As I Dream

Sunrise, sunset
Another day has escaped me
And I took it for granted
All of the sudden I'm 25
Yesterday I was 15
Will I sleep away the night, and, before I shut my eyes, make an empty promise to myself? Not this time. I will fulfill that which I set out to accomplish.
Right now, at this moment, I still have time. And as surely as the earth spins, I will fulfill that which I set out to accomplish.
Tonight while I dream a dream beyond the heavens, I will grow wings not made of wax but steel, and tomorrow...
I'll soar beyond the apathy
I'll soar beyond the anxiety
So close to the sun
So full of Life
This I promise. This I vow.

Brothers Forever

This moment was ten years in the making
I still look back on those high school years with fondness
Even though a lot has changed, a lot has stayed the same
And I want to thank you for being the person that you are
you’ve earned my trust and my respect and you’ll always be in my heart
I hope you can say the same for me
I’ve learned from my past mistakes
i hope you can say the same for me
I’ve learned a lot
A lot has changed
A lot remains unchanged
Do you remember that time in your room
We wrote an EP in two days
No one ever sang on it
It was the first time that we made music
No earplugs, ringing ears
Do you remember that time?
Do you remember how we used to skate just outside your neighborhood?
I never thought those times would end
And ten fucking years? It’s crazy to say it aloud
Time changes a lot
But i feel proud to say
We’re just as close as
We were in the past
A lot has changed
A lot remains unchanged
Like the bond we have

Inside and Out
01:58

Your beauty exceeds that of the stars at night or the sun as it rises
Every fiber of your being is worthy of worship
Your love and kindness penetrate even the darkest parts of my heart
Your smile is a priceless work of art
So stand tall...
and command respect
Because you deserve it
Promise me that you'll always remember this
And that you'll believe it at all times
You have to know, when I sing about you, the words are the easiest to find
You are beautiful
Inside and out

Rise and Live

Not here to judge
But offer a helping hand
I've had trials of my own
I've felt so alone
Felt like ending it all
I've felt the heat
Beating down from the sun
Before my life had even begun
But I've learned not to let
Those negative thoughts win
Rise and live
You have to fight

Before I Turn to Dust
02:07
|

The sky is painted a deep red
I'm too busy admiring to hear a word you said
Sometimes I just need a moment
To wrap my head around
All that I see
And find out what it means to me
I want to make the most of it
Before I turn to dust
Before I'm lowered into the ground
Or cast out into the sea
I want to say that I have found
Exactly what it means to be me
I want to make the most of my time
Before I turn to dust

What Happened?
02:39

Is it too much to ask for a little respect? At least spell out what it is you regret. And what made you walk away? I can't believe it was so easy just to cut me off.
There is no loyalty. My heart breaks to pieces when I consider the past. I'm sick to my stomach when I think about the ease with which you tuned me out.
There is nothing uglier to me than a fucked up friendship. I hate the sight, feeling, the nature of it.
My heart is far too big for this
That's why I can't stand the emptiness
But that's why I can still forgive
And move on despite the weight of this
But honestly, honestly, honestly, what the fuck ever happened to respect and loyalty?

Colors of Life

Not all hope is lost
Not everything is bad
On occasion I'm surprised by humanity's capacity to love
Every once in a while
I can see that hate and anger aren't the only emotions people feel
I thought this world was depraved and black
But shades of gray exist in which people thrive
Not all hope is lost
Not everything is bad
I'm taken aback in those moments when cynicism is destroyed by humanism
And I realize that life's colors shine on a continuum
It isn't always black

Too much time wasted
Entertaining ourselves
Not enough time spent
Educating ourselves
I could live without the incessant asininity on the television screen. I'd survive without those fucking magazines.
I would be just fine without celebrities
I think we need new heroes
Ignorance: the seed of mediocrity
Don't associate me with that lunacy
Twenty-first century ideology matches our pathetic psychology: feed me, entertain me, as long as it comes easily.
I would be just fine without celebrities
I think we need new heroes
Ignorance: the seed of mediocrity
It grows
Read to me
I can't do it on my own

The Great Schism
02:36
|

I'll never understand the materialism you endorse
All the dollars that you chase
When you know moments wasted can't be replaced
It's the difference between us
The schism, a classic case
These irreconcilable notions
Staring me in the face
So.....
Chase that dream into the ground
Thereafter I'll never see you around
Some things never change
So If I'm lost (I'll) never be found
To these ideas (I'm) forever bound
Some things never change
It just doesn't suit me
I have too much on my mind
Things besides money I'd rather find
