This world has me in transitions
From good to bad
But deep in my roots
I'll always be good
This image is just a shield
Protecting me from unnecessary pain
You say you know who I am
You say you're reading me
Yet you haven't opened a page
My hardcover may be misleading
But what it contains
Is nothing but a blank
Undecided in a society of pressure
With no identity I roam free
Of becoming anything I want to be

You fed me this dream
I swallowed it down
Seeing it grow
Observing the bloom
In a shape of its own
Under great care
Held in my heart
It was beautiful

Too much to risk
So much put on the line
I wont be putting my time to waste
I can feel you
You're so far away
The roots on my legs remain
I'm stuck in one place
Yet you want me to show my face
I struggle to move
Only dreams help me get closer to you
Grime covers my eyes
Heavy storms pass me by
I can finally see
The truth is so blindingly bright
No more games
Done with the pain
I was never playing
Take my heart and keep it
Anything that tries to hurt me
I wont be able to feel it
It wasn't too late
Before sacrifices were made
Misery turned to motivation
Watching it all become a waste
So don't waste my time
I'm here for one thing
So blow my mind
Since you're not mine
Its not the same
I know I don't belong
Just let me in tonight
&tomorrow; i'm gone

I can't gather my thoughts
Thought this through
I can't sustain the damage
I still see the worth
In those damaged goods
You never lost your value
Nothing can break through your gilded barrier
I treasure your very existence
Every breath of yours should be savored
A life like yours can't go to waste
As tall as you as strong as you
Those walls will remain standing forever
Above the clouds slumbering peacefully
Nothing can touch you
Don't let nobody wake you
Theres a dream that keeps you trapped in deep sleep
But who is he? Who is he? Why does he keep you asleep?
Its the past that keeps bugging you
Its no wonder you've sleepwalked through it all
Nothing is there to help you
This dream you call a nightmare
Is nothing that could compare
With the horrors of the unknown
Tell me what you know about the future

Given nothing to produce everything
These thoughts conjured in my mind
Give me time to release these dragons
Watch them blow fire over my conflicts
I was given nothing so I could give you everything
The only thing I got is heart  
This determination can be seen in my eyes
Its a fire blowing steady never to go out
Its the suffering before the glory
Don't hold onto these words
They hold no promises
Look in my soul and search for the fire
Thats where the real promise lies
I hope that you're the one
To be able to perceive it
A passion burning stronger than the sun
If you feel this then you're the one who is about to receive it

All feelings detached
I can't even sense you
You were always so out of reach
But something was always pulling us closer
Now that I've torn all bridges apart
I can no longer touch you
The touch only the soul can make
Now I sense an unbearable pain
I've been attached again
But this time its not with you
Chills cover all of my body
Tingling underneath my skin
Never thought it would end this way
A promise in the form of a ring
A commitment only a real man would make
From all my flawed memories
I can still see the sands of time trickle
Labeled hope because there is no time left for me
I know this wont be the end of me
Theres a gift only given to those worthy
Please give me a miracle

A firm grip with hands fully extent
Pressures rise when I meet your eyes
Fists clenched, I know I'm not your type
Its not till now that I see, you meet all my tastes
I don't even know you
I let you stir trouble in my mind
Gave a stranger access to my emotions
Cause me to have misfires in my mood
I feel angst in my soul and see my hearts aura explode
No control, no taking hold of it, don't look back on me
This is a tragedy, its a force of mischief
Enlightened by my mysterious characteristics
You try to get closer but I am chained
You say you have the keys
You tell me not to be afraid
I sat there defenseless and opened up the doors
Because I knew I wouldn't have to worry about getting hurt again
