Right now I am not so sure that I really even know
The way that the surface may actually appear
The roads ahead may bend and break
Shifting me off of my course to parts unknown
For the time that I have I'll just sit back and try to enjoy this ride
Never really necessarily seeking a place to reside
Just living the moments trying to make the best of each situation

I have packed and locked away all of these emotional bags that I have
Taken the mental cobwebs right out of my mind
Left shattered little pieces of the past behind
Set out so desperately seeking the path to another life
Though at times the road may leave you feeling so alone
I know the truth, that there is always more room to be grown
I know the truth, that these roads can take you anywhere

At times I will admit I feel as though I have gone and lost my way
The fog settles and beguines to touch the ground
darkness falls and beguines to spread all around
Still with my will I will take this journey one step after another
Never letting go of hope with each new back slide
I'll light up the way with a box of matches and tank of gas
A line made of fire my demons could never pass

I have felt it from the time that I first set out
I've just never been the one to shout
I always find them crawling right at my back
Climbing out of the corners preparing for any chance of an attack
The second that I let my guard down
They will take me to the bottom left to drown
Set behind in a self destructive way
Honestly this is no place for me to play

I will not let it draw me back in
I would not even know where to beguine
I hold no resentment for the past
even though I'd love it if the moments would last
But there is no need to look back in shame
There is nowhere to place any of the blame
What a beautiful memory now that we have

I'll have expression painted across my face
It is not safe the ways that I think
Crossing off existence with the flutter of every blink
I have made this life what it has come to be
I am so sorry that sooner I could not see

Come and take a walk with me if you will
But I'll warn you I'll never stop at the sight of a hill
Some days there may be mountains to climb
I'll continue to make my way
Until I find my self at the highest reach of the sky
If I told you I don't feel the same faced with each task it would be a lie

You know I have seen the cause and result of your scars
Every chance I get I try to wash it all away with wishes on all the stars
I'll set myself on fire and shoot across the midnight sky
Just for a chance to bring back your hope
I swear I'd do everything that I can to become your shooting star
Though at times I may need to send myself to distances so far
To make it so much better whenever I bring myself back down to earth
Just know this everything that I do is a product of these thoughts of you

When I was left desolate and all alone
Feeling the feeling as hope begun to escape
Lost as darkness begun to drape
That is when I found exactly where I belong
Living my life manifesting the meanings between these lines of each song
The only place ever where I felt there could be no wrong
Weather I am alone or manage to make my way with you
I'll find a way to heights brand new
Never leaving you behind along the way
Ill always give you the choice to go or to stay

With bare hands worked to the bone
Brick by brick I'll find a way to construct this home
Four walls that will all come to meet
With a spirit that could never claim defeat
Filled or empty some way I'll just know exactly how
To go on about my days
But I'd be lying if I said you'd never cross my mind
You are the source my happiness can find

No matter what the world brings my way
As the years beguine to progress
And everything we remembers beguines to suddenly change
I'll make sure to keep a copy so you will never become somebody so strange
I simply could not ever dare to beguine to let you go
With all the stories and events we have come to know
I wouldn't or even couldn't turn my back on you
I'd do everything to lift you up off the ground
Even when my pride is nowhere to be found

I will fill this rocket with the richest of fuel
Aim it at the sky destination outer space
If it can not be found here I'll search every reach of that place
For the key to lock away the secrets of  Pandora's box
If I can not find it I'll break off all of the locks
Unleash this devastating state that I've been left in
Wondering when the end of the world would finally beguine

I cant even manage to stand up anymore
An outcast on the sides of the lines that you drew
Silenced with out a voice left to intervene
These thoughts I need to say may be viewed as so obscene
I only ever wanted to do what was best for you
Every vision I've ever dreamed was to bright you to a higher places
I want to take you beyond the expanse of the highest space

Come and take a walk with me if you will
But I'll warn you I'll never stop at the sight of a hill
Some days there may be mountains to climb
I'll continue to make my way
Until I find my self at the highest reach of the sky
If I told you I don't feel the same faced with each task it would be a lie
Just know never to be afraid to ask me for a hand
I'll always do everything to make sure you can stand

I still seek the Unseen
but, of course, I can't see it

I once read of the Beguines
but, of course, I can't be it

life is a horror story
but also dear with wild hope

so much is just endurance
waking, sleeping cope

what is it that I want?
where can we elope?
