Go
Go.
Drive your car.
Into the dark.
Go as far as you can go.
Get away from here.

Stay.
If you dare.
If you don’t care about a single inch of self respect.

Don’t you blink.
Or it might disappear.
Every dream and aspiration that you’ve had.

Cause when the sun comes up every face looks so different.
All the good you saw turns bad and rots away.
And you find yourself asking why you ever stayed.

Look.
Look around.
This mile long town, it wasn’t yours to bare.

Do you care?
Would you blink if it was gone tomorrow?
Would you think about it at all?

So just go.
Just leave it all behind.
Don’t expect a face to look your way, your on your own.

Cause when the sun comes up every face looks so different.
All the good you saw turns bad and rots away.
And you find yourself asking why you ever stayed.

I have not seen the shiny city upon the hill.
I have not dabbled in violent thrills.
I have not gazed upon a setting Sun,
To busy always looking at the ground.
Such beauties have I never known even when in front of me.
What do I make with what is left?
What path do I carve out for myself?
Do I run through the night in the Moons dancing light?
Pray to a mighty God gazing from the sky?
Perhaps sit still in the dark and wait.
Past the city lights out beyond the island,
An ocean so blue and big.
I imagine my thoughts are carried by the wind out to someone else.
I have not found my peace of mind,
Although im not so sure I want to.
This violent life brings violent surprises.
I await for my next.

I’m so far gone but I’m not getting bigger.
The problem grows, persist and gets bigger.
I’m not alone but the room it gets smaller.
I’m waiting for space.
But I’m getting impatient.
The world spins and I’m getting sicker.

No time to morn
The past it gets meaner.
You’ve stood your ground.
Your friends have delivered.

Now bow your head.
The world it gets bigger.
No time to cry.
Your sad and your bitter.

You count the days.
They grow and get longer.
You’ve run out of space
This life it gets bigger.

A thousand miles,
A million years.
A half done speech,
It’s your to share.

This life is dull.
It’s yours to repair.
No time to stay
This life it gets bigger.

And let memories take shape
Underneath these hollow stars,
I wait for the perfect moment.

Chatter on the radio,
Makes  so much sense the listen close.
But your heart it keeps in line.
And all your dreams they fall in line.

You’ve been waiting for this.
the perfect moment to come alive.
They’ve been rooting for you.
The moment the contests becomes alive.

They cheer for the winning team,
That could have been you.
They hope for clarity.
That has past between you.

Night time is yours to build.
This earth is your refuge.
Take hope in common ground.
They’v been rooting for you.

Met you at the airport, caught the last flight to anywhere.
Caught your smile, made everything feel alright.

I don’t have reason to care about anything.
We don’t need a reason to care about anything.
We just need right now.

Miles away from home.
Together we still feel alone.
But I can always be ok when your by my side.

This life has so many twist and turns, we learn from those that left us burned.
This world is so crazy.

I don’t have reason to care about anything.
We don’t need a reason to care about anything.
We just need right now

I got memories of you,
Popping in and out
Like tiny bubbles In the the summer sun.

They stick to me like glue.
Like an addiction, I wish that I could kick you.
But I just keep crawling back.
Like a pain in the small of my back.

I am at war in my head.
Fighting demons off,
and hoping the Angels hold them back.
I don't have the guts to retreat.
My every emotion is telling me to give in.

Memories in my head of you,
Popping like Bubbles in in the summer time.
