Insignificant passers by
the ugly smiles
and disappointed sighs
mildew rests upon a log
fallen from the rising fog
which clears off when the sun does grow
and shines down on your eyes and nose
the face's change
the mood does too
the time has come
to power through
bass line stomping to your brain
electric vibes rush through your veins
children appear and then the dogs show
each too familiar with things they shouldn't know
Working progress
You give up...
til you shut down

why have I let go of so much
to hold on to something past

you made me see a new me
but with the distance between us she is gone

One day I will wake up and see
how i can truly be

Until that day i can finally be set free
of the heavy memories that weighs me down

Forever will I wear this mask
that hides the real me

I have become blind
But one day soon I will see
If you asked me every little thing I'd do to you,
I'd tell you my intentions one by one in order...
Dangerous--my list of things I'd do--when you consider:
The list of things I wouldn't do is shorter!

If all you are doing is searching for treasure
In the journey of your life
You will never know of the pleasure
Till you first know of the strife

For what good is knowing pleasure
If you first don't know the pain
To use as the cup of measure
Showing how much you have gained

So take it with a grain of salt
That is when you will find
A gratitude that you've gone through
The pain that brought the pleasure to life
