Lost Perception

I watch the rain as it pours.
The puddles drown out the vision of the road.
The drone of the water clouds out my thoughts,
I’m trying to envision me and you.
You holding me and telling me everything will be okay.
But all I see are those guardrails, oh those guardrails.
After this they say everything will be okay.
It will all be over and you won't have to worry anymore.
But will you be happy? I want you to be happy.
I want to make it out alive.
Even with all these mistakes and all these regrets.
Because I’ve tried my hardest and I’ve done my best,
To be everything, everyone wants me to be.
But who am I doing it for?
Everything I do, I want to do it for you.
Take my life and save me, I’m out here on my own,
And I can’t go on much longer.
(You need to carry me, you carry me)
And when you find me just tell me how to get back home,
So I can go on forever.
(You need to carry me, you carry me)
Will I ever be whole again? You remind me that we are all broken.
Broken vessels. Shipwrecked minds.
Trapped and weathered through the storms of life.
We flow through the ocean,
Wandering aimlessly to lay our anchor down.
We never find solace. I’m begging you to bring us to the shore.
What is peace? And where is this consistency?
I’m crying out for a better way.
Bring us home. Just bring us home now.
This isn’t what I wanted or what I saw it as.
Only to find my heart ripped in half.
This is a final goodbye.

Tear it all down and rebuild.
Skyscrapers mirror the images of our own selfish desires.
The way we kill everything for our gain, it’s never enough.
Our thirst for destruction and lust
For such meaningless things is what
Brings us to the end, to the end of our civilization.
We may live in freedom, but we are surrounded by desolation.
There is disease; there is sickness
Of the selfish reigning around us.
There is no peace, there is no rest.
The American dream is dead.
But we are not dead yet!
Don’t give into these terms and conditions.
Don’t be persuaded.
All around the world we are dying to live,
But don’t know how to survive. Survive.
Have we not learned anything at all?
How did we let this happen?
How can we go back?
We choke and we beg for a simple means to get by,
But how do we get by? How do we get by?
Freedom is here in the hope of a love
Tthat is so much greater than this.
Be a part of something and help pick up the pieces
Where your forefathers and generations left off.
Be the change that you want to see.
Be a part and let your story be heard.
We need to rise up.
Rise up.

Controlled Chaos

Every night I’m drowning to death in my own sleep
And I can’t get a grip on what is real and what is reality.
And I try so hard, try to overcome.
But I will lose everything if I’m on my own.
Darkness has overtaken my life.
Where have you gone? I’m lost in this fight.
Open your eyes; you were made for so much more.
Don’t waste your life; you were made for so much more.
They won’t take you out alive.
Fight back until your last dying breath.
And even when the darkness closes in,
Don’t be afraid, but fight for your life.
I am the waves, you are my ocean.
An abundance of love with fulfilling proportions
Lost in this darkness, until I could see the light
Blinded by regret, until your grace gave me sight
Yes, your grace gave me sight.
No longer will I fear the dark.
It is nothing we can’t handle together.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Don’t let go.

Why did you have to go away?
Why couldn’t you just stay here with me?
It was me and you against it all. Against it all.
The times shared are now pictures on the wall.
The memories are fading and I hate that they are.
I hate that they are.
But I can’t hear your voice through these old photos
And these cheap wood frames. I hold so tightly
The tags and cross you wore around your neck
And sometimes, I swear I can
Hear your voice in the distance.
It’s calling me, relentlessly.
I search for peace that will never come.
Comfort never comes with the morning sun.
I guess I forgot to sleep again.
I cherish those moments that will never happen again.
And I always ask God why he took you then.
My brother died in my arms.
There is a hole in my heart.
I cherish those moments that will never happen again.
And I always ask God why he took you then.
Where have you gone? I need your light.
I need you back in my life.
I’ll make it up there to meet you my friend.
And we’ll laugh and make memories again.
And God will say,
“That’s why I took him away.”
To see if you would stay when I took everything,
Would you still march for me?
March for me.

Everything's Eventual

And if these words fade away, I wouldn’t even care.
And I’ll just fade away.
Lifting high above the clouds to where you are.
And I’m so lonely.
I haven’t seen a friendly face in such a long, long time.
These days are hard to get through; I just want to see you.
When I get these phone calls from home
It’s only about the death that surrounds me.
Show me you’re out there, show me you’re real.
I haven’t felt this way in a long time.
And even when the sun is shining its brightest,
I can’t see the smile on your face.
Take me home, tonight. Take me home.
Take me home, tonight. Take me home.
Take me home, tonight. Take me home.
Just take me home.
I beg for forgiveness because I don’t deserve it.
I’m everything that’s wrong with the world
And everything you find beautiful.
What do you see in me? What do you see in me?
I hope one day I can see it in myself.
So don’t go back on what you said.
Those words mean everything to me.
I’m holding on, not sure to what.
But I feel like giving up.
Words and words and words; All I hear are words and words.
When will I see? When will I feel? When will I know?
