Inhale...
Accept life as it is
It will all get better than this

Exhale...
Just remember it gets better
And biting your lip
Will only make your eyes wetter

Inhale...
No shame in shedding a tear
Sometimes life's a burden
And gets too hard to bear

Exhale...
Relax and calm down
Think happy thoughts
And do away with the frown

Just keep breathing
And the fire will burn brighter
Keep on going
You know you're a fighter
As long as you fight
You'll get stronger
And the weight on your shoulders
Will get lighter

Oh man what a day
Why'd life have to be so grey?
As i lay defeated in bed
All i think of is being dead...
I go to sleep,
And i see some water
I take a leap
Into the endless river


Am I floating up?
Or is the sky falling?
I can't tell but the dead
And the living are calling
On one side is my father
Arms open and rejoicing
On the other is my mother
Heartbroken and mourning


I am torn and my heart breaks
I begin to fall as everything shakes
As I fall fast
My bed approaches
Filled with comfort
As darkness encroaches

Finally home
My little safe space
The only place in the world
I can show my true face

Not the happy face
Smiling at a bright tomorrow
But a zombie like expression
That shows nothing but sorrow

So this is me
In all my "glory"
Just a "happy guy"
With a truly sad story

I am lost, but I thought  
I was heading in the right direction
Though each turn I make
Takes me further from my destination
Like each step I take
On the stairway to heaven
Just takes me one step closer.
...To my eternal damnation

Two sides, one war
And I don't know which is mine
My life hangs in the balance
As I walk the fine line

Continue to chase the light?
Or should I abdicate?
Join the dark side
And find new subjects to subjugate

Or maybe Be the light
And continue to illuminate
A way for those trapped in the dark
That they may find the gate

But... what if,
I was destined for the night?
And my dream of the light
Is so i can hide in broad daylight?

Am I light fighting for dark?
Or dark fighting for light?
This i can't say
Sudden bite with no bark?
Or bark with no bite?
Thats a question for another day

So tell me this.
What good have I truly done?
When every turn I make
I am outshined by the sun?

I am the light that shines in the darkness
Even though i was born out of shadow
I find those who've lost their way
And try to set an example to follow
I may not be the brightest light
But i strive to see a better tomorrow
One filled with joy and happiness
Instead of all this misery and sorrow

I am the light that shines in the darkness
Even tho i don't always shine bright
Just like you I'm only human
So not everything that i do is right
Just like you I've had bad habits
But i fought them off with all my might
I keep my vices from becoming crutches
So one day i know I'll be alright

The end is nigh
I see it coming
Though there is no escape
Some people are running
The others repent
And feed the starving
But its too late now
The cycle is ending
After this cycle
A new beginning
But for now, the end is nigh.
I have seen it coming
