As the sun goes down
And time goes on

Although we grow old
Yet the scars never truly heal

While we’re on the move
And adjusting ourselves to change

Though the world will deceive you
And so will your own heart

Yet you should “wear that smile”
And never ever look back

Cause everything will pass
And so will this
Nothing was the same but somehow they get a tiny bit better, just keep an open heart and mind

Have you ever been so high up that you can see the world below...

And though you float amongst the clouds, you can’t help but feel so alone

As we ask ourselves this every so often cause what’s worse, than a regret filled coffin....

I’m stuck in my house, with no way to get out

Cause the gloomy weather is as slick as black leather

So I sit and ponder of the things that lie over yonder

Where the grass is green and the girls aren’t so mean  

While I envision stars across the walls and planets throughout the halls

As I begin to close my eyes and soar throughout the skies

I see that this house is not a cage but a way to free my rage

Even if you never find me, just know that it will be alright

Cause somehow, I’ll always find my way back home

I’m a deep sea diver....

Who’s been down under, too far underwater

While swimming through the deep end with no means of finding the light

I’m a wolf who’s only alive at night

Who’s searching for a deeper meaning than hunting his next meal in sight

With no other purpose than to gaze at the night sky, hoping for the chance to one day, live amongst the stars 🌌

There’s a monster that lurks within us all.... it only takes one simple misstep to lose ourselves within our own free fall

She swears I’m a slave to the details

But I couldn’t afford to give you my edge

Cause what am I really without my sword

Especially in this day and age, when all I ever am, is just a bird caught in a cage, constantly trapped by my own illicit rage
