver couldn't buy.
The currency of life is failing,
Luxury, no never savings.
God I just want something to stay.
Signed the contract for my soul
To pay off all the debt I owe,
Bankrupt by emotion and heartache.

Let Go

I been walking round in circles for some time,
People say that it's easy to get left behind.
My heart is stubborn and it really tries to convince my mind that all of this is nothing more than theater and lies.
I've been having all these thoughts I've been so blind.
Gave no notice to anything except my high.
What if all it takes is a certain frame of mind,
After all it's not the cynical who care enough to realize that
Pain is only temporary. Love is lost and gained in a moment.
But a change of heart does not discount the better parts.
It's hard to appreciate the time well spent when it goes away,
Don't want to anticipate purposeless social real estate but I know
I'm letting go.
I guess it's normal not to want to feel sometimes.
Little things really get to me and my pride.
Hope and regret are often intertwined
But the back and forth is tiring, i'm trying to be satisfied that.
Pain is only temporary. Love is lost and gained in a moment.
But a change of heart does not discount the better parts.
It's hard to appreciate the time well spent when it goes away,
Don't want to anticipate purposeless social real estate but I know
I'm letting go.
What do you want?
Do you even know?
What do you want?
To let go.

Do you want to sit next to me?
It’s ok if you don’t, I understand.
Night is coming to and end, the people came and went but we stayed.
We can just pretend,
Just for a moment, I guess.
That we can live forever on this Earth without consequence.
So much time and space just to get a taste of immortality.
Forever would be torture without perfect grace and unflawed reality.
I cannot bear to face the tears running down your face
the image projected in my mind, I play it back and then rewind
To think about you one more time.
I can barely stand the thought of sickened childhood imitation.
Burning in an afterthought that lies awake when I am dreaming
Memories away that we forgot.
Do you wanna leave?
It’s ok if you don’t, but I think i’ll go.
My parents are asleep, I was supposed to be home an hour and a half ago.
This was fun.
We had a good run, didn’t we?
The happiness and joy that you brought to me will never be outdone.
So much time and space and we get our own opportunities
Forever will be better now with you and I together in between.
You can change your history of insincere hypocrisy
By giving your priorities to everyone and everything around you
In generosity.
You will give all of yourself yeah letting go for someone else
A love that will not cease until the dying breath,
till death does what it does and there isn’t one heartbeat left.
So what is one mistake?
If not just serendipity.
What is one heartbreak?
If not a chance to forgive.
I know there’s a lot at stake
But a little faith goes a long way.
So i can’t stay.
I can’t live forever,
I will die one day
Not to be remembered
As my hair turns to gray,
And my skin dissipates,
As my bones can’t support
The weight of living anymore
I will say “I’m sure”.
