It’s funny when back to reality strikes
You return to mediocrity and mundane days
That’s just life

We make our own misery, create our own pain
Simply slip through
Day by day

All I want to do is tear it all down
All in one fell swoop
Plant a tree in its place and watch it roots
Spread and its branches reach
North to south, west to east

We are taught to believe
That dreams are just that
We are raised with the notion
That one must settle where they’re at

“Why?” one might ask,
It’s just a part of human flaw
You doubt yourself, as do I
But don’t we all?
But I’ve lived through certain moments,
Some of the best I’ve ever lived
And when the clock strikes midnight,
I have to go back to it

To the routine, to a tired, old place,
Back to the same old
But I’m done with hiding my face,
Through with trying to fit the mold

Break it, just break it
Break it all down
And when it falls
The tall, stone walls will
Leave way to show what surrounds

And what you’ll find is nothing short
Of brilliance at its best
But don’t be scared, just be prepared
That the brilliance is a test

The brilliance both hurts and
Makes you feel like you’re back in time again
Back when you’re running through fields
With nothing but you
And your innocence at hand
I’m telling you, just run
And spin and love and fall into chance
Stare into his eyes and kiss him
And when it rains and storms,
Then dance

Don’t think at all but think about it all
And when you fall just let yourself fall

But remember what you do now
And how it can hurt another then
Cause what’s the difference if
You didn’t mean harm but
You harmed them in the end?

Open them up, your eyes
There’s brilliance all around us
In disguise

You’ll be surprised
And I promise there will be
Much beauty, love carefree
There she is, I found her
I found me
