She didn’t have the strength to hold on
Burying pillows with tears so soft
Someone should have told her you just got to move on
Being strong is something so lost

Broken, beaten and feeling so gone
Maybe it’s the past that still clings on
Just know that hope is never to far
Keep moving and know that you belong

Where we stand
Is not so permanent
You’re meant for more
Just keep holding on

Boy she likes to dance
Boy she likes to move
Out of my league
Hollywood queen
But that doesn't mean
She's off limits for me
I can see your eyes now
Following me through the crowd
She makes me move now
Cheesy.

Winter storms and cloudy skies
Whether or not they’ll break away
That’s always been a mystery to me
On these cold Carolina days

Some days I feel like caving in
Hope never seemed so distant
Scarlet and ginger leaves fall to earth
Suddenly life seems so slow

Maybe someday I will find my way
Back home to where I grew up
The streets silent, the winters cold
The trees hovering above

The sky never seemed so far
The sun settling over the hills
This is where my heart longs
This is where I belong

This is home
Not my favorite I have written but it's worth to be put up.

Your audience awaits
Silent reviewers at their may
Their whispers cause the grass to sway
The fields of loneliness stay astray

Trying to mend the broken seams
The strings of life hang by a thread
Your silent words cannot be heard
So beg for mercy it’s on your hands

Please don’t show me signs of forgiveness
I’ll be just fine without it (I’ll be just fine)
I’d rather have thoughtless indulgence
So I hope you change your mind (Change your mind)

I can see the horizon breaking in the distance
The storms in the distance become vibrant (So vibrant)
I can’t believe what you’ve done
So I hope you change your direction (Your direction)

There seems to always be a fork in the road
Lets hope the decision you made was right
Don’t choke on your own guilt
Your lies are filled with filth

Gravity is the only thing holding you down
The violent winds can sense your fear
Your silent words cannot be heard
So beg for mercy it’s on your hands

Please don’t show me signs of forgiveness
I’ll be just fine without it (I’ll be just fine)
I’d rather have thoughtless indulgence
So I hope you change your mind (Change your mind)

I can see the horizon breaking in the distance
The storms in the distance become vibrant (So vibrant)
I can’t believe what you’ve done
So I hope you change your direction (Your direction)

I can’t believe what you’ve done
So I hope you change your direction (Hope you change your direction)

Can you feel the waves?
Can you feel the tide?
It’s about to all come crashing down
You’re about to drown

The stars can help guide you home
We’ll mark them two by two
Constructing a memorizing pattern
Like our synchronizing breaths

Bring down the sails
We’ll leave not a trail for the others
Moving forward
There will be no chance of fail

Colliding with the shore
We’ll be no more
A shipwreck of emotions
Spilling out of our open wounds

I’m losing control of what’s real to me
This pace is just to fast
Can we please slow down?
These jagged rocks are piercing through me

Black clouds lingering slightly above
Push comes to shove when you’re motionless on the ground
I’ve never felt so alive
But in this moment I sense peace at mind

Bring down the sails
We’ll leave not a trail for the others
Moving forward
They’re will be no chance of fail

Colliding with the shore
We’ll be no more
A shipwreck of emotions
Spilling out of our open wounds

We’re wrecked, we’re wrecked
Stay alive, stay alive

Before I caught the glimpses
Of those secondary visions
The walls began to rise with murky skies
Casting dancing silhouettes along the wall

Oh, these visions will never end
Whittling away at your soul
The light finally turned dark on you
Feeding upon your apprehension

Seize the day how you vision
This world seems so dull without dreams
I can’t believe that you’re giving up
Please show us the clearer visions

The vines and trees are taking you at grasp
You better think twice
You think you’re so much better?
Maybe you should take a second glance

Oh, these visions will never end
Whittling away at your soul
The light finally turned dark on you
Feeding upon your apprehension

Seize the day how you vision
This world seems so dull without dreams
I can’t believe that you’re giving up
Please show us the clearer visions

I can’t believe you’re giving up so easy

Please show us the clearer visions

— The End —
