The white line races past
My eyes steady and try to cast
Everything blurs and ties
Even the horizon can fool the wise

we were the ones pushed and shun
Architects pieces crumbled and done
This can only be nature's pun

dream of screams and cry for lies
Who's destined to fall and die
Who's pulled and dragged for the climb

Only darkness from the sun
All our hearts weigh a ton
Changing the world
after the initial twirl

All our sources are drained
If everybody is blamed
How can we redeem and claim?

When our traces are sought
and when everything is lost
We stayed and what was the cost?

Through mistrust, and our father's guns
all that is left is the fabricated sun

I wish I could forget those words
you said on the telephone

You hurt me with your tone
why do you make me feel so alone

I just wanted to show my mind
But I, to you, appear blind

I wanted to hide my frustration
To keep my interpretations

Trying to say the right thing
May not be the best way to sing
You try and hide my tears
All you bring is fears

My madness is on a new wave
That I used to refuse to crave

You cannot even hide your lies
You'll even tell me twice

Why can't our love be forever more
All this hurts me to the core

We have the world between us
All we can do is fuss

I've tried to give you my heart
the most important part
you give me your sigh
and I am left to cry

I don't know what drives the flame
From years ago, it feels the same

From my mind to my actions
I look and see all the transactions
it is all derived from the same factions

I feel as if I'm the one to blame
Even though I'm told not to claim

I don't know what drives the flame
From years ago, it feels the same

Everything that has been uttered
Leaves me in the dark to only mutter
Talking with your insolence, you never stutter

I've tried helplessly to bury
What has been often so scary

I don't know what drives the flame
From years ago, it feels the same

When I think we've come so far
Everything seems to be, just under par
I will always wait, with my door ajar

Forever I will always wonder and wait
Hoping that our time is not too late

I don't know what drives the flame
From years ago, it feels the same

We share the moon
We share the sun
We love one another

We anxiously speak
We anxiously listen
We wait for the call

We learn to change
We learn to remain
We take it all on

We sometimes hate
We sometimes love
Why not forever

We are war
We are peace
always and forever


We often argue
We often agree
We don't mind the tone

Just say your mind
We will have the time
It will all be fine

Why are you...
Watching, waiting
listening
to what's next
Hurrying, planning
ignoring
all that is life

judging, measuring
cursing
future events
Wanting, lusting
discovering
life's ease

Forgetting, obtaining
creating
easy methods
concerning, jesting
hurting
everything around

seeing
but unknowing
the broken man
hearing
but ignoring
the cry for help

Becoming, uprising
achieving
what you are
seeking, craving
loving
forgot the words

believing, earning
deciding
on the unknown
building, uncovering
Yearning
the old passages

Touching
but not grasping
our ideas
Crying
can't understand
why it's you

It was only yesterday
I can remember my loneliness
Until I saw my sunshine
Going down across the way

The moon shines bright
Against those evening clouds
When they clear and steer away
That’s where majestic go and fly

My shadows circle and die
Even they utter and cry
No matter how hard you try
You can’t have all your dreams

An occasional reckless scream
In the distance I try to listen
Mixed morals sound and glisten
Shut my eyes while I try

The suns usual rotation
A God or natural creation
Understanding Life and above
Is like capturing your love

Even those that taught you so
Tell you not to lie but theirs glow
Whether it’s a songbird or a crow
Sometimes you got to let it flow

The sky always waits
No matter how bad the wake
Never ever trying to take
You, me, and nothing more

My mind toggles and boggles
Good and bad being smuggled
Trying to erase and start anew
What’s left that I can see?

You said there's nothing to fear
Even though I was never held close,
It doesn't matter my heart was splattered
and nailed up on plaster

Shooting star across the way
Reminds me you didn't stay
So I’ll never forget
That my sunshine’s gone away

I thought we were moving
your words were soft and soothing

You looked so **** pretty
like the lights of New York City

When the lights go out
I can feel this drought

I thought we were moving
my mood is not improving

I would not feel this shame
if i knew you felt the same

Only if had feelings
As we lay, looking at the ceiling

I thought we were moving
I don't think our feelings are approving
